similar relation to the Pacific link. Large
and difficult enterprises like the Sc, railroads
in Iowa, dry docks in Portland, Mississippi
bridge-building, coal mining in Pennsylvania,
numbering in Maine, all connected with the
development of the material resources of the
country, particularly at the West, of which
he foresaw the future as clearly as any one,
were the profitable and congenial occupation
OF the best years of his life. His vigor, courage
and sagacity inspired other capitalists with a
confidence which was always rewarded by
success, and among our conditores imperio-
rum, his name will deserve high and honor
able place. Mr.. Lambard's family connec-
tons were numerous among the best people of
N ew England He must have derived from
his paternal rather than his maternal ancestors,
for from the latter sprang such a diverse
character as the poet and mystic Ralph Waldo
Emerson, his cousin, while his father who
still lives, is prominent among the citizens of
Maine for vigor of character and sagacious
enterprise hardly less marked or successful
than his sons. For the last three or four
years Mr.. Lambard resided in this city where
he had wide acquaintance and will leave as
many friends as in Massachusetts or Maine
to regret his sad and early death.

in the State, which has been appropriately
fitted up for the occasion.
Two hours were occupied in impanelling
jury, which was selected from thirty-seven.
OF the names first drawn, eight persons who
had conscientious scruples about finding
verdict of guilty where the punishment is
death, were set aside, seven were decided or
had formed an opinion, three were excused
and seven peremptorily challenged. Benz
F. Blackstone, Esq, of Belfast was appointed
foreman.
The prisoner, who is twenty. eiget years Of
| age, appeared in good health and spirits, neat
in person and dress, and entirely free from
any indication that would render him suspect
ed of the terrible crime for which he is ar
raigned. He conversed with his counsel dur
ing the selection of the jurors, and looked
upon each as they were sworn with indiffer-
ence. AT the suggestion o: counsel the jury
view the premises where the murder took
place tomorrow.
The court adjourned until afternoon, when
Col. Taylor will open the case on behalf of
the Government. Over fifty witnesses for
the State have been summoned, and the trial
is expected to continue week. There are
three other indictments against Gordon for
the murder of his brother, Almon NJ. and his
infant child, and for an attempt to kill son
of Almon NJ, aged 6 years.

On Friday evening last, o. ID. Wetmore,

Of N. A, who was at this village on business,
entertained the Reform Club with lecture,
aud again on Sunday evening, by earnest ie-
quest, addressed the people at the NJ. f..
Church. Mr.. Wetmore is a rapid, earnest
AID entertaining speaker, dealing in substan-
tial arguments rather than fancies, inter
spersed but not overloaded with illustrations,
as is too frequently the style of temperance
speakers. He looks upon intemperance as
painful fact, not to be disposed of by funny
stories and side splitting anecdotes, but to be
dealt with earnestly yet candidly, and by the
power of appeal for the right because it is
right, to convince his hearers that all manner
of indulgence in intoxicating liquors should
be abandoned at once and forever We ad-
wise the temperance people of any communi-
ty where Mr.. VS. business may call him, to
secure from him an address upon his favori,e
topic.
