The firm of Ballard & Chase has been dis
solved, Mr. Chase retiring. Mr. Ballard will
contkutc the business, and we trust will pros
per highly, as be deserves. Mr. Chase, we
understand, luu besom* connected with the
firm of I’arrott & Bradbury, dealers in grain
and coal, and we hope he will find his new
business both pleasant and profitable.
Ninleen car-loads of cattle sheep and lambs
were shipped from Augusta yesterday. The
former are not quite equal in quality to those
shipped last week. Of the latter there are
four car-loads; about double the number of
last weak, and we should think of a better
quality, as prices last week were a little
lower. We hope this week will afford an ac
tive market, higher prices, and quicker sales.
Messrs. John H. Hartford, James A. Bicknel'
and J. W. Clapp with their families, returned
to their homes in this city Saturday after
noon, from a fortnight's sojourn at Boothbay
Harbor. Those of the party, who have been
reported as being ill, are liow rapidly conva
lescing. They were all highly pleased with
their entertainment at the Weymouth House.
HaUswslI Itrws.
The office of the Saturday Gaaette has been
removed to the South end of the Hallowell
House Block. It now has a neat and com
modious office.
A new dry goods firm has just been formed
in Hallowell,—that of E. J. Hersey and C.
C. Huat, under the name of Hersey & Hunt,
successors to E. J. Hersey & Co. Success
to them.
A letter lias been received by D. C. Knight
of this city written by Frank VV. Call of
Richmond, containing the details of th? sui
cide of Walter W. Goff, master of the ship
“Laurens,” while on the trip from San Fran
cisco, to Coquimbo, Chili. C’apt. Guff shot
himself through the bead, in his cabin, May
19th, while in lat. 27 I0J south, ion. 117,
&9°. lie left a letter bidding an affectionate
farewell to his officers and erew„and consign
ing the ship to the care of his first mate,
Frank W. Call. He also left a letter direc
ted to his father, brother and the lady to whom
he was engaged to be married. His friend
live in New York. Mr. Call arrived safely
with his ship at Coquimbo, June 11th, the
day the letter from which we gather these
facts was mailed. The “Laurens," is a Ken
nebunk-bailt vessel, of S08 tons, and belongs
principally to the lather of the deceased.
IsUes 9*8111 by rslisa.
We learn that on Saturday Mrs. Francis l’aul,
of Boston who was visiting at the home of her ,
mother, Mrs. Jane Call, in Gardiner, died
very suddenly at about noon. She had gen e for
the purpose of making a call to the house o< j
Mr. John Buker, where she was immediacy ,
taken with convulsions, and before medical j
assistance could be obtained, expired in great
agony. The circumstances seemed to war- j
rant the summoning of a jury of inquest, and 1
W. H. Libby, Esq., of this city, attended, j
who deemed an inquest unnecessary, as it was
plainly apparent that the deceased h®d acci
dently taken an over-dose of laudanum. Dr.
C. Whitmore, who was present a few mo
ments after death had occured, was likewise
of the opinion that she had taken an over
dose of the poison to which she was much ad
dicted. She had been in Gardiner about six
weeks; her health had been in an impaired :
state since her arrival. Her age was twenty
three years and eleven months. She leaves
a husband in Boston.
Itaple’s Doable Acting Tnrblae Water Wheel.
This is an improvement on Water Wheels
for which letters patent have lately been
granted at Washington to Mr. J. H. Staples
of Wells, Me. The patentee claims that in
many imporiant particulars bit wheel possess
es advantages over any other now in exist
ence, particularly in regard to back voter,
the quantity of voter required, liability to
freezing up, Ac. He has already put several
in operation to the entire satisfaction of those
who ordered them; and has orders for, and is
now putting in, more wheels for parties in
Kennebunk and in the vicinity of Skowhe
gan. As Maine is well supplied with water
power, and is fast utilising it for manufactur
ing purposes, in its various branches, Mr.
Staples must reap a rich reward for his inven
tion, and contribute to the general interests ot
this and other states by its introduction.

| Death of the Oldest Mason in Maine.
| (Special Dispatch to the Daily Kennebec Journal.]
(lAKDINKK, AUg. 1.
| Peter Vigoreaux, the oldest person in Farm
ingdale and the oldest Mason in the State,
died Saturday, 30th ult., after an illness of
half an hour, at the advanced age of 92 years.
He has been a member of the Brotherhood
nearly half a century, having taken the degree
of Master Mason in 1821, in Gardiner. In
1822 lie took the Chapter degrees in Hallo
well, and in 1827 the Encampment degrees.
Mr. Vigoreaux left EaureDt, France, sixty
three years ago for this country, where he
married, settling in the Kennebec Valley.
Before leaving his native land he was master
sailmaker in the French fleet, commanded by
Jerome Bonaparte, which went to Martinique
and St. Domingo. Mr. Vigoreaux was sta
tioned on the Admiral's ship, a three-decker,
and the largest battle ship at that time ever
built in France. During the engagement
that took place at St, Domingo between the
French and English fleets Mr. V. was slightly
wounded. Until within a few years his hair
had not turned gray.
Mr. Vigoreaux had not seen a day of severe
sickness since stepping his foot on American
soil. He will be buried to-day at three o’clTt
P. M., by Maine Commandery No. 1, of
which he has been a member for thirteen
years.
Bnrial of a Mason.
Mr. John Kogers, formerly a teamster in
the employ of Kichards * Co., paper manu
facturers, and a member of Herinon Lodge
No. 32 Free Masons, was buried Sunday
with the usual masonic ceremonies at the
house and grave. Sir. Kogers has been
suffering with consumption for a year. He
leaves no family.

salist Society.
The Centennial Anniversary of the Uni
versalist Society was held here on Monday
evening. Exercises: First, Usual introduc
tory services. Second, Statement of the
object of the meeting by the Secretary. He
said the society had nearly incurred the debt
of $7,000 in repairing their church, &c., but
that they had reduced the debt to $2,500, and
that they were^ there to cancel the church's
indebtedness, and to raise something for the
Murray fund. Third, Several speakers
were present, of which Hon. E. F. Pillsbury
of Augusta, and Mrs. M. A. Livermore of
Boston, were the principals, both speaking
very eloquent for the cause. The amount of
the debt, $2,500, was raised betore the close
ot the meeting. The church was very prettily
decked with flowers, and was crowded with
the members of the church, many of whom
responded very generously. V.
