The Casco Street Bell.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I think 'Neighbor's' commu-
nication in Saturday evenings Advertiser is to
the point. When the present system of sound
ing fire alarm was adopted it was with the
idea of doing away witkthe noise and clamor
that had been the previous custom. If we had
never learned the telegraph system, the old
fashioned alarm might have been borne in si-
lence, but we do not now see why one portion
of the city should realize the benefit of mod
ern improvement and another portion be ig-
nored. can fully testify to ''Neighbor's" as
sertioD, that those living in the vicinity of the
Casco street bell, because of its noise, are una
BILE to hear the striking of the other bells or of
ascertaining the whereabouts of the fire. If it
is necessary to raise the neighborhood because
the only bell in that part of the city is in the
tower of Casco street church, bell should be
placed in the position needed, say near the cor.
ner of Green and Portland streets. and thus
save annoyance to citizens that are as deserv
ing as these in other parts of the city. AL
ready there has been much talk about this bell
and hope those who have the matter in charge
will not turn deaf ear to a needed improve
ment. ANOTHER NEIGHBOR.

THE GENEROUS THING.-The other evening,
George Gulliver, son of John CULVER, dscov-
cred the fire in the paint shop of Messrs. Bur-
CESS, Fobes & Co., and by the exercise of an
unusual degree of GOODNESS, put out the fire
while other boys went to give the alarm. Had
he not directed his efforts to the fire the loss
might have been very heavy as the building
contains material which would burn with great
rapidity. Messrs. Burgess, Fobes & Co. yester-
day generously recognized the credtable con-
duct of young Gulliver by presenting him with
purse of $25.

he has just visited:
Portland has recuperated wonderfully since
the great fire, and yet reminders of that disas-
trous event are quite frequent in the burnt dis.
trict-vacant lots, walls in ruin, charred trunks
of trees, &c. We never visit this city without
being impressed with the fact that it is ''beau-
tful for situation" -possessing rare attractions
for the merchant and the citizen. 1t is truly
''city set ON HILL" and its sanitary advan-
ges are great, among which may be mentioned
its facilities for drainage and the pure ocean air
with which it is favored. Its superiority over
most other cities is so apparent that even the
passing stranger can heartily sympatbze in the
pride of the old resident. as together they pass
through the busy streets, admire its charming
residences and noble public buildings, or from
some prominent point look out upon its beaut.

The CHRISTIAN MlRRoR.-The Lewiston
Journal of Monday contains the following an
nouncement:
Several of our exchanges note that the Chris
tian Mirror, which has for over half a century
been sustained by the Congregationalists Of
Maine has been purchased by the propretors
OF the Lewiston Journal, and will be published
in Lewiston on and after Oct 29th. 1t appears
from circular just issued by DR.. Fiske of
Bath Rev. Mr. Hincks of Portland, Rev. Mr..
Fay of Bangor, and large number of Congre.
gational clergymen, that the publishers of the
journal were appealed to to save the Mirror to
Maine, as its list must have soon been disposed
OF to paper outside of the state; and that they
have acceded to the request and will make a
trial Of the disposition of the Congregational
lists of Maine to support the Mirror IN an en-
larged form, and under the editorial charge of
Rev. Israel P. Warren, D. D., for many years
the successful editor of religious publications
in New York and Boston, and more recently
Secretary of the Boston Tract Society. DR..
Warren's qualifications for religious Journal
ism, are unsurpassed, and the Mirror under his
charge ought to be made very successful re-
ligious newspaper. DR.. Warren is to take up
his residence in Lewiston, and we doubt not
will receive warm welcome from those who
have known him as an able and prominent
clergyman and successful religious journalist
