from st. Johnsbury, Vermont, and making a

HOSPITAL SUNDAY. Ore week from tomor-
row collections ale to be taken in the churches
throughout the state for the benefit of the
Maine General Hospital The usage was es-
tablshed last year, but was not observed as ex-
tensively as the merits of the object deserved.
Four of the Protestant churches in this city
contributed something over $175, and the Ro-
man Catholic churches here and in BiddefoId
gave about $475. No others, we believe, re
sponded to the call. We hope that liberal re-
spouse will come this year from all parts of
Maine. 1t is not simply the size of the gift
that makes it acceptable, but the spirit which
prompts it; and if the churches in the country
towns would but average ten dollars each, an
amount would be realized sufficient to sustain
the noble charity till the next Hospital Sunday.

A correspondent, writing from Hay

How long he would have continued

called for drink. Whipple lodged
behind the counter, but in my full view,
strained the apple-juice into pitcher,

in little stuff from small vial, pour
