Interesting religious services were held Of
the south Congregationalist Church in this
city, on Tuesday evening of this week, in con.
nection with the ordination Of Rev. G. W.
Barber, the Chaplain Of Togus Military Asy-
lum. An ecclesiastical council assembled in
the afternoon, Of which Rev. C. G. McCn,ly
Of this city, was Moderator, and Rev. ]. Dins.
more of Winslow. Scribe. Representatives
were present from the Congregational
churches Of Augusta, Gardiner, Richmond,
Waterville, Winslow, and the Central church
, Of Bangor. The candidate was examined as
to his christian experience and doctrinal views,
and approved by the Council.
The principal exercises of the evening were
briefly, as follows;
Introductory Prayer by Rev. James Cam
cron of Watervlle.
Reading Of the scriptures BY Rev. W. C.
Curtis Of Richmond.
Sermon by Rev. Geo. W Field, D. d., Of
Bangor.
Ordination Prayer u Rev. T. Adams, d.
D., of Winslow.
Charge to the Evangelist, by Rev II. F.
Harding of this city.
Right Hand of Fellowship by Rev James
II. Ecob of Augusta.
Concluding Prayer by Rev. B. A. Rob:c, of
Wilmington, Mass.
The sermon was from the text, Isaiah, XIII ::
10: 81 will make man more precious than
fine gold; even man than the golden wedge
Of Ophir." Like all the productions of its dis
tinguished author, it was sermon of finished
beauty and power Three points were
presented that progress is the law Of
humanity; second, this progress Is in the
direction of a higher valuation Of individual
man; third, that Christianity introduces and
carries forward the growing sentiment which
exalts the worth Of man.
The singing, under the direction of DR..
Halves, was admirably rendered. and added
greatly to the interest Of the meeting. A So
cal gathering and picnic supper arranged by
the ladies of the society, were among the en-
joyable features of the evening, and served
to Danish that feeling of Formally and re-
straint so often manifested on such occasions.
We notice call for caucus OF the cti-
zens Of IIallowell, at City Hall on Friday
evening next, at half past seven O'Clock, fer
the purpose OF nominating candidate for
Mayor Of the city for the ensuing year.
We learn that the services OF the choir on
the occasion of the ordination of Rev. Mr..
Barber. were handsomely recognized by the
gentleman, in the shape Of aten dollar green
back for the benefit of the class, iuc!osed il
a neat and laudatory note Of acknowledge
ment for their services.

been 7sI6 cases, against 'lJ0 cases for the same

The shipments from Haverhill for The week have
been ill9 cases, against 6s2l cases ior The same
week last year.
There are more buyers here from the Southern
markets, and this SCanch Of the shoe trade is well
represented; most of them however, are buying
cautiously, and the shipments are not SO heavy as
last year. The Western trade are ordering some
goods, and ON most descriptions OF seasonable
goods there is a fair business, without being any
special rush. The season at the West is particu-
LARRY backward, but there has been a large con.
sumption OF boots and shoes, and the country
trade will lie obliged to replensh their stock with
fresh goods, although many of them have quite a
supply carried over from last season. Produe.

The Credit MObilier. Evening Session
Debate to Come.

The crowd in attendance during the afier-
noon took little time for dinner, q large num-
Der not leaving the building at all, and before
half past seven O'Clock the galleries and floor
we're overlooking again. About one fifth Of
the members were absent. and ladies were
admitted TO all the vacant chairs, 50 that the
evening scene was more like an opera audi
ence than legislative body. Mr.. McCresry
occupied nearly two hours in 3 we'll directed
defence of the committees report. During
its delivery there was a constant caucusing
ing between the other members of the com.
mittee and those who are expected to support
them, as we'll as among the leaders Of the op.
position. Some twenty -names are already on
the Speakers list for speeches, and the indi-
cations are that the matter cannot be dispos-
ed of to morrow unless there 10 very late
evening session. The speeches of Banks.
Butler, Voorhees, and Randall are awaited
with great interest
! Up to half past ten the festure Of the eve
ming session had been speech by ex-Govcrn-
! or Hawley of Connecticut. 1t commanded
closest attention sad was a pointed, forcible.
! common sense presentation Of tie matter in
hand At the most earnest portion OF the
speech, Mr.. Cox interrupted to ask If be
! (IIawley) did not stand up during the CAM
| paign, and in the presence of the Vice Pres
| ident elect deny all connection OF the latter
with the credi. mobiier. There was a deep
silence to hear the answer General Hawley
did not finch for an instant from the awk-
wardness of the situation, but replied that he
made the denial upon the authority, In good
faith, and with full belief in its trnthfulness
and if the evidence did not bear out the
statement in his speech, it was no fault Of his.
Governor Hawley was repeatedly applaudsd
by the galleries in spite of the Speaker, and
was warmly congratulated by many members
az the close.
Messrs. Bingham, Garfield and Kelley have
prepared speeches, some on the general sub
iects and some in self defence. Dir. Dawes
has speech ready in case he is attacked.
The enect of the debate on the situation 10
plainly against the Poland report and its res
olutions, aud there is now no expectation
that either can be carried in their present
shape. Others of the ablest members on
each side of the House will oppose the report
and there is no apparent source from which IL
can secure an adequate answer and defence.

Col. Shaw Of x oxford Democrat, while
in Augusta week or two ago, looked into
the shoe factory, and thus speaks Of il and its
enterprising owner;
While in Augusta, we visited 'S.acyville,"
a tract of land just back of the Augusta
House, which Hon. G. G. Stacy, (foimerly of
Porter has, by his energy, made smart and
thriving community. He has expended about
100000 in erecting shoe factory, boarding
house, and small tenements, some of which
pay 90 per cent of the COST annually. The
Shoe factory is leased by Mr.. j. r. Donahue,
Of Lynn, Mass, q practical workman, who
has in his employ over a hundred hands, most
ly girls. The work is ladies' serge shoes.
The paper boxes and cases are also made in
the same building. Mr.. Stacy leases the
building for ten years, and gives the rent free
for the first year. Augusta hardly appreci-
ates Mr.. Stacy's little enterprise, as the great
Sprague investment overshadows everything.
Most OF the laborers employed in the shoe
factory live in town. The girls make from
five to eight dollars a week, and the men from
fourteen to twenty dollars-all working by
the piece.
