st Mary's Church, Orange
County. and ST. Matthew's Church,
Hillsboro, enjoyed and were
strengthened by a visitation from the
Rt. Rev. T B. Lyman, d. d, Bishop
of North Carolina, on Tuesday the
29th of May. One was confirmed
in the country and three in town, OF
whom two were men, a proportion
which should not be remarkable, in.
asmuch as God, in His calls, makes
no distinction Of persons. The
Bishop, notwithstanding his ad
vanced years, breaches with bis
usual vigor, and shrinks from no
necessary work. During the past
year he has visited about as many
points as 10 former years and con-
tirmed over 500, which was 200
more than in the year before, and
about the same as in the last year of
the undivided Diocese. TO show
the steady advance since the di-
vision of the Diocese, it is right to
note that the number confirmed in
the present Diocese Of North Caro-
liua n the last tour years almost ex-
actly equals the number in the old
Diocese, including the whole State,
in the last tour years of its existence.

TRY II ONCE.

TO the man who has tried every other
remedy for Blood PoisonS. we commend
the following experience OF Il we'll
known IN
The Portland daily press., 1888-07-13
THE BLOW,
And the Damage 1t inflicted In This
Vicinity.

A strong northerly gale, yesterday, follow
ed the stiff southwest wind of Wednesday,
and a good deal of damage was done by the
wind, although of not great pecuniary value
The wind blew at the rate of forty miles
an hour and toppled over several chimneys--
one particularly on Middle street--tore small
limbs off from trees, and in one instance, re-
quired the staying of large tree ON Me-
chanic street to prevent its doing injury
The sidewalks on High, Park and State
streets were covered with branches and
leaves. A large limb was broken from an
elm tree in front of Dr. Woodman' residence
on State street, and two more large elm limbs
lay in the street In front of State street
church. Many awnings were torn, half of
the Custom House flag was blown away, and
and the Casco Bay Steamboat Company were
obliged to take in their canvas signs at the
head Of Custom House wharf to save them
from being completely destroyed.
Outside the harbor heavy sea was run
ming, but inside the wind blew so strong that
no waves could stand before it and the water
was quite smooth
The little steamer Isis broke from her
herself through all the vessels at anchor in
the harbor down to Peaks Island, where she
went ashore at Scott's landing, but suffered
NO injury.
Mr.F.RFarrington's boat was washed away
at Little Diamond and found at Evergreen
Landing.
An electric light wire ON Free street was
broken down, and also several of the tele-
phone and telegraph wires.
The streets were we'll washed by the floods
OF rain.
The schooner ]. c. Bibber. while lying al
Franklin wharf, parted her bow lines during
the night, and narrowly escaped drifting out
into the stream. The bark Nidat arrived late
Wednesday afternoon and anchored in the
harbor; during the squall that evening she
dragged both Of her anchors. Fortunately a
third one was thrown over just In time to
save her from drifting upon the flats.
Yesterday morning Patrick Hughes, Will
liam Jeffries, Frank Mitchell, Michael Hines,
and the boss, Mr.. Kelley, went to work to re-
move the rafters from the roof of old City
Hail. They had one of the rafters, on the
eastern end, lowered all right, when the wind
took the most of the others, and, with crash
They fell to the lower floors, carrying some Of
the men with them. Frank Mitchell was
badly cut about the head, and one of the other
men bruised about the arms and legs. DR.
King dressed MitchelPs wounds and later in
the afternoon all the men were at work again
As the rest of the rafters fell later, Mayor
Chapman and Marshal Hawkes. had the
building roped in, and Hooks No. pulled
down standing chimney and all dangerous
debris
The Portland daily press., 1888-07-13
A Jolly Occasion.

The Ladies of Bosworth Relief Corps, to
the number of upwards of thirty. yesterday
visited Mr.. and Mrs. +. G.. Rich at their
beautiful summer residence at Falmouth
Foreside, and partook of their bountiful
hospitality. and enjoyed one of the most de-
lightful excursions of the many this veteran
organization has participated in. Mr. and
Mrs. Rich provided everything possible in
the way of amusements, music, croquet, tar
get practice, boating, etc. Miss Eva Nc
Grath was awarded the prize for best shot at
the target. while Mrs. Harlan Ingalls, took
the leather medal for the poorest shot, the
latter hitting a scare-crow standing rods
away from the target A bountiful dinner
was served in the commodious cottage ad-
joining the residence, to which ample Justice
was done. The afternoon was pleasantly
passed with music and games, and the party
returned to the city at a seasonable hour, all
delighted with the days enjoyment and eager
for recurrence of the same. Mr.. John B.
