The resolutions were unanimously passed.
The funeral will take place at two o'clock

Mr.. ToTMAN's CoNDITIoN.-We are informed
by DIR. Tewksbury-one in consultation in the
case of Totman-that the lower portion of the
thigh bone was broken into fifteen pieces
and the fracture extending into the cavity of
the knee joint-a circumstance of rare occur
renee from a single fall, the injury being so
extensive that no treatment could be adopted
but amputaton of the leg. We learn he was
offered the privilege of being taken into the
Maine General Hospital, but his friends pre-
ferred to have him at home, yet he is a poor
man and hardly able to incur the expenses Of
sickness. We are glad however, to hear that
funds have been raised among his friends for
his assistance, and that his situation and con-
dition last evening was as favorable as could
be reasonably anticipated.
