Reporters.

The report of Coolidge's Trial as published in
the Age and Kennebec Journal, is by VIM. T
Johnson, the publisher of the Age. That published
by the Farmer was reported by Hon. r. Fl. Vose, of
Augusta The report of the Portland Advertiser is
by Henry Carter, Esq, editor of that paper. Our
own is by Henry H. Baker, Esq, of Hallowel-
Mr. Baker takes notes to write out afterwards in
reporting, but writes full report as he goes along,
all fitted for the compositor, and written in very
plain hand. The report of the trial, some days,
covered 70 or 80 pages of manuscript, and yet it
was written much better than common manuscript,
written at leisure.

CONCLUDED TOMORROW. !

Our columns appear clothed in mourning
this day, as tribute of respect to the memory
of FRANCIS WINTER, of this city, lone of
the proprietors of this paper, who departed
this life on Saturday evening last, in the
thirty fourth year of his age. The untimely
end of the deceased forcibly suggests the SOL
emn truth that Sin the midst of life we are in
death" 1t is but few days since that he
was walking erect among us, engaged in his
ordinary avocations, and in the full enjoyment
of bodily and mental health. 1t was only on
Thursday evening last, that the symptoms of
his disease assumed an alarming aspect, but
the few hours that have rolled away since
then have suficed to loose the silver cord of
life, and summon him hence from the theatre
of an honorable and useful career. His star,
radiant and glowing with bright promise, has
paled its fires before an memorable decree, and
all its brightness is clouded over by the shad-
ows of death.
Mr.. Winter was a native of the State of
Maine, but has been during the last thirteen
years resident of this city, where his correct
department and great capacity for business
have secured to him situations OF high trust,
and friends who knew how to- place value on
his worth. With delicate physical organi-
cation, he possessed soul, calm self-relyins
and we'll baan ed. He was generous and
sincere friend, tithout affectation or preten-
sion. kind. in, ulgent and attached husband
and father. and m useful member of that So
c;e,v in which lot was cast. He has left a
wi and two children to de-
,,lora his unt;m, death.-SarQnaqh Repab.

Mr.. Astor's Will.

Curiosity is not idle in respect to the disposition
of the vast property of Mr.. John j. Astor. The
Journal of Commerce has had peep at the will
learn that the testator has provided amply for all
his relations, and made his son w. B. Aston, resi-
duary legatee. One good thing Mr.. Aston has done
which he might have done in his life time-but he
would have lost the interest of the money in that
case. Posthumous charity demands self.sacr-
fee He has given 100000 dollars for establish

The Bonaparte Family.

The only surviving brother of the late Emperor
Napoleon, Jerome, is, VIC believe, now in France,
having asked leave of Louis Philippe some time
since to reside in the kingdom. He will be remem-
bered as having married Miss Patterson, of Balti-
more, about 1906 and by that lady he left son,
now, we believe, living in Maryland. Jerome re-
pudated his wife, by direction of his brother, the
Emperor, and afterwards married German Prin-
cess. He was for some time King of Westphalia.
Louis Napoleon, son of the late King of Hol-
land, Louis Bonaparte and of Hortense, daughter
of Josephine lately escaped froma prison france,
and has now returned there from England, on hear
ing of the revolution. He is, we believe, over 40
years of age. In 1887 he visited the United States,
and spent some days in New York
