Ditson & Co. send us, this week. samples of
their numerous sheet music publications: "The
City Bells" is a pleasing vocal duet by Franz
Abt; "Good Night" by G. W. Chadwick, may
have lulling effect, from which one will be
aroused by Theo. Marzial's lively "Buttercup
Queen" which is one of the sweet new En-
glish ballads of the day. "The Conquerors
Grand March" by w. Rab, is one of the best
and brightest published "Storkbill's Galop"
by Fahrbach, has quick snap to the melody,
which reminds one of the snaps of stork's bills,
which are so disagreeable to frogs and such
like edibles; and "Under the Red Gross
March" by Rab, may cheer the footsteps OF the
red Gaced) cross people who have to tramp
about in the broiling sun of summer process
sions. The weekly Musical Record is also in
cluded in the bundle.

A Luscious Cargo.

The schooner Nathan Cleaves, Daniel At
wood, master, arrived at Boston the 9th inst,
from Eleuthera Island, in the West Indies,
loaded down with pine apples. The voyage
was a short one, and the fruit arrived in Bos-
ton in splendid shape. We judge so by the
condition of a goodly number received yester-
day through Capt. Atwood's courtesy.

The Checker Match.

But three games were played yesterday Of
these Broughton won two and the other was
a draw. 1t took two hours and half to play
the first game, a dispute arising which the
umpire, Mr.. Cotton, decided in Broughton's
favor. Golden called for draw and
Broughton played the forty moves permitted
to him. giving him, in the umpire's opinion,
an advantage sufficient to justify the continu-
alton of the game. 1t resulted in a win. The
fight was hard all day. The score now stands:
- games; wins by Brougton; draws.

PENoBscor COUNTY,

The Wing says that at meeting of gentle
men interested in the late purchase of the
Bangor & Bucksport Railroad held at the
Bangor House Tuesday evening, the question
of extending the road to Ellsworth was dis
cussed. The feeling was rather against such a
move at present but it was concluded to have
preliminary survey made, and the cost of
right of way ascertained, the present season so
as to enable the company to determine whether
it is advisable to commence the construction
another season.

through the pranks of the "boss" editor
of the Melbourne Clipper. Details: The
preacher and editor attended picnic
where the provisions became scarce. The
two succeed in grabbing a piece of roasted
pork and loaf of bread and retired to
the brush to eat. Finding a suitable
place, they spread handkerchief on the
ground, placed the pork (about four lbs
thereon to be divided, when suddenly the
"boss" said: "Bro. R., hadn't you better
say grace?" Closing his eyes the preacher
gave long and fervent thanks for the
bounties spread before them. You see the
trick? When the good brother opened his
eyes the meat had disappeared, and the

was finding its way into the hungry

DEAR RECORD: Notwithstanding the
dry weather, which is causing many poor
fellows to think of having to 90 to Egypt

sixteen lots were sold yesterday making
a total of thirty-fve sold during the past
week. Lumber is being hauled with which
to begin the erection of more buildings
this week. Three gentlemen from Clay
county came and purchased lots here last
week, one of whom contemplates erecting
a mammoth hotel. Two or three families
from Craighead county arrived yesterday,
and several from other sections. Every
body making great rush for lots before
all near the springs are taken up. The
Missenhamer hotel has q good number of
guests now, and still room for more. The
buz of the mill saw, the click of the
shingle knife, the sound of the carpenter s
hammer, the ring of the blacksmith's anvil
and the whoop of the irrepressible small
boys can be heard from early morn till
twilight eve. Yes, everybody exclaims,
"The boom is permanent, sure!"

That lay on the table so silent and still;
Where often I've hid anything l thought

To fall in the hands of my bad brother

How ardent I've seized it with eyes that
were glowing,
And shook its wide pages until out the
things fell;
But now all its charming old secrecy's

May the Lord put it in the hearts of

munlty to 60 TO special and hearty
prayer and cooperation for a rich
and abundant blessing upon cur
Church, cur town and our communi-
ty. Dear brethren and friends, we
need revival OF religion--of vital
Godliness-in our little Church. as
well as in the ranks of the backsli-
ders and sinners. the lawless and
fearless of God and man: who infest
the borders of the Church no less
than those of society. The Lord has
promised good concerning his people,
and the time has fully come when
we must have these holy promises of
God verified. The conditions on our
part are plain. practicable, easy.
ASK and We shall receive" "Seek
and We shall find," "Kneck and it
(Heaven's bounty-house, the heart of
Cod shall be opened unto YOU"
"If two of you shall agree on earth
as touching any thing that they shall
ask, 1t shall be dane for them of my
Father which is in Heaven" "Hith-
erto have we asked nothing in my
name; ask and We shall receive, that
your joy may be FULL" says Jesus.
Let US, then, dear, trusting children
of God, approach him with holy
boldness and importantly, saying,
"Lord we cannot let Thee go,
Until a blessing Thou bestow."
If we, like Jacob of old, would
"preyail in prayer" we must wres-
tie, like him-wrestle till the morn
ing cOmeth-ahd
Though He may awhile forbear,
He'll not our suit deny.
Let US all unite in prayer of faith
and Importantly. and with expectant
hearts await the time of refreshing
from the presence of the Lord, the
out-pouring of the Holy Ghost upon
us individually and collectively.
