THE GREAT MIDLAND RAILROAD Now NEARLY

COMPLETED.
We offer the remainder of the First Mortgage
Seven Per Cent Gold Bonds limited 10000 to the
mile to close out the loan.
A LONG STRETCH OF ROAD. INCLUDING THE NKw-
JERSEY SECTION Is FINISHED, AND TRAINS ARE NOW
RUNNING INTO JERSEY Cry. From Oswego east
ward THE ROAD Is IN SUCCESSFUL OPERATION for
long distance. A short gap in the construction of
the New-York division alone prevents RUNNING
THROUGH FROM NKw-YoRF 70 OswRGO. On the in
complete section the masonry and grading are hn-
ished. and ballasting and track-aying progressing
with the utmost energy. aud we hope soon to an
nounce THE COMPLETION OF THE ENTIRE ROAD OF
THIS GREAT TRUNK LINE FROM NEw-YORK TO Os-

These Bonds, in our judgment possess in marked
degree the elements of
ABSOLUTE SECURITY AND LIBERAL INCOME.

shown great valor in time of peace, as we'll
as IN time of war, and who was man of
deeds, not words" He took it upon him
self to respond to the serenade, and in behalf
OF his distinguished guest whom he was proud
to entertain, he thanked the people for their
agreeable demonstration.

Putting Down Rebellion.

When the stomach rebels against food and ob,ti-
nately refuses TO digest sufficient alment to keep
the body we'll nourished, il can only be compelled
to resume its natural duties by wholesome tonic.
The wonderful alkaloids often adminise for
this purpose are not wholesome. They are, for the
most part, deadly poisons, and even when taken in
very small quantities. react violently upon the
vous system. Not so Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
This salutary combination of vegetable juices, en-
bracing the finest invigorants and alternatives
which the botanical kingdom affords, operates
mildly, steadily and benefcaly upon the digestive,
secretve and dischargng organs. In dyspepsia,
ievers, chronic constipation bodily weakness,
tai depression, languor, sleepessness, and the va
rious disabilities incident to old age and premature
decay, its effects are wonderful that to be com.
pretended they must be witnessed or experienced.

Campmeeting at Richmond.

Monday afternoon a sermon was preached
by Rev. c. A. King, formerly of your city,
now of Nebraska. His sermon was upon the
Presence of Christ. ''Where two or three
are gathered in His name" &C. twas very
plain and faithful presentation of his theme,
and produced very powerful effect upon the
audience. Bro. King is too well known in
Maine to need any description from me. Two
years since he believed it to be his duty to go
to the Nebraska Conference and has been very
useful in the far west. His visit to his friends
| in the east is mutually agreeable to nself
| and them. 1t is very pleasant to look upon
his sunny face again. There was at the close
| of the sermon powerful prayer meeting, in
which large numbers presented themselves as
| subjects of prayer. Many obtained the evil
dence that they were entirely the Lords.
Rev. c. B. Pitblado of Congress Street
church Portland, preached a most unique yet
eloquent and powerful sermon. The Rev.
gentleman is peculiar to himse No one is
| or can be like him, Earnest pious, eloquent.
yet in these traits he is Just like Pitblado and
| no one else. Coming to Portland from the
! Province of New Brunswick, he is kindly and
| cordially received by his brethren here.
Methodist minister is at once at home in the
Methodist church, wherever ii may be sit.
| uated.
Tuesday morning meetings, both at $50
| and clock, were unusually profitable.
AT 10 o'clock, the sermon was by Rev. VIM.
Mcdonald, Vice Pre- sident of the National
Association for the promotion of Christian
Holiness. 1t was a clear and full yndication
of the doctrine OF Christian purity as held by
/ the Methodist denomination. Much good it
is believed will result from this sermon.
The Estate Association for the promotion
of Holiness" held their annual meeting to-day
at one o'clock, when it was voted to hold
meeting in the interest of this subject, on this
ground. next August. The following persons
, were elected officers of the Association for
the ensuing year: Rev. Geo. Pratt, Presi-
dent; Rev. &. Manger, Vice President; ]. b.
Lapham. Secretary; and an Executive Com
mittee of six from the Maine, and six from
East Maine Conferences. The arrangements
for such a meeting, as far as they could he
| at this early hour. were made.
| In the forenoon a call was made upon the
audience for collection towards paying the
| floating debt against the Kennebec Valley
Camp Meeting Association; when nearly
| four hundred dollars were raised for that pur-
| pose. The meeting will close Wednesday
evening. REPORTER.

An excursion and picnic to East Winthrop
will be INDUCED in by the Congregational
Sabbath school and society of this city, Thurs
day next. From East Winthrop the excursion
party will proceed to one of the beautiful
islands in Cobbossee Contee Pond, where
accompaniment will be the order of the day
Should the weather prove favorable, this will
be one of the most delightful trips of the sea
son, much preferable, especially for children,
to long steamboat or railroad excursions, which
are attended oftentimes with dangers and de-
lays innumerable. Should the weather be
stormy on Thursday, the excursion will be
postponed to the day following.
Our Post Master has just added new case
of glass boxes to the capacity of the office, to
meet the increased demands of the public.
One Of our Oldest and most respected for
eign born citizens, Mr.. Edward Fitzgerald,
died quite suddenly, of cholera morbus. on
Monday last, at the good old age of seventy
or upwards. He has been in the employ of
the Hallowell Cotton Manufacturing Compa-
ny for many years, and has always exhibited
rare traits Of honesty and fathfuness; his
pleasant face and cordial greetings will be
sadly missed by the employers of that corpor-
alton as well as by the community generally.
He had, perhaps, as many friends and few
enemies as any man of his class; and al
though not entirely without faults and fail
ngs, he still maintained general reputation,
so far as we know, above reproach. Notwith-
standing the many and severe trials through
which he has passed, he always exhibited a
degree of resignation and buoyancy of spirits
truly remarkable. Many will drop a sympa-
thizng tear over the grave of seood old
Uncle Ned" as he was Familiarity called by
his friends and associates
Everybody with their wives, children and
friends, have been to campmeeting more or
less for the past week. The attendance is
said to have been greater than ever before.
An enchanting serenade by Gardiner
friends was highly enjoyed by our enraptured
listeners on Friday evening last. One can
well rejoice at being awakened during the
''witching hours of night" to listen to such
divine harmony from well trained voices.
The doctors affirm that it is dis,ressingly
healthy in this city at the present time, and
in fact at all times consequent either to the
peculiar healthiness of the locality, the So
briefly of the people, or the limited number Of
the medical profession. Perhaps all three of
the above causes, with some others added,
may satisfactorily account for our favorable
sanitary condition.
