The second days session of the Bowdoin
Quarterly Conference of Free Baptist
churches, in this city, was very successful.
Much of the time yesterday was devoted to
the subject Of home and foreign missions,
and generous collections were taken up for
these objects. In the afternoon, Rev. r. L.
Howard of Bangor delivered an excellent ad-
dress. The church was crowded in the even
ing to hear Rev. J. Mariner of Lewiston,
who electrified his audience with an eloquent
and practical discourse from Matthew vi,
2l: "For where your treasure is, there your
heart will be Also" The preacher spoke of
amassing earthly treasures, and the anxiety
which everyone has for this end. A man has
his duties for this life and for the life to come.
A religion that does not help men in this life
is but miserable introduction to the next
one. He then alluded to the subject of
home, and compared the life Of two men one
of whom fabored and delighted in his roof
tree and the other who, perhaps, squandered
his earnings in the bar-room. The sanctity
and power for righteousness of Christian
home, though it be humble, was spoken of.
The closing remarks were on the subject Of
laying up treasures in Heaven, and building
up home in the city celestial. The session
of the conference, which has been one of
great interest. closes to-day. There will be
prayer meeting at Q, sermon at 1890, and
sermon in the afternoon at $50.

On wednesday afternoon, the children at
the Kendall street schools we're treated by
the teachers and ladies on the Heights to
picnic dinner. The tables were spread in
Miss Arnolds room, and were loaded with
all kinds of goodies, decorated with beautiful
bouquets, -geraniums, snowballs and lilies
making the air sweet with their fragrance
At 4 O'Clock, Miss Phinney with her scholars
came marching up the stairs to Miss Arnold's
room,-some Of them hardly large enough to
DC called cabinet size. As soon as they were
seated, the exercises commenced by singing,
followed by declarations, etc., which were
nicely rendered by the scholars. A goodly
number of the parents were present, and it
is hard to tell which enjoyed themselves the
better, the parents or the children. After the
exercises were closed, old and young partook
OF the delicacies with which the tables were
loaded, some of the parents staying until
they were actually driven home. Such occa-
sions as these are both encouraging and
pleasant, - encouraging both teachers and
scholars, showing to each that their efforts to
teach and learn are appreciated by the par
ents. The teachers, Misses Phinney and
Arnold, are too well known to need common
datiOn from us. As was manifested on this
occasion, the people of Cushnoc Heights are
well pleased with their schools and their
teachers.

Thus far the month of June has been de-
cidedly cool mouth, contrasting very strong
ly with the month Of May. The first day
was warm enough, its mean temperature be-
ing recorded at the signal office as 1912 de-
grees. The mean for the first day of May
was exactly % degrees less. and herein we
find the first point of contrast But the
average mean for the five days from May 2
to 6, inclusive, was 62.2 degrees while that
for the five corresponding days this month is
only 50 degrees. The highest temperature
recorded this month is SO degrees, which was
reached on the LIST inst Since then the mer-
curry has been no higher than 20 degrees,
that temperature being recorded for the 9Th.
1t will be remembered that the highest tenn
perature recorded for May was l02 degrees.
Another point of contrast lies in the fact that
while May was marked by remarkably clear
weather June bids fair to be a month of
clouds and rain.

10 sky gazers, because it brings the great
planets Jupiter and Saturn once more into
favorable positions for observation. jupiter
now rises at about half past o'clock in the
morning and Saturn half an hour later. Near
the end of the month both will rise at about
midnight. All through the summer and fall
these planets will shine close together, grow
ing more brilliant every week, until, in Octo-
Der, the earth gets between them and the
sun. Then Jupiter will shine with extraor-
