New Mail Arrangements.

The train which leaves this city for Boston
over the Eastern road at p m. carries the
through mail from Portland and the east. Its
time of arriving in Boston is $50, but there is
not time to connect with the through mail
train to the west. By new arrangement
complete connection is made, SO that there is
no delay with eastern mails, and letter by
this mail will go dirt ct to the west by what is
known as the fast through mail train. This is
accomplished by having au engine in waiting
at Ipswich. The train reaches there at 4.15
the mail car is detached and taken by the
waiting engine, and arrives in Boston some
% minutes in advance Of the regular train,
thus giving ample time to connect with the
western mail train.

A MAINE MAN MISSING.
Information Desired in Regard to the
Whereabouts of James M. Smith.

A Socorro, New Mexico, dispatch to the San
ia Fe New Mexican, dated October 31st, is as
follows:
Every effort to ascertain the whereabouts
of J. M. Smith, Black Range miner, who
has valuable property there and who went east
in August last and was at Portland, Maine, on
September End, and who left for New York
city, to stop at the Columbia House, on or
about the 10th of September, has failed. No
tidinss of him can be obtained and it is feared
that he has been foully dealt with. Informa-
tion of his Whereabouts or his demise will be
gladly received by the postmaster at Grafton,
Socorro County, New Mexico. He was about
thirty-seven years of age; wore dark brown
moustache; is about five feet four inches high
and heavy set. He had about $4,000 with
him.
The James M. Smith referred to in the above
dispatch came to Maine after an absence of
many years in the mining districts of the great
southwest to visit for a brief time the scenes of
his youth. Mr. Smith was in Bangor on the
29th day of August last and the editors of the
Maine Mining Journal remember a pleasant
call which he made at their Office on that day.
Mr.. Smith left that day to visit his old home
in Orland, Hancock county, and that is the
latest they have heard directly from HIM.
From the startling dispatch recorded above,
it appears that there is much cause for alarm.
III any one has any information which will
throw light on the whereabouts of the missing
individual it should be given to the public.

L5LaQ6l OOOO.
Mr. Lemuel Cobb, whose death was an
nounced Saturday, was one of Portland's old
est merchants. He was born in Cape Eliza
beth and lived on his fathers farm until about
eighteen years Of age, when he came to this
city and entered the employ of Mr.. Rackleff as
a clerk. He served there a number of years,
after which he went into business for himself
on Commercial wharf, carrying on a grocery
,rade In 1874 he admitted as partner Win
throp S. Jordan, who had been clerk for him
three years, and they continued the business
until 1864, when Mr.. Cobb retired. During
these twenty years the firm removed from
Commercial wharf to what was known as the
Willis block, where Hodgdon Bros now are,
and afterwards to the head of Custom House
wharf, where Mr.. Jordan now is. In the early
part of 1866 Mr.. Cobb again entered business
in the same old place on Commercial wharf
and continued there for several months, until
after the fire, when he again sold out and re-
tired finally from active business pursuits, and
moved to Cape Elizabeth, to the old home
stead, where he resided until the day of his
death.
Mr.. Cobb was man whom to know was to
respeet-a merchant Of the old school, chary of
giving his word and scrupulous in keeping it;
honest and charitable in his dealings with his
fellows; just to his creditors and generous to
his debtors. He was reserved in manner, reti-
cent in speech, modest even to a fault, but
liberal and warm-hearted; given to the support
of all objects which enlisted his sympathy or
were approved of by his judgment Those
brought into business relations with him placed
great rust in his sagacity; and men in his en-
ploy ere wont to go to him for advice or en-
couragement or other form of help, putting
implicit faith in his counsel, and hope, never
misplaced, in his kindliness. He was one of
the most active and liberal supporters of the
First Baptist church of this city, and Chris
tian whose practice always kept pace with his
professions. He leaves to his children name
they should be proud to bear and an example
they shoul be eager to foil ow.
