Trains were run from Plymouth, Port
land, White River Junction, Stanstead
and elsewhere, yesterday, to the Twin
Mountain House, to carry the very large
congregation that gathered to hear the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher The spa
cious tent holding four thousand could
not fully convene the large number as
sembled. Prof. J.. o. Emerson was pres
ent to lead the singing and assistant
Pastor Halliday to assist in the exercis-
es. Mr.. Beechers discourse was excel
lent. The scandal does not seem to
have lessened Mr.. Beecher's popularity
in New England. No such an event
has been witnessed in this country, as

eral thousand coming "from the four
winds, distance of more than hun
dred miles in some directions to hear
noted man preach the gospel. There
are some who object to the running of
Sunday trains to carry passengers to
hear Mr.. Beecher, but we do not

be Likely to keep the day holy if they
remained at home. The fare is so cheap
that all can afford to make the trip to
hear the noted preacher.
