per Sc, the city Of anomalous tastes the new Qua
ker meeting house has been well filed and the
City Hall crowded also, with its negro Ministries
and their equally arpreciatiye audiences. This
week the annual Free Baptist Conference at one
end of the city, and the all absorbing horse rot at
the other Snugy sandwiched in between which
events came the exodus of thousands from the Po-
land and Mechanic Falls campmeetngs, and other
thousands to the great republican rally. Verify,
the cotton metropolis of Maine is the city of many
tastes.

A Sad Affair.
Horace c. Hail. Esq, of Jonesboro, left home
morning early this week, for Epping Plains, to
return with his daughter and her husband, who
were there expecting MFR. Hall to come. AT about
noon he was found in his carriage helpless and un-
conscious. The parties who found him supposed
him to be drunken man. They removed him to
the side Of the road and leftShim in the hot sun.
Two or three hours later other parties found him
and they supposed they had drunken man, and
removed him to the 'rhotel" on the Plains. Sub
seauently, persons came in who recognized the un.
fortunate man, and knowing him to be person of
strict temperance habits and good morals, they
concluded he had received a sunstroke
A Doctor was called, his wife sent for and all
done that could be done for his relief. The second
day after the attack, the doctor pronouncing it
paralysis, one side being wholly paralyzed and
speech lost, Mr. H. was removed home. He re-
mains unconscious. DR.. Hunter of Machias, was
called to see him last evening and says he can't
live but day or two. Mr.. Hall has been good
citizen, honorable in his dealings and upright in
all the social and business relations of life. He
had several offices of trust in his town, and twice
represented his district in the legislature.
The affection is sad to his family, wife and two
daughters, and numerous friends, to some of
whom it came not unexpected rs his health had
been poor for three years past.
