A Pleasant Occasion.

Wednesday evening the First Baptist Liter
airy Society gave a complimentary entertain
ment and supper to the Free st. Literary So
ciety in acknowledgment Of recent similar
compliment by the Free ST. Society. The en-
tertainment consisted of addresses select read
ings, etc. This programme was much enjoyed
by the entire audience, but more especially by
the visiting society. The two societies then
arose and were invited by President Duroy to
the supper. The hearts Of the Free Streeters
sank within them as they beheld the tasks
which were assigned them, but quickly they
rallied and advanced to the tables loaded with
many delicacies. After satisfying the inner
man, several toasts were given by Mr.. Gould,
the POSTMASTER of the evening. The Rev. DR..
Smaller responded to the toast, "Our Pastors,''
in few we'll chosen and humorous remarks,
when the societies withdrew to the vestry
where the time was spent in pleasant CONVEX
sation and singing by the young people. 1t
was most enjoyable affair and will be long re-
membered by the Free ST. Society as good
time to be remembered. FREE ST.

ANNUAL MEETING.-The fourth annual
meeting of the Maine Marine Engineers Asso-
citation was held Wednesday evening at Marine
Engineers Hall, No. 35, Commercial street.
The officers elected for the present year are as
follows:-Andrew Taylor, President; James
FL. Merritt, Vice-President; George Gushing,
Treasurer; Thomas Merrill, Secretary; Edwin
B. Clappe, Conductor; Brainerd j. Holmes,
Door Keeper. This Association is branch of
the National Association of Marine Engineers
of the United States, and, although but recent
ly organized, includes some of the leading men
in the business. There are subordinate sub
ordinate associations in all the sea and lake
ports, and it is rapidly becoming strong and
useful organization.
The objects of the Association are mutual aid
which, while taxing the Marine Engineers be-
yond all reason, gives them no protection and
grants licenses to all who may be willing to
pay for them, whether competent or not.
1t is move in the right direction, and in
raising the standard of engineering qualifca.
ton to higher level, it will deserve the coun-
tenance and support of not only the owners of
steam vessels, but also that of the travelling
public, who have occasion to trust their lives
and property to the care and skill of the
Marine Engineers.

SCHENcK's PULMoNfc SYRUP, SEA WEED TONIC
AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These deservedly cele-
brated and popular medicines have effected reyo-
luton in the healing art, and proved the faacy of
several maxims which have for many years obsruct-
ed the progress efmedical science The false suppo-
sition that Consumption is ncurable deferred ply
scians from attempting to find remedies for that dis
ease, and patients afflicted with it reconced them
selves to death without making an effort to escape
from doom which they supposed to be unavoidable
1t Is now proved, however, that Consumption can be
cured and that it has been cured in very great
number of cases (some of them apparently desperate
ones) by Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup alone; and in
other by the medicine in connection with
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, one
or both, according to the requirements of the
DR.. Schenck himself who enjoyed uninterrupted
good health for more than forty years. supposed
at time to be at the very gate of DEATH his ply
sicians having pronounced his case hopeless, and
abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the
aforesaid medicines and, since his recovery, many
thousands similarly affected have used Dr.. Schenck's
preparations with the same remarkable success.
Full directions accompany each, making it not alb
soutely necessary to personally DR.. Schenck
less patients wish their lungs examined and for this
purpose he is professionally at his principal office,
Corner Sixth and Arch Sts., Philadelphia, every
Monday, where all letters for advice must be ad-
dressed. Schenck's medicines are sold by all drug
gists.

One Of the most diligent and noiseless work.
ers in this vicinity, for one who is so universal
ly successful, is Miss Mary Rolfe. She keeps
constantly producing very creditable portraits
in water colors, yet the public see but little of
her work. She has on exhibition at Hale's
portrait of child, that we happen to know,
and it is marvel of correct drawing and faith
full coloring
Hale also has the photographs of the school
buildings, by King, intended for the Centen-
NAL
1t will be very pleasant to the numerous
friends of Miss Eta I. Quincy, by intelligence
just received from her in Germany, where she
is now pursuing her studies, devoting all her
powers with her.accustomed energy to perfect
herself in the fine arts, that her success exceeds
the highest hopes of her friends. On her way
to Germany she remained few weeks in Lon
don. During that time she painted land
scape which passed the criticism of the COM
mittee of examination, who deemed its merits
such as to be entitled to place to grace the
walls of the National Art Gallery in London,
where it is now to be seen. She is now in Mu-
mich, stopping with lady baroness, pursuing
her studies under one of the best teachers of
painting in Germany. All lovers of the fine
arts, and particularly her friends in this city,
will be pleased at the prospect of having an
other artist whom they will be proud to call
their own. 1T
