A New Market House.

Mr.. Edator,-I see by the Daily PRESS Of the
9Th that an order was offered in the Common
Council instructing the committee on public
buildings to advertise for propo .als for build
ing market house, which order was laid upor
the table. 1 remember when the Old City
Hall was built it was streuuously urged that the
ground floor would most be proftably employ.
ed as market house, the rent of which would
pay the interest and more, of the whole cost oil
the building.
1t was really thought by large part of our
people that a market there would be most
convenient thing. The entire ground floor OF
the building was in fact fitted up with market
stalls in the most approved style. This lasted
however but little while, as it was found that
the former practice in town was far better and
more convenient, vlz:-The keeping of provis-
ion shops all over town in every neighborhood
within few minutes walk from every house
hold.
The new market house very soon did not
draw, and it was proposed in city council to
prohibit the sale of meats except at the market
house, because the stalls were being abandon
ed by their occupants, aud in few years, only
the purpose of holding the land, the time of
which was supposed to depend upon the mark
ct house, The experiment with that market
house was thoroughly and fairly tried; there
was and is no shop in town so convenient as
that, and the. fact was abundantly established
that market house is not wanted in this town
because our present accommodations in that
department are far more convenient than any
central market can possibly be.
Ii the city would propose to give the site of
the Old City Hall to any parties on condition
that good and substantial market building
should be erected there for that purpose and no
other, do not think the proposition would be
accepted. am sure that am not mistaken
IN thinking that a market house at whatever
cost, would in the smallest de gree add to the
comfort or convenience of our people, while the
city is in no condition just now to expend a
dollar without clear necessity. The interests
of the city clealy require the most rigid econo-
my in every department of expenditure.

MAN MIssING.-Matthey Foy, who has been
in the city bat few days, was reported last
night at the police station as missing, and
from circumstances connected with the case, it
is supposed that he may have been murdered,

quite large sum. Foy is understood to have
left his boarding place on Washington street
Saturday, without saying anything about
intending to leave except to walk around the
city, as was his habit. He commenced drink.
ing, and when last seen Saturday night about
IL o'clock was very drunk. he was on
Chatham street at that time, and was seen by
some boys who say that he had hurt his hand
and was bleeding badly. He had bled more
than two quarts, is what one Of the boys is
reported as saying. This was the last seen of
Matthew Foy. He left all his things at the
place where he stopped, and would not if alive
have kept away so long. The most careful
search has been made by his friends for him,
and last-night 10 despair they applied to the
police station for assistance. There is little
room for hope of ever seeing him alive again.
The following is the description given of him:
Foy is about 90, about 8 feet s inches tall,
weighs about $50 pounds. Had on blue pants,

Fryeburg as a SUM er Rest IT.

This beautiful village has for few years
past increased in popularity and especially
with Portland people has become famous as a
summer resort. Situated on the Portland &
Ogdensburg Railroad, near the banks of the
Saco river, with its wide and we'll shaded
streets. its handsome dwellings, churches and
hotels, and by its commanding scenery-it is
one of the most desirable places in which to
spend summer vacation. Visitors always
admire its beautifnl drives stretching out from
the village into squares of from one to twenty
miles, passing through pine groves by woods,
fields, ponds, brooks, and along sparkling
rivers. One point which makes Fryeburg so
desirable as summer resort is the many and
varied points of interest within circle of ten
miles. The remarkable beauty of Fryeburg
and its surroundings, has always been source
of admiration to visitors. and only the lack of
requisite accommodation has hitherto pre-.
vented its becoming one of the most popular
summer resorts. Its splendid farms, its ponds
and streams abunding in fish, its beautiful
drives, its forests of fragrant pine, its streets of
lofty shady elms, and above all, its &C.
knowle1ged healthy location-are certainly un-
surpassed in New England. To meet the
requirements of city guests, numerous board
ing houses are now being opened within and
outside of the village limits, while the Oxford
House has lately been thoroughly refitted and
refurnished, remodeled and extensive additions
built, which, with its fine location in the centre
Of the village, surrounded as it is by pleasant
grounds. and commanding ore of the finest
mountain and landscape views in New Eng
land-supplies the want SO long felt for a
fitting summer house in Fryeburg. We I'm.

residence at Fryeburg for the summer, and we
would advise our friends who are anticipating

The Sunday Question.

The text Mark, II.27) used By the pastor Of
the Park street church last Sunday to prove the
Sunday Sabbath binding from Bible stand
point would lead us to enquire, when was the
Sabbath made for man? We are told that "the
Sabbath was instituted for the Jews and not
for the world" hardly see how this can be
as the Sabbath was made at Creation-more
than 1000 years before the Jews existed (Gen.
2. 3. If the Sabbath was made for man when
man was made, think the term man must
mean the whole human race, and not simply
the Jew man. This being the case, then the
original seventh day Sabbath must be binding
as long as man continues to exist. We are told
that Sunday was not appointed by spe cial
divine command, it arose in the development
of natural want, an inherent necessity and
therefore, Sunday observance is His appoint
ment who made our natures to need it," 1t is
true that the All Wise Creator did foresee that
man would need day of rest and He did pro-
vide for this want by sanctifying His wn rest
day and bidding man observe it as a memorial
of Creation. 1t is not reasonable to suppose.
however, that God would suffer the customs of
men to change the letter of divine behest and
then sanction that change himself. The
no dependence on the commandment of the
Decalogue." Would he dare take the position
that no commandment of the Decalogue is
binding? If one is binding they all are, (Jam.
2. 1O.) The Fourth Com mandment does not
read Remember one day in seven to set
apart" 1t says "rhe seventh day is the Sab.
bath of the Lord thy God" Who shall say
that our God is not a particular God? Does
He say one thing and mean another?
In these days of reform would it not bs we'll
for the church to hold up to the world ''thus
saith the Lord for every moral question they
advocate? 1t is possible that the Protestant
churches may yet have clinging to their gar
ments some of the error inculcated during the
ages Of papal darkness. If Sunday is Catho-
lie institution and not divine heheSt think
our Catholic friends can we'll reproach Profess
tauts for not observing other days ordained by
by their church. Ii the seventh part of time
theory is true then the law is uujlst that forces
the Jew to close his shop on one of his work
ing days. The Jew can, in the face and eyes
of Christian community, hold up the Bible in
defense of his Sabbath; but the protested Chris
tian in defending his rest day is obliged to re-
sort to history and to make large discount on
the word of God. The Sabbath question is des-
tined soon to be extensively agitated and truth
will triumph at last, even though radical
Sabbath reform is called for. READER.

rooms with dense, sulphurous smoke. Crops
were beaten to the ground and considerable
damage done. In the north part of the town
