Silver Weddiuu.

The friends and relatives of Mr.. and Mrs
Moses Haskell, to the number of forty, met
and took possession Of their house at West
Cumberland, last Saturday evening, it being
ths 18th anniversary of their marriage. They
were taken completely by surprise, but soon
fndiag out the order of things, gracefully
yielded and gave themselves up to the enjoy
ment OF the hour. The evening was spent in
renewing old friendsbips and listening to music
discussed by the Misses Haskell aud others.
At 8 o'clock an oyster stew which reflected
much credit on Dexter Verrill of Auburn, who
superintended its preparation, was served out
and discussed with great avdity. Shortly af-
terward the meeting was called to order and a
poem dedicated to MIR. and Mrs. Haskell was
read by Frank Dexter, who then briefly ex-
pressed the thanks of the surprised couple for
this manifestation of good feeling on the part
OF their friends. A letter was received and
read from Capt. Ezra Haskell of Portland,
whose absence occasioned by illness all deeply
regretted. A fine display of presents was
made, embracing articles both useful and cost
ly. Altogether the evening will long be re-
remembered by those present as an occasion
OF general enjoyment.

EvERETTIsM AT FANNY MARsH's TAEATRE.
Mr.. Everett who appeared in this city some
time since giving spiritual seances, opened a
weeks engagement at Fanny Marsh's theatre
last evening in what he calls Everettism. The
first part of the entertainment opened with the
automatic acus, which is the figure of Turk
who plays cards, calculates sums, performs
card tricks and writes names enclosed in an
envelope at pleasure and with great exactness.
The second and concluding portion of the en-
tertaiument was tricks performed in cabinet.
1t was the same old story of tamborine playing
and bell ringing. The last act was in almost
total darkness where ghost appeared and dis
tributed spirit flowers to the audience. Mr.
Everett only claims that these are good tricks
and many of them are very clever.

cended two flights. the household was startled
by heavy fall. On reaching the entry, the clerk
OF the hotel found the dead body of Brown w.
ing in heap with the scalp torn off. 1t is
supposed that Brown who, on ascending. had
hold of the baustrade, either missed his foot

from his dizzy height. The fact of the man &

are glad to learn that railroad to these impor-

early day. We learn that responsible parties,
gentlemen in;whom the community will have
the utmost confidence, are seriously consider
ing the feasibility of the measure. Its
success will undoubtedly depend upon the
| amount of assistance received upon the line of
the road. With such reasonable assistance as
the citizens of these towns can give without
feeling it burden, We think there is little
hazard in saying they will see first class rail-
road in operation before midsummer.

THE CABLE STEAMER.-The cable steamer
Nina, now in this harbor, is owned by the An
glo American Telegraph Company. She is 1860
tons burden, 1923 feet in length. 81 feet and
inches beam, and is barkentine rig. She has
three large tanks filled with water in which the
cable is kept while on the steamer. She is ca
pable of carrying 600 miles of the heaviest deep
sea cable. Shs is fitted up with paying out ap-
paratus on the stern and picking up machine
at the bows. The latter is used in repairing
breaks where it is necessary to grapple for the
broken ends. The paying out machine is for
laying the cable, and has u large drum over
which the cable runs, 1t also has break straps
to regulate the rate of paying out the cable
and register to indicate the strain. When the
strain becomes too great the straps let go and
thus the breaking of the cable is prevented.
The cable will be discharged today in sufi-
Gent quantities to allow her to go into the dry
dock. After being painted she will go to Bali
fax for winter quarters.

ARRANGEMENT OF MA1Ls.-The change which
was inaugurated last spring in the transporta-
ton of the eastern mails through New England
is working successfully, and large part Of the
southern and western mail now comes east via
the Portland and Worcester line. The present.
plan has been working now for more than ten
months, in which time it has positively demo n
strated the fact that mails from New York and
Philadelphia, as well as Chicago and the far
West can be delivered in Portland, Bangor and
the eastern part of this state twelve hours ear
lier than by any other route, and do not require
any carriage at all.
The Southern mail from Philadelphia, Wash
ington and points farther south, Low makes, as
has been stated, bat one transfer, and that is at
Putnam, Conn, where the Philadelphia and
Washington line, which runs through cars from
New England to Washington, meets the cars of
the Portland and Worcester line. The mails
are transferred at the same station and they
make close connections. The great western
mail now comes east via the tunnel, and makes
close and sure connection with the Portland
and Worcester line at Aver Junction, and the
| transfer is made without carriage, both roads
using the same station. The New York and
| Albany and way mails now go to Boston and
are carted across that city. They could be
| transferred at the Union station in Worcester
| and reach this city much earlier and cheaper
than by the present arrangement.
