a short article appeared in last weeks
Christian Mirror, setting forth the need of a
city missionary here in Portland. Having
been resident of Portland many years and
knowing as 1 do by observation and experience
our religious wants as a people, allow me
through your paper to most cordially endorse
this movement. 1t is exactly what we want.
The fruitful grain is dropped in the furrow
not on the hill top. Every man knows that
the worlds work is done, that our religious
and benevolent enterprises are carried on, not
by few men of genius, but by steady every
day work; hard work of average men. What
we need is to bring the pulpit and the pen
nearer together. What we need is to get rid
of the idea OF reaching the gospel down to the
people as if with pair of tongs. The advan-
tage of seeing man at his own home at his
shop, at his store, is an advantage that is not
half used for the plain reason that we often
lack the suitable men and money. When we
have man and can raise the money let us by
all means do it. What we need is a more
widely diffused and highly developed Chris
tianity. 1t is saying among business men
that there is a difference between talk and
business Last night, (AIonday), at Rossini
Hall, here in Portland, the Congregational
Club met to talk over the present relation of
the church to the masses After they ate their
supper, and talked, and speechifed, and dis
cussed the subject of reaching the masses, if
they had each gone home and quietly raised
little money, (say one hundred dollars, from
each church, that would be business way,
practical way, an effective way, of reaching
the masses certainly for one year to come.

Narrow Escape of the Ocean House.
A fire occurred in Cape Elizabeth yesterday
morning which narrowly escaped proving the
most disastrous confagration that town has
suffered from for years. AS it was, the fire
was of most serious character, causing loss
of $1,000; with an insurance of only $780,
The Ocean House, it is we'll known, is
owned by Col. Nichols, and is very large
summer hotel, occupying spacious plot Of
ground situated about eight miles from the
city at Bowery Beach. Within eighteen feet
OF the hotel proper is beautiful cottage,
erected and occupied by Col. Nichols, which
has recently been handsomely reftted. The
Colonel's family have been away, but were on
the eve of return, and only as late as Mon
day last Col. Nichols carried number of arti-
Giles out from the Preble House preparatory to
occupying the cottage for the summer. The
weather was so cold Monday night that yester-
day morning, before going out with his men to
cutice, he told one of his hands to keep a
good fire in the soapstone stove so the house
might be warm at night. This was about six
O'Clock.
Some time near nine o'clock one of the gang
who were storing ice in the ice house saw fire
bursting through the roof of the cottage near
the chimney. He gave the alarm and the men
and neighbors seized buckets and worked with
will to extinguish the flames. 1t was found
impossible to get into the second story owing
to the binding smoke and flames. 1t seemed
impossible to save the hotel the two buildings
were so near together, but neighbors and ice
men worked like Troians, Yokes of oxen
were procured and fastened to the burning
cottage, and the building with its piazzas act
ually ripped from its foundations and dragged
into an adjoining meadow, while the piazzas
OF the hotel nearest at hand were torn away.
By this means the hotel, valued at 500, 900, on
which there was 900 insurance, was saved.
The cottage was entirely destroyed. Col.
Nichols saved the clothes he stood in the
piano and a few books. All the valuable
knick -knacks collected in Europe, fine libra
ry, handsome carpets and furniture, and valu-
able wearing apparel, went up in the smoke.
There was an insurance of $500 on the house,
$1,000 in the Hartford of Hartford with Pal
mer, Dow q Anderson, and $500 in the Ian
cashire of Manchester, England, with Dow,
Coffin & Libby, besides $16C0 on the furni-
ture, piano and wearing apparel in the latter
company at the same agency.
Col. Nichols also had $3.50 in bills in the
pocket of pair of trowsers hanging in
closet which could not be reached and were
destroyed. In vain endeavor to get into the
second story to reach this property the Colonel
was almost smothered by smoke and narrowly
escaped injury.
Notwithstanding his severe loss above in
surance, which the Colonel places at not less
than $4,000 and possibly will reach $4,000, Col.
Nichols, with his usual pluck, declares that
the Ocean House will be run this summer at
its usual high standard of excellence.

TOWN ELECTIONS.
Alfred.

Alfred.
The town officers elected are all Republi-
cans. The majority was over so, gain of 40
over last year
Benton.
Benton has elected the straight Republican
ticket for the first time since the Greeley cam
paign.
Minot.
The Fusonists carried Minot, the same as
last year. Thomas B. Swan was elected Treas
urer. The result is large due to the fact that
the polling place being in the village, and the
large majority of Republicans living in the
extreme parts of the town, the terrible condi.
ton of the travelling deferred many from COM
ing to the polls. The fusonists refused to al
low the use of the check list. One fusionist
was seen to throw three votes at once So
says the Lewiston Journal correspondent.
Poland.
The election in Poland has proved COM
plete reputation of the State steal. The en-
tire Republican ticket was elected except mod
orator and supervisor of schools, to both Of
which offices David Dunn was elected accord
ing to immemorial custom. The Republican
ticket elected was as follows:
Selectmen-Virgil P. Waterhouse Orrin s Keene
and Alfred G. Thurlow.
Town Clerk and Treasurer-Charles Lane
The fusionists carried the election in Sep
TENDER by over forty. In this election the
Republican ticket gets an average majority of
about forty-fve-a gain of more than eighty
votes. This is on eof the the towns in Swans
representative district. The Republicans of
Poland want to know what has become of Mr..
A. T. Dennison and his one hundred Others
Southport
The election of town officers with the ex-
ception of clerk was unanimous vote.

1t will be remembered that at the time of
the Raymond shooting ARRAY it was claimed
by Raymond that he threw his empty revolver
at Moulton; and by Moulton that Raymond
raised his hand as if to draw revolver and
therefore he fired in self-defense. Mr.. Stock
we'll found Raymond's revolver, after the snow
melted on Bracket street, and handed it to
Marshal Bridges the other day.
