Obituary.

Mary +. Campbell fell asleep in Jesus at
Rising Sun, Md, Dec. 5oth, 1854, in the 21lh
year of her age. Losing her mother at an
early age, she was teuderly cared for and
carefully educated by her grand parents.
Converted at the age of fifteen under the
ministry of Rev. j. d. kigg. she joined the
NJ. f. Church at Ebenezer, Zion Circuit, in
which communion she remained until her
death A few years ago she entered upon
the higher Christian life when she became
especially useful III the Sabbath School aud
in the social meetings of the church. Dec.
22d. 1881, she was married to John +.
Campbell one of the leading members Of
the church of her choice. Two precious
children came into their home, hut the first
born preceded its mother TO the home above.
and the second survived her but a few
weeks About one year ago consumption
began to prey upon her frame. For time
she was hopeful of recovery, her heart
clinging with great tendness to her husband
and infant child But when it was clearly
revealed that it was Gods will she should
die, she at once committed all to her Lord
and in loving converse with her husband
and Others declared her strong confidence
in God, and sure hope of blisSful inInur
tality. In the presence OF a large couceurse
of weeping friends, her body was laid away
in the silent grave to await the coming Of
the Lord. j.. f.
She has passed away,
Like a gentle breath,
Her eyes are closed with the sleep of death;
The leaves of the trees will Iiutter aud fall /,
And the drifting snow will cover all,
But she will peacefully, calmly rest,
Forever happy
BY angels biest.

Of womanhoOd.
Tender and loving, and wise and good,
ALI. too good for the sinful earth.
Only the angels knew her worth,
So they called her unto them,
Decking her brow
With Il diadem.
Better to smile
When such Il life
Gives up the battle of earthly strife,
| Better to know that ler tasks are done,
| Trials ended and glory won;
Tears are vain, when "A soul so bright
Wings its way
To the gates of light

Judge Lucilius A. Emery heard a case in
chambers in a court of equity at Bangor on
Tuesday. that involves constitutional ques-
ton of Importance. Dexter is in debt more
than five per cent of the last valuation of
property of the town. There has been a
vote. however, notwithstanding this debt, to
build school house and borrow $4,000 tor
that purpose. The building committee have
made contract with builder TO that effect.
Now come certain taxpayers and apply for
an injunction to restrain the officials from
borrowing said money, upon the ground that
such action is in violation of the 22d amend
ment to the Maine Constitution, which says
that no city or town shall hereafter create
any debt or liability which, singly or in ag-
sregate, shall exceed five per cent. of the
last valuation of said city or town. Com
plainants also desire an injunction against
the contractor to restrain him also from pro-
ceedipg under the contract. The hearing
was before Judge Emery, who is preparing
an opinion.

a correspondent writes the Argus about
the Wsterville democratic committee meet
ing thus:
Mr.. Brown stated how successful he had
been at Washington in getting the 4th class
post offices in Maine filled by friends of the
present administration, and thereupon three
| resolutions we're offered: One thanking him
Tor these efforts; one commencing his action
IN the endeavor TO fill other federal offices
With Democrats. and one justifying bis course
in regard to the Lincolnville post Office
These resolutions were vigorously combatted
on the ground that he had no business at
Washington in his capacity as Chairman of
the State Committee: that no one had sent
him there. and that he had assumed authority
never before claimed or exercised by any
one holding his place in the organic alton Of
the party in this State, and on vote to Law
the resolutions on the table it was rejected
by two votes; when the vote was about to be
taken on the final passage Mr.. Brown pro-
posed that they be Withdrawn provided he
could have unanimous resolution justifying
his action in the Lincolnville matter. He
made statement in regard to this affair. and
on hts statement, he got such a resolution as
he desired, ami the resolutions were NTH
drarn. To make sure that his official posi-
ton should not be used in filing the country
post offices. a resolution was passed that he
should not recommend any appointment I'M
less endorsed by the county member Of the
State committee from whence the application
came.
Now if Mr.. Brown wishes to go to Wash
ington in the interest of his office-seeking
clients no one can object, but the democratic
party in Maine will never consent that his
/ for 49,
committee shall make him an ofice-distribut-
ing Boss, and give him client-ship in every
post-offce in Maine. He had better stay At
home.
