climate. Last winter he went up into Wis

attack. 1T came upon me again very
acute and severe" he said. my joints
sweled and became inlamed; sore to touch
or almost to look at. Upon the urgent re-
quest of my mother-in-law l tried Cham
berlain's Pain Balm to reduce the swelling
and ease the pain and to my agreeable sur
prise it did both. have used three fifty-cent
bottles and believe it to be the finest thing
for rheumatism and swcllings extant. For

The Athletic Exhibition.

The athletic exhibition to be given at
City Hall this evening under the auspic-,
es of the Portland Athletic Club, pro M
Uses to be not only an admirable display
of the skill of our well known young
amateurs in all departments calculated
to produce muscular development, a
quick eye and perfect command of the
limbs, but also novel exhibition mas
much as it will introduce many features
hitherto uninterrupted on any stage in
Portland. There will be feats on the
bars, rings and wire, club swinging of
the champion class, boxing and fencing.
and a most exciting foot ball game. The
advance sale of seats insures large
house, SO if you want to see the perform
ance it would be wise to get a seat at
Stockbridge's early this morning.

The storm.

1t was a real touch of winter yesuer-
day. In the early morning we saw some
robins hopping about among the snow
flakes, and the song sparrows piped oc-
casionally, but when the wind began to
blow, hard and the snow-squalls came,
there were no more of these feathered
signs of spring. 1t showed all day and
it blew hard. Along the water front it
was a.sblizzard. The weather bureau
reports that up to Z o'clock five and a
half inches of snow fell, enough for
sleighing if 1t had not melted as fast as
it fell, almost
The wind reached it's height at ii
O'Clock in the forenoon, when it blew
twenty miles an ..hour at the bureau,
which indicates, very possibly, forty
miles an hour outside-a dangerous gale.
In the evening the snow was very
fine, almost rain. The streets were
white, the sidewalks slippery, and the
general aspect very wintery.
The electric light circuit from City
hall up to Preble street and North,
showed some disorder when the current
was turned on. 1t was found that the
ice and wind had broken wire.

woodbine Lodge Entertainment.

Few secret societies have the good for
tune to have among their members talent
of SO high character that they can con-
tinue a course of entertainments through
the winter with an entire change of pro-
gramme at every regular meeting as
Woodbine Rebekah Degree lodge Of Odd
Fellows has done. The secresy with which
these festivities have been conducted is re-
markable, for no one outside of the par
Elephants have had any knowledge that
anything special was to be brought out
until announced. While all of the
amusements of this society have been
pleasing, the last was more entertaining
and laughable than any Of the previous
ones. The success of the last entertain
ment is due to the untiring efferts of Mrs.
Maria FL. Briggs, who received many con-
CALCULATIONS for the admirable manner in
which it was carried out. The exercises
commenced with vocal selections, Gwen
ing on the Lake, by Mrs. Wish, Hodg-
kins, Pierce and Briggs, which was neat
ly executed and elected great applause.
The reading by Mrs. Lizzie Spaulding
entitled New Version of Mary's Little
Lamb was comical in the extreme and
it brought down the house. Threading
by Mrs. Howes was exceptionally fine;
she also entertained the audience with a
piano solo. The feature of the evening
was dialogue entitled IA Society for
Doing Good, but Saying Bad,' closing
with an exhibition of magic cards by Mr..
Joseph Wish, assisted by Mr.. James
Martin.
Mrs. Toner, visitor from the Ports
mouth lodge, was present, and after the
initiation of three new members, was
called on to say few words. In her re-
marks she said that she was surprised at
the large attendance, the hall being
packed with nearly half of the full mem
bership of the lodge. She also said tina
she had had the pleasure of visiting othe
lodges of Odd Fellows in Maine, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, and for
entertainments Woodbine surpassed
them all.

A CASE or DEviLTRY.
rnaccountable and Outrageous Proceed
ing in the Waiting Room of the Peoples
Ferry Company.

The waiting room of the Peoples. Fer
ry Company, on the end of Portland
Pier, is aroomy, comfortable place. It
is in charge or Mr.. William Gardner, who
has had the care of the waitingErooms
since the side-wheel ferry boats were
pat on. The room is left open till the
last trip, at 80, and is then locked up.
Saturday night Mr.. Gardner went home
early, and, during his absence, somebody
made vicious attack upon the tall stove
in the centre of the room. On both sides
above the door such heavy blows had
been struck by some heavy, round club
or stick of wood that space was fiat
tened for several square feet. 1t must
have been done purposely and out of
pure cussedness. The upper part of the
stove is more suggestive of crushed
hat than anything else. There isnobody
who is known to have grudge against
Mr.. Gardner or the company. Hitherto
there has been no disturbance in the
waiting room. The only trouble had
pooa tu6 ulSllSS VI Ll6f@ UOlltL IOOtu ny
rough drunken fellows. Constable Turner
of South Portland has an idea as to who
are the culprits.
This outrageous proceeding will not be
allowed to go unpunished. 1t could hard
ly have been done by drunken man, as
the best places were selected to make
deep dents.

THE OLE SOUTH.
A Meeting of Parrish officers Saturday
Night-Prospect of Changing the Name.


The bell of the Old South" church at
Bradley's Corner rang early Saturday
evening. 1t rings every year about this
time to announce the annual meeting OF
the parish officers, for there is still
parish organization, though there has
been no regular preacher for many years,
only infrequent services three or four
wears ago and none at all of late.
This meeting was called to elect offic-
ers and also for the special purpose ito
see if the parish will vote to instruct the
parish committee to petition the next
legislature to change the name of the
parish to The First Congre gational Par
ish of Deering.
This Old South was the meeting house
of Deering years ago when Parson Brad
lev preached and people used to walk
over there from Woodfords before the
Spring street Congregational church was
built some 20 years ago.
The parish still owns a good deal OF
property. There is the church and the
land, which is the best there is in the
locality and must sometime become very
valuable. There is, also school house
close to the church that came into pos
session of the parish as follows: Years
ago when the school house was built on
the church land, the deed read to
the effect chat SO long as the building
was used as a school house, the land
Should be rent free, but SO soon as it
was disused it should revert to the par
ish.
Two or three years ago when Deering
was town, the furniture of the school
house was inadvertently taken to Lib
by's Corner, the building was not used
for school, the parish took possession
and there was no help for it.
Among the prominent men of the par
ish are L. B. Chapman, Hon. Andrew
Halves, County Treasurer Daniel D.
Chenery, J. N. Reed Of Woodfords, and
others.
