ALUCKY DISCOVERY.
Letters Relating to an Important Con-
tract Discovered in the Lining OF an
Old Trunk.

In the year 1872 contract was made by the
Maine Central Railroad with 9 man named
Frye, to run the stages from Newport to Dex-
ter and Moosehead Lake, and he also had a
contract to carry the mails and passengers in
connection with the railroad. Charles f.
Hatch was Manager of the Eastern and Maine
Central roads at the time, aud j. M. Lunt now
Superintendent Of the Rochester road, was Su-
perintendent Some misunderstanding grew
out of this contract which caused both Mr. {.
Frye and the road much trouble at the time,
Mr. Frye insisting that certain letters had been
forwarded to Manager Hatch in relation to the
matter at issue, which Mr.. Hatch claimed he
had never received.
The other day President Jackson, of the
Maine Central received a letter from Mr.. Mer-
RAM, Master Of the United States steamer
Rio Bravo, stationed in the Gulf squadron, and
dated Nov 18th. Mr.. Merriam stated that in
July 1876, he came home in the steamer Mo
nongahela, which went out of commission at
Norfolk navy yard. While there he was in
need of trunk and selected one from among
the lot in the storehouse. The other day the
canvas covering of the trunk was discovered
to be in need of repair, and Merriam stripped
it off in order to replace it with new one.
Under this covering he found the long lost let
tiers relating to this contract and he accordingly
forwarded them to their proper owner. 1t is
thought these letters must have b en- handed
to brakeman or baggage master at the time,
who laid them on the trunk to attend to some
duty, and in some way they got pushed under
the covering and lost. The trunk had after
wards been sold and finally came into posses
sion of the Navy Department, and found a
resting place in the ssoreroom at the Norfolk
yard. The recovery of the letters is quite Q
valuable one for the railroad company.

Reecher in Examination.

An interesting incident occurred at the close
of Henry Ward Beecher's lecture in Farming
ton, last Wednesday. 81. 81. Richards, Esq.,,
rose and read a paper thanking the noted d.
vine for his attention and kindness to the 18th
Maine Regiment during the late war, many of
the members Of which regiment were enlisted
ia franklin county. The ''boys'' arrived in
Brooklyn, N. Y, on their way to the front, one
cold wintry night, and found that no arrange
ments had bean made for their comfort during
their stay in the city In some way Mr..
Beecher learned Of this, and he promptly sent
word to the officers, inviting the whole regi-
ment to take possession of Plymouth church.
1t is needless to say the invitation was cordially
accepted. Mr.. 3eecher took great pains to
make the men comfortable in many other ways
and was especially devoted in his attention to
the sick ones among them.
After Mr.. Richards had read his paper, he
offered resolution, rendering the thanks of
the audience to the eloquent speaker for his
kindness to their friends and neighbors, which
was unanimously adopted by rising VOTE
Mr.. Beecher rose and said he we'll re mem
bered the incident, and if he had known he
was coming to the home of that regiment,
pleasant recollection would have relieved the
tedium OF the long Journey. Adding few in

that regiment walked fifteen miles to hear Mr.
Bsecher's lecture. 1t is estima ed there were

To the Editor of the Press:
In your issue of the 7th inst reference is
made to an opinion said to have been given by
attorney General Emery of this state sig-
nifying his concurrence in an opinion of GER
tain lawyers of Massachusetts, &c. This opin-
ion, it is we'll known, was procured IN the inter-
est of riUal companies, and was intended to I-
jure the business of this company, and is based
upon erroneous assumptions both 10 regard to
the law and the charter of the company,
and holds that insurance. policies issued on the
new terms are void. IF the basis of this Opn-
ion we're Law and equity, life insurance would
