LEVI r. PAINE.
A PROMINENT CITIZEN OF NEwRY
GONE.

Levi X. Paine was called away last
Monday, Aug. 18th, by the messenger
whose summons none are able to deny.
Mr.. Paine had lived upwards Of 81 years
and had always been an honored and In
fluentisl citizen OF this town. He was =
man OF great individuality and OF decid-
ed convictions. What he believed, he
did not fear 70 express, and he always
lived up 10 his professions. la politics
he was n staunch Republican, pioneer
OF that party. have hesrd him say he
was member Of the first convention Of
that party ever called In Oxford County.
He kept himself well posted in the cur
rent events OF the day, and was always
ready TO converse with intelligence on
topics of public interest. In religious
views ne was inclined TO be liberal and
though not what Ia termed professor,
yet had deep reverence for all things
OF sacred nature.
For many years he took an active
part In the management OF the affiirs OF
his native town, and held offices OF trust
and honor. He presided as moderator
ut our town meetings year after year
for long time, and SO well did he &C.
quit himself OF the duties Of that Office,
that the voters OF all parties continued
to elect him until the infirmities Of age
compelled him TO decline to serve.
Mr.. Paine leaves no family, having
never been married. His sister, Mrs.
Fanny Chapman, now the only surviving
member of the family, with her husband,
resides at the old HOMESTEAD, where they
have for some years cared for him in his
declining strength. Though In the
course Of nature TO be expected soon, his
death saddens US all. One by one the
ancient landmarks are falling, soon will
be the new day and the new generation,
when we shall all be at rest.

UsCRIrTs REGARDING THE AFFAIR
TO APPEAR IN THE DEMOCRAT.

Most people know that SHOWS Falls

Paris, received lis name from the fact
that q man by the name OF Snow was
once killed By Indians near the place.
The knowledge OF most OF them does
not extend beyond that brief statement
Il fact, and though the story has been
told by various people in various ways,
no account Of the tragedy that was COM
plete and authentic In its details has
ever been published.
The Democrat will publish in lis is
sue for sept. 6 Al article regarding this
matter written by Rev III. o. Thsyer OF
Portland. Mr.. Thsyer il native OF
Paris, and is known throughout the
state for his labors in matters of histori-
cd research. Ii CHANGED that among
tile archives OF the Massachusetts, Histori-
Cal Society he came upon hitherto uu-
published manuscript relating TO the
SHOWS Falls tragedy. IL is brief, and
does not contain all the detailed iufor-
nation that might be wished; but II
makes clear certain facts which have
hitherto been obscure, and corrects GER
tain errors which have threatened 70 be-
come established.
This manuscript, as also letter by j.
5. Holmes, Esq, from which the sc-
count Of the tragedy in williamson
History Of Maine was condensed, are in-
corporated into Mr.. Thsyer's article,
with an exhaustive review and summary
OF the matter by Mr.. Thayer. IL will be
an article Of interest TO every one, and
of special value TO students OF local his
tory.

WAR TAXES TO Be RETAINED.

Chairman Dingley, who has been re-
cuperating at Squirrel Island, says in
an Interview 1.-The war taxes, some Of
them, will probably be retained per-
manently. The increased cost Of an
enlarged army and navy, even on a
peace footing, the maintaining of gar
risons in our new territory and other
permanent expenses growing out OF
the duties we assume, must increase
our national expenses fully 81, 0OO, 900 q
year. Previous 10 the war our new tar
in was admirably meeting the annual
expenditures of 1870, 000, 900. The in
crease, therefore, Is to be provided for,
and hence enough of the war taxes to
accomplish il will have 70 be retained.
The stamp tax will be the first 10 be
done away with. 10 IL the tax most
irksome TO the business wcrld and the
first that ought TO be suppressed. i
should say it will have TO be retained
not longer than a year and half. The
other features of the war taxes will
probably remain, for they are not an
noyingly felt"

Says the Lubec correspondent Of the

bee that Julius Wolf, the millionaire fish
merchant Of New York, who founded
the sardine industry, IL to purchase the
entire property Of the defunct Electro
lytic Marine Salts Co. and erect At North
Lubec the largest sardine factory in the
world. The piling and wharf already
laid out and half completed would cover
seven acres and the dozen fine cellars
dug and walled in could be utilized for
houses for the workmen. The site Is in
many respects an ideal one for such .
fActory, and it Is hoped that Mr.. Wolf,
Who ID here, will make the purchase.
