solemnized the marriage of its worthy pastor,
Rev. John T. Rea and Miss S. Helen Mudgett.
1t being well understood that the wedding was
to be the most brilliant affair of the kind ever
witnessed in this region, it drew together
large assemblage of the elite of this and the
neighboring towns, while the high local stand
ing of the chief actors 10 the hymeneal drama
gave additional ecIat to the occasion.
The interior of the church-one of the most
beautiful country churches in the state-had
been splendidly decorated with floral contribu-
lions by the ladies of the Society, and prese nted
fair, like appearance. The platform and
altar were buried in a wealth of floral beauty
bouquet baskets, vases and stands of flowers,
of almost every kind and hue, native plants
and rare exotics; and fronting the altar was a
tall arch of evergreen and flowers from the
keystone of which hung marriage belP'

National Temperance Camp Meeting.


The attendance upon the exercises of Mon
day morning was very light, in fact the small
est of any day since the meetings opened.
Eight o'clock saw a very few gathered in the
tabernacle for the morning prayer and expe-
rience meeting, which was presided over by Fl.
w. Adams, editor of the New York Morning.
Experiences were recited, prayers offered aod
hymns sung.
At half past ten an exceedingly small audi
ence assembled in the grove for the regular
forenoon service, which was presided over by
Rev. Mr.. Dickinson, (brother of the celebrated
Anna En- of Boston, and Mrs. III. E. Prentiss
of Bangor. The meeting was opened by the
reading of the fifth chapter of Matthew by
Mrs. Prentigs. Prayer was offered by Rev.
Mr.. Weeks of Fryeburg, which was followed by
singing. Mr.. Dickinson rose and made brief
though telling address, after which Mr.. MUIR
ply said he took great pleasure in welcoming
delegation of people from Galesburg, Ill.
Mr.. Baker, in behalf Of the delegation, rose
and paid high tribute to Mr.. Murphy and
the good he had done among them. Mr.. Dick
inson then introduced as the principal speaker
of the forenoon DR.. Babcock of Philadelphia,
who has already taken prominent part in the
meetings. DIR. Babcock delivered long ad.
dress, combining himself chiefly to some notes
witch he had prepared, having for sub.
ject, ''Facts from history in regard to the tenn
perance work" Mrs Prentiss folio wed in a
brief address regarding the temperance work
in Bangor
At half past two an audience of about seven
hundred were brought together in the grove.
Rev. l. Luce presided. He introduced Captain
Coyle as the first speaker. He made one of
his quaint speeches, stating that he wished to
disagree with some of the points made by MI.
Dow a few days SINCE He did not want to
hang every rumseler as did Gen. Dow, because
we want to use them for a better purpose as we
do Mr.. Murphy
Mrs. Crossman then introduced the new
speaker, Mrs. Kent Mason of New Hampshire.
Speaking in clear and ringing tones, and hold
ing the audience with the closest attention, her
address was one of the best arranged and finest
delivered efforts we have yet heard on the
grounds Mrs. Mason spoke in favor of pro-
hibiton and denounced the license law. She
| told in glowing words Of the great evils of in
temperance, and said she did not tell things
| she had heard but things she had seen. Her
advice to the people of Maine was to keep the
present law and enforce it, and not give way
| to miserable license law. She wished there
were a thousand Neal Dow's instead of one.
Prof Foster of New Brunswick, delivered a
| fine and well worded address in favor of pro-
hibition, and gave good account of the tenn.
perance work in New Brunswick Mrs. Needs

ANOTHER BURGLAR CAUGHT.-It seems that
the tramps and thieves are now operating
on the vessels in the harbor, but they don't
seem to meet with much success as yet. Yes
terday we spoke of the capture of one of these
fellows, and this moruiug we record the cap
ture of second of the same sort. Yesterday
morning Capt John How of the bark J. Fl.
Chadwick, lying at Union wharf, discovered
that the vessel had been entered and guam
tity of clothing and plated silver ware taken.
He sent for officer York, who had just learned
that schooner at Coles wharf, had bean en-.
tered and revolver stolen Saturday night.
The officer at once made up his mind that one
Michael Kyne was the one who had committed
both crimes, and so made him call. When
the officer informed Kyne that he was wanted,
he started to run, but was captured by the Off
Ger and taken to the station. On his person
was found the stolen revolver, and he readily
admitted both burglaries. Deputy Bridges
and officer York found all of the stolen proper
ty in a coal shed on Union wharf and in the
rear of stable on the corner of Union and
Fore streets.

CHASING TRAIN.-There is al ways some
one who prefers to wait until train gets we'll
under way and then mount on to the steps just
as the last car is leaving the depot. The man
who attempted to assume this role at the East
err depot, yesterday afternoon, won't try it
again. He waited just moment too long, for
when he went for the rear car, it shot away
from him. His courage was excellent, and he
started in pursuit. The brakeman pretended
be was pulling the bell cord to stop the train,
but the lockers on thought he was only playing
with it to encourage the efforts Of the passen-
ger who was striving to get on board. When
the train went out of sight the man was still
running. as was also the train, and the distance
between them was great
