The STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION
Sufficient notice has been given of the Mass
Temperance Convention to he held in this city
tomorrow to gather here the earnest, active
friends of the cause from every part of the
State. The reform never looked so encouraging
as now. The most vigorous prosecution of the
strictest law ever upon the statute book, sup
plemented by the persuasive measures of the
Washingtonian principle, has pretty much
driven the improper use of intoxicating liquor
out of the community; and the men who have
brought about this state of affairs have cause
for rejoicing. The meetings this week may
partake of the character of a jubilee, as well as
aconference to devise how to continue the pres
emit condition of things. A large number of
speakers have promised to be present; and we
have no doubt the people of Portland will ex-
tend a generous hospitality to the strangers
who are coming. r.T.5 .laE ufE3

ACCIDENTALLY DRowNED-On Saturday
schooner Lady Woodbury., Capt Woodbury., of
Cape Elizabeth, sailed on a fishing cruise, and
in the afternoon, while off Jeffries, about 80
miles from the Cape, one of the crew was
drowned under the following circumstances
The vessel was underway and the crew were
just preparing to go for school of mackerel-
A seine had been loaded into one of the dores,
which was towing alongside, with the bow-line
attached to the boom, and the stern-line car
ried aft to the vessels quarter. Seven men goa
into the boat when the bow-line parted from
the boom and the boat swung round and
preached, tipping seine and men into the water.
Another boat was got out and sent to the res
cue. Three men were clingng to the boat and
three were swimming. The seventh was afloat
a short distance off. All were picked up, bu
when the most distant man was reached he was
dead 1t is supposed that the boat, in upset
ting, struck him, as his face was considerably
bruised. The dece ased was VIM, E. Jewett OF
Westport aged about 55, widower with two
children. The vessel put back with the body
and arrived yesterday morning. Coroner Hal
was notified of the circumstance, and after in
quiring infinitely into all the facts, decided that
an inquest was unnecessary. The body of the
drowned man will be sent to his home to-day.

AnnHsT FOR LARoHSy.-The police on Sat-

Chase, aged II, claiming to belong to North
Bridgewater, Mass, and James Edward FRYE
of this city, for larceny. Frye is the son of re
spectacle parents and has been employed for
year in the store of Merrill, Prince & Co.. fam
cy goods dealers, on Middle street. For some
time past the firm have missed property and
suspected him, but finally concluded that they
had wronged him by unjust suspicious. Frye,
on being arrested, confessed that he had stolen
at different times, nearly $500 from letters, be-
sides goods. Some of the latter had been given
to Chase. Chase engaged a room at the Amer
lean House on Friday night for himself and
two others, but occupied it alone His move
ments were suspicious, and Deputy Marshal
Sterling was put on his track, and finally took
him into custody. He had on him some of the
goods taken from Merrill, Prince & Co., and a
small brass compass, which he said had been
given him at Jones' packing factory in Deer
ing but which he doubtless stole.

GoD IN HIsToRY.-This was the subject of
lecture at the Chestnut street Methodist Church
yesterday forenoon by DR.. HI. A. Cutting, of
Vermont The plan of the discourse was to
show that God had made all history subservient
to christianity. After briefly sketching the
different theories of the creation taught by the
ancients and the modern heather nations, he
remarked that the Holy Scriptures contain all
we know of the first $500 years of the worlds
existence. Since that period we have to depend
on civil history. This contains little else than
the details OF slaughter and devastation. The
Carthagenian war ended in the triumph of the
Republic of Rome with its culture and higher
type of civilization, almost akin to christianity,
which fitted her for the position of mistress of the
world. Then began the Christian era, and the
implanting of churches. Out of the combined
efforts of the heather nations to crush out
Christianity came victory for the Gospel. and
thousands sang praises to God. AS civilization
swept westward it was accompanied by the march
of armies and war opened the way for Christiani-
ty. The battle-ields of the Continent gave
origin TO the AngloSaxon, the noblest race the
world has ever seen. The career of Napoleon
gave Protestant England instead of Catholic
France supremacy in Europe; and in all time
has the evil of war been overruled for good
The rapid growth of missions aud the multiple
cation of Bibles is another proof of the power
of God in history. In the past seventy years
the Bible has been given to oyer five hundred
millions of people, and nations, once pagan,
are now Christian. The Sandwich Islands, but
just now won to the cross, are instrumental in
distributing the Gospel to others. The COM
merce of the world has helped Christ's king
dom. The getting of gain has often been its
chief motive, but God has made it the vehicle
of seed-thoughts. 1t is the friend of liberty
and peace. 1t languishes amidst confusion and
turmoil. Its myriads of smoke-stacks are calu-
NETS of peace passing backward and forward be-
tween nations, which none of them dare extin
guish. Two-thirds of the commerce of the
world is controlled by England and America,
which promote the spread of religion. Com
merce and the telegraph has made the world
smaller than it was. Our language is the
means of spreading religion, for he who speaks
it must imbibe its sentiments. We live in won
drous times. God is making history faster
than we can write it; and sooner or later he
will bring into it the fact that all men are
Christians ..-. O. .,--.a-..~- .--,.,---

1t hadn't fiat roof, nor a portico no
thing at all of the kind. But then it had
rose vines running all over the windows,
and whole colonies of wrens that built
their nests and sang beneath its caves.

was, last evening, the scene of one of
those acts of brutality and fiendishness,
for which that locality has become 50
notorious, and from which it derived its
classic appellation. How the affair COM
menced has not yet been ascertained, but
will be judicially investigated this morn
ing. Soon after six o'clock in the after
noon, Brian McDonough returned home,
and after entering the house, noise, as
of a scutfle, was heard from within. He
was then seen to emerge from the house
dragging his wife by the heels, her head
striking from the threshold to plat
form below, and from thence, over
rocks and stones. He then threw pail
of water over her, and after again drag
ging her, by her.heels, over the rocks
and stones, he varied his amusement by
jumping and stamping on her back with
the heels of his boots. He again attempt
ed to renew the dragging process, when
some of the neighbors made a flank
movement ON him with stones and other
missiles, compelling him to desist and
driving him off. He is now in Jail and
his wife is, of course, confined to her
bed the physician, however, does not
apprehend fatal consequences.
