Death Of HIiss Sophia ID. Cobb.

We clip from the Transcript the following
obituary notice of an accomplished lady, whose
sudden death has occasoned deep regret in
the literary circles of this city:
Readers of the Transcript will learn with
regret of the death of Miss Sophia D. Cobb,
which occurred quite suddenly in this city on
Monday. She was the author of a number of
sketches, stories, and other kindred produc-
tions, several of which have appeared original
~ in these columns, and which were received
with much favor. Her stories were marked
by a certain grace and liveliness of fancy, a
delicate observation of character and skill in
its delineation, and freshness and natural
ness of style at once rare and attractive and
giving promise of the high excellence which
she might hope to attain, when her fine DOW
ers should be fully ripened and developed.
Hero or Mop? "Midsummer-night's Dream"
Number Fifty-seven," and "Mrs. Green's
Lodgers," were among the stories contributed
by her to the Transcript
Personally Miss Cobb was endeared to a
very wide circle. Aninvalid for several wears.
this circumstance had developed in a charac-
ter originally spirited, certain gentle depep-
dence which made her very dear to those who
came in contact with her. Her character, in
deed, was rare union of gentleness with
force, of child-like simplicity with an active
and wide-reaching intelligence, and was uni
ted with person and manners singularly
winning and lovely. She died at an age when
the world OF intellectual interests and activi-
ties was just opening out before her. and its
prizes seemed to hang within her reach She
chung to lite, for she felt its best fruits for her
were yet ungathered its best work yet I'M
done; but she gave it up and went away into
that dim and unknown world which we see
only in the light of faith, with the same sweet
submission and child-like reliance on a Faith
er's love which had sustained her through
years of suffering here.
Miss Cobb was, despite her delicate health,
an industrious and rapid worker; and she has
left her desks crowded with manuscripts
which will undoubtedly be given to the public
at some time.

THE EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN - THE
PORTLAND AND oGDENsBURG-THE PORTLAND
AND ROCHESTER,.
Governor Chamberlain, in his late Message
to the Legislature, wisely associates in i'm
portance the two great railroad enterprises of
the East and of the West-the European and
North American and the Portland and Og-
densburg. They are both important to the devel-
opment and prosperity, not merely of their i'm
mediate localities, but of the whole State. In
connection with existing roads, and with the
projected roads from Bath 10 Rockland, from
Rockland to Bangor, from Belfast to Moose
head Lake, from Newport to Dexter, from
Waterville to Anson, and with the proposed
extension Of the Portland and Rochester road,
they are Indispensable to the contamination
of a system which must be worked in the in
terest of the State of Maine. And trust that
the Legislature will not hesitate to grant to the
European and North American Company the
moderate and reasonable aid which they now
ask. 1t will secure the completion Of this
grand system, and make certain the establish
ment of a State policy in regard to railroads,
which will look to the upbuiding of our towns
and cities rather than to making them mere
sluice ways to other States. These roads will
all meet at Portland. The entire travel of the
State east and north of this city, of the Pro-
vinees of New Brunswick and Nova Scovia, of
the northern part ofNew Hampshire and Yer
mont going south and west, will come to Port
land. The European and North American
from the east, the Rochester extension from
the south, aid the ogdensburg road from the
west, are each the compliments of the others,
and indispensable to their complete success,
and the friends of each should be the friends of
all. Let no rancor or Jealous policy induce
any one who desires the prosperity of our
State or city to array himselfin opposition to
any of these noble enterprises.

fRlaHrFUL ACCIDENT al LOWELL, MASS
An unusual and irightful accident occurred
on the Boston and Lowell Railroad Tuesday
forenoon, near the Lowell station. On the ar
rival of the train from Nashua, shortly after
hali-past nine O'Clock, the locomotive William
Sturgis was detached from the train as usual
and run upon a side track, in the deep cut in
