The members of the Capital Guards speak in the very highest terms of praise of the services of the Gynn Brass Band that ac companied them to Bangor. In the street parades, the marches, and the serenades their music was admired and fully up to the best bands present. Not only as musicians do the members of this band take front rank, but a well behaved and courteous gentlemen. We are happy to learn that arrangement are nearly perfected for a course of six lec tures to be given in this city during the months of December, January and February, by sonn of the first-class lecturers of the day. Course tickets will be fl .50.

We may say to our young men generally, that it is best to follow the old man unless the old man goes wrong. Miss Anne E.

The cost ot travelling in Europe is a sub ject that was discussed quite recently by a fireside circle in this city, and it was thought that au economical person could spend three months at an expense of about $oO). Tin opinion of one who has been there is better than mere conjecture, and so we give the statement of Mr. Elweil of the Portland Tran script. who lias just returned from a Kuro psan trip: “As to the cost of travelling in Europe, u question of great interest to many, it mav be Staled at about five .dollars gold per day, it one is economical. It may, of course, cost much more than that sum. It is perhaps pos sible far a gentleman travelling alone, with little baggage, to do it for less, hut lie must make up his mind to suffer inconveniences and practice much self denial, things which greatly lessen the pleasure of travel. In fact, to thoroughly enjoy it, one needs plenty of money. There is a routine ot travel into which it is easy to get, and out of which it is difficult to throw one's self, liut one can see a good deal and enjoy much for five or six hundred dolliffs, in addition to his passage money, if he lias the self-denial to refrain from all unnecessary expenditures." Yesterday afternoon our citizens had an opportunity to witness a display supplemental to the grand military pageant in the streets of Bangor on the day previous. Five of the military companies participating in that cele bration, reached this city in a special train at quarter to three o’clock in the afternoon, and made an imposing atreet parade. The com panies were as follows: Capital Guards, of Augusta; Portland Light Infantry, of Port land; Mechanic Blues, of Portland; Auburn Light Infantry, of Auburn; Norway Light Infantry, of Norway. They were accom panied with four bands of music—the Lynn, Portland, Lewiston and Norway Bands and two drum corps. On the arrival of the train, the line formed on Commercial street, the Capital Guards on the right. Marching down Bridge and Water streets a halt was made op posite the post office, where the Capital Guards saluted the line as it passed by, and marched to the head of the halted column, leading the troopers as an escort through several of the principal streets of the city. Some preparations had been made for their coming, and Hags were stretched across Water street, and depended from stores and private dwelling* on Water and State street*. Large crowds lined the sidewalks and filled the front yard* as tiie soldiers passed by. It was a display the Like of which ha* not been seen in our midst since war times. T ie companies are mostly composed of large, muscular, noble looking men, many of whom have seen service in the late war. They did lot appear fatigued in the least by their long tourney or active part they had taken in the ‘plendid ovations in the “Queen city of the Mast.” After a brief parade the companies eturned to Market square and marched into Granite Hall where a collation had been •pread, and which was partaken of and huge y relished by the men in arms. At 44 o'clock he whistle of the locomotive sounded, and lie companies with the exception of the Cap tul Guards were off to Portland, to take part in llie reception in that city of the President >fthe United States, improvements In the Vlelnltj of Western Avenue. The extension of Orchard street, from Green street to Western avenue, is now pro rressing. The street has been opened and is ■cing graded.

Another new street, to be called “Lincoln’ treet, has been staked out by the individual land owners, to run from Sewall, northwest, through the lots of L. L. Lincoln, J. L -Stevens, J. A. Iticknell and others. Thia is lesigned to be a sixty-foot street anil should ie accepted at once by the city. Its cours< 'rum Sewall street is marked by the fenci lorlh of Mr. Lincoln's residence. On if opening many excellent houselots on eithei >ide of the new street will become availablt it once, and are needed at the present timt ior building purposes. Across this street three parallel streets have been laid out, whicl the city will undoubtedly accept and open at public highways. These streets are called respectively “Johnson,” “Cushman,” and “Drew” street. Several lots have already been sold on these proposed street*, and two bouses are in process of erection by Messrs vVellman and Kollins. South of Western avenue, and on the lots of Warren Johnson and G. G. Stacy, two new lwelling houses are being erected. Mr. Stacy lias a large and thrifty settlement, with •treets laid ont and lots staked off for futun ouildlng enterprises. The continued rapid growth of this part ot the city is an assured fact. When Mr. Steven ■uilt his house on the hillside there were pro pie who smiled at the project, and wonderei what in the world should induce him to build i house “out in the woods." It is now in tin midst of other elegant residences with the neat prospect of plenty of company. South 01 Mr. Stevens' Is the large lot of Mr. Geo. S.

What is to become of the watei that in the spring time and during big storms ■ushes down the hill to the large level tract below, flooding the cellars and dooryards, and in some eases removing the line fences and ruining the gardens? Those living on the hillside ask no favors in this respect, but the dwellers below should he afforded some sort of protection. A covered drain of good ca pacity should run front the foot of the hill, on the newly laid out portion of Orchard -treet, to the natural outlet in the gulley be low. This would prevent these annual or semi-annual floods from damaging valuabh property and add immensely to the value ot real estate in the vicinity. Zell’s encyclopedia.

The exercises of the opening of the European and North American Kail way on the part of the Company, took place to-day at Vanceboro’, at half-past eight. Two trains of cars containing the President and suite, Governor-General of Canada and suite, Lieutenant-Governor Wilmotof New Brunswick, Governor Perliam of Maine, and suite, and other invited guests to the number of eight hundred, started from this city and made the run ty Vanceborough in little less than five hours. All along the route the stations were thronged to get a sight of the President, who gratified them by appearing un the platform when he was received with hearty cheers, and waving of handkerchiefs hy the ladies. The sensation of a train of Pullman cars with the President of the United States on board, in the back woods of Maine, was a novel one to hundreds who saw a rail road car ether than u eonstructian train for the first time in their lives one week ago. The President never seemed happier in re sponding to the people than he did to-day in meeting and greeting the settlers of our little towns in the wilderness, and many a young lady will remember with pleasure, and tell her grand-children with pride, of the kiss received from the 'Piesident of the United States, in some of these new settlements, where one year ago all was a dense forest Passing the town of Winn the party saw with surprise, the immense tannery buildings ol Messrs. Henry Poor Son, but the surprise was increased, when on arriving at Kingman, and seeing the still greater tannery of Shaw Kingman, and a village neatly and tastilv laid out, and were told that but little more than one year ago all was an unbroken wil derness. on arriving at Vanceborough, the place was found to be gaily decorated in flags oftha Union of England and of this Dominion, with a representation of the eagle and lion on one shield, and the stars and stripes and St. Georges Cross blended on another. An immense pavillion had been put up and tables laid to its entire capacity, with an ele gant and even sumptuous repast and deco rated in a superb 'manner with flags of the defferent governments represented, and with boquets, festoons, and garla,.ds of flowers and evergreens, the question of expense not having apparently been taken into considera tion. As the President debarked from the train a salute was fired, and the Jameson Guards who had gone up from this city on an earlier train performed escort dufj-. The train from St. John arrived at the same time with the Bangor train, and two peoples were arranged upon opposite sides of the same tables, where a general fraternization took place, and con graulations and compliments were inter changed. President Jewett of the E. N. A. Uailruad, presided, having President Gram on his right, and Lord Lisgar on his left, with the other distinguished gentlemen on each hand. President Jewett called the as semblage to order, and called upon Prof Barbour of this city to invoke the divim blessing, after which the company partook of the viands before t cm with a keener relish for the long ride which they had taken. After the inner man had been satisfied. President Jewett welcomed the President. Governor-General, the suites and the assem bled guests, and presented President Grant amid tumultuous cheers, of which it would be difficult to sav whether those from Americans or Provincials were the most hearty. President Grunt said it was pleasant to hi here on this occasion, which is celebrated by the citizens of this continent ot two nation alities. in which both were equally interest ed, and sat down amid the cheers’ of the as semblage. Gov. Wilmot then called for three rousing cheers for the President, saying that he war sorry he could not gratily their desire to visit them at this time, hut shU he would ex cuse him if lie would come after his next election. The cheers were given three times three. Lord Lisgar, Governor-General of Canada, was then introduced, and was received wit! loud cheers. He said he was extremeh gratified to be received as the representative of his Soverign in such an assemblage, hon ored as it was by the presence of the Presi dent, which gave it an international char aeter. lie trusted that tho enterprise over the completion ot which we to-day rejoice, would engage the inhabitants of both coun tries in amicable interest. He came to-day expressly to pay a tribute of respect to yuu’i noble President, not more to the office than to the man; complimented Iris military ca reer, and his action in regard to the treaty. He said the Council of the Dominion would submit the treaty Ht the next meetingof Parlia ment; did not doubt the legislature were in dined to view the subject from an imperial and international point of view, and had good hopes that nothing to mar the good feeling between the two countries would ever arise. Stafford North Cole averred to an audience at Exeter the other day that kindly disposi tion toward England existed through this eonntry to day aince the last shot betweei tlie countries. Two generations had passed; 1871 was not 1771, and the council ovei which Gladstone presides are popular eoun oils, established by the will of tile people. He hoped the precedents established by the treaty would stand. Nothing was done by coercion; the United States was not torn b. civil service; England was nut threatened by the fleets of France and Spain, all was peace. These questions were met not in h hurtle guise but to reconcile them to peaceful measures and calm councils. The event will be recognized in history by the thinking men in all ages as a greater movement than any created on battle-fields, &c. Lieutenant-Governor Wilmot was then called up. He referred to the exercise* at Bangor yesterday. They were fit to warm a man’s heart it he had any heart to warm. It warmed the hearts of all the New Brunswick era to see the magnificent manner in which the people had entered upon the ei lcbmtiun ot this event. Here we all are to-day, and to borrow a phrase from your President which lie has always loved since lie heard "Let us have Peace.” It would be a saucy thing for him to challenge a country like the United States but he did it yesterday. He chal lenged them to a contest as to who should live best, and do most for the promotion ot the arts, sciences, literature und religion. He thanked God that they were to have fri e schools; that is what the United States have got and that is why she has got so niuih tin start of them. How has their country d v n c d since he first entered pol to il 1 f Did’nt England consult New Brins, wok when the treaty affected her interests. Thank God England to-day says the treaty can only be confirmed when accedi d to the dominion honor to her noble commissioner who so well represented their interests. There is a broad future before us and we must emulate the example which the United States have set us in all that advances tin interests and wcllfare our people. He closed by calling for three cheers for Maine. Gov. 1‘erham was then called upon und responded. Brief remarks were made by a number of other distinguished gentlemen, thus closing this glorious and happy meeting, the Presi dent and patty returning to this city, while large numbers took a train to continue their trip to St. John. After taking tea at the Bangor House, the President and suite left for Portland at 11 :10. Murder. Cincinnati, 19. William Brooks was tnurderud in the suburbs ol1 Ironton, Ohio, Tuesday night.

Emerson of Newton, and a general discussion followed. Also on tlie subject ol securing the best teachers and a better attendance of pupils, on proper use of text books and other matters ol interest. Mr. Philbrick offered the following, which was adopted: Resolved, That we consider the practice of marking more on daily recitations of pu pils as objectionable, and recommend its dis continuance. We, however, approve of and recommend marking merits of written exami nations. A committee was appointed to prepare a course of study for primary, intermediate and grammar schools, to report at the next meeting. A circular and blank statement intended to exhibit their financial condition and total losses by the Chicago fire, has been addressed to officers of insurance companies in this city and State, by Julius L.

Mr. Hunter’s face, neck and hand were badly burned. Mr. Martine’s face wa a hideous spectacle. One cheek was literal 1; raw, and great blotches pitted his left arm shoulder and back. One eye is hopclessl ruined, and the other inflamed to an ominor degree. All were scarred, especially on th face, neck, hands and feet. As they all say no tongue can tell their agong of mind, pain ungnish and terror, nor can language o pencil portray the dreadful scenes tliroug which they have passed. Mr. Hunter's *tory is at once graphic am thrilling He resided at Pestigo witli hi wife and little child, seven years of ag. Their house was about three miles from th town, just at the age of a strip of foresi Their had been fires in the woods aud prai ries for a week previously, and night afti night they had sat at the windows, gazin upon the gorgeous panorama of flame, sinok und sparkling cinders, as it moved along th horizon. Very little, if any fear was entei taim d, a« the course of the fire seemed awa from the town. On Saturday night they attended churcl in the village. They and Martine, the herd man, retired to rest early, wholly unsuspeci ing the fearful peril that was soon to over whelm them. At about midnight they wcr. aroused by the roar and crackling of tl? flames. At first they were almost pcrtrifli with amazement and fear. The hlazinj woods seennd marching upon them. A hri*l breeze was stirring, but tie ?trong current* of hot air raged to and fro with a horriu howling sound. Quickly dressing, the rushed to the yard. The sky was thick win smoke, and showers of sparks were liurlei hither and thither, assailing iheir faces, eye and clothing. From the barn came a piteou chorus or neighs, bellowings and scream? from the terrified cattle, horses and oth« animals. After great difficulty they were re leased, and compelled to ge out. The cattl at once stampeded from the fire, but th? horses trembled and seemed paralyzed, tliei nostrils expanding, their eyes dilating am glaring, and their mouths frothing Will gr at difficulty and haste they were harnessed and attached to a long lumber box wagon into which a tew articles were thrown, an? the party mounted and drove off. An eight of a mile had been traversed at a rapid rati when a sudden gust ol wind drove a mas* i red hot cind rs upon them, filling the air will stifling smoke. Where the sparks fell thn burned into the fli?*b. The littli irl scream ed with fear ,-Oh, mama, I am burning up," she cried, and the others groaned, shook ufl the fire anil coeered themselves with blankets. The air fur a moment was black and breath ing was almost impossible. The horses stag gered, backed, anil reared wiih furious screams, ami then with a plunge, which un seat d those in the wagon, madly rushed down the road at almost lightning speed. All control of them was lost, and the party clung to the sides of the vehicle to keep in. On tiny flew, the wheels striking tire against the stones, and the wagon swaying to and fro! from one siJe to the road to the other. Then, for a time, the wind changed and the clouds of cinders were carried in another direction. They could see that all the northern part of the village was en fire, anil the flames seemed moving with the velocity of clouds. All the buildings were of wood, much of it being •f pitch pine, and as there had been no rain tor n long time, and the sun had baked ev erything dry, the fire ran along them as though they had b en a rain gunpowder. Mrs, Hunter said: We ssooti m the water up to our necks, our little girl Minnie beiug held up Letween us. When first we went in »*'e feeling was tha- of grateful re.reslmient. The top of the water teemed warm, bat (li bottom part waa eold. After we hod boon there half an hour, the wind carried groat •tripa, and even ph cea of board, was of them earning. There would be whirled in the air, high up over our beads, and hover l*e m8** ^awk, aad thee swoop down upon ua. We would duck our heads under the water, but would get so exhausted that wa could not, and then we could not, and then we had to be burned. Poor little Minnie, ao weak that she could hardly cry. would say: Dear papa, I am burned again; dear mama, my feet are ao cold, and I am to tired. Three hours and more thus passed. Every moment we expected to die. Finally the air became ao that we could not not see. Onr eyes seemed parboiled. The agony waa aw *fur feet like ice, and our facet and heads in an atmosphere of dame. At last there was a rush of the waters, the dam had given way, and the dood came down npon us, sweeping us off our feet into a mass of timber and broken plank, some on Are: horses, cat tle, dogs and human beings, all struggling and shrieking. In the rush and whirl the almost helpless Mr. and Mrs. Hunter were separated. Mrs. Hunter went down aad came near being drowned. Minnie was lost and drowned. By a swerving of the current they were washed on shore, and at daylight found each other. There were many mourn* ing and crying over the scene of desolation. On all sides, as far as the eye could roach, there were smouldering Area. The village was a long waste of ashes; not a vestige re* mained. DR. E. R. CLARKE’S VEGETABLE Sherry Wine Bitters.
