RerENnal.

Rev. Charles j. Clark who is to be pastor Of
Pine ST. church is a native of this city and was
formerly in business here-not Rev. Frank e
Clark as has been stated by natural mistake
from the similarity of their names.
Rev. j. Evarts Pond, at the close of the
service last Sabbath morning, resigned his
charge as pastor of the Congregational church
in Hampden, to take effect with the close of
the month.
Mr.. Everett W. Pattison, son of the late
president of Watervlle College, has been NOM
mated for circuit Judge by the Republicans of
st. Louis county, Missouri. The St Louis
Law Journal says Mr.. Pattison stands fore
most among the younger members of the bar
for courtesy, gentlemanly bearing and manly
endeavor, and has what a niSi priuS judge
especially needs clear and quick mind, which
readily takes hold of legal questions and refers
them to their governing principles. He has
placed the profession in Missouri under lasting
obligations to him by furnishing them with a
careful and accurate digest of the first forty
eight volumes of the Missouri Reports-a work
which involved three years of exacting labor.

Boston, of the remarkable paintings by M Sc

Jerusalem in her declne.' Several fine en-
cravings from these paintings are owned by
Sunday Schools and individuals in this city,
and their study is never-failing source of in
struction and pleasure to their owners. We
were surprised and delighted, however, last eve
ming to find at the exhibition of Centennial
pictures at Deering Hall perfect reproduction
of these wonderful paintings, in all their origi-
nal beauty and wealth of color. The paintings
were sold to parties in Philadelphia for $25, 900
Of these photographs have been taken and col

request these pictures will be reproduced this

Funeral of Hon. #. o. j. smith,

Fhe funeral rites over the remains of the late
f. O. j. Smith took place yesterday afternoon
at his late residence, Forest Home" in Deer
ing. AS might be expected, there was large
attendance of the members of the Cumberland
Bar, and his former associates and friends.
There has not been an occasion of the kind in
this vicinity for years which has called out
such number of the legal profession. The
remains were placed in a very handsome
casket, which was trimmed with flowers. The
expression Of the features was very life-like,
and be looked as though be were asleep. The
services were conducted by Rev. George W.
Bicknell of India street church, in very
appropriate manner. He paid a glowing
tribute to the memory of the deceased. The
fact that the speaker had known the deceased
intimately made his remarks very forcble. The
body will not be removed until to-day, when it
will be placed in the family Tomb near the
residence.
