Mr. Came's intercourse with his associates was a marvel of unvary- ing courtesy and kindness. Not a harsh word ever escaped his lips, and no ill-feeling ever arose between him and those who bore with him "the heat and burden of the day." He was in every respect a Chris- tian gentleman, although he never professed any religious principles until the closing scenes of his life. His late associates cherish his memory as that of a dear friend whose place in their hearts can never be filled. He was reserved in manner and not strongly inclined to seek new acquaintances, yet his social nature was full and rich. He possessed not alone the qualities of the heart, but those mental gifts needful for the highest social enjoyment. Unusually happy in his domestic relations, his genial spirit found full play in the home circle. His strong and deep nature, however, while enjoying the sweets that lie upon the many slopes of life, was alive to the claims of those around him, and he possessed the rare quality of cheerfully making sacrifices for those whom he loved. In many ways Mr. Came had to meet his full share of trial, and he accepted the burdens which Providence laid in his path bravely, uncomplainingly, and bore them unflinchingly to the end. His remarkable patience and fortitude were exhibited when the fell destroyer, consumption, laid its unrelenting grasp upon him. For many months before the end came, it was evident to his friends that his powers were slowly wasting away, but no sigh of pain, no word of complaint, escaped him. He bore his lot manfully, and asked no one to share his final sorrow. Daily he came and took his accus-

tomed seat among us, ever presenting the same serene demeanor and extending the same cheerful greeting that marked his best days; and when the time arrived at last when he could no longer leave his home, his cheerfulness did not forsake him. Disease gained no moral triumph over him. Calmly and trustfully he awaited the end. The "ruling passion " marked the fatal hour. Up to the last day of his life he had continued to write for the paper as his strength permitted. That day at noon (his favorite time for writing), he called to his daughter to assist him from the bed to his chair, his spectacles were got for him, and he was apparently making ready to write, when death settled upon him. A brief struggle in his daughter's arms, and all was over.
Mr. Came's character, like our beautiful New England elm, was lofty, vigorous, symmetrical-a delight and a comfort to his friends. He was a true son of New England, and a fine specimen of its best growth and culture, cut off in the ripeness of his powers. The mem- ory of his life and character will ever be to his late associates a strong incentive to rise to the best conditions of manhood in all their rela- tions to life. In his death they lament a dear friend, and a co-laborer of no mean powers.

Carle and Carll Family.
This surname was of Scandinavian origin and signified a man or male per- son. In Anglo Saxon the name Carl-man represented a countryman, a rude rustic. In English we have carl-hemp, meaning male hemp or the largest stalks of that plant. This is quite distinct from the obsolete word carl, a churl or clown. As a christian name, in the forms Karl and Karle, it is com- mon in Germany and Scandinavia at the present day. The name was evi-

dently introduced into Scotland during the early incursions of the Norsemen and is first found where the Norwegian and Danish settlements were estab- lished. The prevailing tradition of the New England families ascribes to their ancestors an Irish origin, and there are some physical characteristics to sup- port this theory.
In consequence of the imperfection of the early records, it has been diffi- cult tracing the early generations of the Maine family. We find here and there a footprint in the sands of time to prove their existence in the towns along the coast from Kittery, where the name first appears, to Falmouth. There is a point of land in Kittery known as "Carle's point" and a small bay called "Carle's cove," from RICHARD CARLE, who sold ten acres of land there in 1666. In 1693 he sold six acres more, being then designated "of Kittery," but his name disappears from the records about this time and he probably left that town. BENJAMIN CARLL was a soldier in York, Aug. 26, 1696.
In a deposition by NATHANIEL CARLE, taken Mar. 26, 1801, when his age was 87, he says: "I came to live in Falmouth in the year 1734, and the year after, in 1735, Mr. Thomas Westbrook and Bragadier Waldo built a saw-mill with three saws and a grist-mill on the lower falls of Presumpscot, and I helped to frame said mills, the same being built on the southwest side of the river; and a year or two after they raised another mill on the northeast side, but it was never finished. There was a landing place at said mills near the ferry-ways."
The Carlls were early in Scarborough, but as they seldom had their children baptized and in consequence of their neglecting to have their births recorded in the town books, it is now impossible to connect them as they should stand in family relation.
LIEUT. SAMUEL CARLL was a prominent man in Scarborough for many years, from 1741 to 1763. His wife's name was Patience. He had children baptized Jan. 28, 1742, named Daniel, Simeon, Hannah, and Mary. He and wife united with the church the day following. SAMUEL CARLL, JR., m. Esther Burbank; they had children, baptized May 23, 1742, named Benjamin, Jona- than, and Anna. TIMOTHY CARLL was m. Dec. 20, 1744, to Deborah Farmer; they had a son, Timothy, b. Feb. 16, 1745. ROBERT CARLL, said to have been a brother of the first Timothy, was m. Apr. 11, 1745, to Rhoda Starbird, and settled in Saco, where he d. Oct. 5, 1778. He had a numerous family.
CARLLS OF WATERBOROUGH.
Capt. Nathaniel Carll, son of Samuel Carll, of Scarborough, and Esther Burbank, his wife, was b. in that town Mar. 11, 1747; m. Mar. 29, 1774, to Sarah, who was b. Mar. 10, 1749, and settled in Waterborough, where he d. of dropsy, Jan. 11, 1828. His wife d. with consumption, Mar. 29, 1820; funeral services by Elder Hobbs. Mr. CarlI was a soldier of the Revolution. Chil- dren :
NOTE .- From 1744 to 1760 there were a sufficient number of males named Carll married in Searborough, if they had been half as prolific as those whose records have been found, to have populated a considerable hamlet. No trace of many of these has been found; where they set- tled we do not know, but some of them undoubtedly left deseendants.
Robert, Simeon, Timothy, Jonathan, Benjamin, Hannah, Patience, and Samuel were proba- bly brothers and sisters, and may have been children of Samuel Carll, Sr. Samuel Carll, Jr., and Esther Burbank had baptized in Scarborough, Benjamin, Jonathan, Anna, and Nathaniel.

CARLES OF WATERBOROUGH.
SECOND BRANCH.
John Carll, whose father is said to have come from Ireland, was an early inhabitant of Waterborough, Me. He was a soldier of the Revolution; built the first house at "Carll's Corner," and cleared the first land there. We do not credit the tradition of so recent an Irish origin. John Carlt was probably born in Scarborough or Saco in 1759; d. Sept. 20, 1833, aged 74 years, and was buried in the old yard at Buxton Lower Corner, in the same lot with his son THOMAS and family. His first wife was Rhoda, but a wife Jane d. Sept. 23, 1829, aged 40 years, and lies by his side in Buxton. He probably spent his last days with THOMAS CARIL, in Hollis, near Salmon Falls. Names of children will follow:
I. STEPHEN, & both left Waterborough early.

3. PETER, b. in Waterborough, Sept. 22, 1788 ; m. to Abigail Hamilton, Jan 8, 1812 (she was b. in that town Apr. 24, 1793 ; d. Apr. 24, 1870). He followed the sea in early life; opened the first hotel at Carll's Cor- ner, then a place of considerable importance, now almost deserted and desolate in appearance; was deputy sheriff; removed to the eastern part of Maine when quite a young man, and settled in Milltown, where he kept a public house fifteen or twenty years. He then removed to St. Stephen's Upper Mills, New Brunswick, where he also " kept tavern." Finally he went to Princeton, and spent the remainder of his days in that town. He was a typical old-time landlord, possessed of much ability ; was kind-hearted, and never turned a stranger from his door for want of money. He was an original character, and many amusing anecdotes are related concerning his life while a resident of Milltown. Children as follows:
I. ALMIRA, b. Nov. 16, 1812; m. Nathaniel Lamb, of Princeton, Me., and had a respectable and intelligent family ; deceased.
IT. JOHN, b. Mar. 16, 1815; m. Louisa Waldron, by whom ten children. He m. a second time and had five children. Mr. Carll is now living at Princeton, Me .. and is a farmer. Mr. Carll has an old Bible con- taining the records of this family, but has not made a copy, as re- quested. Elvira, Joshua R., and George are living.
III. SALLY, b. May 9, 1817; m. Levi C. Dunn, of Orono.
NOTE .- I find by records in Waterborough, that a Mary of this family was b. Aug. 10. 1832. Were she and Sophronia twins ? Harriet, b. July 17, 1826, same date of Jason's birth. A Jason, b. May 17, 1829, same date of birth of Mercy.
