METEORO LOGICAL.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1870 p M-The bar
Ometer has fallen from Missouri northward
since Saturday afternoon. 1t rose on the Gulf
coast but has now again fallen. The high bar
ometer which was over the lake region has
moved eastward and is now north of New Eng
land, except small isolated area east of New
York. The temperature has risen this after
noon to an extreme height from Nebraska to
New Englrnd and Pennsylvania. Rain has
fallen since yesterday on the Gulf and South
Atlantic coast, and SO far as heard from in
Minnesota. Clear and hazy weather has pre-
vailed from Lake Michigan to the Ohio river
and eastward to the Atlantic
Probabilities-The area of local storms will
probably be developed tonight and Tomorrow
from Tennessee and Arkansas northward to
the lakes Renewed rain will probably be ex-
perienced Monday from Texas to Florida and
Virginia. A falling barometer with cloudy
weather is probable for the Middle and East

MISCELLANEOUS NOTICES.

The Travellers Insurance Company insures
against accidents causing bodily injury or loss
OF life; guaranteeing the payment of a stipulat-
ed sum per week, from So to $50, if the acct
dental injury be so severe as to totally disable
the person insured from labor or business, or
the payment OF the principal sum insured, from
$500 to $4,000, if the injury cause death within
three months.
EUery man 10 liable to accident. "Good luck"
cannot always be depended upon. 1t will not
prevent trains from running off the track,
steamboat boilers from exploding, machinery
from mangling, horses from running away,
side walks from being slippery, fire from burn
ing, lightning from striking, or injury from the
carelessness of others. The questions to be set.
tied are precisely the same as in fire insurance.
Is is not cheaper to let a responsible company
take the risk than it is to take it yourself? Is
not the protection offered worM more than it
costsP
Accidents will happen" to persons travel
ing on business or pleasure; to the mechanic or
artisan working at his trade; to the farmer cul-
tivating his farm; to the operative in mills and
factories; to the professional or business man
in the active pursuits of life; accidents may
happen to any man. by his own misfortune or
the carelessness OF others.
Every prudent and careful man sill act with
reference to future contingencies. Bodily in
jury by accident is one Of the most frequent
causes Of distress; of distress to mans fami-
~. if fatal to him; and to himself also, if only
disabling him from business. III either case,
this mode of insurance comes with certain re-
lief e's9 q g. I'd
Thousands of these who have been rejected
by Life Companies, can obtain accident insur-
ance at low rates.
The feeling of security that such an insur-
ance gives to those dependent upon their own
their own labor for support is worth more than
money. ..
No better or more satisfactory investment
can be made of SO small sum. Therefore:

This company also issues full Life and In
surance Policies at low cash rates.

Office &euld leave some time Tor the practice OF
his profession, and as Mr.. Butler had iempor.
arily retired on account of ill health, copart-
nership was formed with Hon. Josiah H.
DrumraOnd, which lasted until the present
time. In the summer of 1870 Judge Devils re-
ceived his commission for a second term of Of
flee, He was also one Of the Commissioners of
the Building Loan, in conjunction with A. K
Shurtleff and the late Eben Steele.
Judge Davis always took an active part in
the temperance re form, and was instrumental
to large degree in shaping the Legislature of
the State upon that question. He was also an
original Anti-Slavely man, and one OF the
founders of the Republican party, for that
radical political movement had its birth in
Maine, as did compulsory temperance legisla-
ton. He was a graceful and forcible writer.
He wrote much for the newspapers OF his ma
tive State and for the N. Y. Independent, and
contributed frequently to the pages Of maya
zinas and religious periodicals. A few years
ago he published volume of religious char
acter entitled The Beautiful City, but it never
came under the writer's notice. In his theo-
logical views Judge Davis was Congregation
alist, a member of the State street Church and
for number Of years one of the deacons. He
lived faithfully up to his professions, and there
are few among US who have maintained a
purer record. We must leave the work of
presenting his inner life and character to some
one who knew him intimately. We speak of
him as We have known him, IS a public man
and citizen for more than fifteen years. He
has left reputation bright and unsalled.

has lost three of her best citizens-best in the
highest sense of the term-Steele, Greenoush,

DEATH or SETH CLARK.-This venerable
man, formerly one of the best known citizens
of Portland, died on his farm on the Back
Cove road in Deering, yesterday, at the ripe
old age of SO years, Mr. Clark was q native of
Northampton, Mass, and came to Portland in
1907. He was tailor by trade and opened q
shop on ExchaHge street, on the spot now COW
cred by Cook 3 Ayers tailor shop, where he
oontibded IN business for about thirty years,
when he sold out and retired to the farm where
be died. His shop was famous place in its
dsy.-a hNprite resort for gossips. and all the
town itafk was brought in and discussed in
front Of his shep board, and many Of the older
citizens we'll remember the hours spent in the
old store. Mr.. Clark lived and died in the full
faith 10 the Hartford Convention, and believed
it to be composed of the purest patriots in the
land. He was the first man to put stone
store front in this city-in his old store, which
was destroyed in the great fire. He was
member of the Masonic fraternity, and was
probably the last SUI vivor of the of the origin
al members of the Grand Lodge. Mr.. Clark
always had tho respect of the community, for
was an honest, upright and industrious man.
He leaves qute'a number of surviving chill
dren, but few of whom, We believe are now re-
siding in the vicinity.
