OBITUARY.-Rev John II. Mordough died
at Gorham On Sunday evening, after long
illness from softening of the brain.
He was born at Wakefield, N. H., in 1911.
Having completed his academic studies, he
pursued theological course at Andover Sem
mary. Graduating he taught the academy at
bingham, N. H., and supplied the pulpit at
the same time. He was first settled in the
ministry over the Congregational church in
Saccarappa. Subsequently he was settled at
Amesbury and Hamilton, Mass, and lastly
over the st. Lawrence street church, in this
city, when ill health compelled his resignation
about four years ago. Since that time he has
resided at Cumberland Mills at Minot and
during the past year at Gorham.
Mr.. Mordough possessed decided ability
His sermons were marked by practical sense.
and a clear exhibition of divine truth. Wheth-
er in health or in sickness his life was a grand
illustration of the spirit of his Master. True
to his convictions, he was yet cautious in ut
terance. Of rare integrity, and strictly con-
scientiOus, he secured universal confidence.
He bore his severe and protracted illness with
remarkable patience and calm resignation, and
has passed to the better life.
The funeral will take place at his residence
in GOrham tomorrow afternoon at 2 O'clock.

COME ABoARD.-To relieve as far aH
possible the anxiety OF the Register, we
reproduce elsewhere the full platform
on which our Republican candidates
stand. It Is broad and strong; and n
our Register friend Is at all sincere In
what he has proiessed for six months
past, there Is room enough on 1t for
him and all others like him. The
structure has pretty good supporters;
and you needn't be afraid OF It's giving
way. The fact that President Grant
stands on 1t need be no objection. II
you don't like the smell OF his cigar,
you can get on the ewiudward side. Gen.
Grant examined this platform some
time ago, and gave 1t as his opinion
that It was "about right" Our Repub.
lican friends have abundance Of good
company on this platform. Senator
Carl Schurz, Of Missouri, the dlstIn-
guiShed German orator and friend OF
Liberty, stands on tt He recently
wrote to the editor Of this paper "I
have received your letter and read the
Ohio county Address. It Is In entire
harmony with the spirit and and intent
Of the resolution offered by me In the
Chicago Convention, and unanimously
adopted by that body. I wish you
success" All aboard.
