The Juvenile Club with the assistance
of the ladies, gave a raspberry festival, at
the church. last Wednesday evening, Aug.
%. for the purpose Of procuring money to
buv an organ for the church. Everything
passed off pleasantly. The attendance was
quite good. About $500 we're realized
toward the organ. The ladies and children
who interested themselves in this festival,
deserve much credit and praise.
The weather has been quite cool of late.
Visitors still continue to come. while others
are taking their departure for home.

The Excursion from Franklin.

Under the supervision of the Rev. Mr..
Bennett and +. J. Swan, the stauuch little
steamer Electa was chartered and notices
posted that on August %, there would be an
excursion to Bar Harbor SO We aere fav-
ored with the first steamboat excursion that
ever left Franklin.
Some parties IN town for some reason or
other, made themselves busy circulating all
kinds Of reports that the boat was not safe,
she vas crank, would upset. she leaked,
would blow up, etc, etc, but, nevertheless,
at an early hour on the morning Of the 23rd
the whistle of the Electa vas heard down
the bay, and the roads were full OF men,
women and children on their way for the
excursion. The boat steamed up to BaIs-
dell Bros. dock where it was met by scow
load of some - to so anxious souls. When
all were safely on board she steamed down
to the anchorage, where We were met by
another scow load of about the same num-
Der. including the Franklin Cornet Band,
which, will say right here. are gentlemen
and did themselves great credit by furnish
ny such excellent music and so much Of it,
What is an excursion without q band'
When all were on board must say some of
the party Just held their breath expecting
every moment to be upset before We got start
ed, but after being assured by Capt True he
being good man and a true man, that
there was no danger, and seeing Capt. Viii
liams at the wheel as pilot, all felt safe and
breathed easier. We glided down the bay
in few minutes. we're saluted by the whis-
ties of all the mines and the little ferry boat
Transit, and arrived at the Falls at just
the right time, and so made no stop, the
little boat shooting through like sea duck.
When fairly through the band struck up a
lively tune and on We sped for Bar HarbOr
where We arrived about 8 O'Clock, and were
notified that We would have two hours at
that great summer resort to see the sights
and fashions. Some spent the time in wan
dering through the streets of the city, of
hotels and cottages, while others went to
ride on Rocky Mountain buckboards. The
time soon passed away, the whistle sounded
"all aboard" and we started for Crabtree's
Neck, arriving there about IL N, where it
was arranged TO have our picnic. All took
their baskets end started Tor the groves in
