          Haskins, aged 13 years, 4 months, 6. days.
               The subject of this notice was grand-daughter of Thomas Chase, Esq.,
          formerly of Farmington, Me., and was also great grand-daughter of Widow
          Sarah Barton, who died in Norway, Me., February 1869.  Fanni was was a
          favorite in her large circle of acquaintances in Grammar school, Sabbath school
          and in her neighborhood. She gave promise of usefulness in the literary world-
          having several months contributed "local items," to a neighboring  county paper
          which were duly appreciated and often copied into exchanges.  By the kindness
          of friends she always had the Portland Transcript at hand. She considered it
          necessary to her enjoyment, of saying "I could part with any other paper better."
          During the past winter she boarded with her oldest brother in Littleton, N. H., and
          attended an excellent school, bringing home a good report and many pleasant
          memories. This brother and family could be with her in her last days of illness.
          It was a sad sight to see her embrace her little niece and nephew and sister,
          calling them little dears, when we knew she could never more  enjoy their
          childish sports.  Her second brother residing in Newark, New Jersey was
          permitted the painful pleasure only of attending her funeral; but it was
          consolation to the "loved onee at home."  Two other brothers were necessarily
          absent, the third brother in San Francisco, Cal.  Her death caused a shadow to fall
          over her pleasant native village.  Her funeral  services  day,  were attended
          May 1st, at the  Methodist Church, Rev. Mr. Sherman of Piermont, N. H., happily
          officiating while many youthful friends who were wont to meet with her on former
          joyful occasions of this festive day, now mingled their tears and those of the
          bereaved and mourning relatives.
       
                San Jose, California, May 4th, of hemorrhage of the lungs, James A.
           Harmon, a native of Buxton, Maine, aged 27 years, 6 months.  Deceased
          had been a resident of San Francisco for fourteen years; he was an only son,
          loved and respected by all who knew him and leaves a wife and two children
          in San Francisco, and father, mother and sisters in Maine who mourn the loss.

          the thigh and inflicting a wound so serious that he could not be moved home, but
          cared for at the house of Mr. Davenport.  Mr. Davenport is naturally, it is said a
          kind-hearted man but has a quick and most ungovernable temper.

          that he was "Shang" Campbell, wanted by Inspector Byrnes, of New York for
          burglary.  The man had a large sum of money with him, including $600 Canadian
          bills, leading the officers to believe he was the man wanted.  He was lodged in jail
         at Augusta, but was released the next day, one of Brynes' force saying he was not the
         wanted man. That evening a telegram received from Ottawa stated that the man
         arrested was Charles Stubbs, a lumber man of that city who left for the States two

              A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Mrs. Orrin Boothby of South
          Waterboro, for assault with the intent to kill on Mrs. Ivory Bean of that town
          last week. The attending physician says that Mrs. Bean cannot recover. Jealousy
          was the cause of the assault.  The trial will be held before the justice of South
          Waterboro on Wednesday. Several citizens of the town have been summoned.
              Imogene Emerson of Biddeford, aged 21 who was frightfully burned by her clothing
          coming in contact with the kitchen stove last winter, died Sunday night.  She had been

          assault.  He retracted his plea of not guilty and pleaded guilty. He was fined $10 and
          cost to $30, which he paid.  The young Maddox boy who Haines assaulted is rapidly
          improving.  He has an abscess under his knee but will undoubtedly recover from the
          effects of the assault.
              A young son of George F. Bryant of Biddeford on the river bank on Friday
          afternoon and was carried over the falls. The body was not recovered.
              A three year old daughter of John Kneeland of Saco, lies at the point of death
          and the physicians who have been summoned since her sickness, have been unable
          to decide upon the disease from which she suffers, says the Biddeford Journal.
          Twelve weeks ago from apparently perfect health she was suddenly taken with
          chills and the joint of the limbs began swelling. The first physician  who attended
          pronounced it a case of rheumatic fever, and a little later some worm medicine was
          given to the child.  Since then she has been unable  to hold anything like nourishment
          and has steadily wasted away, until at present the child is simply a living skeleton.
          She seems to experience but little suffering, and is so faint is the spark of remaining
          life that several times she was thought dead. The physician are completely baffled by
          the disease and give no hopes of the child's recovery, and her death is expected at any
          moment.
              Henry U. Haley of Saco died Wednesday from blood poison caused by some
          poisonous dye stuff getting into a slight scratch on his finger about a month ago.
             A daughter of Louis Nadean of Biddeford died recently from a trouble thought
          to have been contracted by an excessive indulgence in jumping the rope.
