mas dinner for the poor desire to express
their thanks to our citizens for their gener-
Gus contributions of food and money. Nearly
one hundred dollars, besides large supplies of
provisions, were cordially given. and it is be-
lieved that with more thorough canvass of
the city the gifts would have been still larger.
An effort was made to ascertain the name and
size of every deserving family. As result,
one hundred and fifty households were fur
nished with we'll filled bags. So far as they
were known, the sick were remembered with
delicacies in the way of chickens, grapes and
oranges, and through the kindness of lady
who loves children large bag of candy was
contributed for the happiness of many little
ones.

The Governor and Council were in session
yesterday forenoon and heard the priest of
the Penobscot tribe of Indians who COM
planned that the Indians we're not allowed to
fish and hunt under the laws of the State at
certain seasons of the year, while in a treaty
made with Massachusetts previous to the
time Maine became State it was stipulated
that they should be allowed to fish and hunt
at their pleasure. The matter WAS tabled.
The same priest had previously presented the
grievances of the tribe to the Governor of
Massachusetts. The report of the visiting
committee to the Insane Hospital was pre-
scented. The Council adjourned in the af-
ternoon to meet next Tuesday and they will
be in session during the remainder of reunion
week.
