DEATH OF MRS WAsHBURN.-A despatch re
ceived at the Custom House yesterday after
noon, announced the death of Collector Wash
burns wife at Minneapolis, Mimi, Monday
evening. Mrs. Washburn left this city for Min
neapolis last December to nurse her son, who
was seriously i'll in that city. The physical ex-
ertion and mental anxiety consequent thereon
brought on the attack of illness which resulted
in her death. The funeral services take place
at Orono next Sunday where her family reside
Mrs. Washburn was lady universally liked
and esteemed, and her death will be regarded
as personal bereavement by many of our citi-
zens.

ance, he would not for an instant hesitate to

protest is necessarily inarticuate, upon the as
sistance of so apt delineator of their woes
A general chorus of COOLING praise should rise in
her honor. Rah For Free Park and Babies
