Yesterday we noticed several fine pictures at
Davis art gallery in Congress square.
The center picture, by Ernest Meilner of
Munich, represents a boy driving flock of
sheep over fence into little glade. On the
right, in the distance, is the farm house, with
q little piece of ornamental water in front,
while the fields in the middle distance are broad
and undulating. The picture is breezy in tone
and instinct with life. The sheep are well
drawn, and the atmosphere good.
On either side of this picture are two small
ones by James Hart. The one represents
gentle stream bordered by huge trees, with
COWS feeding on the left bank, under their
shade. On the right stretches meadow, with
rising land in the distances from which peep
snug white cottages. Where the river winds a
charming copse is disclosed. Tie other pic
ture represents meadow shaded by trees, and
cattle feeding.

Tho American Board Meeting.

As heretofore announced, the Congregational
churches of Portland and vicinity have voted,
through their representative, to invite the
American Board of Commissioners for Foreign
Missions, now in session at st. Louis, to hold
its next annual meeting in October, 1882, in
Portland.
The invitation was formally telegraphed on
Tuesday, and the following reply has been re-
ceived, and viii be of interest to very many of
our readers:

Augusta, who died suddenly, last week, at the

1843 came to Portland to take the manage

cratic paper started in opposition to the Argus
We were an apprentice in the American office
at that time, and well remember Mr.. johnson
as an active and energetic man. He was of a
singular nervous temperament, quick IN all ms
movements, sympathetic in his nature, and a
very companionable man. He took kindly
interest in the personal affairs Of all in his en-
ploy, and left the impression upon all who
knew him here, of genial, kindhearted man.
He returned to Augusta, and afterwards rep
resented that city in the Legislature, and was
its Mayor in 1864. We think the projectors,
editors, and publishers of the American have
now all deceased with the exception of Hon.
Benjamin Kingsbury, Jr., of this city. who,
was editor of the paper for several years.
Among those connected with it, who have
passed away, were Gen Thomas Todd, and n.
A. Foster. OF the printers in the office at the
time, we do no know that one survives, save
ourself. Certainly no other remains here in

Two or three gentlemen belonging in Ban

since went out to Lead mountain, near Union
river to hunt for deer. The party had with

forbids the hunting of deer with dogs, and lis

No More Farces Wanted.

Some of our Republican friends are
disposed to ''grumble" at what we said
last week about the first Republican
meeting, at the Court House, week
ago last Saturday night. We are
fully convinced that it always, and all
the time, pays to tell the truth, al
though it is sometimes unpalatable to
: do so. We tried to do our duty in
advertising the meeting, giving it
nearly half a column space, displayed.
1.-The Central Committee did their duty,
having posters out, and also three
hundred dodgers" or small posters,
distributed well on Saturday morning.
They had our fine Silver Cornet Band
| in the street, where they played sever
1al pieces. They then went into the
Court Room and played. The fine
toned Court House bell was rung
three several times, and with all this
effort, on fine, clear, but hot night.
There were less than one hundred per-
sons in the Court Room, counting
men, women, boys and girls! And
] this in a town of nearly thirty-five
hundred persons! Where were all the
men who so loudly claim to be Repub-
alicans? Was it not their duty to be
there? 1t was unjust, and almost in
]sulting to the speakers. Mr.. Jones
had prepared and written out speech
which must have taken great care and
considerable labor. Mr.. Mcfarland
had come from Portsmouth, at the re-
quest of our Central Committee, to
make speech. No wonder he did
/ not go into an argumentative speech.
Now understand us. We have no
fault to find with the speakers, the
speeches, or the people who did attend.
lit is those who ought to have attend
led, but who did not attend, of whom
/ we complain.
On Friday night Of this week Hon.
|Rees D. Richards, Republican candi-
date for Lieutenant Governor Of Ohio,
and Hon. FL. M. Edwards, Of -Scran-
ton, Pennsylvania, will speak at the
Court House. If the people do not
choose to come and hear them, all
right. This is now, under Republican
zrnle. thank God a free country.
