Obituary,

Another old resident of the city has passed
from this life to that which is brighter and
better "beyond the river" Mr.. jesse Youn 9
for many years citizen of Portland, died on
July LIST, at the residence Of his son, VIM. C.
Young. Mr.. Young was born in Gray in 1900,
came to this city in early youth. and except
within the last few years, when for short
time he removed to the adjoining town of
Deering, his residence here has been uninter-
rupted. While he never became distinguished
in political affairs, or sought in any other way
to attract to himself puolic attention, he has
ever been good citizen, an upright, honest
man, and one much respected aid loved by all
who knew him. Dilligent in business and
faithful in the discharge Of the duties of life,
he has won many friends. For years he has
been protested Christian, and his daily life
has given evidence that his profession was no
mere formality but that his was that true re.
ligon which upholds and sustains its possessor
in all the trials of life He has been visited
chasten those whom God loveth. In his later
years, sickness, nfirmity and the slow decay of
age, have clouded his life and enfeebled his
faculties; but through all he has kept undim-
med his steadfast faith in the captain of his
Salvation !, and be has now passed to his re-
ward; and while his sons and daughters and
the circle of relatives and friends must deeply
mourn him, yet they know that their loss is
indeed his eternal gain, and therefore they are
not as them that have no hope" III.

Nor PLEAsANT.-A short time since a down
east merchant thought his wife a remarkably
fine looking lady-was not true to him, and he
resolved to watch her movements. About this
time the wife started as she stated to spend
season at Old Orchard. The husband suspect
ing all was not right sent word to this city for
her to be watched. 1t was at last ascertalned
that she was stopping at one of our hotels wi
gentleman from Great Falls, N. Ell. She re-
manned at the hotel until last Monday, when
she left and took up her abode at a well known
boarding house. Wednesday night the Great
Falls man left town, and the woman started on
an eastern bound steamer for her home just
as she left Der husband arrived, and after
spending the night started home to meet his
wife. Anything but pleasant meeting may
be expected. The husband stated before leav-
ing hers that he should apply for divorce at
once

handsomely gotten up volume entitled '.The
Successful Business Houses of Portland" 1t
contains sketches of fifty-op of the prominent
firms of this city engaged in trade and manu-
facture, from the facle and graceful pen of
Mr.. E. FL. Elwell of the Transcript The
work. SO far as it goes, is well done; but the IL
tie is broader than the ground gone over, for it
is to be presumed that neither author nor pub
Usher claims that the list of fifty-one embraces
all the successful business houses of Portland
Those who do figure in the list have certainly
reason to be gratifed at the handsome shape
in which their history and standing are put be-
fore the public. We learn that they employ an
invested capital of 50, O18,5 $780, that their aggre
gate sales during the past year reached the
sum of $15,50O.000. that they give employment
to IT'S employees, and that they pay out annu.
ally to their employees the sum Of 5000
Mr.. Elwell furnishes in his interesting intro
duction some facts regarding the natural adj

aged citizens certainly will find very pleasant
