GOrham,

The funeral of Mrs. Rev. Joseph Colby of
Gorham occurred Wednesday afternoon in the
Methodist Episcopal charcb. The church was
tastt fully draped in recognition of the grief Of
respected pastor. At the head of the casket
was placed q beautiful floral pillow, upon
which was inscribed the word Crest" Near
by we're cross and crown of white flowers.
Rev. Parker Jaques conducted the services, as
sisted by Revs. G. j. CLARK and J. r. Day of
Portland, and Rev. G. w. B;adlee of Alfred.
Appropriate and appreciative remarks were
made by Rev. Messrs 1. Luce and G. Perry
Rev. Mr. Huntington, the Copgrega nationalist
minister of the place, concluded the solemn
exercises with fervent prayer for the afflicted
family The thronged church, the costly and
beautiful floral offerings, the tender sympathy
of all present, told palmer than spoken eulogies
could of the high esteem With which this noble
woman was regarded by her neighbors and &C.
quaintances. Mrs. Colby was an intelligent
Christian ardently devoted to the church of
her choice; eminently discreet in her counsels
and though of retiring nature, Jealous in
Christian labor even beyond her strength. She
has entered into rest.

EXERCISE is as essential as breathing itself.
Without it there can be no healthy and beauti-
full growth. 1t prolongs life, and greatly i'm
proves living; it better fits Us for our duties;
without it, we do not more than half live. He
only who exercises sufficiently can know the
joy Of living well, of good health, good Appetite
good digestion, refreshing sleep. 1t increases
respiration, thus bringing larger quantity of
that "elixir of life," oxygen, to purify and
vitaize the blood. 1t rounds and hsrdens the
muscles, and educates them into ever-ready,
faithful and efficient servants of the will. 1t
strengthens every part Of the system. 1t invig-
crates the mind, and renders it more active and
efficient in all its operations; in shoSt it is one
of the great natural agents which will enable
man to reach that state of ply steal, mental and
moral perfection for which he was designed b
his Creator
The activity of the muscles is also highly
conducive to the well-being of many other i'm
portant functions. The blood is assisted in its
course; accumulation in the internal organs is
prevented; the important processes of diges-
tiop, respiration, accretIons, absorption and
nutrition are promoted, and the health of the
whole body Immediately influenced. The mind
is greatly exhilarated.

W1LHELMJ is COMING.-Thursday evening
next Wllhemj, the great violiuist, appears at
City Hall. 1t should be unnecessary to be-
speak for him crowded house. How he was
received in Boston will be seen BY the follow
ing from the staid aud critical Boston Adyer-
tiser:
Herr Wilhelmj's triumph over all his listen
ers was complete, and no victory was ever more
plainly that of mind over mind. He has OBJ
taiueG an absolute mastery over the technical
part of his art; and musicians know what fine
aptitude, what heroism in extreme toll, what
persistence and what zeal are implied 10 this
simple statement; but beyond and above even
these, he has largeness, a firmness, and
modesty of spirit, strength and breadth Of in
tel!ectual grasp, and poetic constituencies to
beauty in all it's shades, which unite in eeyat-
ing him from the rank of clever performer to
that OF great artist. He has reached that
supreme height of power where there is no
longer any appearance of effort. HIS tone we
have never heard equaled,-even by Wieniaw-
power, its purity, its sustained sweetness are
simply unique In the Ernst fantastic Will
helDJ used, to the full. his opportunity, and
tue wild pictutesqueness and passionate life of
Hungarian music never found better inter-
prefer. Twice he was recalled, and twice COM
PEELED to play beyond what was assigned to him
in the programme. The audience entirely sue
cambed to the great artist, and cool Boston has
seldom been more moved ont of itself than dur.
Ing his last two numbers.

FIRE.-Yesterday morning at about three
O'Clock an alarm of fire was sounded from box
g. The fire proved to be in the large two
story and half wooden building on CONNER
cial street at the corner of Sturdiyants wharf
1t was discovered by woman living in the
next building, who heard the cracking OF the
fra. The building was occupied for sash,
door and blind factory and by several Offices.
Notwithstanding the fire department was
promptly on hand, the fire had made such
Roadway and the contents were OF
such an infammable nature-the building and
contents were badly damaged. From the fact
that the fire started 10 one or two places in the
rear part of the building where there had been
no fire, it is thought that it must have been the
work of an incendisry,
The building is owned by Capt. Isaac +.
Sturdivant, who estimates his loss st about
$3.50, and upon which there was $1,000 insur-
ance, in the Springfield company, at the agen-
cy of Prentiss Loring. Messrs. Farnbam &
Carlton who carried on the factory, estimate
their loss upon stock at nearly the amount for
which 1t was insured, viz: $4,000. The iDsur-
ancs was distributed in the following compan'
les: State of Pennsylvania $500, Exchange Of
Now York $1,000, Boston Underwriters $1,000
at the agency of Warren Sparrow. The books
and papers in this firms Office were much in-
iured by tie water, and several important
important books are missing, which may IN
crease their loss considerably.
Msssrs. VIM. 81. Smonton and Jerome
Rumery, who had Offices on the first floor,
met with no loss, their things being safely re.
moved.

LIMERICK, Nov 49,
The hard times of the average Greenback
orator Of three months ago have not prevented
us from observing. Thanksgiving in the spirit
and manner of TIE olden times We are very
quiet withal, and except for the anxious rnn-
ming to and fro yesterday Of belated parties in
search of turkeys, the festival of the Puritan
year would have come unheralded.
To-day bsing rainy there is but little
cunning, though we have heard a few
reports
A discourse was delivered in the Free
Baptist church this morning by the Rev. Mr..
Peekham.
The present has been the best adapted
autumn for "fall work. which has been
generally improved, that we have had for
many years. People were blowing yesterday
apparently suffering no Inconvenience from
ths approaches of j4ck fcost.
Considering that all crops with the exception
of potatoes have been good, we have great
cause for thankfulnes,, though the abundant
yield of apples will probably prevent very
enthusiastic temperance revival the coming
winter. REESE.

YORK COUNTY.
Buxton has a haunted house. Strange noises
are heard in two story brick building owned
by Nathaniel NJ. Came. o. one occasion some
neighbours passing by the house saw lights In
some Of the rooms, and on inquiry It was
found that the whole family we're at O neigh
bors' passing the evening. At the same time
noise as of some one violently closing doors
was heard within. Strange rs IL may appear,
it is said that these uncanny disturbsrs Of the
peace have mortal appetites like the rest Of rs,
and as pieces OF pork are occasionally missing
from the pork barrel it would seem that they
prefer that article Of diet to any other.
