For two Saturdays past we have taken
our paper knife in hand, with the intent Of
cutting open the eight page Saturday edl-
ton Of the Lewiston Journal. Each time
We found the leaves cot, aud the two sheets
neatly pasted al the back. This reminded
Us that we had failed TO speak OF the great
improvements recently made in the Lewis
ton Journal office. The proprietors have
englarged and rearranged the Office and
editorial rooms, and have made many adj
ditions to their machinery. In the last
department is new machine which
cuts, folds and pastes the eight page issues
OF Saturday, and the weekly. All eight
page papers should De cut, before they are
read. II saves much time and yeXation
lost by unfolding 4 great sheet such as
must be used to print them on. The daily
Journal is the most enterprising and met
ropolitan daily in Maine. The weekls has
no equal in its special department.

OF :. W. Fife, esq OF Fryeburg, on the
charge OF selling liquor, will pain all his
friends, and they are many in Oxford

temperance man, and we regret 10 see
that he has so FAR sacrificed his principles

press, as he admits he has done. We 10
not speak OF the legal aspect Of the case.
he nay not be guilty OF violating the law
Ths, point will be settled in court, next
March. But there was a time when Mr..
Fife would not have handled the stuff, on
aecoun, OF his moral principles. We hope
he may have good excuse for this seem
ing inconsistency.

Chilli and Peru.

Panama, 8.-The latest from Peru is TO
the 18Th of December. The American
commits toners had left Lima for Chill
the day after they arrived at Callso.
There was quite severe earthquake
Great expectations had built upon the
arrival of these gentlemen by PeruvianI
but so far as heard from nothing has
yet resulted from their visit, and affairs
remain in StGtn qaGO Il is not believed
Chill will be so rash us to threaten war
with the United States. A serious mis-
understanding between the countries is
looked upon as probable unless the dipio-
macy OF Messrs. Trescott aud Blaine
prove equal to the emergency. The
Ch!lians are 10 bad temper and will re-
quire soothing down.
The Lima correspondent of the Star
and Herald says: 1t was hoped the
American diplomstists would give some
indication regarding the purpose of their
visit 20 these countries and all Lin
waited the dread development with
anxiety. The commission, however,
sailed out Callao Bay on Christmas day,
bound for Chill, snd the general senti-
ment of national curiosity was not grti-
fed.
THE CANAL.
Work on the canal has been aim ost
wholly interrupted for the past week by
a general strike among the laborers. The
price asked is $3.50 per day. They say
that the price of rent. food, clothing,
etc., have advanced so much that il is
impossible to live at the old rate of $l.20
per day; besides which it is quite true
that the money used in paying of is at
discount of 20 per cent, amounting to
only eighty cents on the dollar. Il is
thought that the canal, railroad and
steamship companies might very well
afford to restore the currency with |
which they pay their employees, to the
value Of American, English or French [
gold and silver. As it is now these great
corporations may be accused of taking a
rather small advantage ofthe n ecessitses
Of the poor laborers.

low Weed took place this morning. Private
services were held at the late residence,

ciating. AT the conclusion of services the
cortege formed and proceeded to the
church, which was filled with q con-
gregation composed OF many promi-
nent citizens and well-known persons
from the interior of the State. Mrs. Har-
riet Weed was too much agitated to leave
the house. Immediately after the pail
bearers and mourners were .thesattaches of

lily. The funeral party will leave for Alba
ny this afternoon.
SECOND Observation-Disclosures DETAILS.
At ten minutes past 10 the procession ar
rived from the house, the clergy walking
first, followed by the pail bearers and by
men carrying the coffin, which was covered
upon their shoulders. The members of the
family came next, and then friends who
had attended the services at the house. A
delegation of fifty members of the Press
club brought up the rear. As they passed
up the central aisle the choir sang "Sleep
Thy Last Sleep" The coffin was placed in
the front of the pulpit, and the pail bearers
and mourners took seats reserved
for them. BY this time the church
was so crowded IN the galleries
as well as on the main floor, that number
of person who came to attend the services
were unable to gain admittance. All the
aisles and passages were filled with persons
standing, including many ladies'. Rev.
DR.. Paxton opened the services by reading
a passage OF Scripture, after which the
choir sang abide With Me-" DIR. John
Hall then spoke briefly of Mr. Weeds long
and restlul duietness which had been
granted him. The choir then sang Nearer
My God to Thee" and the Rev. DR.. Spen-
GER, of Rochester, pronounced the benedic'
ton.
