pleted the platform betw cen the stations

dition to the place, and will be appreciated
by the multtudes who will use it during the
meetings. This company seem to be doing
all that lies in its power to make every one
comfortable who comes here.
The road up to the grounds is in splendid
shape and so are the roads all through the
grove. We find several families sojourning
here among which are F. 4. Bricks, Moses
Mills, Hamlen and Snow, Mrs. Dnnllam OF
Bath, Mrs. Leeman of Boston. Niles Saw
telle of IIalowell. Many others have been
here for short time but have gone home.
The houses of Messrs. Packard and Lewis
are well under way, and will make very
pretty corner.
Vassalboro' folks will probably build on
the north part of the grounds, and a cottage
will be built on Park avenue before meet
ings.
Mr.. Clark Of Pittston is making extensive
improvements on his cottage near the Iaber-
nacle, and one would hardly think it was the
same one.
Other improvements have been made in
various parts of the grove and it looks very
nicely.
Visitors are coming daily and cottages are
filling up and in few days large number
will be domiciled for the season.
1t has been decided to hold third meet
ing, but under whose charge it will be, has
not been fully determined. That will hold
over the second Sabbath.
ought to have said that one of the Hughes
brothers will have two instruments here and

There is a call for cottages to rent, but

Colby University Notes.


Each year, as the hot weather approaches,
bitter complaints are heard over the present
arrangement of terms at Colby. The mat
ter has been very warmly agitated this year.
and the prospect is now that change will be
made. 1t is proposed to have a fall term Of
IL weeks, and after an intermission of one
week to have winter term of s weeks; then
a vacation of ) weeks, followed by the sum-
mer term, which will close the last of June
instead of the last of July. as at present. A
petition to this effect will be presented to
the trustees signed by about 60 of the
students. 1t is said that this plan has been
approved by the faculty. Many, however
question its feasibility. Fully one-third Of
the students are obliged to teach winters in
order to continue with their classes. BY the
change proposed, many would have to sacri-
fee their whole college course, or at least 4
large part of it. The fact that the ma jority
of the students do not sign the petition, is in
dicative of the prevailing feeling here. 1t
seems to be question of Necessity VS..
Preference, which the trustees will decide

class propose to have their ''exit" at Angus

Since our departure from st. Pierre, on

Virgin Rocks, surveyed Eastern Shoals and
searched for rocks reported by the Jesse
Ryder, and also for the nine fathom bank. No
water of less than 30 fathoms was found by
us in the two latter localities, and this fact,
together with assertions of numerous fisher
men, lead us to conclude that shoal water
does not exist. Hear of no difficulty what
ever as to fishing by our fishermen in all
localities permitted by the late treaty with
Great Britain.
