HOLY Thursday is usually celebrated with
great pomp at the Cathedral of the Immacu-
late Conception, but this year owing to va
cancy in the blshopric, they were not SO i'm
posing, although they were very interesting
The cathedral was crowded at an early hour
with an interested audience. Father Bradley
acted as celebrant.
The altar was brilliantly illuminated with
hundreds of candles. The drapings were as
usual, purple. Mass was celebrated at 10 IL
o'clock by Father Bradley, after which the
services closed with procession of the Blessed
Sacrament from the altar to the repository,
which was adorned with floral offerings and
lighted with thousand candles. The process
sion was fine sight; in it were seventy little
girls dressed in white with wreaths of flower
on their heads. Father Bradley followed the
procession beneath canopy of white satin
supported by four boys, with the Blessed Sac
rament.
The chapel windows were draped in scarlet,
which added to the effect. On either side were
the figures of angels, bending in alteration.
The Aununciation of the Blessed.Virgn was
also commemorated. The music was Dy the
choir of the cathedral and was excellent. This
afternoon at o'clock there will be service
called the fourteen stations of the cross, in
memory of the places where Jesus paused on
the way to crucfxion. The priest offers an
orison at each station.
In commemoration of the day the Holy Eu-
charist was celebrated in the morning at St.
Luke's Cathedral. There was no celebration
at st. Stephens church in the morning, but
evening prayer was said by the rector, Rev.
Asa Dalton, in the vestry, at o'clock.

Who Was Drunk in Rangor2

Mr.. EDIToR:-Will you permit me through
the columns of the PRESS to ask the Bangor Com
mercal who the party hailihg from Portland
was who was referred to in that journal as de-
llvering temperance lectures in the vicinity of
thatcity and then going to Bangor and getting
drunk Many of the friends of the cause here
are considerably exercised over the matter and
have requested me to demand this public an
swer. No person belonging to the Reform Club
here or in any way identifed with the cause,
has been in Bangor for two months. The
charge, if true, should be plainly answered by
the name Of the party. If not true the insnu-
ution is not creditable to the journal making
it, and, is injurious to cause which the noble
workers in Bangor have done SO mach to adj
vance.
Yours for the Reform Club,

A WRITER &C.," in the Portland Advertiser,
is evidently vexed at the delay in the execution
of Wagner and Gordon, and charges the re.
sponsiblity upon Gov. Dipgley. The Govern
or we doubt not, will cheerfully accept the re-
sponsibiity. The wisdom of his action under
the circumstances is very apparent. The state
of Maine is not in such immediate danger
from the continued miserable existence of
Wagner and Gordon as to require their instant
death. We believe in the ultimate certain in
Fiction of whatever penalty may be upon the
statute book, but we also believe that the &C
ton of the state should be deliberate and eau
tions, and with scrupulous observance of all
legal forms. If Judge of the Supreme Court
thinks there is enough in any point to require
argument there can be no-question that the Ex-
ecutive ought to grant time for the argument.

accepted, as it probably will be, work will be
commenced on the rooms at once. Mr.. Bar
mum stated that he intends if he opens Mu-
scum to make it equal to any in New England.
Such an institution would be fine thing for

RAILRoADs.-There was great deal of COM
ment yesterday among business men respecting
the policy which the Eastern Railroad mana

that it will be peaceful, as that company is in

showing of the Maine Central the past year, is
favorably commented on.

been ordered on the Maine Central trains.
They were taken off by President Morrill, on
account of the heavy loss sustained in their
