The attendance at the stereopt icon
lecture at the Congregational church on
the evening of Thanksgiving Day was
not as large as at previous lectures. The
lecture, however, was up to the usual
high standard OF excellence. The sub
ject was "Southern Switzerland, and
the views of the grand scenery Of that
country were fine. The lecture was read
by B. B. Whitcomb. The sixteen views
of Bar Harbor and FreDchman's bay,
from photographs taken by l. L. Halman,
were very interesting. The stereoptcon
prelude was of yellowstone Park, and
several views OF that wonderland were
shown.
Rev. w. r. Hunt has accepted the call
to the pastorate of the Unitarian church
in this city, which has been without a
pastor for the past year. He announced
his acceptance from the pulpit last Sun
day after his morning sermon. He out
lined briefly the position he thought the
church should occupy in a community
that it should lead, not follow. He asked
the cooperation Of the members of the
church here in the work to be done. Mr..
Hunt has occupied the pulpit of the
| church here for several Sundays past, and
the impression he has made has certainly
been most favorable. Prominent mem
bers of the Unitarian society feel that the
society is to be congratulated on securing
Mr.. Hunt pastor.

Judge, but it is not likely there will be
any trials at this term. The municipal
court convenes the first Tuesday of each
month, for a term of four days.
