prayer and the reading of Kings, viii, on
Solomon's dedication of the temple and his
prayer for those who turned their face towards
it and prayed to their God. Then came the
conservation of the workers to the work, which
was a most blessed service as the Spirit o: the
Holy One was manifest to all. This service
lasted till half past one o'clock. At 2.3O p. m

well to put our beautiful new park in Deer
ing's Woods, into the care of Commission,
similar to that which has so we'll managed the
affairs of Evergreen Cemetery; in no other
way can the improvements be economically
made upon well-considered plan; let there
be three commissioners, each to hold his place
three years, and one to go out each year, as
this would ensure steadiness and permanence
in the management"
Mr.. Franklin Simmons, the sculptor now in
Portland, remarked the other day, that re-
turning to his native State after an absence of
some years abroad, he was struck by the ad-
vance made in all matters relating to art. This
is seen in the formation Of art societies and art
museums, and particularly in decorative art,
in the style of wall papers, upholstery and
household adornments In these matters the
public taste has greatly improved within few
years past.

The high wind of Monday and Tuesday did
considerable damage in Fryeburg. Some
barns were unroofed, and others badly injured,
fences were Frustrated aud chimney on the
Congregational meeting house was taken of
close to the roof. Several timber lots were
very seriously damaged, and some roads made
impossible by the fallen trees.
In Kennebec county, on the North Belgrade
road, the large ell of the well known Dunn's
Tavern was demolished by the wind. In
Winthrop, the steamer Amarascoggin, which
was moored in Lake Maranocook, broke away
from her fastenings and drifted down upon the
rocks, where she was consi 1erably damaged by
chatting.
On the line of the Grand Trunk the wind
was very fierce. At Norway several houses
were unroofed and trees were blown down At
Paris Hill houses were unroofsd, and Tuesday
morning the villagers were busy clearing their
principal streets of the debris Of falling trees
and great branches, which choked it.
The gale of Monday unroofed the new Dunn
block at Waterville. 1t was tin roof. The
chimney on the house of f. W. knight was
blown off, and windows and blinds were
broken.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
LOB.


The was good advance sale of seats for the
performance of "7-2O-8" to be given at Port
land Theatre Friday and Saturday nights, and
the house should be crowded both evenings
judging from all we have heard of the play
from friends and exchanges. The piece is
adapted from Schonthau's Schwabenstreiche
II is an exceedingly clever piece Of work. The
lines are bright and epigrammatlc, the Wit
sparkling and fairly bristles with clever side
issues and sub-piots abounding in comlcal STU
atlcns. 1t is a most refreshing and amusing
play, full OF genuine humor and utterly Tree
from vulgarity and coarseness; play that
eyokes laughter, decorous laughter, in which
the risibilities are controlled by intelligence.
The company that interprets this play is an
admirable comedy company, and their ensem-
bic work almostsattains perfection. 1t is gem
uine comedy work that they present, and in
doing SO they offer the public an opportunity
OF proving that it can appreciate fun and hu-
NOR that is not mere buffoonery. Besides the
perfect ensemble, which is an evidence of in
telIigent subsection to stage discipline, there is
very marked individual ability noticeable. In
this the different characters are very strongly
individualized, and they, one and all, reflect
great credit upon their respective impersona-
tsrs.
NOTES.
There was DO performances in the Stock
given by the Kempa Ladies orchestra assisted
by Bartlett, the tenor, next Wednesday even
ing.
The Boston Journal speaking of the Hunga-
rian Gypsy Band says: 1.-THE Hungarian Gyp-
sy Band, has excited much interest in the city
during the last two months. There is some
thing indescribably fresh and attractive about
the performances of this half score of men,
and the musical student may find himself
much assisted in his understanding of many
important compositions by hearing the music
which they produce. 1t seems 10 furnish at
times link of connection between the music
of the Orient and Occident."
The latest matrimonial engagement reported
in New York circles is that of Miss Georgia
Cayvan, the well known actress, and Mr. Dan
Frohman, manager OF the Madison Square
Theatre in that city.
Mr.. Frank Evans, the boy mesmerist, Gre
ates lots of amusement at the Lyceum. His
experiments.are really wonderful and should be
seen by all.
The Boston Advertiser speaking of Booths

as he goes; he makes zone entire and perfec

| such phrase from the noble spirit whom b,

OFFICE OF THE CoNsoIIDATED Electric

OFFICE OF THE CONSOLIDATED ELECTRIC
LIGHT COMPANY OF MAINE, Nov. Is, 1883. !
The above communication has been sent g
our Office by the owners of the American
System of Arc Lighting" having been drawn
out in reply to an article in your paper of
Saturday, rejecting against the system and
business of our company. The Consolidated
Electric Light Company of Maine is corpora
ton in which many of the citizens Of Portland
and other sections Of the State have deep
interest," not alone that they have invested a
large amount of money in the enterprise, and
naturally desire the dividends which they be-
lieye the business will afford, but they also de-
sire that our city and State may not be behind
other sections of the country in the establish
ing and maintaining system of electric light
ing which is universally conceded to possess
great advantages over the old means of illu-
mination. Our comp any have adopted the
Thomson-Houston or American system, be-
lieviDg it to be the most perfect of any sys-
tenn now in use in this country, and we are
perfectly satisfied to leave the question OF its
superiority to the public and the users of our
lights. The assertion in your article that arc
lights cannot be produced and sold at profit,
Is not warranted by facts, as all the good sys-
TENS of arc lighting in the country are large
dividend paying of course an inferior light
cannot be maintained in competition with a

II has long been known that the raising Of Cattle
in Texas, NewMexico Arizona and other States and
Territories of the great west is and for many Year,
has been immensely profitable and the fame Of tho
Cattle Kings is world wide. Starting with small
means, these men within comparatively short
time, attained positions in the wcra Of business
and finance rivalling the famous Bonanza Kings Of
the Pacific Coast. Their success shows the results
of intelligent and perseverng efforts and the short
time which has been necessary for the achievement
Of that success proves conclusvely that investment
made In the cattle business rarely fails of returning
ratio of profit fairly astonishing to those not IA
miliar with the resources OF the great west. And
the almost absolute certainty with which the profit
can be relied upon win at once commend this class
of investment to anyone who viii take the trouble
to study the history of Stock in the western portions
of the United States, and more particularly Texas
New Mexico and Arizona Capital invested in cattle

returned by any other legitimate investment and at
the same time be free from the risks and uncer-
tsinties usually attending highly remunerative or
speculative business.
No safer investment could be offered.
