REsoLUrEs VS.. LIVE OAKs-On the Oath
of July the Resolutes went to Lynn and played
a game of ball with the Live Oaks of that CITY.
with what results is we'll known. They went
on conditions that the Live Oaks were to play
return game on such day as the Resolutes
should name, other than Saturday. and they
have named three different days, on all Of
which the Live Oaks have backed out Of the
agreement on various excuses, of which the
following is the latest:
LYNN, Aug 9, 1876
CHAs. A. EATON, ESQ.,,
Dear Sir,-When L wrote you last about
playing this week, it was my impression that
we had but two games this week. But our
manager had arranged four, and as our players
work for living, they cannot play more than
four games a week. and it will be impossible
for us to come to Portland this week; and as
next week we shall play four games if not Eve
in the tournament, it will be out of the cues
ton to think of that week. On the whole it is
of no use for us to think Of coming to Portland
until after the first of September.
Yours truly,
CHARLES W. COLLINS,
Secretary Live Oak b. b. G..

odist Beecher, who preached upon the 'tExal-
tation of Jesus" his discourse being founded
| upon the 9Th verse of the second chapter of
| philippians. His sermon was an impassioned
eulogy of the Saviour, coupled with an earnest
appeal to his hearers to follow His teachings.
In the midst of it he brarched off into de-
nunciation of Unitarianism, characterizing the
morality of its believers as but filthy rags in
the sight of God. This remark brought an
elderly gentleman in the audience to his feet
with the inquiry, if Mr.. Booe considered
equality and unity synonymous terms. Mr..
Boole said he did when Christ's equality with
God was referred to. A groau and "God
help" escaped from the clergy upon the plat
form, which seemed to nettle the interrogation,
who attempted to do little more questioning
when Mr.. Boole silenced him and proceeded
with his discourse
The theme he developed from the text was
the humiliation and glory of Christ The
thought the preacher made NEST prominent
was self abnegation, the condition of Christian
power and usefulness. Nearly thousand per-
sons ct the close of the sermon expressed de-
sire to be the followers of Christ. A prayer by
MI lnskip closed the exercise,
In the evening ministers experience meet
ing was held In the tabernacle, conducted by
DR.. Lowry.
The evening public service was monopolized
by President Inskip.
The attendance on the meetings of yesterday
was larger than on any preceding week day,
and oday it bids fair to be considerably aug
mented. Several clergymen arrived yesterday.
DEcBAsED.-The Hon. John 2. Hubbard of
Hiram died at his residence in that town Sum-
day morning, after lingering and painful
illness. Mr.. Hubbard was native of Cornish,
but settled in Hiram in 1S41, and since that
time has been closely identified with the his
tory of that town and of Oxford county. The
high respect and confidence in which he was
held by his townsmen and the voters of his
county is evidenced by the fact that he has held
every Office in the gift of the town, and has
repeatedly served in both branches of the
Legislature of the state He, no vever, gave
but little of his time, comparatively, to public
affairs. He was always an active business
man, and his local pride caused him to feel
great interest in all that contributed to the
welfare or adornment of the town where the
best part of his life was spent. The integrity
of his domestic character and the kindliness of
his manner caused him to be sheld in high
esteem by all who knew him. At the time of
his death he was So years old. He leaves a
wife and seven children

BE CAREEuL-Every day as the passenger
trains run through Commercial street men and
boys are continually getting off and on the cars.
Utter recklessness is too often shown in these
cases aud many accidents are the result. Yes
terday as the noon passenger train was passing
from the Grand Taunk depot two young men
attempted to jump from the train. In doing
so they forgot to grasp the railing of the car.
One of them was thrown headlong upon the
pavestones. while the other was jammed be.
tweeb passing jgger and thu cars narrowly
escaping with his life. We trust that in future
persons will be more careful when they attempt
anything of this kind.

Democratic State Committee held consulta-
ton with several Democrats of local note at
the Preble last evening. Little business was
transacted, but considerable talking was done.
The soul of the Democracy, Corporal
Emery, was absent, laboring at Bangor for the
success of Powers. The conclave didn't look
happy, and change has evidently come over
the dream of the Democracy. The currency
question, the Powers defeat, the harmonious
action Of the Cumberland Republicans are
dampeners. 1t is understood that the Com
mttee are in favor of supporting the Argus in
its heroic resolution not to let its readers see
the Ohio Democratic platform.
