Portland will hear with deep regret of the
illness of Hon. William Willis. For the past
year Mr.. Willis has been in very feeble health,
the result of age and chronic heart trouble;
AMI only a few months ago was confined to the
house by very severe attack of the disease TO
which he is subject; but he possesses such an
amount of vitality that he rallied from his last
attack, and, until within the last few days, has
sec med to be as we'll as usual. On Friday last
he felt considerably Frustrated, but considered
himself we'll enough to prepare the sketch Of
Miss Betsey Thomas, which appeared in our
impression of Tuesday morning. So consclen-
tiousy did he apply himself to the task, that
on Monday when he attempted to read the
proof of that article he gasped so violently, and
it seemed to cost him such an effort, that his
physician, DR.. Gilman, urged him to forbear
He however insisted upon the revision, and at
the close, after writing the lines, My decliE-
ing health and strength admonish me that
must write no more" the pen fell from his
nerEeless fingers and he sank back completely
exhausted.
On Tuesday he was cry feeble, but insisted
on writing and preparing some articles for the
Historical Society. About four o'clock in the
afternoon he became unconscious and remain
ed in that state until three o clock on Wednes-
day morning. At that hour he rallied little
and during yesterday laid perfectly quiet on a
bed that had been brought down and placed il
his study, seeming to recognize one or two o
his friends who were permitted to see him, bu
unable to speak. 1t is posi- BILE that such is the
natural vigor of his constitution that he may
again rally; and we sincerely trust that such
will be the case. We cannot bring ourselves
to believe that we shall never again see oul
friend in his accustomed haunts, OF that the
graceful pen Of the Portland historian is laid
aside forever.

and manufacture of iron and steel in all its
branches and all articles made therefrom, es-
peciaI1y heavy railroad, steamer and manufac

TIE FIRE IN KNlGHTvILLE.-The fire in
Kuightville, mentioned in yesterday morn
ine's PRESS, was, as we there stated, the
house of Mr.. Alvin Dyer. The fire probably
caught from defect in the chimney, and the
first intimation was received on opening the
door leading from the sitting room to the
kitchen, when the latter room was discovered
full ofsmoke The flames had made so much
progress, that it was found impossible to go up
stairs, and everything in the chambers was
consumed. But little was saved from any
portion of the house. Mr.. Dyer's account
books, with the records of debts to the amount
OF $500 were destroyed, as was nearly all the
clothing of the family and furniture. The fire
extended to the stable, aud the side adjacent
to the house was burned out By the use of
.snowbals and water, the flames were prevent
ed from entirely consuming the stable. Mr..
Dyer estimates his loss at $4,000. There was
an insurance of $lG]0 on the house and $500 on
the furniture, in the Merchants of Chicago, at
the agency of John e, Dow.

The BLUES BALL-Its no use DENYING the
fact, il anybody was SO inclined, that the Blues
dances are among the most popular ones that
eake place in this city. They make it point
that there shah not be the slightest occasion
for any one to find fanlt with any of the ar
rangements. Their floor managers are ndefat.
igable in seeing that partners are nrovided for
all, and that every couple that wishes to danca
shall e nd place in a set. That's the wav to
make dance popular and to enable every one
to enjoy themselves fully. Last night was no
exception to the rule. There was a splendid
party gathered at City Hall, the ladies al
looked their best, the gentlemen were very at
tentive, the music by Webb's Quadrille Band
was tip-top, and at the close of the last dance
the unanimous verdict of all was, 81 never had
a better time in all my life."
