Rev. DIR. Torrey of Yarmouth preached in ex-
change with the pastor from Psalms lxxxiv, 2: sMy
heart and my flesh erieth out for the living God
The Psalmist did not believe in God of gold or
silver ian inanimate being but in a living God.
Those only who look to Him in faith as David did
realize His living presence and power to HELM
That He does not grant all we ask does rot prove

Union Steamboat Company.

AT the meeting of the creditors of the COM
pany, held at the Preble House, Saturday at
p. M, it was voted to refuse the cffer Of the
company to pay its debts in company stock.
Some of the creditors said they would accept
% cents on the dollar.
In the evening at 8 o'clock the stockholders
met at the same place, with j. M. Garter in
the chair, and f. 81. Kinsman, secretary. Mr..
G. A. Sparrow, holding 1900 shares, offered
to release enough stock to pay, at its par value,
the So, 900 floating debt of the company, and
as much more as would give the rest of the
stockholders working majority of the stock.
Mr.. G. A. Maxwell then had word to saw
He wanted committee appointed to examine
the books of the concern, to which the chair
replied an expert had found them all right
except in the iootiDgs. Mr.. Maxwell then
arraigned the management of the concern in
sharp terms. He said that Messrs. W. G..
Davis and W & @. R. Mllliken would come
in, take the stock, pay the debts, and especially
the labor bills, and look out for the company if
the present manager, O. A. Sparrow, was re-
tired and change made in the board of
directors. These gentlemen might ask re-
duction in the price of the stock. He could
not say when he could present their offer in
writing.
Mr.. Sparrow said he was ready to give any
proposition made due consideration.
Capt. Sterling, W. X. Neal, M. S. Gibson,
Washington Libby and VIM. Batty made re-
marks, and Mr.. Gibson thought the Davis
Milliken proposition very important one,
and he thought Mr.. Maxwell should have time
to confer with those gentlemen and get an
answer in writing.
On motion of Mr.. B. D. Verrill, committee
OF three, composed of Capt j. 7. Sterling,
Chas. A. Maxwell, and William Batty, was
appointed to devise plan for the settlement
OF the liabilities of the company, find out
what creditors and other persons will CO.
operate in said plan, and report at future
meeting to be held at the Preble House at 7.3O
p. m. Thursday, Sept. 18th.

Merchants Exchange Hotel Saturday. W.
Fl. Jewett, Ell. w. Fletcher and W. L. SAWYER
were the provisional committee. Mr.. B. W.
Smith, editor of the Lewiston Labor Advocate
who was present, thinks Butler and West will
receive great vote in this State in Novem.
Der. perhaps as high as 10000 votes. He
thinks many of the old Greenbackers, besides
Republicans and Democrats will make up this
vote. he says he knows of lots of people who
voted for Eaton, Robe or Redman who will
vote for Butler. The Rockland Opinion and
Springyale paper, formerly Greenback are also
supporting Butler. The headquarters OF the
Peopl els Party will be in Portland.
1t is understood the convention OF the Peo-
ple's Party will be held at Lewiston early in

TAKEN FROM UNDER HIS HEAD.
How BOSTON Drummer Lost His Wntch
and Money on the Portland Steamer.


The Boston Globe says that George @. HITCH
ems, drummer for an Arch street firm, took
passage on steamer fremont at Portland Fri
day evening to 60 to Boston. While perambu.
lating around the decks and cabin he noticed
young fellow keeping close watch of him.
He, however, paid no attention TO it, but con-
tinued to walk around until he began to get
sleepy. While he was at the clerks desk reg
istering for berth, he noticed that the indi-
vidual who had been watching him called Tor
the berth directly under him. That excited
MI. Kitchens suspicious somewhat, as there
were more desirable berths that the fellow
could have engaged. Kitchens determined to
take extra precautions against being robbed,
and before retiring he placed his vest, which
contained a valuable gold watch, chain and
$13 in money under his pillow, and he suppos-
ed If any one attempted to take it he would
awake. Being somewhat tired he slept sound,
and when he awoke at 6 o'clock a. M Saturday
the steamer was fast at her dock in Boston,
having arrived an hour previous. On remov-
ing his pillow, he found that his vest had been
taken from under it while he was asleep.
When he made known his loss to one of the
officers of the boat, the man that occupied the
berth under him had left the vessel. On search
being made the vest was found in the forward
part of the steamer, minus the watch, chain
and money. There is no clue to the thief

The Visit of smart Posi- G. A. R.

The Cambridge Chronicle speaking OF the
late visit of Smart Post, No. 80, to this city
says:
The Post is loud in its praises of the treatment re-
ceived at the hands of the Bosworth's, whose
Latch string was out at full length. Favorite
comment is also made of the gentlemanly treat
ment displayed by the proprietor of the United
States Hotel, Mr.. Will Fl. Mcdonald This gentle
man made an error in his estimate given to the
committee of the Post for their entertainment but
man fashion, he held to the agreement, notwith-
standing that he suffered a loss thereby, The
"boys" not only appreciate his adherence TO con-
tract agreement but they speak of him as a Boni-
face who knows how to keep hotel, which they
cordially recommend to the travelling public. The
captain OF the fremont which transported the
Post to Portland, testified his respects for the
personalities of the Grand Army in manner ac-
ceptable and warmly appreciated by them. They
feel under deep obligation to the captain and de-
sire to tender their thanks to him for courteses
extended. The excursion of Post 80 to Portland
will never be forgotten, and the Post will await
the opportunity of greeting the BosWorth Post in
Cambridge at no distant day

Speaking of the Hotel Dam, in New York,
kept by an old Portlander, Mr.. A. j. Dam,
the New York Reporter says:
"The refined elegance of the Hotel Dam is
growingly appreciated. Mr.. Dam built the
structure with personal regard to all Its details,
had it finished in costly and artistic manner,
and opened the hotel with every department
as perfect as long experience and liberal ex-
penditure could make it. From the beginning
the Hotel Dam has been favored by the best
class of people. No hotel in town is patronizsd
more hatteringly to its management than the
