ed them. Quite large sum had already been
collected in the state through their agency.

Misses Gould of your city, The administra-
ton OF the Lords Supper closed the exercises.
The attendance was large and the hospitality
abundant The committee of arrangements
were indefatigable in their attentions to the
comfort of their guests. The excursion to Hal

ed an agreeable respite from the confinement of

was accepted. The Maine Central Railroad are

service gentleman like Conductor Jewett,
who delayed his train ten minutes to accommo-
date Portland passengers.
