Beecher. Third Series. New York: j. B. Ford
& Co. Portland: Hoyt s. Fogg. I'D
This volume, made up from Photographic
reports of Mr., Beecher's lectures before the
divinity classes at Yale, contains twelve lee
lures on the main theme of Functional Theo-
logy as distinguished from Structural Theology.
The lectures are permeated with the beautiful
religious spirit of Mr.. Beecher and lead the
reader to purer thought, better feeling and
higher ideals. The advice to the embryo
ministers is direct, plain and practical and is
couched in the intensely vitalized language
characteristic of the author. The lectures
furnish fascinating reading to the layman and
are ofa thoroughly good tendency. The pub
lication of them is real blessing to the COM
munity and we heartily urge upon every
body to read the book, in the full assurance
that both intellectual and spiritual edification
will result.

+ The afternoon exercises were opened by a
paper on THE Dignity of Labor" from Hon.
W. Percival of Vassalboro'.
contempt for honest labor creates a spu.
rious aristocracy and leads to vice, Parents
and teachers are responsible for implanting
false views on the subject The example OF
the Creator and his providence, shows his
views OF the dignity of labor Educated, in-
telligent and refined labor is always disni6ed.
Mr.. ID. NJ. Durham of Bangor followed with
paper on Farmers Experiments" On ac-
count OF their expense they are and should be
undertaken by the government The State COL
I lese ought to be also an experiment station"
and liberally endowed, and the results hould be
published throughout the state for the benefit
of farmers, thereby saving them expense, and
also giving them SO much capital to work with.
Mr.. j. r. Harrington, the College Farm Su-
perintendent in reply to inquiries, said he had
used seed drill some the present season; it
sowed evenly and covered the seed. Used it for
wheat, grass seed, corn, beans and fertilizers.
Wheat in drills ripened without cultivation
week earlier than that sown broadcast. The
former also took bushel and half less seed
to the acre. The broadcast yielded 351 bushels,
and the drill 81 bushels at the harvest. Was
not quite satisfied with the experiment, but be-
lieved in the drill system.
Found that in fattening swine on raw meal
more pork was produced than by using cooked
food. Trusted that the people of the state
would not be inpatient; some experiments re-
quired time. ..
Prof Law, of Cornell University, gave lee
ture in the evening on some of the"Diseasee of
Horses" One on the previous evening, not
before mentioned, treated of "Bone Diseases
On account of his eminence in the depart
ment of veterinary surgery. he has been invited
to give course of lectures to the college stu
dents.
Hon. s. Wasson gave the concluding paper
of the session on ''Mutton Raising" The val
liable array of statistics, the thoughtful sugges
tions. the sharp criticisms and the profound
faith in the subject all evinced earnest and Ia
borlous preparation. The undue length of this
article prevents further notice Of the paper.
Hon. III. Belcher of Pennington, in his usual
felicitous style, proposed vote of thanks to the
citizens of Orono for their unwearied attention
and courteous hospitality.
TIE e. & N. A. Railroad were thanked for
their liberality in granting free return tickets
Considerable dissatisfaction was expressed in
private at the refusal of the Maine Central
Railroad to grant similar courtesy-never be.
fore declined. Would it not be well for the
managers of this road to remember that the
members of this board are working without
compensation, to promote that great interest
upon whose prosperity their own profits depend?
The absence of Messrs. Payson of Cumber-
land, and Doe of York, was much regretted.

The CREMATION OF LADY DnLKE.-The
burning took place at Dresden, the 10th inst. :,
in the patent furnace of Herr Siemens, and a
large number of curious and scientific strangers
were present at the ceremony. Herr Siemans
asked the company to offer a mental PRAYER,
and then they beheld the fascinating process.
