FRATERNITY ENTERTAINMENT.-Theg rand
entertainment in aid of this most worthy chari-
table enterprise. given at City Hall last even
ing, was more literally patro9plzed tnan any OF
the kind which has been attempted this WIZ
ter. The entertainment consisted OF dancing,
the music for which was furnished by Chan-
dler's excellent quadrille band, an elegant and
substantial supper, furnished in the reception
rom and the sale of flowers, lemonade, fancy
articles. ETC. The hall was very tastefully dec
grated with festoons of white and red, flags.
and appropriate notices; the general pleasing
effect was greatly heightened by the booths,
which were arranged under the galleries in the
main hall. The flower booth was partiularly
worthy of notice; it was situated under the gal
lery directly opposite the main entrance, and
was composed of three arches of evergreen
trimmed with bright autumn leaves Unlike
last year, the supply of flowers on this occasion
was plentiful, Boston greenhouses having been
laid under contribution. During the whole
evening this flower booth was centre of at
traction to the young men; but we were unable
to discover whether they were attracted most
by their interest in botanical studies, or by
their interest in the pretty and obliging ex-
FOUNDERS of this absrruse subject with whom
the booth was filled.
Another interesting feature of the entertain
ment was the art gallery, which was arranged
by Mr.. VIM. L. Bradley. The portraits of Hon.
G. f. Talbot and Judge Goddard DIS repre-
sented by pair of suspenders. was very life
like, as was piece of old cheese entitled 'The
Shippers Home '"The Captives," as repre-
scented by pair of lady's rats in a rat-trap, was
also very affecting. The dancing commenced
at eight o'clock and was kept until late hour.
There were were probably between seven and
eight hundred people in the hall during the
evening, 450 tickets being sold at the door
alone The entertainment was decided sue

MR. EDITOR Let us site a case: A relig-
ious society pays the pastor from three to four
thousand dollars a year, the music costs two
thousand, and the other expenses, say, fifteen
hundred dollars. Heretofore one Sabbath in
each month has been designated for collections
in aid of the various charitable works recogniz-
ed by the church and the people, and very fair
and even liberal contributions have always been
made. But it has been voted that contribu-
ton be taken every Sabbath, and the proceeds
be divided among the various missionary works
and local charities-the larger portion going to
theafOrmer. And SO, in addition to the heavy
tax laid upon the occupants of the pews to sup
port the regular work.. every blessed Sabbath
morning sees the boxes passed round the mo-
ment the long prayer is ended. l will not
deny it seems out of place and even harsh to
me. They call it systematic" giving, and
claim that the discipline will be excellent. But
with the ways and wants of the people around
us; when woman and child lie upon straw in
a corner, with one poor Quilt for covering;
when a miserable wretch is apprehended for
stealing wood, and the officers when they 90 to
arrest HIN, find his wife and little ones be-
numbed with cold; when misery and violence,
and death. are in our midst and sorrow lies up
on our hearts at the suffering we see daily and
relieve as best we can-surely such missionary
work, such giving, impulsive and not systemat-
ic though it be- will count both with God and
humanity. Will it be seriously questioned what
duty is? Will it be urged that to put our hands
into our pockets and offer gifts in the sight of
men fifty two Sabbaths of the year, for the
church machinery to dispense, is the best office
or opportunity 70 do the work of Christian
giver? But it is said: You need not give if
you do not want to. Why ask, then? Why set
in motion the solemn search for scrip every
blessed day in the midst of the holy worship?
And men do not like to hold back; nor do they
like to get up and say what only can be said in
the family or-here. l beg not to be misunder-
stood. 1 do not quarrel, and above all would
not offend; but feel that this is trying, and
wearing and wrong. Let us give, as we are
able. and as wants are felt or causes stated; but
let us not make an oppressive ceremonial of
Christian charity. LAYMAN

MATTERS in MAINF
The Lowell Murder Trial.
Arraignment Of thu Alleged Wife
Murderer.


Intense Excitement-The Case Ope ned by
the Government, etc.
LEWISTON, Feb. 10.-The trial of James M.
Lowell for the murder of his wife on June 18th
1S7O,was begun this morning in the Supreme
Court at Auburn, Judge Walton presiding
1t may be remembered that this is the some.
what romantic case which was brought TO light
by the discovery of headless skeleton in the
woods about three miles from this city IN Octo-
Der last. Lowell was arrested in Lawrence,
brought here for his preliminary examination,
and committed for trial. He has since remain
ed iii the Auburn Jail. LOWELL who is defend
ed by the Hon. E. F. Pillsbury, pleaded not
guilty. He is man of thrty-one, with heavy
black moustache and careless, indifferent
air. This morning he was perhaps the least in
terested spectator in the room.
The excitement over this trial is only second
to that which ensued upon the discovery of the
bones alleged to be those of Mrs. Lizzie Lowell.
A large crowd is in attendance at tie court
room, many ladies enduring the tedium of the
preliminary proceedings for the sake of the
coming sensation.
The prosecution is conducted by Atty Gen.
Plaisted of Bangor.
About two hours we're consumed in impan-
neling jury. Cyrus Greedy of Lewiston is
appointed foreman.
