Kennebec.

One hundred and seventy persons were confirmed in
Augusta, at the Catholic church on Sunday forenoon, by
Bishop James A. Healey, of Portland.  In the afternoon
the Bishop confirmed sixty in Hallowell.

A large gathering of the friends of Eli Jones, who has
just returned from his missionary labors in Syria,
assembled at his home in China, on Saturday evening
last, to extend to him a happy greeting and welcome.
He gave a very interesting account of his travels in
the Holy Land, and the wonderful success of the
Friends' mission at Mount Lebanon, in Syria.

The Journal, says E. C. Allen, Esq. is the largest
individual taxpayer in Augus-ta.  This year he pays a
tax of $1,664.40, being assessed on $41,000 of real
estate, and $44,200 of personal property.  Mr. Allen
is quite an extensive owner of shipping.

The Journal says that Willie T. Atherton, son of Wm.
P. Atherton, of Hallowell, died suddenly at his home,
Tuesday afternoon.

The dedication of the Erskine High School will occur
Wednesday afternoon, June 27, at Chadwick's corner,
South China.

The Journal says that Monday, a man by the name of
Merrill, from Manchester, came before Judge Andrews,
and made a complaint that he (Merrill) had caught two
bass at the Outlet.  The Judge fined him $7, which he
paid and departed.  A short time afterwards, Fish
Warden I. A. Carr of East Winthrop, arrived at the
Municipal Court room, to make a complaint against
Merrill for taking bass illegally, and was somewhat
surprised to find that the fisherman had stolen a
march on him. It seems that the warden had caught Mer-
rill in the act of catching bass on Sunday.
