Dea. Samuel Davis of Alfred died Decem-
Der 6, at the age of "a years 1 month and IL
days. Four years ago he had a severe attack
Of erysipelas, and since that time he has grad
ually failed-the immediate cause of his death
being heart disease. Mr.. Davis was born in
Alfred, lived and died upon the homestead of
his childhood, and followed farming for a live
lihood. In 1858 he united with the Baptist
Church in Alfred, and was soon chosen Dea-
con of the churct, serving to the time of his
death. His life and character were without
reproach. He reared large family, many OF
whom he lived to bury. One of his children
was Charles 81. Davis, late Master of the
House of Correction, late of Boston, Mass.
another, Sylvester L. DAVIS, late of Boston.
He leaves widow and three sons, Rev. G..
w Davis of Chicopee, Mass, B. F. Davis, in
business in Boston, and F. S. Davis, living in
the old homestead. He will be missed in the
church and community where he lived.

Return of the Phalanx.

The Lowell Courier says:-"The Mechanic
Phalanx returned from their Portland visit
last evening well satisfied with their trip.
They had glorious reception at the hands of
the Cadets. There was general display of
bunting, the Falmouth Hotel was decorated
inside and out, the troops we're received with
a salute of seventeen guns, and everybody
seemed disposed to make the greeting very
hearty. The streets were rather muddy for
parade, but that was the only annoyance. The
ball was brilliant in the highest degree. and
the drill of the Phalanx was fine feature of
the programme. Thirteen dances were on the
order, and the music furnished by Chandler's
Band was highly praised. The Cadets spent
yesterday forenoon with their visitors at the
roller skating rink on invitation of Mr. FL. E.
Reed, of this city, its manager.
On the way home the Brown Light Artillery,
of Portland, through Frank NJ. Merrill of this
city as spokesman, presented the Mechanic

amounting on New Years, 1888, to nearly one
hundred millions of dollars, belongs to the in

and gives his dance for the pleasure of Miss
Eastwood, his acting in the drinking den of

which he saves his daughter from peril, all
show the finished artist.

NOTES.
The use of cosmetics for improving the COM
plevion is very injurious. Miss Troy, an ac-
tress, died recently in New Orleans of blood
poisoning, caused by cosmatics used to make
up her face for certain parts. Miss Troy has
appeared in Portland frequently with travel
ing companies.
The business at all the New York theatres
has fallen off somewhat this week, probably
owing to the extraordinarily large business of

The Express says The other day lady liv-
ing on Munjoy Hill made a fine large doll for
Christmas present for her little fonr-year-old
girl, and went down town and bought pair
of tiny shoes for the doll. The little girl got a
glimpse of the shoes and would have them to
play with. She took them to bed with her at
night, but when she awoke the shoes were
gone. She asked her mother who took the
shoes and was told 1T must have been Santa

RAILROAD NOTES.
A Check on Conductors.

a OHGCK Oh COnUuCJOfE,
A new system of duplex tickets and conduc-
tors reports has bern adopted on the Boston
and Maine road this week. Each passengers
who pays his fare in the cars pays certain
amount over the ticket office rate to Boston,
and receives Communication ticket in return,
good for almost all the difference at any of the
ticket offices of the road. Each conductor is
obliged to fill out a blank for each trip, giving
the number of tickets he receives, the amount
OF fare which they represent as being paid per
ticket, and to make footing of the amount of
money represented by the tickets as being
paid. By this course the net receipts from
each train can be pretty well ascertained
There also more stringent rules regarding
the freight conductors accounts, which went
