Ferry Village.

Rev. Mr. Bicknell of Portland delivered the
third lecture of the Association course, at the
NJ. L. church, on last Friday evening. His
subject, Enthusiasm" was treated in schol-
arly manner. According to his showing, en-
thusiasm is the lever which sets in motion and
moves all the vast and ponderous machinery of
the commercial and religious worlds. History
and biography were ably used to verify this
bold assertion. The speaker was listened to
with marked attention by as attentive and in
tellectual an audience as ever convened in this
village. The "Union Brass Band" under their
new leader and conductor, rendered some ex-
cellent music and were heartily encored.
Hon. Israel Washburn, Jr., will deliver the
fourth lecture on Friday evening. Jan. II.

OUR RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.
Emancipation TO be Carried Out us Fast
as Possible.


NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-The Herald's Wash
ington dispatch says the Spanish Minister states
that the misunderstanding referred to in Sacre-
tary Fish's letter to Gen. Sckes of Oct. 29th,
has been removed, ard the relations between
the two governments are quite friendly. The
system of gradual emancipation, adopted by
Spain, has already released $4,000 slaves in
Cuba, and that law is being faithfully carried
out. .. ...t s
The Times Washington dispatch states that
the reply OF the Spanish government to Secre-
tary Fish's note:w courteous, and gave as
surance that the friendly relations shall not be
interrupted. The party now in power in Spain
believed itself strong enough to procure a poll
cy OF emancipation, and DUR government is as
sured that every effort to that end will be made
and that the policy will be enforced in Cuba as
fast as the pacification on that island is accom-
plshed. One result of our remonstrance has
been an order restoring one of the estates seized
by the Spanish authorities in Cuba The cor
respondence has been quite vigorous since No
vember 1st, mainly by telegraph.
The Heralds Washington despatch says that
Secretary Fish yesterday stated that no such
letter as that printed in yesterdays Washing
ton dispatches to the Associated Press, relative
to Spain and Cuba, was ever sent by him to the
American Minister at Madrid.
In relation to the above it is only necessary
to state that the whole official document as
furnished by the Secretary of State to the As
ISOLATED Press in printed form, is available to
the public, and the copy so furnished is in the
possession of j. w. Simonton, General Agent.
