Fryeburg Camp Meeting.

MARTHA'S GROVE, Sept y, 1851.
The afternoon services were varied somewhat
yesterday Rev. A. McKeown, d. D., LII d.
of Chestnut street church, Portland, preached
from the parable of the Prodigal Son. This
subject, SO familiar to all, was so attractiveY
presented it seemed new. Touching incidents
in the life and experience of the speaker were
related. The evening service, though less
noisy. was earnest and even more effective
than that of the former evening. The central
thought was, where will you spend eternity
The evening was cool and damp, but brilliant
with the silvery radiance of the full moon.
The effect of the double light upon the leaves
of the naples was very beautiful. Tent meet
ings, after the out-of-door service, were pre-
tracted until lrte hour
The morning air, laden with the odors OF
the forest, early bore the sound of psalms into
the open windows. The first meeting was
held at 6. Tent meetings followed. At nine
o'clock a love feast was held at the stand.
There was a perceptible absence Of shouting,
but the power was present in the 'still, small
voice." Before the bell called to morning SER
vice, large audience had gathered. Rev. DIR.
left preached from the text, "And as we have
borne the image of the earthly, we shall also
bear the image of the heavenly, IL Cor,

The Bridrton Railroad.

Mr.. EDIToR:-It was because the Bridgton
railroad committee did not, as is believed, sub
ject the Hiram route, or the company claim
ing to be legally organized to build a railroad
thereon, to such bonds and conditions, nor APP
propriate the aid Of the town in such manner
as the people by vote directed, that an injunc-
ton was applied for. 1t was not because of
objections which any of the petitioners had
for that route.
If the committee had appropriated the bonds
to Mr. Bradstreet, or stock company for his
route. as they have for the Hiram route, it
would have been like improper, and an in
junction would in that case have been asked
for. Under vote ITO loan the credit of the
town for the sam Of forty thousand dollars to
aid in the construction u a railroad which
shall give US railroad communication between
Bridgton and Portland, it was voted that "if
said Bradstreet shall fail to make arrange
ments to build said road satisfactory to said
committee, within said ninety days, then said
sum of forty thousand dollars shall be appro-
priated for the construction of a railroad from
Bridgton to Hiram, to be built by legally
organized stock company, said
stock company to be subject to the same time,
ments satisfactory to said railroad committee
that are required of said Bradstreet ~
Bradstreet within ninety days from the date of
that town meeting was to make such arrange
ments to build railroad from Bridgton to
Portland, or to connect with some railroad
near Portland as to be satisfactory to the COM
mittee of three or more, to entitle him to have
$4,000 in bonds issued to him.
Before this time Bradstreet had made pro-
position to the town promising to do certain
things il the town would aid him to build a
railroad. Mass meetings were held, COM
mittees appointed reports same discussion
had. The words subject to cause time, bonds
and condition" ssthat are required
of said Bradstreet''- have because of this, a
definite meaning to every voter here. 1t was
understood that if Mr.. Bradstreet in ninety
days satisfied the committee as above, he was
to have the bonds in accordance with the con-
ditions of his proposition ON his giving bonds
as security therefor. The Hiram company, in
case Bradstreet failed in ninety days to do
this, was to have the bonds on the same con-
dition as Bradstreet's proposition named, sub
iect to like bonds for security.
We claim this to have been the understand
ing Mr.. Bradstreet so understood it,and labor
ed to carry it out in accordance with that I'D
derstanding; but did not have sufficient time.
The committee have voted to subscribe for
stock in the Hiram railroad, subject to no
bonds and conditions, whatever, and to pay
therefor in bonds.
The Illegally of the vote, or proceedings, was
not an afterthought. Mr.. Bradstreet at the
town meeting suggested an adjournment to
cure any defects of that kind by amendment,
but the meeting adjourned without day.

the evening, and related the circumstances of
his early conversion. He then gave his ideas
of 'the image of the heavenly" We read that
Christ went to heaven spiritually, mentally
and physically. We shall go in the same way.
The mind comes back and marries itself to the
body. The delights of heaven will be various,
because it will be real world. This conclu-
sion was reached after much study and
thought. | may have made mistake, but it
has been so much comfort to me / feel it my
duty to tell you. Some say all descriptions OF
heaven in the Bible are to be regarded as
figure. What is a figure? Something less
used to describe something greater. Heaven
is world; place lovely beyond all rhetoric,
magnificent beyond all power OF oratory;
glorious place, where we shall live and do glo-
rious work for God. This is not Swedenbor
gianism but the Bible. Were preaching on
Swedenborgianism, would show you the diff
ference. The sermon, which was rapidly de-
livered, occupied more than three-quarters OF
an hour, and was listened to very closely.
AT one O'clock the Woman's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society met at the stand. A children's
mseting was held in Chestnut street tent. The
different societies held prayer meetings in
their respective tents. News from the Presi-
dent was read upon the arrival of the morning
train The boy preacher had charge OF the
afternoon meeting The size OF the congrega-
ton at this busy season of the year, is the best
evidence Of the interest there is to hear this
young and earnest worker.

nae New Telenhone List,

The new telephone lists are now at the bind
cry and will soon be delivered. One new fea-
ture is the placing all out of town subscribers
under their town head instead of mixing them
with Portland subscribers. The list contains
Lewiston and Auburn names, $50 in number.
The line is not completed yet but will be fin
ished in a week or ten days.
Mr.. Farnham says he hopes subscribers will
carefully look over the "hints" and rules. The
giving of ones number last, instead of first,
causes troublesome error, for then a wrong
party is called up as it misplaces the calling
and called line on the operators siato. All
subscribers are invited to visit the central Of
