OBITUARY..
Mrs. Ann Maria Wright.

This aged Christian woman passed
peacefully away from earth at 5 O'Clock
last Saturday afternoon at the residence
of her son on st. Lawrence ST., in
whose home she has lived for the past
twenty-seven years.
Mrs. Wright has passed forty-five years
of her long life in widowhood. She was
born In Boston in 1918, and was married
in 1888 to David N. Wright, ofCam bridge
Mass, where her children were born,
and which. for the greater part her life
has been her home. In 1913 Mr.. Wright
removed his family to Oxford. N. H.,
and less than two years later he died.
Five years after Mrs. Wright returned
with her children to Can bridge, and
soon aftel wards buried her only daugh-
ter, a child of six years. In 1867 she
went to Winterport. Maine, to live with
her only surviving son, the Rev. A. H.
Wright, and came with him to Portland
in 1871. Mrs. Wright has buried five
children, four sons and one daughter.
She passed her s1st birthday last Feb
ruary. Her long life, often heavily shad-
owed by bereavement, has been sus-
tanned by Christian faith and hope,
and has ceased on this earth, to be con-
tinued in the deathless and painless
land, in the presence of her Saviour. and
in the fellowship OF her loved ones, from
whom she was separated SO many years
ago.
On Monday afternoon her funeral s r
vice was conducted by Rey.J. G Merrill,
DID, assisted by the Rev. George D.
Lindsay, at her late residence. Today
her remains, attended by her only son
and grandson, will be taken to Oxford,
n. H., and placed in the beautiful ceme-
terry OF that town by the side of the Ions
deceased husband and children.

Rescript by Judge Walton.
This action is before the law courtson
motions to have the verdict set aside as

ground of newly discovered evidence. Nc
| the evidence is but remotely relevant;
and that portion of it which is more direct
" relevant is directly, contradictory. It. Its

discovered does not impress us as of much
Importance. 1t is cumulative in its charac-

DEERING.

While the store of Royal Leighton was
being cleaned up last week, big pa
p -four bag full of sugar was fund.
There were rs pounds of sugar, as mark
ed on the bag. When the paper was
torn away the sugar was found to be
one big solid lump, exhibiting every
crease and fold of the paper. But
the remarkable thing is that on one side
in raised letters, are the words st.
Louis Flour" etc., that were printed
on the paper. The letters were raised
about an eighth of an inch, and as per-
feet as possible. The explanation
seemed to be. as follows. The lump,
through the exact mould of the bag, had
shrunk away from the paper and was
smaller in bulk than the original loose
sugar, but it weighed 1-2.pound more.
1t had absorbed moisture during the
long. time that it had lain in the store,
and had of course shrunk and grown
heavier. This process must have been
very gradual. The sugar under the
letters did not shrink SO much be-
cause the ink of the lettering prevent
ed the passage of moisture through the
paper Therefore the letters were re-
produced in raised sugar.
Served Him Right.
The story goes that Deering snilkman
recently borrowed can of milk. of
about two gallons, from a fellow milk
man, and forgot to repay in kind. Final
" the other mentioned the matter and
the former said: "Old man, if you get
that milk before get ready to pay it,
you let me know"
The old man said nothing, but the
next day went to the Portland &
Rochester station, where the other man
receives his milk, and quietly appro-
priated the whole of it, some five or six
cans He left a note for the owner,
which read as follows: "The old man
has got your milk; If you want it call
on him.
The pastor, Rev. II. Hewitt, in closing
the work of the year at Clark Memori-
al M. E. church Woodfords. Sunday
morning, read to the congregation the
following encouraging report: Four
teen new members have been added
to the church. The Sunday school has
grown from 1OS to 154. About $1,750
have been raised during the year for
the new organ and the removal of an
old debt. The sum of 1885 has been
raised for various benevolencies, and a
collection was taken to remove a small
deficiency in the current expenses for
the year. The attendance at Sunday
school Sunday was 100, the highest at
tendance the school has ever known.

RAILROAD MATTERS.
Spring HIigrations of River Drivers Have
Begun-Excursion to Montreal and
Quebec.

This is the season when the river drivers
are making their annual journeys from
Maine to the headwaters of the rivers that
rise in New Hampshire. Bangor is the re-
cruiting point, and thence they are brought
to Portland and forwarded over the noun
tain division. Parties are going through
every day. But the rivers are very low in
that region, and driving operations are
hindered.
The Maine Central are to run popu lar
excursion to Montreal and Quebec on
Thursday. These excursions have usually
been run at Easter time, but were de-
ferred this year on account of the earliness
of Easter.
