THE PORTLAND POST OFFICE.
Leroy s. sanborn, the New Assistant
Postm master.

This morning Hon. Herbert G. Briggs as
sumes control of the post Office in this city
and Hon. j. S. Palmer steps out into private
life again. Mr.. Palmer has filled the office for
few months over his official four years. He
was one of President Cleveland's best APP
pointments. During his term of service Mr..
Palmer has endeavored to conduct the office
in such way as to please the business men
and public generally. anu we think it will be
generally conceded that he has always been
alert, systematic, prompt and courteous.
We have no doubt that Mr.. Briggs will
give equal satisfaction, to say the least.
Mr.. Briggs has appointed Mr.. Leroy S.
Sanborn, of this city, assistant postmaster.
Mr.. Sanborn commenced duty as a substi-
tute letter carrier in June 1870, and was APP
pointed porter by Hon. Woodbury. Davis
then postmaster. He entered upon the pay
roll as the lowest In rank and last upon the
list Of employees. He was reappointed by
Judge G. w. Goddard who was postmaster
In 1871, and promoted to the position of
clerk in 1871. He served in different posi-
tions as clerk during the thirteen years of
Judge Goddard's administration, during
WHICH tllu6 NC WAS pIUuOltu 10 CltIk IN charge
of the mailing department. and was reap
pointed to that pasition by Hon. c. II. Bar
ker in 1884. holding the position during Mr..
Barker's administration, and holding over
under Postmaster Palmer's administration
from July LIST to October LIST, 1885. He has
then served under the following postmasters
from June 1870 to October 1886; Woodbury.,
Davis, G. w. Goddard, G. II. Barker and j.
s. Palmer, and when removed his name
upon the list came next in rank to the as
sistant postmaster, Excluding the cashier,
April 49, 1889, Mr.. Sanborn was appointed
q postal clerk on the Portland and Worcester
railway post Office, AMI in February, 1890,
he was transferred to the Bangor and Bos-
ton railway post office, and detailed as an
assistant to the chief clerk of the Railway
Mail Service stationed at Portland
When Mr.. Sanborn entered the Office in
1870 the receipts were about $4,000, while
In 1890 they were about $4,000, and these
receipts do not include about $35, 900 worth
of stamps, that Hallett, Stinson g. Co., put
on their goods, which they do not purchase
at the Portland Office. If the postal rates
had remained as high In 1890 as they were
in 1870; the Office receipts would be double
what they now are.

UNITED IN DEATH.
Funeral OF John cousens and
Samuel Merrill Yesterday.


The funerals of John Cousens and Samuel
Merrill, the two lads drowned at West Fall
mouth last Saturday, took place yesterday
afternoon from Mr.. Lyman Cousens's resi-
dence. There was so large an attendance
of the friends of the families that the house
was filed and the sidewalk in front. The
services by Rev. DIR. Merrill, of the Second
Parish, and Rev. Mr.. Wright of the St. Law
renee street, were very touching and Ina.
pressive.
DIR. Merrill In his address, after abiding
to the sad circumstances of the death of the
two boys Of whom he spoke, and their faith
in Christ and desire to lead Christian lives,
said:
The gospel transforms death. 1t becomes
an angel of light The messenger of the
Master sent to summon to the palace those
who are needed there more than here, some
times seems to do cruel work. 1t takes MN lia
days, months and even years to persuade the
spirit to leave the dwelling. that cannot 3e
taken into the land that flesh ana pi0oe do
not inherit Prolonged agony and distress
must occur. At other times, In an instant,
by painless translation the soul is gone
home, and, as In the case of these loved ones,
two who have loved go together to Him who
can no longer wait their coming.
AS far as concerns the dear boys who are
gone, they have already entered upon the
real life as compared with which the life we
have seen them living Is naught. There
were plans full of largest hope cherished by
each OF these strickenSh homes which. carried
out, would have won for each Of these. boys
manhood that the world and the church
vastly need.
But no accidents happen in Gods domain.
Jesus had a larger career, more perfect
plan in mind, plan and career better not
nv,lx for Inf hnnaoc
than the wisest parents could have formed
For has He not told us, and shall we not be-
lieve him? Do we not know that all things
work together for good to them that love
God? There was nothing which you want
dear oF
possible for them to be. Some lives to be
most full for eternity must be long ON the
earth. Other lives to gain highest perfection
must tarry here for a brief hour. Jesus only
knows.
Continuing, DIR. Merrill in appropriate
words referred to the consolation offered by
the teachings of Christ to the parents and
friends In their bereavement.
The floral offerings were many and beauti-
full, so many were the friends of the de-
ceased and the circumstances of the deaths
so sad that all seemed to contribute natures
offerings with one accord, until it might be
said the bodies lay in a bed Of roses. The
body Of John Cousens was buried in Ever.
green Cemetery, and the grave was lined
with flowers. The body of Samuel Merrill
was taken to Yarmouth.
The pail bearers were A. B. Leach, p. H
Farley, Charles Webster and Maurice Dun
lap. Appropriate music was supplied by the
State Street Choir.
Before the services at the house OF Mr..
Couseps there were prayers at the residence
of Mr. Merrill.
