Mrs. Livermore's Lecture.


WATERvILLE, Oct. 3, 1874.
DEAR JOURNAL The first lecture in our
course was delivered Friday evening, Oct. 2,
at the Baptist church, by Mrs. NJ. A. Liver
more of Boston.
Her subject was "Concerning Husbands
at least, SO we were told-but when we lis
tened to the lecture, we became convinced
that the real subject was "The Superiority 0:
Women
The house was we'll filed, although the
evening was unfavorable.
Mrs. l.. held the attention of the audience
for an hour and a half, speaking without
notes.
The lecture was nearly as follows: The
speaker began by giving an account OF mar
risge, as it existed among the ancients.
Man advanced step by step. until the ma
tons saw that marriage was the union OF one
man with one wife. In the olden times of
rude civilization, wives occupied low and
| servile position.
They were under everlasting tutelage, as
mere children, not being allowed to enter into
society or even to sit at table with their hus-
bands, while courtezans, educated and beau
tiful, received the regards and affection of
these lords of creation.
| Woman as . class stood low.
| In the new civilization, or at the beginrin
| of the Christian era, woman was exalted. No
man was worthy to be the father of Christ, but
| his mother was woman.
Ever after this, woman was held in higher
esteem.
| In former times oman was not allowed to
hold land, but owing to the efforts Of the
clergy this right was at last accorded to her
| Women should not be criticised for their
| devotion to the clergy, as they owe much to
| them.
The bible says "wivess obey your hus-
| bands" but husbands must love and cherish
| their wives.
| There is as much need of training cur boys
as our girls, and perhaps siore.
| If husbands would give their wives less
money and more love and sympathy, how
much less misery there would be in the
world! The speaker mentioned with pride
the American husband and thanked God that
he was not like those of old.
| She spoke in the strongest terms of abhor-
renee of the doctrine of free love, saying that
| free love and free divorce go hand in hand.

The Later Season Mt Squirrel Islamd-E1-
element in Mackerel Catching.
Those who left Squirrel Island the middle
of August or the first of September, lost the
best part Of the feast. For the last six weeks
the weather has been magnificent on the is
land-not particle of fog or rain, or a
br cath of gale the atmosphere has been clear
and warm, with just breeze enough to soften
the rays of the sun from q clear sky. The
few who remained found the island almost a
Paradise; and then there we're oceans" Of
mackerel, the harbor being literally full Of
them. One day recently Ave hundred mack
eral vessels were counted 10 the harbor and
adjacent waters. One seine full, secured near
the "Cuckles," brought in two hundred bar
rels of nice fat fellows. Go out in a boat,
near the shore and you would be likely to run
into "school' that would furnish rare sport,
enabling you to fill your boat in short time.
Experts in the business made the handsome
thing, while even amateurs we're enabled to
secure goodly store for winters use. On
Friday, the mackerel were showing them
selves lively in the vicinity of Pemaquid,
where the scientific fisherman were operating.
Twelve dwellings or cottages have been
erected on the island the past season. Before
the rise on lots or in contempla ton of the RISE
alarge number of the most available lots were
disposed of to persons who will either build
themselves, the next season, or sell to parties
who will build. The Association has from
one thousand to fifteen hundred dollars in it's
treasury, and its prospects were never bright
ter, and it is an established fact that the is
land has become popula. summer resort.

Thanksgiving Proclamation.

We are reminded by the changing seasons
it is time to pause in our daily avocations, and
offer lhanss to Almighty God for the mercies
and abundance Of the year which is drawing to
n close.
The blessings of free government con-
tiuue to be vouchsaied to US, the earth has re-
sponded 10 the labor of the husbandman, the
land has been free from pestilence, internal or
der is being maintained, and peace with other
Powers has prevailed.
Ii is fitting that at stated periods we should
cease from our accustomed pursuits and from
the turmoil of our daily lives, and united in
thank illness for the blessings Of the past, and
in the cultivation Of kindly feelings towards
each other.
Now Therefore, recognizing these considera-
tious, |, Ulysses 5. Grant, President Of the
United States DO recommend to all citizens to
assemble in their respective places Of worship,
on Thursday, the Goth day of November next,
and express their thanks for the mercy aud
favor Of Almighty God, and laying aside oil
political contentious aud all secular occupa-
tons to observe such day as day Of rest,
Thanksgiving and praise.

the margin of woods near the town. while
the girl was proceeding on an errand for her
mother Groves was lying 10 ambush at the
time and suddenly assaulted his victim
When the story was made known throughout
the village the greatest excitement prevailed.
A crowd Of twenty-five men gathered and de-
cided upon seeking out Groves and giving him
summary justice They proceeded in Z body
I'D the mountain near the town, and captured
him in the woods, They then took Lin down
between two Of the lofty hills. In that lonely

him. which was that be should die His eyes
