THE THoMAs-CARY CONCERT.

THE TaOMAs-CARY CONCERT.
1t appears that the failure of the Thomas
Cary concert is due to Mr.. A. P. Peck, Boston
manager of the Thomas orchestra. He claims
the recent hot weather so affected the atten-
management in Boston, that he feared great
loss if he continued them. Therefore he can
celled all the engagements for concerts to be
given after Saturday last including the one in
Portland. Arthur Thomas, Theodore's
brother, was here Saturday, and said Mr..
Thomas was exceedingly indignant. One
would think man of Mr.. Peck's experience
would carry out his contracts. At ali events
he has inflicted an injury on the concert bust

An adjourned meeting of the Association
was held in the reading room OF the Army &
Navy Union Saturday evening. to hear the re-
port OF the committee on resolutions chosen
one week ago, and to act upon any other mat
tiers relating to the death of their comrade DR..
N. A. Hersom. Col. 7. A. Roberts presided.
In the absence of the chairman of the COM
mittee Secretary j. o. Rice presented the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, The sad news of the decease un-
der peculiarly painful and distressing circum-
stances, at Dublin, Ireland, May 1, 1881, Of
Dr. Nahum A. Hersom, late Surgeon of the
18th Maine Volunteers has been received now
therefore III commemoratiOn of the esteem of
his fellow soldiers and in recognition of the
self-sacrifcing spirit and that whole-hearted
and UNMARRIED attention shown by him to his
health, comfort and welfare of others while in
the service of his country and in private life.
always unmindful of himself and disreearding
the advances of the disease which preyed upon
MN; IN recognition OF his unalloyed tender
ness and goodness of heart, his purity of life
his staunch friendship and loyalty to all who
reposed confidence i'll him; and his sterling
worth as citizen and his skill as physician;
therefore be it
Resotyed, That in the death of DR.. Hersom
WO AOcoSuiLo tuc lO5S VI d Iona ana noble
friend, true and patriotic soldier and an
eminent physician, whose devotion to the
duties OF his profession doubtless shortened
most brilliant and honorable career; that we
recall with mingled sadness aud respect the
rapid lnroads made upon the health of our
departed friend, While laboring for the welfare
OF his comrades during the campaigns of Chan.
cellorville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness and
Petersburg, his arduous labors in camp and
hospital, his unflinching bravery and surgical
skill upon the field OF battle, and, above all,
his accomplishing and never ceasing courage
IN attempting to battle with tho physical dis
abilities which he contracted in the service
while mnistering to our necessities; that to
his constant devotion and skilful tire ,trnent we
gratefully attribute the saving OF the health
and even the lives of many OF our comrades;
that while We bow with resignation to the
DIVINE VIII, we can but feel that the loss of
no member OF our regiment could have cast a
deeper gloom upon its members than that of
the lamented Hersom; that while we proudly
watched his rising eminence as physician we
hoped that in spite of his feeble health he
might have been spared for many years to en-
able him to more fully accomplish the aims of
noble ambition. We now offer to his afflicted
family and his numerous friends and relatives
our sincere and heartfelt sympathies for the
loss which they sustain in common with our
selves.
ResotUed, That, as token of respect, these
resolutions be spread upon the records of our
association, and that copies be furnished to
the family of the deceased, and to the daily
papers of the city of Portland, where he re-
sided, for publication.

O. M. Consens A pain

The Cumberland Globe says that it is now
believed to be certain that o. NJ Cousens will
start an independent church at Bridgton. His
meetings will be held in Central Hall instead
of the Universalist church, the ladies of the
latter denomination who own the furniture
threatening to remove it if the church is OPEN
ed to him. The same paper is authority for
the statement that Mr.. Cousens friends claim
that the letters recently published in the
PRESS are helping HMM establishing his
new church is meant, we presume. One Of
the letters referred to contained tie statement
that Mr. Cousens had been convicted by jury
composed of clergymen of the Methodist con-
ference of choking his wife and putting her
under the pump occasionally. Perhaps if Mr.
Cousens' friends would have lot of chromos
depicting his performance at the pump struck
off and distributed the independent church
boom might be still further accelerated there
by If thought desirable these chromos might
be offered as prizes for new converts.
