[From our Regular Correspondent
Mr.. Wright, of Bethel, has formed
class for the study of vocal music here,
and some forty or more have already
joined. The class for beginners meets in
the Methodist vestry each day at the close
of the day school, and the session for the
more advanced singers meets in the even
ing at the same place.
The Universalist society held socia-
BILE and supper at Central Hall Wednes-
day evening. Mr.. Morrison, who has
preached very acceptably for this society
during the summer, has returned to his
studies at Tufts College.
Geo. w. Merrill, of Portland, formerly
of this place, and a member of Highland
Lodge, K. of P. Bridgton, was buried
here by the Lodge Wednesday afternoon.
