what it really teaches" "Salva-
ton, Christian or Liberal, which,
Mr.. Reynolds comes with good req

and the hall will undoubtedly be
crowded at each Of his lectures. Ad-
mission free.
/ The students of the Olympia Col
legiate Institute will give an entertain
ment at Columbia Hall, this evening,
which will without doubt receive the
liberal patronage it deserves. By
special request, Longfellow's dramatic
poem, Courtship of Miles Standish,"
will be reproduced. The poem has
been rearranged since the private en-
tertainment last winter, enhancing the
dramatic effect of some portions of the
play. Songs and recitations will be
interspcrsed, and the entertainment
will conclude with novel and mirth-
provoking comedy. The admission is
% cents, reserved seats so cents, and
the proceeds are to be expended for
the benefit Of the Institute.
The ceremonies OF laying the corner
stone of the new Odd Fellows Temple
will take place Tuesday evening. The
lodge will meet at their hall at 7 o'clock
sharp and form procession under the
direction of the marshal, T. n. Ford,
and march down Washington street to
Second, from Second to Main, up
Main to Third, from Third to Column
bia, up Columbia to Fourth, thence on
Fourth street to Main, and up Main
to the site of the new temple, where
the ceremonies peculiar to the order
will be strictly observed. The orator
selected for the occasion is N. S. Por-
ter. The general management is I'M
der a committee composed of 7. C.
Van Epps, B. F. Snyder, and Joseph
Raisbeck.
Mr.. Chas. TalcOtt is actively en-
gagged in arousing popular sentiment
for ii town-clock to be placed in the
tower OF the new Odd Fellows Tenn
pie. This sentiment he hopes to form
ulate into something like six or seven
hundred iron dollars" the purchase
price Of first-class four-dial time
keeper with bell. The tower is de-
signed for that use, but the purchase
of a clock has not been determined
upon by the order, and unless it is
secured in the manner proposed by
MIR. T., through private subscription
and benefit entertainments, several
years may intervene before our COM
munity will receive the benefit of a
regulator" on a large scale. 1t is
hoped that Charley will receive en-
cOuragemcnt from all.
1t is now safe to announce that
Olympia will celebrate the Fourth
of July. During the week II subscrip-
ton paper has been circulated with
very good success, about $3.50 having
thus far been secured. A meeting
will be held on Tuesday evening next
to make the preliminary arrangements
and receive any further contributions
that any Of our citizens may feel able
to give. 1t is to be hoped that there
will be money enough raised to pro.
vide good display of fireworks. NJ
CITY in the world has better facilities
tor their display than Olympia. The
bay is always smooth, the new
Long Wharf will accommodate thou
sands of people. and fireworks are
displayed to better advantage on the
water than anywhere else, and with
greater safety to property.

that Mr.. Pierce has ample means t
run the mill to its full capacity

George Goodrich, gentleman who hal
had large experience in the milling
business, has been installed as super
intendent. Mr.. Pierce visited Portland
this week for the purpose of procuring
the necessary machinery for the i'm
provements he intends introducing
There is no reason why lumber apt
shingles cannot be manufactured her
with q good profit.
There has been much interest man
ifested in the projected building o
the Odd Fellows Temple. and it may no
