Ephrailn Lawrence,

This venerable and highly respected citizen
died at his late residence in Gray on the 10th
install the advanced age of eighty-one He was
a distant relative of the late Hons Abbott Law
renee and Amos Lawrence; was born in Graf
ton, Mass, but removed to Gray in early boy
hood where he continued to reside for more
than three score years. He was man of great
natural ability, and though enjoying but very
limited advantages for education, his natual
thirst for knowledge led him to read very ex-
tensivey religious, scientific and historical
works, and to keep well informed in all mat
tiers of public interest. He was truly a self
made man, and though not man of gen.eel re-
finement he was indeed one of natures noble
men and in general information and Judgment
upon all the ordinary affairs of life, he COM
pared favorably with those of more learned
professions
For many years, and when the trust was of
far more significance than now, he was JUS
tce of the peace, and has ever been Familiarity
known by the title belonging to that position
His counsel and advice were extensively sought
and highly respected. For several years he
was one of the selectmen of the town and often
held other offices of trust. la 1860 he was rep.
resentative to the legislature from the towns of
Gray and Otisfeld.
During all his long life he was an ardent
supporter of all measures for social and intel
lectual improvement was never found lacking
in works and deeds of benevolence and charity,
and was generous almost to fault. In the I'M
bounded goodness and wisdom of Divine Prov
idence, from whose tender care none could be
excluded, he was a firm and undoubting be-
lever, and this belief and lessons taught by it
were remarkably exemplified in his life Mean
ness, dishonesty and deception were dispisable
in his sight, and yet he was never wanting in
charity for the faults of others. Tenacious of
his own views. he always respected the opin-
ions of those who differed with him. He was
particularly fond of children, and his kind
words and warm generous nature, like magne-
tism, drew around him large circle Of little
admirers, who will miss, but never forget him.
His children and many grand children
will ever be proud TO reverence his memory
Manhood found in him sympathizing friend,
and old age a genial companion.
The f.culties of his early days he retained to
the end of life, and was therefore indeed ian
old man in whom was also something of the
young" so that he was heartily welcomed in
all circles Those most familiar with him felt
it pleasure to render to him their inequalities
loss by his departure, as the large concourse of
mourning friends that met to pay last tribute
to his memory will testify, but his example
and many good deeds are treasure which they
retain and will ever highly prize.

Ex-Gov. Noyes of Ohio, in reviewing care
fully the situation in the Congressional dis.
tricts of that state, predicts that twelve GER
tainly out of the twenty will go Republican,
and he thinks that Garfields district ought 10
be added to the list
The New York Star, Democratic, says that
"Mr. Tilden's friends must pour money out
like water, if they want the ghost of
chance"
Senator Conkling is said to have stated
that President Grant would not on any account
consent to be candidate for third term.

Compare the Democratic and the Republic
can state conventions of this year with those
of 1S70-the character of the prominent lead
ers, the tone of the talk at the conventions,
the spirit that either honestly animates, or
else is assumed by, most of our political lead
ers. There has been an improvement in ev-
cry respect. The days when muscle and
money could openly and defantly control the
intelligence and principle represented in state
conventions, have gone-not to return, we
hope, for long time.-N. Y. Mail.
Why wake up past "reminiscences? Here
everybody had been believing that Mr.. Til
den was incorruptble, and could never have
made a salary-grabber of himself under any
circumstances, when along comes a member
of the late Constitutional Convention and
says that Mr.. Tlden drew pay at the rate of
So day for five months that he was not
present. The worst of it is that the charge
is true. Cover that SALARY stear' back into
the Treasury, Samuel-quick!-N. Y. Com
merciM Advertiser.
We demand a sensation. We must have
something new. The weather is too beauti-
full to make fun of, nobody has been bitten
by mad dog for months, the Cremation Club
refuses to galvanize itself, statements are
happily at discount, the Mayor has subsidized,
it is a settled thing that Gen. Dix is again to
be Governor and there's no excitement in the
fight. and what are people to do.-N. Y.

Mr.. Simmons is to have little civil service
reform by order of General Grant, which

sented by his enthusiastic admirers.-Hart-

The Democratic organs squirm under the
announcement that the Comptroller has
$15,000,000 in the sinking fund, set apart

ministration, it was only 1911 ,244.09. At

In general, Spilkins is model man, but
still he is beset by human weaknesses. For
instance, Mrs. Spiikins, model housekeeper,
sends the stoves up stairs for summer vaca-
ton. Vacation is now over, and yesterday
morning, after breakfast, that good woman
intimated to Mr.. S. that the stoves must be
put at work. Accordingly he went up the
narrow stairs, found the iron monster, and
embraced it with truly masculine vigor.
Spilkins isn't ''horny handed" though strict
ly honest. The result was that at the foot
of that first flight of stairs he dropped the
stove with an improper remark and conclud-
ed to waltz the iron concern the rest of the
way. He did. Result: Mrs. S. mourns
ruined stair carpet. But Spilkins' troubles
did not end there. The stove in place, the
pipe would not fit. The pieces would not
match, the elbows were jammed and the
joints were only joints by lying figure of
speech. Spilkins got heated. lie tried to
induce the pieces to unite with hammer
and a fatriron. The funnel wouldn't be con-
vinced Spilkins waxed very excited; he
danced, he - well, cut his hand and such.
When we saw him he was loaded down with
the stove-pipe on his way to the stove store,
his new hat was smashed, his usually clean
hands were blackened and bloody, his comely
face was adorned with streaks of black, a la
Indian in mourning. We stopped him. He
related his trials. We instanced Job and
Moses and such. "Job,' exclaimed Spilkins,
sob would never have got all this reputa-
ton had he lived in these days of civilization
and iron stoves. Why can't some fellow in
vent decent stove-pipe and thus make
homes happy?"
