its connections were fully completed, and while
it was comparatively unknown. The road is

A BIG CoMPLMENT.-The Boston Herald of
yesterday has this to say for Mr.. Davis o. this
city:
1t may now with safety be claimed that M.
f. Davis of Portland is the greatest sculler of
his weight in America, if not in the world, as
when he steps into his boat in condition he tips
the beam at 125 pounds Those who have here
tofore been 10th to give Davis credit for his ex-
ce,ence. and have charged him with being an
inferior and over-rated oarsman, must be Coz
WINGED BY this time that they wers either gross
ly ignorant of the mans abilities, or were act
uated In defamlng his charaster by some me-
tive of emnity past ordinary conception.
Davis is nothing if not scieutifc and practical.
He drew the lines for the boat in which he
rowed his last race, and the craft was modelled
under his personal supervision, and and in &C.
cordance with Davis instructions by a builder
named Stevens of Bath The oars, also. were
different from those ordinarily used, and were
made under Instructions from Davis. He has
never yet lost siDgle-scull race, either as anne.
teur or professional, and Is really "a big little
man.

given to him to become their castor, at salary

ton they accord to him the fullest liberty 10
preach his own doctrines and to retain his
present position as an orthodox minister. We
understand that in the few sermons Mr.. Car
penter has delivered in this historical church,
his genius and pulpit eloquence has completely
won the hearts of the members of this parish,
hence this unanimous call and liberty to preach
his own convictions as Congregational minis
ter. The many friends of Mr.. Carpenter in
this state will hear with pleasure Of his success
in church whose members still retain fond
of the eloquence of their old pastor.
