At this season of picnics, water parties and tire hundred other testive gatherings which warm weather, green fields and general holi day-making provide for our social enjoyment, there is a phenomenon visible in certain parts of England, Wales and Scotland, which not a little puzzles the uninitiated. It appears in various forms, and assumes various disguises. It creates a great deal of curiosity among ru ral races, a good deal of speculation among “country circles;” and has been known to bewilder itinerant peddlers to such an extent that their steps have been arrested, and they have encamped on the spot. The phenome non may be brifly described. The spectator, we will presume, is like eveiy one else, out for a holiday. Tourist-like, he has chosen some pleasant out-of-the-way corner, where he can escape from noise and business, and devote himself to the beauties of scenery and the hearty enjoyment of country life. The time is 12.30 P. M.; the day hot and languid; the place a retired dell, or an orchard, it may be, attached to some farm-house in North Wales or Devonshire. Suddenly he sees stretched along the grass before him about half-a-dozen young men lolling in every atti tude some are lying on their sides, some on their backs, with flannel caps pulled over their faces; one or two are propped against a tree; railway rugs, sofa cushions, and bolsters are scattered promiscuously about. Yellow backed novels, newspapers and magazines strew the ground. Here a dilapidated Greek lexicon is reclining, open-leaved and crushed as though it had been “shied” at the gentle man in whose neighborhood it lies. Clouds of tobacco smoke curl lazily into the air, and ever and anon comes the gentle purring of the hookah, the property of a languid looking youth, who has just observed that ho would like to hang himself, but, as no one has no ticed his remark, has applied himself with some vigor to “keeping his hookah in.” Two or three dogs are chopping dreamily at the flies: gurgling murmurs of laughter ripple up now aud then from two of the recumbent fig ures, who, collarless, waistcoatless aud hat less, with their hands upon their heads and pipes in their mouths are propping up on their knees Punch or Bret Harte’s last. One curious figure, apparently the only one of the whole group who, to judge from his contract ed brow and bepuzzled face, does not seem to be at his ease, has two books before him on the grass, which he seems to be painfully comparing, with no satisfactory result. A glance at the volumes indicates that one of them is the estimable “History of Thucyd ides,” in Greek, the other the equally esti mable “crib” furnished by Mr. Bobo. The only specimens of real animated nature con ueoieu wnu uie scene is a Doy wuo seems to be constantly travelling to and from the neigh boring house with a tray. Brandy and soda, claret “cup,” ebb and flow from the aforesaid house all day long, as regularly as the Euri pus, to the fervent admiration ot mine host in the neighboring tavern, in whose society the young heroes usually pass their evenings. This interesting scene is suddenly enlivened by the arrival of a new comer, and an observ ant spectator would probably mark two inci dents connected with the said new comer’s arrival. He appears to introduce a disturb ing element; two or three yellow-backed nov els seem to be suddenly transformed into dingy-looking note-books; the languid-looking youth with the hookah has got a Yirgil opeu; the Greek lexicon is all at once deferentially consulted by the gentleman in whose neigh borhood it lies. The next incident connected with the new arrival is the commencement of a brisk con versation. “Now this is really loo bad,” ob serves the new comer; “a fortnight gone and not a stroke of work done; two of you fellows have been ploughed twice, and Kobinsen has bad three shots at Mods. Jones had eight howlers in his prose last night, and won’t open a book; if you can’t work I shall break the whole affair up. This sort of thing is nothing but robbing your people.” “I can’t work, it’s so confoundedly hot,” obseivcs the languid-looking gentleman with the hookah. “I intend to put on a regular spurt next week,” says another. I never can work till the evening,” impatiently chimes in the Greek lexicon gentleman. “My eyes are so bad I can’t read two consecutive lines,” em phatically rejoins the youth who ha3 been deep in Bret Harte all the morning. This curious collection of youths comprises what is usually known as a reading party—the gentlemen sprawling about with novels and pipes are hard-working, conscientious young men, who, unwilling to waste a long vaca tion, in idleness, have impressed on their in nocent friends at home the necessity of being sent to some quiet place where they can de vote themselves to “really hard grinding.” The’gentleman of the disturbing element is their tutor, who, to do him justice, Is not altogether pleased with his hopeful pupils, and is rather in an awkward position. He has five or six young men in his care; it is his duty to see that they really work, and keep out of mischief generally; he is in no small degree responsible for their success in the several examinations for which they ate reading; but he was absolutely no authority over them. They are not boys who may bo commanded, they are not sensible men that can be reasoned with, but belonging to that mixed and middle state between boyhood and manhood, without the impressibility of the first or the solidity of the second, they are the most unmanageable of created beings. In addition to this there is usually the differ euce Between me icacuer auu me tauglit. Reading parties are no doubt very delightful things; they help a young man to lay up a large stock of pleasant reminiscences; they form and cement friendships. Leading to long walks and much exercise in the open air, they do much to strengthen the bodily powers and develop the muscles, but what they aim at doing most certainly they do not accomplish. No man ever yet got a First on the strength of what he learned on a reading party, unless both himself and his tutor were striking exceptions to an equally striking rule. The large proportion of men who are “plucked” and “gulphed” are the devotees of reading parties, which means, of course, that their education costs their parents and guardians just double what it might have cost them. To condemn reading parties, or to deny that there are not many advantages connected with them, would be absurd; but it is only fair that that the unitiated should know that the advantages are of a vastly different order to what they anticipate. Rob inson, for instance, has not a very long purse, but Robinson has a son; that son is sent, by hook or by crook, to college. The long va cation comes. What is the young hopeful to do Robinson wishes his boy to take honors, therefore the boy must read; he must have a tutor. A reading party is started. If Robinson wishes his son to pass a delightful vacation, to form friendships which may possibly be useful to him, to lay in a good stock of health, to be polished up socially, to learn a good deal about current poetry, to become fluent in superficial criti cism, to talk paradoxes—in fact, to be put in the way of being a delightful young man, whose only drawback shall be egotism, sel fishness and a sort of elegant misanthropy— let him join at once a long vacation reading party. But it Robinson’s son is to read, let him avoid the North Wales orchard or the Devonshire farm cottage.

Another CSood Day. The Cumberland Cent re Farmers’ Clnb was agaiu blessed with good weather for the second llav nf tllaiv oknin 'PI... _ A A .L _ m. _ I exhibition was well sustained, and tve Society must have derived a substantial revenue from this source. A considerable crowd assembled also at the race track, where a trial of speed was had between Mosely, owned by'. Mr. Love itt of this city, Lady Ella, owned by Mr. San born of Cumberland, and Nellie, owaed by Mr. Blanchard of Cumberland, for a purse of 825. Mosely won easily iu three straight heats; Lady Ella second. Time: 3.05, 3.0t|* 3,03^. Some interest was also excited by a foot race of boys around the half-mile track for a purse of §3, Frank Merrill winning in 2.21. Excellent music was furnished by the Yar mouth baud. This first exhibition of the Society has been remarkably successful, considering the adverse circumstances with which it had to contend, and evinces much labor and energy on the part of the gentlemen who had it in charge, prom inent amoug whom we noticed It O. Conaut of this city, and Solomon L. Blanchard, D. M. Prince and A. J. Osgood of Cumberland. Ad mirable order was preserved throughout the exhibition under the efficient guidance of the chief marshal, A. J. Osgood, and his assistant S. P. Powell. It is to he hoped lhat the managers of the two fairs in Cumberland, all of whom, on both sides, are good men and true, will arrive at some settlement of their differences before next year, as if is quite clear that their united efforts would result in a fair second to noue in the state of Maiue.

NVe cannot undertake to return or reserve com munications that are not used. Tlie Hunting Season. Now comes the sportsman’s festival. Now the hlood of the primitive man who had a hairy coat and dwelt in the woods, strug gling for existence with the other snarling carnivora, stirs under the velvet skin of the civilized man and entices him back to the old homestead in the forest. And perhaps it is some dim reminiscence of the antag onisms of the pre-historic life that makes it so pleasant for the man of 1874 to take his gun or rifle with him in his rambles and re new the contest with his old neighbors or their representatives or assigns. It must be some such reversionary trick of the blood that wreaks such bloody vengeance on the qheerful squirre', the timid rabbit and the harmless birds. If every innocent thing that is slaughtered^ mere wantonness during the present month were to bring on its destroyer tne woes tnat vexea tne muraerer ot tne albatross, as described in the Rhyme ot the Ancient Mariner, the ensuing November would be a season of general despondency. There are good reasons enough for the. ex ercise of the sportsman’s skill in the useful ness of many kinds of game for food or cloth ing and the mischievous destructiveness of other kinds. But the indiscriminate slaugh ter of the small game of our woods on such occasions as the barbarous “shooting matches”—a slaughter which has no better excuse than the momentary and inexplica ble pleasure of seeing an inferior animal suc cumb before the machine-aided prowess of imperial man—is a sorry exhibition of human frailty. The enjoyment of seeing anything capable of pain and pleasure doomed by our own needless acts to the last extremity of suf fering is, let us hope, one of the blemishes on man’s nature which will at length disappear la the course of his future development. Al ready the exhibitions of Lhis malevolence seem to be due rather to thoughtlessness and the blind observance of immemorial usage than to actual cruelty. It is said that the buffalo of the western prairies, which arc so indis pensable to the Indians for food, arc likely to be exterminated by “liunteis” whose indus try has no higher incentive than the pleasure of seeing the creatures die. Thousands of these animals are every year left to corrupt the air of the prairies, not even their hides being removed by their destroyers as a trib ute to decency and to commerce. Much of the game of our Maine woods has been des troyed with like wantonness, and unless some check is interposed the time will soon come when the hunter’s avocation must be aban doned or pursued elsewhere. In season or out, with or without necessity, the werk of extermination continues. There is no more disheartening sight than the return of the hunters from one of those competitive trials of skill in destruction which every year defile the purity and impair the serenity of autumn. Such a festering mass of bloody fur and feath ers as they produce from their bags, to be af terward consigned to the compost heap, would sicken of the brutal sport any soul that was not inured to it by custom. We are glad to see that the subject of the needless destruction of small game is not wholly neglected. The Maine Sporting Asso ciation, incorporated last winter, whose ori gin and nucleus -is in this city, devotes effi cient attention to the correction of some of these abuses, by the enforcement of the strin gent and humane law enacted by the last legislature. Some of the most substantial citizens of Fryeburg have recently formed a “Shooting an! Trapping Association” for the purpose of preventing the destruction of game out of season and"[otherwise protecting wild animals from the undiscriminating rage of the false sportsman. It is time some such steps were taken. Few people realize what a magnificent hunting ground Maine was in the old times. It was for the furs obtained of the Indians that the Puritans first explored the Kennebec, soon after settling on Cape Cod. Beaver were especially plenty, and it was while engaged in a controversy with a man who was infringing the ceded right of the Puritans to a monopoly of beaver skins on the Eeuncbec that Longfellow's pet John Alden, modest but plucky and resolute, spilled perhaps the first white man’s blood that the soil of Maine ever received from a white man’s blow. And in the northern parts of the state there aie still in existence more of the larger fur-bearing animals than is com monly supposed. Wolves are practically cx uiili, uut me siiuciuum ui u prominent iur trader, published a few years ago, shows that the moose, caribou, deer, some fifteen or twenty varieties of the fox, loup-ccrvier, wild cat, bear, raccooo, beaver, muskrat, otter, black cat, sable aud mink are still to be found in greater or less abundance. With a proper enforcement of the game laws, these need not far many years become extinct. The tournament has sadly degenerated siuce the days when the victor was privileged to crown the queen of love and beauty, and was rewarded by tbe king with some great prize, such as a baronial castle, or the pro ceeds of a special tax. Indeed, the only spot wlieie tournaments now flourish is in the South, and even there they have fallen from their high estate. As attest of this degener acy we have the report of a passage at arms in Washington, the other day, where the ob ject of competition was, not the privilege of crowning beauty, but the possession of “a fine uo-top buggy.” Oh, the tricks and the man ners ot this generation 1 It appears that the “knights” entered into the fight with great zest, notwithstanding the prosaic object of contention. The prize was won by the “kuight of Virginia,” but it gives us pleasure to state that the “knight of Cat Bird Hill-’ acquitted himself right knightly aud well. It Is melancholy to observe that the Washington papers chronicle the cliivalric entertainment under the caption, “Tilting for a Buggy.” Tub quarrel between Prince Bismarck and Count Von Arnim, which has culminated in the arrest of the latter, is of long standing, dating from the time wheji the Prince forsook the Yunkerthum, the old feudal party, to which Vou Arnim belongs. While Von Ar nim was ambassador at Paris, he wrote home strongly disapproving of Bismarck’s policy. The letters were published, and the recall of the ambassador followed. The government claims that ho neglected to give up certain official papers when he turned over his charge to his successor aud arrests him for retaiuiug them. It is suspected that these documents compromise Bismarck, aud that Von Arnim purposed ti make use of them in his cam paign for a seat iu the German Parliament. The only monarchy in South America, the empire of Brazil, appears lo have more en lightened aud progressive rulers than any ol the sc-called republics. During his reign Pe dro II has begun the emancipation of the slaves, has equalized and reduced taxation, liars made provision for compulsory education, and now proposes still further educational re form, great railway extensions, and wise measures for the benefit of the agricultural interest. __ Current Jiotes. J.UC Dili/iSU JUIUUHV1 “WO aud now Washington wauts a great national trotting course. The question “Can a Good Templar con scientiously make cider?” is answered by the Rev. O. M. Cousens in the affirmative. But the cider should he converted into vinegar, adds the reverend gentleman, and only sold for the purpose of supplying a healthy de mand. There’s a Democratic Congressional nomi nee in Wisconsin who promises, if elected, to come back at the end of l>is term with his pockets full of gold, to a constituency who shall also be receiving gold for their produce. We haven’t the slightest doubt that the first part of his prediction will be verified if he should chance to be elected. Here’s a resolution that had better be re considered. The Macon, Ala., Democrats met in convention the other day, and resolved that they would have white men to rule over them, “in spite of Grant, Sumner, Busteed or the devil.” The New Orleans men tried that little game, aud threw up their hands at the first gleam ot the Federal colors. The New York Bulletin says suspensions in that city within two or three weeks, aggre gate nearly $3,250,000; fully two-thirds of these liabilities are connected with houses in the foreign trade, some as exporters, others as importers, while the remainder belong to the dry goods jobbing houses. In each case the dullness of trade, aud in some cases the fall of prices has materially contributed to cause suspension of payments. The Bulletin, however, does not consider these failures any renewal of weak ness in the condition of trade credit at large. Portland Rochester Railroad. Annual Meeting.

The rolling stock in service upon the road consists of 6 locomotives, 7 passenger cars, 1 mail and smoking car, 3 baggage cars, 50 box cars, 2 saloon cars, 87 platform cars, 12 sec tion hand cars, 12 section rail cars, I snow plow, 1 dummy engine and car. Of the above, one locomotive—the Worces ter—and thirty platform bars are leased, with a contract for purchase, payment being made in monthly instalments, in amounts which will leave them the property of the company in about five years from the date of the lease.

No pas senger train has been off the track, nor has any employee of the company been seriously injured upon the road during the year. MISCELLANEOUS. The Marginal Way lias been completed suf ficent for the purposes of our road, and a track laid and furnished its entire length from our Portland station to the Grand Trunk Railway, a distance of one mile. The sec tion of track between Morrill’s Corner and Cumberland Mills, formerly one of the worst sections in the road, lias been raised twelve to eighteen inches with gravel, a portion of the old iron replaced -with new, and the bal ance put in good order, making the entire section one of the best in the road. The only other section of the road in bad condition— in Hollis—is undergoing like improvements, and will be completed this fall. Shaker bridge in Alfred, has been strengthened and repaired with one hundred oak piles of the largest size, and a corresponding amount of pine caps and stringers. Five miles of new fence have been built, ninety tons of new rails and 12,200 oak and cedar ties laid. The earnings of the road, not being suffi cient to pay the interest on the whole funded debt of the company, we were obliged to ask au extension of time in which to pay the interest upon the bonds of the city of Port land, issued in aid of the road, which inter est falls due on the first of January and July of each year. We notified the city of our in ability to meet our July interest. The communications in reference to this subject have already been printed in full in the daily papers of this city. The report then proceeds to say: After a very thorough examination of the condition of the road, and of the affairs and management of the company, the committee unanimously recommended the acceptance of tne proposition of the directors, and the City Council authorized the execution of the fol lowing contract to carry the same into effect. Articles of Agreem ent heticecn the City of Portland and the Portland and llochestcr Itailroad Company. These Articles Agreement in and between the City of Portland, party of the first part, and the Portland and Rochester Railroad, party of the second part, entered into this eleventh day of September, A. I), eighteen hundred and seventy-four. Witness: First, That the party of the second part agrees to provide equipment for the Portland and Rochester Railroad required by the con tract with the Nashua and Rochester Rail road: to pay the interest on the three hun dred and fifty thousand dollars loan, and the interest on all bonds issued by the city, to meet the interest on its two loans to the road, anti to pay when due said bonds for interest, which arc to be six years, six per cent, coupon bonds. Second, That the party of the second part agrees to keep up the present rolling stock by suitable repairs and replacement, and main tain it and the road bed of said railroad in at least as good order and condition as they now are, and to make all repairs and im provements which may be needed for any in crease of business. Third, That the party of the second part agree to pay over to the party of the first part, all the net earnings of the road which remain after the performance of the forego ing stipulations, to be applied to the payment of the interest on the city loans. Fourth, That the party of the second part agrees to submit to the board of Mayor and Aldermen from time to time, or to any per son or persons they may appoint, all books, records, papers and vouchers necessary to a full understanding of the company’s expendi tures, receipts and accounts, and conditions financially or otherwise. Fifth, That the party of the second part agrees to perform all the foregoing stipula tions to the satisfaction of the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Portland. Sixth, That the party of the first part agrees to allow the party of the second part to re main in possession oi tne roaci, ami 10 man age the same for three years from July 1st, 1874; provided, however, that if the party of the second part shall at any time fail to per form all or any of the above stipulations to the satsfaction of the Mayor and Aldermen, whose judgment thereon is hereby made final and conclusive on said Company, then this contract and espcoially this sixth article shall be wholly void. And in such case noth ing herein shall be construed as an extension of time on any mortgage to the city, nor pre vent said city from thereupon taking immedi ate possession of said road by itself or thorough the trustees of the four hundred and fifty thousand dollars mortgage. In witness whereof, the said city of Port land lias caused these presents to be subscrib ed by George P. Wescott, the Mayor of said city, and the seal of said city to be affixed, and the said Portland and llocliester ltail road Company have caused these presents to be signed by John Lynch, its president, and its corporate seal to be affixed, the day and year first above written. [L. S.l Gegkge P. Wescott, Mayor. [L. S.j Portland and Kochester Kailroad Co., By John Lynch, President. Witness to J. Lynch, Wm. H. Conant. This arrangement with the city relieves the company from its financial embarrassments, and, will, we believe, enable it to meet all fu ture obligations as they mature. The report closes with President Lynch’s letter already published. The vote for directors stood as follows: Whole number of votes thrown, 3,305. Necessary for a choice, 1,053. J. Lynch, F. Kobie, H. J. Libby, J. S. Kicker, K. E. Wood, W. G. Kay, E. G. Wallace, A K. Shurtleff, G. E. B. Jack son, G. P. Wescott, and Charles McCarthy had 3,305, and were elected. The agreement of the road with the City of Portland was accepted. Col. Kobie then called attention to the fact that according to the agreement with the city the road agrees to furnish its own equipment. This could be done, he thought, by buying it outside, or by means of a rolling stock com pany, composed of the directors of the road and others. He thought the latter plan would be the cheapest. The new rolling stock com pany had expended about $31,000, and he thought that they would need to raise about as much more. $20,000 of this sum has been sub scribed, and he recommended that the stock holders subscribe the remainder. One of tbe stockholders asked the president if the road had as yet secured an eastern or western connection. President Lynch referred the questioner to his letter published in the Press, Sept. 8tb. The same gentlemen asked why tbe directors had not named in their contract with the Nashua Worcester road a date when the con nection should take place. He thought that matters could run on for twenty years, and if the Nashua company then make this connec tion they would bo fulfilling their contract. The president replied by ex plaining how hard it was to get the Nashua company to make any contract at all, and stated that if they had in sisted upon a stated time there would have been no contract made. He explained that while they were trying to make a contract the Eastern and Boston Maine roads, two pow erful corporations, were trying to do the same thing, and that they had done the best they could. The line was nearly finished, and the connection would be made in December. Tbe meeting then adjourned. STATE NEWS ANDROSCOGGIN COUNTY.

Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Sciienck’s Seaweed Tonic, Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, Are the only medicines that will cure Pulmonary Consumption. Frequently medicines that stop a cough will occasion the death of the patient; they lock up the liver, stop the circulation of the blood, hemorrhage follows, and in fact, they ciog the action of the very organs that caused the cough. Liver com plaint and Dyspepsia are the causes ol two-thirds of the cases of consumption. Many persons complain of a dull pain iu the side, constipation,coated tongue, pain in the shoulder-blade, feelings ot drowsiness and restlessness, the food lying heavily on the stom ach, accompanied with acidity and belching up of wind. These symptims usually originate from a dis ordered condition of the stomach or a torpid liver. Persons so aftected, it they take one or two heavy colds, and if the cough in these cases be suddenly checked, will find the stomach and liver clogged, re maining torpid and inactive, and almost before they are aware the lungs are a mass of sores, and ulcer ated, the result of which is death. Schenck’s Pul monic Syrup is an expectorant which does not con tain opium or anything calculated to check a cough suddeuly. Schenck’s Seaweed Tonic dissolves the food, mixes with the gastric juices of the stomach, aids digestion and creates a ravenous appetite. When the bowels are costive, skin sallow, or the symptoms otherwise of a billious tendency, Schenk’s Mandrake Pills are required. These mediciues are prepared only by J. H. SCHENCK SON, N.

Last evening there was an immense crowd in the balls. Every day adds ’to tho attraction, and people who have been once want to go again. The refreshment room is now supplied with oysters cooked in every style, besides ice cream and pastry of all kinds. It is becoming very popular just now for merchants who tako their dinners down town to step into the senate chamber to dine. Groceries sold briskly all day yesterday, and iuc uci&o ncic urpii uucjr. xuusc nuu viai|j the hall in tbe afternoon and purchase two dollars’ worth of groceries can have a free ticket of admission for the evening. This plan •will be decidedly satisfactory. Seats have been arranged in the reception room so that ladies and children can be seated while examining tbe curiosities in this room. In the afternoon the room was filled, and the birds sang their prettiest. A Mr. Smith of this city has added a fine collection of Japanese curiosities to tbe mu seum, also a large lot of fine shells from the West Indies. They are quite an addition tip the attractions in Itossini Hall. The paintings in this room are many of them very fine, but, as there are no catalogues provided, visitors do not know the subject of many of them.

The invitation has been accepted, and President L F. Pingree, J. B. Coyle and G. L. Bailey clios en delegates. These gentl trneu go to Boston Tuesday. lllniuc Conference of (Juilnrian Churches The Conference assembled for religious seivi ces at about eight o’clock yesterday morning in the church of tho First Perish, aud at niur. J. T. G Nichols of Saco. The President then briefly and cordially wel corned the Conference to Portland, and urgec upon those present to be as warm and interested in tho work of the hour as possible, so that il might not be longer said that our meetings are cold and dull. Rev. Mr. Vinal was chosen Secretary pro tern. Rev. Dr. Wheeler then read the Secretary’s report. From this we learn that this confer ence has existed for teu years. At its forma tion there had been quite a falling off in church es. They wero few and weak. What were the causes? There was great liberality in the world. But there had been indifference and antagonism towards this denomination. Hence there was no growth. This conference was de signed to restore the dying and strengthen the weak societies. In every part of the State and even beyond the word of reconciliation has been spoken. If large numbers haye not found us a kindlier feeling has been awakened. More than fifty places have been visited as Mission aryStations. A society in Hou.ton after re maining inactive for a long series of years has become active and self-sustaining. So of the First Church in Castine, established in the be ginning of this century. The First Parish in Standisk has been kept alive, but is not now in very vigorous condition. The Orthodox Society is iu the same condi tion, and the two have united eo some interent. The Calais Society has united with another, and is now self-sustaining. Christ Church in Augusta has passed through a great trial. It was declining, and by vote of this conference an effort was made to revivify it. The society now has a minister, and asks for the promised aid. Waterville, Ellsworth and Farmington have each had now societies formed and well es tablished. Westbrook, Gorham, Bucksport and Le moines are not on a firm basis. Presque Isle and Brunswick are just com mencing undr favorable auspices. Particularly the former. They havo a settled minister, Rev. Mr. Gifford. The New Brunswick lagacy had been left to the Brunswick Unitarian Society. It was a L:_.1 _.i__ 1 1 i i i __ i society was therefore established to care for it. The movement prospered beyond expecta tion. Missionary work has been done as usual. In St. John, N. B.. the most. That place has been visited by Drs. Wheeler, Sheldon, Bev. Mr, Shippen, Dr. Budworth, and several others. A society will probably be formed there in a not remote time. There is need of more means. Tber.1 are several placet where societies cou.'d be formed if ^aid in starting were tendered. The report closes with an earnest appeal for a liberal contribution to this work, and some personal observations from the venerable doc tor, who feared that his health and strength would not permit him to do much more. Dr. Wheeler then read the report of the Treasurer, Mark P. Emery, Esq., of Portland. Dr. Wheeler explained that i t does not pre a full view of the financial operations in the State, because all the contributions are not reported to the Treasurer here. $510.50 have passed through the Treasurer's hands to the American Unitarian Association. Balance on hand $47.00. Last year 849,00. The reports of the Secretary aud Treasurer were then accepted Mr. Shippen then gave some account of Mis sionary work in St. John. He then told of a letter from Australia ask ing for hooks, magazines, aud even an Ameri can minister. The account was very graphic and interesting. The writer remarked that life in Australia is more in sympathy with that of America than that of Englagd. The request for books has been complied with through the expressage was fifteen dollars. Mr. Shippen also referred to the impoitance of the distribu tion of Unitarian magazines and other works. A great many Unitarian ministers are asking for them. The liberality of a Swing and of others are due to the reading of our works. On motion, a committee of three, consisting of Messrs. J. H. Hopkins, F. W. Sabine and M. P. Emery, were appointed to nominate offi cers and to report in the afternoon. Dr. Nichols called for Bev. Mr. Doughty of Illinois. Mr. Shippen oxplained that Mr. Doughty was born in Illinois and came from the same region as Abraham Lincoln. He hoped broth er Doughty wonld relate some of his personal experiences. Mr. Doughty began by saying that something which had puzzled him is the want of mission ary zeal among Unitarians. He sometimes has a feeling that these people are too good to be talked to about sin; that they are developed above it. But Christianity means, if anything, it means strength lifts up weakness; knowledge enlightens ignorance; loTe drives out hate. We must go down to the lowest and revard them ns a brother. Unitarianism is adapted tj the masses. Let us go out and meet them. The great need of the times is that we make an ag gressive movement in the name of Him whose name is above all. If we die our epitaph will be “Died of theology on the brain.” We want it in the heort. Mr. Vinal called upon some one from Presque Isle and Augusta to tell us about the condition of things there. Rev. Mr Beckwith of Au gusta, responded. Dr. Hill invited the friends to a collation in Lancaster Hall at 12$ and at G p. m. Rev. Dr. Sheldon then read an essay upon “The Holy Spirit.” In the idea of the Holy Spirit is that of a connection of God with the spirit of men. God is present with all His creation, but with man in a definite and higher way than with beasts. With all life below man God is spirit. With man He is holy spirit. The peace of the holy spirit in the training of the human soul was the precise subject of the essay. An interesting discussion followed the deliv ery of this essay, in which the op’nien was ex pressed that there is quite as much Peed of a spirit of holiness as of a spirit of truth. AFTERNOON SESSION The Rev. Mr. Gifford was set down for an essay, but being absent the Rev. Mr. Bowen was called upon in his stead. Pending the reading the Rev. Dr. Sheldon moved the appointment of a committea to re port what provision should be mado for Augus ta. He subsequently included Presque Isle Houlton and Wsterville. Messrs. M. P. Eme ry, Dr. Wheeler and Mr. Ntchols were made that committee. Mr. Bowen then proceeded with his essay upon “Our Needs.” Liberal Christianity is now more difficult to define than formerly. Nearly all denominations are as liberal and tolerant as we. We have been giving the in tellectual truths of Christianity. Ought we not now to turn attention to the spiritual element. We have been too much afraid of sentiment. With the clearest ideas of the intellect may there not be the purest and deepest of feeling. The intellect may work out a formal system of doctrine, but it caunot originate faith. Chris tian progress must come through love. To be come truly religious we must awaken affection and enwrap the whole being in an atmosphere of sentiment. The Christian religion is emi nently spiritual. Others have the some morals, but they have not theteachiugs of the influence of the Holy Spirit. The committee on nominations then present ed its report: President, Hon. S. E. Spring of Portland. Vice President, Rev. D. D. Sheldon, D. D.t of Waterville. Corresponding Secretary, Rev. Dr. A. D. w neeier ot xopsnam. Recording Secretary, Rev. C. C. Viual of Kennebunk. Treasurer, Hou. Mark P. Emery of Portland. Executive Committee. Kev. J. T, G. Nichols, D. D., of Saco, Hou. Joseph Dane of Kenne bunk, Hon. John D. Hopkins of Ellsworth. Committee on Missions, Rev. A. M. Knapp of Bangor, B. E. Hamilton, Esq., of Saco, Rev. C. W. Buck of Portland. Committee on Ways and Means, Rev. Thos. Hill, D. D., of Portland, Hon. Samuel Tltcomb of Augusta, I. P. Farrington, Esq., ot Port land. On motion of Rev. Mr. Buck, all ministers present, of whatever denomination, were invit ed to participate in the afternoon discussion. The motion was subsequently amended so as to include laymen. The Rev. Mr. Shippen was called upon to ad dress the convention. He did so in some elo quent, fresh and vigorous remarks in the vein of the two essays which had been read. The Rev. Mr. Longfellow was called for, and replied by endorsing many of the sentiments which had been uttered. Dr. Nichols then read the recommendation of the special committee to give the soicety oj Houlton $300, at Waterville $200, at Presque Isle $500, at Augusta $480, and $400 additional if the society raise $800 towards the pastor’s salary. Total about $1000. The report of the Committee was accepted. Mr. Nichols said that at Saratoga the dele gates pledged their respective societies for cer tain amounts. He pledged his society for $100, double the amount paid last year. Rev, Mr. Phelan asked whether the items of the report were debatable. He could only feel that the state of things at Augusta was doubt ful indeed. He did not see the use of sending $800 to Augusta. Along discussion, generally participated in followed. J. S. Cushing, Esq of Augusta, was in hope! that the debt of the society would be paid by the conference, as promised, and that nothin) more would be done. He thought there was ill feeling toward the jpeiety iu that place. Mr. Shippen moved the recommittal of the report. Mr. Emery declined to serve on the commit tee, but was not excused. Mr. Shippin’s original resolution given above was then substituted for the report of the com mittee. The President recalled the conference to the business aspect of the case. He thought not to promise more than we can pay. Dr. Sheldon stated that Waterville did uot ask for anything. Mr. Nichols said, we only recommend the appropriations. If the churches do not choose to give the money they need not, but they will be poorer for it. Eev. Mr. McLoud thought if any of the rich men would give but a mite of their abundance the whole amount would be raised. He very funnily referred to his host, a wealthy citizen of Portland. The resolution was then adopted. The Rev. Mr. Winkley of Castine, then pre sented an essay upon Practical Religion. Love to God and love to man comprise the law and the prophets. One half of religion, then, is duty to man and the other duty to God. The former in Morality, the latter in Religion. It has been said that the one has nothing to do with the other. Practical religion is the union of the two. Christ teaches a heaven within, but no less the kingdom of heaven without. Peace on earth, good will among men. To re ceive this is the province of practical religion. The church has been so busy in saving souls for the world to come that no time has been found for saving them for this world. The specula tions in regard to God’s purposes and Jhoughts which theologians indulge are valueless. The practical study of religion is to be found in mas, whom we have with us. Why do we not understand the laws of morality as well as those of natural scienne? We have not inves. tigated them. The conference then adjourned to this morn ing at 0 o’clock. Ia the evening the ltev. Bush B. Shippen preached a most able, eloquent and stirring dis course from the text, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away;’’ Matt, xxiv, 35.

Washington, Oct. 7. Several interesting points were raised in the Court of Commis sioners of the Alabama Claims to-day. R. M. Corwin of Washington submitted the question whether where several parties are con cerned in the same claim one or more may pre sent a petition, leaving each claimant to furnish his own proof within the limitation of tbe law.

The Story of the Austrian Polar Expedition, New Yoke, Oct. 7.—The Tribune publishes to-morrow a letter from Hamburg giving an account of the reception and banquet to the Austrian Arctic explorers at Hamburg. Capt Weyprecht in his speech told the story of the voyage. He said in the autumn of 1872 they were firmly enclosed and frozen. At one time they had 30 feet of ice under the keel, and were in a region of intense cold. They drifted slow, though not with regularity, and they were perfectly helpless. No power of steam or sails or men could do anything against the ice of the north, and they were quite at its mercy. The summer brought them no release. They made excursions with sledges and dis covered land hitherto unknown, which they christened Franz Joseph’s land in honor of their Emperor. When Lient. Payer returned to the ship from his last expedition it was necessary to consider he question of abandon ing the Tegethoff. The ship was firmly blocked in the ice, and was lurching so much it became necessary to shove her up with spars. There was no prospect of au escape and no prospect that by remaining longer they could accomplish much more. Besides the loss of the ship was quite prob able in the crushing and heaving of the ice, or if this should happen in the winter, the de struction of the entire party was inevitable. So it was decided to return to Europe. Ou the 20th of last May they left the ship with boats drawn on sledges. The way was terrible. They had to break down the hum mocks with axes and picks so as to make a road for the sledges, and then were frequently days where they did not make a nautical mile in twenty-four hours. Sometimes they could not stand, and were forced to crawl over the rough way. As they approached broken water they found there ice which would not support them standing, and where they were again forced to crawl several days. After leaving the ship a part of them re turned to get a smaller boat. They fancied everything was safe in the vessel and Captaiu Neyprecht thinks it not impossible she may yet be recovered. Through the broken water they made their way with many hardships and at length reached open water. Once on the sea they made the best of their way southward, rowing by day at the rate of about 40 miles per day. They wero picked up by a Russian fishing smack and treated with every kindness. The Russians brought them to Norway, thence they made their way hither. hbyborolouical. rROHASILIIIES FOB THE NEXT TWKNTV-FOOK HOURS War Oep’t, Office Chief Signal) Officer, Washington, D.

I-*——————^— THE PRESS. TIIE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. How lo lake Cai( of China and tUaw Ware. Iu an average household few Ithiugs suffer more from ill usage than porcelain and glass, especially the liner kinds of such ware. A few practical suggestions on the best methods of cleansing and preserving these fragile ma terials may be welcome. One of the most important things is to “season” glass aud china to sudden change of temperature, so that they will remain sound alter exposure to sudden heat and cold. This is best done by placing the articles in cold water, which must gradually be brought to the boiling point, aud then allowed to cool very slowly, taking several hours to do it. The commoner the materials, the more care in^this respect is required. The very best glass and china is always well seasoned, or "annealed,” i as the manufacturers say, before it is sold. If the wares are properly seasoned in this way, they may be washed in boiling water without fear of fracture, except in fros ty weather, when, even with the best an nealed wares, care must bo taken not place them suddenly iu hot water. All china that has any gilding upon it must on no account he rubbed with a cloth of any kiud, hut mere ly rinsed first in hot, aud afterward iu cold water, aud then left to drain till dry. If the gildiug is very dull aud requires polishing, it may now and then be rubbed wilh a soft wash-leather and a little dry whiting; but this operation must not he repeated more than once a year, otherwise the gold will most cer tainly he rubbed off and the china spoilt. When the plates, &c., are put away in the cbina closet, pieces of paper should be placed between them to prevent scratches on the glaze or painting, as the bottom of all ware has little particles ot sand adhering to it, pickedjup from the oven wherein it was glazed. The china closet should be in a dry situation, as a damp cioset will soon tarnish the gilding of the best crockery. In a common dinner service it is a great evil to made tlie plates too hot, as it invaria bly cracks the glaze on the service, if not the plate itself. We all know the result—it comes apart; “nobody broke it,” it was crack ed before,” or “cracked a long time ago.” The fact is that when the glaze is injured ev ery time the “things” are washed the water gets to the interior, swells the porous clay, aud makes the whole fabric rotten. In this condition they will also absorb grease; and when exposed to further heat the grease makes the dishes brown and discolored. If an oiu, 111-usea uisii ue maae very not inaeeu, a tea spoonful of fat will be seen to exude from the minute fissures upon the surface. These latter remarks apply more particularly to common wares. As a rule, warm water and a soft cloth are all that is required to keep glass in a good condition; but water bottles and wine decan ters, in order to keep them bright, must be rinsed ont with a little muriatic acid, which is the best substance for removing the “fur” which collects in them. This acid is far bet ter than ashes,sand or shot; for the ashes and sand scratch the glass, and if any shot is left by accident the lead is poisonous. Richly cut glass must be cleansed and polished with a soft brush, upon which a very little fine chalk or whiting is put; by this means the lustre and brilliancy are preserved.—Boston Journ al of Chemistry. At the recent marriage of an armless bride in England, the declamatory “giving and re ceiving of a ring” was managed by placing that emblem on the lady’s toe, which was by no means the first time that a woman has put her foot in it under similar apparently ’armless circumstances. Between Huxley and Tyndall and Herbert Spencer, and lots of other hard-headed old chaps, the modern psychologist has a particu larly rough road to travel, hut he doesn’t ut terly despair of the immortality of the soul, until he comes down to the Kinps County Board of Supervisors.—Brooklyn Argus.

Edgar Lothrop had a new and peculiar drug, from the interior of Africa, brought prominently under his notice by the very strange effect it produced on an animal who had accidentally swallowed a largo quantity. Owing to this circumstance he was led to make many experi ments on the lower animals, and he soon discovered that it had a very peculiar effect on the Nervous Sys tem. This induced him to experiment both on himself and some of his patients, and such was the wonder fully beneficial effects, and so rapid the cure of those afflicted with nervous diseases, that Dr. Lothrop came to the conclusion that he had discovered a new and valuable addition to the medicines of the phar macopoeia. He soon found that this medicine,in eon junction with some others, cured nervous diseases ot all kinds with a certainty and rapidity of which he had no previous conception* A tew words on that special disease generally known as Nervous Debility or Weakness. This is in most cases biought on by total ignorance of the fearful perni cious effects, but it is also brought on in many cases brought on through no fault of the person afflicted, hut by disease, long confinement, and several other causes—hut in all cases the effect on the constitution is the same. Heretofore, there has been no cure for this disease, but Dr. Lothrop, having put up this medicine in the form of CORDIAL BALM OF S/RI CUM AND TONIC PILLS, combined with other medicines, offers them to all sufferers as a safe and speedy cure. Our Lunatic Asylums are full c! pa tients, in many cases brought thither by the effects ot Nervous Debility. Many thousands suffer in si lence, hopeless of relief, having often been deceived by unprincipled quacks. Such is not the case with Dr. G. Edgar Lothrop’s CORDIAL BALM OF SYRI CUM and TONIC PILLS. A very short trial will demonstrate their efficacy. Any who suffer from the effects of over indulgence in tobacco, or alcoholic stimulants, Palpitation of the Heart, St. Vitus* Dance, Epilepsy, Nervous Head ache, Sleeplessness, Restlessness during Sleep, Loss of Memory, Irritability, Nervousness, Twitching of the Nerves, and all other Nervous Diseases, will ftnd this medicine a real blessing. Should any person into whose bands this notice comes, have a friend whom he knows or thinks is af flictedjwith any Nervous Disease, Nervous Debility, etc., he will confer a real kindness on his friend by sending it to him, so as to give him an opportunity of being cured by the use of Dr. Lothrop’s CORDIAL BALM OF SYRICUM and TONIC PILLS.

In slioit it is the SIMPLEST, SAFEST, most DURABLE and most ECONOMICAL Engine in the world. We fully guarantee them in all the abeve particulars. COLT’S ARMS CO. have spared no expense in getting up SPECIAL TOOLS AND MA CHINES with which to build these Engines, so that every part is made up to gauge, and are perfectly in terchangeable, the importance of which will be un derstood by all who are at all fomihar with machin ery. Thus, every Engine of a given size is an exact duplicate of every other one of that size, and in case of breakage, the broken part can be immediately re placed by its perfect duplicate. The inventor of this Engine had in view, in its construction, the great need that exists tor a perfect Steam Engine—of small j>ower—adapted to all kinds of light mechanical work, and that should also com bine all that is good in Steam Engineering. The first point was, to secure a perfectly philo sophical Boiler and Furnace, in order to insure the most perfect combustion^ and to take up the greatest possible amount of heat m generating steam. The second point was, to make a perfect cut-off Engine, working steam expansively, and keeping up the temperature of the cylinder to prevent loss by radiation or condensation. The third point was. to combine and make the whole a mechanically and scientifically correct ma chine; all its parts being provided with means to take up lost motion, so that it may be used for any number of years, and always run smoothly. In all these particulars as much care has been taken as in the largest and most perfect engine ever constructed. The result is—thb greatest amount op power PROPORTIONED TO THE AMOUNT OP FUEL CON SUMED—thus proving the fact—well known to men ot science—that water is the best medium to transh mit the mechanical forces, Generated in the com bustion of fuel, to the production of motive power.
