Death of Mr.. Vallandigham.

Cincinnati, June L.. Vallandgham died
at Lebanon, Ohio, at Is minutes before ten
this morning. He sank very rapidly after 3
oclOck, having no pulse scarcely after that
hour. Mr.. Nallandgham shot himself with
his own pistol-an improved Smith < Wes-
son Of l-32 calibre. Nalandigham immedi-
ately telegraphed to his physician, DIR.
Reeves, in the city, urging him to come at
once, fearing, Le said, that he was fatally in
| Jured. DIR. Reeves, in company with Mr..
Vallandigham's son, instantly proceeded to
| Lebanon, reaching there at midnight. The
wounded man was glad to see his friend and
| physician, and pressed his hand, and asked
| for something to relieve the pain in his body.
| A brief consultation was held between the
| physicians in an odjoining room, after which
DR.. Reeves had the patient turned over and
examined the wound. The bed was saturated
with blood, and the dying man groaned with
pain. Dr. Reeves desired all present to
leave, and closed the door for private con-
| terence with his patient In few moments
he reappeared and called Charley to his
fathers side. The interview was brief, but
of a most etfecting character. There were
several spectators and every one shed tears
Mr. Vallandigham patted Charley affection
| ately on the head and said, ''My son, my
son." His voice was husky, but distinct in
its utterance A few words more from the
fathers lips and his son was desired by DR..
Reeves to go to bed, as he himself would re-
main, with Mr.. Williamson of Loveland,
whom Mr.. Vallandigham had telegraphed to
and now requested to remain. Mr.. McBur-
ney, Judge Haynes, Mr.. Symmes and other
friends retired, and the vigil was taken up by
the medical gentlemen, and all hopes were
| abandoned Throughout the night the symp-
toms grew rapidly worse, and all hopes of
| his recovery given up. AT o'clock this
morning Mr.. Vallandgham was sinking rap
| IDLY and, when asked If he was suffering,
replied by nodding his head, He was con-
scious to the last, and only few minutes be-
fore his death remarked that he felt but little
pain Even when shot he did not fall or
move out of his tracks, but tore open his
| clothes and showed Governor McBurney his
wound. He was conscious from the first of
the danger, and probably even expected fatal
results, yet he exhibited no signs of alarm
Dr. Dawson of Cincinnati, arrived at three
o'clock, but was too late to do any good for
the dying man. Justice Haynes, his law
partner, from Dayton, reached Lebanon this
morning, with other personal friends, who
were with him in his last hours. Mcclellan
in the prosecution of whose case he lost his
life, was taken from Jail this morning to the
bedside, and shed tears as he beheld the
dying friend who had appeared during the
progress of the trial to summon all his ener-
gy and legal acumen in his defence. Mr..
Toilet made his argument for the State yes
terday, and has been followed this morning
by Mr.. Milliken, and it was expected that

Mr.. Vallandigham would commence his arg
ument this evening or Monday morning.
Judge Pope, before whom the trial was pro-
ceeding, adjourned the Court this morning
until Monday. Mrs. Vallandigham started
for Baltimore last evening, called there by
| dying brother Mr.. Vallandigham's body
will be taken at once to Dayton.
Dayton, Ohio, June Is. The remains of
Vallandgham reached this city last evening
at six o'clock. A heavy rain nterfered with
the reception contemplated, but the remains
were, nevertheless, met by the members of
the Masonic fraternity and personal friends,
and escorted to his late residence.
Mrs. Vallandigham who is almost crushed
by the double loss of her husband and broth
er, reached Dayton this evening by a special
train. The funeral will take place on Tues
day afternoon, under the direction of the
Masons. Persons who have seen the remains
to-day say that decomposition has wrought
considerable change since yesterday. Pro-
found sympathy for the bereaved family is
universally expressed. The Bar will hold a
meeting tomorrow.
Dispatches from Cincinnati, Columbus and
other cities indicate large attendance at the
funeral. The political friends of Vallandig-
nam IN this county will attend almost en-
nassc.
Cincinnati, O., June Is. 1t appears that
Mr.. Vallandigham with his associate coun-
sell had been out Friday evening expert
menting, with view of ascertaining kow
near the muzzle of pistol could be held to
cloth without burning it. The test was made
ana they were returning, two balls having
been fired from the pistol. Milliken, the
associate counsel, urged him to discharge
the remaining three balls, but Vallandig-
ham said, "No, never mind,' and though
Milliken repeated the suggestion, Vallandig-
ham declined to discharge them, and took
the pistol up stairs and laid it beside the
empty one, which he intended to use in the
argument Saturday. This led to the tragedy
which soon followed.
The Enquirer of this morning prenounces
his loss to the Democratic party of Ohio al
most irreparable.
public meeting is to be held tomorrow
in the Board of Trade rooms to take action
in regard to his death and funeral.

Fatal Accident.

fataI Accident.
While Mr.. Omar \. Taylor of Vassalbero
Friday forenoon was engaged in telling some
hemlock trees, on his place in the town
of Sidney, one of them struck a dead
limb of considerable size which quickly
snapped and fell striking Mr.. Taylor in the
face. He was taken up senseless and carried
to his home. Drs. Hill of Augusta, Thayer
and Crosby of Watervile were in attendance.
At first it was thought that the wound was not
fatal, but it was afterwards evident that the
base Of dis skull was broken. He died Sat
urday afternoon at o'clock. He was a man
in the middle age of life, well to do farmer
and leaves a wife, but no children. Our Vas
salboro' correspondent informs us that Mr..
Taylor was a man much respected and cs-
teemed in his town.
An attentive correspondent at Wateryille,
in sending us additional particulars, writes
lie was carried to Mr.. j. O. Drummond'.
in Sidney. where he was attended by Drs
Crosby and Thayer of Waterville and Hill OF
Augusta. He fingered till Saturday after
noon at half past three when he ceased to
breathe. He did not come to his senses
sufficiently to converse any and it is doubtful
if he knew any one, or was conscious of any
thing about him. The most of the time he
lay quiet, breathing a large part of the time
with much difficulty, but Friday evening for
nearly an hour he struggled very hard to get
off the bed and it was with difficulty that sew
eral men held him on to the bed Occasion
ally before this and during the night he made
attempts to get up. but for several hours be-
fore he died he lay quiet and breathed his
last without a single struggle. A large num-
Der of his friends called to see him before he
died, and several, including his wife and
several brothers and sisters were present at
his death and he was kindly cared for. On
Saturday evening his body was conveyed
across the river by friends to his late home,
with willing hands, each knowing if he were
in the place of him deceased, Omar would
have been the first and most willing to have
done the same.
Mr.. Taylor belonged to the M. +. Church
of Winslow and Nassalboro' and had many
friends. He was active in the Church and
Sabbath School, good singer the leader OF
the choir, and the church and neighborhood
are in mourning.
At the last Sabbath evening prayer meeting
before his DEATH he spoke with unusual earn
estness of the brevity of life and of being faith
full to the end no doubt little thinking il
would be his last eXhortaton. The evening
before he went to his work early in the morn
ing he, with his wife, sang "Shall we gather
at the river?"
His funeral will be at the little NJ. f.
church in Winslow, where he has so often
spoken for Jesus, on Tuesday afternoon al
| two o'clock.

Letter from Wateryllle.

Saturday our place was visited by the Gar
diner High school, attended by their teacher,
Mr.. Stockbridge and the teachers of the Gram
mar schools, Miss Hodgkins and Miss Wood.
The day was perfectly delightful, and if we
are allowedto judge from the many pleasant
faces with cheerful countenances that were
seen about the streets, around the College
grounds, in the Memorial Hall looking at the
Lion of Lucerne and scattered here and there
in picnic parties under the willows and elms,
without hesitation we should say that they all

had perfectly delightful time. The men,
bers of the class in Geology were shown
about the Cabinet by the kindness of Prof.
Hamlen The Gymnasium was open all
day for the inspection of the visitors, some Of
whom availed themselves of the opportunity
of rolling a string of n-pins while others
watched the students as they swung. on the
horizontal bars. In the afternoon friendly
game of base ball was played between the
nine of the Gardiner High school and the
second nine Of the CoDgl0merates of WaterviIle
which resulted in a score Of 80 to % in favor
Of the Conglomeratcs.
Mr.. Millmore's copy of Ihorwaldsens Lion
of Lucerne is becoming more and more an
object of praise and admiration. Prof. Smith
remarked, after he had been gazing intently
for some time, in his emphatic style, ''there
is thought in that face, and there is express
sion" Mr.. Millmore, the SCULPTOR is here
experimenting the placing of it. The solid
wall of rock has been cut away so as to re-
ceive it, and archcd ovcrhead the arch be-
coming smaller as you look in that when
finished the Lion will appear to be resting on
the edge of miniature cave. The marble is
the best Italian. The work is perfect. You
cannot see it all at one glance, one day is not
long enough to study it, and we doubt not but
that in future years, when the pres snt genera
ton shall have passed away, it will be adj
mred even more than ii is to-day. Thor
waldsen's Lion of Lucerne was hewn in the
native rock, where it las ever been on the
dangerous pass where the brave Swedes, who
were left to defend it, persisted. Millmores
Lion of Luccrne is now destined to remain on
the College grounds to commemorate the
names of those earnest students, of whom it
might be said, rjacit amor patTial Their
faces we shall see here no more, but their
history we can ever read in the chiscled lines
of that marble memorial. KAPPA.

is expected that Grand Master. John II.
Lynde, proprietor of tie Bangor Wing ana
