CENTENNIAL CoNcERT.-A very appreciative
audience assembled at Lords Hall, West Bux-
ton, Friday evening, to listen to piano duets
and solos, and songs of "ye olden time" Sc
lectlons from ii Trovatore, Mozart, Leybach
and Strauss were rendered with skill and ex-
preston by Miss Clark, Miss Lord, Miss Towle
and Miss q. E. Tracy, who for the past few
months have been under the instruction of
Miss M. Miller. Especially would we praise
the performance of little Miss Fantie Clark.
Nothing could exceed the childish gracefulness
OF her rendition of "The Milkmaid's Song
She responded to an enthusiastic encore by
repeating the charming little song. Her inc
execution of difficult piano music won the
praise of all.
The select reading, ''The Wtch's Daughter %
by Miss Weld, and "The Curfew," by Miss R.
B. Tracy, were wamrly applauded. The solos
sung by Miss Butler, Mrs. Spaulding, Mr.. l..
M. Mason, and Mr.. A. Bowdoin, were very fine
indeed.
A very attractive feature of the evening was
the singing of "AuId Lang Syne'' in the cos
tune of 1776, by Misses E. and III. Bradbury,
and Messrs A. HI. Barnes and W. S. Graham.
Thanks are due Mr.. A. x. P Lord for his
Kindness in giving the use of his hall and
piano. The proceeds of the ntertainment 60
towards the purchase of an organ for the Free
will Baptist church.

The OTHER SIDE.-Mr. Courtnay, the book.
keeper of Messrs. James Hogan & Co., who
were accused by certain parties called tramps
OF failing to pay their men on the Western Di-
vision of the Portland Il Ogdensburg Railroad,
gives the following for the other side in the
Argus of yesterday:
In the first place there is not single laborer
who las been employed on the western division
of the 2. & O. r.. r. or Lamoille Valley r. r.,
between johnson and Sheldon, Vermont, who
has not received his pay for four months.
On or about the fifteenth day of January
they received the pay due them up to the first
day of January. OF the four hundred men or
so employed on the construction, twO-thirds of
them are to-day in debt to the contractors,
Messrs. James Hogan & Co., and owing to the
failure on the part of the railroad company to
pay the contractors the amount of their first
estimate for work done and materials furnished
during the preceding four months, due them on
the 10th day of last month, instructions have
been sent by MI. James Hogan to his superin-
tendents to Immediately reduce the force en-
ployed, by the discharging of all the men
indebted to him.
In the second place, 1 do not know of any
resident of the State Of Maine sub contractor
on the work, and am positive there is no SUBJ
contractor to whom James Hogan & Co. are
indebted to the amount of $1,000, for they, like
the men, are Tor the most part indebted to the
contractors
In the third place. it is base msrepresenta-
ton of facts to say that Mr.. James Hogan has
received $4,000 in bonds in payment for work
performed. The facts are simply, that out of a
net estimate calling for $4,000 in cash and
$4,000 in consolidated bonds of the P. & o. R.
H., or iD lieu thereof a certain stipulated cash
equivalent, he has received, cash $500, consol-
idated bonds $27 900, and he has dsbu rsed in
cash to sub contractors, laborers, &C., during
the progression of the work, $4,000.

seat in the gallery-only this caveat was en-
tered, that no one should enter who came to
make sport.
There were about thirty persons present--all
with devout and becoming behavior. The
ceremony was solemn and impressive. One of
their number states that more would have been
present but for the bad travelling. None were
admitted to the hall after 7.30 o'clock.
1t was now we'll along in the eveng, and no
sign appeared to confirm the Elders predic-
ton. The nine o'clock bells rang out their
good night peal as ever. The careless world
the good Advent people waited on the Lord,
waited to see Him coming in the clouds of
Heaven.
Ten o'clock. The world has gone to sleep, as
ever, little expecting to awake in Eternity; but
these faithful sentineS still wait in patience tor
the last syllable of recorded time.
Eleven O'Clock! The clock in the peighbor-
ing bell towers strikes one short of midnight.
Elder Thurman's faith wavers At 1130 the
lights are extinguished, and the faithful ones
go home. As ever, true to the Almanac, old
Sol broke over the world this morning. And
the time is not yeti
Elder Thurman on being consulted on Satur-
day, confessed that the failure of several ap-
pointed dates for the fnal catastrophe has
somewhat weakened his confidence in his
arithmetic; but of this he is positive, that the
second coming of the Lord will occur on Pass
over Day. The Elder has carefully prepared
chronology of the world, and has ielt that if
this last appointment was not q success, he
should leave the date with the Lord altogether.
He is constrained to see that he is in error and
he frankly confesses that he cannot set any
further time for the above-named catastrophe.
He takes his figures from Daniel The world,
he says, was created in his view, 5000 years ago,
about this time of year.
A table cover red with snowy white linen
was spread in the hall. on which the tokens of
the eucharist were spread. The bread was un-
leavened and seven days old. The table was
surrounded by settees. Elder Thurman presid-
ed and conducted the service. Scripture was
read; hymn was sung, and the Elder gave
directions to the flock. The settees were first
turned back to the table, Tue sisters occupied
one bench; the brethren another, sitting back
to them on the opposite side of the table. Fol-
lowing the example of Jesus, the Elder re-
moved his coat and grit himself with linen
towel. He then poured water into basin and
washed the feet of one of the disciples Then
the disciples washed one another's feet-the
sisters performing the rite, one for another.
Then the passover supper was eaten. An in
terestiDg social service followed the supper,
which ended at 10 o'clock. Each person re-
lated his experience, his hope and his faith, as
any Christian might.

Sewerage.

Mr.. EDIToR:-In the PRESS of the Sd inst, q.
the sewers from New State street are projected
to run into the creek at the foot of the street,
discharging on the marshy fats. Now, sir, do
say to the city government, "do not allow the
sewerage of this part of our beautiful city to
be left there" but suggest that pipes from the
creek-48 inches in diameter-be laid to below
Tukey's bridge, to deep water, taking in all the
sewers from every street running to the cove.
Try and persuade the city government not to
allow the sewerage to flow out upon the "fats.''
which left to tie suns heat will bring all sorts
of fevers to our beautiful city. Deering street,
with its elegant houses occupied by Jour most
enterprising citizens; the charming lots which
are being taken up for beautiful houses, which
our talented architects are designing, will be
thereby rendered most unhealthy. The "Boul-
evard' around the cove, by the far seeing men
of Deering, and with the new Boulevard 200
feet wide, from the foot of Preble street direct
ly across the cove to Deering, so soon to be an
nexed to Portland, givin new impulse to the
there, adding to the growth and wealth OF
Portland, theInew sewer increasing the value
of the land around the cove in Portland and
Deering, making Portland the most healthy
and inviting city for business and elegant resi-
dences in New England, will be seriously inn
paired if not ruined. ONTARIO.
