                                            (Glances About Town)
          If we may  believe what the dailies say of each other the editorial corps of the
     city has been strengthened by auxiliaries; according the Press Mrs. Harris is a
     leading contributor to the columns  of the Angus, and the same authority
     announces that Mr. Jorkins is apparent in the editor of the Advertiser, while
     the latter sheet learns that Humphrey Guptill of the  Press; all these
     announcements, we presume, are to be taken in a Pickwickian sense.
          The Army and Navy entertainment will open with a grand vocal and instrumental
      concert, by Gilmore's Band and Orchesters, and Mrs. C. A. Barry, November
     10th; this will be followed by three other first class concerts for which Miss
     Carey, Miss Addie S. Ryan and the Mendelssonhn Quintette Club have been
     engaged;  these together with the lectures by Rev. Mr. Murray Matthew Hale
     Smith, and others, offer  a very attractive course worthy of a large patronage.
          A little son of  Mr. Rufus Waite, was run over by a large jigger on Monday;
     hopes were entertained that the injury would not prove fatal.
          John Chinaman has appeared in our streets, looking spruce and trim.
           Among the many fine residences in this city the present season is the elegant
      mansion of Honorable Woodbury Davis at the corner of Congress and Mellen
     Streets; the estimated cost of the establishment is $25,000.

          Thus has passed away one whose loveliness of character endeared her to all associated
      with her. An honest, thoughtful child, cherishing the good and abhorring the wrong she
      was universally beloved wherever known. Dear little Nellie! The wealth of beautiful
     flowers laid upon her casket by the member of her school class, bore testimony of their
     appreciation of gentleness and worth. Without murmuring she passed through her long
     suffering, and to the end, in her relation as a daughter and a sister, and friend was tender
     and loving, and will be missed and mourned by all who know her well.
    
                                                       In memoriam-Charles C. Frost
                                                  " A combination and a form, indeed!
                                                    Where every god seem to get his seal,
                                                     To give the world assurance of a man.
          These words of his favorite author fitly portray our noble Charlie. Of a bright, fun-
     loving disposition, he yet possessed those sterner qualities, foreign to all save dauntless
     spirits, who seem  born to conquer. A fine presence, united with great personal magnetism,
     attracted innumerable friends all of who in mercantile as well as  social circles, join with
     us in lamenting a common sorrow. Endowed with superior talents, his brief career
     shadowed forth grand possibilities. The counting-house, the crowded street, the busy
     mart will know him no more. No longer will the brave young yachtsman gayly glide o'er
     the billow of Casco Bay. No longer the hall of the "Warwick's" will re-echo his
     melodious voice. All that now remain are love and tears to tell us he hath been. Kissing
     away his struggling breath the Death-angel bore our darling to "the undiscovered
     country, from whose bourn  no traveler return." The cloud is rifted, and from beyond the
     stars, a voice is saying: "All is wll," On, widowed mother! They treasures wait thee on the
     far-off shore; and God, they God will give them all to thee.
