New England Free Baptist Association
The New England Free Baptist Association
met with the Casco street church last evening.
There was large attendance, including some
fifty gentlemen and ladies from out of town
churches. Among those we noticed President
Cheney of Bates College, Rev. Dr. Bowen of
Lewiston, G. F. Mosher, editor of the Morning
Star; Rev. j. M. Brewster of Providence, r. l.,
DR.. Graham and Rev. Mr.. Perkins, former
pastors of the church.
AT 7.30 O'Clock there was prayer and con-
ference meeting, led by Rufus Deering, ESQ.,,
of this city.
At 8 o'clock the association was formally
called to order by Rev. G. S. Perkins of Bos-
ton. Prayer was offered by Rev. C. A. Bick-
ford of New Hampshire. The secretary of the
convention being absent, Rev. Mr. Bickford
was chosen secretary pro tenn.
The following persons were appointed COM
mittee to nominate officers for the ensuing
year: Rev. DR.. Cheney of Maine, Rev. A.
Given of Rhode Island, Rev. T. G. Wilder of
Massachusetts,, Rev. Mr.. Bickford of New
Hampshire, and G. F. Mosher, Esq, of New
Hampshire.
@AAoOA oAi1Shh5 oiiO PAOdoLOL VI bllo Op01llS
sermon, Rev. DIR. Bowen, of Lewiston, was in
troduced. He announced as his text Matth
16-25, "For whosoever will save his life shall
lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life for my
sake shall find it." After fitting introduc-
| tion of an expository character, the preacher
proceeded to enforce its teachings. The truth
here enforced is that which holds in all the
walks and pursuits of life. Everything good
and noble is borne of sacrifice. This is true in
the pursuits of wealth and in the obtaining
of culture, and should it not be so in spiritual
crown without cross. Love is in its very ma
| ture sacrificed. The words of the text are
| applicable not simply to the commencement of
| the Christian life, but to the whole oil it. And
| these principles are exemplifed by every
| Christian life. The greatest victories of the
| church are when her victories are most mark
| ed. After wide and forcible application of
these and other principles the preacher re-
| ferred to the relations which the Free Baptist
| denomination of to-day sustains to the past.
| Such reference was thought fitting in view
| of the fact that the denomination has reached
| the centennial year of its existence. There
| shoul6 be looking back for instruction and in
| spiration, but there should be looking forward
| for greater perfection and greater victories.
Christ goes before his people. Most will be ac-
| complished by self-devotion and self-forgetful-
ness in the work of saving men. In this is the
| mission of the denomination, and in this is its
success. 1t will become power in the con-
version of the world. The sermon was finely
conceived. 1t occupied about one hour in de.
| livery, and was listened to with marked atten.
| ton.
After singing the benediction was pronounc.
| ed by Rev. DIR. Bowen.

New York SUM-
Barnum has two wonderful oxen.
They crawl on their knees, sea-saw on
board, fire pistol, mount a pedestal, and
exc cute a waltz. They are three-year-
olds this spring, and are twins. They
are almost exactly alike, and can only be
told apart by the difference Of the white
spots upon their fanks. Mr.. P. 7. Bar
mum is their owner, and they were
trained for his show by the veteran ele-
phant trainer, Charles White, who began
to work with them in November last,
after the season closed. The task was
not undertaken with much hope of a sue
cessful result, for the trainers had never
thought it worth while to spend time
upon an animal which, in domestic use,
seemed to require the noisy "goes" and
''haws" of an OK driver, coupled with the
cruelty of the lash or goad, to make it
do even the simple duty OF a beast OF
burden.
Mr.. Charles White bought the oxen Of
Mr.. Henry M. Taft of Uxbridge, Mass,
who had purchased them when
calves and made pets Of them. He had
also taught them few simple tricks,
such as climbing steps, getting upon a
pedestal and dropping upon their knees.
He had christened them Moody and San
KEY because, he said, Of the good he ex.
pected them to do in the world. Mr..
White could tell the habits of an ele-
phant, lion, a camel, zebra, drome-
dary, or deer, but he had to begin a
study Of the daily life Of an OK. He
spent one Sunday with them, observing
what they seemed to like best, and how
they could best be controlled. His ex-
perience with oxen was limited to the
noise and confusion caused by their
drivers in the West. He soon concluded
that, like all other animals, they could
be ruled best by kindness. After the
purchase they were put into training at
Newton, L. l., where the show wintered,

She would not either laugh or remon-
strate now. Dick was his own master,
and if he chose to be so terribly foolish,
there was no help for it. Any remark
might only make matters worse. But
her heart sank very sadly as she walked
up the hill, leaning on her nephew's
strong arm. She need not have hoped
that Mrs. Lancaster would lose the op.
portunity-still, she might have waited
a few days, Miss Northcote thought, be-

DEMOCRATIC REPUDIATION.

We have been greatly amused lately at
the assertions of the St. Louis Globe.
Democrat, Little Rock Republican and
o,her papers of a similar veracious bent,
in atnibuting to the democracy Of Arkan-
sas a disposition to repudiate; amused,
because upon an investigation of the sub.
ject it is invariably shown that tits mostly
the virtuous followers of the party Of great
moral ideas in A kansas who are given
to that Minnesotian mode of settling fnan-
cial questions. For example, take the
election in this county on the Fishback
amendment. North township votes forty
two, with but one republican voter in the
township. At the recent election 4 votes
were given against repudiation, and none
in favor of it; while in Union township,
which lies joining North, and in which
the parties are pretty equally divided, Is
votes were given against the amendment,
and 25 for it. Again, in jackson town
ship, which lies along side of Union, but
contains no republican voters, 81 votes
we're given against the amendment, and
none were cast in favor of it. Once more,
Cave and johnson are the only townships
in the county having republican majorltles,
and each gave the Fishback amendment a
rousing majority-in other words, vote
equal, but not beyond. the republican
strength of those townships. On the other
hand, the remainder of the townships in
the county, with the single exception Of
Sullivan. defeated the amendment, by
handsome majorlties, the vote in favor OF
repudlation being about equal to the re-
publican strength in them. 1t is proper to
add that in Big Creek township, the very
stronghold of democracy, every vote was
pollcd against reputation.
Considering the fact that the democratic
platform lett the members Of that party
free to vote as they might see fit upon the
question, while the republicans were pub
hclv advised by their leaders to oppose it,
land privately advised, we know not how }
the above facts are marvclously remarka-
bic in showing up republican, purity and
virtue.

We learn from the Harrison Times
that Samuel Murphy will canvass this

purchased the property from individuals,
and supposed he had obtained good title
thereto. Mr. Deaderick has spent con,
siderable time and money improving the
property and defending the title against
persons who claimed to have an interest
therein, to say nothing of the original
purchase money, and should he be COM
pclled to vacate it without remuneration,
it will be a heavy loss to him.
