ANNUAL MEETING OF THE MAINE
STATE GRANGE.
Second Days Proceedinss---L1rger At
tendance than Yesterday.

WATERyILLE. December 10. The second day 5
meeting of the Maine State Grange was largely
attended to-day many delegates and visitors being
present who were not here before.
Yesterday, Master Ham delivered his annual
address treating largely of CO operation and other
wants of tic order in this State with recommends
ti9us touching the same for the consideration of
the Grange at its present meeting.
Reports of the executive committee and of the
State agent, already made, show the o,der to be
in healthy condition throughout the State, with
prospects of profitable cooperation in trade and
in many other respects.
State agent Dyer complains that the great OBJ
siacle now in the way of action and practical co
operation among Patrons of the State is a lack Of
executive will subordinate oranges. That the
great need of the order is an individual dcterm ma
ton among the members to execute lis purposes
and that no plan, however good, is of any use I'M
less put into operation. Happily there is now a
very general and decided purpose manifested in
this meeting of the STATE Grange 10 put in opera
ton all the machinery of the order and give it the
support Necessary to assure full success.
The stockholders of the cooperation State store
mect for organ cation this P. NJ. There are va
rious amendments to the State constitution, sever
al Of which Will doubtless be adopted.
The regul I business will be suspended for a
while this afternoon, to administer the fifth degree
to such members are entitled to receive it.

The destruction Of steamers yesterday
Nearly all the boats of the keokuk northern
line were IN winter quarters, at or near the COM
pany's shipyards, between Anna street and the
arsenal. supposed secure from damage When
the ice started these steamers were forced from
their moorings and carried down stream.
The War Eagle and Golden Eagle, two large
valuable boats, were forced on shore opposite the
wall, IN such a manner a. to block the paesave
Other leafs crowded in, and cause &. ,Dl,.- e
Jam.
AT 3 7. VI. the boats lay in about the following
order AT upper emf OF Arsenal wall, Jennie
Baldwin, low on shore aud sinking slowly at
stern; the Lake Superior and Alexander NJ itchell ;
the Centennial NEW boat which had not yet
made TIP, crushed between the latter and the
Andrew Johnson then the Bsyard Arnold. craft
with her forward guards and deck crushed the
Rock Island and Davenport, boats old; the War
Eagle, valued at 500, 600, with the nose of her
consort, the Golden Eagle equally valuable, thrust
through her lsrboard sfterguard.
The latter was partly forced on the rocks on
shore, and Rugged up under her boilers the Red

lIule hurt.
At , L. NJ, ice again moved, crushing boats
stu closer together ami doing additional damage.
The BaJat was almost completely destroy cd
The Mitchell wa. crushed nearly to pieces.
AT midnight there was prospect that the bulls

All these boats belong to the Keokuk Northern
Line, excepting the Centennial

All the boats previously mentioned are still
wedged tightly together, and when the ice gorge
| breaks away, most OF tn EN- will 90 down with it
| and either be wholly wrecked, or damaged still
| more than now.

Moody Z. Thurlow.

Moody Z. Thurlow.
Died, in Rockland, on the 2sth ultimo, Moody
E. Taurlow. ESQ.,, aged Sc years. A Rockland
paper Of recent date contains q very respectful
notice of the death Of this excellent man and
citizen. He had suffered long and severely from
a local difficulty, which finally terminated his
useful life. Meanwhile he had been constantly
ministered to by the most faithful and kindest Of
wives, who is now left in widowhood to mourn
the loss of one Of the best Of husbands. In re-
gon, MIR. Thurlow was conscientious Univer.
salst. In politics, he was formerly = whig, but
when that party broke up, he connected himself
with the democratic party. He had been alder
man of the city and at one time he was candidate
for mayor, zealously and unanimously supported
by his party, which proved to be in the minority.
Mr. Thurlow was Q native of this city. His IA
Their was for many years captain of one of the
regular line of packets plying between Augusta
and other kennebec towns and Boston. He was
well known as an accomplished and successful
shipmaster. Whilst youth approaching matur
y the subject of this sketch entered the tailoring
establishment of Maj. VIM. ii. Chisam, of whom
he learned the trade. after which he set up In
business in Rockland, where he conducted
clothes warehouse successfully for thirty Year,.
lnfrmities, however, obliged him to retire from
it about three years ago. He did the best Of work
and enjoyed the best of patrons. The writer Of
this notice feels that he has lost friend Of forty
years standing, and tenderly sympathises with his
faithful wife and family in this their severe Attic
ton. May God bind up their broken and bleed
ing hearts aud comfort them with the hope Of .
final and glorious reunion in that "home not
made with hands, eternal and in the heavens

Alma Locals.
Thanksgiving day passed off unusually quiet
here, nothing Of interest taking place, with the
exception Of an entertainment given by the young
people of West Alma, at the schoolhouse. As
there was nothing else near, there was a large at
tendance.
The schools at the Centre and at West Alma
closed last week. The former has been under the
supervision of Mr.. G. F. Mari and the latter of
Mr.. NJ. l.. Mari. We learn that they soon to
go to the lower part of the county to teach. The
school at the upper village opened week ago last
Monday, under the leadership Of Mr.. c. A. Hol-
brook Of North Auburn, student of Bates Col
ege. Mr.. Helbrook comes among us an entire
stranger, but with high recommendations. From
what we have thus far seen it seems that VIC shall
have the privilege OF An excellent school this
winter. Mr.. Ii. n. Haynes Of Skowhegan stu
dent of Colby University, has been secured to
teach. Thus. as We earnestly and sincerely hoped,
OF the dawn of the Centennial year, step has
