y. T. Dutton, Treasurer and Depository. 1t was
decided to put canvasser into the work Of distri-
buting bibles throughout the town and doing re-
ligious work from house to house.
The Warren Wooden Mill held its annual meet
ing on Wednesday and elected all the old board of
directors aud officers. The meeting was chaiac-
terizcd by an exceedingly quiet spirit, yet a de-
termined one of progress. Heretofore a good
sound dividend has been declared yearly besides
surplus. Yet last year no surplus was reserved
| to any amount, making the dividend Of that year
really the drawing upon the surplus of the pre-
vious years. Accounts show now a few thousands
behind but no fault is attached to the management
or any uncasiness felt among the stockholders.
Mr. Richards of Wadoboro' is retained as selling
agent again lie and Mr.. Nj. j. McCollum, the
agent have done good deal for the factory.
The Lodge of Good Templars gave free pub
lie meeting on Friday the 2Sth The entertain
ment consisted OF tahleaux and dialogues and re-
marks by Revs. Goodrich and Dutton, and talk
by l.. F. Starrett. the latter spoke in behalf of
the lodge and asked that those present might feel
interested enough in the work to lend helping
hand Quite number signified their desire Of
Joining. Success to them.
| 1t is excellent sle.ghng. Rode to Rockland on
| Saturday and called upon the Free Press. Was
much pleased with the convenences of their new
quarters. Everything was neat and in order.
Really think they have the best ofhcc in the

The War In Spain.
SUCCESS OF THE ALFONSIST
TROOPS.
AN EARLY END OF THE CONFLICT
PROBABLE.

London, February l. The Times publishes .
letter from San Sebastian, from which is CLEANED
the following details and results of some of the
initial engagements between the Royalists and
Carists:
The movement by the Royalists towards yer,.
on the 18th of JAN, was only feint to cover The
real attack on Guetara. Guetaria is the only
point the Carlists have held on the Calsbrian
coast, west of San Sebastian, since the com.
mencement of the war.
Gen. MoriOnes, returning to San Sebastian en-
barked two battalions of troops, which landed at
Guetaria before daylight of the 26th. These i'm
medlately attacked and captured the heights of
Garatemendi, which commands the town Of Cue
taria. The Carlists fled almost without firing q
shot. 1t would be difficult to over-estinate the
importance of this movement. 1t completely al
tiers the condition of the Gupuzeoan campaign
and renders necessary the abandonment of the
Carlist positions from which they bombarded San
Sebastian, and opens an easy route whereby Gen.
Moriones may advance into Biscay, threatening
Durango and other Carlist centres to junction
with Gen. Lomas' forces now adv ancing from the
direction OF BIlboa.
Thus Gen. Moriones movements have COM
menced most favorably, and should subsequent
operations be crowned with equal success, Carl
ism will soon have received its death blow in the
western provinces.
San Sebastian, February l. Gen. Martinez
Campos IS advancing into the heart of BatZan val
ley and driving the Carlists towards the mountains
OF the frontier. A great panic is said to prevail
among the Carlists at Vera and other points on
the Bdassoa river. Gen. Moriones continues tho
movement he commenced yesterday.
Tolosa, February l. The Carlsts deuv they
defeated at Santa Barbara. They claim
that Gen. Perula repulsed the royalists and pur.
sued them to Pueute La Reina, that the royalist
division advancing on Lorea was defeated, and re.
treated precipitately, and that Gen. Moriones re.
ceived severe check on the Doth of January.

NaIIomelI Local Nems.

At the regular meeting Of the Reform Club in
City Hall on Monday evening, Rev. Mr.. LeI.acheur
made some remarks concerning the sale of liquor.
at our city agency and read from the city reports
statement of the amount sold during single
year, and the profits made thereon, drawing the
inference that this must have been very sickly
community to require such a quantity of medicine
After 4 brief ard somewhat animated discussion
concerning an amendment to the records of a
previous meeting Lawrence McCully, Esq, for
many years resident Of the Sandwich Islands,
gave an interesting account Of the temperance
movement 10 the country of his adoption, demon
stratng the benedcent influence Of both moral
aud legal means for the suppression Of the traffic
and use of intoxicating liquors among the native
and foreign population of those Islands. Mr..
McCully is brother of Rev. {. G.. McCully of
this city, and gentleman whose opportunities fer
gaining information on the subject under discus
sion have been such to render hi; presentation
of facts of peculiar value and interest. He was
followed by Rev. Mr.. Clement, of the Free Bap-
list church in this city, who gave an earnest APP
peal, especially to the christian church to take adj
vanced ground in their efforts ia the cause
of temperance. AT the close of the speaking the
pledge book circulated and signed by those
desiring to enroll their names thereon. The tenn
perance choir under the lead of Mr.. L. ii. At
kins, furnished excellent muse for the occasion.
Notice of another public meeting in two weeks
was given, and also of a business meeting nj the

The Judiciary Committee had before them yes
terGay the proposition to establish State Board
of Health, TO orsist of seven members-a mer-
chant, engineer, architect, lawyer and three ply

DR.. George f. French of Portland, appeared. as
chairman of a committee appointed by the Name
Medical Association. lie first made the statement
that public health is wealth; that the average
health and prosperity of community is measured
by the average condition Of the individuals who
compose it. A hardy, healthy race Is the WORKING
capital of State or nation,-the producing capt.
tai. From a sicllly people YOU may expect that the
State community will be sickly in all It's various
departments Crime is the natural offspring OF
disease, as the records of prisons show.
Sanitary science has made rapid strides the past
ten years, and the majority of diseases are at least
preventable and those that are not yet discovered
to be so may by sanitary measures be controlled
or mitigated. The physician of the future will be
called TO prevent disease, rather than to cure.
The State should sustain the same relation to the

Mr.. D. Ward is to be congratulated on the
marked success OF his concert given at Granite
Hall last evening The audience was equal IN
numbers and intelligence to that which honored
Mrs. Scott Siddons the other evening. The grand
old choruses were brought out with great volume
and beauty, showing thorough practice, The
piano solos and duets by Misses Cochrane and
Pillsbury, and the several quarettes in which were
enlisted some Of the best cultivated musical talent
/, n the city, were so well performed that the en-
.husiasm of the audience could scarcely be
checked, and would only be satisfied with the repe-
,ition of some of the pieces. The two qualtcttes
by Mrs Fairfield and Davies, and Messrs. Hum
and Ward, and the part sustained by Miss Robin
son in the last chorus, were especially fine. The
audience was in raptures over the singing of Miss
Lizzie c. Norton, who has round, sweet voice.

May our citizens again have the pleasure of listen-
ing to her and again greeting Mr.. Wards excel
