Gen. Pierce at Bowdoin.

Rev. MIR. Drew, of the Gospel Banner, gives
an interesting account of the Commence
ment ceremonies al Brunswick. Among
other incidents narrated, we find the follow
ing:
In the course Of the proceedings, Mr.. Ev.
ans contrived 10 call up Gen. Pierce of New
Hampshire. who set modeslly in the midst
of the Fraternity with his Glass of 1884,
Mr.. Evans proposed sentiment in honor
of New Hampshire, whose sons he said had
conferred honor upon their Alma Mater, up
on their State, and one of whom, there pres
emf, might be called in the providence of
God to confer honor on his whole country
by his elevation 10 the Presidential Office
Gen. Pierce could do no less than 10 arise
and respond to this call He seemed some
what anxious at first, but soon resumed his
self-command and proceeded to make very
chaste and happy speech. He said he had
come to renew the acquainIanceships Of his
early life and 10 enjoy the "reminiscences of
Urner uays. Those brignr, sunny uays VI
hope were happier far than any of the storm
ier ones of liie's strange realities. As he
stood and greeted the Four Hundred Grad.
yates of Bowdoin, then before him, assem-
bled from every field of honor and toll in all
parts Of our great Union, he saw many stars
whose bright light had been acquired at
this fountain of science; but whilst this
greeting gave him pleasure, that pleasure
was mixed with a sadness which was al.
most unutterable, at the remembrance of
those who had gone before us TO the land of
shadows. He had visited the college Genes
terry, and shed his tears al the grave of The
venerable President Appleton This father-ln-
law under whom he was graduated, and
over The lifeless remains of his fellow STU
dents. Our turns must soon come. Who
OF US shall live to see the next Semi Centen-
NAL gathering, none but God could say
Before that day arrives, that whole constel-
lation of Bowdoin stars now before him
will have set below the western horizon or
their light will have been merged in the
glory of brighter day. Other stars shall
arise and occupy our places; but whoever
may stand here fifty years hence, larger as
may be the number, and more learned the
body, he was sure that day could not wit
ness Brotherhood more fervently united in
the bonds of an enduring friendship than

duty or of trial (makDg reference TO the al
fusion of Mr.. Evans of his being a candidate
for the Presidency of the United States) he
might ia the Providence of G cd be called, he
hoped SO to conduct a to bring no discredit
on the Alumni of Bowdon College; on the
contrary, it should ever he one of the high

their Alma Mater of which you, Sir, (Mr.
Evans) have already contributed SO MUCH
His speech was received with much eclat,
and was most heartily cheered by the whole
company.

three wings are elected. In Lincoln four
wings. In Oxford there is no choice of Sena-
ators. No choice in Waldo, probably. In
Penobscot County, two wings elected. One
no choice. In Washington County, two dem
ocratic Senators were elected.
The democrats as far as heard from have
elected 7 Senators, the wings II. The politi-
cal complexion of the Senate cannot be deter
mined at present, with certainty. 1t will
most probably be democratic, as the vacancies
are to be filled on joint ballot; and the Legis-
lature will doubtless contain on joint ballot a
democratic majority.

Srr1L ANOTHER ACCIDENT FROM FILLING
E,u,n LAMPS WHEN LIGHTED. Nolwith-
sanding The numerous instances published
of persons being severely and sometimes
fatally, burned by the explosion of fluid
lamps, in consequence of filling them when
lighted, there are those who persist in this
dangerous practice. The last accident by
this sort OF carelessness occurred in The dress
makers shop of Mrs. Powers, on Leverelt
Street, Saturday evening, which lady, while
in the act of filling fluid lamp already
lighted, was most terribly burned on the arms,
neck, breast, and other parts Of her body, by
the fluid becoming igniied, and setting fire
her clothes. She was kindly provided for
by her neighbors. Boston paper. aiai sae

gus says Capt. Andrew Brown has sent his
friends in Portland box of smoked salmon tax =

quantity of salmon here, he remarks in anote,

Capt. Brown is well known on the Kennebec.
He was formerly one of our best steamboat
Captains. We are glad to learn that he has
been more successful in coming money out
of the salmon business of the Sacramento than
the steamboat business of the Kennebec.

ANOTHER RUM TRAGEDY. In the case of
Richard Walkley, of Springfield, found guilty
of the murder of his father, Judge Dewey in
proceeding to pronounce sentence, remarked
as follows =
"To the charge of parricide, the only de-
fence left to your counsel to urge in your be-
half was the sad and humiliating one that by a
long course of indulgence in the excessive use
of intoxicating drinks, you had fallen a victim
TO that disease called deleriuns tren,e,ss, dis
ease which for the time destroys all moral re-
sponsibility. inasmuch as the subjec: has no
will, no sufficient intelligence. no mental pow
er to enable him to distinguish between right
and wrong. in regard to the act about to be
done. or ability to restrain himself from acts
of violence to others. The defence, although
it failed to secure your acquittal, for want of
adequate proof of its existence at the time the
homicide was committed. yet tells US the sad
tale of your vicious indulgence"
1t would seem from this remark of Judge
Dewey, that dehrium tremens would have been
sufficient defence, if its existence at the time
of the parricide could have been shown

With Tullie's tongue OH. could I speak
In truth must confess,
My powers then would be too weak,
My mind for to express.
Oh! could L write with Homer's pen.
In golden letters too
Alas, in vain would pretend
To express my love to you.
Your hair so bright in beauty curls,
Around your modest cheeks:
More beautiful than all the pearls
That's gathered from the deeps.
Your dark and sparkling eyes they are,
An index to your heart;
They speak of treasures seated there,
Which never can depart.
Upon your cheeks there dwells blush.
That won my very soul;
They cause my troubled thoughts to hush.
And all my powers control.
Your ruby lips no painters art,
Such beauty can portray;
Your voice the music does impart
The sweetest melody.
The rose, the pink, the lilly too.
Vi beauty all may boast,
But when they are compar'd with Won.
Their beauties are all lost
No flower that blooms was ever known,
In half such beauty dressed;
No object here on earth own,
Does half such charms possess.
4 never can describe your charms,
Neither my love to thee,
Until | fold you in my arms,
Then happy viii be.
