Vote for Governor.
The Daily Kennebec Journal of tomorrow
morning will contain the following: We pre-
sent this morning returns, official, from 1856
towns and plantations. The aggregate vote
thrown is ia, 1S1 in these towns, an increase of
1885 over last year in the same towns when
the aggregate was 1906. OF the ia, 1S1 votes
Perham receives 65,311, Kimball 5S,S74. Per-
hams majority, 16,44l. There are 127 towns
and plantations yet to hear from, which threw
last year an aggregate vote of 1855. These
towns will not materially change the result. If
the Republican gains in.them are the same as
in those already reported Perham's majority
will be in round numbers, 5000.

mrs. Burahazn's Concert.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Will you allow me to add word to your
friendly notice of Mrs. Burnham's concert? and
/ ask the favor because 81 would like to express
the great obligations which we are all under to
Miss Cary for her generous assistance, and the
rare pleasure which the whole audience receiV-
ed from her fine singing. AS often as she has
appeared before our people and under the most
favorable circumstances, she fairly surpassed
herself Son Tuesday evening. She was full of
animation and at her first appearance impaired
TO the audience a thrill of enthusiasm that
never dropped. The selection from Meyerbeer,
lively and joyous, was calculated to enhance
this condition. Her method of rendering the
Star spangled Banner was one of the finest yo-
cal efforts l have Witnessed in any artist IT,
magnetized with its ardor Later in the even
ing she gave. her friends sweet plaintive ,oelo-
dy by Thomas,-a contrast with the former
piece--bnt very acceptable, for it showed an
other phase of her consummate ability. TIL,
spirit in which it was received was the hest
criterion of its excellence. T.

stories, and visiting brother from st. John,
walked up the company by witty and telling
speech. Remarks were made by other gentle

to one of the parlors and spent another hour in
