getting up army letters in our own office, has
brief communication signed "Bddeford,"
and purporting to come from Biddeford, but
ear-narks: ave trust our Biddeford friends
will keep us posted, &c. 1t must have been
late in the afternoon when that was written,
or the editor would have made separate par
agraph of this request, and not so distinctly
shown that the whole communication was his
own sickly offspring.
gr In yesterdays Advertiser was a long
and characteristic article from the pen of the
late editor, written but few days before his
death. 1t contains many good things, some
indifferent, and few decidedly Objectionable.
But as the hand that penned and the heart
that inspired them are now cold in the grave,
we are disposed to think only of the good, to
treat indfferently the Indifferent, and to forget
what we cannot approve. In all cases of con-
troversy, as well as in all personal differences,
we would allow death to balance the books,
and to close them against the intrusion of I'M
pleasant memories.
ELIPHALEr CASE, EsQ.-The Advertiser
has an editorial article in relation to this gen
tleman, late editor-in-chief of that paper, whose
sudden death recently took place in Indiana
1t is kind, complimentary and generous trib-
ute to one who possessed marked character
and had many strong points. What is said of
Mr. Cases freedom from malgnity and re-
vengeful spirit is only simple truth, for, though
his pecularites of style and expression at
times might lead a stranger to think he was
vindictive, we are sure that such an unworthy
sentiment was not long allowed to remain,
even fit was allowed to enter his breast. Mr..
Cases wife-one of the most talented and
amiable fwomen--died several wears since.
and was buried at or near her childhood home
in New Hampshire.
