A meeting of stockholders of the Maine
Turning Company was holden at their Office in
Centennial block at p. IN. Wednesday. The
officers laid before the meeting the condition
of the company, its business prospects and all
other matters in which they should be inform
ed. The company have one mSc chine which
will be completed by the latter part of next
week, and have just commenced work upon
two others. These three machines, when
completed, will be distinct each from the 9TH
er, and represent three of the four inventions
now owned by this company. The directors
stated that they did not deem it advisab to
build more extensively, as1new applications of
this invention or many improvements in mat
tiers of detail were being discovered every
week, and it was thought best to await full
development of the possibilities of the Hanson
lathe.
The company when they lost their machine
by fire had just begun work, which will keep
the new lathe fully employed.
After approving the policy of the manage.
ment the meeting was adjourned.

last evening in the interest of the new Meth
odist church, was rich treat. The music
was furnished by Shaw's Quartette Club of
Portland, and of course was first-class in every
respect The artists were encored with great
enthusiasm. Miss Laurai e. Crawford of
Brunswick read eight Or ten pieces to the de-
light of the audience, and was repeatedly call
ed back to the platform. By request she re-
peated Little Daisy's Faith with fine effect.
Miss Crawford will always have an enthusiast
tic reception at Gorham. MIR. Milliken of

churches of Christ, who taught the largest
charity in the days of his earthly ministry.

The Occultation of Mars.

A very interesting celestial phenomenon
was visible last evening, the occultation of
Mars by the moon. The oscillation COM
menced at GA p. m. when Mars disappeared
behind the dark side of the moon. At S.34
Mars appeared on the western side of the
moon. The atmosphere was clear and the
spectacle could be fully observed. Thecon-
trast of the red light of Mars with the silver
light of the moon was very effective.
