JAMES McHENRY, man largely interest
ed in railway affairs, has written a letter to
the finance committee of the Erie railroad, in
which he argues that general reduction of
the rates Of passenger tariffs on railroads
would be productive of a greatly increased
amount of travel, and consequently of profit
to the carriers. He sees no reason why, if a
railroad can carry a hundred pounds of beef
from Chicago to New York for ifty-fve cents
it should charge six dollars for carrying a
man the same distance. He favors the es-
Enlistment of three tariffs, for first, second
and third class passengers, though he very
justly remarks that 1--WE have no first-class
passenger traffic because those who should
pay for the best accommodation generally
manage to travel free; the only paying pas
sengers being those few citizens who have
no acquaintance with directors" In support
of his views he adduces English experience
since the passage Of the Gladstone cheap pas
sage bill, the increase in passenger receipts
since 1867 being IS per cent. with very
small increase of mileage.

| Yesterday afternoon the National Temper
ance Camp Meeting opened at Old Orchard in
the beautiful grove which the Methodists OF
Maine have selected for their weeks of sum-
mer worship. The attendance was not large
there probably not being more than a
thousand people seated in the spacious audito-

The meeting is held, it will be remembered,
| under the auspices of the New England Re-
| formed Mems Association, Mr.. J. Horace Kent
of Portsmouth, N. H., the president of the as
ISOLATION, therefore fittingly opened the exer-
| clses and organized the meeting. The exercises
OF the day, after the formal opening and the
welcoming address of Gov. Dingey, consisted
OF short pity speeches, eloquent and heart stir
ring appeals, fervent exhortations and prayers,
and the singing of religious hymns and temper
ance songs.
The meeting is emphatically Christian as
well as temperance movement, and the great
truth which inspires the earnest men gathered
| under the pines at Old Orchard is the father.
hood of God and the brotherhood of man.
A few minutes before thee o'clock yesterday
afternoon the exercises in the grove commenced.
| Mr.. j. Horace Kent of Portsmouth, N. H.,
President of the Reformed Mems Association of
New England, stepped to the speakers stand,
and formally opened the meeting. He gave an

here, he said, for weeks Interchange of
thought on the subject of temperance, and to
give, if possible, an increased energy and new
impetus to the great cause in which so many
throughout the country are now engaged. He
then called upon Rev. Mr.. Luce to open the
meeting with prayer. The prayer was followed
by singing of the Doxology.
Mr. Kent explained that being obliged to
leave the grounds very soon he would appoint
committee to take general charge of matters
during the week. The following committee
were appointed; Francis Murphy of Portland;
Samuel G. Knights of Cambrdgeport, Mass. !;

Loss OF LIFE.-Onr correspondent "W. F.
NJ" writes from Cape Porpoise, Kennebunk-
port, Sept. Sth, that skipper John Tanner of
place, owned nice fishing craft named May
Belle, and did profitable business, with two
of his sons for crew. While setting his travis
just at nghtfall yesterday, he left his son John
to Jog the boat and went with the other lad in
dory with the nets. The boat was last seen
standing toward the shore, but in vain the faith
er looked through the darkness for her return.
This morning fragments of the wrecked boat
were found among the lodges near Timber Is
land, and it is uncertain what accident occa-
stoned the disaster and death, as the boy was
unusually active, and though but fourteen years
of age, had most skilfully managed the craft
for two seasons
