Funeral of Mrs. Chickeriug.

The public we're informed by yesterday morn
ing's journals of the death at Wakefield, Mass,
on Saturday last of the wife of Rev. John W.
Chickering, formerly of the High street
church in this city. The remains of Mrs.
Chickering were brought to this city yesterday
by the o'clock afternoon train, and pro-
cession was formed at the Maine Central sta
tion, Woodfords, of a number of old friends of
the estimable lady and her respected husband.
Arriving at the waiting room of Evergreen
Cemetery, the casket was taken into the small
apartment and brief but suitable service was
held. Rev. Mr.. Sonthworth read some appro-
pirate selections from the scriptures Rev. DR..
Fem the worthy successor of DIR. Chickering,
feelingly alluded to the beautiful character OF
the deceased, her wise judgment, her valuable
aid to her husband, her literary and scholastic
attainments, and her well balanced and Iowa
BILE character in, general declaring that she was
everywhere universally respected and beloved
by all who had the pleasure of her acquaint-
snce. Beside the venerable doctor, who looks
somewhat aged and feeble, there were present
his son Rev. John w. Chickering, Jr., and
SOB of the National Deaf and Dumb Institu-
ton of Washington, D. c.; Prof. Joseph K.
Chickering OF Amherst College, Rev. Ephraim
G. Cummings, Deacon Brown Thurston, Mr..
Rufus Huxley. Mrs. Elias Banks, Mrs. Pudor
and a few other devoted friends. Had the day
been pleasant there would undoubtedly have
been a very large attendance of sympathizing
friends present. During the sad service we
were forcibly reminded of the line of the old
poet:
'Blessed is the corpse that the rain rains on"
AT the committal services on theIlot, which is
situated near the Brown tomb, Rev. DR.. Fem
offered very excellent prayer, and the line Of
light at the western horison showed that after
the storm there was light at eyentide.
The Portland daily press., 1885-06-03

The first annual meeting of the stockholders
OF this company was held in this city yester-
day morning. The president, Mr. a. j. Lib
by, in behalf of the board of trustees, made
report of the condition of the company, which
was particularly favorable in view of the short
time since business was begun. Although
opened for business only five months ago, the
deposits have continually increased, till they
now amount to $4,000, with reserve on
hand OF over $4,000. The profit at SO early
stage would necessarily be small, but an ap-
proximate estimate shows that the company
has already earned at the rate of four per cent
net per annum on the stock. The great major
ity of the loans are secured by marketable
collaterals, and the aim of the management
has been to secure safety rather than large
profits. This brief outline of what has been
accomplished shows that, If the future equals
the past, the Portland Trust Company in
few years will be one of the largest and
strongest financial institutions in the State.
The old board OF trustees was unanimously
reelected.
