FIRST BAPTIST CONCERT.
The Weber Quartette Club of Colby Univer-
Fsity gave very pleasant concert at this church
last evening. They all have good voibes,
which blend tremendously, and their various
selections were exceedingly well rendered.
There was good sized and enthusiastic au-
dience in attendance.
There was a capital mingling of the grave
and gay, and the frequent encores gave oppor-
tunity to render some thoroughly harmonious
pieces. We understand that the club are to
give concert in Saccarappa this evening. and
we hope they will have, as they deserve,
crowded house.
swEDENBoRGIAN ENTERTAINMENT.
The first of a series of six entertainm ents
was given at the new church vestry last even
ing. 1t consisted of a series of scenes from
Dickens best novels, which were well dressed
and arranged, and given with much dramatic
effect. Some of the characters were admirable.
The vestry was filled. and it was q financial
success while the audience were highly enter
tanned.
DIPLOMACY.
We trust our readers will see to it that the
Boston Museum Company is greeted with
full and appreciatiye audience at Portland
Theatre tomorrow night. AS we have said
before, the play, well acted, is one of absorb
ing interest and cannot fail to please all lovers
of good acting.

The Senatorial Vote in York,

1t appears to be generally assumed in the
Augusta dispatches that if the vote of Kittery
at the September election should be excluded
for alleged insufficient notice of tie town
meeting, the Senatorial representation of the
county would be changed. This is not the
case. Mr.. Emery received the least number
of votes for Senator on the Republican ticket,
and Mr.. bennett the greatest number on the
Democratic ticket Subtracting the Kittery
vote for these candidates from the county vote
and we have the following result:

plurality of 100, and the other Republican can
ddates, of course have still larger pluralt les.

SUICIDE East Portland Call gives
the following account of the death of lady
who lived opposite Vancouver on the Co.
lumbia slough: On Friday last Miss Susan
Jones, aged about "a years, and residing
about five miles north OF East Portland, on
the slough committed suicide by Jumping
into cistern. The deceased for some time
past has shown signs of dementia. On
Thursday last she climbed to the top of the
house and endeavored to Jump oil, from
which she was, however prevented. On
the same day she attempted to eat some
glass Yesterday she seated herself at the
table, drank cup of coffee, got up, went
over to an adjoining house, pulled off her
shoes, uncovered the cistern and jumped in.
Insanity is the cause assigned for the rash
act. and her untimely end was probably
fastened by her grief at the absence of a
little boy, to whom she was greatly at
tached, who was taken away from the house
by her step-mother.

years, has been re.appointed for term Of

all the way through to Lewiston on her. and
says she took the rapids as if they had been
so much slack water. From Wallula to
Lewiston she beat the Gates best time at
least seven minutes to the hour and proved
herself goer. She is now under command
of Capt. James Troup, with Captains w.

Easter In Vancouver.

st. Lukes Church was beautifully decor
ated with flowers by the young ladies, for
the Easter Festival. The sentence, "Now
is Christ risen," cut in large ornamental let
tiers, was extended across the chancel, and
added very much to the appearance of the
church. Two very fine chars had just been
placed in the chancel, the funds for which
were raised by the Sunday School. A
''prothesis, or credence bracket, was also
placed in the chancel. This is made of
Alaska cedar, of elaborate workmanship by
the skillful hand of Gen. Sawtelle. To him
is the church also indebted for the beautiful
sentence mentioned above.
The services of the day commenced with
an opening piece by the choir, and was well
rendered, as was also all the music OF the
day. The congregation was very large
nearly all the sitting room being occupied.
The collection was for Diocesan Missions,
and amounted to S23.
At 3P. NJ. the Sunday School held fes-
tival at which there was very large at
tendance. The teachers and scholars TO the
number of 20 formed in procession at the
Parish school-room, and with the Rector in
surplice at the head, marched to the church,
the choir singing Coward Christian Sol
diers," passing up the aisle on the right side,
across in front of the chancel, down the
aisle on the left side, and up the center aisle
to their seats. Banners We're borne by the
several classes, which had been tastefully
designed and worked under the direction of
Mrs. Sawtelle The emblens and notices
on the banners were as follows Mr.. Fletch-
er's class, emblem of the cross and the
motto young soldiers of the cross. Under
this standard thou shalt conquer" Mrs.
Middletons class-star, |. II. $. and "Chil-
dren of the light" Mrs. Sawtelle's class
the Church" Mrs. Fletcher's class-a shep-
herds crook and ''The lambs of the fold.
am the Good Shepherd" Mrs. Mich
olson's class-a cluster of grapes, and "The
young cleaners"
After recting the creed and reading suit
able collects by the Rector, Mr. Fletcher
read very appropriate and well prepared
address to the children. Then each class
presented its offerings that had been col
lected during the Lenten season, the Rector
reading the mottos on the banners, the class
text and the amount of the offering. then
placing the offering upon the altar. After
the presentation by each class, an appro-
pirate hymn was sung. The whole sum col.
lected was S37 SO, which was for the general
Missionary Fund of the Church. After the
presentation Gen. Howard made some well
chosen remarks to the school, The Gloria
in Excelsis was then sung and the service
closed with the benediction
