Nallomell local Mems.

Members Of the Hallowell Young Mems
Christian Association are making an effort to
secure the room over the Post Office for the
uses of the Association. During the past
year free Reading Room has been maintained
here by Mr.. Strout, who feels that it does not
belong to him longer to continue it. The
Association has long felt the urgent need of
place which might be to it home and centre
of operations. The apartment in view Is adj
mirably adapted to the purpose, being COM
modious and central, while provided with all
necessary furnishings which the former lessee
generously offers to place at the service Of
the Association.
The free Reading Room will be maintained
with such improvements as can be added.
To carry out the project it is necessary to Sc
cure the sum of two hundred and fifty dollars.
1t is proposed to divide this amount into
shares of five dollars each, which the citizens
gen orally will be invited to take. Every share
will give the holder vote upon all questions
relating to the Reading Room. 1t is to be
hoped that there will be ready response to
the applications for aid in this enterprise.
The Association is engaged in work which
should interest not only every christian
man, but every friend of morality and good
order. 1t ought not to lack the necessary
equipment. A good reading room, open to
the public may be not only convenience but
powerful auxiliary in the promotion Of
morals. 1t offers place of profitable resort
to those who would Otherwise spend their
! evenings upon the street or in haunts Of vice.
We hope therefore that our citizens will show
wise liberality in subscribing toward the
expense of this undertaking.
We learn that the wife of Mr.. Oscar Lord
of this city was thrown from carriage, neal
the whiting mill, on Monday afternoon last
receiving severe injuries, though no bonei
were broken. A child in her arms escaped
without material injury.

April the First.

April the First.
This being the frst day of April, there are
many things that individuals must take par
ticular pains to avoid. A nice package on
the sidewalk may attract your attention.
Don't pick it up, fer several concealed urchins
are waiting for you to do so before shouting
"April fool!" Don't kick tspitefuly, be-
cause it may contain brick, and cause your
toes to Jingle. Wallets are liable to lie
around loose to-day, but their contents won't
add materially to ones riches. Attention
will be called often to rents in the coat or hat
aud other personal irregularities, that exist
only in the imagination of the unregenerate
ioolist. The way on every hand will be beset
with dangers to-day, and there is no security
even at home. At the table you are apt to
lift dishes that are full of emptiness to tauta-
lize the appetite and call 70 nth the unanimous
"April fool" from the members of your
household. So the only safe way is to remain
entirely oblivious to passing events during
the day dedicated to All-Foos.

Issued General Orders, No. ., giving in a

that the Grand Army has no concealed pur-
pose. that it aims only to maintain the mutual
brotherly regard and the intense love OF coun-
trv that animated the defenders of the Union,
and to preserve the memories Of the days OF
the great struggle, by means of simple, eco

The ptf. stopped a: eleven O'Clock. and Mr..

case is developed now, it would seem that
the bark about which the parties are contend
ing, is claimed by the ptf. as q pledge from

note for $3.50 signed by him as surety. In
defence it is said there was no such pledge
given; that nothing of the kind was ever
heard of until after said Hern's death; and
then, his estate being insolvent, the pitt. to
save himself invented this scheme to hold the
bark, upon grounds wholly fictitious, and in
fraud of the rights of the true owner. The
