Sudden Death of Dr.. Sturm.

The venerable DR.. William Sturm, one of
the oldest citizens of this County, being
nearly ninety years old, was discovered
dead in his bed this morning at his home
on the Warsaw Pike. In his right hand
was found clutched glass containing a
liquid supposed to be poison, which was
taken away by DR.. Williams for analysis.
A mysterious feature connected with the
old mans sudden and unaccountable death
is that yesterday morning his son, who had
engaged to do job Of hauling, hitcned up
his team to go to work. The team was
afterwards found ready for business, bot
the son could not be found, and up to this
morning was still missing.

the Union cause. The question is, what
was settled by the war? What may those
who fought for the Union justly claim; and
what ought ought those who fought for Sc
cession, faithfully to accept as the legiti-
mate results of the war?
An eminent citizen of our State. Mr..
Groesbeck, said some years ago. that "war
legislates." He regarded the new constitu-
tional amendments as part of the legisla-
ton of the war for the Union. and said,
with significant emphasis, land they will
stand" The eqnal rights amendments are
the legislation of the war for the Union.
and they ought to stand. Great wars al
ways legslate. A little more than hun
dred years ago. this land, where we now
are, was claimed and held by France. GEN
eral Wolfe, on the Plains of Abraham,
settled that claim. and the result was the
transfer of the title and jurisdiction of this
entire section of the country to England.
For few years its chief ruler was the
English King. The revolution followed,
and the question of its ownership was again
the subject of war legislation, and it be-
came part of the United States, no longer
under monarchy, but under a free Re-
publican Government.
l need not enter into any discussion OF
the causes of our civil war. We all know
that the men who planned the destruction
Of the Union and the establishment of the
Confederate States, based their attempt on
a construction of the Constitution called
the State-rights doctrine, and on the inter-
est of the people of those States in the ex-
tension and perpetuation of slavery. The
doctrine of State-rights was, that each State
was sovereign and supreme, and might
nullify the laws of the Union or secede
from the Union at pleasure. They held
that slavery was the natural and normal
condition of the colored man, and that,
therefore, slavery in this country could and
should be the cornerstone of free gov
ernment.
No man has ever stated the issues of the
civil war more fully, more clearly, or more
accurately than Mr. Lincoln. In any in
quiry as to what may fairly be included
among the things settled by our victory, all
just and patriotic minds inatinctively turn
to Mr.. Lincoln. To him, more than to any
other man, the cause of Union and liberty
is indebted for its final triumph. Besides
with all his wonderful sagacitv, and wis
dom, and logical faculty, dwelling intently
and anx ously, prayerfully, during foul
years of awful trial and responsibility, on
the questions which were continually aris
ing to perplex and and almost confound
him, he at last became the very embod
ment of the principles by which the coun
try and its liberties we're saved. All gooc
citizens may now we'll listen to and heec
his words None have more reason to dc
it with respect and confidence, and gen

How Money was used by the Maine
Republicans.

Augusta Correspondence N. Y. Herald.
Beyond the arguments OH the stump,
distribution of political literature, bull
doing of employees and United States
pensioners, the Republicans employed
a lever which was more powerful and
effective than all the Others combined,
viz: money. They evidently had a large
fund and they expended it judiciously
and to the best advantage. 1t was
raised at home and the national COM
mittee gave permission to the State
committee to draw upon it for as large
a sum as might be necessary to buy the
State. All the Republican State and
national officials were assessed five per
cent on their salaries, while all the can.
didates were mercilessly bled to raise
an immense corruption fund. One of
the mail route agents on the train from
Bangor to Portland was assessed $42. SO
on his salary of $3.50, and I suppose he
paid it, for he is still running on the
train, and that would not be possible
had he refused. A country postmaster
in this district, with q salary of S45,
was forced to disgorge $3.25 as his
share OF the fund. Voters were bought
in this city like sheep in the shambles,
and the same was true in the other cit
les and many of the larger towns in the
State. The price paid for votes varied,
and was somewhat Smaller than in for
mer years. I am told that S5, $40, SIS
and $50 were paid, and in some in
stances $25 and $50 and even as high as
S45 were paid for single vote in the
close districts.
1t is an encouraging thought that af.
ter next year, if the biennial constitu-
tional amendment be adopted, as now
appears to be the case, the moral sense
of the people will not be offended by
the disgraceful spectacle of vote-buy-
ing but once in two years. &

!. T.. Z. Leonard openei the next topic
--Ho,o TO induce Chrch Members to take
an dctire part in the Sabbath School.
Some lively and cutting remarks were
made on this important subject. The
delinquencies cf some of our church
members in the Sunday school work.
were held up IN their true light.
The questions iu the box-some very
important ones--were disposed of.
Evening session opened in the usual
form. The church was filled with an
attentive audience, eager to hear the
discussions Of the convention.
Rev. ). Smith read an essay on The
Importance, Necessity and Prdcticdbility
Of establishing Sunday schools mdcr the
name and direct Supervision cf oar
Church. The speaker described briefly
the rise, progress and prosperity of our
church. To be successful we must not
overlook the Sunday school. When.
ever and wherever practicable we must
organize an Ev. Sunday school. Our
interests, especially our publishing in
terests demand it. The essay was excel,
lent throughout, and its prominent fea-
ture was loyalty to the church.
G. t. Deininger followed in an elo-
quent speech IN favor of denominations
al Sunday schools. The speaker was
willing to concede the same right to
others which he claimed himself.
Revs. Shortess, Weidenm"yer and
the p. E. also male short, pointed ad-
dI esses on the same subject.
c. +. Deininger opened the topic
The Duty and Importance Of ,Gsing our
O,Cn Literature IN our OtCn Sunddy
schools. The speaker related some OF
his own personal experience while Ia
boring as missionary on the Pacific
coast, lie also showed the abundance
and proved the cheapness of our Sun
day school literature.
Others also spoke on this topic aud
the convention seemed to be unit on
the question.
Question box opened and questions
read and answered by members of the
convention. Some of these questions
were of much Importance.
Votes of thanks were returned rs fol.
lows:
To the kind friends of Millheim for
their hospitality;
To the choir for its excellent music;
and
To the ministers and other delegates
of the convention, by the friends and
citizens Of Millheim, for their attend
ance at the same.
Minutes of to-day's sessions read
and approved.
A very commendable feature of the
convention was the excellent music
furnished by the choir, under the lea
dership Of Rev. w. H. Hartman.
RESOLUTIONS.

ny localities is not fully awake TO her
own developement-failing to mani
fest a proper interest in The Sunday
school work.
