NEW IiAMpSEIIEE.

Portsmouth. 8. At the republican caucus
this evening, Frank W. Miller wrs nomin-
ated for Mayor, receiving $50 votes out OF
652 thrown. He was defeated last year in
the election by one vote. New castle at the
election of town officers to-day went unan;-
mously for the republicans.
Concord, 3. Tie present political cam
paign is the quietest ever known here.
Throughout the State there is no excitement
whatever, and but little enthusiasm. The
State central committee feel content
that they will elect Gen. McCutchins by a
small majority, though they admit that it is
possible that that there may be no election by
the people. Their canvass is complete for
two hundred towns, and is about the same as
that of last year. The chairman Of the COM
mttee claims that they will carry all the
Senatorial Districts but three, giving the
democrats numbers ten and eleven and de-
teating an election in number six He also
claims a majority for the House.

The Friends stiiI Mt Work

AS the winter draws to a close, the Society
of Friends are redoubling their labors. A
protracted meeting of eight days duration
closed on the 9th, under the ministry of Bro
Wethcrald of Canada, Bro. Eli Jones Of Diri-
go, Mrs. Il. Evans of China, Miss NJ. A. Gift
ford of Sidney, and an able body of the unor.
daincd or lay ministers. The meeting was
crowned with blessing. Bro. Jones and other
devoted laborers, including the ladies named,
have carried the standard of the cross to
East Readfeld, and on Saturday and Sunday
were engaged in proclaiming in the Methodist
church (the oldest in Maine) the glorious It'd
ings of Saviours love. Monday evening a
prayer meeting of remarkable power and re-
suits was held at East Read feld-many dead
members brought to life and new aecessi ons
to the church of Christ. The Friends would
acknowledge with gratitude the cordial well
come and aid of their Methodist brethren who
invited them to the work. God has heard
and answered prayer. The work will be
prosecuted in Manchester, Vienna and Read
field until Friday, the 9Th inst, when a series
of meetings will commence Cd. W at
Friends meeting house in Sidney, extending
over the Sabbath The citizens of eastern
kennebec are most cordially invited to at
tend and the presence of live Christian CO.
workers solicited. In event of Friends
house being too small for the meetings, we
are informed the union house at Sidney Cen
tire will, as on former occasions, be kindly
granted. JUvERNA.
