Proteus like our views concerning mail
matters have met with revolution and the
hinge they revolve on seems to be just this

do and shall advocate an increase of mail
facilities within the county, as we consider
it to the advantage of our people to have di-
rect communication with the county seat
At the same time we do not think an indie.
pendent line from here to Portland should
weaken or do away with this other route
We are informed that on every trip up the
officers of the boat are importuned to carry
mail matter through and deposit it in the
Portland post-office, and between their de-
sire to please patrons aud duty to observe
mail regulations their position is at times
embarrassing. Therefore we say the new
route will be advantageous and welcome

The Bridgeport Mystery.

The InvestigatEon--A Mimic Ball in the Brain.
 The inquest to inquire into the cause and manner of the death of MT. Luke Coyne, whose body was found on Short Beach, near Bridgeport Wednesday, was resumed before Justice Pinkerman yesterday morning. Dr. Burritt, who made post-mortem examina- indentations on the face which had probably been made by the sand and shells, as nothing was found under the skin which dispels the suppostion that the face was filled with shot as was at first thought. The doctor said that he with the assistance of Dr. Martin re moved the upper portion of the skull and then removed the brain and found large ''minie" ball imbedded therein. He thought the ball must have been fired from long distance, otherwise it would have gone con- pletely through the skull. He was of the opinion that the men had died within a very few minutes after he was hit. He thought the man had been dead from sixteen to eighteen hours when found, from the appear a--ce of the remains when he saw them Dr. Martin also testified the same in substance, and produced the ball taken from the de- ceased. The wife and two of tho de- ceased were also present, and testified that he went away from home on Tuesday morn ing about eight o'clock with the intention of going to Black Rock to sell 8 boat and said when he left the house that if he was not home by twelve o'clock they might think that he had gone to his work. Further investiga tion is being made

Henry Ward Beecher delivered the me. morial address He said: 'tFor generations to come no man will visit this beautiful hill top village who will not ask to see this mon ument l am glad to see that this service is not made to resemble funeral, for regard the prevalent customs of Christians in regard to burial as organism that would put pagans to shame. Why should men wrap themselves in the products of the midnight loom and go moaning and wailing to the grave of de- parted friend? Death is @ coronation If not with hilarity, at least with smiles, should we go to the graves of our loved ones I am glad to see October riffed to give the beauty of nature to this scene; for was there anything in the atmospheric heavens that he did not love? I know of nothing in all the history of monument building more touchlhg tnan bnls. Kings die, and mOnu- ments are built for them with money from the public treasury. We do not build SO, however. No Legislature has helped to raise this shaft. Boys have done it and mothers have also, whose boys that are gone had a home here, and men who revere the memory of good master" NIT. Beecher in closing paid tribute to the late Dr. Gum, (who died in 1681,) his capacity and ability as a teacher and his sturdy honesty and frankness and lovable nature.
 The monument stands in the village ceme- tery. At the unveiling Senator Platt, of Meriden, made a short speech. and John C. Brinsmades- principal of the ''Gunnery," &C., cepfed it in short speech in behalf of the family.
