                                                        MAINE MATTERS

              As Mr. H. B Boody of Merrill's Corner, Westbrook was drawing some
          kerosene in his store on Monday evening last with a lamp in his hand, an
          explosion took place and in fifteen minutes the building was all in flames,
          and as nothing could be done to save it, it was burned to the ground, though
          a portion of the stock was saved. Stock insured for $2,000. The building was
          owned by O. B. Howard.

              The Somerset Reporter say that Mr. Luther Temple, living alone in the edge
          of Moscow, Me., was called to the door by a Frenchman who attemped to stab
          him and then ran. The weapon struck a rib, so that serious injury was not
          inflicted. Mr. Temple is sure as to who the man was, but the Trail Justice before
          whom the matter was brought did not deem the testimony conclusive and
          dismised him.

              Some ill natured persons may think it a remarkable coincidence that at the very
          time Governor Chamberlain was invited to attend the meeting of the editor and
          publishers in this city, his official duty made it necessary for him to inspect the
          State Prison in Thomaston!  However, he found some of the fraternity there.

              Mrs. Lemuel Cobb was thrown from her carriage in Cape Elizabeth on Friday,
          by some drunken fellows who purposely drove their vehicle against her carriage.

          injuries are not serious.

              Frank Bickford who escaped from Alfred jail last July, was arrested last week

              It is reported that William Oliver, as insane man confined at the poor farm at
          Kendall's Mills, hung himself in the barn attached to the farm. He was formerly a

              Messrs. White and McGilvery, of Belfast, are building a pair of twin ships, side
          by side of 1285 tons each, and there is not intended to be the least perceptible
          difference in them from keel to truck.

              Mr. C. M. Allen has established a new iron foundry at South Windham, and
          will give special attention to furnishing points for Fry's, Hanson's, Goddard's,
          Varney's and Hall's ploughs.

              Jones's corn factory at Pride's Bridge, Westbrook, now employes 100 men, and
           if the corn is ripe it will give employment to 500 persons, some 200 of whom are
           women.

              Mr. P. N. Dexter of Lewiston, accidentally sawed the ends of three fingers off
          his left hand,  Wednesday week, while at work at the Adroscoggin Mills.

              Thomas Pennell of Harpswell, has been appointed Treasuere for Cumberland
          County in place of Peter R. Hall, deceased.

          was drowned while bathing on Monday week.

              Burglars entered the home of Luther Perry, in Belfast on Tuesday week, broke
         open a trunk and stole $65.00.

          Glenwood; Vice, Matilda I. Dunning, removed; Otis Gilmore, Brewer; Vice,
          William Morgan removed.

             The shop of Mrs. H. A. Arnold of Readfield, was broken open Wednesday week,
          about $400.00 worth of ribbons and other articles carried off.

              Rev. J. C. Snow has accepted the position of Principal of Westbrook Seminary,
          and will enter upon the duties as such on the first of October.

              Rev. Mr. Hayden of this city, has been delivering a series of lectures at
          Brunswick, of which the Telegraph speaks in terms of recommendation.

              At Kendall's Mills  last week, Mr. Towne had his arm badly fractured, above
          and below the elbow, by having it caught in a belt at one of the mills.

              On Thursday week Edward Town, of Bangor had his arm broken by being
          caught in the belt of a factory in which he was at work (As written in  the paper.)

              In Augusta, Deacon James Page, aged 94 and Dorothy Page, his wife, aged 92.
          They were both interred in one grave.  On the 18th ult., Mrs. Mercy Willey, formerly

             In Lisbon, Maine, on the 30th ult., Mr. William Ames, aged 30. By the death of
             this worthy man, society has sustained the loss of a respectable member, and the
             needy; of an ever constant friend. He has left an affectionate, widowed mother,
             and tender sisters to mourn the irreparable loss of an obedient son; a kind and
             effectionate brother and a liberal provider.  Death had previously deprived him of an
             indulgent father and an endeared brother, but he bore up under the affilictions and
             trial with a calm serenity with a truly Christian fortitude.  He was ever respected for
             his morality; esteemed for his piety and noted for his honesty and justness in his
             his dealings among men.  In short, there are none that can say aught against him. His
             exit will be long lamented by a large community, and especially by his relatives, to whom
             it is almost insupportable.  The loss is truly great, on him alone rested the  support of a
             bereft family.  He was a firm believer in the ultimate hoilness of all men, and ever lived in
             accordance with his faith; discharging his duty towards both God and man in a manner
             truly pleasing.  And at last, he retained a pleasing hope of a happy reunion with his friends
             together with the whole family of man, and calmly closed his eyes in death.
       
                                           See grim death, now vainly flinging;
                                             O'er his brow a solemn gloom;
                                           Now to dust in silence bringing
                                             Down its victim to the tomb.

                                           But fond nature still is grasping
                                             Life, poor, feeble life from death;
                                           Still  in pain the victim's grasping,
                                             Loath to yield the fleeting breath.
                                         
                                           Hark! he's gone, his life is closing
                                              Death has conquered nature's strife;
                                           Soon he'll wake for this reposing,
                                              And enjoy eternal life.  [Comm]

                        The Worcester Aegis give the following brief obituary  of the Honorable
          Enoch Lincoln, late Governor of this State.
              "He was the fourth son of the late Levi Lincoln, Lieutentant Governor of this state,
          and born in this town the 28th of December 1788. He was of the graduating  class of                     Harvard University of 1807.  He studied  law in this town. He opened an office first in                   Salem, and after remaining a short time, returned to this town and commenced
         practice here.  He continuted in this place, but a few months when in 1818 he
         established himself  in his profession at Fryeburg, in the then District of Maine. From
         that place he removed to Paris,Me., a neighboring town a few years afterwards. He was
         engaged while here in extensive practice in his profession and enjoyed a high reputation
         as an adriot and profund lawyer.
             He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens to an unusual extent, and
         at an early age was elected a member of Congress and returned several time successively
         without opposition. While a member of Congress in 1826, he was nominated by all parties
         and elected Governor of the state.  This is the third of his holding of that responsible
         office to which he was elected each time with great unanimity by the people. During the
         last spring or winter he  expressed his determination to withdraw from public life, and
         declined being again a candidate for public office. Mr. Lincoln may be justly classed
         among the distuguished men of New England. His attainment as a scholar were of the
         most respectable stamp and the versatility of his talent had led him into almost every
         department of literature as well  as the various branches of science.  He was eminently
         successful in very thing  he turned his mind to.  At the bar he ranked high in his                              profession and in the concerns of Goverment. while a member of Congress, enjoyed                      extensive influence."
           
     
   
                  We find the follwing notice in an Eastport, Maine paper.
             "Rev. Francis w. Emmons of this town, has been commisioned by the Governor
             to solemnize mariages."
                 It may tend to the well being of the public to have particular reverend gentleman
           appointed to solemize the ceremony; but the lawyers havs decided that marriage can
           be perpetrated without help of the Justice of Clergyman."

          cost more than it would to send the hops to market.

                                                         MISCELLANEOUS

              FIRE!  Last Sunday night about 9 o'clock, in the midst of a violent storm of wind
          and rain, fire was discovered bursting from the cooper's shop of Mr. Edwain Fernald,
          on Marina Wharf.  The fire department was soon on the ground, and notwithstanding the
          violence of the wind and the rage of the flames which were fed by a great amount of
          combustible material, succeeded in subduing the fire before it had spread much beyond
          it original limits.  The night was most tempestuous, and the howling of the wind, the
          rattling of the rain, the shouts of anxious men, the cries of affrighted women, and the lurid
         glare of the flames, conspired to render the scene truly terrible.
             The buildings destroyed, together with their contents, were a cooper's shop, and a
          large building used for storage on Main Wharf, owned by Mr. Edwin Fernald, and
          two cooper's shops and a boat building's shop on Stone Wharf, occupied by Messrs.
         Chase & Cushing, James L. Boyd, and Morreel & Dyer.
            A dwelling house at the head of Stone Whaft was also somewhat injured. Nearly
          1000 bushes of corn belonging to Mr. Fernald was destroyed, and he estimated his
          loss at $6000, insured for $5000.
            The loss on buildings owned by Mr. Elias Thomas is said to be about $4000. No
         insurance.
            The work was undoubtedly the  work of an incendairy, whose hellish deed will yet
          meet with its just punishment.

              Mrs. Betsey Merrill of Hebron, committed suicide by cutting her throat on Friday,
          last week.

              A. Mr. Shedd had his trunk broken open one day last week in Lewiston, and $35.00
          stolen therefrom. A fellow boarder, who started for Portland before the loss was discovered
          is supposed have been the theft.

              Lermond & O'Brien's store was burned in Thomaston a week since. Loss $4000;
          insured for $2000.

              The store of Mr. Seth Winship, near the head of India Street, was discovered to be
          on fire Tuesday night last, but the flames were extinguished before having done much
          damage.

              A Miss Goodwin and another young lady while riding down a hill in  Lyman one day
          last week,  were thrown from the carriage and severely injured. The young lady is not
          expected to live.

          several days on the charge of murdering his wife some time since. Quite a number of

          to press.
