The streets and roads are getting, dusty
again and rain is much needed.
We learn from the News that a Cattle Show
and Fair will be held at Bridgton on Thurs
day, Oct. 3 3th.
Messrs. E. C. Allen & Co., have just given
an order foradvertising “The People’s Litera
ry Companion” in over two thousand Weekly
and Daily papers. We understand that the
best papers from Maine to California liavc
been selected.
Four tubular wells have been Runk upon the
Fair grounds to obtain water for use during
the Fair. Two of them have been tubed anil
piped and water brought in abundance of a
pure, soft quality. The deepest of these wells
is 70 feet, and the shallowest 38 feet. If '
necessary more will he sunk so as to supply
a plenty of pure water for all uses.
Koine performed her part nobly on Monday ,
last, redeeming herself from a democratic
majority and giving for the republican can- !
didate for representative to the legislature a
clean majority of 23. This town has been
generally democratic for |eight years, but the
people tl ere have become sick of demoeratie
majorities and mean to reverse them.
Vcsterday morning nt half past ten o’clock,
two little boys, sons of Mr. Amos Potter of
flardiner, were in bathing in Mill stream in ;
that place, and getting beyond their depth,
aank and remained under water al*>ut five
minutes- Their situation was discovered and
they were rescued, and in a short timff were
resuscitated under care of several of the
physicians.
We have received the first number of the j
Bridgton Weekly News, a twenty-four col- j
unn paper established at Bridgton by Maj. I
II. A. Shorcy, formerly of the Bath Times
and recently of the Blaine Temperance Advo
cate. The copy before us suggests that the
good town of Bridgton is to he congratulated.
A local paper, such as the News promises to
be, should be liberally supported by its citi
zeus, and those of the surrounding towns. We
wish Bro. Shores- the most satisfactory suc
cess.
A little past five o’clock yesterday after
noon, as Miss Emma Woodbury o( this city,
was crossing Water stre et, from the east side,
just above the post office, she was run into
and knocked down by a runaw ay horse and
buggy belonging to City Marshal Farrington. |
Miss Woodbury did not notice the approach
ing team that was coming rapidly up street, j
The first knowledge she h/td of any danger
w as when she was suddenly struck. She was
struck by one of the thills, knocked down,
and falling between the thill and one of the
wheel*, was dragged several rods. The horse
fell and the buggy was smashed. Miss W.
was taken into a store near by in an insensi
ble condition, her face covered with blood,
and it was (bought at the time that she might
be family injured. On being taken to her :
home on Winthrop street, and Drs. W. S. Hill |
and Brickett called, it was found thatwitli the
exception of some bad flesh wounds and
bruises on the face and back, her injuries
were not serious, and that she will speedily ;
recover. Miss Woodbury is the acceptable
teacher in the Grove street primary school.

The dedication at the Univer-alist church in
Hallowcll, which has been very much im
proved the past summer, took place yesterday
afternoon, in the presence of a large congre
gation. The order of exercises consisted of in
troductory anthem by thefhoir: invocation by
Hev. Mr. Moor of Augusta; reading of select
portions of scripture by Hev. J. O. Skinner of
Waterville, and singing. The sermon was j
preached by Hev. Mr. Moor of this city. His ■
text was the first and second verses of the 84th
Psalm, “ How amiable are thy tabernacles, O
Lord of hosts. My soul longclh, yea even
fainteth for the courts of the living God."—
The leading kleas were, God has endowed man
with a religious nature, the result of which is
seen in the various forms of worship, in the
erection and consecration of churches, and
even in the religious rites of the heathen. In
these facts we find the hope of humanity.
Rod is opposed to all wrong, and will continue
to work upon the minds and hearts of all
men until every form of wrong and wicked
ness comes to an end. The; speaker closed by
urging upon his hearers the idea which the
new house of worship should symbolize—a re
newed and earnest longing for the living God.
The dedicatory prayer was offered by Rev. J.
M. l’aine of Gardiner, who we believe is to
preach to the parish every Sabbath in the fore
noon. A response by the choir followed the
prayer, after which the declaration of dedica
tion was made by Rev. Mr. Paine, the dedi
catory anthem was sung, and Rev. J. O. Skin
ner addressed the society somewhat in the line
of the sentiment of the discourse. A dosing
anthem was sung and the benediction wns pro
nounced.
BowBolaham Baptist Association Third Day.
A profitable prayer meeting was holden in
the early morning yesterday. At 8 o’clock
commenced the regular daily session of the
association. The committee on obitu
aries reported the death of two members the
past year. Rev. Wm. Wyman of Livermore,
and Rev. Daniel Pierce of Greene. Reports
on state of religion and Sunday Schools were
presented, discussed and accepted. A series
of resolutions on Y. M. C. A. was presented
by the committee on that subject, heartily
endorsed by several speakers and passed.
The resolutions acknowledge, with devout
gratitude to the great head of the church, the
signal manifestations of llis saving grace
through the labors of the Y. M. C. A.; that
they have operated in localities that havo
been neglected by the Christian church ; hail
with delight the spirit of Christian union
characterizing their labors; and regarding it
as a valuable auxilary to the church. It was
decided to authorize a committee to tak1
measures to secure a colporter to work with
in the limits of the association. A vote cK
thanks to the members of the church in Au
gusta and other Christian friends for enter
tainment and courtesies, to the choir, and to
the railroad company, was passed. Tliet
followed a prayer meeting of deep interer
for half an hour, after which Rev. Mr Bart
lett of Livermore Kails preached a sermon
from llaggai 2:9, “And in this place I wilt
give peace, saith the Lord ot host.”
Th* closiug prayer was oflered by the
Moderator, I?cv. Mr. Crane, a hymn was
sung, and the association adjourned finally.
The next annual meeting will be held in
Bowdoinham.
i The resolutions passed Wednesday evening
take strong grounds in favor of foreign and
home missions; recommend the Baptist Pub
lication Society, and liberal contributions for
benevolent objects; that ministerial educa
tion is intimately connected with the welfare
of our churches; maintaining an unequivocal
position in the temperance reform; recom
mending the dissemination of a pure religious
literature; that the church engage heartily in
all the various ways of doing good, and es
pecially to pray and labor for the outpouring
of the Spirit.
The attendance on the association meet
ings lias been large, the sessions very in
teresting. and it is thought that the influence
upon the church arid community will be salu
tary.
flrrmen's Reception.
Bath, Sept. 13, 1870.
Bunker Hill Hose Company, No. 2, now on
a visit to our State, were received by steamer
City of Bath, No. 1. with full ranks, and all
the honorary members, accompanied by the
Bath band, which discoursed most beautiful
music; while the Hunker Hill hoys were ac
companied by the old Boston Cornet band.—
The 7J train came in on time, and was re-1
ceived by three or four thousand people, de-|
termined to give the Bunker Hill hoys a
hearty welcome, after which they fell in to
line anil were escorted to the Sagadahoc House, ;
where good supper was awaiting them. They j
were welcomed by the Foreman of steamer
City of Bath in beliulf of bis command and
the citizens in general, which was responded
to by the Foreman of Bunker Hill Hose Co.
After supper they adjourned to the Engine
bouse for a social lime, when story telling
and music by the Boston Cornet Band was
the order of the day. The licit sound we beard
before going to sleep was the Cornet Band
serenading some of the city officials. To-day
they visit Cotton s al Harding's Station, where
they were at last accounts, having a good time.
They wind up to-day’s sports with a grand
ball at Music Hall. To-morrow, Thursday,
all the Fire Department turns out and goes
to Lewiston, where they will be received by I
all the Fire Department of Lewiston, and a
grand ball in the evening at Auburn Hall.— 1
That they may enjoy themselves hugely is the
wish of an old ex-fireman. Engineer Mc
lionn of Charlestown is with the Bunker Hill
boys. F.

light breeze. The two crews started at 16
minutes past five. The Tyne crew were
naked to the waist, and the St. Johns in fancy
shirts. Ilotli dipped their oars simultaneous
ly. but after a few sweeping strokes the Tyne
took the lead. At one hundred yards the
Tyne seemed to increase their lead, rowing
well within themselves a magnificent stroke.
At quarter of nine the St. Johns men drew
upon them a little, but the Tyne crew put on
tremendous spurt, the boat jumping out of
the water at every stroke, and at a half mile
was one length ahead.
On turning the buoy the Tyne crew led
them three lengths, and on the home stretch,
rowing at an unparalleled pace and perfect
precision, and won the race by six clear
lengths. Time 41 minutes and ten seconds.
The winners were received with the wildest
enthusiasm. The people seemed to have
’gone mad with excitement. The Tyne crew
rowed in the "Dustan on the Tyne.” a nice
boat. 40 feet, 6 inches long, 17 1-2 inches
wide, and weighing 90 pounds. The St.
Johns crew rowed in the shell “James A.
