ATCH1SON, Mas, aug
East evening DR.. J. A. Larvey, a
vell.known physician of 1atan,
Mo-, some ten miles south Of this
.;tv. ended his life by shooting
himself with a revolver. He was
addicted to drinking and had
been on a spree for some days part
oftbe time away from home. He
finally sobered up and in return
inc to his Office found that a num-
nor of calls had been made for
him during his spree. One of
these was FROM a personal friend
who had died, while waiting for
medical attention. The doctor
was overwhelmed with grief and
remorse, and after writing direc-
tons about some property he went
into back room and shot himself
through the head. He was found
dead by persons who we're attrac-
ted to the spot by the report of the
pistol. DR.. Larvey resided in
this county for several years.

The Wool market remains in the same quiet state
noticed for some weeks past although the aggregate
sales foot up fair average, especially when we con-
slider that so much machinery is stopped on account
of the scarcity OF water. January has passed with
out the customary thaw and was one OF the coolest
on record Stocks of goods are believed to be com
paratively small and, there must be an abundance
of water at early day, Wool must sooner or later
be quite active.
In New York the closing of the week witnessed a
continuation of the active demand We noticed at the
opening and prices, though weak on the lower

other descriptions The weakness on Fall California
is owing advices from San Francisco, which state
that large quantities have been purchased by Eastern
dealers, and are either now in transit or waiting

from the local manufacturers and some demand on
Eastern account but the trade is far from satsfac-

BANGOR, Feb. 3-Hon. Samuel +. Hersey,
member of Congress from the Fourth Maine
district, died at his residence in this city short.
ly after ten o'clock this evening, after pro-
tracted illness.
General Hersey was born in Sumner, Me-, in
1872 He received an academic education and
while young man moved to Penobscot county
aud became interested in timber lands and
numbering operations. which proved very sue
cessful. He was business man of great ener-
gy, and of late years, in addition to his large
interests in Maine, has invested extensively in
numbering, etc., in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
Iowa. He has long been prominent in the pol
itics of the state, having been one OF the pio-
neers of the Republican party and sturdy ad-
vocate of its principles. He was member OF
the state Legislature in 1854, 1857, 1866, and in
the state Senate in 1862 He was also a mem
Der of the Executive Council in 1851, 1852 and
1864; delegate to the national Republican con-
ventions of 1860 and 1864, and member of the
national Republican committee from 1864 to
1868. He was elected to the Forty third Con-
gress by over 5000 majority, and reelected to
Forty-fourth Congress last September.
His health failed him in the fall of 1872, and
since that time he has been bravely battling
with a complication of diseases, which has
proved fatal.
He was prominent member of the Univer-
salist denomination, and was widely known
and respected throughout the Estate and else
where. He leaves widow and several chill
dren. His death, although not unexpected,
will be seriously felt in this community.
