at the close of the lecture. He said
that the subject was new to him /; but
he expressed himself as in favor of the
objects of the Association.
Rev. j. M. Beattie of Ryegate, fol-
lowed with words of encouragement
The Anti-slavery movement was at one
time very feeble; but being right, and
having fearless advocates, finally gained
what it sought-the entire overthrow
of the system of slavery in the United
States. We have already many emf
nent and able advocates of our Religious
Amendment, and shall succeed.
Rev. j. C. K. Faris, Superintendent
of schools in Topsham, being present
was called for. He said he had not
come expecting to speak, but to hear.
He claimed that our schools need to re-
tain the Bible in order that children
may have an education that shall fit
them to be good and useful citizens.
This amendment is necessary to defend
school system against those who would
drive the Bible from it.
After others had endorsed the move
ment the meeting was adjourned by
PRAYER.

money here by raising strawberries and
shipping them to New York, if they
could only be got there in the right

The centre of the stand was trimmed
with orange trees and limbs hanging
full of the golden fruit. There was one
branch, three-fourths of an inch in
diameter, with 20 oranges upon it, and
another smaller, with Is. The "Bid-
we'll prize" oranges were about eight
ounces weight, very bright color, smooth
and round. He (BidwelD offered $50
as a premium for the best IL oranges,
he to have 100 buds from the tree. Hart,
Berham & Co., seedsmen, also offer
$25 for "best collection and display OF
vegetables raised by exhibitor" There
were six premiums offered for horses,
l3 for cattle, eight for sheep, four for
goats, and 10 for hogs-all diplomas.
All the exhibits in those lines that l
saw were two horses, two cows, one
steer, seven lots of swine, and no sheep
or goats. One horse was labeled "Mor-
gan, Jr." He would weigh about 1900
lbs, and looked as much like Morgan
horse, as the great OK, "Gen. Grant"
He looked more like some of those
horses that the Pennsylvania Dutchmen
used to run off and hide in the woods
in 1868, when Gen. Stuart was circulat-
ing around there. Yours truly,

/ the same Judgment and executive abIll-
ty that have given him his prominence
at the bar and in various public enter
prises, and, aided by the brilliancy and
editorial experience of ''Nasby," is max
ing great paper.
A set of mild, pleasant young men
they have down at Princeton College ;
a nice set for small tea party or a
theological seminary. 1t isn't many
months ago that they hilariously burn
ed up small lumber yard, and played
few other merry little jokes of kin
dred nature, which the citizens did not
fully appreciate, and which narrowly
escaped resulting seriously to the stu
dents and the institution. Some two
weeks ago a couple of these playful
youngsters belonging to the Sophomore
class got hold of Freshman, and, faith
full to college traditions, performed upon
of "hazing," with great vigor and
numerous variations. The Freshmen,
also conforming to tradition, got their
backs up at this tyrannical insult and
vowed revenge; in pursuance whereof
some dozen of them entered the rooms
of the offending "Sophs" the other night
with masked and blackened faces, and
after shaving the heads of their victims
and beating them black and blue, gag
ged them to prevent an outcry and re-
tired. The latter soon effected their
release from bonds and gags and rous-
ing their classmates gave chase. Com
ing up with their natural enemies, the
aggrieved SophomOres pulled out re-
vOlvers and began shooting. The Fresh
men blazed away in return and sue
ceeded in laying out "SOph" with a
serious and almost fatal bullet wound.
Such are the amenities with which
polite literature and the study of the
classics are varied at the brightest edu-
cational institutions in America.
A lively discussion is now under way
here in the press, the nature of which
would highly delight Mr.. Darwin were
he only here to witness, and perhaps
take hand in it. The proprietors of
the Aquarium, who are constantly ex-
tending the attractions of that institu-
ton by the accumulation of animal
wonders, something la Barnum of old,
recently imported from Africa pair of
chimpanzees, or man-mOnkeys, for ex-
hibition. The creatures do look almost
anu blC ioihS SOuShe
to take them from the vessel without
paying the customary duty on live ami
mails, on the ground that it was by no
means settled whether the upright and
tailless chimpanZees were the lowest
grade of men or the highest grade of
monkeys. Uncle Sam was trit1e stag
gered by this novel proposition, but
finally declined to put SO fine scien
titic point on the subject, and compelled
payment of the duty, under protest, by
the owners, who have since commenced
writing letters to the papers, half in
banter and half in earnest, supporting
the Darwinian theory, and drawing out
numerous replies which treat the Aqua
rum claims with various degrees of
seriousness. Meanwhile, people flock
to see the CRITTERS about which there
is so much dispute, aud so the astute
managers feel perhaps somewhat COM
pensated for the hardship which they
claim to have suffered. RADIX.

For the Caledonian.
National Reform Association.

The Caledonia County National Re-
form Association, which is auxiliary to
the National Reform Association, held
its annual meeting Gil Wednesday the
18th inst, at ii A. NJ, in the Reformed
Presbyterian church at South Ryegate.
The object of the National Reform
Association is. to secure an amendment
to the Constitution of the United States,
recognizing God as the Source of all
Authority in civil government, the Lord
Jesus Christ as the Ruler of nations,
and the Bible as the supreme law. The
Constitution makes no acknowledge
ment, whatever, that the nation owes
any obedience to the God of the Bible.
The Secularists, taking advantage of
this silence of the Constitution, make
the following, among other, demands {:
That Chaplains be no longer employed
in Congress, in State Legislatures, in
the navy or in the army, in prisons, in
asylums, or in any institution supported
by public money: That all religious
services now sustained by the govern
ment be abolished, and especially, that
the use of the Bible in the public schools
shall be prohibited That there be no
more national nor state fasts and thanks
givings: That no oaths be admins
tered in the courts nor in any depart
ment of the government That all laws
directly or indirectly enforcing the
observance of Sunday as the Sabbath,
be repealed.
In short, their demand is that Chris
tianity shall have no recognition in any
of the laws or customs and usages of
the government. They claim that all
such laws and usages are unconstitu-
tional, and therefore ought to be re-
pealed or discontinued.
The National Reform Association,
believing these Christian laws and GUS
toms to be right in themselves, and
that they are necessary to the prosperity
and the very lite of our nation, labors
so to amend the Constitution that we
shall have an undeniably legal basis for
these laws and customs.
The County Association elected of
ficers for the ensuing year and trans
acted its business in the forenoon. They
then took recess till one Pm. AT
that time there was a respectable audi
ence assembled to hear an address by
Rev. d. c. Faris, on the subject of ''Na-
tional Religion" The speaker claimed
that the principal manifestation of re-
ligion consists in the obedience of any
intelligent creature to the law of God
under which he has been placed that
God gives laws to nations as such, as
well as to individuals and that, there
fore, nations as such are religious Or
ganisms and should acknowledge the
law of God in the Bible, which addresses
individuals, families, churches and ma
tons, as Supreme law, and make its
laws in harmony with the Divine law.
National Religion consists in a nations
obeying every precept of the Bible
which is addressed to nations, just as
individual religion consists in the in
dividuaPs rendering obedience to those
precepts addressed to individuals,

! church of South Ryegate, was called on

tied how far well must be from house
drains, cesspOols, privy vaults, etc., to
be certain that NO poisonous matter
filters into it, but the deaths of four
citizens of Richford, and the very
serious illness of twenty or thirty others,
should put every one on their guard
against such deadly enemy. We be-

College Rumans.

We noticed last week the case OF
hazing in Princeton IN. j., college, and
the supposed fatal shooting of a sophie
more. 1t turns out that the wounded
man is not much hurt. The faculty
took hold of this matter with vigor, and
so students have been "disciplined,'
including eight sOphOmores expelled,
and peace reigns again although when
ten freshmen were sent away for hazing
the two sOphOmores, the entire sOpho-
more class of over 80 men, followed the
party to the depot with hostile intent,
both sides were armed with pistols and
clubs, and there would probably have
been a serious conflict but for the firm
ness of the college officials, including
President McCosh. The newspapers are
handling the college ruffians without
gloves. The Tribune says:
1t is evident that institutions of learn
ing need something more than new and
elegant buildings, or an erudite and in
dustriOus faculty, viz: sense of re-
sponsibility to the laws of the land. A
notion prevails that stealing is not
stealing, and malicious mischief no
more than peccadillo. When the per-
petratOrs are matriculated, they may
set fire to barns they may blow up the
college chapel; they may commit fell
onious assaults. If detected, they are
simply sent home. If ruffians outside
should do such things, they would be
indicted, convicted, and consigned to
state prison. Undergraduates in many
colleges have naturally gone from bad
to worse, until the civil magistrate will
be likely to interfere, unless the facul-
ties do their duty-the magistrate who
knows no difference between an incen-
diary named plain John Jones and an
other figuring in the college catalogue
us Charles Augustus Montgomery. The
error that a poicemau's authority stops
at the college gate, which exists in most
college towns, and that he cannot make
an arrest within the campus, is one
which the faculties themselves should
not encourage. If the misdeeds of dis
orderly students were confined to the
college grounds, there might be some
reason for this mistake, which but re-
Gently prevailed even in Harvard and
Yale. The law is Omnipotent every
where, and a disturber of the peace is
none the less so because he happens to
be Freshman or Sophomore.

cradle quantities, indicating with the
nitrates, the presence of nitrogenized
organic matter in state of oxidation
or decay, and showing conclusively the
nntitness of the water for drinking.

r. Boston and Massachusetts, and in
a sense the whole county, has been a
good deal excited over the Boston col
lectorship. Simmons has held the Office
for four years, and of course wanted a
new lease of it, and as he had in the
main filled the office well, both he and
his friends expected a reappOintment,
and made a very vigorous fight for it.
But oil Tuesday the President sent to
the senate the nomination of A. w.
Beard. d. w. Bartlett in his Wash
ington special says: "In no other case
has the President been so beset to max e
a reappointment as in that of Simmons.
No method known to the most skillful
machine politicians has been neglected
that could make influence for Simmons.
1t was a curious combination of nearly
all the elements opposed to the Presi-
dent and a small number of Republi-
cans who claim to be refOrmers.
The President has done no act since his
Inauguration which, in view of the ire
mendous pressure made upon him, has
given his friends here more lively salts
faction than the way he has dealt with
his nomination"
