Religious Revival i'm Colorado.

DENVER, Col, March 25.-Hammond, the re-
yivalist, has been laborlng here about ten days.
Governors Guard Hall, holding about 100, has
been hiied every morning and evening, and at
some of the evening services many were I'M
able to attain admission. On Sunday evening
some of the neighboring churches were opened
to admit those turned away from the over
crowded hall. Several hundred adults as well
as youths and children have been converted
and the interest continues this week unabated
and Is perhaps increasing. The presbytery of
Colorado, in session here Saturday and Mon
day, added fifteen or twenty ministers to Ham
mond's working force. The daily newspapers
concede that much good is being accomplished
through these efforts.

To the Editor Of the Press:
At the annual towu meeting in Yarmouth
held Monday, P. n. Blanchard was elected
moderator, Richard Harding clerk, P. N, Blan-
chard, E. G. Wagg, j. NJ. Bucknam, select
men, assessors and overseers of the poor;
Charles Humphrey treasurer; D. L. Mitchell,
collector; E. Fl. Sargent, E. G. Wagg, W.
W, Thomas, superintending school committee.
The following sums were raised for the sew
eral objects designated to wit: for schools
$1,000; repairs of roads and bridges $1,000;
breaking snow $500; town accounts $500; sup
port OF the poor $3.50; contingent expenses
$500. For the payment of notes and interest
(war debit $4,000.
BY an almost unanimous vote the sum of
$4,000 was raised for a free high school. With
this sum, together with the amount we got
from the State and other sources, we hone to
run the school 36 weeks ii the year. A large
committee composed of some of the best men
in town was raised to lease or rent suitable
buildings or rooms, and make all necessary ar
engagements to put the school in operation.
1t is hoped that the schools in Yarmouth will
yet be made to rank among the best in the
SAs,Ao eo-ody WcIc encouraging.
1t may. not be amiss to say that all the town
officers elected by ballot were elected mani
mously, they being previously nominated by a
citizens caucus For several years past parties
have not entered into our town affairs. The
plan of union works exceedingly we'll an d sat-
factorily with u.s. In fifty minutes from the
opening Of the meeting Monday every officer,
from moderator to hog-reeve, was elected, and
bv three o'clock all the articles of the warrant
fourteen, were acted on, and the meeting dis
solved -one hour and half adjournment in
the meantime for dinuer. Would not this blan
OF union be worthy of trial by other towns?
The fears of some of our jealous party men,
that it might operate disastrously to the party
at our State elections have not been realized.
we have continued to throw handsome ma
Jority at every fall election since the union plan
it has been of advantage to us as party-that
we have thrown larger Republican majority
at our fall elections in consequences; but we
don't want the Democrats to know that we
think so. REPUBLICAN,.
