different kind of buildings, and until he ha
them completed nothing definite can be done il
the matter. Another meeting will be called in
day or two when it is thought some definite
action will be taken.

On Saturday everiug last man represent
ing himself to be a cattle drover came to tbi
village and represented that he had 4sO ode
head of cattle en- route for this place to b,
kept over night, engaging hay for the same,
which was taken and spread on the grouuds Of
the West oxford Agricultural Society's en-
closure. He further represented that he had
meal at Brownfield and wanted it moved up
He quietly got out of sight and out of town
before it was found out that the whole thing
was hoax. The man is thought by some to
be insane, and by-others as a tramp. Whatever
he may be, he ought to be taken care Of and
save much trouble to honest people.

The following letter from the Rev. A. a.
Wright, pastor of St. Lawrence street church.
speaks volumes in praise of the Health Lift, a
system of physical exercise which is gro wing
in favor the more it is becoming known:
PORTLAND, April s. 1875
From long acquaintance with the Health
Lift. as a system of cumulative exercise, from
the beneficial results of its use in my own case,
and rom actu al knowledge of the benefit 9TH
ers have received who have used it system att
cally and perserverlngly, am prepared to add
nv testimony to its great value as simple,
safe and agreeable means of physical exercise,
for either man or woman. 1t will stimulate
the blood, induce healthy circulation, develope
muscular power and tone and strengthen the
whole system. Much more might be said in its
praise, but | will simply add that if persons of
sedeptary habits, like myself, who require
more exercise than they usually get, or find
time to take, will commence the use of the
Health Lift, and continue its use with perse-
verauce and regularity under Mr.. Gauoert's di-
rections and cautions, am satisfied they will
f0d the same cause have, to prize and praise
its excellence. REV. A. g. WRIGHT,

| CONGRESS STREET NJ E. CHURCH.-There is
quite an interest in this church at the present
time. Last Sabbath five united with the
church, three on profession of faith aud two
by letter. 10 the evening five went forward for
prayers. The finances Of the society are il a
better condition than for several years; four
thousand dollars are secured toward the pay
ment of the debt; one thousand paid down,
and the remainder will be paid in three annual
installments. Rev. VIM. M. Sterling closes
his pastorate in. two weeks, going to another
field of labor. He will bear with him the love
and esteem of all with whom he has become
acquainted during his stay IN our midst
The pastor and his wife were given pleasant
surprise party at the church vestry last even
ing. Mr.. Sterling was to go away for day or
two but be was indaeed to remain to attend q
social gathering at the church. When he
arrived there was large gathering and he was
most cordially greeted First came quatte.te
by four young ladies aud then dialogue. Mr..
W. g. Soule stepped forward and after few
remarks of Introduction presented Mr.. and
Mrs. Sterling with an elegant silver service,
inscribed as follows:
Me-. and Mrs. W. M. Sterling.
From
Congress Street M. E. Society,
April 8, 1878.
Mr.. Sterling was taken entirely BY surprise.
bat he recovered himself sufficiently to make
very appropriate reply. Mrs. w. G Chase
then presented Mrs. Sterling with damask
table cloth and a sum of money. Music and

bic evening to all present.
Mr.. STANwooD's SALIENT Franklin Stan
wood offers at public sale to-day at f. O. Bal
ley's auction rooms foriy-four paintings, among
them some of the best work of his brush. The
collection, which is jadciously hung, attracted
many visitors yesterday and called out not
few fatteripg comments. The works are of
unequal merit. The best of them would COM
mand attention anywhere, and should readily
gain purchasers. Mr.. Stanwood is of course
strongest in marine views, that being his spec-
ialty. Some of his marines are certainly re-
markable and of great and positive work. So
eminent an artist as Mr.. W. e Norton has not
hesitated to commend them as rare promise,
and has said that Stanwood could paint a ship
as well as himself. A look at the "Ready for
oed VIII JUSTLY tude oplnlou. luueeu IN some
of his work Stanwood has made loving study
of Norton, as the admirable copy, number %,
shows. Another fine marine, perfect in draw
ing, quiet and natural In color, and spirited in
motive, is the up Helm there" "a Stiff
Breeze" is another painting of decided merit,
noticeable for its large free handling Among
Others of great merit may be mentioned the
"Foggy Morning" and 'Backfriars' Bridge
and 81. Paul's in London Fog' Outside of
marines some good work too is to be found.
The "Sunset" is peculiarly praiseworthy for its
atmospheric effect. The tender gloom thrown
over the valleys appeals to the recollection of
all who have watched the long shadows of the
mountains at shutdown.
The sale begins this morning, and should
prove attractive.

CIeyeIand's Contribution

Being naturally modest We have not
said much of Cleveland's contribution
to the yellow fever sufferers of the
South. But as a few Of our neighbor-
ing owns have "opensd their doors
and reduced board' to the refugees,
we see proper to speak of it. 1t il a
noticeable fact that while Cleveland
did not "open her doors she opened
per pocket book to the tune OF over
$500; out Ofthis amOuEt 1855 has gone
to Chattanooga. 1t must be remember
ed slso that Cleveland is a small town.
We leave it to our neighbor towns 10
say which has done the most for the
sufferers-those that ''openet their
doors" and sent sympathies, or Cleye-
land with her money!
