Rev. Mr.. Sanborn of Marblehead, Mass, has
been rendered an invitation to become pastor
of the Central church in Yarmouth.
Miss Sarah Woodbridge Hooper died at the
residence of Mr.. Abiel Il. Somerby, No.
Park street, last evening, at the age of 81
years.
Miss freeman appears to shirk Miss May
Belle Sherman. Miss Freeman challenged
Miss Sherman some time ago, and although
the challenged party is supposed to have the
privilege of naming the place designated for
the walk, Miss freeman stated distinctly she
would not walk in Portland. Miss Sherman
named Portsmou th as the place. Now Miss
Freeman. through her brother, challenges May
Belle Sherman to walk 42 miles with her
for purse of 5000, each party stalking 500.
The walk must take place in Lowell or Law
renee, and Miss Sherman is required to forward
$50 within four days to some reliable man in
one of those cities, which will bs covered by,
Miss Freeman. The walk must take place
within 10 days from the signing of the articles.
Mr.. Freeman says that his sister will proba-
walk in Portland some time this winter.

this proposition stood SS to in favor of it, aud
was heartily made unanimous. A meeting of
the parish is called for next Monday evening to
take concurrent action, if possible, and there is
every probability that it will be. The church
is to be congratulated warmly upon this solu-
ton of its difficulties, DR.. Walker being man
of great force and ability in the pulpit and
strong personal character, holding the orthodox
faith with tenable liberality and virils faith.
Although he has declined some recent calls, it
is hoped that Springfield may not lie beyond
his sphere of usefulness.
