How to Burn Ccal.

a very common mistake is made and
much fuel is wasted in the manner of re
p!enishing coal fires in furnaces and CRATES.
They should he fed with 4 little coal at :,
time, and often but servants, to save time
and trouble, put on a great deal at once, tn,
first result being that all the heat is absorb.
ed by the newly put on coal, which does no,
put ont heat until it becomes red hot.
Hence, for n while the room is cold, but
when it becomes fairly uglow the heat is
insufferable. The time TO replenish n coal
DIRE is as soon as the coal, begin to show
ashes on the surface then put on merely
enough to show n layer Of black coal cover
ing the red. This will soon kindle, and, as
there is not much of it. an excess of heal
will not be given out Many also put out a
fire by stirring the CRATE as o as fresh
coal is put on, thus leaving oil the heat in
the ashes when it should be sent to the new
supply OF coal. TIT time to stir a fire is
when the new coal laid on is pretty well
kindled. This method Of managing u coal
hre is troublesome, but it saves fuel, gives
n more uniform heat, and prevents the dis
comfort OF alterations Of heat and cold
above referred to.

FAIRFIELD, March IL.
Sunday was grand day for the Reform Club
of this village, it being the third anniversary
of their organization.
All of the churches were closed and our
people filled the hall full, many being obliged
to return home, not being able to get within
hearing distance. The speakers were from
this and adjoining clubs, those whom We
always enjoy hearing. The exercises were held
throughout the day and evening, the interest
increasing to the last.
A number OF signers were secured to the
iron. clad pledge, and deeper interest awaken
ed in the hearts of all in the grand work of
mastering our appetites.
This club has done grand work in the past,
not only in reclaiming numbers of our own
best cltizeps, but in elevating and strengthen
ing public opinion and bringing all classes to
put truer estimate upon sober, upright
man. Aud the work has not been confined to
this village, but the members of this club have
visited almost every town within radius of
twenty miles and helped organize and
strengthen this same noble work. Every call
has been promptly responded to by our true
hearted and earnest workers, who in their own
salvation from rum fed their hearts filled with
determination to help others.
We are glad to be able to report the work Of
this club, for We are helped daily by its infu-
ence, and we hope the time will bs far distant
when its labors will cease. SETH.

Cumberland,

The Union Hall Company, Cumberland
Centre, will dedicate their new hall Thursdsy
evening, March 21st with appropriate dedica-
tory exercises consisting of an address BY Rev,
7. S. Perry, instrumental and vocal music un-
der direction of Prof E A. Blanchard, supper
and other refreshments by the ladies of Cum
berland. In brief all the accompaniment of
an old fashioned levee.
The building now contains two halls, one
above the other. The upper one is 2Ox36 feet.
and has two ante-rooms adjoining thoroughly
finished and furnished. 1t is to be occupied by
the Good Templars, Farmers Club and the
weekly village prayer meeting, thus affordlng
a neat and commodious apartment for small
gatherings without the inconvenience of
warming and lighting large hail. The main
hall is very beautiful room. The general
direction of the woodwork was under the care
of Mr.. W. L. Wilson of Cumberland, who has
performed the whole job in a chaste and
workmanike manner. The mouldings. in
finish and style, are worthy of special com-
memdaton. The whole is modern and tasty
in appearance.
The audience room is 36x34 feet and Is IL
feet in height, and has fine stage, suitable for
dramatic, literary and musical purposes 34x1S
feet. At the opposite extremity of the hall is
large gallery which will increase the seating
capacity of the hall to about 400.
This main hall is elegantly painted and
grained in oil by Mr.. Cad Hitchcock of
Yarmouth. Unlike most work of the kind, it
is a good representation of oak and black
walnut and reflects much credit upon Mr.. 81.
who knows how to do work on the square.
II is the design of the Company to lot this
large hall for any public pHrpose, such as fairs
assemblies, concerts, societies, riding-parties,
ETC., etc.
The Cumberland Dramatic Club have good
set of stock scenes and fixtures which they
will let in connection with the hall
The old unsightly interior of this building
has disappeared, and in its place stands one of
the pleasantest audienee-rooms in the country.

The trip of detective McCausland to the

An unoccupied house on Broadway, in Orono,
was burned Tuesday morning. The property

The town of Greenfield, says the Bangor
Commercial, is in trouble over what appears to
be serious dedication of funds belonging to
the town. AT town meeting nearly year
ago committee was appointed to investigate
the matter but the committee was not compe-
tent for the purpose and MIR. @. A. Bailey, an
Oldtown lawyer, has been recently called to
more thoroughly investigate the matter. 1t is
reported that the books do not show any re-
ceipt of funds for several years, while in that
time about $4,000 has been paid from the state
treasury to the town. 1t is said that two men
who have acted as selectmen, Bartlett White
and Matthew White, are responsible for it.
There is no question but what the money hal
been received, and the question that remains tx
be settled is whether it can be satisfactorily &C
counted for. The people are considerably ex

REVIVAL MEETINGs.-At the First Free
Baptist church last evening there was not
wanting of numbers to compose well filled
house. At the beginning of the services there
was singing by the chorus choir under the lead
of Mr.. Frank Bowdoin, portions of the scripture
were read, and prayer offered by Rev. Mr.. Per-
kins, the pastor. The choir sang congregation
song No. Al, ''Zion's Rock Abiding" By rea-
son of sickness, Rev. Mr.. Day of the nj. E
church on Chestnut street, who was engag-
ed ato speak, was detained. The pas
tor accordingly took the stand and spoke from
the words in Il'Pet. 3:9-"Not willing that any
should perish, but that all should come to re-
pentance." The speaker began by saying that
we were here for short time, and soon to go
hence. Speaking of the needful preparation,
the willingness of Christians, that if they could
have their way all would be saved; this is their
desire, much more SO Gods desire, but the hu-
man will stand in the way; they, the uprecon-
ciled, will not let God have his way, and SO
save them, thus of their own free will choosing
to be ubsaved Christians sending the Gospel
to all lands is proof that God would have the
people saved. he sends the means. Offering
daily the prayer "Thy will be done, Sc, )" if
we would do as this prayer implies, let his
will be done, our salvation would be complete.
Close attention was given throughout, and he
closed by exhorting them to abandon sin, and
while in health obtain Intelligent repentance.
There was no satisfaction in SHINING against
God. Happiness comes from doing his will.
Mr.. Bowdoin's rich, heavy voice in solo was
highly entertaining to the audience. An invi-
tation was given for religious conversation, and
a large number remained, after the singing of
