NON-TAXABLE PROPERTY.
The amount of n0n-taXable property in Maine
is handsome item. First, there is the proper
ty owned by towns and cities, s. .o39 .693. 10
second, the property in school buildings and
grounds, $2.51S, ,S95; and third, the property in
church buildings. S3,409 954, making grand
total of $S,54S 10. To this may be added
the property of the various benevolent lnsllu-
tons, the property exempted from taxation by
towns and cities, and the property which en-
capes the doom of the eagle-eyed assessors
these would undoubtedly swell the total to ten
millions, upon which no tax is levied. The
church property of York county foots up $4I6,-
600, ranking third in the State; Cumberland
church property.

presided over By Minister Pendleton, the
following was adopted:
"Grant Is dead" This simple cable.
gram brought sorrow tothe hearts Of his
countrymen and regret to all admirers Of
his illustrious career and sympathizers
In his intense suffering and heroic
silence. Able in war, he knew
how to bring victory to the Union cause,
moderate and selt-eontained in the su-
preme hour OF triumph he knew how to
rob defeat Of half its pangs to his van
ouished countrymen. A soldier without
passion or ravenge he closed his
military achievements and the great
est civil war OF the age, with
ont the traditional horrors Of civil
war. In ciyil administration, he COM
.pleted The victory Of arms and restored
che Southern Ststes to the Union and the
Union to the affections oil the seeding
States. THIS simplicity OF his character
and manners ADDED lnstre TO his services
in these great fields OF human endeayor
The dauntless courage, unfaltering for
titude, patient endurance, simple faith
and modest manners with which he trod
the pathways Of human glory illustrated
his bearing. Suffering, Eorrowful and sad,
he passed within the shadows Of
the Dark Valley, he Won the conf
dence and affection Of the people. They
believe him TO be honest and just; no error
OF judgment, no reverse ot fortune shows
their lack Of loving confidence. Over his
bier their emotion finds expression In In
tense sorrow. We express our admiration
Ct his character, coincidence with his
friends, sympathy with our country.
.sMr. Pendleton is requested to convey
this expression OF our sentiments 10 Gen.
Grants family" &
Consul General Raine, in an eloquent
speech, seconded the resolution. Hesaid
"that time would enhance General
Grants fame. He measured his end
with almost mathematical accuracy.
He finished his two.yolume history OF
the war, laid down his pen aud bowed re-
before the angel Of death. Thou
sands Of miles from home, our sorrow
traverses the ocean TO mingle with that
Of our countrymsn around his grave"
Mr.. Raine concluded as follows: 81
had the pleasure Of travelling years ago
with Gen. Grant IN the East. i saw him
often standing alone enwrapped in
thought. His face was the keynote Of his
soul; the iace spoke more eloquently than

tiens 81 natures own, creating a grateful
republic, viii never fnrget him."
