Lake MaranacOOk.

The Maine Central Railroad Company have
made many Improvements in their grove on
the shore of Lake Maranacook since last sea-
son. All the projecting stumps and stones
have been removed and the surface covered
with tan, which prevents any dust from rising.
The banks have been sodded over and the
whole surface is as free from obstruction as
house floor. A large addition to the grove has
been cleared up, making it nearly double its
former size.
Among the new buildings that have been
erected is large and handsome dining hall
capable of seating several hundred persons
at one time, The upper story is parted off into
sleeping rooms for the accommodation of boat
men and others who are obliged to stay over
night. Two circular buildings of "a fancy pat
tern, to be used for baggage rooms, have also
been added, together with several small build
ings for various purposes Opposite the grove,
and short distance out into the lake, has
been built handsome band stand of Chinese
pattern, and finished in fine style.
All these buildings are painted in uniform
colors and style, and its name and use is letter.
ed on each. The company have also built a
turntable for turning their locomotives and a
long distance of side track. No money or
pains have been spared in these improvements,
and they have succeeded in making what they
intended-one of the most beautiful groves in
New England.
On the lake also much work is being done
for the accommodation of those wishing boat
ride. The steamer Yosemite, capable of car
rying 200 passengers, is being reftted and will
make regular trips between Winthrop and the
grove on the days of excursions. She is own
ed by road-master Wagg and engineer Lucas of
the Name Central. The steamer Annie, own
ed by S. G. Davis of Winthrop, will run be-
tween Readfeld and the grove, and the Mes
salonskee will also ply on the lake, although
on no stated route. Wharves are being built
for their accommodation, and by the day of the
musical festival everything will be complete.

HAYDN Concert.

The Haydn concert last evening brought to-
gether the friends of the Association to the
fullest seating capacity of the hall. The pro-
gramme was of miscellaneous character and
the selections were well suited to DISPLAY the
fine shading for which the Haydns are noted.
Two OF the choral numbers consisted of hymns
new departure for the society, but they were
rendered with admirable taste and feeling.
abide with me-" the opening number was
beautifully rendered and fairly awakened the
audience. The finest of all the choral num-
bers was that from Spohrs Fall of Babylon''
with o6tagato for alto and bass, the solos being
taken by Mrs. Cloudy ard Mr.. Coyle 1t was
grandly and dramatically performed. The
selections introduced some voices new to
Haydn audiences. Mrs. W. w. Coles song
was very acceptably rendered, and Mr. G. M.
Pratt's and Miss Kennard's numbers received
much applause. Misses Bartlett and Mil
liken and Mrs. Morrison of course deserve
special mention. Owing to severe cold Mr..
Coyle's duet with Wallace King-the favorite
tenor of the Hyers Sisters troupe-was
omitted and the bass solo from tT1das Macca-
b@us. Mr.. King gave Leslie's "When on the
Slumbering Main" in splendid style, arousng
an enthusiastic encore to which he responded
with charming ballad. Kotzschmar con-
Quoted magneticaly andi Miss Jordan accom-
panied most faithfully. The concert is to be
repeated for the benefit of the Maine General
Hospital

Captain MarcelluS Low.

Though hast fallen in thine armor," might
be justly said of the late Capt. Marcellus Low,
whose faithfalness to duty, even to the closing
hours of his life, was but the fulfilling of the
loyalty and fidelity to duty that characterized
his whole life.
He was in command Of the brig "Giles Lor-
ing" bound from Cuba to Boston, and
though suffering from disease that had long
marked him as its prey-consumption, he
hoped to live to reach Boston, but three days
before his vessel reached port, he calmly and
peacefully passed to the other side.
For nearly eight years Capt. Low had been
in one employ, and his ability as a shpmaster,
his answering integrity his faithfulness in
the discharge Of duty, have won for him the
respect of those with whom he had business re-
lations.
How can we express greater honor to the
departed than pride in what they were and
judged by this standard all who knew him
will bring tender tribute to his memory.

Heirs Wanted.

About twenty years ago John Duffield went
to South America from the State of Maine, it
is thought. He formerly had brother in this
State, but his present whereabouts is not
known. John Duffield, referred to, made his
home in the northern part of the Argentine
Republic, and one day during tho usual lull
of business, which occurs at siesta time-from
II to o'clock, his store was entered by two
men, who murdered him for the purpose of
robbery. They did not succeed in securing his
money, and he left large estate to which his
lawful heirs are entitled He had no living

ter may be addressed. If no claimants appear

Tho annual exhibition and graduation ex-
ercises of the Wendell Institute took place at
the Old South church Friday evening. 1t was
very interesting and pleasing occasion. The
programme was arranged with special regard
to brevity, and the selections were made with
an evident intention to use as few words rs
properly could express and develop the idea.
Some superior original exercises took part of
the time. An original colloquy subject, 'sWo-
mans Rights" by the young ladies, was the
gem Of the evening. The presentation OF
diplomas to Misses Cornelia j. Woods and
Belle f. Knowlton, graduates, of Harrington,
was by Rev. Mr.. Moore, pastor of the Congre-
gational church.
