The Tone Family gave two per
fOrmances at Firmen's Hall liz the
early part of the present week, and
it was the privilege Of the writer to
attend the u given on Monday
night. We al say to those who
were not present on that occasion
that they missed a rich tltat.
The Programme consisted of a
beauiifai little domestic drama, in
which the whole family took part,
and in songs, recitations aud char
acter sketches. 1t would be invid
uous to p%articu!aliZe where all did
80 well, but We found that Miss AL
ice displayed dramatic aud lyric tai
ent OF "A high order, aud that sh
bids fair to become, III the course
OF time, under jalicions training, a
fine actress and singer. She has "a
good stage presence, is perfectly
self has an intelligent
conception Of her rOieS, possesses Il
strong. clear aud musical voice, with
fine clocutionary ability, aud withal
is SO gentle, modest and lady-like
IN her ways and actions, that she is
bound to charm wherever she may
go.
The Trone Family will, we feel
confident, give the utmost satiStac
ton wherever they may travel, and
the people Of the places which they
visit on professional business, may
rest assured that nothing but de
cent, aud %cleanly performances
will be given by the Tion6 Family,
aud that naught will be said or done
to offend the most modest and fasti
dious person.
The SENTINEL extends its best
wishes to the YrOne Family and
trusts that they vii, meet with the
success they so wei. deserve.

Another Old Sea Captain Passed
AWay.


Died at Gorham, February LIST, Captain
Joseph Leayitt, aged 81 years, II months, 10
days. Captain Leayitt belonged to class of
sea captains that have about all left US. He
commenced his sea life as cabin boy when
about twelve years Of age, and continued to
rise from one position to another until he
became Master. Most of his voyages have
been in the West India trade, though he has
often been up the Mediterranean, and in
1S43 the time Of the great famine,) took a
cargo of provisions to Londonderry, Ireland.
On this voyage he was accompanied by his
wife, who was formerly Elizabeth A. Jackson
daughter of the late Henry Jackson, we'll
remembered school teacher Of this city.
In 1916 he went to Mexico with troops, and
continued sailing until 1850 when he retired
from the sea. In 1865 he moved from Port
land to Gorham, where he resided until the
time of his DEATH
To the last he was an indefatigable reader,
always reading that which was substantial
and casting aside all that was light and
trashy. Having remarkable memory, the
consequence was he had mind well stored
with useful and entertaining knowledge, and
it was really treat for friend to sit down
and have a chat VITA him on most any sub
1ect. For the past ten years he has been an
invalid and at times has suffered greatly,
but all his sufferings has been borne with
manly fortitude, and he died honored and
respected by all who knew him. He leaves

The late three days unprecedented sleet storm
left so thick coating of ice on the tower glass
and all the windows on the north side Of the sta
ton buildings as to render all objects Invisible
through them, even to this date. The aceumula-
ton on the north and east sides Of the lanterns
attained a thickness Of nearly four inches solid
ice. This, of course had to be removed during
the storm. and the task was not accomplished
without difficulty and peril.
In recent communication I expressed doubt
as to whether the present stone house at Boon Is
