ANOTHER WARTIME ITEM. The Rockland
Courier Gazette publishes under the caption
of "Rockland in War Times" letter under
date of Camp Knox, Shutters Hill, near Alex
andria, Va, Sept 25, 1861, from which we
quote the following paragraphs:
On account of its smallness Co H. has been
broken up and its men transformed into COM
panies D. and K. Therefore, at present we
have but nine companies in our regiment. Ed
win Libby, formerly orderly in Co. H., has re-
ceved the appointment of % Lieutenancy in
Co. D., and no doubt he will make a smart and
efficient officer. Major Nckerson has been
promoted to the Lieutenant Colonecy of this
regiment, and no better man could we ind to
fill this responsible position. His dauntless
courage and resolution, and his interest for
our welfare, has gained for him a large place in
our hearts. 1t is with deep regret that we
parted with our beloved Lieut. Col Marshall,
and when he made his farewell remarks to US,
we all listened with breathles- attention, and
every soul seemed touched, for we could but
feel that what had been his gain was our loss.
But he has gone to fill a position where he will
be more useful to the government that we are
striving to maintain, and we can only say,
Goods blessings go with him." Silas M. Full
Ter of Belfast and formerly Captain OF Co. r.,
has been elected Major, and has entered upon
the duties of his office. He is very popular
with the regiment and makes fine looking
Major. In consequence of the promotion OF
the list and I'd Lieutenants in Co. K, our Ser
geant Major Bisbee was appointed I'd Lieut.. In
that Company and W. A. Barker of Rockland
has succeeded him as Sergeant Major.
THE REGISTRY OF DEEDS. Owing to the
fact that the number of volumes in the Regis
try of Deeds office is in excess of the shelving,
it has become necessary to provide additiona!
accommodations, which will be done by installing
a rack and desk for the indexes, which will re-
lieve the situation for some time as well as
making it much easier for those having bust
ness at the office. The rack will also contain a
set of document files for such instruments as
may be left for time instead of being pigeon
holed in wooden affair, as at present In this
connection the Register wishes to say that
quite quantity of documents have been al
lowed to remain in the files uncalled for, and
would also suggest that safe policy on the part
of those interested would point to their re-
moval, as even buildings supposed to be fire
proof are occasionally destroyed with their
contents. case in point is that of Lancaster
County, N. H. While the office Of the Register
was undergoing repairs the books were piled
in the floor, and by some means the building
took fire and the whole was consumed. Those
who had preserved their documents by
other means could have them again recorded
The Register would be obliged if those having
documents on file in which they are interested
would call for them before the change in cases
is made. 1r they will be mailed if postage &C.
companies the request. It is also suggested,
for the benefit of those not having safes for
the keeping of such papers, that small
metallic cases with keys can be obtained at
the stores for the sum of one dollar or less.
A SILVER WEDDING One of the most inter-
esting social events of the season took place
Wednesday evening. October 4th when Mr..
and Mrs. William H. Quimby celebrated the
25th anniversary of their marriage at their
home on Court street. Between eight and ten
about three hundred guests called to offer
their congratulations while letters, kilograms,
ETC., brought good wishes from many out of
town friends. MIR. and Mrs. Quimby were as
sisted in receiving by Mrs. John H. Quimby,
Mrs Charles Sanborn of Brookline, Mass, and
DR.. and Mrs B. B. Foster Of Portland. In the
back parlor Mrs. George A. Quimby dipped
punch, which was served by Miss Louise Read
and Miss Clara Heating. At the handsome ly
appointed table in the diningroom Mrs. Ben
Hazeltine and Mrs. Charles H. Walden poured
coffee, while sandwiches, ices and cakes, sailed
nuts, bonbons, etc, were served by the Misses
EVELYN P. and Cora S. Morrison, Florence M.
Hill Marian Hazetine of this city and Margaret
Cahill of Kalamazoo, Mich. Miss Katheri ne
C. Quimby also assisted in the dining room.
The decorations were most effective, and the
many beautiful flowers sent by friends were
arranged to advantage, while in the den were
displayed substantial souvenirs of the event in
appropriate silver, and silver and glass combi-
nations. Many handsome gowns were worn, and
the evening was one of thorough enjoyment for
all present, whose wishes for the continued hap
piness and prosperity of the always hospitable
host and hostess were most hearty and genu-
inc. Mr.. Quimby is the President of the
Waldo Trust Company and has been engaged
in the banking business from boyhood. For a
number of years he was with the Belfast Ma
tional bank and then went to the Savings
Bank as assistant treasurer under his father,
the late John H. Quimby. and on his death
succeeded to the position of treasurer. He
resigned later to engage in the brokerage
business in Boston, but has now taken up his
permanent residence in Belfast and is well
coined as generous, progressive and public
