It is our sad duty to announce the death OF
Weld N. Allen, Lieutenant Commander in the
United States Navy, which occurred at the
Falmouth Hotel yesterday lmorning. Captain
Allen complained of feeling i'll the night be-
fore, and DR.. Gordon was called. The illness
was not thought to be serious, though there
were some alarming symptoms about it. AT
ten o'clock yesterday morning some one went
into his room and fonnd him dead in his bed.
Coroner Hall was called, but deemed an in
quest unnecessary.
Capt. Allen was the son Of the late Judge
William c. Allen of Alfred in this state, was
born in that town March 9th, 1887, and was
consequently in the 3Sth year of his age. He
was appointed Midshipman May oath, 1852.
He remained at the Naval School at Annapolis
until 1856, graduating well in in his class. He
was commissioned Ensign in 1857, and attached
to the sloop Cyane, of the Home Squadron. In
1858 he was attached to the brig Perry of the
Brazilian Squadron. He remained with this
squadron until he was commissioned Lieuten-
ant February oath, 1861, and stationed at the
Washington Navy Yard. On the breaking out
of the war he went into active service on the
steam gunboat Kanawha, of the Western Gulf
Blockading Squadron. In 1868 he was COM
mssioned Lieutenant Commander and was
placed in command of the steamer New Lon
don. In 1864 he was transferred to the Tus-
carora, of the South Atlantic Blockading
Squadron and was subsequently engaged in the
two attacks on Fort Fisher, December 1864 and
January 1865. In the last assault he was
wounded in the left arm. At the conclusion OF
the war he was ordered to the Ticonderoga, OF
the European Squadron. In 1869 he was in
charge of the receiving ship at Boston, and in
1874 was ordered here in charge OF the Light
House Board, where he was stationed at the
time of his death.
Capt. Allen was man of ability in his pro-
fesson, and was respected and liked by all who
knew him. He was of singularly modest and
retiring disposition, and an honorable and warm
hearted gentleman. During his brief stay
here he made many friends. He was unmar-
ried. He has mother living, the daughter OF
Hon. Henry. Holmes, land brother, Henry W.
Allen, ESQ.,, who is lawyer of repute in New
York.

RESISTING OFFICERS. are still few
men in this city who have got to learn that it
is not good thing to resist an officer of the
law when he is performing his duty. Satur-
day night officers Hanson, Hicks and Stevens
found a crowd of fellows near Gorham's cor
ner making general disturbance. They took
the ring leader to the station and the rest Of
the crowd promised to 60 to their homes.
When the officers returned to the corner they
found the crowd had increased, and at once
began to disperse it. They arrested two fell
lows and were on the way to the station, when
crowd collected around them and attempted
to rescue the prisoners. The officers succeeded
getting them to the station and arrested one of
the crowd who resisted them. Tomorrow
morning Judge Morris will ask this youth to
pay $50 and cost for his sport. The officers on
this beat have been set upon by crowd sew
eral times of late, but have always succeeded
in getting their prisoners to the station.

have kept it constantly in the house, never allow
ing myself to be out of it ocer night In all these
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS
it has not tailed in single instance in my own case
to give the desired RELIEF; and will say the same in
regard TO my mother, whose
LIFE WAS SAVED
by it as caunot but think. Hers was case of Con-
gestion Of the Luugs, and although attended by a
most skilfal Physician she seemed to tail constantly
SO that we despaired of her recovery, when old
friend and neghbor persuaded her to try this Veget
able Pulmonary Balsam. The result was most graf
flying assure you.
RELIEF WAS IMMEDIATE
and recovery rapid. She is now over SO years old
and is active and well. Whenever she gets severe

AT the Chester Assizes which have just
closed Mary Lancaster, SO, was indicted TO,
tho manslaughter of her husband, John
Lancaster, at Birkenhead. The deceased
had long led the prisoner wretched life,
and ON the 18th September he came home
drunk and kicked over the meat which she
was preparing for his dinner. He then
thrashed her, and In passion the prisoner
threw ct him q sharpening steel and caused
biz death. The prisoner was hard working
woman, and in spite of her husbands
brutal treatment of her had done her best TO
make his home comfortable. The Jury
found the prisoner guilty. Mr.. Justice
Brett, addressing the prisoner, said-I be-
lieye that If I thought it right to act accor-
ding to your own feelings 4 should saw
nothing about this unhappy husband Of
yours. As far as l can see, you were q
respectable, hard-w orking, wela- behaved
wife, and feel bound to say o greater
brute than~your husband was have seldom
heard-of. There are circumstances in the
depositions even worse than those which
have been brought forward. They show
that even on the very last day you were to-
gether you were doing all you could to
make his home comfortable and to make
him happy. With a brutality which made
me shudder when read it, he cast away
that which You had prepared for HIM. He
had been beating you and ili-treatipg you
for months, probably for years, and it is
nothing but the tenderness and forgivingness
of the woman and wife which prevented
you from having him punished for crimes
he committed sgainst you time after time.
1t is only when he had driven you to des.
peration by ill-treeting you the whole day,
and dare say was on the point of ill.treat-
ing you again, that you in q moment of
passion took formidable weapon and
threw it at him, believe, without the in
tention of striking him. 1t did strike him,
and you Immediately ran for assistance,

MORE MIssIoNERs FROM ENGLAND TO
THE NEaRoEs.-Tbe London IabLet of the
26th ult., say The Feast of the Epiphany
will this year be q grand day for St..
Joseph's College. Five members of this
missionary society, four priests and one in
minor orders, will bid farewell on that day
to their youthful Alma Mater, in order to
cross the Atlantic, after having pledged
themselves by VOW to "beeome the fathers
and servants of the negro, and to under
take no work whatever which might inter
fere with their labors for tie blacks" Our
readers may remember that it was on the
2ist of November 1871, that the Bishop of
Stafford took out to Baltimore the fret lit
tie band of four missionaries. One of the
four, Rev. j. Bowling, was called to his
reward after having labored only nine
months among the negroes of Maryland. A
small reinforcement of two nissioners was
sent to them on the 20thof February, 1873.
This enabled them to take charge of st.
Augustine's Church in Louisville, In ad-
dition to the Church of st. Francis Xavier
In Baltimore. In spite of little drawbacks
which are inseperable in undertakings of
this nature God has visibly blessed the
labors of the young missiOners. We could
give no better proof of such blessings than
the fact that st. Joseph's College is asked
In an directions TO send moro laborers
