RECENT DEATHS.
Capt. Eben Lane of Yarmouth.

Capt. Eben Lane Of Yarmouth.
Capt Eben Lane died in Yarmouth last Fri
day, at the age of Ga years. He was born in
the town of Gray, and moved to Yarmouth
some thirty years ago. While in Yarmouth he
became identified with the business interests of
the place. For many years he followed the
sea as ship-master, and during the last years OF
his life he was largely interested in shipping,
and in navigation in general. In his business
he has been good, reliable man-faithful to
the interests of others committed to his charge.
Owing to his failing health he has had for the
past few years more business than he was
really able to look after
For some two or three years he had been
troubled with heart complaint and knew
that he was liable to be taken away at any
time. During the winter his health had been
poor and about the first of April he was taken
worse at his heart and lungs, and from that
time till his death he was terrible sufferer
He was naturally strong constitutional man,
and was able to resist his disease for long
time, but he grew weaker and weaker till death
came to release him from his suffering.
He has buried wife and four sons, and in
the early part of his sickness he spoke calmly
OF dying and meeting them in the spirit world.
He was a good citizen, and in his dealings
with his fellow-men was honest and upright
He was kind to the poor and unfortunate, and
there are those who may read this that will
long remember the kindness of Captain Lane
with feelings of gratitude.
In his last sickness he was patient and sub
missive, and though his suffering was great,
he bore it with a fortitude truly Christian, and
when the end came he passed away quietly
as child would drop asleep. He leaves three
daughters to whom he was kind and indul-
gent father, two sisters and a brother, and a
large circle of friends. He will be missed in
business circles, in his community, and most of
all in his home.
DR.. Thomas j. Corson.
A private telegram from Trenton, N. j.,
brought the intelligence that DR.. Thomas j.
Corson, well known in the medical and ma
sonic circles of our state, died Saturday morn
ing at S.15. He was failing in health when he
last visited Portland, to attend the meeting of
the Supreme Council in 1875, and for some
months past has been confined to his bed He
was an able and genial writer, and had many
warm friends throughout the country who will
mourn deeply for him.

Far beyond the fields lies smoothly-mown

Tuesday night Miss Charlotte Thompson, an
actress whose abilities place her ON the highest
rounds of the dramatic ladder, who possesses
in addition to her qualifications as an actress
those charms of person which fortune rarely
bestows on one so gifted will essay the same
character. Miss Thompson will be supported
by Mr.. W. E. Sheridan as Ingomar, part to
which we should imagine that that actor is
singularly adapted. Mr.. Sheridan was leading

HOW BRATTLEB)Ro WOMAN WAS HEALED.
Correspondence Of the Boston Journal
An item concerning an alleged case Of
miraculous healing at Brattleboro has gone
the rounds of the State papers, exciting no
little interest in the minds of our people,
who naturally desire to obtain additional
particulars concerning SO remarkable an
affair. Your correspondent is indebted to
the lady thus cured, Mrs. l.. II. Davis, for a
minute and interesting account Of the event.
Her only object IN giving it to the public
is.' she says. that God may be more glori-
fed thereby
The lady in question is native of Chester
county, Pennsylvania. where she had al
ways lived previous to her coming to Brat
tleborO, iOur years since. She became
Christian when Is years of age. and five
years later united with the church. Eigh-
teen months ago she was Frustrated by ner-
vousness, Occasioned by complication Of
several diseases, suffering intensely from
pains in the head, spine, heart and stomach.
She employed skilful physician,
but his efforts were not efectual in pro-
ducing other than temporary relief. Mrs.
Dayi-'s statement OF the way in
which she was cured il a. follows After
suffering eighteen months, and not having
been dressed during that time, and beliey-
ing that all had been done that could be
done, began to inquire what must d. Tor

send relief Immediately, | must perish. On

tion for what had been done for me
Since Mrs. Davi-'s recovery she has had
good appetite and sleeps well. She Is able
To walk IN the street, and has felt no return
of her terrible disease. Whatever opinion
others may hold. Mrs. Davis attributes her
cure IN answer to prayer, and delights IN
quoting the passage from the 1884 Palm
BLESS the Lord, o my soul, and forget not
all His benefits who iOrgiveth all thine in
iquIties who healeth all thy diseases who
redeemeth thy lite from destruction who
crowneth thes with loving kindness and ten
