On motion of Rev. Mr.. Buck, all ministers

ed to participate in the afternoon discussion.
The motion was subsequently amended so as to
include laymen.
The Rev. Mr.. Shipper was called upon to ad-
dress the convention. He did so in some elo-
quent, fresh and vigorous remarks in the vein
of the two essays which had been read.
The Rev. Mr.. Longfellow was called for, and
replied by endorsing many of the sentiments
which had been uttered.
Dr.. Nichols then read the recommendation Of
Houlton $780, at Watervile 5000, at Presque

if the society raise $500 towards the pastors
salary. Total about $1,000. The report of the
| Committee was accepted.
Mr.. Nichols said that at Saratoga the dele
gates pledged their respective societies for GER
tain amounts. He pledged his society for $lOO,
double the amount paid last year.
Rev. Mr.. Phelan asked whether the items of
the report were debatable. He could only feel
that the state OF things at Augusta was doubt
full indeed. He did not see the use of sending
$500 to Augusta.

followed.

LITTLE BOY SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN POISONED
BY EATING FIsH-wHRRE ARE THE potato Buos
On Friday. September 25th, little three year
old son OF William Pierce al Wooddale, on the
W. Il W. r. r., was taken suddenly i'll, with yio-
lent vomiting and swelling of the stomach,
which threw it into spasms After "a hours of
the most intense suffering, the child died and
was buried the following Sunday. At
the same time the father, mother,
and two other children were moro or less affect
ed in a similar manner, which made the family
and neighbors think that they must have got
some kind of poison mixed up with their food
They could think of nothing but mess of eels
that had been caught in Red Clay creek and of
which they had all partaken, and on which they
were disposed to lay the blame, an opinion we
are informed that DIR. Southern Chandler the
physician in the case agreed with.
In opposition to this, however, is the fact that
two other families, in one of which were two
boarders, had also eaten heartily of the eels
caught at the same time, and were not in the
least affected.
Another opinion which is now generally be-
lieved amongst the neighbors is that the child
had been playing with poisonous plant called
night-shade, and picked some of the red ber-
reries which had got somehow mixed up in the
victuals In relation to eels being poisonous it is
proper to state that the potato bugs have entirely
disappeared, and cannot be found we are
told even by digging into the ground,
but strange as It may appear large
numbers of them have been found
in the inside of fsh caught In Red Clay Creek,
but we have not heard that any OF them were
found in the cells referred to. The bugs being
poisonous, it is thought by some might affect
the fish in such manner as to be very injuri-
GUS to the health of those who eat them. Al
though the case is q mysterious one, and one
which should be thoroughly investigated. The
poisonous nature of the potato bug is we'll known
