SAD ACCIDENTAL day or two before the
steamship Hfbernian arrived at this port on
her last 's,p one OF The passengers, yenug
mau, betw IN % and 81 years of age, thought
he would like to get some hot water to wash
himself He procured pail of boiling water
and was carrying it to his quarters when the
ship rolled pretty heavily owing to the heavy
sea and the water was thrown over him, scald-
ing him about the body and limbs terribly
The officers of the ship, and particularly the
surgeon, DR.. De Wolfe, did everything in their
power for him, and on reaching Portland DR..
Fitch was invited by DR.. De Wolfe to visit the
patient. For several days he was delirious, but
yesterday he was rational and comparatively
free from pain, but these were symptoms of
modification and the physicians asked him if
he would not like to see minister. He said
he would, and, being Baptist, the Rev. DR..
Smaller was invited to go and visit him. He
was very much pleased with the young man,
who was evidently true Christian from his
conversation. The Doctor prayed with him
and left, promising to see him again. 1t is a
very sad case from what we can learn, as the
poor fellow has only been married about six
months and left his young wife in London,
where he resides, to go to Toronto, Canada, to
secure the position of an engineer. The
physicians are of the opinion he would not
live more than tweuty-four hours.

A large number of bills and resolves were

long discussion. In the debate concerning the
recot sideration of the Fort Fairfield High
School, granting aid thereto, Mr.. Baker said
he would establish a principle to grant aid to
any high school that would devote sum of
money equal to that asked of the State. Mr..
Baker supported the proposition in his usually
able manner. Mr.. Stone of Kennebunk op-
posed it in logical and forcible speech, which
the House seemed to endorse by refusing to
reconsider its refusal to pass the resolve BY
a vote of yeas 40 to As nays.
