SHAw's CoNCERT.-Mr. John l. Shaw gave
his second grand musical concert at City Hall
last evening. A fair sized audience, about half
filling thr house, greeted the Arions, who per-
formed The principal part of the evenings en-
tertainment. 1t is somewhat singular that
more of our people of musical taste do not APP
preciate the choice selections of music and the
distinguished character of the artists introduced
by Mr. Shaw at these concerts. In one respect
however, the projectors of these musical soirees
may find encouragement, and that S in the
class of people who attend his concerts. Els
audience is composed of the elite of the city.
The choice singing of the Arions, our citizens
are familiar with, and that club never sang any
better than they did last night; indeed, there
were critics of good taste who aver that in har-
mony, fullness of tone and sweetness of ex-
preston, they excelled any previous effort

Rev. Samuel II. Merrill of this city died yes
terday morning at Scarboro', after an illness of
two weeks.
Mr.. Merrill was born in Buxton, Maine, in
May. 1905. and was therefore about sixty eight
years of age at the time of his death. He
graduated at Lane Theological Seminary and
began his pastoral labors in Darlington, n. H.
He was for while colleague of Rev. Lyman
Beecher, and was subsequently settled at
Amesbnry, Mass, O,dtown, Me-, and this CITY,
During the war he was the Chaplain of the
First Maine Cavalry-loved and honored by
officers and privates for his GOODNESS and intre-
pidity, and for his high-toned Christian charac-
ter. His history of this regiment, published
few years since, not only reveals the valiant
service this regiment rendered, but also illus
trates the love and friendship which can exist
between a chaplain and his men, when the for
mer is true gentleman, soldier and Christian
At the close of the war, declining on account
of i'll health to assume the responsibility of the
pastorate he accepted the appointment of Sec
rotary of the American Bible Society for Maine,
but for Il e past two or three years he has sup
piled the Congregational Church at Scarboro'
with great acceptance, and has now fallen with
the armor on, in the midst of people whose
hearts are well nigh broken by this sad and
sudden aff1iction.
On Sunday, August 31st, he entered his pull
pit, and after the Introductory services arose
and announced his text: There is but step
between me and DEATH" in moment he
stopped, sat down upon the sofa. and was car
ried to his room, where he has been patiently
waiting for the Master to call him unto Him.
SELF
That 'step'' he has now taken and has en-
tered forevermore into the rest and bliss of that
Redeemer whose life he had made his own, and
the unsearchable riches of whose Gospel he, for
nearly half a century, had presented with won
derful force and with peculiar winning ten
derness to the many who have listened to his
voice. Mr. Merrill will be missed by wide
circle of friends, who have priced his genial
companionship in toll and in pleasure for many
years. He was eminentiy one whom men must
needs respect. In his death the community
