Prof BENJAMIN Silliman.

The death of this venerable apostle of SCI
ence, at New Haven on Thanksgiving morn
ing, has been announced by telegraph. He
was born in North Stratford, Conn.,, Aug. IS,
ITO, of Revolutionary stock, his father being
brigadier general in the army then contend
ing for American independence. He gradu-
ated at Yale in 17oS, and was the next year
appointed tutor in the same college. AL
though he studied law and was admitted to
the bar in 1902, he never practised the legal
profession, but continued to hold his position
as tutor and to devote himself to the cause OF
natural science. When chemistry was intro
duced into the regular college course at Yale,
he was appointed professor, which place he
has filed until q few years since, when the
inHrmities of age admonished him to resign.
After travelling in Europe for scientific pur-
poses, Prof. SilIiman, in 1907, began his lee
lures on chemistry, mineralogy and geology
to the students Of Yale College, which contin-
ued without interruption until 1855 During
this long period his pen was ever active. He
published several books on the specialties of
his study, and for long years edited Sill
mans Journal of Science. He revisited Eu-
rope in 1851. He was, probably, at the head of
chemical science in this eountry-perhaps in
the world. But, like Ceaveland, he has pass
ed away, leaving the odor of q good name anG
the sanctity of pure character behind,
revered by the generation Of men who believe
that knowledge hath power to lift the weight
of superstition from the world and to snap
asunder the shackles Of mental bondage,

10 the Editor Of the Press:
This is not the "seat of war" nor Of war
like people; but the seat of quiet and peace
iul town, anything of newspaper note rarely
occurring to attract public attention. We
are rejoiced at the prospect of that Portland
skating park. Why should Portland be be-
hind her sister cities in providing for this
most excellent art and amusementP Don't
letit fail. Thanksgiving with Its buildings
and pies, its turkeys and chickens, and its
hearty good cheer, has come and gone.
With all our perils, (the greatest of which
we now feel are over) sufferings and afiic-
tons, we have double reason for thanksgiving
and praise to the Great Banefcent, who over
rules all. Yesterday the Rev. Mr.. Sewall
preached a sermon suited to the times and
occasion, burning with patriotic ardor. 1t
was fully up to the times and worthy the
eloquent speaker. 1t ought to be published
In your columns. There was festival last
night at pixies Peak" in honor OF our recent
victory. After supper, speeches full of the
true spirit were made by several gentlemen
Mine host, "Uncle johnny" Of the Oxford
House, has just retired and given place to Mr..
Horatio Boothby, one of your former mer-
chants. II the "e1cellencies' Of Uncle John
ny's reign are preserved, we viii be resigned
to the loss of some of its "peculiGrities."
The fall term of our school has just closed
with very pleasant and successful exhibit
zion. The speaking of the young men and
the compositions Of the young ladies, were
very creditable to themselves and their in
structors. The school is now under the charge
OF hr. E. F. Ambrose, principal, and Chas. D.
Barrows, assistant. They are both graduates
OF Dartmouth College OF the class OF '64.
They came here with excellent regulations as
teachers, and the past term has fully vindi-
Gated their fame, and places them in the front
rank of teachers. We have no doubt that
the school under their administration has q
future of success before it. The winter term
commences Wednesday, Dec. 7th, and we
learn taat there is gOod prospscs fora large
school.
May the shadow of this venerable institu-
ton never grow less. PEQUAKET.

OXFORD CENTRAL RAILROAD. This road
-Buckheld Branch, 50 called-is represented
to be in healthy condition. 1t has been inn
proved and its stock enlarged under its pres
emit managers. Says the Paris Democrat:
In October, 1868, Mr.. Albert S. Adams,
formerly Ia the employ OF the Boston and
Worcester railroad, was appointed Suueriu-
tendent. He at once introduced order and
system, raising the credit OF the road from
contempt TO respectabllity, and It has now
the appearance OF regular and well man
xved corporation. Under his direction. the
asslgnees OF the contract for completing the
road have laid down more than $4,000 sleep
ers, have built and nearly completed the pile
bridge across B0ggernot Pond In Hartford,
have built side track and turn-table at sum
ner. and have purchased aud received twenty
new first class box and platform cars. The
claims for land damage have been extinguish-
ed, and satisfactory arrangements made for
carrying passengers over Che Grand Trunk
railway, the Eastern and Boston q Maine
roads. and also BY steamboat TO Boston, SO as
10 sell through tickets.
A satisfactory contract has also been made
with the Grand Trunk company, for running
their cars 10 Portland. From the time the
new cars were received 10 July list, the earn
ings Of the road averaged $1,000 per month,
with an expenditure Of $500 per month. The
surplus has been applied to the. payment oil
the foatiag debt; and has paid the coupons Of
$4,000 Of the bonds. II Is believed that alter
the first OF October, now past, that the earn
ings will reach $1,000 per month, with an ex
penditure OF $1,000 per month; when il
reaches Hartford, IS 600 per month; and when
opened will reach nett income of $50, 00C
per year, which will pay the coupons and six
per cent, on the whole stock.

The Hernsoaat Raiders.

TORONTO, c. W., Nov. 26.
The application of the St. Adams raiders to
the Canadian Government to despatch mes
senger 30 Richmond 10 obtain evidence alleged
to be material to their defence, has been re-
jected. 1t is understood that the Govern
ment has considered the raiders to be under
going examination upon charges making them
amenable to the extradition treaty. and that
evidence procured at Richmond, while it
might be very material If the rebels were be-
fore United States Courts, is of little conse-
quence at this stage of proceedings.
1t has transpired that cannon and war ma
terial has been transhipped from Sarnia on a
tugboat bound for Lexington, Michigan. 1t
is thought probable that the Georgian took
cannon on board when proceeding in the di-
rection of Collinwood.

forwards a Richmond paper of Thursday, the
oath inst. The Wing has the following on
Sherman's movements: The War Department
last night was without news from any quarter.
It was rumored, however yesterday, that the
Yankees had occupied Miiledgeville, Ga, and
caused the Legislature Of that State to ske-
daddle. 1t was also reported that Sherman's
movement on Macon was feint, and that his
real design was on Augusta.
We give these specuIations for what they
are worth.
The Wing adds editorially that all informa-
ton received shows that Sherman has passed
Macon, and will move toward the Atlantic
coast, without attacking the defences of .Au-
gusta.
The Richmond Enquirer and Dispatch of
the oath admit that Miledgeville has fallen

RAILROAD ACCOMMODATIONS. 1t certainly
seems rather behind the times to have rail
road running from Portland to Augusta, and
no way of getting between these two places
and back the same day. If the managers of
the Portland and Kennebec Railroad wish to
keep the good will of the people along the
route, they will grant them better accumoda-
tions than they now have. The fares along
this road are nearly five cents mile, and it
does seem, with the patronage the road has,
that two trains a day might be afforded. This
is no newspaper talk" but is but slight in
dex of the feeling of our business community,
and we honestly think the railroad folks will
consult their interest by needing it.-6ardiner
