who washed his feet with her tears and wiped them
with the hair Of her head. The practical instruc-
tons drawn from the subject were that we should
not fail to notice the good good coming from
whatever source, and that no persons however
low should be passed by without an Effort to better
their condition if possible This we regard as the
true spirit Of christianity and was therefore pleased
with the discourse. Another pleasing feature Of
the service was that the words were plainly spok

many cergymen in this demon nation indulge in. ="

and repeated last week. They seem lily and boy
ish. The Conner Cadets, the Atlantic Engine
Company, delegation from the Pacific Company,
| and many Others of our citizens contributed, by
their presence and their money, somewhat to the
success Of the occasion and it seems like extreme
| ly poor taste to 'pitch into them" in snappsh,
snarlish way. The Conner Cadets, the military
| company of boys, in which our citizens feel nat
ural pride-the members being composed OF the
| best boys in the high and grammar schools-was
present. and possibly might expect passing notice
from the local paper, especially when other SINH
lar organizations came in for their share Of praise
or censure. The Mail says: "Our Lithgow
Guards secured emphatic commentator for the
manner in which they performed escort and
guard duties. Their good example in all respects
| is commended to the attention Of many older
men," But scarcely an allusion to the Conner Ca
diets, who deserved certainly much praise as the
| Lithgow Guards. The Atlantic Engine Compa-
| ny Of this city, an organ ization whose gallant
| deeds have passed into the history of the town
and who would wish to erase this record made
the if first appearance at Waterville in their new
uniform, pronounced by good judges equal to any
on the grounds. The impartial Mail says: "Tbe
Union of Ellsworth, q Button tub twenty. four
years old, had fine looking company in new
uniform" But concerning the Atlantic compa-
| ny, the Mail says: "Iookng at the men as they
worked, a stranger would say that they we're not
so much picked as picked up-that is to say, they
were not a well drilled company and had not had
the advantage Of working together on that ma
chine for any length of time. They played vio-
ently and with much noisy yelling from the start.

on that 4 tn of July. Rum was sold freely and
without restraint. ANY one who had the least ap-
