| A,prRr C. SKILLNGs. The funeral services
! Of the late Albert c. Skillings were held yes
terday at his late residence in Gorham. He
was buried by the Odd Fellows of this city, of
which order lie was a member. The Ancient
Brothers, the lodge to which he belonged, turn
ed out in large numbers to pay their last tribute
of respect to their departed brother. There
were also delegates from all the lodges and en-
campments in the city; also quite a delegation
from the lodge in Saccarappa, making is all
over 800 persons in the procession, Mr. Skill
linos was also member the First Maine
Cavalry.
Short religious services were held at the house
of the deceased, which we're conducted by Rev.
Mr.. Ferriss assisted by Rev. Mr.. Zinamar,
after which an opportunity was given for all
who wished to see the remains. Hundreds
availed themselves of the opportunity. He
was dressed in plain suit of black, and clad
in the regala of his order. The cefin was
beautifully decorated with wreathes of flowers
by his brother Odd Fellows At the close of
the services at the house the several lodges did
escort duty to the grave, where he was buried
with all the honors of the order of which he
was such a worthy member.
Mr.. Skilling's age was 80 years. He leaves
wife and one child who will sadly feel their
afhiction. He is well spoken of by all who knew
him He won splendid record in the army,
where he served most faithfully for three years,
A special train of five cars ran from this city
to carry out those that wished to attend the
funeral
Many thanks are due to Mr.. Charles Rich,

MAINE GENERAL HOSPITAL FAIR.-lt is
seldom that the public are called upon, to rem
der aid to an institution more deserving of
their charity than the Maine General Hospital.
Its bcnefcence being not confined TO the high
or low, the rich or the poor, the utility thereof
can not be questioned. Will any one refuse as
sistance to this noble and charitable establish
ment, public institution that will provide the
best medical skill, and nurses, to mitigate the
pains of the sick, and where every thing hui
mainly or art can provide is supplied? Those
whom kind Providence has placed beyond
want, and are in the enjoyment of plenty, will
you refuse assistance2 Nothing but necessity,
nothing but Indulgence, should force any one to
violate all human and benevolent affection by
Withholding aid to some extent. Let none be
deferred from giving, however small the
amount, they may be able to devote to this
charity. The movement making by employ
ees in some of the manufacturing companies of
the State, for each one to contribute the
amount of one days work to the Hospital Fair
is highly creditable. Ns%
Who will refrain from rendering aid when he
is made aware of the generosity of those who
toll from morning to night, setting aside days
labor as their donation to the Fair for this
benevolent institution? What christian heart
will not make it his duty to contribute TO an in
stitution that will continue for generations to
alleviate the sutferings of the sick? .,

ARIZONA & SONORA PAPERS.
 No. VII.
By JOHN c. BACON.

After having spent a few days very agreeably at the house ot MT. Martin Barnes, Ca Philadel- phian, now running at Altar one of the two steam fiouring mills in successful operation in the State of Sonora), I seated mysel in a five mule carryall the weekly arrival and departure of which is to the Aitarefios what Dan Rice's grand entree is to the in- habitants of some remote Arkan- sas town. We waited about three hours after everything was ready, to gratify a popular Mexican fancy that it adds to their impor- tance to make a man wait, when there is no real necessity for it. If the traveller be an American, particular pains is taken to en- large upon any inconveniences that he may put to. If you in an incauti0as moment ask why this or that is so, pointing out some thing painful 10 your love of order and promptitude, the Mexican shrugs his shoulders, puts on a half reproachful half-triumphant smile, ard generally has three answers, of which you are to take your choice "Ay, senyor, somos muy pobres"' "Pues, es el estilo Mejicanor' "Asi hacemos" and you feel their hatred in the tones of their voices. Well, the driver had taken his seat and was about to crack his whip, when black robed Padre crossed the street in in great agitation, and entered the stage office The sagacious driver dropped whip, reins, and lit S cigarito with a nonchalance We ail a aAmired. A few moments
 more and the hlanketed agent ran out and bawled to the driver to unharnesS and turn his motley team out to graze; that the coach would not go till the next day. This was greeted with shouts of from the rabble gathered around. So We were forced to await the good pleasure Of the Padre. we visited near gar dcn5, and sat in the shade Of date palms bending with choice fruit.

and discovered US, sent finely developed lnuchacha of some ten summers over with a jarita of hot coffee and cups and sugar-bowl of exquisite pattern; we were also in- vited to dine with the mistress Of the place. And were consequent ly ushered into the parlor of the
 duenya, a short brunette of the
 highly passionate kind, if we may judge by the magnetism of her eyes. She welcomed LIS with that
 suspicious semi condescension
 which the better class of Mexi- cans generally affect in entertain
 ing invited strangers. In this parlor hung cheap pictures of saints, set off with shining bor.
 ders of tin and gilt; a well-worn set of cane-bOttOm States chairs stood upon a cheap carpet, broad striped and evidently of native
 manufacture; and a wondrously- beautiful little human lay asleep
 in rude hammock of raw-hide thongs that hung from the joists.
 Angelita 0he little angeD soon awoke and strangely enough cast frightened glance at Us from pair of large 6lue eyes of great brilliancy; while her complexion
 was transparent olive, its beauty enhanced y long tfesses of 6 shining brown. Father had come fr0m the south of France, but
 had been cruelty murdered for supposed implication with the ill., fated Crabb party. After a short conversation, figs, dates, oranges cake and a villainous decoction labeled Chateau Lafitte," were served. Then the harp was or dered, and some of the peculiarly passionate music so popular in Mejico was rendered, to which the servants were permitted to dance. X tall form just then ap- peared ln the doorway. With 8 glad cry Of welcome the widow pushed the harp aside, bounded forward, and with he exclama. tion "Robertito!" fell into his i open arms. We rose to go, when ! she wiped away a few tears that l we felt were sincere ones, and l introduced her "primo hermano" (frst cousin)!
