The lecture by Mr. Charles W. Fem, at the
First Baptist church, was listened to by a
large and attentive audience. The subject
was treated in a very clear and interesting
manner and his illustrations added much to
the instruction afforded. A very fine organ
recital was given before the lecture by Mr.
Homer A. Norris a gentleman who bids fair
to take high rank among musical artists. His
selections were excellent and played with great
taste and expression. He has lately come
among us and is already great acquisition to
our church organists Miss Long rendered
two beautiful selections with great sweetness
and delicacy of execution. Her voice possesses
much richness in its present state and gives
promise of greater power

Aroostook Lands.

An exchange says there is great deal OF ex-
callsnt uncleared land in every town and plan
tation in Aroostook. There are many whose
farms comprise some hundreds of acres, much
more than they need or want for their own use
and who would sell to new comers who have
means OF paying. In other towns and planta-
tions are large tracts of uncleared land whlch
are not attached to any farm. This is the case
in the plantation of West field, which is next
south of Presque Isle, Oh the road to Houlton.
The settlers in that township are all on the
road through it, while on either side are hun
dreds of acres of the best land in Aroostook
which may be had for So per acre. Westtield
is one of the most desirable localities in Maine
There are whole townships of land, probably
equally as good, which were granted to the e.
I'm A. r. r. Company on condition that
when wanted the company are to survey it into
1OOacre lots and sell it to actual settlers for not
more than ST. per acre. These townships, OF
course, are away in the woods, with no roads
vet made to them The way to reach all this
land is to come by railroad and stop at Fort
Fairfield, Caribou or Pressure Isle, and from
either of these points start off and find the land
distant from SIX to twenty miles.
