THE UNION &c J0URNAL,
Death of Hon. Luther ssuborn.

We were panied to receive the intelligence
of the death Of Hon. Luther Sanborn. He
died at his residence in Parsonsteld, at 4
o'clock on Thursday morning, April 9th,
aged GO years. supposed Of an affection Of
the heart. Mr.. Sanborn at the time Of his
death was one Of the Senator'S from this
county, to which position he was elected two
years ago. In the discharge Of his official
duties he won tie esteem of all his associates
without respect to parties, as man of ster-
ling integrity and uprightness, and high
minded and conscientious legislator. Nor
were these traits Of his official character more
conspicuous in the Senate, than 10 his priv.
ate life. He was man universally b. loved
and trusted by his neighbors and those who
knew him best Asan Illustration Of this, we
may cite the fact, that his advice and coun.
lei were more sought and relied upon by
those who were interested in unsettled estates,
than almost all Others in his section OF the
county. A leading member Of the York
County Bar, adverse to him in politics, once
paid him the well deserved compliment to
SAY. 81 rather meet any other person before
Probate Judge, than Luther Sanborn, for
the Judge always knows that what Luther
Sanborn says Is true"
Our acquaintance with Mr.. S. was slight.
but enough for us to admire him as q man of
strong character, and worthy in every respect
of the trust which was 50 conidingly put in
him. BY his death the country loses an I'M
wavering patriot, and the State a most hon.
orable citizen.

crowd, which was attempting to rush up stairs.
Finally the Mayor came out upon the awning

with an American flag In his hand.
The crowd refused to hear him ut first, hut
finally the Mayor secured for him hearing,
when Mr.. Wright denied that he had made the
statement attributed to him. This did not sat

that Mr.. Wright said to him when informed OF
the Presidents death, "WhO's fool enough Ia

Mr.. Wright half an honr to leave the city. and
ere that time he was on his way to tho New
