o'clock this forenoon flames and smoke were
seen issuing from building adjoining the Office
of Hon. Edmund Wilson and occupied as a

timely discovery and the promptitude with
which the fire engines were on the spot, a most
disastrous confiagration must have followed, as

Deering.

The new Congregational meeting house at
Woodford's Corner has come nearly to compile
ton, and by the last of the present week the
carpenters and painters hope to surrender it up
to the upholsterers with their cushions and car
pets The date fixed for the dedication of the
edifce is the second Sunday in April, and the
intervening time will be sufficient to put the
building in condition for future occupancy.
The location of the new church is exceedingly
well chosen, half way up Spring street-an ele-
waited position commanding a.wide view, and
the building is itself prominent object as the
village is approached in any direction. The
architecture of the new church is composite, in
which perhaps the Italian predominates. Up
on the right, as you face the building is the
principal tower, with an ornamental spire, sur
mounted with gilded vane, the extreme height
being 105 feet. The tower contains fine-ton-
ed bell of 1900 lbs weight the gift of citizens
of Woodford's corner. Upon the left of the
front are two ornamental open turrets. The
center has large rose window over the en-
trance and two windows which light the organ
gallery. An ornamental cross surmounts the ga
BILE. On entering the church the visitor finds
himself in spacious vestibule, with the pas
sage to the vestry directly in front. On the
right and left stair-cases lead to a broad land
ing from which access is had by three doors to
the audience room. This is a light and cheer
full apartment, 60 by A feet, with walls tinted
French grey and lighted by four windows on
each side The ceiling is finished to point,
with ribs, purlines and trusses exposed, the
panels painted light blue with ornamental CEN

through two iron gratings in the ceiling with
the monogram his in the center. The pull
pit recess is about six feet deep, the arch being
finished with a heavy stucco bordering. The
organ loft is spacious enough for an instrument
of large size and has a neat little music room
attached. The pews are of brown ASH with
black walnut trimmings, and will afford seats
for an audience of $50 persons. The desk is of
similar material, very neat and tasty in design.
In the basement is yestry or lecture room,
A by 42A feet and IL feet high, entered from
the front vestibule and door upon the side of
the church. Adjoining is a sewing or class
room, and kitchen furnished with all the ma
terial necessary for the preparation of refresh
ments for social gatherings and levees.
The cost of the building, exclusive of the land,
is about $4,000. The plans were furnished by
Messrs F. H. Fassett s. Son, of Portland.
The contractor is Mr.. Day. and he has done his
work well, and to the acceptance of the build
ing committee, we have no doubt. The society
has been organized but few months and has
yet no minister, but we presume call will be
extended to some good man at an early day
The members have shown commendable liber-
atty in their contribution to the building fund
and there is material enough in this pleasant
village for strong and successful organiza.

CARPET RENovATING.-Mr. George N. Bish-
OPP, the proprietor of new patent process for
renovating carpets without removing them from
the floor, is about to locate himself at No. 16
Market Square, and offer his invention to the
citizens of Portland. He claims that he can
speedily remove oil, dust, dirt and coal smoke
from the most delicate carpets and rags, re-
storing the colors and without injury to the
fabric; on the contrary his method softens and
lightens the fibre and gives the carpet as long
as the nap is not injured all its original beauty
The process has been adopted in many of the
largest hotels of Boston and New York, and
many testimonials of its efficacy are in the
possession of Mr.. Bishop.

Mr.. EDITOR: One word in behalf of the
"Childrens Concert" 1t was my pleasure to
attend their first, given on the 9th of December,
which was indeed most charming affair.
The unanimous expression of the audience was
that it ought to be repeated; but the hall could
not be obtained on account of prior engage
ment. So their teacher, Mr.. Fitch, decided to
wait until the close of a second term of school:
when, they would be able to offer better pro-
gramme even, than the one already rendered
(which was good enough.) Now their second
advertisement is before the public and it seems
to me that among the many reasons which
might be given, there are two why this concert
should commend itself to our kind consdera-
ion and patronage
First it is encouraging worthy efforts to edu-
cate our children in that science, which brings
so much of happiness into our homes. The
second reason is they have an excellent treat in
store for us; and as young people are easily dis
appointed Ihope full house will greet their
second appearance. f n c. j. L. '

FATAL Acc1DENT.-Dr. Ephriam Bre-
ward, of Lincolnton, was killed by a fall from
his horse, on the 14th. 1t is not extravagant
to say that he was the most promising physi-
clan of his age in the Southern country.
The late President of Davidson College had
the most exalted opinion of his professional
skill and when he wished to compliment a
student he was accustomed to say, with
proper diligence, you may make man like
DR.. Brevard," though he vas careful not to
say equal to DR.. Brevard.
Inheriting the blood, bearing the name
and adoring the profession of Doctor Ephraim
Brevard, the celebrated author of the
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence
of IT'S, the deceased was as ardent lover
of liberty as his illustrious kinsman. Dur
ing the four years struggle for constitutional
liberty, he was faithful, jealous and efficient
Confederate officer, discharging with signal
ability the duties of the profession he loved
30 well. Brave, chivalrous, generous, warm
hearted, truthful, modest and honorable he
had all those high and noble qualities which
win the esteem of the pure and good.

in: to one could pull more than span Of
mules belonging 10 the othe. 1t was decid-
ed to try it in the middle of the main street
of the villige. The mules were hitched to
the end Of long, stout chain, and the horses
at the other end. At the words "get up!"
quick sprang each span, both sharp-shod,
gaining and losing by fits and starts, the
horses finally pulling the mules after them.
At another trial, the mules went off with
their load. This was followed by long,
cheering shout from the crowd. But after
various trials it was decided that the horses
were the stronger, for in the last trial they
pulled the mules after them, turning them
about in their harness, amidst the great ap-
plause of the bystanders.

TERMINATING THE HAIR.-When the hair ceas-
es to draw from the scalp The natural lubricant
which is its sustenancc its vitality is as it were
suspended, and if not promptly attended to- bald
ness will be the certain result. The one sure
method of avoiding such an unpleasant catsstro-
ply, is to use Lyons, Katharion, which when we'll
rubbed into tbs scalp will speedily reanimate
the hair, and prevent it from fallingO out Besides
that, this inmtable resistant and strengthener
of the La air nourishes and stimulates its young
and tender fbers, removes all obstacles to their
growth in the shape of dandruff and dirt, and
ultimately produce new crop of hair, stronger,
glossicr, and twice as abundant as the old. As
hair dressing, it is notably the most agreeable,
refreshing and serviceablc article ever placed
upon dressing table.

ABO DIV aud Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the brain
arc too intimately allied for one to suffer without
the other, so that dypcpsia and dependency arc
inseparable. 1t may be added, too, thatirritation
of stomach is almost invariably accompanied by
irritation Of temper.
The invigorating and tranquilizing operation
of Hostettcr's Bitters is most powerfully devel-
opod in cases ofindigestion. The first effect Of
this agreeable tonic is comforting and encourag-
ing. A mild glow pcryadcs the system, the
chronic uneasiness in the region Of the liver Is
lessened, ard the nervous restlessness which
charactorizcs the disease abates. This improve
ment is not transient. 1t is not succeeded by
the return of the old symptoms with superadded
force, as is always the case when unmedicated
stimulants are given for the complaint. Each
dose seems to impart healthful accession of
invigoration. But this is not all. The aperient
and anti-billious properties of the preparation
are scarcely secondary in importance to its tonic
virtues. II there is IN overflow oil bile the score
tion is soon brought within proper limits, and if
the hilary organ is inert and torpid it is toned
and regulated. The effect upon the discharging
is equally saluary, and in cases of constipation
the cathartic effect is just sufficient to produce
the desired result gradually and without PAIN
The pitters also promote healthy evaporation
from the surface, which partic ularly desirable
at this season when sudden spells of raw, un-
pleasant weather arc apt to check the natural
Precipitation and produce congestion of the liver,
coughs and colds. The best safeguard against all
diseases is bodily uigor, and this the great vcgeta-
BILE restorative especially promotes. Jan4 mi
