Governor Burleigh.

Governor Edwin c. Burleigh has COM
pleted his record as Chief Magistrate of
tie State and with the incoming of Cover
nor Cleaves, retires from Office. The
record which the retiring Governor has
made up is one of which the people of the
n nistration of affairs has been clean,
h nest, efficient and judicious. No man
c. put his finger on any spot or blemish
il the official acts of that administration.
Governor Burleigh had studied the best
II terests of the State during life time,
fl On various standpoints, and his official
policy knew nothing but the highest well
fsre of Maine. To begin with, he was a
nan of the people and was intimate with
tie tolls and struggles, the aspirations and
I, arS, the successes and failures, the
wants and ambitions of the people. In a
government by the people and for the
= ople the Chief Magistrate who will do
tie best work must be of the people. No
o ler qualifications, however brilliant, can
wholly make up for lack of full sympathy
with, and full knowledge of, the common
people. 1t was knowledge and sympathy
; ch as these which gained in part for
Governor DMgley and Governor Bodwell
their great success as Chief Magistrates :;
aud these have been some of the qualifi-
cations which have led up to the marked
success which Governor Burleigh has
achieved.
Governor Burleigh held the laws of the
State above him as safe rules for his off,
cal conduct, and these rules he felt must
be obeyed at all hazards. With him the
question was how to do it in obedience to
q standard thus erected and never how
not to do It in defiance of that standard.
Finally, a. Governor Of Maine. Edwin c.
! lIielgh ha> been the friend and champion
o. temperance, education. integrity and
of every other virtue and power which
t.nds to refine aud eXalt the people of the
State. and for that we honor him.

of presents. Among the more valuable
presents were beautiful picture from the

cipents feel very grateful. There were
other fine presents to teachers and classes

the few years of her married life enjoyed
IN her pleasant home iB southwest Harbor,
her many estimable qualities of character
had endeared her to a host of friends, and
her vacant place will be deeply incurred
by all who knew and loved her. OF q

cultured mind, ever ready to lend her aid
in good cause, loyal to all accepted
duties. her Influence for good was felt,

strengthen others, though her cheerful
presence is hidden from our view. This
sad blow comes with crushing force upon
the bereaved husband upon the tender
mother, who was with her at the time Of
separation, upon the father in his home,
and the three sisters she SO dearly loved,
and the deepes sympathy is felt for them
The last services that affection can bestow
Will take place at her childhood's home on
Bartlett's Island. May the peace that
passeth understanding be granted to the
Borrowing friends.

ton a cheerful conservation to the many
duties waiting for development in the
New Year. Mr.. Whittier will supply the
Congregational church here and at Bass
Harbor until permanent pastor can be
obtained.
We are glad to state that Charlie, the
little son of Mr.. and Mrs. William Rae
