The new constitution provides for a
Supervisory Committee composed of
the Pastor and officers ex-officio. A
complete change was made IN the sys-
tenn of rewards at meeting of the

away with as an experiment. Re-
wards will be given for attendance
and verses committed on basis near
ly the same as by the ticket system.
Special rewards are to be given for
committing to memory the verses of
the Regular Sabbath lesson. Rev.
Shoup also offers a special premium

judges, and Col. McRobie. secretary.
The opening and closing addresses
were made by James M. Foley. He
adduced some astonishing figures ex-
hibiting the devastating evils of war.
Some of the statistics advanced by
the opposition, were shown to be in
accurate.
Mr.. Joseph Foster followed on the
part OF the negative. His eloquent
addresses were listened to with mark
ed attention. His attempt. however,
to prove that God is the auther of
war, was not appreciated.
Mr.. William E. George advanced
to the stand and read an exhaustive
essay on the crimes which are in
separable from war. The evils of in
temperance were fully recognized,
but those of war were shown, by his.
torlcal facts and force of logic to be
supefiatively greater. Mr.. Georges
second address was delivered i'm.
promptu and it made deeper i'm
preston than the reading of the ESSAY.
He ssetched. in glowing language,
the oevastations. which followed in
the trail of Genghis- Khan, who, with
fire and sword, overrun various
Asatic nations. The wars of the
Creeks, Romans. Carthagenians, Per
siaHs Modes, and Babylonians were
also yiyidIy depictured. To cap the
climax, he showed from the writings
of DIR. Dck, and the speeches of Ed
mund Burke in the British Parlia-
ment, thai So times the present pOpu-
lation of tie earth, or at least 81, 900,
100000 of he human race were de-
stroyed by var. 1t is conceded that
the arguments of Mr.. George, alone,
were amply ufficient to cause victory
to perch on he banners of the affirm
alive.
A. F. Georre followed on the mega
tive. His remarks on the grammati-
cal construction of the proposition
under discussion were not approved.
He appears, htwever, to be we'll &C.
quainted with the productions of
various writer, on the evils of in
temperance, ard both his addresses
were received BY the audience with
loud applause.
Col. McRobie advanced to the in
telIectual contest with that ecIat
which distinguished him in by-gone
years. In his first and second adj
dress, he made many witty remarks,
while, at the same time his capacious
memory unfohed treasurer of his
torical information which could not
be successfully refuted.
must not omit to mention that
Mr.. Theodore Beckman participated
in the great discussion. His peculiar
style of oratory and his laughable
witticisms made deeper impression
upon the minds of the judges than
the more studious arguments of his
colleagues.
At the conclusion of the discussion,
the president, r. j. West, announced
that the victory should be award
ed to the affirmative. The assistant
judges, however, oyerruled him and
decided the matter in favor of the
negative. The result astonished some
of the speakers, no less than it sur
prIsed the large audience of ladies
and gentlemen who were present on
the occasion.
The affirmative claim that Injustice
was done them by the assistant judy
es, and they desire to re.discuss the
same subject with their opponents, as
soon as arrangements therefor can be
made.

Bowery Beach,


Elder duck ("old sea duck') are very plentv
on the shallow grounds off the Cape. Yester-
day flock of these sea fowl to the number Of
about 800 approached within a few yards of
tae shore and performed series of manueu-
vres very like military organization, and
highly interesting to the beholder. One mo-
ment they would be swiftly marching (swim-
mine) IN columns of fours' when the
order would apparently be given
right Tor lef) face,p and they would stimuli
taneouslg take up the new direction with the
precision OF battalion on drill. Several coun-
termarches were executed in splendid STYLE
at the fancled order to "lie down." every
duck would disappear beneath the wave,
What made the movements of these birds
seem all the more like military evolutions
was the presence of scouts and skirmishers
(sea gulls) thrown out in advance and on
either Hank. These latter birds always con-
sort with the elder duck, and while they rem
der signal service as danger monitors, they ex-
act payment by ,plundering the ducks of their
hard earned food.

Arrival of the steamer WOODBURY..

The Revenue Steamer Woodbury. arrived in
the harbor last night direct from the wreck Of
the English schooner "Wide Awake" on Two
Bush lodges. The schooner has beaten well
up on the rocks and is badly stove and dam
aged. She will probably be total loss. The
Woodbury., after picking up the crew on the
morning of the 7th instant, remained in
the vicinity Of the wreck for 48 hours in homes
of being able to get near enough to reach her
lines and haul her off, but she lay over an
eighth OF a mile in upon the lodges and the
southery gale made the sea too heavy to at
tempt such thing.

are packing meats this winter at the Frederic

operate in the fishing season, factories at Ma
