NORTH YARMOUTH.
Annual Session of the Cumberland Mu-
steal Association.

The Cumberland Musical Association held
its annual session on Wednesday and Thurs
day at Walnut Hill Congregational church,
and though the lowering clouds must have
prevented many from attending on "Wednesday
and Thursday mornings, yet there was full
attendance from the adjoining towns and Port
land The convention was called to order by
the president, Mr.. Plummer, of New Glouces-
ter, and Mr. J. t. Merrill, of Gray, was the
unanimous choice for director, to whom the
thanks of the convention are due for the eff
Gent and faithful performance of his duties.
The concert on Thursday evening is said by
those who have participated in the annual con-
certs previous to this to have been the best the
association has ever given.
The music furnished by the Yarmouth Band
was an acquisition to the occasion that was
highly appreciated by every person in the au-
dence, and certainly Prof. Blanchard, the
leader, has achieved a success of which he has
reason to be proud.
Among the solo singers who are deserving OF
notice from the association for their assistance
in the concert are Mrs. Kale Knight of Fall
mouth, whose abilities as soloist on such oc-
casions are too we'll known to require further
comment, except to say that she acquitted her
self with her usual degree of success. Miss
Louise Baldwin of Lewiston performed two
solos very artistically, and won applause from
the audience, as did also Miss Merrill OF Fal-
mouth, who displayed remarkable compass o.
voice for one of her age. Mrs. Jordan OF far-
mouth performed a solo with her usual success
and to the qualification of her friends.
1t is due to Mr. Noyes of Pownal TO make
mention of the fine instrument OF Estey S make
with which he furnished the convention, ana
at which Miss Ella Blanchard OF Cumberland
presided with her usual good taste.
The convention, at its business meeting,
made choice of the following officers for the
ensuing year:
President-Geo. w. Plummer.
Vice Presidents-John L. Merrill, Nicholas
Rideout, Sewall Whitney, John W. Munger
Recording Secretary-James Whitney.

A MAINE SCHOONER ROBBED
One Man Shot and the Mate Badly
Beaten.

A schooner lying at Red Hook Thursday
night was robbed of $500 in money and proper
ty by masked thieves. The schooner was the
Annie Palmer, of Bath. When the door was
burst in the mate seized his revolver and as
soon as the first pirate entered discharged the
contents of two barrels at him in rapid success
sion, one shot evidently taking effect, as the
man cried out, "My God, I'm shot, I'm done
for" A scuffle ensued in which the mate was
terribly beaten about the head and body He
and the captain were finally disarmed, when
the thieves proceeded to rob the vessel.

Good TenplarS.

The semi-annual session of the Maine Lodge,
held at Skowhegan last week was one of much
interest and affords another opportunity to
show the vitality Of this temperance organiza-
ton. Its methods Of work are being more
generally appreciated than ever by the most
pronounced temperance advocates in the
state.
Its work is to be prosecuted with great vigor
during the mex six months. The campaign
commences with six new lodges organized dur
ing the first week. The Grand Lodge officers
have the united support of the Order, and are
eminently fitted for their work. The Grand
Worthy Chief, A. j. Chase, Esq. of this city,
was reelected by large majority to that posi-
ton. The G. W. S., Geo. E. Brackett of Bel
fast, is serving out his fifth term and is an ex-
cellent officer. III. FL. Burbank, Esq. of Saco,
the G. w. t., most successfully manages the
finances of the Grand Lodge. Mrs. Hodgdon
of Waterville, has charge of the Juvenile
Temple department. and is doing good work
for the children.
The field for such work as this organization
is doing is still large, and there is no reason
why all temperance laborers cannot unite I'M
