ly We have received, freely give"
Thursday morning, prayer meeting was
held in the vestry from to $50 o'clock. A
business meeting of the board followed. The
report of the corresponding secretary was sub
mitted to the board, prior to its presentation to
the public, and was approved. Another sub
iect for consideration was basis for a union of
this state society with the parent board. No
decision was reached, and it is still an open
question. Interesting addresses were then de-
livered as follows;
By Rev. j. B. Davis, "How Best to CONSOLE
date Weak Churches by Rev. S. G. Whit
comb, "The Most Economical Use of Home
Missionary Money" by Rev. j. M. Lowden,
"The Relation of this Society to the Educa-
tional Interests OF Name" The addresses
elected discussion.
In the afternoon, at two o'clock, the report
of the corresponding secretary, Rev. FL. j.
White of Bath was read. He presented re-
cord of the societys work in strengthening
weak churches, during the year, and especially
of the labors OF the State Missionary, Rev. Mr..
Boyd. During the year, he has attended ff-
teen quarterly meetings, and two yearly meet
ings, preached 200 sermons, and travelled 5000
miles He has raised $500 in money, and OBJ
tanned several requests and legacies.
AT the close of this very interesting report,
there were able addresses as follows: By Mr..

Not So Green.

The Brdgton News says: One OF our cltl-
zens while at Portland the other day was the
intended victim of the twenty dollar card trick,
which has been ''tried on at fairs in this re-
gion quite frequently. While standing on
Middle street, looking at patent folding boat,
a red faced, rather good looking, youngish man
with cigar in his mouth, fell into converse
ton with him, and made many inquiries about
the boat, and also ascertained that the other
was stranger in the city. He shortly switch
ed off from the subject of the wonderful boat
to that of another and greater curiosity-the
greatest curiosity he had ever seen" namely
the horse which had but two legs. The ami
NAL, he said, had been imported, and would
ere long re placed on exhibition, but "could
now be seen in stable few steps off. ;" "Come
on let's see it," The Bridgton man accepted the
invitation with an alacrity which went to show
that he was an easy victim to the trap, at the
same time. however, he kept sharp lookout
for his pocket book. The delightful stranger
led him down deserted street, keeping up
running fire of conversational remark sand at
length told him how rascal at the county
fair had swindled him out of twenty dollars;
which he paused to illustrate. He displayed
five address cards, on the back of one OF which
was written in pencil, President Arthur's name
and on the front of which was an ininitesimal
dot, by which mark the rascal could win the
$40 bet that he could draw the Arthur card
when the five had been shuffied. At this juno
ture, a third man came up hurriedly and in
quired for "Harrington's." Was told they
didn't know. No. got greatly interested in
the card trick, which eliminated in his bet
ting (?) twenty dollars that the Bridgton man
couldn't draw the Arthur card, and his hand
ing his confederate a roll of bank bills. Bridg-
ton man was invited to draw the card-but he
Just didn't that time, but bid them an affec

turned to look for them, they had disappeared
1t was his 'game'' to play with them until he
could secure help and their arrest, but the utter
absence of any other person in that vicinity
just at that time foiled his plans. The whole
performance was rapid, and it was evidently
the design of the two worthless to entangle
their victim ere he could have time to reason
out the illogical and otherwise transparent

The sale of preferred treasury stock of
the North Horn Silver Mining Company, an
advertisement of which appears in another
column, will commend itself to the attention of
investors. The property of the company is
situated on the famous Horn Silver ledge,
which is now considered by the best authori-
ties the richest silver bearing vein in the world.
Experts who have examined the North Horn
Silver property express the belief that with de-
velopment 1t will rival its neighbor in the pro-
duction of the precious metal. This develop
ment will be carried forward rapidly, with the
most approved appliances, as soon as sufficient
funds for the purpose have been secured from
the sale of stock. An advantage which this
treasury stock possesses over every other min
ing stock now on the American market is the
assurance of interest to holders during the time
the mines are being developed, and of an extra
profit long after they shall have arrived at the
dividend bearing stage. The Mutual Trust
Company of New York, guarantees the pay
ment Of 10 cents per share yearly, for six years.
TO the holders of this treasury stock, or more
than per cent on the price at which the stock
is now offered.

The st. George Murder.

1t will be recollected that three or four years
ago an old lady by the name of Sarah Meservey
was found murdered insher house at st. George,
and that Nathan F. Hart was subsequently
convicted Of her murder, and sentenced to
State prison for life. There have been doubts
in the minds of some people as to sthe correct
ness of the conclusions of the jury, many be-
lieving that Hart is an innocent man. This
weeks Rockland Opinion contains somewhat
remarkable story alleged to have been told to
the warden of the State prison by convict
named Montgomery who belonged in st.
George and has been in prison year for rape
Montgomery who is weakmindedfrom epileptic
fits states that he was near the house of Mrs.
Meservey on the night OF the murder and saw
the crime committed The murderer, he says,
was not Hart and he gives the name Of man
who he says is the guilty party. 1t would be
unjust to repeat the name of the accused par
ty, especially as Montgomery goes on to relate
the movements of the murderer before Mrs.
Meseryey returned home and while the house

The I.emiston Swindiar.

The creditors think that they are on the
track of Uric Chatham, the fugitive Lewiston
grocer and embezzler. They have asoertained
that several letters have been written by Chal-
train stating that he is in Canada and proposes
to open a store there. They also have informa-
tion accounting for the mysterious way in
which Chaltrain eluded them. The fellow
left Lewiston on the II o'clock train Friday
night and went to Lowell, Mass. He left Low
ell on the following day and went to Canada
via the Vermont Central railroad. He was
shrewd enough not to attempt to go through to
Canada on the Grand Trunk. His creditors
expected that he would take this course, and
had prepared to nab him at Island Pond,
where the officers had telegrsphic order from
City Marshal Bridges to arrest the embezzler,
who was infinitely described.

The Hanlan-Ross Race.

The Lewiston Journal says that the Maine
Central railroad offered Hanlan and Ross, the
oarsmen, the sum of $500 in cash, if they
would row there approaching race on Lake
Maransscook. If the carmen had accepted, the
Maine Central proposed to have the race come
off the first of this month, and make arrange
mentssfor big trains from all parts OF the State
and an immense crowd. Ross and Hanlan
however, have replied that they received bet
ter inducements from other parties and will
not come to Maranacook.
The Maine Central directors did make an
offer, but nothing like $4,000. If they had the
race would have been rowed at the lake this
fall. The race as is well known is off for this
raoSon
