Seldom in community called upon TO mourn
with more unfeigned sorrow the loss OF loved
ones than has this people in the death OF MISS
Martha A. Pike, who died suddenly at Penn
broke, March Sth, of apopexy. In her oea'n |.
widowed mother and two sisters are robped VI
one on whom they leaned for advice and COLI
solatory counsel, and whose brilliancy OF lnu'i-
lect and purity of character, was their guidins
star and beacon light. In her death commu-
nifty is deprived of its brightest intellect, ana
the example of one of the purest chrlstah
Ives. Although dead her example will long
live and speak, as never before, to the young,
to whom she was known only to be respected
and loved.
Martha was the eldest daughter of the iate
DIR. w. B. Pike, of Cornish, and was A years
of age. From her youth she was noted for tne
sweetness of her disposition, the purity OF ner
character, and the extraordinary strength OF
those intellectual qualities which became so ac-
tractive and fully developed in after life. Az
an early age she graduated with donors at new
Hampton Academy, N. H., and since then mas
been successful teacher of the languages auo
mathematics in several academies in the state;
She was close student, of enlarged ideas, ana
wonderful breadth and capacity OF MIND. Cne
was mistress of seven languages; as maine
maticlan she was not eXcelled; and. her moaes
ty and unassuming manner never for a moment
caused her to feel her superiority or arrogate 70
herself any of the praise which was SO !reeiy
bestowed upon her by her admiring friends.
Frail in body, yet her nervous powers MADE made
her strong ;and few will forget the vlvaclonsness
of her character,whether as a sister or trlend,
student or teacher. commingler with tne
world, or partaker in the exercises and devo-
tons pertaining to her christian life. Her aim
was to do everything well, and in her several
departments and duties in life, not the nrst
stone has been cast nor the slightest imputation1
preached. Her christian life, her valuable ald
and assistance as a teacher to thousands VINO
have been her pupils, and who can bear, testi-
mony to the correctness of every word here
written; her devotion to her friends her anna
BILE disposition, aud her fidelity to her family,
are traits of character which should be emu
lated by all who know her. Loving hands have
laid her gently away in the silent tomb, and
loving hearts have been wrung with anguish
by her loss,
"Lovely in death the beauteOus ruin lay;
And if in death still lovely, lovelier there. q

PORTLAND BRIDGE ExTENsIoN.-Mr. Verge,
the contractor, informs us that the bridge at the
Eastern depot will be completed in about two
weeks. 1t appears to be an excellent structure,
with carriage way thirty-four feet wide, and
sidewalk six feet wide, with railing or sides
so high as to prevent horses from seeing the
passing trains. When it is completed there
will be no more to be said about the gridiron OF
death.

A ROUGH PAssAGE.-The new barkentine
Fred Eugene, from Cardenas the 4th inst, ar
rived at this port at midnight Sunday. She
had very rough weather the last few days of
the passage. She was heavily loaded. bringing
747 hogsheads and 104 tierces of molasses.
Capt. Smalley says that he ran from Cardenas
to Cape Hatteras in just 81 hours. Everything
went well until they came off Cape Cod last
Wednesday evening, when the sea became
rough and the vessel was tossed about like an
egg shell. Some time during tie day one of
the hogsheads on the poop deck WAS stove up.
This set the the others in motion, and before
the storm abated Friday morning every one ct
the seventy hogsheads On the poop deck were
stove to pieces. The deck of the vessel was
washed with every sea and the ropes and rig
gig were iced I'D so that it was almost impos-
sible to work the vessel. Friday morning the
storm abated and the vessel was off Matinicus
Light. Ths captain says that if the vessel had
not been unusually strong she would have gone
to the bottom. The bow of the vessel is cover
ed with ice and many of the ropes have not
yet been cut out. Her poop deck presents
sweet looking appearance; all that is to be
seen is the hoops and slaves of seventy hogs
heads

Vermont School Lands,

In nearly all the towns of the State are
lands belonging to the town, the income of
which is by law devoted to the support of
common schools. These lands. as will be
seen by the tables given below. form a
very respectable source Of income. and
one creditable to the State. Hon. Edward
Conant, the State Superintendent, has
been gathering statistics from the various
towns in regard to these lands, in some
cases getting them from the town clerks,
though generally from the superintcnd'
ents. The most of these school lands were
set apart by the charters of the several
towns, but some are the gifts of individ-
uals and some were transferred from other
uses to the use of schools by act of the
Legislature
Mr.. Conant is by no means certain that
the reports given below show the full
amount of the fund, for in some towns the
clew to the existence of the funds reported
was the remnant of tradition that Il funC
had been at some time given by some per
SON.
The State Superintendent of Education
has sought to find the amount Of income
from these lands for the entire State, and
furnishes the following summary of re-
suits
The reported yearly income from thu
