Christian fortitude in suffering won hosts of friends who sin cerely lament her departure Mr. Chandler has the sincere sympathy of our whole com munity in this his hour of great bereavement. Mr. C., since coming among us,in April last, has proved himself to be a man of good parts, full of energy, a brilliant writer, successful in the practice of law, a foe to vice, in all its forms, and very desirable citizen. We trust that this great sorrow which has over taken him, will nut drive him thence, but that he will still remain among us and be one of us.—Miss Melinda Whitman, an aged maiden lady, died Sunday night Miss W. was a sister of the late Luther Whitman, and of Ezra \Vrhitman, of Baltimore, Md the latt* r was at her bedside during her last hours and for davsfprevious. Learn ing of her dangerous illness,he left Ra timore and came here to visit.—Thieves again broke into the Winthrop Banner office at East Win throp, Saturday night, and stole about fifty dollars' worth of type.

No doubt It will be All right when one gets used to it. MONMOl'Tfl. Memorial services in respect to Gen. Grant were held at the Methodist church Saturday I’. M. A large concourse of peo ple from the village and surrounding coun try were present which filled the church to overflowing so that settees were placed out side for the accommodation of those who were unable to gain entrance. The church was most beautifully draped with bunting and white and blue, for which much credid is due Mr. J. W. Goding and the ladies of the Relief Corps who assisted him. The alter was draped in black and in the rear was the stars and stripes. Black and white bunting was suspended fr >m the centre of the auditorium, and the walls and the gallery was draped with the American flag. The display ot flowers was fine. At 2 o’clock G. K.

The selection, “And the City hath no need of the Sun.” was rendered by the choir, after which Rev. J. K. Day, I) D., of New York, held the rapt attention of the audience for forty-five minutes, giving some accounts of a personal interview with Gen. Grant. Dr. Dav and Mr. Fox are both natives of Mon mouth. and it was with pride not unmixed with admiration that we listened to their eloquent words. We are only sorry not to have known the art of ste nography that we might report at length. The benediction was pronounced by Rev. R. M. Peacock. The different bodies filed out and the mournful services closed. But the memory of the one in whose honor thev were held, will live in the hearts of the people as long as life shall last.

CcMBEBLAXD. John Mathews, employed at the Portland Stove Foundry, while at work with a circular saw Satnrday morning, had two fingers of his left hand cut off. Will Grlbben, while shackling cars in the Maine Central yard in Portland, Thursday, had a foot badly jammed. At the Westbrook Mills a lot of pulp fell Sa urdav, throwing J.

Graves, a book agent of Litch field, 38 years old. was treated at the Boston City Hospital, Friday evening, for three punctured wounds in the right foot and a broken toe, caused by slipping from a horse car on Broadway, between A and B streets, the car running over the foot. Friday, Mavor Deering, of Portland, re ceived a letter from a lawyer at Annapolis, Md.. asking for information in regard to a Mies Fanny Farragut Gardner, daughter of a lady belonging to a Portland family, whose maiden name was Henrietta Page, stating that property there was awaiting herself or heirs. Upon examination of the indexed marriages, it was ascertained that Henrietta O Page married Lieut. I). G. F. Gardner, in Portland. Jan 6, 1855. Mrs. Gardner, after her husband's death, married Capt. B. F. Willard, and the Miss Fannie Gardner named in the letter ia the wife of Mr C. W. T. Goding. The value of the work in indexing the births, deaths, and marriages, is seen when it is known that 15 minutes gave all the requisite information in the matter. Penobscot. A very sad accident which resulted fatally occurred in Orono Sunday afternoon. Frank Howell, a boy aged about tourteen years, had a loaded revolver in his hands handling it rather carelessly. Suddenly the weapon was discharged and the ball struck him over one of his eyes, penetrated the skull and entered the brain. Strange to say the boy lived fully three hours. He was, however, unconscious all of that time Shortly after ten Sunday evening a police whistle was blown several times very loudly on Kenduskeag Bridge in Bangor and a crowd of men immediately gathered about the spot. The cause of the commotion was the flight of three men who ha 1 stepped in front ot a boarding house on Havmarket Square, where one ot them had struck a man who was seated in front ot the house. They ran up the Square, across Kenduskeag Bridge and down on to the wharves, hut the police succeeded in capturing the worst offender and lodging him in the station house. Waldo. The house of Mrs. Dr. Bean,of Searsmont, occupied bv .1 f\ Oakes was struck bv light ning Friday afternoon, the building being considerably injured, hut the inmates escap ing with a severe shock for the time being. The bolt struck the chimney, knocking the top to pieces, and descended by a rafter into a clothes press, and then went out, like a de cent person, through the front door. The only trouble about this part of the perform ance was that it took a part of the door with it. The damage to the house, besides the chimney, was the splitting of some of the hoards under the eaves, shivering the rafter, and breaking the screen door. Mrs. Oakes who was silting in the parlor was rendered insensible for a few seconds, but soon fully recovered. W A8HINGTON. On Tuesday at Calais, Gordon Moffit’s lit- j tie twelve year old daughter fell off an edging pile, striking a short stick, which penetrated her abdomen, inflicting a serious wound The doctor who attended her says the cut is an ugly one, and that the child’s recovery is doubtful. Friday last, Robert Riley, who was working on Gardiner’s new hotel, Calais, fell from a staging and dislocated his shoulder. Two tendons of his ribs were also fractured. Mr. Rilev, year* ago, fell from a masthead and sustained such terrible injuries that his re covery was regarded as almost miraculous Waldo Cleland, of Mill Cove, Robbinston, a lad of ten years, fell into O b »ru’s mill pond at that place on Friday, and narrowly escaped drowning. Mr .fosiah Osborn went to the rescue, after the boy had disappeared for the last time, and brought him up from the bottom of the pond. He was resuscitated in a tew minutes._ Heart Disease can be cured by the use of Dr. Graves’ Heart Regulator, a certain cure in all its forms, either organic or sympathetic.
