THE PORTLAND TRANSCRIPT, November 6, 1858

                                                          MISCELLANEOUS

          The editor of the Lewiston Falls Journal has visited Captain Holmes, recently
     convicted for the murder of Chadwick, in Auburn jail.
          He was smoking a pipe, and appeared as composed as any person could expect
     one to be with so dreadful a fate before him.  He spoke in a calm manner of his
     conviction, blaming the public and the jury for thinking that he should have done
     the fatal deed when in his right mind. He said that his wife could not live long, and
     unless he was removed to Wiscassset  he should not be able to see her again.
         Officers having examined Wiscasset jail, and found it perfectly secure, it is
     understood Captain Holmes will be removed there forthwith. The only object of his
     friends in asking his removal to Wiscasset is that may have the opportunity to visit
     him daily, and perform kindly  offices of friendship.

          Liquor Split. The McGlinchy brother, of this city well known as Irish rum sellers,
     have been disturbed in their business here, recently took a load of liquor up to
     Lewiston, but the priest of that place, getting wind of the movement confronted them,
     with a companion, armed with hatchets, and with "apostolic blows and knocks" stove
     in the head of two barrels and set the liquor running. A melee ensued, his reverence
     knocked McGlinchy down and McGlinchy floored his reverences' companion.
     McGlinchy made tracks, but a warrant was issued for his arrest.

          Accidents. As Moses Burns of Waldoboro, aged 18 years, was passing a loaded
     gun from a small boat at Long Island, near Friendship, 19th ult., it accidently went
     off, and the contents entered his bowels causing almost instant death.
          On Wednesday week a son of Mr. Stover Libby, of Scarboro, about 9 years of age,
     was caught in a threshing machine and had his arm so badly lacerated that it was
     found necessary to amputate it just above the elbow joint.

          Politics in the Pulpit. The Machias Republican comes filled with the report of the
     trial of the following novel story.
          No 245-Hiram P. Osgood vs. Joseph Crandon. This action was brought to recover
     $16  subscribed by defendant towards paying for the plaintiff's services as preacher of
     the gospel.  In the testimony it appeared that the money was not to be paid if the
     plaintiff preached politics, which the defendant tho't he did, and consequently refused
     payment. The jury failed to agree after being out about five hours.

          The Bath Times has a doubtful report of the death of the wife of Captain Holmes,
     now in Auburn jail, at her father's house in Newcastle on Saturday morning last.

          On the 26th, Rev. A. C. Adams was installed over the Lewiston Falls Congregational
     Church.  Sermon by Rev. Dr. Adams of Brunswick; Charge to the Pastor by Rev. Dr.
     Chickering, of Portland.

          The woolen factory of Mr. Eben Clough, at Bethel was entered on Friday night,
     and robbed of 600 yards of domestic cloth, valued at $300.  The Railroad Depot was
     also robbed of $25 in cash.

          Messrs. Lock & Aiken of Portland have made an extensive purchase at Presque
     Isle, including the sawmill and stand now occupied by Sumner Whitney, Esq., and they
     are to enlarge the Whitney house by an addition of a third story and an L one hundred
     feet long, which they will open as a public house. They will also build a large store.

          In Chesterville 20th, an old gentleman named John Neal was knocked down and
     robbed by a young man named John H. Perkins, who was afterwards arrested and
     lodged in Farmington jail.

          The Rev. S. H. Merrill of the Bethel Church has been invited to take charge of
     Evangelical Church in Southbridge, Mass.

          Found Dead.  Edward Carr aged 23, was found dead in the rear of Andrew
     McGlinchy's house, Congress Street, in which he boarded, early Sunday morning.
     An investigation showed that he was taken sick in the night, and went to the window
     to vomit, from which he probably fell and was killed.

                                                               DISATERS &c.

          Brig Sarah Starr,, Blake, from Cardenas, Mexico, for Portland, with molasses put
     into Norfolk, Va., 20th, with cargo shifted and vessel damaged
          The wreck of the schooner Ranger, of Searsport, from Bangor for Boston,
     reported found derelict and towed it  into Annnisquam, Mass., was sold at auction for
     $215.00. The cargo has yet been sold.

                                                              OBITUARY
    
          In Sebec, Piscataquis County, August 15th of consumption, Mrs. Sarah Jane,
     wife of John W. Courier, and daughter of William Taylor, aged 24 year, 1 month. The
     deceased was a devoted wife and tender mother. In those bereaved hearts that knew
     her best will she be longest remembered and her loss most deeply deplored. She died
     in the midst of life, with husband an children around her. How will those children miss
     a mother's thoughtful care, and how they will need her counsels to guide and direct
     them through the years of youth; but her voice is silent, her race is run, and the heart
     that shed a peaceful light of love and sympathy on all who come within its influence,
     can thrill no more with earthly joys or sorrows. A husband and three children are left
     to feel that death has made a void in their number which can never be filled. She was
     patient in her sufferings; showed an interest in the cause of Christ and a love to God's
     people.  Religion presented  to her a bright prospect in the future and enable her to say
     it looks bright beyond the grave.  Albert Platt.

                                                Father thou hast gone before us
                                                   and thy saintly soul has flown,
                                                Where tears are wip'd from ev'ry eye,
                                                    and sorrow is unknown;
                                                But the spirit soars away
                                                    Among the faithful blest,
                                                May each like thee depart in peace,
                                                    To be a glorious guest.

            Rumors of Trouble in The East.-We learn from the Bangor Whig of Friday, that
      McLaughlin, the Provincial Land Agent, has been at Fish River, which is about 50
      miles from No. 10, (township or plantation) and 40 men and ordered off by Captain
      Nye and his men, about 30 in number; they then went down the river, it is supposed
     for reinforcement. The letter from which this information is derived is at St. Croix,
      No 10, May 14th. It adds, "We immediately sent one express to Fort Fairfield for
      men, and one to Colonel Jarvis, informing him of the facts, and started a boat load of
     men,  ammunition and provision for the "the seat of war." The writer further adds,
     "We say Fish River County by arrangement belongs to us, we have sent force there
      to secure the timber, take off trespassers and exercise jurisdiction."


                                                  MARINE DISATERS & ETC.

          The ship Oceanus, of Portland, Prince, master  from Boston for Savaannah,
     in ballast went ashore on the 11 inst., off  Stono Breakers, (South Carolina) totally lost.
     Captain Prince and part of the crew arrived at Charleston on the 11th inst., for assistance
     The mate and the balance of the crew took the long boat and landed at Stono. Pervious
     to their leaving the ship had two feet of water in her hold, but had not bilged. Captain
     Prince will return to the wreck and endeavor to save what he can. The Oceanus had a
     Savannah pilot at the time of her going on shore. The steamer John Adams has
     proceeded to the wreck.
          Brig Champion, of Portland, Blanchard, from Boston for Havana, was lost at Royal
     (probably Ragged) Island 24th ult., part of cargo, sails and rigging saved. Captain
     Blanchard arrived at Philadelphia 13th inst., in schooner Elizabeth from Nassau.
     There  was $5 or $6000 insured on the cargo in Boston, which probably covered the
    loss upon it.
          Brig Commodore  Tucker (of Thomaston) Barlow, reported master, for Camden for
     New Orleans, was lost with her cargo of lime, 24th ult., on   Abaco; rigging, sails,
     chains and anchors saved.

     below Baltimore 14th inst.
          Captain Brown, of brig Pioneer, at Baltimore reports that on 10th inst., in  a gale
     from E N E, saw a brigantine ashore about 15 miles south of Cape Henry. From the
     violence of the gale Captain Brown thinks she must have gone to pieces during the
    storm.
          The brig Snow (?) of Thomaston at New Orleans, rolled away her main topmast
     and to gallant mast, in lat 29 lon 74.
          Brig Louise at Philadelphia, report April 24th, lat 44 16 lon 3? 24, saw the rigging

                    "We mourn-but it is meet, O young departed!
                     That for thy early death, our tears should fall-
                  That hopeless grief should leave us broken-hearted?
                     Though thy dear form has faded from us all!

                  E'en as a flower, untimely frosts have blighted
                     Before its fairest leaves our sight had met.
                  Whose budding beauty fost'ring hearts delighted-
                     Sweet bud of promise! thus thy days have met.

                 But holy joys are thine; blest seraph! wending
                     Thy youthful footsteps midst that shining throng,
                 And glad the gush of melody, that's blending,
                     From thy sweet lips, with that angelic song.

                 Harmonious, through the glitt'ring courts of heaven
                     That music floats, and O, how softly mild
                 That notes of love that breath of sins forgiven!
                     Early thou'st learn'd the strain, blest heavenly child!

                 Then weep not, sorrowing mother! thou hast given
                     A precious off'ring to the sacred shrine;
                  It shineth softly in the crown of heaven,
                     A pearl of chasten'd lustre, all divine.

                  Farewell, dear child! to earth we'd not recall thee;
                     Repose, in peace, upon the Saviour's breast;
                  Nor care nor sorrow ever can befall thee-
                     Thine is a Sabbath of Eternal rest."  [Extract]

          Stubborn Facts for those who drink  Rum, sell it, or buy it for others. A jury
     was summoned last Friday, by Zenas Briggs, Coroner, to enquire into the cause of
     the death of Mr. Amos Merrill, Jr., who was found dead in the road, about half a mile
     from his house, in New Gloucester last Tuesday night or Wednesday. It seems
     from the facts developed before the jury, that the deceased had been a day or two
     from home engaged in breaking roads and drinking near Sabbath Day Pond, in New
     Gloucester.  Having been for some time quite intoxicated he was urged by some of
     his neighbors to go home, but he declined unless he could get some more rum. The
     storekeeper, Mr. Asa W. Gowen, much to his credit on this occasion, denied him,
     although he had the miserable murderous stuff on tap. But, it seems the unfortunate
     Merrill had a friend who was kindly disposed to furnish him with the deadly poison.
     He did so. Being apparently in rather better standing than Merrill, the deceased, he
     procured a jug and quart of rum, and after guzzling down a portion of it himself,
     (pity he hadn't swallowed the whole of it.) he gave it to Merrill, who started for home.
     The miserable man got part way, drank-sat down in the snow-drank again-and died!
     The body, frozen and lifeless was found in a sitting position nearly buried in  the snow,
     one mitten off, probably the better to handle the jug, and the jug beside the body almost
     drained of its contents, about half a pint of liquid poison remaining in it. How poignant
     and cutting the reflection of this man must be who procured the rum, unless his to his
     conscience is seared as hard as his throat must be! "Cursed is he who put the cup
     neighbor's mouth." What better is the man than a murderer! with his eyes wide open
      to the consequences, he purchased the killing drug-gave it to his already intoxicated
      neighbor; his neighbor took it-drank it-sat down in the snow-drank again-and died
          We hope this tragedy with its horrid catastrophe will teach all in the neighborhood
     where it took place the wretched consequences of tasting, touching or handling the
     cursed article. Especially do we hope that this man who bought the poison for his
     neighbor will set about a work of reformation, and in full view of the part which he

                                         Thou was't not born to dwell on earth,
                                         And here engage in sinful mirth;
                                         Joys nobler, purer were designed,
                                         To fill the young immortal mind.


                                                  MISCELLANEOUS

          The Gage Tavern at Bridgton Center, was wholly destroyed by fire on Sunday
     last. Insured, $1,300.

          Frozen.-Mr. Ebenezer Ayers of Cooper, Washington County, Me., was found
      frozen to death in the woods in Township No. 42 Maine, on Monday the 26th ult.

          A little girl about eight years old named Kelley, fell upon one of the lime kilns in
     Rockland, one day last week and was so severely burned that she died on Sunday last

          S. H. Jacobs, who shot an Irishman at Fairfield, has been tried at Norridgewock and
    sentenced to the State Prison for seven years.

          Eating House.-Messrs. Ingersoll & Son have taken store No. 77, "Fox Block,"
     and fitted it up in fine style as a confectionary and restorator (sic) establishment. Their
     rooms are spacious, well lighted, and lofty and their refreshments for the inner man are
     admirably served, as all who were in at the free lunch on Saturday can testify. They
     deserved patronage and will get it. As friends at  our elbow says-

                                                "Those will now eat who never ate before,
                                                    And those who always ate will eat the more."

          The Legislature.-"Things is working" at Augusta. And it is amusing to observe
     the moderated exultation of the successful maneuvers, and the look of injured
     innocence put on by the discomfited party!  They are shocked at much profligacy,
     the honest souls!  The Whigs, Morrill men and Free Soilers seem to have coalesced
     without difficulty and have elected Noah Smith, Jr., of Calais (Whig) Speaker of
     the House, and General J. J. Perry, (Morrill) Clerk.  The Senate having a majority
     of regular democrats, has spent its time in trying to out wit the coalition. As there
     is a majority of Pillsbury men elected to the Senate, they wish to force the House
     into action upon only a portion of the vacancies, and thus secure the organization
     of the Senate. The House refuses to go into this partial arrangement, and thus the
     wheels of government are at a stand-still.


                                                          DISASTERS

          Ship Clinton  of Bath, Murphy, which was at Turks Island 9th ult., ldg for
     New Orleans, is reported to have been lost no date, on Turks Island or Grand

          Schooner Mt. Vernon, Collamer, from Falmouth, of and for Lincolnville, (not
     Portland as  reported) went ashore on Scituate beach in the late gale, and will be got
     off  until  the spring.

          MISSING VESSEL.-The barque Baring Brothers, Gregg, which sailed from
     Havana, Cuba, August 20, 1853, for Falmouth, England, has not since been heard
     from-Captain Gregg was a resident of this city, and leaves a wife and family. He was
     part owner of the vessel.

          The assay of the contents of the three gold accumulator of the Electrolytic
     Marine Salts Company, which were sent to Providence, developed nothing
     conclusive as to whether the Jernegan sea water gold process was a fraud or a
     failure. Two gave no returns while the third gave sufficient eivdence of gold to
     warrrant the company in continuing the tests.  Fifteen accumulators are now being
     operated at North.   The three accumulators, the contents of which were sent to
     Providence, were only in operation one week, which is not considered sufficient
     time to warrant a conclusive test.

          Of the 17 prisoners, 16 men and one woman, confined in Washington County
     Jail, for various offenses, two are John Fitzsimmons and Michael Myers of Calais,
     who escaped from the officers when they were being brought there, charged with

          Eastport Sentinel: C. F. Perkins manufactor of the fire extinguisher one of which
      machines exploded causing the death of Colonel E. T. Lee, was in Calais Thursday
      evening and tested the machine, now owned by the city. Mr. Perkins' company claimed
     that each extingiusher is tested at 200 pounds and that they will not explode unless
     overcharged. To prove his case he applied 210 pounds of water to one of the machines
      and it stood the test beautifully. He then very confidently picked up the mate to the
      extenguisher to run the pressure up to same point. When it reached  over 160 or 175
      pounds, bang! went the bottom covering the aldermanic table which was standing with
      water. The inventor's face was a study; he was the most surprised man in the lot, and he
      had so much faith in the extinguisher's ability to stand any reasonable amount of pressure
      that he was completely floored by the bursting of the bottom.
 
          William Ogden of Drew picked a bushel of cranberries on "Drew dead water,"

          Ivory Booth, employed on the farm of Mrs. Abbie Parcher of North Saco, was
     called to the door Wednesday evening by a stranger who said his carriage had broken
     down and he needed assistance; Mr. Boothby left the house with him and did not
     return. Beside Mrs. Parcher who is quite an aged lady, there were stopping at the house
     a Mrs. Foss and Miss Rena Morrill, and the two last named ladies went early Thursday
     morning in search of Mr. Boothby after lying awake all night in alarm of his long
     absence. After going a short distance they found the dead body of Mr. Boothby and
     summoned help. Investigation showed that he had been shot twice, and robbery was
     the probable motive for the crime as his pocketbook known to have contained some
      $25.00 was missing. An inquest was held and several clues were followed, one resulting
      in the arrest of Nathan Wade, a wandering wood chopper in that vicinity, but he was
      able to prove an albi. Mr. Boothby was an honest, industurious citizen, 48 years of age,
     unmarried and previous to his working for Mrs. Parcher had lived with his brother on
     the Jenkins Road, about five miles from the city. Crowds of people from all over the
     county attended the funeral services, which were held Sunday. Not half of them could get
     within the sound  of the minister's voice.  Nearly 100 horses were standing within sight
     of the house, hitched to fences and trees. Search for the murderer is going on in Cumberland
     and York counties.  It is thought to be the work of a tramp.

     Biddeford and will run in as a branch of his Portland store. His brother-in-law, Mr.
     G. Larrabee will be its manager.

          Fred Varney, a young merchant of Dover, N. H. was drowned while bathing at
     York Beach Sunday noon. A companion was rescued in such an exhausted condition
     that only vigorous measures brought resucitation and consciousness.

          Although Mrs. Judith Ricker of East Lebanon is in her 98th year, very deaf and
     blind, she is still able to get about the house with the aid of a stout cane that has been
     her constant campanion for several years.  Mrs. Ricker and an unmarried daughter
    live by themselves on the road leading to center Lebanon.
   
          The lull in Biddeford's two sided rum war was broken again when City Marshall
      Harmon and his deputy raided J. B. Fortin & Co., drug store at the corner of Main
      and Water Streets. They got a barrel of beer, three kegs  and several bottles of liquor.
     The seizure is said to be the outcome of a violation of Marshall Harmon's decree that
     no liquor be sold in town on the Sabbath.

          Major Daniel E. Morse, one of Lyman's oldest and most respected citizens,
      who died at his nephew's residences in Portland Thursday evening, aged 84 years,
     possessed a unique and interesting personality and during his early years, had
     travelled extensively.  He was one of the California's Forty-niner's and lived several
     years in Oregon. During the early fifities he was a trader in Springfield, Illinois,
     having as one of his customers Abraham Lincoln, who became his warm friend, and
     bestowed upon him several gifts which Mr. Morse fondly treasured to the day of his
     death.  After several changes from wealth to poverty he finally returned to his native
      town to spend his declining years.  The funeral services were held from the
      Congregational Church Saturday morning. Rev. Raymond C. Drisko officiating.
     The interment was in Evergreen cemetery.

          Another Revolutionary charactor gone-and one of a most extraordinary nature.
     Mrs. Deborah, wife of Mr. Benjamin Gannett, died at her family residence in Sharon,
     Norfolk County, on the 28th ult., aged 67.
          The life of this woman must be considered extraordinary and interesting in a
     number of respects. But the most distinguished feature in her character is that of
     having been a heroine in the American Army of the Revolution. She enlisted as a
     volunteer in the Massachusetts Corps, in the habiliments and character of a soldier,
     where she continued three years, to the close of the war. Extraordinary as this may
     appear, she not only on every occasion, performed the ardour duty of a soldier
     with more than ordinary alertness, gallantry and courage-having been in several
     severe engagements, and twice dangerously wounded-but sustaining a character
     unsullied, and her sex undiscovered till peace was declared at the disbanding of the
     army she received an honorable discharge from the same, and returned to her relatives
     in Massachusetts, still in her regimentals. After the peculiar circumstances of her
     case were developed, the government of this state not only paid her full wages, but
     added a considerable bounty. She has regularly received a pension from Congress
                                                                                                           [Dedham Register ]

       Deborah Sampson Gannett was born December 17, 1760  and was from Uxbridge,
       Worcester County, Massachusetts.  She enlisted as "Robert Shurtlieff."  She
      died April 29, 1827 aged the age of 66.
