The Fuaeral of Mr. Laflln.
The funeral of the late John B. Laflin,
whose life was taken by assassination, took
place at the Methodist Episcopal church in
Hallowell yesterday afternoon, the services
beginning at 2 o’clock. The church was com
pletely filled; business in the city was almost
universally suspended, and a Sabbath si ill
ness pervaded the streets.
The services were begun by a beautiful and
appropriate hymn sung by a quintette of
voices. The pastor, the Rev. C. Fuller, then
read the first ten verses ot the XXXVII
l’salm, also the XXXIX Psalm and the XXII
chapter of Revelations. Rev. Mr. Death,
pastor of the Free Will Baptist church, then
announced the 10»’>3d hymn, which was appro
priately sung. The pastor then made a brief
and affecting address, eminently suited to the
occasion. At the close of his remarks, which
were listened to intently by the large audi
ence, a devout prayer was offered by Rev. A.
R. Crane, pastor of the Baptist church, in
which the unliappy man who committed the
awful deed was ceminendcd to the infinite
mercy of his Maker.
At the close of the prayer an anthem was
touchingly rendered by the choir. The bene
diction was pronounced by Rev. Mr. Heath.
The temperance society of which the de
ceased was an active and honored member,
attended on the occasion, clothed in regalia.
The occasion was one of deep and universal
sadness.

I I)r. Lighthill—Dear Sir: Sonic* few years since,
my son. Geo. R. Smith, was placed under your care,
j for treatment, for a growing deafness, which threat
ened the gradual and entire lo-s of hearing. When
ever In- w as attacked w ith a slight cold, hi- hearing
would become imperfect, and ai times quite alarm
ing. Renewed attacks continued to increase the
difficulty, and always led him in a worse condition.
1 take great pleasure in saving that your treatment
entirely relieved him; he has since had no return
of the difficulty, and I think him entirely restored.
1 am happy to give this unsolicited testimony to

would have been entirely deprived of hearing.
Respectfully vours.

Berlin, Sept. 23.
Intelligence just received from headquar
ters of the Prussian army before Paris, states
that tiie German troops occupied Melun, cap
ital of the Department of the Seine et Marne
to-day, after a feeble resistance of the French.
The Prussians have cut the Paris and Troi
ges Railway by this capture.
Advices from Glau say the Prussian guns
which have been planted on the heights at
Seeux, four miles south of Paris, find ail ex
cellent position for directing a heavy tire
against the southern portion of the city. Here
tiie Prussian cannon command the road lroin
Paris. Not unlikely the gunners have already
tried the range of their pieces, and have
cleared away the obstructions from the South.
London, Sept. 23.
Tiie latest information (rom Paris states
that tiie Prussians occupying Mantes sur
Seine, 23 miles northwest of Paris, are en
gaged in foraging upon the inhabitants of the
country adjacent. Heavy requisitions are be
ing constantly made upon the citizens for sup
plies of all kinds. A great deal of suffering
and des’itution is occasioned by the lawless
acts of the soldiers.
The garrison at Serres, midway between
Versailles and Paris, consisting of 2,0000
Garde Mobiles, was captured by the Prussians
tu-dav. The Mobiles met their foes with
great determination at first, but were over
whelmed by the superior force of the Prus
sians and esmpelled to surrender.
Information received through Prussian
sources this evening states that a terrible fam
ine is spreading among all classes in the prov
inces of Alsace and Lorraine. The people
have been so impoverished and stripped by
forage and stragglers from both armies that
nothing now remains, and the greatest stifler
ing and misery ensues.
The German Commissioners of Alsace and
Lorraine have notified the French inhabi
tants that all duties anil tiie import tariff are
abolished in view of tiie probable annexation
of these provinces to the Confederation, and
for tiie purpose of trying to arrest the dread
ful scourge of famine.
A despatcli from Paris states that a com
munication has been received from General
Ulrich, Commandant at Strasburg, in which
he states that he is suffering from a wound
received during the late terrific bombardment
of that city.
Specie payments have been suspended at
Havre.
Topes, Sept. 23.
Tiie baloons at Paris are still in active use,
they enabling the military authorities to keep
a sharp watch of the movements of the Prus
sians. Another baloon from Bazaine's head
quarters at Metz, has fallen within the terri
tory controlled by the French. It contained
137 letters. From them it seems tiiat butch
er's meat is very dear at Metz, and the army
and citizens are eating horse flesh.
IVar vessels are cruising about to prevont
Garabaldi's escape to Franco.
Private couriers just in from the vicinity of
I’aris, report that a very severe battle oc
curred yesterday at a point immediately
south of the city. The French forces in
heavy columns attacked the Prussians and
pushed them into the woods, when the for
mer wore hurled back and repulsed with
great loss.
The Prussians arc preparing to move on
Orleans which has been evacuated by the
French.
Latest.
London, Sept. 24.
The fortiflcHtions at Vincennes have been
abandoned by the French.
Thu Prussian guns at Sreaucx now com
mand the southern part of Paris.
The railroad has been finished around the
fortifications of Paris.
The bombardment of Toul continues in
cessantly and furiously.
France tireurs at Thionville make constant
sallies, and have inflicted much damage on
the Prussians.
Arrangements have been made at Lille,
whereby the complete inundation of the sur
rounding country may be effected in twelve
hours. Nothing definite has been received
from Paris.
Large quantities of grain that had been
collected around Paris, have recently been
burned to prevent them falling into the hands
of Prussians.
The Prussians occupy Dourdan, It) miles
south-west of Versailles.
The road from Paris to Orleans is gorged
with all sorts of vehicles, loaded with the
eflects of Paris refugees.
The siege of Metz has become a mere
blockade.
The safety of Tours is threatened, as the
Uhlans are at Orleans and Blois.
Notwithstanding the blockade of the Haltic
ports, 44 ships have entered Swineinunde,
since Sept. 2d.
Palikao is with the Emperor at Wilhelm
shohe.
The Prussians in Eunctte No. 62, at Stras
bourg, which was .abandoned by the French,
became an object of terrible fire. Many
German lives were lost, including that of
Commander Quitsow.
The Manchester Examiner says that Ul
rich, the commander at Strasbourg, was
strongly inclined to surrender, but the wound
ed soldiers and citizens unanimously de- '
clined it. I
Reports from France by way of Uerlin,
say all discipline is vanishing at Paris. The
soldiers are mutinous, and in some cases
have shot officers.
Flowknce, Sept. 29.
Rome is now completely occupied by the
Italian troops. The Pope has been per
mitted to retain a guard composed of his
late troops of Italian birth. All the rest of
his army has been dismissed.
The popular demonstrations of approval
continue.
It is thought that the plebiscite will take
place Sunday.
The prisoners taken by the Italians on the |
capitulation of the Papal army, numbered i
about 9.300, consisting of 4,900 Italians and i
4,500 foreigners.
Toms, Sept. 23.
Effective military measures have been tak
en for the protection of Orleans and Tours.
No news is received here from Paris, and
the people and journals seem to accepts its
absence as a matter of course.
It is reported that the Prussians are with
drawing their forces from other points to
concentration around Paris.
Their cavalry is in incessant motion.
Numberless squads of Uhlans patrol the
country for miles around the capital to cut
off supplies, their main object being to cut
off all communication; but Paris will surely
hold out and proceed to hold elections for
constituent assembly's, even under the sabres
of Prussians.
A corps of Spanish guerillas is forming at
Toulon, to assist in the defence of the coun- j
try.
The siege of Montmedy is leisurely eon- 1
ducted by a force of 15,CSX) men, and there is
little prospect of an early surrender, as the
garrison is constantly receiving supplies in
spite of the investment.
The defence is sustained with extreme gal
lantry, only a sprinkling of regular troops
being among the garrison, which is mostly
made up of stragglers from the recently de
feated French army.

Steamboat Accident.
Steamer Alliance struck on a rock when
going into her dock this afternoon, at dead
low water, causing her to leak three hundred
gallons per minute. The steamer's pumps
with the assistance of one o£ the steam fire
engines, freed her of water, of which there
was two feet in the hold, and wrecking steam
er Ralph Pass is along side keeping her free
until to-morrow, when she will go on to the J

charged uninjured, and all will probably be
so.

Vitality, Prkmattbk Incline js Mas, Nee von and
Physical Debility, Hypochondria, and all other diseases
arising from the Errors of Youth, or the Indiscretions

A Rook for Every Woman.
Entitled SEXUAL PHYSIOLOGY OF WOMAN AND
HER DISEASES; or. Woman treated op Physiologi
cally and Pathologically, from Infancy to Old Age,
with elegant Illustrative Engravings.
Those are, beyond all comparis >u, the most extraordinary
works on Physiology ever published. There is nothing
whatever that the Married or Single of Either Sex can
eith-r require or wish to know, but what is fully explained,
and many matters of the iQoet important and interesting
character are introduced, to which no allusion even can be
found in any other works in our languoge. All the New
Discoveries of the auth or, whose exjx-rience Is such as
probably never before fell to the lot o .any man, are given
n full. No p> rson should be without these valuable books.
Valtablk Rooks. We have received the valuable med
ical w<»rks of Dr. Allx-rt II. Hayes. These books are of
actual merit, aud should find a place in every intelligent
family. They are not the cheap order of abominable trash,
published by im sjH>nsible parties, and purchased to gratify
coarse tastes, but are written by a responsible professional
gentleman of eminence, as a source of instruction <« vital
matters, concerning which lamentable ign*jrance^xi*ts.
Th«* important subjects presented an- treated with defWicy,
ability and care, and, as an appendix, many useful pre
scriptions for prevailing complaints are added—Coos Re
publican, Lancaster, y. H-, Sep. 7, i860.
Dr. Hayes Is one of the inn^t. learned and popular physi
cians of the day, ami is entitled to the gratitude of our
race for these invaluable productions. It seems to be his
aim to induce men and women to avoid the cause of those
diseases to which they are subject, ami he tells them just
how and when to do it.—Warm in ft on Chronicle, Far- |
mington, Mr., Sept. 15, lodfi.
The extraordinary success of Dr. Hayes has aroused the
envy of a set of pretenders to medical *kill, who purloin the
matter, and even Chapter titles, from his works, and adver
tise themselves falsely and absurdly as members of medical
societies in London, Edinburgh, and Paris, which they
never saw. But such trausparent tricks can never alienate
from him the intelligent portion of the oommunity, who
goon learn to distinguish between the scientific practitioner
and the soulless aud brainless quaod.
