In a lecture given in Portland, Sunday
evening, Dr.. r. S. Lambard of New York,
said that alcohol alone is responsible for the
evil wrought by ferEiented or distilled liquors.
He said that seventy-6ve per cent. of the
population of the country, being women and
children, were non producers. OF the TWEEN
ty-fve per cent. remaining ten per cent. were
idlers, and five per cent were occupied IN
producing alcoholic liquors and tobacco. So
only ten per cent. of the entire population are
producers of real values. Ifthe alcohol and
tobacco producers could be turned into pro-
ducers OF real values it would vastly increase
the valuable products of the country. In
conclusion he showed that The use of alcoholic
beverages shortened life.

Rev. Mr.. Peckham commences a series of
religious meetings at NE Freewill Baptist
church in this city on Tuesday afternoon
March 81, to continue afternoon and evening
during the week. Other societies are invited
to participate in the exercises so as to render
| the movement one of united interest.
The house of Capt A. Rich of Farming
dale came near destruction by fire on We'd
| nesday last; but by the prompt assistance of a
| score or two of men working on the ice in the
immediate vicinity, the fire was subdued, but
not until considerable damage was done to
the premises.
Religious services are held at the new
| school house at the quarres every Sabbath,
day and evening, and the people in the vicin-
ity fill the house to its utmost capacity.
There were about one hundred in attendance
on Sabbath evening last, and the interest
manifested was truly encouraging.
We hear it rumored that the station build
ings of the Maine Central Railroad in this

A Liberal supply of gravel has been hauled
during tn past winter tor use upon our streets
and sidewalks this season. For use on the

Nelson lot, while that for the streets OF the
city proper, was taken from the city lot or
the eastern side of the river. The quarry
road was never in better condition than at
present, owing to the thorough and faithful
work performed upon it last season. A com
paratively small expenditure this year will
render it as nearly perfect as could reasonably
be expected; while for the future ordinary
repairs will be the only requisite
The ice has worked down silently and quiet

away, assuring us of open navigation in few
