Mr.. EDIToR:-It appears from a communica-
ton in yesterdays Press, that the letter carriers
OF Portland neglect to use the means provided
by the Governments for the safe conveyance of
letters from the boxes to the Office because they
know from experience" that it is safer to car
ry the letters in their hands. 1t is strange that
in Philadelphia and other large cities, carriers
are required to use the satchel, the Postmasters
of those cities believing that the Government
knows quite as much as the letter carriers. The
convenience Of the carrier is not to be consult
ed; the security Of letters is the thing and if
it has been demonstrated here in "the natural
sea port" that letter carriers elsewhere, the De-
partment at Washington, and outsiders, who
have seen letters dropped in the mud, know
nothing in regard to this matter, and that let
tiers are more secure by being carried in the
hand rather than in a satchel, there is nothing
more to say, except that wisdom is given TO
babes and sncklings" in Portland. ~ Al

OCTOBER TERM.-wALTON j, PRESIDING. -l
FRIDAY.-rhe trial in the Collagan will case was
resumed, Mr.. H. P. Deane opened the case for the
contestants and called the first Witness Mr.. Louis
b. Hutchngs, who was proceeding to give his testimo-
ny in relation to subsequent will made by Captain
Collagan, when counsel for appellant objected to any
testimony being received in relation to any will said
to be subsequently made by the testator. Some time
was occupied in arguing the point, when Judge WAL
ton decided to admit the testimony subject to the OBJ
jecons Of plaintiff, as it might have bearing upon
the point whether Capt Colagan destroyed or annu-
ed the will in question. fI5is tl#
The testimony of Mr.. Hutchings was to the effect
that March, 1863 he was at the house of Capt Col
lagan, when the latter took paper out Of his port
folio and declared it to be his last will and testament
and then read it. In that document he made hs wife
execurix, and gave her all the household furniture
and personal property and To have the income daring
her life, of all his other property not otherwise ap
propated to the amount of 800 per year; also the
homestead as long as she lives. To Mrs. Harding he
gave an annuity of per year. He also appropri-
ated $500 for monument be placed upon his lot In
Evergreen Cemetery. se -l

Hall property with request that the City Govern
ment should remodel it and call it Collagan Block
To the Bethel Society he bequeathed $500. Ilr

ings testified that he carried to him Portland Drec-
tory in order that he might obtain the names or some
of the charitable associations of Portland Captain
c. took the book and marked the societies he wished
to gfveto. -F9 ~
Alta third interview witness testified that Captain
c. spoke of the will he had revoked (he one in ques-
toni and said it the only one he had made be-
fore; that 1t was made in Boston, when he was bound
from Boston to Australia.
About one week after, witness Captain Coilagan
again, at his house. He took out the win and read 1t
again. Additions had been made to 1t as follows:

Wood Society $780, Society for the Relief Of Aged
INDECENT Women $500. Female Orphan Asylum $500.
Portland Society of Natural History $500. Portland
Lodge Of Free Masons $1,000.
Subsequently Mrs. ColIagan informed witness that
this will had been executed, and that it was done in
Growers shop, and that she liked the old win better
than the new one for that gave her all the property
while this one gave her but little.
After the death of Captain Collagan witness had
many interviews with Mrs. c., and upon his enquir-
ing Of her at time where the last will was she re-
piled that 1t was lost I'm tho portfolio with other pa

CARELEssNEss.-Aln,ost Fyre.-Thursday
evening the occupant of house on Pleasant
street went to his barn with lighted lamp and
sat it down on the floor close to the side of the
building. After completing his work he left
the barn but forgot to take the lamp with him.
Shortly afterwards some persons on Danforth
street discovered that the barn was on fire.
They rushed in and extinguished the flames
with buckets of water, without creating an
alarm. The lamp had been placed in such close
proximity to the wall of the barn that the
boards caught fire from the faring of the light
occasioned by the wind. 1t was fortunate that
it was discovered in such season, for there is a
nest Of wooden dwelling houses close as they
can be built, surrounding that barn. The care
lessness Of leaving an uncovered light in such
a situation is inexcusable. I..d5 feh b-i
