Arrested for Receiving Stolen Goods.

A man named Moulton, who lives in the
suburbs through his counsel, made complaint
at the station that goods stolen from him by
his wife were suspected to be in pawn at Mr..
Schryver's store, and asked assistance to ascer-
tain and recover them. 1t should be explained
that Moulton is living apart from his wife and
has applied for divorce. Officer Hanson was
sent to Schryvers and asked Schryver TO allow
him to look at the goods. Schryver declined.
The officer told him then he must 60 to the sta

Hanson would have to get another officer to-
help him. Hanson reached over the counter,

OFFICE, CANTON, Me-, Aug. 30, 1879
My DEAR SIR.-.I beg leave to acknowl-
edge the receipt of the very friendly note in
behalf of the employees of the Rumford Falls
with the beautiful gold headed cane presented
to me last evening by you in their behalf.
For the unexpected testimonial of respect, L
beg to tender to you and them my heartfelt
thanks.
The gift will be placed among my choicest
treasures and will ever be valued by me most
highly because 1t has proceeded, as you assure
me, from grateful and willing hearts.
/ also thank you most cordially for the very
complimentary terms in which you say have
been beld by the employees of the road.
1t has ever been my constant study to Sc
cure the confidence of all those who have been
employed under m. charge. There is no bust
ness where harmony and mutual confidence are
so much needed as in the working of q rail-
road.
The very regular manner in which the trains
have been run from the opening of the road,
July 18th, 1878 to the close of August 1879,
with no accident, shows that not only the men
in charge of them, but the section-men and
agents have performed their part of the duty
faithfully and promptly.
I beg you to make known to those you rep
resent that am deeply sensible of their kind
ness and respect. | am, Dear Sir,
Yours truly. S. T. CoRsER.

WATERvILLE, Sept. 8.
Yesterday morning dawned dark and cloudy,
and the rain fell in torrents. The people at
an early hour met in the pavilion, and Mrs.
White gave the church some plain talk The
meeting was not calculated for outsiders your
reporter, however, was given seat and listen
ed with some curiosity to the lady's pointed
remarks. Nothing was said that would in any
manner tend to lower the standard of Chris
tianity.
In the afternoon temperance meeting was
held in the Mission tent. Much business was
transacted in connection with the state organ
ization. Immediately after this a session of
the Sabbath School Association was held.
Reports and resolutions were read, and dis
cussions concerning the management of Sab
bath Schools carried on. Much interest was
manifested in this branch of the work.
No public meetings proper were held until
evening. At 7.3O Elder Butler gave his fare
well address before taking the evening train
for Vermont. His subject was "The true prin-
ciple of obedience to God" Fear was shown
to be an unworthy motive. God wants willing
service. We should obey Him because we
love Him The goodness of the Lord was
dwelt upon, and His tender love to the children
of men portrayed with thrilling words Trials
were referred to, as being part of the disci-
plne of life, given in order to perfect charac-
ter. The necessity of being cheerful and
happy under all circumstances was dwelt
upon. The speaker closed with the remark:
81 want to get you all to praising God more.
II you praise him here, by and by you will
praise Him with immortal tongues forever"
The meeting was closed by singing praise
God from whom all blessings fow''
At one time during the service the rain was
so violent upon the roof of the canvas meet
ing house, that the speaker was obliged to
stop few moments, his voice being drowned
] by the noise of the elements. He remarked
that there was no danger of the congregation
leaving. Good attention was given to the ser
mon notwithstanding the tumult above.
