AT Falmouth, Mrs. Mary YoRK, wife OF Capt.
William York, aged 40. She has left husband,
children, parents, sisters and acquaintance to 60
mourning about the streets.-Durng most Of the
winter, she had a painful confinement, but tow
ards spring was thought, by her friends and ply
sicisns 10 be convalescent. On sudden her
disease returned, and terpinated life uncon-
monty useful.-To her husband, her death was
surprising. On his return from long and tedious
voyage at sea- instead Of meeting her in her usual
sprghtliness, he saw her lifeless corpse instead
OF claiming her any more for his own, be found
Der captive TO the king Of terrors. No wonder
such reverse Of circumstances should have
made him exclaim with Job" Have pity upon
me, have pity upon me, D. ye my friends, for
the hand OF God hath touched me-"
Some years ago, Mrs. York professed TO expo
rience the converting work Of the Divine Spirit
on her heart, and had strong desires to make
public profession Of her faith in Christ; but
through fears Of mistake, she delayed that duty.
She was often heard 70 bewail her neslect--We
trust il was from Heart sayingly impressed that
her deeds Of beaevolence flowed, which adorn-
ed her life She was the advocate of peace; tar
from being loud and clamorous. She moved on
with that kind of silence, which IS so ornamental
TO her sex. She was friend to the needy, KIND
IN promoting pious and charitable purposes, she
in society was benign-it was salutary. tree
Of goodIy stature affords shade and protection TO
the forest; of such use was Mrs. York to So
ciety.--But Christ had no more work for her on
earth. lie called she obeyed the summons,
and is gone. Adieu.
Also, on the 18th ult at Falmouth Miss Ma
tilda Merrill, daughter Of Robert A. Merrill, 10
the 18th year of her age; most amiable and
promising youth.
Fresh IN the morn, the summer rose
Hangs whitening ere tits noon:
We scarce enjoy the balmy gift,
But mourn the pleasure gone.
Such are the charms that flush and check,
And sparkle in the eye:
So from the lovely, finished form,
The transient graces fly.

rift, Mr.. Samuel Merritt, of Harpswell, aged % /;

We have uhdertak ken h assume the above
name as one peculiarly suited 70 the Canal
which we hope ere long 10 see undertaken IL
this vicinity. a.i
The Seosgo is the largest pond through
which the projected Canal will pass; il IS IN
abe form Of Il, and IFS extent is 10 by IL
miles its distance from Portland is miles,
and together with other ponds "a The vicinity
through which The Canal i'll pass, is surrooD
ded with some fine land, and a iargs quantity
Of wood and timber, now OF comparatively
small value.
The low price Of their articles, arises from
the difficulty and expenee of getting them 10
market, but cvuld this objection be obvated
BY water communication with this towA. the
value Of these products would be enhanced !,
from two 10 FIVE fold Thi, is not mere asser-
tioH, it is supported by the experience OF 9th
er States, as we shall presently show, and we
urge the subject upon the public mind, because
we are thoroughly convinced its great prac-
tica Importance 10 The wealth and prosperity
of Me state, and az agricultural and CONNER
eial point of view, and particularly OF that
portion of IL, to which this inland navigation
may be carried.
Before the Middlesex Canal was construct
ed, The standing timber 10 that part Of the state
OF New Hampshire through which that Canal
flows, was of little or no value, and now il i
worth from one to three dollars ton /: and ii
is estimated that in the article OF timber alone,
that State has been benefited TO the amount OF
at least S5,OOO,OOO. The woodland also,
has risen in price since the opening Of The Ca
nal, from two dollars, 10 six, eight, and even
ten dollars per acre.
May We not make this experience proita-
bic 10 ourselves !
He is said to benefit mankind, who makes two
blades Of grass grow where but one grew be-
fore have not our eDterprising citizens by
this project an opportunity OF becoming the
,beneiaclors of the State, within the scope OF
this maxim
We hope some person, scquainsed with the
subjec, will present TO the public an estimate
OF the probable expence Of this work, the ma
ture OF the land through which il viii pass
and the particular benefit which may be ex-
pected to result fron it. While the other
States Of the Union are putting forth their en-
ergy and their enterprise in schemes OF inter
nal improvement, and Of public as we'll as N
divdual profit, il i. to be wished that Maine.
which j. the 9th State in The Union in point
of population, should preserve its place IN pub
Tic enterprise that some OF the capital, which
il is now so difficult TO employ with profit, IN
the channels in which it has ordinarily flowed.

SO many advantages
