THANKSGIVING.
A Walk Through Our Markets-The
Prices Of Poultry, Vegetables, etc.

OF course our first concern ia to enquire of
the prospects of full supply of poultry, par
ticularly turkeys. Considerable quantities
were received in Market lot yesterday, and
turkeys were selling from IS to % cents per
pound. The turkeys were of excellent quail
ity' Chickens are in fair supply at from IS to
zocents. Ducks and geese had net arrived in
su1nclent quantities to determine the price.
Most OF those received yesterday we're from
Oanada. The prices of course will be affected
py large amounts being brought in today or
tomorrow, but are Unexpected to vary much
from the figures above. Shipments of poultry
from Vermont to this market, it is Anticipated,
VIII not be large. The large shippers gener
any prefer Boston. II the market is loaded
mere, dealers say that poultry cannot be placed
low enough to be disposed of, while in Boston
sales may alwaysb be effected by reducing the
price.
Inc supply OF beef and mutton is large; lamb
lsscarce and commands from 10 cents for fore,
70 10 cents Tor hind quarters. The prices for
peet are as follows: Good sirloin roast, 20
cents; rib roast, II to 49, round steaks, IA;
rump steak, % cents for best cuts.
$50 ~-S - i@ii puPpiy al, iFeSu, DO 10 90
cents, "iimed'' at 30 cents per dozen. Cab
bages, turnips, and potatoes are in good sup
ply at about same prices as last year.
The supply of apples is far better than was
anticipated. farmers having held, as in some
cases, they are still holding, for higher prices,
The chances, however, considering the latest
reports from European markets of decline of
four to six shillings, are against rise, or even
maintaining of prices. Best of Baldwins and
other winter varieties said one dealer, are to
be had from $3.50 to 1878. Nodheads and
such varieties range from 81 to SIS per barrel.
The only oranges in the market are Floridas
at $4 to $4.5c per box. No Valencias as vet
There may be arrivals by English steamer.
Lemons are from 1915 to $3.50 per box. First
class apples Greetings and Baldwins--at SIS
cents per peck; other grades 25 to so cents
BY the barrel, best 81 to So; inferior grade,
| $3.50 to So. Cranberries are not plenty and
rule-high. For the Cape Cod Is cents per quart
! are obtained, and 10 for Maine. Rsisins are
worth from - to % cents.
Messrs. Thompson So Hall, Howard e. Soule
Ivory Bean, G. L. & E. d. Hodgdon, Com
mercial street wholesale firms, received an eg-
gregate of seven tons of poultry yesterday
The wholesale market here advanced yester-
day from 20 cents to % cents per pound for
turkeys. Chickens and fowls have also adj
vanced in the wholesale market.

INSTALLATION OF REV. MIR. BEL.
Lows.
Large Attendance at the Exercises East
Evening.

Park street church was filled last evening
on the occasion of the installation Of the
Rev. John A. Bellows of WatervilIe as
pastor of the society. About the pulpit was
tastefully arranged mass of evergreen, upon
which rested bright-hued flowers.
The exercises opened with an organ volun-
tary. Aninvocation was made by Rev. Frederic
rockingham of Milton, Mass, and prayer
offered by Rev Samuel Longfellow Of Cam
bridge. Trio, Lift Thine Eyes," "Elijab."
from Mendelssohn, was artistically rendered
by the choir. The sermon by Rev. Brooke
Herford, d. D.. of Boston, had all the strength
of simple. unaffected English The text taken
was from 18th Numbers, and the lesson of the
discourse was based upon the encouragement
of Moses at the repining of the Israelites over
their monotonous diet of mama The sermon
held the closest attention of the large audi
eEce. After the singing Of selected HYMN
by the congregation, the charge to the new
pastor was delivered by Rev. D. N Sheldon of
Wateryille, and the right hand of fellowship
extended to him by Rev. Thomas Hill, D. D..
OF Portland Rev, Grindall Reynolds of Bos-
ton delivered the address to the people, which
was an eloquent appeal for perfect under
standing and sympathy between pastor and
people at the outset. The hymn, "Old Hun
dred,' was then sung and the benediction
pronounced by the pastor.

A Sensation Created i'm Many Sections of
the Country.
A1ass evening the intense brilliancy of the
horizon Immediately after sunset led many
persons about town to believe that there was
great fire in the vicinity of the city. The un-
usual appearances. of the skies was well calcu-
lated to give such an impression to any person
not in position to make accurate observation.
A Poughkeepsie, N. Y. despatch states that
the IRE department was called ont at half-pass
i've last evening, and the fire bells rung be-
cause OF an extensive illumination of the
Southwestern part of the sky. Teleerams
from different points tell of the same phenom-
enon. The spectacle has been witnessed on
every clear evening for several days past, gen.
orally between quarter after and o'clock.
At Norwich, Conn, the remarkable sunset
OF last evening produced an unusual sensation
OF alarm in that city, New London and the
surrounding towns, About 80 p. M. when it
had become SO dark as to necessitate the use of
gas, the Southwestern sky, for height of 10
or 10 degrees above the horizon, was illuminat-
ed with blood red light, while the sky above
was almost black. Many believed that large
and disastrous confagration was raging. and
there were innumerable inquiries by telephone
and otherwise as to where the fire wac. The
sensation, however, was of shors duration.

At almost every meeting some new name is

The exhibition of the grammar and primary
schools at Point Village took place at the
schoolhouse on Friday of last week. The ex-

creditable. The Grammar school has been
under the instruction of Miss Margaret Pills

of years, and as teacher she has always given
universal satisfaction. Miss Alice Pillsbury
and Miss Mabel PARROT have had charge OF
the Primary school, and it has made much
progress under their management. The schools
in this district are more prosperous than ever
before. and the interest manifested in them by
the people is very praiseworthy

ARTERIUs WARD.



The Oxford Democrat publishes the follow
ing communication:
Artemus Ward, IS all your readers know
was an Oxford county boy. The whole Eng
lish speaking race paid him homage while he
lived, and well it might, for he was the bright
est OF American humorists. The other day l
read in Western newspaper, that his grave
in Waterford, marked only by an ordinary
slab, is neglected. Do the citizens of his ma
tive place know that such report is abroad?
There was talk soon after Wards death of
erecting monument to his memory; nothing
however, was accomplished. Every son of
Maine who has the soul of man within him,
has laughed at "a. Ward's'' quaint fancies
and brilliant criticisms and has felt proud of
him as native of the State. Notwithetand-
ing the fact that his memory will live forever,
should not the people of his native county
place some worthy testimonial upon his grave,
humorist was not without honor in his own
land?
There has been talk enough Let us act. I
propose monument to Charles f. Browne.
Let the citizens of Oxford county become the
leaders of the project and the press and the
people of Maine will assist in carrying it for
ward to complete Success. l am a-native of
Old Oxford county and poor, but I will
give $40 toward q suitable monument for the
grave of Browne. There are plenty more
ready to do the same when once they see the
work systematically undertaken. Agitate
this matter, Mr.. Editor, and try to induce the
people to take active measures in the direction
indicated. The cause is a worthy one.
