Dr- Brickett then read a portion of a paper entitled "nine cases of amputation of the thigh.” This was accepted and referred te the publication committee. Dr. O. St. C. O’Brion of Bristol, then deliv ered the annual oration entitled “The Young Physician.” Formulating the idea that the young man in medicine is usually considered an inconsiderable factor, the orator announced his intention of devoting himself to those members of the profession having just been admitted to the temple of JGsculapius. For an hour the Doctor held the close attention of his auditors by the forcible, pointed and witty manner in which ho called up the long list of requirements far a successful professional career. Especially was the young man cau tioned to remember that the world gives no rapid harvest and that not only are close and persistent attention to books and methods de manded, but the wider field of nature as well. The trials, disappointments, and obstacles of all kindswere so vividly portrayed and humor ously described, that their shadows were half dispelled. The whole discourse was replete with bright and sparkling wit, and evinced an extensive knowledge of general and special literatnrei and was characterized throughout by that rare shrewd knowledge of human nature which comes only to the busy general practitioner of many years. The doctor’s remarks were fre quently interrupted by applause, and elicited from the society marked approval. A vote of thanks was then extended to Dr 0’Brion,and his oration requested for publica tion. Dr. Byer of the United States Navy was in troduced and invited to participate in the dis cussions.

Miss Farrell will repeat tho part at City Hall next Mon day evening. Miss Libby will again repeat her former triumphs as the Princess Fiametta. Mr. Lewis Smith, whose former efforts in “Pinafore” gave so much pleasure will essay the part of Pippo, and the rest of the cast re mains the same.

G. F. Emery, Portland, Me. Dear Sir—Desiring to manifest a slight ap preciation of the high esteem in which you were held by the employes of this room during your connection with tbe Post, not only in an official capacity, but as a man and a citizen, be pleased to accept tbo accompanying group of those comprising the working force of the composing room on the 21st day of May, ult.; accompanied by our sincere wish for the fullest measures of health and prosperity. Sincerely and truly yours, A. C. COHICK, Foreman, and 32 others employed in the “Post” Office. Gorham. To ilia Editor of the Press: In your issue of June 8 h, I read a notice of a number of sheep consigned to W. H-iSturgis. Your reporter made a slight mistake. They were for M. C. Sturgis of the Brookside Farm, and were Hampshire Downs, imported by B. B. Sturgis of New York. They very much re sembled i he South Downs with the exceptions cf being a larger breed, and have a blacker face and leg. This addition has made M. C. Sturgis a flock of twenty-one imported Hamp shire Downs which I think cau scarcely be equaled in tbe State and certainly not excelled A Visitor. Florida Scenery. J. B Hudson, artist, exhibits at Roesel’s, 13 Temple street, two now pictures of Florida scenery. One, an oil sketch on the Oeklawaba river, showing the dense palmetto and cypress forest, through which it flows, with its brilliant foliage. Tbo other a water color of a Florida garden, looking out upon the St. John river from the portico of the residence of a Portland lady. The garden is bright with fruited orange trees and oleanders in bloom, while brilliant flowers fill the beds between which run walks of shining whito sand, while tall palms in the distance speak of a tropical clime. Funeral of Gordon R. Garden. The funeral of Gordon R. Garden of Cape Elizabeth took place at St. Luke’s Cathedral yesterday afternoon. The grand commandery Knigts Templar attended the funeral. At three o'olock, St. Alban, Portland and Blan quefort commanderies, headed by Chandler’s baud escorted the grand commandery to the church where the masonic exercises took place after the regular funeral services.

The same day Mrs. Woodoury lost overboard at Ferry slip, Portland Pier, a pocket book containing some $30, which Mr. Floyd also recovered. CONVENTION ECHOES. What the Papers Have to Say. LBangor Whig.] We have only time this morning to refer briefly to the grand Republican convention, a full report of which is given in our telegraphic columns. It was the largest and most har monious political gathering that ever assem bled in the State, and the enthusiastic and amicable manner in which the business was transacted carries with it no uncertain sound. It means that the people are on guard and that they have entered the battle to win and will not lay down their arms until victory is stamp ed upon their banner. All 'personal prefer ences have now been dropped and the Republi cans will present an unbroken front to the enemy, and each aid every individual labor for the success of the party whose glorious deeds iu the past form one of the most power ful incentives for united efforts in the future. 4 [Lewiston Journal.] It w*8 the convention-—the most harmonious and perhaps the largest and most representa tive State convention ever held in Maine. The sole quest of the delegates who gathered in large numbers in Portland, on Monday and who conferred dispassionately and calmly for many hours preceding the call to order by Sen ator Frye, was—“Show us tho best man, show us the man whom the masses of the Republican party want, and we will make him our standard bearer,” Never did a convention of delegates, fresh from the people, assemble, more thor oughly disposed to regard the popular choice and more completely uninfluenced by selfish and local considerations. If at times in the past this or that has been said about rings and cliques, in this convention no whisper of that quality was heard. There was but one aim on the part of the convention and that was to aot for the commonwealth. On the question which, a hundred times, was raised among the knots of delegates who can vassed the issue of the standard bearer, unan imity of sentiment‘could not be expected. The fact that opinion was so evenly divided be tween the claim of Mr.Robie and of Mr. Thom as, was a high compliment to both gentlemen. It was another and a more significant expres sion that in the canvass and in the heat of the convention not one word was said in impeach ment of the political or personal record of eith er. Both gentlemen were conceded to be emin ently fitted by experience and by character for the executive chair. Conspicuous as this trib ute and kindly feeling were in the canvass that preceded the convention, on the floor of City Hall at Portland, on Tuesday, tne generous and catholic spirit in which the issue of the candidacy had been discussed, was exemplified under circumstances which commanded uni versal remark and felicitation. They who de clare that political life and political contests in this generation are bitter or bigoted, should compare the spirit of Tuosday^'convention and of the can vaS9 that led up to it, with that of sim ilar contests a quarter century ago. One thing is gratifying—that after a thor oughgoing canvas of the State in behalf of two candidates for the nomination, the convention settled the question in the form in which it was raised before the people. The “dark horse” is a product of a deadlock in which candidates come more or less in quartettes. But when there are but two candidates, the “dark horse” naturally ceases to be necessary or reasona ble. . , . Another feature of the convention which is noteworthy, was the ready acquiescence of the almost-majority in the will of the majority. Col. Robie received 98 votes more than Mr. Thomas in a cast of 1327 ballots, and was nom inated. Hardly had the nomination been de clared when Mr. Strout of Portia, d, who pre sented Mr. Thomas’ name to the convention, arose and proposed to make nomination unani mous. This might be called routine, but no man who looked into the faces of tlm delegates as they unanimously arose and certified their endorsement of the nominee, would so regard it. Cumberland, York and Oxford shook hands with the rest of the State, and agreed we have a good candidate, and we will elect him. There was no sulking. Another significant feature of the convention already hinted at, needs to be emphasized—its representative character. It was not a conven tion packed by non-residents, or full of dele gates labeled by somebody. It was not a con vention of a class or of a clique, but it repre sented actual and wide-spread constituencies alive to the disgrace sustained to the State of Maine under the fusion regime. It was signifi cant that bona fide delegates came from Aroos took as fully as from Cumberland and that the rural sections of the State were as fully repre sented as the more populous counties. A convention thus made up will represent the State, and in this case, we have no ques tion, it has nominated the next Governor of Maine. Col. Robie is a man of culture, and united with it has a practical knowledge of the busi ness interests of the State, and is * ell versed in public affairs. He is a man of the people and known in all parts of the State. His hon orable public career, business integrity, and private life all unite to make him such a man as the people delight to honor. With such a mau for their standard bearer the Republican party now have no fear of the result of the fall election. With diligent, enthusiastic work Col. Frederick Robie will be elected the next Governor of Maine by at least 10,C«0 plurality. [Kennebec Journal-! The Republican State Convention held at Portland Tuesday was the grandest political convention ever held in this State. It was large in numbers, and the character of the delegates was such as any Stpte might be proud of. They were such men as lead in the State in business and legislative affairs, in the professions, in industrial pursuits, in all that goes to make the honor, dignity and prosperity of the State. We have attended many State conventions, but never one that excelled this in its make-up, good temper, earnestness, enthusiasm and de termination to carry its banner to victory in the contest that is to ensue. Think of Aroos took sending sixty delegates to Portland from that far county to attend the convention, tak ing four days in which to accomplish the journey 1 Think of nearly every town and plantation in a State of such area as Maine be ing represented by delegates from their own locality 1 These thiDgs speak of a live party, earnest in purpose, willing to work and bound to be victorious. The contest for the nomination for Governor between Col. Robie and Mr. Thomas was sharp, but there was no bad temper displayed over it, no abuse of the candidates by those who oppose them in the convention. When the battle was over, the decision was hand somely received by the defeated candidate, the friends of Mr. Thomas moving at once to make the nomination unanimous. The con test was not strictly of a personal character— both candidates being conceded to be worthy and fit for the office—it turned simply on the matter of opinion among delegates as to which of the two would carry the largest vote at the polls. [Boston Herald.] Col. Robie says and believes that ha will be the next Governor. He would make a good one without any doubt if he was elected, and he may be. The prospect fer the Republicans has not been so bright for a half dozen years as it is to-day. The congresssional nominations were about what was expected, beed and Dingley have honored themselves and their State, and nobody had the hardihood to oppose them. Mr. Lindsey has been a quiet but use ful and trusted representative. Without mak ing speeches, he has served his State and his party, and there will be many regrets that his term is to be ended now. The two new men who go on the ticket are both strong and able. Capt. Boutelle is known as an editor and stump speaker all over the country. He has the cour age of his convictions, and if he lacks dis cretion—well, who does not? Mr. Miiliken, like Capt. Boutelle, was an unsuccessful can didate two years ago. He hopes for and ex pects better luck now, and lie will add strength to the ticket. The first impression would be that Capt. Boutelle would weaken it, but it is a fact not generally known that he ran ahead of his ticket in the fourth district in 1880. The platform is a pretty stiff kind of a document, of which we shall have more to say hereafter. As our dispatches indicate, this was a large and harmonious convention. While there are thousands who regret the defeat of Mr. Thom as, they will not weaken in their adhesion to the ticket. It is going to be this year about the hottest fight the State ever saw, and where vic tory will be found perching it is too early to predict. The key note for the Republicans was struck by Mr. Eugene Hale, in the very bright, sharp and closely condensed speech which we print elsewhere. His allusions to President Arthur will be found especially in teresting by those who are watching the course of political events. [Boston Globe] The Republican Convention held in Portland yesterday might be called, in the expressive language of our esteemed neighbor, the Herald, “a circus without a Jumbo.” The circns was lively enough while it lasted, and there were present only two ordinary sized elephants— Frye and Hale—while the king of the herd, Mr. Blaine, was absent. The aristocratic ele ments of the party in Cumberland and York were bent on securing a representation for once on the ticket, and they put Mr. William Wid gery Thomas, Jr , forward as a fit and proper person to be voted for at the polls. Bat, as usual, the “rural deestricks” carried the day, and Mr. Fred Robie of Gorham was selected as standard bearer. This was a direct snub to Eugene Hale and a sop to the extreme Prohib itory element, who are disposed to be “a little off ” just now. If was also a service of notice to the silver-tops of Portland who drink their liquor like men at the clubs and preach prohi bition like cowards on the stump that they aro not wanted just yet at the head of affairs. They may subscribe their money for campaign expenses, as usual, but the safety of the party and the sanctity of the prohibitory statutes re quire the candidacy of some gentleman from the country. [Boston Post.] The old ring has done it again in Maine, and one of its favorites has won the toss-up at the Republican convention held in Portland Tues day. Probably Mr. Robie is not much known outside his State, and can hardly be accounted a great man, even by his friends at home, but he will do for a ring figure-head. His name sounds like a diminutive of Robeson. We hope there is no significance in the coincidence. If the people of Maine are wise, however, he is a bigger man now than he will be after the election, (Boston Advertiser.) The Republicans of Maine held one of their great conventions yesterday, and opened the canvass with extraordinary spirit. The nom ination for Governor was the matter which ex cited the most interest, and the result of the balloting is quite surprising, considering the large number of delegates who were unpledg ed, and who were believed to be rather in clined to take another candidate than to ac cept either of those who had secured the lead in the caucuses. Col. Frederick Robie, who received a clear majority on the first ballot, is one of the best known citizens in the State. He was formerly a practising physician in the town of Gorham, in Cumberland county, hav ing been graduated at Bowdoin College in the class of 1841, and in medicine at Philadelphia in 1845. He was, both before the war, in which he served in the surgical department, and since the war closed, a leading public man, having been a member of both branches of the legislature, Speaker of the House of Representatives and a member of the Execu tive Council. He is a good man and a strong candidate, although there will no doubt be symptoms of opposition to him early in the canvass, due to the disappointment which was inevitably in store for somebody. There is no question of the power of the Republicans to elect him, and as little of their disposition to do so. (Boston Journal.) The large, enthusiastic and harmonious state convention of the Republicans of Maine in Portland yesterday is a most auspicious open ing of a campaign which, if carried on with the purpose which seemed to move the con vention, will result in a decisive victory. It is an indication that Maine is weary of the shams of demagogues which came in with the Demo Greenback successes during the past few years. Tho harmony which characterized every pro ceeding shows that neither clique nor faction will appear in the canvass, but that from Aroostook to Kittery the Republicans will pre sent to the enemy a solid front. The platform of the convention, without referring to the more advanced beliefs of many Republicans, is a clear, concise and acceptable statement of the creed to which all Republicans can sub scribe. The election of Col. Frederick Robie as candidate for Governor Beems to be a very fortunate one. A life-long Republican, honor ed aud respected by those who know him best, familiar with the people of Maine, having long experience in Hie service of the state, he would seem to be the man for the occasion.The candidates for Congress, selected for the most part with singular unanimity, appear to be fortunate selections. Mr. Reed lias already achieved a national reputation by his conspic uous ability. Mr. Dingley has been accorded a place in tho front rank of, members who show a capacity for useful Congressional ser vice. Capt. Boutelle is regarded as a man of deep convictions and sterling integrity, which commend him to Republican support and con fidence. Mr. Milliken is a man of unques tioned ability,jtm ply able to takes place beside his associates on the ticket, ttuch was the spirit, the expression and the work of the rep resentatives of the Republicans'of Maine. They are the precursors of that victory which Re publicans of that state confidently expect in September. _ [Springfield Republican.] The convention at Portland yesterday disap pointed that city, the largest in the State, which never has had a republican candidate for governor. Frederick Robie of Gorham, carried off the prize on the first ballot, having thirty-five votes above the number necessary for nomination. The nominee is rich, popular and an adroit politician, He was educated as a doctor, served as paymaster in the army, has been much in the House and twice its speaker, and is a member of Plaisted’s council and grand master of the state grange. This nomi nation will precipitate into the campaign^ the questions in dispute between the governor ‘and his council, and on this point there have been significant statements in republican papers to the effect that Plaisted has much popular sym pathy. But. while the preliminary canvass has developed bitterness aud a stronger nomi nation was easily possible, there is little reason to doubt that the party will be substantially united on Robie. The congressional candi dates are Reed, Dingley, Boutelle and Milli ken,—about what was expected. ^ [Hartford Courant.] The platform i= built of sound Maine tim ber. One resolution expresses the sorrow of Maine Republicans at the death of President Garfield, while another declares their confi dence in President Arthur and their approval of his moderate and patriotic course. In his speech from the rhair Senator Hale assured the delegates that the President was endeavor ing to bring all sections of the party into ac cord. If any too sanguine Democrat has been building hopes on the chance of dissensions among the Maine Republicans, he has been in very unproductive business. They are nnited, wide-awake, confident, and they are going to win. _ ]N. Y. Tribune.] Colonel Frederick Robie has been named by the Republicans of Maine as the next Gover nor of that State, and the course of the canvass will undoubtedly prove that the choice was judicious. The convention showed that the party is united and enthusiastic. The practical subsidence of the Greenback craze leaves the Republicans in a much better position than in former campaigns. One of the marked features of the gathering at Portland was the presence of many men who have not acted with the party for some years, but who now have become disgusted with Democratic fraud and Greenback vagaiies, and have resumed their former political allegiance. Republican success in Maine this fall seems certain. [New York Times.] It is expected that the Democrats, who are to hold their convention at Lewiston two weeks hence, will again accept the lead of the mon grel Greenhackers and keep up the “fusion,” but it is doubtful if many of the formerly dis. satisfied Republicans will adhere to their ranfcs Practically, Mr. Plaisted, who in years past was a Republican, will be dependent upon a Democratic following for support. The Pro hibitionists are supposed to be still somewhat divided, and, although the great body of them will support the Republican ticket, there is « small set of impracticables who are never conj tent without their own little organization founded on one idea. In view of the declara tions of the Portland convention yesterday it is hard to see how any party can be more prohib itory than the Republicans of Maine profess to be. They are in favor of enforcing absolute prohibition of the liquor traffic in all parts of the State and incorporating it as a permanent policy in the State Constitution. Aroostook Notes.
