The death of this venerable man was an
nounced by telegraph, and now by mail we get
the particulars of his end. His physician
could discover no apparent disease on the day
of his death, which was consistent with his
whole life-giding along to its end with no
jar, and giving no offence nor trouble to any
one.
On the morning of his death he had been ad-
justed in his easy-chair as usual, and fell
asleep. He did not wake until past noon,
when he inquired Of his daughter, as though
he was dreaming, if his feet were 10 the right
way. She replied that they were all right He
then said, "Tnag feet are in the right ,yay aciN
naoUe on" and his breathing gradually ceased,
without struggle, having lived within four
years of full century. Until within a week
of his end be had been daily reader Of the
Portland PRESS, but he had ceased writing, ex-
cept to sign bis name, two or three months
previous.
Very few in Our State have had better oppor-
tunities to acquire wesh than Mr.. freeman.
He was well-read lawyer, but his patrimony
put him beyond want, and he was naturally a
peace-maker. He sometimes spent days in
efforts to obtain peaceful settlements between
parties who applied to him to prosecute or de-
fend their claims before the courts, in which
he was usually successful. He formerly owned
the very large tract of land now imposing the
towns of Steuben, Millbridge Harrington, and
part of Cherry6eld And yet with all these
opportunities TO accumulate wealth, he left
comparatively small estate. The great OBJ
ject Ct his life seems to have been to benefit his
fellow-meD, and for this he had the respect ana
esteem of all in bis region. VIC

Mr.. EDIToR:-Political excitement runs

never were before s-d are determined to re-
gain their laurels lo' last spring by the COM

reproachable reputation. A blemish in his
character can hardly be found. The Demo-

the police department, have been ably manag.

effort the past year is undoubted, but if again
placed in power it is quite probable they may
fall into wonted corruption, for the true Demo-
cratic spirit must be manifested sooner or later,

Towards Varieties Come to Grief.

The new variety theatre, established by Mr..
W. 81. Howard in Music Hall, has come to
grief after two performances. Mr.. Howard,
the manager, left town yesterday morning
without saying good bye. aud it looks as if he
had gone to stay. 1t is possible he went to
Bath and Lewiston to arrange for his COM
paDy's visiting those towns, Friday and Satur.
day, or he may have gone to Boston to collect
some money TO pay salaries, and will return.
He was last seen at the City Hotel, about fif-
teen minutes before the departure of yesterday
mornings Boston train.
Howa1d's departure may have been Influenced
by the action of MIR. Martin, proprietor of the
City Hotel, who told Howard Tuesday night,
after gazing upon the empty seats in Music
Hall. to pay up or take his company out of his
house. Mr. Martin had collected $32 80, so he
loses but little. The Prescott Sisters have
money enough to take them to Boston, but the
rest of ths company are "dead broke" not hav-
ing been paid a cent. Mr.. Howard owes the
printers, rent of hall, bill posters, etc.
When Mr.. Howard came here he did not ap-
pear familiar with the business was not known
to the profession, and Mr.. Joe Harrison, the
stage manager, has done most of the work.
Mr.. Harrison is placed in q particularly unfor.
tunate position, as he has wife and child
There have been two men intimate with Mr..
Howard, one Of whom says he has lost $50 by
the acquaintance aud the other 500. The first
one says he met Mr.. Howard in Colon, Central
America. He, the stranger, was a sailor on a
vessel, and Howard got a berth as steward
of the same craft. He claimed to belong to
San Francisco. What the poor stranded peo-
pie Ewil do we do not know. Any sums
lett at this office for their relief will be proper
| ly distributed. There are six of them in all.
