Strange Way to Meet q Fellow.

That was quite singular meeting and a
very unceremonious greeting on West New
York street last Monday. One big man
was walking east, and another of much
smaller proportions was vending his way
westward. They met, and the big fellow
without saying word knocked the other
man down, and proceeded to poundipg g
him. He was pulled off by Pat O'Haver,
and after making one pass at Pat, ps ssed
on, simply remarking that the small man
had insulted his wife. The worsted party
got up, brushed the dirt off his clothes and
passed on, doubtless feeling glad that re-
suits were no worse.

The New North Church

Work upon the new North church is
being pushed forward this winter, and
the force of carpenters will be increased
to fifteen or twenty men. Partitions
are being put up, and the rooms are
taking shape and being put in readiness
for plastering. The main audience room
will be finished up into the roof, the
ceiling being of wood. This room will
be as feet high, the floor slightly grad
ed, pews in circular form, with a roomy
rear gallery, and perhaps other CALLER
les in the transit. The pulpit and choir
gallery are both in the same end of the
church, entrances to the same being
from a door on church street, which
also connects with chapel, pastors
waiting room, and ladies' parlOrs The
chapel is divided, giving rooms on the
north end for juvenile Sunday school,
or any small gatherings. When need
ed, these rooms can all be thrown to-
gether by means of sliding doors, max
ing the ground floor of chapel all one
room. Up stairs the chapel is divided
into music room, a large room for
enter talnments, sewing society, ETC.,
and two or three smaller rooms which
will be very useful.

The Dickens PARTY.

The Dickens Party at the town hall
last Thursday evening was one of the
most interesting home entertainments
that has been given here for some time.
The program was opened by a meeting
of the Picwick Climb, N. 2. Lowering,
Jr.. representing Pickwick, and sup
ported by abOnt dozen well gOtten-up
Plckwickian characters, who held a
club meeting, the proceedings of which
would have caused the original Pick
wick to rub his hands with glee. This
was followed by reception by Pick
wick of some so Dickens characters
whose costumes were all we'll made up
TO represent their parts. Then was
presented the famous trial of Bardell
VS.. Pickwick, which drew forth mucb
applause; and although the court could
not enforce his orders to the Jury
against the lawyers, he got revenge on
them by the verdict of the jury. as if
will be remembered the award of s2O.-
OOo was rather an unexpected verdict.
At the close of this scene, Anna Spep-
Ger and Fred. Fleetwood appeared in
highland costume, and sang "Jeannette
ana Jeanot," in very pleasing man
ner. An antiquarian supper was then
served by antiquarian people at the
rear OF the hall. The exhibition closed
with Madame Jarley's wax works. con-

Chamberlain.

Gen. Chamberlain is a man of such
interest that the public will not readi-
'ly forget. him, although he has retired
to the presidency of his college, the
state of Maine no longer being in any
exigency to require the services of her
general of militia. Gen Chamb erlain is
a native of Bangor and 81 years of age.
His education was at military acade-
my and the Bangor theological semi
nary, whence he went as professor to
BOwdOin in 1855. In 1862 he was APP
pointed Northumberland of the Goth
Maine regiment; in 1868 became colon
ell i; in 1864 brigadier- for gal
lantry at Petersburg, where he was Sc
verely wounded. He was in "a pitched
battles during the war and was six
times wounded, rivaling the services
and scars of our Gen. Bartlett. Com
handing the LIST division, 5th corps, as
major-general, he led the advance at
Appomattox, and received Lees sur
render. After the war he renewed
his professorship of modern languages
at Bowdoin, and was elected president
of the college in 1871, after having been
four years governor of thanksgiving

The Musical Convention.

The advertisement of the coming fes
tival will be found in another column.
1t will be seen that in addition to the
talent heretofore announced, the COM
mittee have secured Miss May Bryant
of Boston, contralto. With well-bal-
anced chorus, and one willing to work
and competent to improve, the cOnven-
ton must be a success unsteady at
least. No chorus can fail of improve
ment under such a master as Zerrahn.
We understand the committee are to
number the seats, each ticket sold en-
tting the holder to a certain seat, and
when all the seats are sold the sale of
tickets will cease. There is no other
way probably to prevent the friction of
last year. The house is estimated to
hold an even 600, outside the chorus.
Those who expect to get place at
either concert should buy their tickets
early.
