buildings to some extent, so that they were
taken down and removed beyond the reach of

was clear nearly down to the point, where the

the up river ice comes down with rush, we
shall probably have no further trouble this
season.
DR.. Brickett and Mr.. Fogg were promptly
on time for the temperance meeting on Sun

that the hall was not lighted; so the speakers
returned to Augusta, proposing to fill their
engagement at some other time, when the
elements are more propitious. Riding from
Augusta to this city and back on such night,
with mud and slosh so unfathomable, evinced
moral courage and stubborn perseverance of

Fast day service will be held in the South
Congregational church in this city on Thurs

Notice has been given of prayer meeting

at half past seven o'clock. All are invited to
attend.
