DEDICATION OF THE FREEPoRT REFORM
CLUB HALL.-On Thursday evening the new
hall of the Reform Club at Freeport was dedi-
Gated the exercises beginning att o'clock. A
large delegation from the Portland Reform
Club were present and assisted. The hall is
tastefully and elegantly fitted up, being car
peted, and the walls covered with pictures and
notices. A splendid organ also graces the
room. The whole expense has been borne by
the citizens Of Freeport. After the dedi-
cation services were over the people marched to
the town hall, headed by the Freeport Cornet
Band. Temperance tunes were played, guns
were fired, bells run, and people shouted as
they marched. Here 600 people were gathered
and the services were opened by reading and
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Center of Freeport.
Mr.. VIM. Mitchell, President of the Freeport
Reform Club then introduced the President of
the Portland Reform Club, Mr.. c. W. Thomas,
who made touching remarks, giving Freeport
the credit of being the most interested in the
work and of having the finest hall in the state.
Messrs. Ripley, Choate, Mcdonald, Hyer,
York, Smith, Perry, Stokes and Nelson, Leigh
ton of the Portland Club, also spoke, the TAT
ter gentleman holding the audience spell
bound with his touching remarks. Then fol-
lowed Mr.. Clark of the Mechanic Falls Reform
Club Stockbridge's Quartette Club of Port
land, favored the people with beautiful singing
Closing remarks were made by Mr. Barnum of
the Auburn Reform Club. Many hard drink
ers signed the pledge. Oysters were served to
the Portland Club after the meeting and invi-
tations given them to stop all night. The hos
pitalty of the Freeport people cannot he ex-
ce1led

TRAINS BY TELEGRAPH-The trains over
the Eastern and Maine Central railroads be-
tween Boston and Bangor are run by one STAN
dard Of time. Twice in every "a hours at o.
clock, the exact Cambridge time is sent to
every station between Boston and Bangor. 1t
occupies but few seconds to prepare and
transmit the intelligence, and back comes from
every operator on the road, the customary 80.
K. in the order of location Of offices commence
ing at Bangor and working westerly. Thus
every time table is run according to Cambridge
time and no confusion can arise from differ
ence Of time in different locations. Safety is
essential, and exact knowledge of the true time
of starting trains is needed by the train des-
patchers. The telegraph corps in the station
consist of day and night operators, the large
number of freight trains moving in the night
requiring nearly as much work Of the night
operators as those employed by day.

StrOudwater.

The new and commodious hall at Stroudwa-
ter was crowded Thursday evening, on the oc-
casion of the presentation of the beautiful
operetta of "Pepita" by ameteurs of that place
and vicinity. The play was admirably cast
and played, many of the finest representations
being given by utter novices to "the witching
glare of the footlghts" The operetta was sue
ceeded by side-spiting farce of home manu-
facture, creditable alike to the inventor and
performers, followed by bountiful supper to
the amateurs, and an impromptu dance. The
entertainment was one long to be remembered
and one of which the residents of Stroudwater
may be Justly proud, not only as result of
their worthy enterprise and ambition to vie with
the spirit of progressive movements in sister
towns, but as a test of the convenience, capac-
ity and adaptation of their new hall TO their va
rious needs. The entertainment will be repeat
ed this Saturday evening and should draw a
full house.
