A Word Of Warming.

MIR. EDIToR:-We learn that certain Repuh-
licans in Ward who are dissatisfied with Mr..
behring's nomination for alderman are talking
OF voting for Mr.. Plaisted, the Democratic
candidate. We hope they will pause moment
and reflect before they do it. Let each one
ask himself the question, do 1 by any act in
tend to give the Fusion party control of the
check lists in this city?' A Democratic board
OF aldermen would add to the voting lists all
the tramps, aliens and brlmmers thin fifty
miles OF our city, and vote them next Septem-
Der. Mr.. Deering was fairly nominated, is the
regular party candidate, and is a Republican
His opponent has the nomination of the Dem
ocratic and Greenback parties combined, and
man is known by thu company he keeps.
Ihls Is year when men should sink their
little preiudices and jealousies out of sight for
the good of the cause.
Ii you want to endo ,rse the disfranchisement
Oh Portland, vote for Plaisted. He would vote
with his party if they stole dozen States.
Under the guise of being Indifferent in politi-
Cal matters he is one of the bitterest Democrats
IN the city. There is nothing his party would
demand OF him he would not do.
In conclusion, Re publicans of Ward 5, let me
say that for some " ears past you have labored
under the imput alton of being a doubtful
W ara and you have nearly every year met this
charge by giving % good handsome Republican
majority. There are unpleasant rumors ahoat
about you now. The enemy hope by still
disappointment. Don't endorse Garcelon and
ms steal, but give us good report next Mon
day by eecting the whole ticket.

JOSeph r. Lake

Mr.. Joseph F. Lake, of this city, died at his
residence on Federal street yesterday morn
ing, from the effects of wound received in
service in 1868. Mr.. Lake enlisted as a private
in Co. A., in the 18th Maine Vols, and served
with great credit in all the engagements of his
regiment up to the time of receiving his
wound, and having been promoted to sergeant,
was detailed to carry the colors of the regi-
ment, which he did at Charlottesville and
Gettysburg. At Gettysburg six of the eight
members of the color-guard were killed or dis
abled by wounds, and Sergeant Lake carried
off both stands of colors. 1t was wonderful
that he escaped alive, as terrific fire was di-
rected toward the centre of the regiment
where the colors were. At the battle of Lo-
Gust Grove in November 1868, Sergeant Lake
was on duty with his company, which, with
companies B and E of the same regiment were
subjected to terrible enfilading musketry fire.
Lake, while loading and firing, received
wound in front Of his right thigh, the ball
passing through and coming out near the left
thigh, passing just in front of the spine. He
coolly told his captain, afterwards Col. Mat
tocks, who stood near him. that he had been
wounded, and requested him to cut loose his
belt and cartridge-box, as the weight was op-
pressive. Soon afterwards he was carried to
the rear and for long time his life was
despaired of. That man could live seventeen
years after receiving such wound is wonder
even to the medical fraternity. Notwithstand-
ing the severity of his sutferings, Mr. Lake
has always borne his lot cheerfully and has
never wavered in his devotion to his country.
His comrades and friends will never forget his
manly example.
From 1867 to 1878 Mr.. Lake was employed in
the custom service at this port lin the several
capacities Of inspector, storekeeper and clerk,
and always proved himself an efficient and
faithful public servant.
