\ smart rain commenced here on Tuesday
evening, and at the present writing there is
no cessation in the storm. The river is rising
and another freshet may be expected. Every
one seems willing to have it come, resting as
sured that no farther damage can be done.
The kennebcc, which has been exceedingly
incorporate this spring in the use of water, is
again taking good drink preparatory to get
ting "hgh." If it keeps on we are afraid it
will get to be a regular old soakcr. Farmers
and gardeners have been waiting for ''set-
Ting" rain, before commencing springs work
in earnest. They have it now, and after
few days of sunshine, we may expect that
throughout our farming districts there will be
few men at leisure and few drones in the busy
hives.

A Maine genius has patented a singular at
tachment for travelling trunk. He makes
the oak protection bars as to raise on hinges.
A false top falls back against this, which, be-
ing nicely upholstered, makes a substantial
back like chair, and on each side are arms,
which are concealed within the trunk when
closed. This forms a firm seat for two, the
clothing beneath answering for cushion.
at the proper angle, making of the bungling
trunk that is usually in the way comfortable
and good looking rocking chair. The trunk
can be sold as cheap as the old style.

In the genial and earnest way that always COM

upon all questions, but standing closely by
his own convictions of right. These charac-
teristics marked the various departments of his
life-moral, social-for he was even playful
and we remember hearing it said of him once,
on a day he had given to recreation, that he
was one of the few men who could be boy
without forgetting his manhood. His vener-
able years brought few shadows of old age,
but he lived largely in the sunshine he dis
tributed to others. Truly, all will say with
us, one of our best men and leading townsmen
has finished his course

amendment" and came from Washington to
attend the trial. Saw Richardson and Mrs.
Mcfarland together at Mrs. Lincoln's house
during Christmas, 1867, and several times af-
ter often for an honr at a time. Mrs. Nc
Farland would come first and then Richard
son; saw Mrs. Mcfarland kiss Richardson;
saw their arms around each other; was a

Mrs. Ann f. Callahan corroboratcd the pre-
vious witness testimony, adding that Rich

times a day, and Mrs. Mcfarland wore a
heavy diamond ring.
Mr.. Gerry offered the testimony of policy
of life insurance on Richardson's life, taken
by himself, and endorsed in favor of Mrs. ABB
bic s. Mcfarland. The Recorder said he
could not in justice to the memory of Rich
ardson who was dead, and could not defend
himself, allow the testimony of the witnesses
to be taken as conclusive of his guilt, and
therefore he should exclude this life insur-
ance policy as testimony.
Court then adjourned. The defence closes
