OBITUARY.

Hon. JOSEPH EsTABRooK died at his resi-
dence in Royalston, on the 9TH instant, aged So.
Mr.. Estabrook, during the recent session ofthe
Legislature, was one of the Committee on
Towns. The duties of this Committee were
unusually arduous, holding their sessions in one
of the lobies of the State House till late hour
in the evening. Here Mr.. E. was exposed, and
took violent cold, which settled on his lungs,
from which he never recovered. He was re-
moved from Boston to NRoyalston on the Cd
inst. He met his family most affectionately,
and with all the calmness with which Christ
ian can contemplate death. he observed TO
them" have come home to die with you"
From that hour he failed rapidly. When the
nearest ties Of friendship were dissolving-when
called to feel the icy arms of death
"Calm was his exit
Night dcws fall not more gently to the ground,
Nor weary, worn out winds expire so soft"
It was the glorious hope of blessed immor-
taIity which thus preserved his mind calm and
tranquil. "Tne end of the good man is peace. "
His family and friends mourn an irre2arable
loss. The public feels that an honest, high
minded, and benevolent citizen, is cut off in the
midst of his usefulness. But all who knew him
intimately, have the sweet consolation, that he
sleeps where the weary are at rest"
"Nor genial sun, nor blooming flower,
Nor summers breeze, shall charm him more !;
Yet shall that breeze, as Ger his grave
It softly sweeps at dewy eve,
Still watt affections deepest sigh;
Still shall memory linger nigh
And weep, for ever weep, the sever'd tie.

Mr.. Editor,-I was much gratifed at seeing
the above nomination in your last paper. 1t is
truly strong ticket, one that will do honor to
the county, and such an one as we do not often
have. From every quarter, heal but one
opinion of it expressed-that it ought to be,
and will be, elected. | am heartily rejoiced to
see disposition manifested, among the people.
to put their best and ablest men in such situa-
tions, without regard to any minor considera-
tions. The pitifu attempt to crowd Col Lin
coin out, to crafty personal ma!ignity, won't
do. BOB SHORT.

MoRsIsG MAIL. The Post Master General
has taciee ordered morning mail to be made
up in Boston, at one o'clock, for this town /;
and yet, the order is entirely neglected. The
Boston papers inform us that the mail is closed,
and taken from the Office, at o'clock in the
evening, although it does not leave the town
till eight hours afterwards. In consequence of
this, the objects contemplated, in having a
morning mail, are entirely defeated; and the
letters and papers, which should be received
here at O'Clock in the morning, can never be
obtained till between and in the evening,
and frequently not till o'clock the next morn
ing. When the new Poet Master General
comes into Office, we trust this evil, as well as
many others, now complained of IN the Boston
office, will be corrected.

COMMUNICATIONS.

A meeting of delegates from large number
of the towns Of Worcester North District, Only
notified in the public papers. held at Westmin-
ster. on the 18th instant. for the selection of
suitable candidates for the office of Senator's
! to supply the places Of The Hon. Joseph Esfa-
brook, deceased. and the Hon. Edmund Cush-
ing. resigned. was called to order by Joel Cros-
nv. ESQ. of Leominster. and Col. JONAS LANE of
Lancaster, was chosen Chairman, and CHARLES
". Wilder, Esq. of Leominister, was appoint
ed Secretary:
On motion of s. Sanderson, Esq, of West
minister, voted. to choose committee consist
ing of one from each town in the District to re-
port the names of two candidates.
| A committee was accordingly chosen, who
unanimously reported the names of
DAVID WILDER Esq. Of T.eominster. and
LOWELL WALKER, Esq, of Templeton,
as suitable candidates to he recommended to
the electors of Worcester County. This report
was unanimously accepted BY the meeting.
The delegates from the several towns here
assembled. aware Of the usual courtesy between
different sections of the county, thought it not
assuming too much to select the candidates
from the Moth Congressional District, as they
are suddenly and unexpectedly deprived Of the
services of the late Senators from this section
of the county. They present the names of the
confidence that their age, legislative experience.
and integrity, will secure for them generous
and cordial support from the electors of the
whole County.
Voted, That the proceedings Of this Conven-
tion he signed by the Chairman and Secretary.
and published in all the newspapers printed in
the County. JONAS LANE, Chairman.
CHARLES w. WILDER, Secretary.
Mr.. Editorials the day is approaching for
electing Senators to the State Legislature, it
becomes the good people of this County to
make such selection of men as will reflect
honor on the County, and that branch of gov
eminent to which those elected will belong.
Agreeably to custom, no doubt good and able
men have been nominated, but we are persuad-
ed the SURFACES of the people will be given to
an individual in the South District, not includ-
ed in that list. 1t is hardly necessary TO say.
that Individual is the Hon. BENJAMIN AID.
ANS of Uxbridge, a worthy old member of the
House of Representatives Of the United States
To the gentleman in his vicinity, already nam
ed as a candidate, we make no objection, but
such as offers itself on compaI ison of the two
gentlemen beforeu u.s. Mr.. Hastings is young, and
without much experience; Mr.. Adams, on the
other hand unites age to much service in the
business of Legislation. These reasons convince
us that Mr.. Adams is the man, and will receive
the sufffages of the people for Senator.

FIRES. On Monday evening the 9TH instant,
the store belonging to the Tufts Manufacturing
Company in Dudley, and occupied by Freder-
ick GOodell, was burnt. The goods were most
ly saved. The origin of the FIRE is unknown !;
it was first discovered in the second story, when
it had made such progress as to make any at
tempts to arrest it useless. The store was
fully insured in New York.
In lancaster, on Saturday morning last,
about 8 o'clock, shop occupied by saddle
and harness maker, with a shed adjoining be-
longing to George g. Stlman Fitch, we're con-
sumed by fire. 1t was first discovered in the
chamber of the shop. The manner in which
it took is not known. Loss estimated at $500.
1t was insured by the Springfield Company for
5000.
A house, owned by Mir Aaron Grant, jr.,

PAUPER Law. An act relative to the sup.
port of paupers was passed at the recent session

the same authority which overseers of work
houses have over the inmates of such institu.

cutlery against the appointment OF Ruius King,
because he was a federalist, and have advocat-
ed the Generals election on the ground that
he was the ezciusiUe democratic candidate, and
would be governed, in making his appointments,
by the old party distinctions. The New York
Evening Post, strong Jackson paper, says
that Judge Berrien, the new Attorney General,
is decided federalist Of the Hamilton school.
The new Secretary of the Navy is of the same
character. The new Collectors of Providence
and New Bedford always were decided federal
lists of the straitest sect, and, to make way for
them, old uniform democrats of the Jefferson
school have been removed. The fact is, Gen.
Jackson has sense enough to know that it is
idle to attempt to perpetuate those distinctions.
He recognizes but two parties, his supporters
and his opponents, and has adopted the princi-
pie |" to reward his friends and punish his enc
miles," and means TO adhere to il, without ref
erence TO former names or distinctions.
LIBERALITY. In consequence of complaints
Of the insufficiency of the present mode of noti-
flying town meetings. in this town, it was voted
at the adjournment of the annual March meet
ing. on Monday last, to publish the warrants in
the several newspapers of the town, provided
they would do it for ONE DOLLAR, each.
and, if any of them would not do it for that
sum, that they should be published in such of
the papers as would. That the extent Of this
h6erGity may be fully realized, we would state
that individuals would be charged, and required
to pay, for notices of the same length that :hese
average, not less than .foe dollars The valu
alton of the town is about three millions of dol
lars, and the taxes annually assessed about fif:
teen Thousand dollars, So that the sum proposed
to be given is equivalent to the three thousandth
part of mill on the dollar of the valuation
and the fifteenth Of mill on the dollar Of the
taxes assessed. We shall now have an oppor-
tnnity to see whether any of the printers have
so little self-respect, and pnt so low an estimate
on the value of their columns, as to accept the
conditions thus dictated to them. For our part,
we are poor enough, but are not so poor, either
IN spirit or purse as to accept of such pit
lance, as compensation. IF the town of Wor-
cester is unable to pay Cor its notices, we can
publish them for nothing, and t0outd do it, soon
er than impose upon our patrons by filing our
columns with matter entirely uninteresting to a
great portion of them, and doing it for a wealthy
corporation for fifth part of what would be
exacted from a poor individual for the same
service.

MAINE GOVERNOR A convention of mem
hers of the Legislature of Maine nominated
Governor Enoch Lincoln for reelection. To
committee of the convention, who informed
him of his nomination, he returned the follow
ing letter, declining re election:
PORTLAND, February 9th, 1929
Gentlemen IL acknowledge with the most
respectful sentiments your invitation to me to
be candidate for the office of Governor.
Nominated in accordance with your wishes and
those of the estimable persons you represent, it
is painful to me to decline. Having served,
however, for several years in that office, 1t
seems to me that may now be permitted to
receive discharge, which will presume to
believe must he an honorable one.
In retiring, cherish the hope that amidst
the pursuits of agriculture, from education dear
to me, | NAV be useful to my fellow citizens.
In their character take pride, for their conf
dence am grateful and to their welfare my
heartfelt anxiety will always be directed.
Through you | submit to their Judgment
whether the administration of the government,
as far as have had any influence. has not been
virtunus and democractc.
have the honor TO be, Gentlemen, &c.
ENOCH LINCOLN
The convention then resolved that it was in
expedient to make another nomination, but
recommended that State convention be called
for that purpose, to assemble at Augusta in
June next.
Subsequently,, majority of the members o.
the Leg stature met in convention, and nomn
| ated Hon. Jonathan G.. Huntoon of Readfeld
as candidate for the Gubernatorial chair, tt
be supported at the next election.

A dreadful accident occurred a, New Mar
ket, Dorchester county, in Maryland, on the
night of the 25th ullimo. From paragraph
in the Cambridge Chronicle, it appears that
some persons were amusing themselves with
exploding crackers, when one Of them fell into
a key Of powder in the store Of Mr.. Charles
Smith, Jr. The house was instantaneously
blown 10 atoms. TWO persons were killed, land
one so much injured that his life is despaired
of. There were bu, four persons in the house,
a, the time Of the explosion, one oil whom, the
owner, escaped unhurt.
