At the meeting yesterday we were IA
vored with an address by Rev. Mr.. Wood
bury. aud seldom have we ever listened to
. more logical and a clearer and a more
comprehensive illustration of the effect OF
alchohol. not only upon the mental. moral
and physi system OF man. but. also upon
his spiritual aud immortal nature.
The hall was nearly full aud the closest
attention was given to the convincing ar
guments and conclusive Ideas, as presented
by the speaker.
The Bible Readings at the Congrega-
tional vestry. in the evening, conducted by
Rev. Mr.. Hardy, were OF uncommon inter-
est. The room was well filled, aud all
seemed deeply interested and well pleased
with the Interesting services.

Supt. Of Lights at Ellsworth. under date
of Jan. "a, 1873. in substance AS follows -
The gale OF the 10th instant was very
heavy here. The bell tower was knocked
over by the waves which swept over
the Rock. and the bell was SO much dam
aged by the fall that it will have to be
taken away to be repaired. There were
only two short sticks of the tower VIII ich
were left unbroken, and part of it is miss
ing. The tower, as you will remember,
was East of the house; il now lies in a
worthless heap on the South side where
1t wa borne by the force OF the waves.
The Lighthouse itself was hot damaged
except that the iron ventilators in the
basement were broken. With the excep.
lion Of small spot on the Northwest end.
the sea swept over the entire surface OF the
island; but no damage was done to the
Statioa other than that stated above.

pected 10 talk. Miss Bailey, = student. and
Miss Trecarten, Preceptress at the Semi

some facts which came under her own

doing q noble work.
Sunday, T. NJ, Rev. William Forsyth,
and Rev. W. W. Marsh, spoke earnestly
on the temperance question. Report says
that Mr.. c. J. Cobb, gave US the best
speech Of the hour. But few persons real
ize the benefit of the Reform Club work in
this place. Financially, a sober, industri-
Gus man is a producer, instead OF con.
sumner, merely. The Ladies' Aid relieve
many families. which would otherwise be
compelled to ask aid from the town. So.
cially the influence on the man. the family.
and especially on the children cannot be
estimated In dollars and cents. Educa-
tionally, young men called upon. speak
timidly at first, Afterwards with steadily
increasing power, until they command the
attention Of any audience. Add to this.
the habit of taking q decided. public stand
on the temperance question, and the i'm
portance Of our Sunday afternoon meetings
can be approximately understood.
Last week we published a compunica-
ton of special correspondent upon the
treatment OF child in Bucksport which
| treatment vas said to be rather severe.
We know that our correspondent Is .
tender hearted person and would not under
any circumstance be willing to do any in-
| justice to any, nor are We. Therefore we
wish it understood that the communication
referred to. should be considered As the
out growth Of an excited community over
what may be exaggerated reports. When
the true facts 10 the case are proved, we
will be glad to publish them and we hope
they will show that the accused parties are
inaocent- Ed.
