CnuIch was constituted IN Hartland, Jan.
lob. 1898, and he was ordained as its
irst pastor, Sept. 18th. 1904.
Elder Grow belonged to that venerable
band Of fathers who were pioneers in
planting the standard Of the cross in Yer
mont and New Hampshire; and who had
to encounter the numerous privations and
hardships connected with the settlement Of
q new country, They were men eminent
ly devoted to God-strong in faith, and
mighty 10 prayer. Hence, the perils of
the wilderness did not dishearten, nor hin.
der them in their glorious work. Men of
blessed memory! As they go up to take
their crown, may the SAVIOR of their piety
and Gevotedness, fall richly upon their
sons in the ministry. .
Father Grow maintained an honorable
standing among his ministering brethren.
He had strong mind, and warm heart !;
hence his preaching was distinguished for
soundness in doctrine, and tenderness in
application. He would frequently pre-
sent some great distinguishing doctrine of
the gospel, with scriptural fidelity, and
then bring it to bear practically upon the
hearts OF his hearers, with much power.
In the early part OF his ministry, he trav-
elled considerably, and labored among
destitute churches in the north part of Yer
mont But the most of his ministerial
life was spent with the people of his
charge. 49,. $500
The church in Hartland was for time
prosperous; but at length it became great.
~ reduced in numbers by deaths. and re,
movals, SO that in 1888 by mutual agree
! ment, after taking the advice of council
| the church was dissolved, and the major.
hy, including the subject of this notice.
united with the Baptist church in East
| Windsor. To see the dissolution of the
church which he had been Instrumental
in gathering, was peculiarly trying 10 the
aged pastor but in all, he exhibited the
spirit Of the christian, and OF the ministel
of Jesus. Forl5 wears previous to hi:
DEATH his bodily infirmity was so great
that he was almost entirely laid aside from
his labors, and was continually looking
for the time of his departure. His las
sickness was long, and painfully severe
but was borne with singular patience, anc
resignation to the will of God. Indeed
he seemed to have no Will of his owa
asidefrom Gods will. He ever express

illness of Lung Complaint, Jonathan F:
Ruggles, aged 63. His end was perfect
peace. He had long protested and lived
10 the enjoyment ofthat religion which is

whence no traveller returns, to reap the
reward of his labors to all eternity. %
He was among the first settlers of the
town, about 40 years ago, and underwent
all the privations and hardships of new
settlements. But he was always engaged

ceived from him liberal support. Mark

 GREAT TYLER MEETING AT ROCHESTER,
 A haudbill calling meeting Ot tho Tyler men of inc ciIv was circulated in ROchcSeera few days since, causing many surnIiSeS as to its origin. and the designs of its authors. A meeting however, assembled at the time spS- <ified. and a Mir. E. B. Wheeler, lawyer and full bIooded loco loco, was appointed Chairman. Several persons were chosen Secretaries, but all declined 10 act, except young whig, who consented to serve, Provi- ded he celhd be permitted to sing CLdy SoNg before the meeting adjourned! This was agreed to, and the " meeting went on"-and queer meeting it was. A committee, how ever; was at length appointed 10 bring m report and resolutions, and they attended to their business, as will appear by the extracts For example the report says:
 "But shall such opposition intimidafe fh' President! John Tyler knows his duty pct ter His march is onward in the great heid of experiment! The anathemas of Congress fall unheeded upon his ear. The groans oi a suffering country move not thIS American Coriolanus! Proud and uny ielding, he stands firm and undisnayed upon the lofty pedes- tai of executive right. He will never yield to change, unless something can be made by it."

 Resolved, Therfor. th't we neminate John Tyler for the office of Prf<ident in lS4A and Martin Van Buren tnv Vice President wishing the latter Tyler's luck.

From Me W. Y. EIpress. THE PLEDGE OF NEW ENGLAND TO THE WEST.

When the Distribution principle was tenn porarily yielded in Congress to secure the passage of the Revenue Law, pledge was made by the Wings, more friendly to the Tariff than the Distribution, to stand by the last principle, if it should for time, be yielded to secure the more important one of revenue for the Government and protec- ton for the people. That pledge, we are assured. will be maintained, and we have the first guarantee of the good faith inten- ded by New England to the West in the message of the Governor of Massachusetts. After an able defence of the principle of Distribution, the Message concludes as fol- lows:
 "But the people must not be discouraged by defeat-they have the power to set this matter right; and steady, patient, re- soIute perseverance ct the ballOt-box will accomplish it. No friend of the great inte- rests of labor should slacken his exertions till the distributive policy is carried into successful operation.
 Notwithstanding the defeat of O measure so salutary and suspicious to the interests of the people, we find much consolation in the fact that the horizontal line of duties has been abandoned, and that the great principle of discrimination in favor of Ame- rican labor has been It stored. This we owe 10 Ine p0tlence ana peESeVeFsnS SneTkv of Congress amid endorsements such as have seldom beset deliberative body. That the new revenue bill will exert a happy in- fluence in renewing the courage of the de- spOndent. and in infusing new life and ener- gy into business, can scarcely admit of a doubt; but the work is not done, nor will 1t be till the principle of distribution is asser- ted and maintained. This may be done by such law us was enacted at the extra seS- sion, or the average amount received from the sale of public lands in ordinary years may be ascertained, and that sum paid into the treasury, while the surplus shall be dis tributed. Until the one or the other is ac- complished, there will be no lasting pros pcrity. JOHN DAVIS.

In connection with this subject we may as we'll observe here that nothing could be more unjust than the s~eeping censures which have been passed upon the details of the Revenue Bill. We were observers of the whole action upon the Revenue bill. which ultimately became a law. and we aver, without fear of contradiction from any quarter. that no bill ever passed through . severcr ordeal than this, or received a more careful investigation. Days and nights were spent upon it by the committees of Congress. and every means of information sought after which could add light upon so dark sub feet. The bill may not be perfect in all its parts, or all that it should be. or even satis- factory to all classes Of persons; but. with out perfection. it Is nevertheless . valuable and great measure. and one which will ac- complish the two great purposes of giving revenue to the Government and protection Co the people.

X COW at the present time residing at Pom fret. Conn. has for some time evinced the mos, kindly and maternal regard for an oc' cupant Of the same pasture-a little dirty, speckled and ordinary pig. The pig seems t6recibrocate her affections but with an eye 10 the ;loavcs and fishes.' They go side by side through the day-the COW frequently stopping to cafess her pet, in the most tender and affectionatc manner-the pig in turn, showing that hs appreciates her kindness. by plunging his head Unto her pail, and drink. ing her swill. On account of this latter hab- it. inc pig was shut up-when the COW went moaning around his enclosure. refusing to go in quest of food, unless accompanied by her cioven footed protego. The origin of this singular fancy is traced to pet lamb. which, during the last year occupied the same pas lure With the cow. with whom she was the subject of very ardent attachment. Last spring, the iamb being taken away, the COW remained for several days quite disconsoiate mourning as if for .he loss of her own young :; but on the introduction of pig few weeks since she appeared to install him in the temple of her bereaved affections. adopting him to Gll the place ofthe departed. .t
