The Choral Service.

choral festival, the first of the kind ever
held, we believe, in this city, was participated
in last evening, at st. Marks church, by the
choir Of that church, the choir of St. Luke's
church in Portland, and that of st. Johns
in Bangor. The exercises consisted of the
regular evening services Of the Episcopal
church, and was choral throughout, the can
ticles being sung to the old and inspiring
tunes, full Of worship and harmony. The
united choirs numbered from sixty to seventy
young men; and while the occasion was not
intended as musical exhibition, all present
must have been impressed with the beauty
and appropriateness of the service. Mr.
Upjohn, the rector of st. Marks, is much in
terested in church music, and its advance
ment, and the coming together of these
choirs cannot fail to be help in that direc-
ton. During the service there was a brief
sermon by Rev. MIR. Hayes of Portland, and
an earnest address by Bishop Neatly in favor
of the adoption of the choral service by all
TIE churches, that the entire congregation
may have lively and active participation in
the worship of Gods house.
The audience room of the church was
crowded, many being obliged to stand. Many
came from Gardiner and Hallowell, a special
train being run for their accommodation.
There will be another service this morning at
o'clock.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
DEATH OF AN .ERONAUT.

New York. s. A letter from Ionia, Mich,
gives the following details of the death of La
Mountain, the eronaut: When fully a half
mile from the earth and when the whole
structure looked no larger than q hogshead,
the balloon slipped between the ropes and
was instantly inverted, Car and occupant
dropped like shot, with the most terrific
velocity, the unfortunate man clinging to the
basket. That he was conscious was evident
from his struggles. With all the intensity of
life he sought to raise the basket above him,
evidently hoping to use it as parachute. He
succeeded in his object, but when about 100
feat high he loosed his hold, folded his hands
and arms before his face and his feet first
struck the earth, with a dull, heavy thud.
Then issued panic and uproar in the multi
tude. Women tainted. men wept and the
canvass came flying over the immense crowd
like huge bird. Some one cried out to get
from the way, as it would fall with crushing
force. Then the cry was taken up, and a
general rush was made for safety in which
many were more or less injured. La Noun
tain was crushed into literal pulp. A medi-
cal examination disclosed the fact that hardly
a whole bone was left Many were ground
and splintered to powder His jaws fell upon
his arms and were pulverized, and the blood
spurted from his mouth and ears. The corpse
was laid out and placed on the public square,
where it was viewed by thousands during the
afternoon, and was sent home at Brooklyn,
Michigan, the following day.

AT a regular meeting of the city council
Of Hallowell, on Monday evening last, the
usual amount of routine business was tram
sacted, not of importance to the general
reader At the request of the City Marshal,
Joshua Cunningham was added to the regu-
lar police force. Roll of accounts, No. 4, to
the amount of S237.64 was passed. The
street commissioner was instructed to rebuild
sidewalk on north side of Union street, from
Middle to Warren street. Petition of Fl. 8.
Owen, asking for repair of culvert near his
premises on Union street, was referred to the
street commissioner, with instructions to
make necessary alterations or repairs. The
city liquor agent reported sales for the past
month to the amount of $l5i.21.
Many Of our citizens are now enjoying the
delights of Squirrel Island life, greatly to the
benefit of health, and adding to their stock
of comforts generally. Those left alone to
attend to home household affairs, appear as
resigned and submissive as the circumstances
of the case will admit.
By carrying the culyert, alluded to in our
report of the doings of the city council, across
Union street from the corner of II. S. Ovens
house directly west of Niles stable, a shorter
distance to the main sewer would be secured,
while at the same time it would, if properly
constructed, relieve the street of quagmre
that almost invariably renders that locality
dangerous one when the frost leaves the
ground in the spring of the year. The old
culvert is completely filed with mud, and it
will be fund difficult to keep one clean in the
same locality on account of constructing it
for long distance along an almost dead level
By adopting the other course, sufficient fall
may be secured to keep the culver: free, and
save future trouble and expense. We charge
nothing for the suggestion, whether adopted
or otherwise.

Good Words for an American Minister,
The Rev. John F. Thomson, writing from
Montevideo to Zion's Herald, pays the follow
ing deserved compliment to the able services
performed in that country by Hon. John L.
Stevens of this city, the L. S. Minister
In speaking of the friends Of the mission,
ought not to omit the name of the Hon. John
l.. Stevens, L. S. Minister to this country and
Paraguay; nor can forbear saying the truth
in his praise. Mr.. Stevens is one of the tru-
est, most devoted ministers we have ever had
in the Rio de la Plata; he is a wise and faith
full friend to the interests and enterprises of
his countrymen in this far-off land. During
most Of his residence, the country has been
convused by civil war, in which all kinds of
abuses and annoyances have been practised.
But, owing to the diligence and energy of
their representative, none have been safer, or
more respected than citizens of the United
States. 1t is undeniable that Mr.. Stevens is
city, with respect to energy, f3eittY, determt-
nation and success SO much SO, that have
frequently heard citizens of other nations say
Il wish we had minister like Mr.. Stevens
here" He is a representative of the United
States who knows the history of his country
the strength and nature OF her resources, and
the peculiarties of her political organization
1t is delightful for those Americans who have
been absent from home for any length of time,
to call upon the minister, who in clear and
glowing terms will give them such informa-
ton of their country as they could not easily
obtain, either in newspapers or letters. Mr..
Stevens and family are seldom absent from
our services.

FROM HALIFAX.

Halifax, s. Very little further has been
received from the wreck of the steamer City
of Washington. The passengers are sup
piled with cooked provisions from the ship.
1t is expected that she will be got off if the
weather continues favorable. There is great
anxiety among the passengers for the arrival
of the M. A. Starr, which sailed from this
port this morning for the wreck. The Off
GERS of the ship report that no observation
had been taken for eight days. When the
ship first struck there were only few feet of
water over the bar, the tide being low, but
the water came in through hole that had
been knocked in the ships bottom and there
is now over ten feet of water in her hold. 1t
will be impossible to ascertain the extent of
the steamers injuries until the cargo has
been taken out, but it is hoped that the hole
may be plugged up and the vessel floated and
repaired. She has full general cargo, part
of which is very valuable.
Ragged islands received their name from
the rough nature of that part of the coast.
A number of ships have been wrecked at diff
ferent times within distance of three or tour
miles on either side of where the City of
Washington now lies. The most notable of
these was the transport Emolus, wherein
several lives were lost; steamer Pochalas,
from this city, bound to st. John, n. b., and
the Philadelphia ship Hezekiah Williams.
There are two lighthouses on these islands,
each distant about two miles, onetto the east
and the other to the west of Labesr bar, but
there is of course no protection in the day
time or foggy weather but fog horns. Bells
or steam whistles have not been placed there
to warn approaching vessels of their danger
In the present instance it is said that though
the shore was so near that one might almost
have passed a biscuit on it still the fog was
SO dense that the land could not have been
seen.
Capt. Sheridan sub marine diver of this
city, has charge of the recovery of goods
from the ship.

Fourth of July at East VassaIbOro'.

Mr.. A. NJ. Bradley, proprietor of the Re-
we're House made preparations to entertain
people who are fond of sailing and solid
amusement. On the morning of the 18th a
gentle breeze sprung up from the south, which
is especially favorable for sailing to and from
the island; and by the time the second boat
started from the wharf the wind had increased
to good sailing breeze, and so remained all
day. 1t was not such a breeze as old tars
like to see, one that makes the sPars crack
and the rigging snap, and the water to boil :;
but it was what we fresh water sailors term a
"ladies breeze" which blows steady and
keeps the sails full Mr.. B. was especially
| favored by wind and tide, in carrying out the
programme of the day. When people are on
q sailing or fishing excursion fish chowder
| seems to be the appropriate diet. Of the peo-
pies appreciation and recommendation of
their refreshments on that day one has to
look only to the quantity of chowder consum-
ed. All partook of square meal, and many
INDUCED in dinner for hired man. About
| one hundred and fifty persons we're entertain
ed, coming from Augusta, Waterville, West
Waterville, Fairfield, Vassalboro' and China.
Not a jar occurred during the day; every
| thing moved forward with system, and not a
harsh word spoken. The company consisted
of ladies and gentlemen in every sense of the
! word, and one fact worthy of notice, they
| come with fine teams. Music was furnished by
Messrs. Cony and Pettingll of Augusta, who
are full band within themselves. Dancing
| was participated in quite extensively. just
| as the last boat reached the wharf on the
| homeward bound trip, fine shower coming
| up from the southwest, struck, and refreshed
| the crowd with sprinkling. Thus ended the
programme. Although the shower was not
advertised, yet it was very timely.
