           The Bates commencement week opened last Sunday with Baccalaureate sermon
     by acting President Hayes, who took for his text, "We know what we worship." The
     college alumni chose Josiah Chase, of Portland, as President Dr. F.E.  Sleeper, of
     Sabattus, and W. E. C. Rich were elected members of the Board of Overseers.
          Solon Chase writes to the Boston Globe that the utterance of Chase's Chronicle in
     regard to the State convention did not reflect his ideas, but that the Greenback platform,
     as adopted, does reflect them and that it is "practicable, radical and invulnerable."
          Last Saturday the corner stone of a new Episcopalian Church was laid by Bishop
     Neeley, at Lewiston. The walls are to be of stone  and it will be erected this season.
     
                                                      AROOSTOOK

          Emigrants are going to Presque Isle is considerable number this season. Building
     lots in the village, and no vacant stores are to be found. This owing to the prospect of
     the early completion of the railroad to that town.

     the Scarborough beaches on Monday.
          The 87th birthday of Mrs. Eleanor Fitts, widow of Mr. Samuel Fitts, of Freeport
     was celebrated on the 13th of June, by the usual gathering of her children and friends.
     There were present seven children, twenty-two grand children and eighteen great
     grand children. There were sixty in all who were bountifully provided for from the
     table of Mr. Samuel Fitts and his sister Miss Almira Fitts, son and daughter, who resides
     at the homestead. The day was exceedingly pleasant and long to be remembered by
     all present. J. A. F.
          Mr. Cyrus Thurlow, a well known citizen of Deering, died at his residence at
     Abbot's Corner on Thursday week, after a long illness caused  by enlargement of
     the liver. Mr. Thurlow was about 55 years of age, and a native of Westbrook. For
     six weeks past he had been engaged in market  gardening on a large scale. He had
     held the office of selectman of Deering, and was highly  esteemed by his fellow
    citizens.
          A very large audience gathered at the High School building in Deering on Friday
     week, to witness the exercises of the graduating class, which numbered seven. The
      performances were very creditable to the school which is under the instruction of
      Mr. Fred Robbins and Miss H. Hawkes. The music, under the direction of Mr. A. J.
      added much to the interest of the occasion.

                                                           FRANKLIN
  
          There was intense excitement last week on the line of the Sandy River railroad,
     upon the rumor that Mr. Shannehan, one of the contractors had found while excavating
     for the road, a copper pot, which was hurriedly taken away and left in the bank. It was
     said that it contained over $30,000 in gold which is  probably a great exaggeration. Mr.
     Shannehan does not state how much it contained.
          Camp  meeting John Allen announces that it is proposed to celebrate the 54th
     anniversary of his conversion in a grove near Fairbanks Mills, on Sunday the 29th

          Rev. J. Evarts Pond lately of Hampden has been installed pastor of the
     Congregational Church of Warren.
          Haines the murderer conceived a plan to murder the turnkey of the Bangor jail
     last year, in a manner similar to that lately employed in murdering his keeper at
     Rockland. The plan miscarried, and he was kept in a dungeon three months on
     account of it. He evidently is not a criminal to trifle with. He says he is a candidate
     for a long term, and expects to be elected. He spoiled the lock of his cell in the jail
     at Rockland, before he was put in the city lock up.

     him to State Prison for life.
          Portland has not hitherto boasted much over the fact that Weston, the walkist who
     has for a long series of years found his account in coming a little short of success, who
     has indeed seemed to consider a miss as a little better than a mile in his career, is a
     native of this city; now that he has really done something, we  can crow over the feat;
     he was named Edward Payson, after the eminent divine whose name will ever be
     associated with that of our city.

     Hill.
          At the closing exercises of St. Dominies school, on Tuesday.  Bishop Nealey
     delivered an address and awarded the prizes.
         Tuesday was marked by an unusual number of alarms which kept the fire
     department very busy; there was a false alarm on Monument Street, followed
     by a small fire near the office of the Eastern Express Co., which was extinguished
     without an alarm; then came the partial burning of the house of Captain John
     Armstrong, 24 Cedar Street, caused by a defective chimney; loss covered by
     insurance; a more distressing fire was that at Dyer's block, Hanover Street, also
     caused by a defective chimney; the bock was occupied by Alonzo Quimby and

THE PORTLAND ADVERTISER AND GAZETTE OF MAINE, December 8, 1835

                                                        MISCELLANEOUS

          A young  man named Joseph Robinson, of Brewer, aged about 16, a student in
     China (Me.) Academy committed suicide by hanging himself on Thursday last.
                                                                                                                 Bangor Adv.

          East Machias.-We learn by the last Calais Gazette, the J. Dickinson and others, will
     petition the Legislature to be incorporated by the name of the East Machias Canal
     Company, for the purpose of making a   canal uniting the tide waters of the East
     Machias River with Hadley's Lake, so called, and many other lakes between said lake
     and the source of said river, and the Gardiner's Lake, and other lakes in the Gardiner
     river and the Gardiner's Lake, and other lakes in the Gardiner stream, so called-and so
     forth,-all of which we should be right glad to see accomplished.-Bangor Adv.

          Distressing Casualty-The child of Rev. Hervey Hawes of Hampden, was burnt so
     shockingly on Saturday morning last that it survived only about eight hours. The
     little sufferer-a girl about 4 years of age-had in the absence of its parents for a few
     moments, approached the fire so near that her clothes caught, and in one minute she
     was enveloped in flames, which when first discovered blazed two or three feet above
     her head. Her clothes were burnt to a cinder. Mr. Hawes, in attempting to extinguish
     the flames had his hand badly burnt, but not so much as to permanently deprive him
     of its use.  We would recommend to parents that their children be clothed from top
     to toe in woolen during the cold part of the season, when large fires are indispensable.
      "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Bangor Adv.
                                                                                                 
          We learn from the Radical, that a saw mill  on Webb's Brook in Waltham, owned
     by S. G. Woodward of Ellsworth, was burnt down on Friday morning.

          Painful-We learn that Mr. Charles W. Pine, of Portland, formerly of this town,
     was killed by a fall from the main topsail yard  of the brig Caroline, about the 6th of
     November. The brig had just arrived at Pictou, Nova Scotia, and the crew were in the
     act of furling the sails. Mr. Pine was standing upon the main topsail yard, which being
     covered with ice, caused him to slip off. In his descent, he struck upon the main yard
     and it is supposed,  broke both his legs, from thence he fell to the deck and was
     instantly killed. The deceased was 33 years  of age, and has left a wife and two
     children.                                                                                             [Eastport Sentinel.
                                                                                                          

          Maine Wesleyan Seminary-Kent's Hill, Readfield.  From a catalogue of the
     officers and students of this institution, we learn that the whole number of students
     at present attending the seminary is 142 males-females 52. Rev. William C.
     Larrabee is Principal-Miss Phebe Paine, Preceptress. A library of 500 volumes is
     connected to the seminary. There is also a Laboring Department connected with it-

          An address was delivered last evening, in the 2nd Parish Meetinghouse, by Rev.
     Mr. Vail, before the Female Charitable Society, after which contribution was taken
     in aid of its funds. The amount collected was $135. We understand this was the
     largest sum ever taken at one time by the Society.

                                                 MARINE INTELLICENCE

          Fears are entertained for the safety of three of the packets which left August for
     Boston over a fortnight ago; the schooners Mary, Captain Heath, the Fame, Captain
     Beale, and the Hellespont, Captain Beck. They were out in the N E storm, and have
     not been heard of since. Other vessels which sailed afterwards arrived in due season.

     instances in localities where they have not been observed before for a quarter of a
     century. But while they are thus frequently seen near, the settlement they are notably
     numerous in their favorite haunts in the depths of the forest. The greatest deer park
     in Maine, or in fact on the Atlantic Slope is in the vicinity of Nicatous Lake. A few
     weeks since James West and wife of Camp Nicatons, while canoeing from Nicatous
     Lake, up Gasabeus Stream to the lake of the latter name, saw 12 deer in one afternoon.

THE PORTLAND TRANSCRIPT, August 11, 1886

                                                                LOCAL NOTES

          The city was thrilled Wednesday forenoon by the announcement that a sail boat
     had capsized off Indian  Cove, Diamond Island, and that seven persons, all relatives,
     were drowned. It was a number of hours, owing to the lack of telephone facilities, before
     definite information concerning the disaster was obtainable.  It appears that a party
     of fifteen persons, comprising the families of John R. Cleveland and James S. Whitten,
     and immediate relatives, were on their way in two small boats to Diamond Cove, and
     when nearing that point the boat in advance was capsized by a sudden gust of wind. Of
     the eight aboard but one escaped-little Jimmy Whitten-who sustained himself by
     swimming until the second boat reached the scene. The following are the names of the
     drowned; Wellington Masters, 71 years old; Jane Masters, his wife, aged 69; Benjamin
     Whitten, aged 7; Maud Whitten, aged 12; Harry Cleveland, aged 7; Emma Cleveland,
     aged 11;  Jane Masters, aged 11. The boat containing the unfortunate  was of the center
     board description, and Mr. Masters, who had the tiller, was not familiar with the boat of
     that class. Five bodies have been recovered,  those of two children not having been found.

          The calamity by which seven persons had lost their lives last week, adds another to the
     list of accidents caused by the mismanagement of sail boats in sudden squalls. In this case
     the accident was due to the attempt to jibe the boat with the center board up. The lesson
     often taught and so constantly disregarded in the danger of inexperienced persons
     attempting to manage sail boasts, especially when crowded with women and children.
     Doubtless in the hands of an experienced boatman there is little danger in a sail boat, but
     they are often cranky and require constant watchfulness on the part of those who manage
     them. We can recall three or four instances in which parties of six or seven have been
     drowned by their capsizing in our harbor.  One  occurred in Diamond Cove, when five or
     six young men lost their lives. In July 1848, by the capsizing of the pleasure boat Lee, near
     Hog Island Ledge, the wife and three children of Mr. Smith and four children of John
     Whyley were drowned. Instances in which one or more persons are drowned by similar
     accidents are frequent. on the other hand though it is now about forty years since steamboats
     began to run to the islands,we do not recall the loss of a single life among the hundreds of
     thousands transported by them.Those who go a sailing should be sure of their boat and
     their boatman.

          Mr. Fuller who had his hands blown off while firing a salute at Mechanic Falls July
     3rd, married Olive Swallow, daughter of  Larned Swallow, who had both arms blown
     off , July 4, 1834 at Fort Preble. The accident was caused by the carelessness of the man
     attending the vent of the gun. Mr. Swallow had enlisted in the service of the United
     States as an artisan, and was stationed at Fort Preble. He was detailed on the morning by
     the commander to assist in firing a national salute. He was then twenty-eight years old.
     The following October he was married, and drew a pension from the government until
     his death in 1862. He lost two sons in the War of the Rebellion, one serving in the Union
     Army, the other in the Confederate.  C. Swallow.

          The wife of Mr. H. B. Brown, the artist, died suddenly Monday morning at their
     residence on Cushing's Island. She had been for time in delicate health, but benefit
     was expected from the pure air of the island, and she retired Sunday night apparently
     as well as usual. The family have returned to their residence on Danforth Street, where
     funeral services will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The sudden death of
     Mrs. Brown was a sad surprise to a large circle of refined, artistic tastes, and highly
     esteemed for many admirable qualities. Her husband and daughter have the sympathy
     in their bereavement of all who knew her.
