Several large bonfres added to the beauty OF
the scene. The Fusion spirit showed itself in
Arthur flag. This is the second time this as
been done. The culprits are known and as
soon as evidence enough can be got they will
be likely to hear OF the matter again. Whether
any of the leaders of the Fusionists are guilty
of aiding and abetting the dirty rogues in
their disgraceful work know not but cannot
think they are. M. G.

BIBLE SOCIETY OF MAINE,
By e. B. stilson, Collecting Agent.

1t is doubtless generally known that this So
ciety has recently begun a systematic visitation
of Oxford county. In undertaking to visit
every family in each town and plantation the
society have in view four-fold obiect:-1st, to
supply those without Bibles gratuitously. I'd,
sell at cost. Sd, collect religious statistics.
4th, solicit subscriptions for the Bible cause
This society was among the very earliest Or
ganized in this nation 1t was incorp rated by
Massachusetts in 1920, before. Maine became
State, six years prior to the American Bible
Society, to which it subsequently became and
remains auxiliary. The county we are now
visiting has never been thoroughly canvassed
to supply the destitute with the Bible. Expe-
rience has taught us that in all our towns
there are scores of families who seldom, if
ever, frequent the sanctuary; many of these
are destitate of any portion of the Bible This
society can find no better method of supplying
these families, bringing them to the church
and leading them to the Lamb of God than
that of having every home visited and the
statistics obtained placed in the hands of the
clergy and Christian workers. Many who de-
sire different form of the Scriptures from
that which they possess gladly purchase when
it is offered at their homes at cost. There are
many others who are destitute of the Bible
and OF money, to whom even the small sum
required to buy looks large. These must be
supplied free
Wherever this thorough visitation is carried
forward the collections usually taken in the
churches for the Bible cause are omitted for
one year, and taken while visiting by the
agent and credited to the different congrega-
tions.
Since the organization of the Bible Society
of Maine the Scriptures have been translate
into more than two hundred languages. and
nearly two hundred million copies have been
put into circulation. To-day we sell Testa-
mept for five CENTS Bible for twenty-five
cents, and large print Testament and Psalms
for thirty-fve cents.
In view of what Bible societies have done
and are still destined to accomplish for the
elevation and salvation of the human race we
would earnestly request all who love the king
dom of our Lord to assist us in carrying out the
purpose OF leaving upon our territory no fami-
ly destitute of the book that has done so much
for us.
We trust Christian people OF every name
will sustain and cheer US in this non-sectarian
work y their prayers, their counsels and their
contributions.

TrOut Spaarinc

Considerable has been written this season on
the subject of trout fishing in Crooked and
Songo rivers AS one who knows something
of the manner in which this is carried on, I
would like to express my views. I think the
law prohibiting the spearing OR taking in any
other way of trout during this season of the
year should be thoroughly enforced or repeal
ed. AS it is now very many people make
wholesale slaughters of trout, spearing them
by the barrel more or less, taking more than
they need, and as they do not dare to take
them to market and sell them like other mer-
chandise, they are distributed among their
friends, many finding stopping place in Port
land, Lewiston, Boston and other places Now
many of our people are law-abiding citizens
and they resist on that account, the temptation
of spearing the lively fish. Fish Warden Mead
Of North Bridgton is looking after this matter,
but public opinion isn't quite up to the en-
forcement of this law. Mr.. Mead took some
fish pots home with him yesterday, also some
spears. Perhaps more will be heard from him
soon.

NAPLES, Nov. 3.
The Republican Of Naples are very jubilant
over the election of Garfield and Arthur.
They consider it triumph of principal and
justice over dishonesty and injustice. We feel
that the men who sustained our government
through the trying days of rebellion not only by
their blood and treasure, but by their votes at
home should have it within their province to
say who shall be President, whether it shall be
man with the sympathy of the North to back
him up or with a solid South to control his
actions. TRANSIENT.
