The state of Maine has reason to be congrat-

| James L. BiXby. His recent articles in the
| Unitarian Review on the parallel between
! scientific and religious thought, would do honor
to any Protestant clergyman, even of the ripest
| Years. In these articles this Young clergyman
does for religion IN general much the same ser
vice as that done by Bishop Butler for the
Christian religion in particular; he demon
! strates that every objection which can be
brought against faith in God, and in the soul as
| the offspring of God, by modern scepticism
| can be brought equally well against the clearest
| and most firmly established doctrine Of modern
| science.
| MASKED BALL. The ball gwen by the Wash

very nice affair, but was not, in richness and
variety of costume, up to previous occasions Of

present, in mask and the spectators seats Were
well filled. Chambers Portland Band dis

resenting the lobster, having regular claws that

| pearance, as Castine lighthouse; his suit Of
| white canvass, supported by hoops, represented
| the lighthouse tower, surmounted by lighted
| lantern. On the tower appeared the words
"Only (n)ice time Eve had for 30 years to 60

| POLICE COURT. Several persons were be-

company. Waterman has recently been en-
| ployed to watch the fuel, and on his report
| Frank Z. Tozier, Edmund Stevens and Lucy
| Darby were arraigned. The Waterman, Solo
| mon McFarand as appeared from his testi-
mony, had instructions to see who took wood,
| and this he did not construe that he should
prevent them. So he looked on, and in the
case Of Tozier extended his coMplaisance to
| helping him load up the wood, The court ac-
quilted ToZier. Mrs. Darby was let off, as no
| evidence against her was brought out. But
| Stevens, who wooded up on different plan

| LINCOLNvILLE. The extremely cold wealth
err makes quite stagnation in business. Hard
| times and cold weather make many look blue
| and feel cross. There is considerable complaint
| about cold cellars, frozen potatoes, apples, &C.,
and people appear to be less pious than in
warmer weather. There has been an unusual
number of deaths in town within the last six
weeks, mostly among the older class of people.

less lime there is burned the better it will be,
probably, for those concerned, unless the
market shall be better than it was the past
year. AT present the ''signs of the tines
are not encouraging.
