karmtn gtOn LOCALS
Tuesday evening of last week, shortly after six
o'clock, the alarm of fire sounded on our streets,
proceeding from the western part of the village
Very soon it was discovered that the house owned
by Mrs. Belcher Stewart was all ablaze. The
building was situated on q hill, and the wind,
which was blowing strong at the time, famed the
flames to such an extent that it was impossible to
save anything except some of the moveabcs.
Mrs. Bechers insurance was about twelve hun
dred dollars. j. NJ. Davis occupied the lower
part. lis insurance was three hundred.
The Skowhegan Dramatic Company will give
an entertainment in Drummond Hall on
the evening of Washington's birthday, Thurs
day Feb 22d.
The pastors of the Congregational and Free
Baptist churches are attending the meetings of
Moody and Sankey in Boston.
And now they are discussing whether it is best
to close the town agency or not There is di-
versity of opinion as usual, and as there must be
something to argue on, this affords a harmless
recreation.
The Reform club still continues in the work
which it commenced about year ago. It's
wonderful what change this organization has
brought about. Rarely is drunken man seen
upon our streets, where formerly day scarcely
passed without witnessing several glorious speci
mems. If those who have made good resolutions
will keep them, and urge others who have been
in the habit of taking something occasionally, to
do the same, prospe rity and happiness will be the
reward

Winthrop Locals.

There was q pablic exhib lion at the Baptist
church at East Winthrop, on Friday evening the
10th inst. The scholars and teacher Of that D's-
trict were the participants. The church was
densely crowded. there being about fifty persons
present from West Winthrop village. The
scholars of the present generation at the cast
village have never had Oh exhibition Of the kind,
and consequently were inexperienced, but they
surprised all, aud gave a splendid entertainment
The teacher Frank II. Smith, gave excellent sat
isfacIion. Indeed the people of the district say
they never had so good school before.
Mrs. Hunt Of Indiana, spoke to the people Of
Winthrop in the town hall on the evening Of the
18th inst, on the subject of temperance. The
hall was literally crammed. Tue address was
very interesting and influential.
The interest in temperance was never better.
The President seems to throw enthu siasm into it,
and un tie all factions. The Ladies Aid Society
are to ho levee in week or two. They seem
to succee better than the club did. The ladies OF
Winthrop always accomplish what they undertake,
and when they start, all opposers tremble and
surrender.
There seems to be quite religious interest now
in Wnthrop,-the traits of the Lynn Praying
band and the Reform club.

Kennebec Bible Society.

From the report of the Treasurer of this socie-
ty. David Cargil, Esq, we learn that the cash do
nations to the society since the animal meeting
last year, have been $4l4 93 books donated to the
poor, from tho depository, '$ll2.42; expenses of
Bible Depository, for agent, rent, freight. &C.,
$jO0s9; amount of books disposed of in three
years, $9l4.39.
But little help has been rendered the Treasurer
in carrying forward the work of the Society. An
agent was engaged to canvass the county but as
he was running the society into debt, he closed
his labors after l49 days work. At the present
time there is much need of some one to take the
Word and seek out and supply the destitute in
Kennebec county. While not much work has
been done in Bible distribution, the depository has
been kept well supplied at all times with desirable
copies Of the Bible and books Of the Bible so that
ali who wished could get the Word at cost, and
sometimes below cost. The books now en- hand
at the depository in this city, are in excellent con-
ditiou, and of such variety as to enable all to get
such o. they may desire.
