The Infantry Flag.

The elegant flag, mentioned in Saturdays
PRESS, was presented to the Infantry Saturday
evening at the company's armory. 1t was a
gift from their honorary members and friends.
Capt Weston and Lieut. Norton thanked
them in well chosen words for the gift. The
old flag, which has been la away among the
relics of the company, has quite history. The
flag was manufactured by DR.. Edward Mason
in July, 1859. 1t was unfurled for the first
time on the 29th of July in that year. the oe-
casion being the annual excursion of the COM
pany On that day the Infantry, sixty mon
strong, under Capt. Albion Witham, started
from this city for Montreal. On their arrival
in that city they were met by about 400 of the
Montreal militia, (whose guests they were),
the mayor, members of the city government,
and above $4,000 spectators, and as they
marched through the city were most enthusi-
astically received. DR.. Mason was then En-
sign of the Infantry and proudly bore their
new banner If we may believe the Montreal
newspapers he had the honor on that day Of
carrying the first American flag which had en-
tered Canada in q time of peace.

A great deal of earn est work is being crowd
ed into these closing days of the campmeeting.
It is now fully decided to close the meeting

Der was somewhat larger. The campmeeting
proper will end tonight but revival services
will be continued through tomorrow.
Last evening there was preaching at the

he render unto him, and cause every man to
find according to his ways''-Job xxxiv:11

Steamer Richmond.

Steamer City of Richmond now lies off Com
mercial wharf, Rockland, where she was tow
ed and where efforts were made Fri lay to raise
her high enough, by means of the steam light
ers, to get her on the beach where the tide
would leave her, in order that temporary re-
pairs might be made. Saturday night, how
ever, one of the four heavy spars which were
chained across the wreck, and were resting up
on the sloops and lighters on either side, sud-
denly broke. The rising tide brought the
strain upon it, and the other spars were then
eased up, and the plan of opera tons changed.
A large sail has been procured, which will be
doubled and drawn under the Richmond's bow
and secured SO as to temporarily patch the
break. She will then be pumped out and
taken to Portland for thorough reconstruction.
Her upper works, forward and aft, above the
main deck, are nearly all gone, but her hull,
aft of the break in her bow, is said to be sound.
Her hog frames do not appear to be started,
and the machinery is in good condition.

Sudden Death.


Saturday night about midnight, as officers
Gill and Libby were passing along their beat
on Lincoln street their attention was called to
house No. 102, occupied by Mr.. VIM. Grace,
from which the cries of a woman were issuing.
On entering they found Mrs. Grace suffering
from some cause unknown. No one was with
her except her son, boy about eleven years OF
age. The officers did everything possible to
relieve her and sent the boy after physician,
but before he arrived the woman fell dead on
the floor. Coroner Gould was summoned, and
he, with the City Pysician, Dr. Cummings,
made thorough investigation Of her condi-
ton yesterday They make the following re-
port:
In regard to the death of Mrs. Grace, on
Lincoln street, Saturday evening, the coro-
ner and physician, who called Immediately at
ter her death, desire to state that the immedi-
ate cause of death was paralysis OF the heart,
and that there is no evidence that death was
caused by bodily injuries or by any medicines
taken.
The medicine presumed to contain lauda-
mum contained no form of opium or other dan
gerou5 drug.
JAMES S. GOULD. Coroner,

y The husband is baker with Rice & Calder
wood, on Union street, but cannot be found.
He told his son Saturday night he was going
off to try and get rest. A telegram sent to his
brother in Boston, yesterday, where it was
supposed the husband had gone, ELECTED the
following reply:
got telegram. Alice away. Will go if 1
can. JAMES GRACE.
A thorough invest gation will be made by
the Marshal Both parties have an ex cellent
character.
T. s-Since the above was written tidings
have been received from the husband. After
the despatch was sert to the little Grace boy
here by his uncle in Boston, another one was
sent to Harry Newton, the barber, inquiring
if the report that his brothers wife was dead
was true. Newton replied confirming the re-
port, and in short time time he received
another despatch stating his brother would ar
rive in Portland on the noon train to- day.

manageable, running into pile of stone at
the end of the bridge The carriage was over

bone She is very feshy and heavy but it is
hoped she will recover.
