•ATLY PRESS. POItTLAND. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1«71. Slate Aid lo 1 ;OUtt* School*. E:rnwhere will be found two articles on the subject ol State aid to denominational schools. On,- is horn Rev. E. A. Helmershausen, a dis. tieetnslied member of the Methodist deuom ina1 ion, and the other is ar.onymous. There hi, omitted from Mr. Helmershausen’s note certain personal allusions which would un questionably be as obscure to the public as they are to us. In other respects both letters are ex cellent boih iu spirit and in substance, aud we heartily endorse all that is said by either. It is fortunate that criticism of the proceed ing of the Convention lately lipid in this city has elicited from influential members of ore ot our largest and most powerful religious bodies the expression of opinions so sound ami healthful. Substantially the position of b ilh Mr. Helmershausen and the anonymous Correspondent is this: “If aid is to be given to schools established by religious bodies, the Methodist institutions are entitled to the same consideration as the rest; but the Meth odists will gladly give their assent to tire doc trine that the practice of subsidizing de. nominal ioual schools should be at once and forever abandoned.” This is precisely the theory always held in these columns. Last winter the Legislature of Maine clearly indicated byr its action that It regarded as inexpedient the granting ol further aid to academies, seminaries or other educational lustiiutions except the public schools. Tne Convention of which Mr. Hel ni-rsl,arisen was a member seemed to ignore that historical tact, aud to shape its action ou the false hypothesis that the State was to go ou giving a little to a Universalist school here, a Moibodist school there, and to a Congrega tio'aaiist school yonder on the ground that the two rival sects had been provided for. It was for this caupe alone that we entered our pro test. The time for encouraging the rivalry ot religious denominations in the education oi youth is past, and the time has come when the St tie should put forth all its energies in strengthening, enlaigiug and bringing within the reach of all uniustrueted persons of whatever age its main pillar, its great protec tion from all dangers, its main stay—the com mon school system. We h ,ve hum time to time protested with all viatw fra Am.lH nnmmnrwl .jAroirtcf lira tvronf. ing ol special privileges to Catholic schools. Now whatevei maybe our prejudices in favor ol Protestantism, those prejudices were not the inspiration of our protest. As a political pa per the Pbkss can take no note of denomi national differences. In opposing State aid to denominational schools it does so on stricily political grounds. It believes most profoundly that secular instruction is the function of civil and not of religions author, ities. In giving effect to any other notion not only if the common school, (he founda tion stone of the Republic weakened, but un profitable rivalries and contentions are the malD lesul'. It is ait absolute impossibility s to apportion the bounty of the State as to content alike die Unitarians and the Bap t sis, the Methodists and the Spiritualists, the the Swedenborgiaus and the Episcopalians) toe Congreaationalists and the Quakers. In deed, if there were not other and more important reasons tor establishing the rule that no State aid shall be given to private schools, the scandal created every year by a religious lobby log roiling and disputing in the State House, and iuciined to “call names,” as we tear one of our correspondents is in his letter, would be sufficient to justify it. “Churches and state” is an idea almost as repugnant to the genius of our institutions as “church and state.” Where the state suo ports schools exclusively ot one denomina tion, as in England, the result is a gigantic Wrong, but the schools are good. Here the State, by the infinite subdivision of its re sources, fails to build up good schools while it does not, after all, escape the imputation of allying itself with religious denominations and discriminating in iavor ot some to the neglect of others. Secretary Derano is lecturing on the Indian Peace Policy of Gen. Grant. JtrEGE Pitman it is said will accept the Homtuation of the Prohibitionists for Govern or of Massachusetts, though his name was used without his consent. The New York Evening Post predicts that an earnest effort will be made at the coming session of Congress to inflate the currency b; the futther issue of greenbacks. Bangor exalts itself greatly in view of its relation to the festivities now progiessing. The Whig says tin t it is “a central emporium on a grand international thorougblare.” And the Whig is right. A Spectator in the court room in New Yotk tne other day carelessly overturned a chair, when Judge Barnard gravely recom mended him to be more carelui, as that chair alone had ahead; cost the city over $400,000. iiu iv-jj tuau utvu nun oicaui ers are now bui.dmg in the United Kingdom. This is a state ot things calculated to appeal strongly to the teehngs ot intelligent Con gres rneD in favor of doing something for our s'nipbuduing and commercial interests. One would tuink that M. Tbiers was in league with those who hope to restore Napo leon and the Empire, and that the part as signed to him was rendering republican gov eminent, ridiculous and contemptible by pas ting cff his disgui id despotism as a genuine democracy. General Butleh would have a fine op portuniiy to air bis immaculate valor if he would dou the arms he wore at Fort Fisher and load his Gloucester constituents to the letcue of the ”E. A. Horton.” Perhaps he might win as many laurels in the sea fight as he did in liis Virginia lend fights, though probably not so many as that antique Butler, Themistocles,did at Salamis. The Boston Post advises against the desperate project of abandoning the Democratic organi sation and supporting a conservative Repub lican lor President. It speaks of the Democ racy as “that noble organization, imbedded in the princip'es and history of the Constitution.” Ceitaiirly,just as the old trilobite or,any other fossil is imbedded in the rock and is no long er of interest to anybody but the paleontolo gist. _ The Argus argues editotily in favor of treating the President respectfuily, and seems to give itself great, credit for magnanimity in not recommending that he be mobbed or assassinated, But the Argus was an original Grant paper, and its moderation is less sur prising than tliat.of the fiery Bangor Democrat Which bespeaks “a clear sky, a bright sky and a balmy atmosphere tor Gen. Grant's recep tion, and goes to press a day earlier than usual in older to give its winters a holiday. Five fishing schooners have been seized by tli* Dominion authorities within a year, and consequently tbe ^Gloucester people are in tensely exasperated, and are understood to have adopted a systematic plan for “cutting oat tbeir vessels. Their anger is nourished by Gen. Butler, who in this way is able to con tinue bis ascendancy over them. Indeed the whole thing looks almost like a device ot But ler's for creating a sensation and making him eelt conspicuous by giving warlike advice'tud promulgating legal opinious. We have seen nothing more characteristic than bis plan of operations with respect to the “Horton.** Tbe General states that it is the duty of tbe United Biaies authorities to board the Horton first if possible, seize her in the name of the United Slates, put au officer on board, and then if tbe British gunboat attempts to retake her, it will be a d*rect insult to the United Slates through her ifficer, wbo will be in command. Tbe rea ■ous for this act are as follows: The Horton. being in American waters, is under tbe jurls lolton ot ilie United States authorities; being Cou r s e! b b? isT und'erstood' by*’a I.’ 86'zur<>’ Of tenure to get tbe Mb f he p' l'P-r piooeediugs to del.ler Vier ol?r her owners. er over 10 Catacazt Again.-It is said that tbe recall oi tee Eussian minister is asked not because of any social squabble but becauseot hu speaking wii u g and aganst tbe treaty ot Washington It is also charged ibat Mr. Catai azy betrayed State Si crets which bad come to him in his ot flcinl capacity, and did all he could to embar rass tbe eflorts lor pea e between Great Brit ain and tbe United States.

To the Editor of the Press Few of your citizens are aware of the extent ot the influence exerted by Maine inen in the political councils aud business circles of this Stale. No other State has furnished half the number ot men of consequence that Maine has. Of the present piominent political men of the State, Maine has contributed her full quota. Tlie Governor—Horace Austin—is from one of the interior counties, and has a brother engaged in business in one of the towns of Franklin. Gov. Austin is a candidate for re election, nominated by acclamation. He is a lswyer by profession, and was taken from the judicial bench to fill the executive chair. His residence is at St. Peter, on the Minnesota River. The Democratic candidate for Governor, is Wintiirop Yeung, Esq., of {St. Anthony, for merly of Calais, in your State. He Is an esti mable gentleman, and a successful business man. The two Representatives in Congress are both from Maine. Hon. Mark H. Dunwell, who represents the first or Southern District, is well known in your city, resided in Buxton before coming to this Stats, was for a while in command of the 5th Maine Regiment, aud subsequently was consul to Vera Cruz. Be fore his election to Congress, Mr. Dunuell had served in the State Legislature, and lor several years was Superintendent of Common Schools, an office analagous to one he held in your State several years before his removal to ihe Northwest. His present residence is Owatonna, about seventy miles from this city on the line of the Milwaukee railroad. The Representative from the Secosd Dis trict, which embraces the northern part of the State, and more than three fourths of the ter ritory, is Hon. John T. Averill, of St. Paul, formerly of VVinihropiu your State. Mr. Averill is a paper manufacturer aud success ful merchant, and stands deservedly high in ihe esteem of his fellow citizens. The present Superintendent of Common Schools—the successor to Mr. Dunuell—is Mr. Wilson of Red Wing, a city on the Missis sippi just above Lake Pepin. He formeily resided in Skowhegan, graduated at one of yonr Maine colleges, and was accustomed tc spend his long vacations in teaching, usually in South Thoinaston aud vicinity. When it is remembered that the German aud Scandinavian elements are both represen ted in the leading offices of the State govern ment, it will be conceded that tor a single Stale, and one so remote a3 yours,Maiue men ex- rt a large influence in the politics of the Gopher State. Jared Benson,collector of Internal Reven ue for more than half the State, is also from Maine, and the Legislative Register will show that the same Stale has contributed a full quota of her sons to make up that department of the State Government. Of the business men of tbe State hailing rrom Maine, I will name a few specimens: Hersjy, Staples, Stickney and Bronson, ol Stillwater, all from Maine, are among the most prominent men of that thriving lumber ing city. The Folsoms of Taylor’s Fall, also from Maine, take lront rank among the suc cessful^ men in the St. Croix valley. Sam Mayall of St. Paul, at one time repre sentative ot a Maiue district in Congress, then a Democrat and now a Free-Trade, Pro hibition Republican, is among the lorcmost men of tbe Saiutly city. He is much more active at present in business than politics, though his name is being used in conuectiou with|a third party nomination for Governor. My iimited acquaintance in St. Paul, does not permit me to mention other representatives of your State in that enterprising city. In St. Anthony, on the right ^bauk of the Mississippi at the Falls of tbe same name, the Maine element is very large. Prominent among this class is Mr. Young, already named, Farnham and Lovejoy, Capt. Rollins, Todd, Chase and many others, all engaged in tbe lumbering or milling business. In this city—directly opposite to St. Antho ny—Maine men take high rank among the business population of the city. Foremost among them is Dorilius Morrison, Esq., who, with his sons, does the heaviest lumbering business at the Falls. Mr. Morrison has twice been elected Mayor of the city. W. D. Washburn, Esq.,—brother to the Collector ot your port—occupies a front rank among suc cessful business men. Mr. Stickney, his part ner, is a son of D. Stickney, Esq., of the Presque Isle Sunrise. R. S. Stevens, with his brother-in-law, Mr. Morse, are heavy wholesale grocers. Mr. Stevens formerly rep resented Oxford county in the Senate of your State. Fletcher, a sort of dry goods king, is irom the Penobscot; so are the Bracketts, one of whom has been styled a “steam engine in boots.” Mr. Fletcher’s partner, Loring, is from Yarmouth. Besides these we have Gib son Tyler, whose woclen blankets have takes first premiums all through the West, the Days, the Joneses, the Fosters, the Wake fields, the Veazies, the Dilliughams, the Co nants, the Longfellows, the Elliots, and a host of others, whose names would fill my sheet, all hailing from the “Dirigo” State, and all engaged in business at this point. xuio veiij bcuuo tu o> uunii’casici iiJUIv JiKC a New England town than any place of its size in the West. The New England element largely predominates among the population of native birth. The customs of the place—out side the foreign population—are those of New England, In this respect it presents a strik ing contrast to St. Paul; a very pleasing con trast to a New England man. Wherever one goes in the State he finds the sons 01 Maine. A few days since I made the very pleasaut acquaintance of one formerly of Norway—W. W. Hobbs, Esq ,—a noble speci men of the “Oxlord Bears.” I had known Mr. H., in a business way, for six months or more, and by mere accident the discovery was mutual that we were both from Maine, and had known each other well—by report—in days of lang syne. Mr. Hobbs is located some seventy-five miles from here, on the big prairie beyond the woods, on the line of the St. Paul and Pacific railroad, settled down, to use bis own expression, “among the unwash ed Swedes;” and he is doing a lucrative busi ness in exchanging merchandise and green backs for country produce. His daughter, he informed me, is the wife of J. M. Adams, Esq., o< the Argus of your city, but I was not long in discovering that Mr. H. has much more sympathy for the good reputation and business prosperity of his son-in-law than for the polit ical dogmas promulgated in his paper. But enough of this gossipy letter. It may or may not be interesting to your readers. This city—the whole State of Minnesota— has suffered a severe loss in the death of one of ils truest friends, within a lew days. On Sunday last was committed to the dust, all that was mortal of Col. Cyrus Aldrich, re cently postmaster of this city, and lor four years during the war a Representative in Con gress—a man who did more for the State, in Congress and out ol Congress, than any other man. To Col. Aldrich, more than to any one else, is due the credit of securing the land Pl'Ullt tn tl)P Vorlhorn Ponifin iu process of construction, and there was no a Minnesota soldier who went to Wasliiugtoi during the late bloody struggle, who did no have reason to thank God that such a mat as Aldiich was there to see that his want! were provided for and the honor of his Stat< protected. Uis big heart has ceased to beat a great soul has gone to the God who gave it. Long in public life, often in situa tions to have amassed wealth if he had been less scrupulous ol his honor, yet he died poor poor in this world’s goods, but rich in the hold he had upon the respect and esteem ol those who knew him. He had few if any en. etnies, and to have become his enemy would have betrayed a spirit not at all enviable. To use the words of a St. Paul paper by no means politically friendly, “even his greatest defects were, near akiu to virtues.” If lie had weak nesses—and who has not?—they were those developed by his great generosity, and remark able social spirit. His funeral on Sabbath last, from the Universalist church, was the largest ever known in the city. As I write tidings of the terrible calamity which has befallen Chicago come to hand, and I have no heatt to say more. The fire fiend in his wrath has seemed to do his worsti and the Queen City of the West has become a desolation. Your people will have a keen appieciation of the terrible calamity, and tbae tarn'r wU1 take Practical form no one familiar with your history can doubt. Observer. Church and Slat* Again. Camden, Oct 14,1871. To the Editor qf the Press: s Iu your issue of the 13th inst. there is a n ed- itorial—“Church and State”—in reference to the Methodist State Convention. The first part is very appreciative. As I read the essay which led to the discussion oi which you com- 1 plaiD, will you allow me a little space to ex plain our position. If the State takes the ground ot no money to any denominational 1 schools, we will give a good, hearty, Methodist 1 amen; but if appropriations are made at all, it 1 should he done impartially and fairly. The idea cf the Methodist church becoming the State church never existed in our wildest dreams. Certainly we have no desire lor it. In England, under the British Lion, the Wes le.vaus came out from the State church, and we shall never return to one uudet the wiugs of the American eagle. We only desire of the State, “and the rest ol mankind,” a fair chauce and no special favors, The essays will be published, and will speak for themselves. Yours truly, E A. Kelmerskausen. Mr. Editor,—Your editorial of the 13th inst., iu leiatiuu to the Methodist Convention, contains some inferences which are hardly ju-t to that body. The essay containing what you deem objec tionable seutiments iu regard to Slate aid to de nominational s bools were the seutiments of the author of the essays. How tar the con vention approved those sentiments, was not determined by vo'e. The time devoted to this discussion was hritf, and but littlj opportunity could be allowed for a full discussion of ttie subject. The subject of education was referred to a committee of three persons from each of the two coufeiences of this State, to report at some time hereafter. Methodists of Maine do not ask Slate pat ronage for their school", on denominational grounds, but simply on the ground of the ser vice they are rendering iu the work of general education; much less do they claim or desire a monopoly ol Siale patron.ge. They however do object to an unjust discrimination against their'interests. Ail they ask is equal justice, in common with all other citizens and religious denominations in the State. Methodist. Oct. 14, 1871. Recent Publications. A very lively,toff hand jovial, book for boys is J. Robinson Warren’s Shooting, Boating and Fishing. The boys will hardly find a more at tractive teacher in the art and mystery of se lecting gunpowder, gun and dogs; of shooting snipe, woodcock, ducks and quail; of boat sail ing, spicing a rope, re.dog, trimming sails and tacking; of fisbing aud all tbe details of tbe piscatorial science.

He records his experiences in a book which he calls At Last: A Christian in the West Indies. It is finely illustiated and is as readable.as any of the author’s novels. Pub lished by.Harper Brothers. The Presidential Partt.—The correspon dent ot the Boston Journal accompanying the Presidential party gives the following descrip tion of the scene in the President’s car. Most people in Maine have not been accustomed to look upon the jovial member from the Fourth District exactly as “a sphinx,” but never mind: A soft perfume fills the charming middle sa lon iu which the President receives, and where, by the way, I believe he has-not been seen with the traditional cigar yet. He is as inscrutable as ever, aud seems to have but little inclination to fall into conversation. Tbe little man with his firm, set jaw aud stern eyes, and in his dress of solemn black, all unbefitting for bo martial aa air, is surrounded by faces and men which bting out his characteristics iu strong relief. Bet us look for a moment at the people in this special car. Poor Mr. President, you are tbe idol ot the moment, but you must obey the bidding of Speaker Blaine, who at this mo ment as I write is in his own district and knows every stone by the wayside. He speaks to Gen. Grant: “Mr. President, you had better stand on tbe platform just here,” and the President wearily obeys. Blaiue, with his intense, prac tical lace and brusque business like air, attracts attention every where, and receives cheers all along the line. There is a galaxy of celebrities seated in the grand saloon ot the special car. There is Gen. Babcock, one of the President’s private Secretaries, a quiet geullemau, with the military Cut of whisser, and a fund of in formation about Washington; there is the stout, full bearded, ripe Secretaiy el War,Gen. Belknap, smoking a fa Gratt; there is Hon. Mr. Peters, the Maine Congressman serene as a sphinx; that tail gentleman with a huge moustache aud nautical air is Admiial Alden, commander of the “Wabash;” that noble look ing gentlemen, with long, silver gray hair aud moustache, is ex-Goveruor Chamberlain, of Maine, and there, seated beside him, in Gen. Horace Porter, another of the President’s sec retaries, jauntily cbattiug; while next him the spiritual face ot SeDa'or Buckingham, of Con necticut, shines likeastar; U. S. Marshal Usb er strides to aud fro iu the carriage, watchful of the President’s comfort; Gen. Rufus Ingalls has fallen as'eep in his chair, and Senator Cat tell, of New Jersey, fresh, aclive and observ ant, is looking out on the Maine plains thro’ which we are so lapidly running. In tbe side saloon Hon. Mr. Robeson, the navy’s efficient Secretary, chats cherrily with the tired Presi dent, and cracks jokes with Gen. Belknap,who is the lile of the occasion. Secretary Robeson is ot the English type of feature, full of good humor, affable and ruuniug over with inform ation. Postmaster General Creswell is seated next, quietly, smoking his eternal cigar. He is an elderly gentleman, quiet and reserved in manner, aud so devoted to his work that his mind is always on it. There is the familiar iace or ur. coring, our aiassacnusetts farmer and politician, with his clear cut, manly, im passive features, redolent of calm. Then there is Hon. John Lynch, of Portlaud, and there is the quiet, fine looking Gov. Petham, of Maine, modest in his corner, and next him Senator Sawyer, of South Carolina. Major Clayton McMicbael, Commander of the third district of Maine duriug the war, is Dhxt. He is now edi tor of the Philadelphia North American, and represents the Quaker city in the party. There is Gen. Thomas VW Hyde, who was with Sher idan in the Shenandoah; Gen. James A. Hall, whose artillery did such execution at Gettya burg; ex-Senator James W. Bradbury, ex Gov. Coburn, A. B. Mullett, Supervising arch itect of the Treasury of Washington, are all seated near by. The British Consul for Port land has joined the party, and polished Sir John Young, l ord Lisgar, of Canada, is sur rounded by his ministers, and busily engaged in conversation. A Convenient Friend.—It is now thought that Barton, the Waierbury, Vt., bank robber, made his escape from the custody of Sheriff' Brown in ieminine disguise. It is stated that a woman came aboard the cars at Essex Junc tion on Tuesday morning. After the train left Montpelier with Barton as a passenger, un haudeufted, she expressed and showed stroDg sympathy with him and was allowed by his keepers to remain iu the saloon, of which he was an occupaut. It is supposed that she changed apparel with him, left the cars at North Hartlauil while Barton proceeded to New York, the unobserved of all observers. Draw Poker on the Bench.—They must be running short of judicial timber in Penn sylvania. The keeper of a gambling hell in Honesville was recently} hauled up before the local court. In the course of the trial some curious (acts were developed. It was ascertain ed that the prosecution had been instigated by one of the side judges ot the court who had lost $1000 mot long before iu the defendant’s place at draw poker, aod that the other side judge had fraudulently tampered with the re cords of the court, and given the defendant a tavern license after the president judge had refused his application. Tho president judge in passing sentence remarked that his associ ates on the bench were greater fcriminals than the prisoner at the bar. We are not surprised to hear that the? sessions of tliatj court have beeu suspended, and there is considerable ex citement iu Honesville. “VW v/mraniAiua r UUH1A.NS TREAT Helpless Men. Further accounts of the killing of Abel Gridley, at Warsaw, Ky., say that Gridley was a man of some property but macb feared. His depredations on the neigh bors became so intolerable that they banded against him and caught him. There were sev eral cases of robbery against him in court and he threatened the lives of the witnesses finally killing Joseph Worth. The party who attack ed the jail numbered 75 or 100 men from the country. They broke into the jail but were unable to break into Gridley’s cage, and shot at him eight times through the bars. His wife and infant were wilh him at the time. He curbed anddetieu his muiderers to the last. Tlie town was picketed and nobody allowed to interfere. The citizens ot Warsaw, a despatch says, deeply regret the occurrence which they were unable to prevent, but the people of the country breathe more freely as no man’s life or property was sale while Gridley was alive he was so lurious at his prosecution for his mis deeds. Some one asked Mrs. Cady Stanton if she thought that the girls possessed the physique necessary for the wear and tear of a college course ot study. Ber reply is both sensible and sarcastic. “I would like to see you,” said Mrs. Stanton, “take thirteen hundred young men, and lace them up, and hang ten to twen ty pounds weight of clothes to their waist perch them upon three-inch heels, cover their heads with ripples, chignons, rats and mice and stick ten thousand hair pins into their scalps; if they can stand all this, they will stand a little Latin and Greek.” Gen.'Gkamt will take up Ins permanent res idence at the White House on his return from Maine. Probably his first duty will be to re ceive the Grand Duke Alexis and offer him an amicable cigar. ii- r[F\m»T»L*r 'I'Crji Items. It is stated that Mr. A. T. Stewart will ten er a grand banquet to tbe Grand Duke Alexis u his arrival, that event being to mark tbe peniug of his new mansion on Fifth avenue he finest private residence in America. A small wooden building in Lowell, oceu lied has a dry house, was burued yesterday. The Supreme Court is now in session at Portsmouth. There are two or three murder ases, and some for manslaughter, and many ither inteiestiug cases which will be brought lefore the grand jury. The case of Benjamin iVoodbury ol Salem, N.

Several liquor cases in the Supreme Court at Concord, N. H,, weut up to the full bench on the refusal ol a witness who bought liquor to testify, in the ground that his evidence would criminate himself, making him au ac complice in the sale. For political reasons, it is thought, the prosecuting officers were not unwilling to have the cases go by. It is rnmored that Judge Ledwith, one of the Committee ol 70, has sold out to Tamma ny, his price being the judgeship of the Su preme Court, but Ledwith says he can’t be bought. The Bowery Savings Bank gave $2000 to tbe Committee, and the tools of Tammany are trying to get np a run on it in conse quence.

Collector Morhhy of New York publisbe8 a card, in which he denies the allegations of fraud and covars the statement of Gen. Dix and H. S. Oleoit. They do not alter the previ ous decision that no Irands were committed. The Collector states that he never gave a dol lar to support Democrats lor office, did not at tend the Philadelphia Couveution, his sen never held an office under Controller Connol ly, that until last July Greeley was associate owner of stocks in Tweed’s tobacco manulac tory, that Murray’s testimony will not be ad mitted in any Court, that Olcott is proven to have received $2000 for securing a cadet ap pointment, and That the charges of lx th the latter are eulirely false. He says he shall not reler to these things ugaiu. The Tribune states that the charges ol fraud against Murphy yet remain unrelated, and they will until he stops writing such foolish cards as this. Mr. J. T. Shores, of Portsmouth, dropped dead yesterday morning. He was cashier of the National Mechanics’ and Traders’ Bank, which position he has held twenty-four years, pre/ious to which he had been connected with banks some fifteen years. He would have been eighty years old in January next. He was writing at his desk when he fell, and in ten minutes dissolution took place; cause, apo piexy. State TNewt*. KENNEBEC COUNTY. Charles Marlin of Augusta, a bright little fellow eight years ol age, who was kicked by a horse seveial days since, died of bis injuries Tuesday morning, says the Journal. Among those wlio have lost heavily, if not all they possessed, at the Chicago fire, may be mentioned Rev. J. W. Hanson, formerly of Augusta, where be was at one time editor and proprietor of the Gospel Runner, who was in the publishing business in Chicago. Our correspondent writes that by tbe fall of a staging at Gen. Smith’s mill at Wnterville, on Friday afternoon, an estimable yoang man named Jerome Simpson was precipitated thir ty feet to the rocky bed of the river below, re ceiving injuries so severe .bat he died in a lew boura. Mr. Simpson was to have been mar ried that evening. PENOBSCOT COUNTY. The Whig says a country man was fleeced out of $50 on the Portland steamer on the trip to Bangor, Tuesday, by a three card monte sharper.
