Skeele of Augusta, consisting of praise and prayer and the repeating of many blessed promises of the Scripture, after wliieh reports of the churches were read by the scribe. Those from the larger churches were as a general thing encouraging and those from the smaller rather discourag ing, hut as a whole they were encouraging, considering the adverse circumstances. The following is a synopsis of the reports: Whole number of churches, 15: having pas tors, 1; having acting pastors, 8 expecting pastors called, 3; vacant, 3; total member ship, 1337; male, 367; female, 960. Of the total, 381 are non resident. Dur ing the year 41 have been "added by profession and 31 by letter. The losses have been 31 by death and 35 by letter, leaving a net gain of sixteen.

Rev. Mr. Chase gave an interesting report of the progress of building the new church in Hallowed, the discouraging prospect when he went there and the great improve ment and bright prospect at the present time. It is expected that in about two months the beautiful church will be completed and the society out of debt. A very interesting discussion then fol lowed on’the topic “Two Bibles or one. if one which If two, why The claims of the authorized version the claims of the revised version.” Opened by Rev. E. Chase who said that his choice to-day would be the King James version which has% come down to us through three centuries, with all of its blessed associations. Bro. 8. S. Brooks, Rev. J. T. Hawes favored the old version. Rev. W. C Curtis said he found great help in reading the two together. Rev. A. F. Skeele did not like the idea that to believe in the new version is to believe in a new bible. They are two translations of the same bible. The question is which repre sents the bible most accurately. Rev. Mr. Chase concurred in what bad been said but believed in bolding to the old version, and using the new as a commentary on it Others joined in the discussion. In the evening there was a praise meeting conducted by G. F. Hawes of Augusta, fol lowing which a sermon was delivered by Rev.

The meet ings were well attended and filled with in terest Crushed by Cur Wheel. Yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock, as the Gardiner accommodation train was back ing down upon the track in front of Nash's Block, a boy named Harry Shaw, ten years of age and a son of Lroenzo Shaw, who re sides on the east side, caught hold of the rear end of the foremost car and bis right foot, swinging beneath one of the car wheels, was crushed. The little fellow in his agony cried out at the top of his voice. He was at once taken to Dr. Brickett’s office where he was etherized, and that portion of the foot which was crushed, being all in front of the ankle, was amputated. His heel, only, was left which will enable him to walk with the aid of a cane, on recovery. This should be a warning to the many urchins who daily play about the station and repeatedly place themselves in places of imminent danger. Yesterday an unusually large crowd of boys, Harry being one of the number, had congre gated to see Barnuin’s bills which had just been posted upon the boards. General Order* Wo 5. H’d’q’ks Department of Maine, RAND A KMT OF THE REPUBLIC, j Assistant Adjutant General's Office, Augusta, Me., June 10th, 1885. As announced In previous orders, the 10th Nation al Annual Encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic will assemble in the city of Portland, Wed nesday, June 24. On Tuesday, June 23d, there will be a grand pa rade of the G. A. R., under the escort of the 1st and 2d Regiments, M- V. M., Gen. John Marshal Brown commanding. The c mimittee of arrangements have adopted a programme which cannot fall to please every com rade. Nearly all the Posts ot this department have notified the executive committee of their intention to be present during the encampment, and it is ear nestly urged by the department commander that every Post be present during the encanfpment, espe cially on the day of the parade. The Department of Maine is in excellent conditi >n, strong in numbers, Posts well officered, and harmony and good feeling prevail. The encampment at Portland will be a rare treat to every comrade, and to most of us probablv the last opportunity of meeting comrades of the old armies from every portion of the Republic. Comrades will appear in the uniform adopted by their respeo’ive Posts, and so far as possible unifor mitv in this particular is earnestly desired, especially in the parade ou Tuesday. The Department of Maine will be numerically the largest In line, and excellence of appearance depends almost as much upon uniformity of dress, as precision of movement. But the department commander trusts that no oom rade will refrain from participating in the parade and ether ceremonies because he has not the uniform of his Post. Every comrade should be in line with bis Po9t, uniformed or not. Where a full uniform is impossible, it is hoped a hat and cord and blue coat may be worn. Comrades of Posts which do not at tend as organizations, will join other Posts in line for the parade. Ample camp quarters will be furnished all Posts and comrades of this department. Posts which have been assigned quarters in camp, should provide themselves wi h blankets and clotn* ing suitable lor camping Commanders will see that their Posts are properly formed for the parade promptly at 9 o’clock on Tues day the 23d, at the cimp, which will be established ou the Eastern Promenade. It is recommended that all Posts go into camp Monday night, the 22d. In line of march no movement will be required except those with which every comrade is familiar, and the front on the march will be column of eigh bs, or two sets of fours. The line of march will not be over two miles in extent, so that no old comrade need have any fear of being fatigued. As it is impossible to procure horses for the use of the Department Maff,—which is much to be re gretted-Assistant Inspectors and Aides-de Camp will appear with their respective t’osts. The positions of Costs iu lin will be by battalions, composed ot Posts of the several counties, as far as practicable, positions to be determined by date of muster of Posts. Commanders of Posts and battalions will immedi ately Dotify Comrade Geo. L Beal, 409 Congress Street, Portland what band* or other music will accompany their several commands. Headquarters Department of Maine will be es tablished at No. 2 Market Square. Portland, on and alter Mon ?av, June 15th, at which place Post Com manders will report on their arrival in Portland Department officers. Assistant Inspectors an i Aides de-camp will report upon arrival in Portland, at headquarters of department. Comrade B. E. Beals, Assistant Quartermaster General, will be at department headquarters before and during the encampment, and any comrade de siring any description of G. A. R. supplies can pro cure them at prices guaranteed satisfactory. The Department of Maine, Grand Army of the Republic, extend a cordial invitation to ail old sol diers and sailors who servi d in the Union cause, whether members of the G. A. R. or nor, to be pres ent and participate with them in the ceremonies, festivities and eujoyments of the coming assembly of the representatives of the defenders of the repub lic, and assure them a soldier’s welcome. I,et every veteran of Maine join us, in one more grand re-union. Comrades of the Grand Array, use you influence to bring along your neighbors who were good soldiers, but have not yet joined the order. We are informed by the ex« cutive committee hav ing all arrangements in charge, that a circular, giv ing in detail the entire programme for the encamp ment, will be published iu a few days, which will be sent to each Post of the department. The time of running trains and rates of transpor tation can be ascertained by inquiry at the nearest railroad station. Hv command ot Jamk8 A. Hall, Dep’t Com. L. B. Hill, Ass't Adj Gen. I> VltIM.YKK.
