Tbe new church building of the Congregational denomination was ded icated to tho liuler of the Universe with appropriate ceremonies.

The services took place at 11 o'clock in the fore noon, opening with anthems of praise and earnest supplucations, Rev. Mr. Clapp, of Portland, preaching the dedication sermon. It was announced by the secretsry of the society that an indedhtadnsts of about $85 hung ever the building, snd before tbe ceremon ies could be closed this amount had to be raised, which was the work of but a few moments, tbe appeals from the pastor being hastily and liberally responded to until f 113 were sub scribed and contributed, after which dudicatory invocation was offered. The building is a neat and substantial one, doing credit to the place and those who labored hard for its completion. Its architecture is of the latest design, and its cspscity is sufficient to meet the requirements of the town ; its loca tion is handy, and its presence adds dignity and stability to our city.

We have bad no interview with any member of the compaoy, but calculating from a conservative view of tbe matter, the conducting of the business will necessitate tbe ex penditure of at least that amount annually.
