THE SELF INTERPRETING FAMILY BIBLE
AND BIBLICAL LIBRARY CoMBINED.-This
work is thick quarto, solidly and elegantly
bound, printed in good type, containing, be-
sides the Old and New Testaments and the
Apocrypha, history of the English transla-
ton of the Bible, succinct account of each
of the books of the Old and New Testaments,
a concordance, an illustrated Bible dictionary,
and a large number of tables and indexes elu-
cidating the text, or necessary for ready COM
parison of different parts of Scripture. The
leading idea of the work seems to be to collect
the labors of the most learned, AID to lay
them before the reader in convenient and COM
prehensible form for individual use and judg-
ment. 1t seems to us to be an exceedingly
rich volume, and we hope no one will fail to ex-
anime it when called upon. 1t is sold only by
subscription. Mr.. F. Wood is agent for this
city.
We append testimonials from Portland anG

Having examined the plan of the large BIZ
BILE edited by Prof Stowe, we have no hesita-
ton in saying that the volume comprises a
larger amount of what is important TO be
generally known in respect to the sacred writ
ing than any other volume known to u.s. The
plan is remarkable for its comprehensiveness.

FATAL ACCIDENT. Yesterday afternoon
about o'clock jigger team driven by aman
whose name it was impossible to learn last
night, ran over boy three years old named
Frank Ford, whose parents resided in the Court
near the match-factory, killing him instantly.
The child was playing in the street near the
house, making mud-houses, when the jigger
came along driven quite rapidly, the wheel 60
ing over the boys head and crushing it, The
driver, without stapping to see how badly the
child was hurt, drove on. Coroner Gould went
up last evening, viewed the body and thought
it hest under the circumstances to hold an in
quest which will take place at o'clock this
morning.
Since writing the above the following addi-
tional particulars have been learned: Late in
the evening Marshal Parker and Coroner Gould
held consultation in regard to the matter and
concluded to find out who the man was and
hear his statement. The case was delivered to
Deputy Marshal Williams who, in less than
thirty minutes, had the man at the station. He
is a well appearing young man about % years
of age, and gave his name as George Puring-
ton. His statement is that he was driving
along from the freight depot, and as team
had Just passed him the air was filled with dust.
He saw man ON the sidewalk point to this
team, and thinking he had lost stake, stopped
his horses and went back into the road, when
he saw the child lying there. A woman came
out and picked the child up and carried him in
to house. Astonished and considerably be
wildered, at the terrible nature of the accident,
his first bought was for DOCTOR and jumping
on his team he drove at once down to Mr..
,Clay's, who owned the team, and relating the
circumstances to him, asked him to go for a
doctor, as he was stranger in town and didn't
know where to go. After listening to the mans
statement the Marshal told him he might go
home.

FIRE AT DEERNG.-Yesterday forenoon,
about eleven o'clock, as Mrs. Woodbury. 5.
Dana was driving through Woodford's Corner
she saw smoke issuing from the roof of the
fine two-story- and-a-haf house owned and oc-
cupied by S. III. Colesworthy, Jr., of this city.
The alarm was Immediately given, and it was
found that the attic was in flames AS there is
no engine at the corner, and no notice was sent
to the city for an engine, the fire had its own
way. As most of the men residing in the vi
cinity do business in the city, and were of course
absent, the ladies took hold with will, and in
a short time the house was completely cleared
of furniture The fire burned slowly, but it
was evident from the first that the buildings,
consisting of large square two-story house,
ell, barn and stable, all connected together,
tach the small stable aud pull it away from the
burning buildings. Two yoke of oxen were
brought to the ground and by means of chains
were hitohed to the building, long ropes were
attached to the chains, and a score or more of
men and boys took hold. 1t was amusing to
witness the original methods devised to save
the stable. 1t was finally moved far enough
away to save it from destruction. When the
baru, containing about a ton of hay, caught,
the heat became intense and cinders flew for
long distance, placing other buildings in immi
nent danger. The roofs of neighboring build
ings were kept wet, and fortunately there was
but little wind, so that no other loss occurred.
No one appeared to know how the fire origi-
mated, as there had been no fire lit in the house
during the day. The best theory is spontane-
GUS combustion. Mr.. Colesworthy is young
man and has owned the place only about
year He valued the house at $4,000. TIE
buildings were insured for $4,000, in the follow
ing companies: st. Paul, Minnesota, $4,000;
Penn, Philadelphia, $1,000, Warren Sparrow
agent; Amazon, $4,000, Dow A Palmer, agents.
The furniture, which was saved. was insured
in the Connecticut for $1,000, jeremiah Dow

THAT FRoG.-The harmless pile of rails now
lying alongside the Grand Trunk track at the
head If Smiths wharf, Commercial street, is
destined to become as historically immortal as
the fa0led frog of Esop. Railroad men call it a
"cross frog" and the indications now are that
business is intended and the frog will be laid.
Early yesterday morning gang of Boston &
Maine track layers began to lay the connecting
rails from their main track, to Smiths wharf,
crossing Commercial street just west of Maple
street. By shutdown the track was laid and
graded to the centre of Commercial street, the
evident purpose being to cross the Grand Trunk
and Eastern rails and connect will the track
now running down the eastern side of Smiths
wharf. 1t was rumored last night there would
be no resistance on the part of the Eastern
road. 1t was impossible to learn definitely
whether the work would be continued to-day,
or whether as report has it, matters will remain
Sin statu quo' until next Sunday, The only
way to find out is to wait and see.

To THE MEMORY OF JUDGE WARE.-After
the case of Sullivan had been adjourned in the
Superior Court yesterday morning, Hon. w. L.
Putnam arose and stated that he had been del
egated by the Bar Association to announce to
the Court the death of Judge Ware. He refer
red to the great emnenc that distinguished ju-
rist had attained, and remarked that at prop
er time and in the proper place fitting eulogy
would be pronounced. He would therefore re-
quest that in view of the position thelate Judge
had held and the importance his life had given
to the Courts of Maine, this Court be adjourn
ed over until tomorrow in order to enable the
Bar to attend his funeral.
County Attorney Ma4oclzs seconded Mr..
Putnam's remarks.
Judge Symonds said in reply, the motion pre-
sented by Mr.. Putnam and seconded by the
County Attorney, in behalf of the Bar, is most
appropriate, and not only the proprieties of the
occasion, but perhaps, even still more, the uni
versal sentiment of admiration and reverence
with which Judge Ware during his life was re-
garded, require that the motion be gr ntpd
And while we give this slight token of our re-
spect fer his memory here, we are glad to know
that before long, in a more fitting place before
the Court over which he SO long presided, and
where his labors not only won enduring fame
for himself, but were fruitful of results of last
ing benefit to the world, tending to the enlight-
enment of mankind in regard to their most inn
Dortant commercial relations and interests, a
more worthy memorial of HE life and services
and tribute of affection and reverence for his
memory, will be presented and entered of re-
cord. As mark of respect for the memory of
Judge Ware, this Court will now adjourn for
the day.
Yesterday afternoon the funeral of the late
Judge took place at % o'clock, from his former
residence on Free street. Rev. Dr. Hill of the
First Parish officiated, and there was a large
attendance of the Bar and prominent citizens.
