CLOSES an interesting report of the convention
as follows:
We can scarcely conceive OF gathering of
grander more intelligent, conscientious wo-
men than were convened in Belfast at this
meeting. The hospitality of the citizens Of
this city cannot he surpassed. The general
verdict is that all We're right royalty enter
tanned. \ circumstance the history of
the newly elected General Secretary eNcites
no small degree of favorable comment. Some
few wears ago when out the great ocean
accompanying her husband, who was cap
tam of the vessel which bore them to a for
| eign port, sickness came after embarking ON
the homeward voyage and the vessel was
left without commander. The ifeless form
of her protector was board land was
| brought home for burial, } but the brave
| heart of Mrs. Mckeen rose above the pillows
| of adversely, and summoning to her aid the
| knowledge Of navigation which she had ac-
| uured while out on these ocean voyages
| with her husband, she took command of the
vessel and brought her safely into the port
from which she sailed. 1t is considered a
favorable omen of great significance that
Mrs. Mckeen is at this time called to assist
in the management of the Non-Partisanship
of Maine. A successful voyage is predicted.
