Last Sunday marked the beginning
of a new epoch in ohuroh affairs In this
city. Tbe new church building of the
Congregational denomination was ded
icated to tho liuler of the Universe
with appropriate ceremonies. This
sacred event was looked forward to
with great interest by those interested
for many weeks, and the best wishes
snd co-operation of the entire com
munity goes along with those who
labored hardest for the completion of
tbir house of worship. 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.
Work on the new weod flume being

the business of this community ia a
icoucedfid fact by all observing people.
Mtiould the company carry into execu
tion their former plans to relation to
this matter they will have cut about
30,000 curds of wood yearly, and coup
ling tbe price of cutting with other
expenses incident to carrying on such
a business, tbe company will pay out
over $30,000 aonually in this com
munity. 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. At all events each dollar
that is expended by them in our midst
ill be iust one dollar extra added to
the circulating medium of this section.
