Dlrigo Grange, Freedom, at its last meeting in
consequence of the busy season had but one male
officer present. The sisters opened the m citing
and conducted it to its close without mistake and
without books. The programme consisted of speech

The Executive Committee in special communi
cation to Deputies, point out the towns of Liberty
Llncolnvllle Center, Searsport and Palermo, as
towns which have no Oranges, and which offer a
good field fer Grange. Waldo Co. has seven
Deputies, and it would seem that with the strong
force of active earnest Patrons they can call TO
their aid if necessary that weak Oranges might be
strengthened, and new Oranges instituted in such
good farming towns those named. Deputies Of
Waldo County, advance!
The Maine Farmer says: "In his remarks before
Sagadahoc Grange the other day, GOV. Robbie paid

The family of the late Dr. F. " Palmer, of Bos-
ton, formerly of Belfast, whose death by drowning
together with that of his grandson from steamer
John Brooks announced last week, having
seen no indications of mental arrangements in
him. do not believe he intended to commit suicide.
They think that the child may have fallen over
board and the doctor went after him in the hope of
rescuing him. This theory will commend itself to
those who knew DIR. Palmer best. He was not of
Il temperament or disposition to induce insanity,
but on the contrary was OF Il happy and cheerful
nature, temperate i'll his habits and had led ii most
exemplary life The Boston Journal saws he is
spoken of as being clean and nice Il man as ever
lived, most gentlemanly, inofensIve, and courte-
Gus, man of very good character in every way.
Arrangements were at once made for the patroll-
ing of the beach i'll the hope that the bodies NAV be
cast ashore.
DR.. Palmer was I'ratteboro'5 postmaste during
President Folks administration. He was the orig
inator of the first American postage stamp, which
was engraved by Thos. Chubbuck, of Springfield,
for the postmaeters personal use These stamps
were in use long before the Government decided
to use a stamp for the prepayment of postage. The
Palmer stamps bring fabulous price, one having
been recently sold for $l45, while few years ago
one sold for $500 at auction.

The people Of jefferson and adjoining vicinities
nave enjoyed rare treat during the past week, i'll
listening to a course of chronological lectures by
Prof l.. {. Bateman of Scarsmont. Prof. Bate
man is a native of Jefferson, where he spent the
years of his boyh"od, and came here to deliver his
lectures at the earnest solicitations of his many Old
time friends. He is graceful, fluent and origi
nal speaker, and especially gifted with those rare
qualities which enable him to at once attract and
hold the undated attention of an audience. His
lectures abound with valuable information, inter
est increasing i'll them the course proceeds: the
last lecture of the course, the Lost Arts being
Il masterpiece, and well worth the price of adms-
sion to the entire course. FarnumS large hall has
been crowded every evening, many coming from
Waidoboro Washington, Whitehead and adjoining
towns, to hear Prof. Baeman eNpound the princ
pies of his chosen science, and in every case they
have been delighted and instructed.
1t Is universally conceded that the genial Prof
has called out the largest audiences, awakened
greater interest, and given more complete instruc
ton and satisfaction than any other public speaker
we nave ever had here, and the people of Jefferson
have We'd with each other in doing him honor, they
being proud Of the distinction to which Jefferson
boy has attained.
Prof Bateman prefaccd his first lecture bv touch
