Martin died at his home in this city on Satur-
day last, at the great age of SO years and I
months He has raised a family of ten chill
dren, seven of whom were with their farther
in his last moments. One daughter is the
wife of DIR. b. +. Sanborn, superintendent of
the Insane Hospital. He also leaves nine
teen grandchildren and four great-grand-
children. For sixtv-ive years Mr.. Martin
has been resident of this city-steady, in
dustrious, continuing to labor almost up to
the last moments of life. The result of his
painstaking and skilful labor may be found
in the permanent and enduring work about
many of the best dwellings in this city. For
half century he was consistent member of
the Convragationalist church. Moving about
quietly in the walks of life, he was respected
and beloved by all who knew him, and illus
trated in his life the beauty of an unostenta-
tions Christian character. Funeral this Mon

We learn that the Attorney General has re-
Gently decided that the post-office department
cannot lease post-office for longer term
than four years, and that consequently the
lease made between the department and the
Granite Bank in 1870 for twenty years is
voidable. In view of this decision the de-
partment recently advertised to receive pro-
posals for new post-office in this city. We
understand that the owners of the present
newspaper Office made a proposition to the
department. to fit and furnish the building
TOT the post-office, with view of having
the newspaper work done up stairs.
Al rental of less than the department
now pays for its two offices. Hon.
James W. Bradbury and Mr.. John w. Chase
nave been in Washington the past week rep
sesenting the Granite Bank. endeavoring to
nave the department keep the post office IN
us present quarters until the new public
'auiiding is completed.

OAK GROVE SEMINARY.
Enterestinx Notes Concerning the Institu
ton.

On FRIDAY, the 18th inst, the teachers and
scholars of Oak Grove Seminary at vassal-
ooro, made very pleasant excursion to
Bradley's Island in China Lake. The day,
at first cold and cloudy, proved to be one of
the finest of the whole autumn. The bow
ling alley. croquet grounds. swings. and row
boats connected with the island afforded
ample amusement for the excursionists. The
hsh chowdrr Was pronounced by all as ex-
ceilent and reflected great credit on Mr.
Brsdley's commissari.t. Tho good wives of
Vassaiboro brought out their best cakes and
pies and sent them BY their children. The
result was picnic fully in keeping with the
days programme In the afternoon several
of the party steamed down past South China
IN the little Una while other -ienjoyed a sail
in the larg- yacht. Every thing combined

day success; also to George Gibson of

Mr. J S. Mnrphv's Kerry Cow" ct Gran
lite Hall Saturday evening was faithful im-
personation of Irish character. 1t was not
of the demonstrative, shillalah kind, but true
and tender and exhibiting more of the most
praisworthy traits. The drama from the be-
ginning is racy and sparkling, being very
attractive to an audience. The realistic
horseshoing scene in the third act, where Dan
OHara draws a red-hot piece of iron from
the forge and in plain sight of the audience
converts it into a perfect horseshoe, is a
pleasant episode, not merely forced into the
play to exhibit MIR. Murphy's ability of manu-
featuring a horseshoe, but it naturally leads
on to one of the principal climaxes of the
drama and assists in the development Of the
story in the most natural manner imaginable.
