Apacidad Sensation.

Quite an excitement was caused In this city
yesterday by the news that a party composed
Of several ladies and gentleman left town at
10 a. M Saturday for a row and picnic, and
had not returned. The tug Scott, with friends
OF the missing peo le were out all day, yester-
day, looking for them without success At p.
m. the Mnnehaha, Capt Knowlton, went out.
The steamer sailed around Long Island, Clap
board Island and down to Basket Island, but
found no trace OF the missing ones. AS the
steamer was passing through the Roads she
was signalled by boat belonging to the United
States revenue steamer Woodbury.. Upon
reaching the boat the officer in command
asked il the steamer was looking for anybody
and when told the object Of the search, said
the party had started to row up to the city
from Diamond Island about an hour previous.
1t seems the party got to Diamond Cove all
right Saturday, had their picnic and started
for home in the afternoon. regular gale
was blowing and when off the leeward side OF
Great Diamond, the boat was half full Of
water. The party therefore landed, turned
the boat bottom up and went to Mr.. Stephen
Berry's cottage where they passed the night,
at the invitation Of Mrs. Berry, and stayed
yesterday until the sea had moderated suffic-
iently to pull the boat back to the city In safe
ty. Tho officers and crew OF the Scott, and
Capt. KnowIton and crew Of the Minnehaha
are deserving of great praise for their unspar-
ing efforts In the matter, and also the gentle
men friends OF the party for their exertions in
their behalf.

portland pnhlic Iihrarr.

A special meeting of the directors of the
Portland Public Library, was held at p. m
Saturday, at the library rooms, President w
L. Putnam in the chair.
Mr.. P. II. Brown offered the following trib-
ute to the memory of the late Gov. Washburn,
which was accepted and ordered placed on the
records:
When man OF mark is suddenly taken away,
the sense Of loss which his associates and the
community of which he has been prominent
member so deeply feel, can hardly be expressed
in language. In the presence of great ca
lamity words seem feeble and unmeaning. Yet,
although the memory OF such man is sure to
outlast the regrets which his death proyokes,
and so outlive the associates and friends who
lament his loss, there is still a melancholy
pleasure In laying upon his new made grave a
tribute Of sympathy, of appreciation and OF
sorrow, however short Ii may come OF what is
really due and fitting. The directors of th Q
Public Library OF Portland therefore, ord er
upon their records their profound regrets at the
untimely death OF the late Governor Wash
burn, their associate and friend. Others have
recorded MI. Washeurn a far seeing, public
spirited and energetic citizen, as careful his
torical student, and accomplished man of let
ters an influential legislator, patriotic admins
traitor and wise statesman. 1t is for the direc-
tors Of this library to perpetuate upon their
records their grief at his loss and their recog-
milton oil his long, ialtnful and wise service 70
them and TO their charge.
Mr.. Washburn was one OF the founders Of
the library and always and constantly gave IL
the advantage of his excellent Judgment, sound
literary taste and sagacious acquaintance with
affairs. He did what he could, and more than
most, to make the institution really worthy of
the name, and to his persistent and tireless ex-
ertions in its behalf, are no doubt largely due
whatever prominence and success the library
has achieved.
The world, and most of sll institutions like
this, struggling against infinite difficulties,
for the benefit OF somewhat unappreciativa
community, can i'll afford to lose man like
Gov. Washhurn, who steadily, conscientiously
and unselfshly devoted a large part OF his
time 10 the good of others. But the grief
which Mr.. Washburns friends and associates
now feel so painfully is tempered by the salts
faction of knowing that his career was we'll
rounded, complete and successful, and that the
memory which he has left behind him is un-
clouded and enduring
The secretary is directed to engross this min
ute upon the records of the library, and to
send copy OF 1t TO MIR. Washburn's family.
The following officers were then elected,
President Putnam declining positively to ac-
cept a reelection:
President-Hon j. w. Symonds
Vice President-Philip II. Brown.
Secretary and Treasurer-Edward A. Noyes.
Clerk-M. b. Coolidge.
Librarians, NJ. Watson.
Director-Edward A. Noyes, ia place OF ex-
