Orngton and Camden, was installed pastor of
Pilgrim Church, Uphams Corner, Dorchester
Heights, Mass, Jan. 18th.
Rev. Geo. Leon Walkers withdrawal from
further relations to the church at Brattleboro
was not occasioned at all by the state of his
own health, which is better than for years
past. He is fulfilling preaching engagement
of some weeks duration in New York city.
Three of the Congregational churches in Deer
Isle are in ruins by the gale Of Thursday night

preached at Damariscot!a Mills Sunday, and
was taken i'll there with severe pain in the
SIDE. Growing rapidly worse he was conveyed
to his residence at Damariscotta, but continued
to sink until death ensued Monday forenoon.
The cause was heart disease. Mr.. Higgins re-
tired. about two years since, on account Of bis
health, from nearly half century of labor in the

The Mercantile Library room was filled last
evening at Mrs. Woolson's lecture on The Lake
School and Later Poets. The Lake School was
name applied to Wordsworth, Coleridge and
Southey from their locality, being among the
beautiful lakes of Cumberland and Westmore.
land counties. situated in the northwestern part
of England, and from their themes having been
drawn from humble objects. The greatest of
these three is Wordsworth. Coleridge be-
ing second and Southey last. Wordsworth's
poems had distinctive character his subjects
being taken from the most common things. He
was great admirer of nature, and his produc-
items reflected what he saw therein. His poems
were made light Of by people of his day,-in
fact were ridiculed; and it was not till about the
year 1860 that he was brought conspicuously be-
fore the world.
Coleridge was born in the southern part of
England. He was man Of broad mind. Asa
poet, we rank him below Wordsworth, bat he
far excelled him as q critic and conversational
ist. His writings teemed with the supernatu-
raj. lie was prevented from taking the highest
rank among the poets of his time by what may
be called laziness, also from the effects Of opium
eating, which weakened his will power. The
last nineteen years Of his life were spent in
London apart from his family, his wife and
child having been plaeed in the care Of his
friend Southey prior to his departure.
Southey's poems are little read today. He
was unfortunate iu the choice of his subjects
heather mythology forming majority of them.
His prose writings. however, are fine, promi-
nent among them being his Life Of Lord Mel
son. He died in 1913, seven years prior to the
death of Wordsworth At the latter part of
his life he received pension of $500 per an
mum from the government, and was also made
poet laureate.
In conclusion, Mrs, Woolson gave brief
criticism of the later poets, prominent among
which were Tennyson, Robert Browning, Mrs.
Browning and Jean Ingelow. Oar American
poets also received due notice and comment.
The lecture was deeply interesting, and was at
tentivelg listened to throughout.

cussed. The following preamble and resolve
was adopted by unanimous vote, and the Sec
rotary was directed to send copy to the seve.
raj members of our Maine delegation in Wash
ington and to such parties as have addressed
the various banks of this city ia rel ation to
united action:
The members of the Clearing House of Port

Banks of said city, feeling a great degree of
concern over the danger Of the passage of q
bill by Congress which will make silver dollars
of 4121 grains legal tender for all debts and a
measure of commercial operations in the Unit
ed States, do hereby
ReSOl0e, That such action, in our opinion,
would be a disastrous event for the business
prosperity of this country And furthermore,
that the step proposed is not measure OF good
faith towards those who have bought our ma
tionsl securities upon represented gold basis
We therefore unite with this action of the
New York BANKERS and the bankers in other
cities, in a request that the delegation from this
state, now in Congress, may use all honorable
means to defeat any scheme that looks towards
national dishonor.
