MI. Charles +. kimball, former resident
of this city, now doing business in Boston
has been spending a few weeks with his
friends in this city. After an absence of a
score or more of years he finds but few of the
older citizens Of his day now engaged in
business here, and large number within
that period have passed away, while their
places are filled with new and unfamiliar
faces.
The funeral of another of our old and
esteemed citizens, MIR. Stephen Stantial. was
largely attended at his late residence on
Warren street on Sabbath afternoon last.
For several years the health of Mr.. Stantial
has been failing, and he finally passed to his
rest in quietness and peace, at the age of
about Is years.
Rev. MIR. Sterling of Augusta occupied the
Methodist pulpit on Sabbath afternoon last.
in exchange with Rev. Mr.. Grosvenor. He
preached very able and interesting sermon
from the text II know whom | have be-
lieved,' etc. The Free Baptist pulpit was
supplied by Rev. Mr.. Penney of Augusta,
whose regular ministratiOns are attracting
favorable interest.
Rev. DIR. Butler, pastor of the Baptist
church in this city, had services adapted to
the harvt st season on Sabbath afternoon last
An appropriate discourse from the text,
1--WE all do flde as a leaf, was listened to
with pleasure and profit by a large congrega-
ton. The church was deliberately decorated
with autumn leaves and flowers, giving
brilliant and attractive appearance to the
audience room. In the evening a lecture on
the subject, END of the Battle" attracted
congregation completely filling the house,
and proved one of the most interesting of
the series. An original poem of rare merit
was read by daughter Of DR.. Butler, and
the singing was as usual, varied in selection
and artistic in performance. These lectures
have been highly appreciated by all who
have attended, and it is to be hoped that after
a brief suspension the course may be ex-
tended through the winter.
We learn that singing school is to be
taught by MIR. G. E. Whitmore in this city,
commencing this Tuesday evening, in
Temperance Hall.

Saturday evening about o'clock, we were
surprised by the unexpected discharge of
artillery on the east side of the river, that
is, Pittston. At first it seemed more than
probable that the republicans were celebrat-
ing their recent victories IT. the west. An
investigation proved that the coalition ele-
ments of Pittston were having little cele-
bration of their own. The first question that
naturally suggested itself was whether they
were deploring their western loss with can
non bowls, or celebrating an imaginary future
victory. We concluded it was the latter, but
neither was right. A torchlight company Of
about As persons, nearly one-half being voters
and the remainder boys, were performing
military evolutions about the town with no
music whatever. A banner was flung to the
breeze bearing the name of the Pittston
Union Club, of which the procession con-
sisted. After a short time the company pro-
ceeded to the hall, and swelled the vast audi
ence to nearly 100. James Devine of White
field. and a Mr.. Clary of Pittston, entertained
them for about an hour with-ah-wlth re-
marks. One thing occurred that Jared the
meeting a little. An intoxicated man while
testing his powers of equilibrium fell PACK
wards into the corner against some Dencnes
with startling crash. All was CONFUSION
for few moments. The speaking ce"seu
and ALI busted for the corner. No injury was
done. order was restored, the man was led
ont and the meeting proceeded. This is the
6Ist nolitical meeting of the campaign in
Pittston. This town doesn't pretend to have
