The Robinson Building

The Robinson building, on the corner of
Congress aud Center streets, has recently been
enlarged, remodeled and made over anew
IL Is twenty feet on Congress street and sixty
on Center street; three stories high in front,
on Congress street, and four stories on Cen
ter street. |: is finished inside and out In
very neat and substantial manner.
A large portion Of the building has been
leased by Mr.. A. NJ. Mckinney, Photograph
list, under whose direction 1t had been finished
with special reference to his business, and ex-
perienced persons In that business, from the
larger cities, say there Is no establishment of
the kind In New England that viii compare
with 1t for beauty Of finish and convenience
OF arrangement.
The first floor Is TO be occupied as a recep-
tion room and for the sale of engrayings and
picture frames, of which be has large aud
spendd assortment. On the second floor is
apicture gallery, rooms for finishing pictures
and private apartments. On the third floor
Is the operating room, nearly the entire roof
being OF glass. No labor has been spared to
have this room so arranged as to combine
beauty with utility, and every advantage has
been sought after that long experience could
suggest.
Other rooms are occupied for gliding frames
and printing and finishing pictures, all of
which are well adapted to the particular work
for which they are designed We have no
doubt The reputation tina; Mr.. Mckinney has
earned, as Photographic, during the ten or
twelve years be has been In this city, will be
fully sustained by the increased facilities a.
forded at his new place Of business. The

Deaths by Drowning.
BRIDeroN, Sept. II. 1s6!

bRIDGroS, Sept. II, 1864
To The Editor of the Portland Press:
Died in Denmark, on the 18Th inst, Mrs.
Abby Quincy Adams, wife OF Mr.. Gibson Ad-
ans, of that town, in the 3oth year Of her age.
Also, Henry and Frank their children, aged
respectively 8, and 1-2 years.
The circumstances connected with these
three deaths render them peculiarly Affective
to the bereaved husband and father, and other
near and dear friends. The writer has been
desired TO give brief statement of the cir
cumstances for the public eye, through the me-
dun Of your papers.
Mrs. Adams had occasionally been subject
to dts of mental arrangement, In one of which.
some three years ago, she sought TO take her
own life and the lives of her three children.
Before she had fally effected her purpose, she
was discovered and rescued. She drowned one.
little boy years old. After this, she recoy-
ered her reason and retained II, 10 all human
appearance, up to q few days since, when she
began 10 show sofns marks of insanity.
On Tuesday last she appeared to be perfect
ly sane, SO that her husband, without the least
Suspicion that she contemplated mischief eth
er TO herself or others, left her alone for few
hours with the children. On returning to his
hone he found, to his grief and aGnazement,
that she had drowned herself In the pond and
two OF his three little boys. The third, child
Of years, perceiving his mothers intentions,
sprang from her and effected his escape.
All this happened about noon, when the
neighbors were supposed TO be, and probably
were, at dinner. One man on the opposite side
OF the pond, heard the cutlery of the children,
and fastened to learn the cause. But he was
too late. The children were under water. and
tue mother on hearing him call upon her to
desist, hastily plunged in after them.
The event calls loudly for pity to the afIllct-
ed, which was the subject of the discourse at
the funeral. I'm
