Owing no doubt in great measure
to the very unfavorablc state Of the
weather the Concert and Ball here
on the night Of July Sd, was not
very we'll attended. The programme
was nevertheless carried out to the
letter and all present expressed their
perfect satisfaction with the affair in
every respect, and although the
managers are heavy losers they have
at least the consolation Of feeling that
they kept faith with all they had
advertised. The Band was one Of
the first in Boston, and composed of
eight Of the best musicians that city
can provide. The supper was all that
an epicure could desire, both as to
variety and excellence. About one
hundred couples were present in tue
Dali room, aud about two hundred and
seventy persons partook Of supper.

Milan.

Our nations birthday was we'll Oh
served in this place. The Milan and
Berlin Sabbath schools united with the
Cascade Lodge of Good Templars, to
celebrate the day. A beautiful grove
was selected on the East side of the
Androscoggin river, on the farm owned
by John r. Horn, of Berlin. 1t was
cleared up and put in good shape by
Mr.. Horn, at his own expense. At 10
o'clock a procession was formed about
one-fourth of mile below the ground
consisting of the Lodge of Good Ten
plars and the Sabbath schools. and
marched to the grove, led by the STRAIT
ford band. The exercises were opened
by singing; prayer was offered by
Rev. A. j. Benedict, the Declaration
If independents was read by Jesse
futile, and Fourth OF July Grafton
delivered by Rev. l.. Il. Gordon. An
intcrmission was then taken and dim
ner enjoyed that did great credit to
those who prepared it. We have new
err seen better tables than the ladies' Of
Milan and Berlin set on this occasion.
There were estimated 10 be one thou
sand people on the ground. All had
enough, and more than ''seven bas-
kets" remained. At one O'Clock the
people were again called to order.
Pieces were sung by the Sabbath
school children, and Rev. A. j. Bene-
dict addressed the Sabbath schools in
a happy manner. A. S. Twitchell. of
Gorham, spoke we'll on the subject Of
temperance Mr.. Gordon, of Gorham.
also spoke in his spicy manner on the
topic Of The day. A defamation, en-
titled "Lile's Possibilities" was well

tations by Mrs. n. G. Folsom, entl.
tied Our Returned Battle Flags, and
Mrs. l.. E. Gordon, entitled The
Drunkard's Daughter. The exercises
were cnliyened by appropriate singing
and music by the hand. The day was
a delightful one and all returned &c
their homes feeling that it was goot
for them that they had been there, ans
proud that they were American citi
