Rsadhe!d Granue.

A well attended meeting of Readfield
Grange was held, last Saturday. In the
forenoon after the regular business was
attended to, Lecturer Clifford opened
the question box and the subject pre-
scented related to the wall about Jeru-
salum, dimensions and method of con-
struction. Brother Weston was called
upon for remarks and gave an interest
ing description of the wall and the sur
rounding country. Brother Clifford
gave an account of Friends Minister,
Eli Jones' interesting lecture on this
subject. Mrs. II. b. Poole spoke in re-
lation to the subject and promised at
an early day to collect and present
some of the writings of Minister Jones,
relating to his travels in the Holy Land.
The subject of cooperating in the dis
posal OF fruit was considered, and A. L.
Clifford was delegated to ascertain
what can be done in this direction.
In the afternoon, the Grange choir
gave some good selections, and a duet
by Brother E. A. Cottle and Sister Es-
Their Cottie was well received. A selec-
ton by the secretary, Mrs. Beale, was
read relating to life on a farm, ard
leading thoughts in this We're consid-
cred.
The fact that Sister Grace w. Davis
was now an inmate of the Central
Maine hospital for treatment, was an
nounced by Bro. Weston, and on his
motion, the secretary was requested f
extend to Sister Davis the sympathy OF
| the Grange, and the hope for her speedy
recovery.
An invitation was received from
Winthrop Grange to attend the meeting
and supper of that Grange, on Tuesday
evening, next, and it was voted tc
extend thanks for the invitation and
the announcement that as many as
could conveniently attend would do so

In the intended change of the armory
of Company A, OF the National Guard,
the company will be transferred to par
ticularly suitable and agreeable drilling
quarters. Since the organization of the
Gardiner company its armory has been
at the Coliseum, which is owned and
managed by the Board of Trade, and
these headquarters have been furnish
cd by the city as provided by law. The
rent Of the building for the armory
taken with the cost of heating lighting
and janitor's services has been consid-
cradle and it is thought that by the
change which is now in progress of ar
rangement this expense can be dimin-
ishcd considerable to the citys advant-
age. The new hall in question and
which will doubtless be secured for the
new armory is the hall in the Goodspeed
block, which has only recently been
vacated by the lodge of the Knights Of
Pyth;as. This hall is sufficiently large
to allow the usual drilling of the COM
rany, and the adjacent anterOoms will
afrcrd a proper place for the company
lockers. The matter is now in process
of adjustment as provided for in an
order PASSED at the meeting of the city
government, Monday evening, at which
time a board was appointed to make
the arrangements is possible.
