At 8 o'clock the business meeting was held.
Rev. A. A. Smith was chosen Moderator, and
prayer was offered by Rev. Mr.. Stevens. Rev.
Messrs. Prtchard, Bailey, and Whitcher were
appointed committee on business, and author
lied to serve as the committee on correspond
ence. Messrs. McLane Hannaford and Hig-
gins were appointed special committee to
nominate delegates to the yearly conference.
The reading of the report showed that the va
rious churches throughout the county are gen.
orally in flourishing condition. 1t was voted
to hold the August session of the quarterly
meeting with the church at West Falmouth.
At half-past ten o'clock public service was
held. The sermon was delivered by Rev. Mr..
Peckham, delegate from the Parsonsfeld
quarterly meeting, from second Corinthians
5:14-''The love of Christ constraineth us"
The general subject of the sermon was the

way. In the afternoon Rev. Mr. Bartlett of

evening the preacher was Rev. DIR. Day of
Dover, N, H., editor of the Morning Star. The
music was by the First Parish choir.
A WHOLESALE BUsNEss.-The accumula-
ton of liquor cases before the last grand jury
was so great that the County Attorney found it
convenient to have a batch of indictments
printed for these cases, with blanks for the
names, dates, &C.. so he ground them out rap
idly. When the first of the 200 cases were call
ed up in the Superior Court on Tuesday, excep
tons were filed in each by the counsel for the
defence, and as it was cheaper to do the work
by wholesale full printed forms were used, with
the necessary spaces for names; and the pro-
cess of filing occupied but few moments
The counsel carry all these cases to the law
term on the ground that the grand jury that
found the indictments was not a lawful grand
jury. In 1871, it will be remembered, the Leg
;slo in q nd lad
inal powers of ;the Superior Court and this
grand jury was sworn in in July of the same
wear, in violation of law An act of January
49, 1872, restoring the criminal powers of the
Court it is claimed, cannot validate any indict-
ment already found, or any grand jury already
drawn, since it violates article /, section 9, par.
agraph 8, and other provisions of the Constitu
ton of the United States.

CRcUs-Messrs. Bailey & Co.'S tent wa
dersely packed with visitors yesterday after
moon and evening. The company has fairl
taken the people by storm, and if the visit ha
been prolonged two days more we have n
doubt that the proprietors would have found
very profitable. There is one feature about tn
establishment that we ought to notice, to tn
Messrs Bailey's there is an elaborate tone
the performance of the arena that permits Ia
dies and young children to visit them withou
having their feelings wounded by the vulgarlt
ana coarse slang that usually obtains to 10
great an extent in circus performances. Ou
