Professor Robipson,. Funeral.

The fn.sSccsrsl services of Prof F. A. Robinson
were held at Kent's Hill, Wednesday, at
o'clock. After prayer by the Rev. j. B.
Lspham, the remains, followed by relatives
aud friends among the latter the faculty and
students of the Maine Wesleyan Seminary-an
institution with which the Professor has been
connected for many years-were taken to the
church where further services were conduct
ed. There was rupture reading and prayer
by the Rev. D. B. Randall. Rev. e. NJ.
Smith, president of the Seminary, reviewed
briefly the life of the deceased, speaking more
particularly of him as teacher and friend of
students. The Rev. Charles Munger followed
with fitting remarks, dwelling largely upon
the Christian character and manness of the
departed friend, all of which could be apprec-
ated by those acquainted with. him. Closing
remarks were made by the Rev. J. B. lap
ham, who bad known Professor Robinson to
love aud esteem him. The choir, under drec-
ton of Prof. w. E. Morse, rendered appropri-
ate music. The floral decoration was very
haantifnl.

The Mistake of Moses or EngersoII.
WhIchS

The above was the theme of an able lecture
by Gen. s. It. Gary of Ohio at City Hall last
evening. 1t was in substance adefense of the
Bible against the SCOTS of skeptics and infdels,
and as such was able, scholarly and convincing.
Particular attention was given to the attacks
: by Ingersoll and others upon the authenticity
OF the writings of Moses, and many of the argu-
ments put forward by this class of men were
squarely met and forcibly refuted. The
lecture was one to which every believer in the
Bible could say amen. 1t was not sectarian
but it was Christian. The illustrations were
happily chosen and child could understand
the able defence made, SO plainly was it stated
The lecturer gave evidence not only of
thorough knowledge of the subject itself but
OF all the bearings OF science, history and
morality upon it as well. Although speaking
with great earnestness for two hours, he show
ed no signs of fatigue aud his audience were
held to the very last word. Gen. Cary possesses
in remarkable degree the powerof holding
the close attention of his audience, and no
lecturer in this city of late has been more sac
cessful in this respect. Gen. Cary has con-
sented to repeat the temperance lecture that he
gave few weeks ago at City Hall Sunday eye-

Arrival OF lI.e Ontario,

The Ontario of the Dominion Line, from
Liverpool via Halifax, arrived at this port YES

passage and brought one cabin and thirty
steerage passengers, fine herd of twenty
eight Hereford cattle for Illinois, and a good
ca go of 1000 tons.

The Workingmen,s Course.

In the lecture given by Mr.. Morrill, last eve
ming, upon the Composition of Air" the dan
ger arising from bad ventilation was dwelt up
on. He said that carbonic acid gas, which we
are constantly exhaling, and which also being
one of the products of fire, every gas jet and
lamp gives off, is poisonous, and that to inhale
it is to endanger health and life. The air in
the theaters of London has been examined af-
ter 1890 p. No., and in some cases found to con-
tain all the way from 10 to 20 parts of carbonic
acid gas to 10000 parts of pure air. Now to
breathe more than six parts of the gas to 10000
of pure air is unhealthy, and 1t can be easily
seen how needful it is to have good ventila
ton.
The lecture was well attended, and it is very
motto cable how the number of our citizens has
steadily increased the audience from the first

religious literature is one of the main objects

lost during the ages OF papal darkness. Hence
they claim to be reformers, holding up old
truths, restoring old paths, and repairing the
breach made in Gods law"
