una McLuer.
Special me ntion should be made Of the very ex-
celient music furnished during the day and eve
ming by Mr.. 5. and Miss l.. Thompson, adding
much 10 the interest Of the occasion.
A very interesting feature of the occasion was
the invitation given to the Reform Club to partici-
pate in the evenings entertainment, some one
hundred and fifty accepting the invitation, and as
the long line Of valiant men and women lied
into the hall, how the heart must thrill with SYM
patty and every one present join with triumphant
shout in the seeming prophetic swell of the grand
old organ it peaed its joyous notes in the glo-
rious anthem, Arise arise 10 Save" aud PRAYER
from each heart ascending the Great White
Throne-that having once arisen and opened our
doors, we may never close the n again, nor sit
down in lethargic inactivity, but arouse, and
arise to Save"

was followed by nearly twenty five stirring

Very much good can be accomplished by the
united efforts OF the various temperance organiza-
tons, and We hope the first union meeting of Ken
nebec County Lodge may not be its last.

Claims of Towns for Money.

EDITORS OF JoURNAL:-The report of the
Governor and Council, while it gives the facts as
far as it goes. does not tell the whole story. 1t
states that under the Presidents call for troops in
October, 1868, the State bounty was 500 rer
man, and the towns were empowered to pay
bounty of $500 per man; that majority of the
towns, $50 moro or less filed their quotas by their
own efforts; that minority of the towns. some
100 more or less, failed to get their quotas full
that the Adjutant General assumed the work of
enlistng men to ill the October call and demand
ed the towns delinquent on the October call
should pay into the State Treasury the sum of
$500 per man needed to fll that quota That q
towns complied with this demand, and the money
was used in enisting men to complete this quota !;
that two of the u towns have been repaid by
special order of the Legislature.
The report does not state that of the l5Otowns
that did not comply with the demand of the Adiu-
tant Genera( l2s more or less,) had these charges

removed by special act of the Legislature, and
that 26 of these that had paid the charges under
protest in resumption bonds, had been reimbursed
in money, leaving the ~ towns now claiming re-
endorsement, the only towns of the $50 assessed,
sufferers by this demand for money. Thus. taking
into account the fact that the Adjutant General
had no authority to make these demands, las is
stated in the report) in connection with the above
facts, there has been an apparent injustice done
these towns.
