AT the Republican caucus in Westbrook
Thursday evening Chas E. Boody was nomin-
ated by acclamation as candidate for Represent

Inc announcement that Rev. A. FL. Gage the
Greenoack candidate for Governor last year
was to speak in Saccarapps. drew an audience
of twenty-five or thirty to the Universalist
church Thursday evening The late aspirant
for gubernatorial honors did not appear, how
yer, and so Mr.. J. NJ. Todd filled the bill He
explained how greenbacks might be made per
cent. better than gold; how we might get back
to the prosperous (?) times that we enjoyed
during the war; told the old story of the man
who buys 100000 worth of bonds with capi-
tai Of $4,000, and in other ways proved that
he had not read Chase's Chron' Gle in vain. The
meeting needed little Expansion to make
it a numerical success but it was doubtless en-
joyed by those present.

Fatal H esulf.

Neal B. True of Pownal, the young man who
was injured by the cars a few weeks ago while
crossing the track of the Portland s. Ogdens-
burg r, e., died from the effect of his injuries
on Tuesday of the present week. Mr.. True
was young man of excellent character, of
fine physical appearance and manly bearing.
or the thirteen young ladies and gentlemen
who graduated with him from the Freeport High
School at its last commencement no one had
more promising prospect of long and useful
life than he, yet upon his very entrance into
its active duties he fell. His conduct among
his associates everywhere gained for him their
respect esteem and friendship.
He will be much missed by large circle OF
friends and acquaintances. who will long re-
member his agreeable disposition, his gentle
manners and his thoughtfulness of others. We
feel that in his death not only have his parents
lost dutful son, his associates an esteemed
COT panion, his town valuable citizen, but
also the state and nation share in the loss, for
it is upon our young men who are known to be
honest, industrious and capable that the future
progress and prosperity of our state and nation

List Of Premiums Awarded.

Yesterday was the closirg day of the New
England Fair and while the attendance was
smaller than on the previous days of the week
the number present was very satisfactory.
Great many persons who had come some dis
tance started for their homes yesterday, thus
lessening the attendance. The removal of the
stock and implements from the Park COM
menced at noon, and the goods in the hall will
be taken away today.
The success of the Fair is due to the COM
bined efforts of the officers, who have left no
step untaken to have things move smoothly To
Mr.. Wasson, the retiring Secretary, the report
ers owe great debt. Through his instrumen-
tality an official reporter has been employed to
furnish lists of the entries and premiums as
fast as received. This has saved the reporters
much hard work and has insured official lists
of every entry and premium. Mr.. Wasson's
labors as Secretary of the State Society for
number of years have been very satisfactory,
and it is with the kind wishes of great num-
Der that he retires from the position which he
has filled SO well. Truly he has been the right
man in the right place.
