odist church in Gorham village, Sunday, p. M,
at half past two o'clock, under the direction OF
the Order of the knights OF Pythias, OF

Colby University.

The second term of Colby University COM
menced Wednesday evening, March 9Th, un-
der favorable auspices The first evening as is
customary, was devoted to congratulations and
hand shaking. The next morning, when we
went into prayers, there was feeling OF sad
ness in the air, and all with sorrowful eyes saw
the chair which our revered President has oc-
cupied for over eight years vacated, and knew
that he who had presided over this college
with the appreciation and hearty. approval OF
all, and against whom no word of dissatisfac-
ton was ever heard, but who was venerated by
the students, would probably never sit there
again. In / sing her President Colby has met
with loss which it will take earnest and dill
gent research to supply, and which in part will
probably never be supplied. But we hope
some man may be found to fill this vacancy

Mr.. EprroR;-My attention has been called
to an error in my article on the special DOCKET
published in the Press q day or two ago, IN
which referred to person whose name is re-
corded on said docket, and who is now lectur-
ing on temperance in England. Although the
same name does appear on the docket, upon
further examination it does not appear to be
the same one to which referred. By exam
nation it appears that the person to whom
referred was tried for murder, convicted OF
granddaughter, and sentenced to jail 1or tne
term of two months. L very cheerfully make
the correction, as do not intend knowingly
to misrepresent any one.
