The annual address before this venerable so.
ciety will be delivered by Rev. Asa Dalton to-
morrow evening in the First Parish Church.
Among all the charities for which our citv is
ojustly noted, none have higher claim ON
the sympathy and aid of the rich, or the COM
fOrtably situated in life than this time -honored
institution. With the exception of the Marine
Society, it is the oldest. Established in 1903
by the solid men of Portland, principally ITO
relieve persons who have seen better days." it
has continued true to its mission ever since
Ito founders subscribed literally for fund, to
be paid principally in subsequent installments,
put mercantile reverses prevented many from
fulfilling their promises Not much of a per-
manent fund " as secured, and some of the
early subscribers in after years became them
selves the bene6ciaries of the society.
Benevolent and substantial men have man
aged its affairs from the beginning. Public
addresses and contributions have been secured
annually, without much interruption.
Considering that the help offered by this SO.
ciety is merely to those who were once in good
circumstances and position, and have suffered
reverses, it seems BETTING that the society
should be remembered in the gifts and legacies
of those who by kind Providence are permit
ted to enjoy their possessions. Some of our
worthy citizens now deceased, were not forget
full. The late Hezekiah WinslOw and William
Shaw, left one thousand dollars each for this
object. With few exceptions, the other gifts
to the society have been small especially of
late years. The payment of twenty dollars
constitutes life member. 1t is desirable that
good list of such should be obtained for the
benefit of the permanent fund.
The managers distributed last winter in two
installments, $773 to about one hundred per-
sons.
Let US all go in tomorrow eve ming, listen to
the discourse and obtain blessing by
leaving generous gift in the box. 1t will
cheer the hearts of some who were once in
aff1uence or comfort, but are now poor or sick
MANAGER.

Thomas Carlyle writes a long letter to the
London Times on the war between France and
Prussia. He shows what France, after an ex-
perience of four centuries, is pretty sure to do
again when she gets on her feet, and therefore
praises the policy pursued by Prussia, which
he claims is founded on solid and practical
prudence.

The Berlin press is able to demonstrate from

The English ambassador, Odo Russell, can
only obtain from Bismarck verbal statements
IN reference to the future attitude of Prussia
in her alliance under the treaty of 1856, and
this fact supports the prevailing conviction
that Prussia will undoubtedly ally herself with
Prussia in the coming war.
1t is said that the particular violations of the
war OF 1856 which Russia has complained OF
are as follows: The cruise of the Prince Of
Wales in the Black Sea in an English frigate
similar trip subsequently by Lord Bulwer
the appearance of the Austrian squadron at
varna when the Austrian Emperor was there;
and lastly, the voyage of the Sultan in Tnrk-
ish frigate. The Russian envoy at CONSTANT.

stance at the time, but Intellectually.

gained with L. G. Prescott of Portsmouth for
lot of spokes. One of the firm visited Pres

ARRIVAL OF STEAMER CHAsE.-The steamer
Chase arrived here about half-past o'clock
last evening from Rockand, in tow of steamer
Montreal, which went to Rockland Yesterday
morning for that purpose.
The Chase left Halifax Saturday afternoon
last and was proceeding quietly on her way to
this port, when, about half an hour after mid
night on Sunday, the cylinder burst, supposed
from pin dropping out. She was then about
20 miles w. N. w. of Seal Islands. Mr.. Lar
kin, the engineer was killed by inhaling the
steam. Just before the accident occurred he
was seen near the door of his room. After it
occurred he was found on his bunk lifeless

~scalded, but was more comfortable last evening
and strong hopes are entertained of his recov-
cry. lie had presence of mind to place bis
hand over his mouth, so that he did not inhale
much steam.
For moment everything was in confusion
after the accident. The fires were in full blast
and there was danger of the boiler busting,
when Harry Lane, the oler, stove into tile
mates room and opened the safety valve, thus
letting off the steam. The fires were then
banked.
The steamer was then put under sail. The
wind was light and she was dragging the FRO
peler, SO that her course was slow. She ar
rived at Rockland about 5 o'clock Thursday
afternoon. Before she came to anchor there

YARMOUTH, NOV. II, I67U.
The Fall Term of Yarmouth Academy, which
closed on Wednesday of this week, has been
one Of unusual interest and profit. The school
commenced with fifty-eight scholars, but near
~ doubled its number during the term, while
but one scholar left the school during the ses-
sion, and that one went to take charge of anoth.
er school. Eight of the scholars we're neither
absent or late, and the attendance for the term
averaged ninety-seven and one-half per cent,
higher average probably than has been at
tanned by any other school in the State. The
literary exercises at the close were of a high
tone and passed off in a manner highly credit
able to the institution. No jar or discord has
happened to MARI the prosperity of tn term,
which has closed with perfect harmony and
good feeling between teachers, scholars and the
community. Mr.. Moody's second term with
this school will commence on Tuesday, Decem-
Der 9th, with able assistants. CITIZEN

OPENING AN OLD GRAVE,

HARTFORD, Nov. 1S-The authorities of the
town of Say brook to day removed the monu-
ment erected there to Lady Fenwick the first
white woman buried on Connecticut soil, the
removal being necessary for railroad improve
ments. In searching for the remains the
bonts of the deceased were discovered, the
skull being found intact and the teeth we'll
preserved, and some hair about the skull
which crumbled at the touch. Lady Fenwick
was buried at Saybrok Point in 1913, 222
years ago. The remains and monument are
to placed in the Saybrook cemetery with
formal ceremonies.
