Fifty or SIXTY Lires Lost on the Coast
The great snow storm of Saturday night and
Sunday was accompanied BY number of lie art
rending disasters upon our coast, within hum
bred miles of the city, by which fifty or sixty
lives have been lost, and large number of FAM
lilies deprived of relatives and friends, and in
some instances, we fear, of those upon whom
they depended for protection and support in the
helplessness of youth or the feebleness of age
Five vessels were cast ashore on Squam Beach
during the storm. 1t is supposed that sixty
lives have been lost by these disasters, the UNI
fortunate crews and passen gers perishlng in
sirht of the land or in vain efforts to reach the
shore
The following is a list of the vessels, and the
number of lives lost from each, as far as could
be ascertained up to the hour our messenger left
on Sunday night
Ship John Minturn, Capt. Stark, New York
and New Orleans packet driven ashore on Sun
day morning about s o'clock. Five of the sail
ors and one passenger reached the shore much
exhausted.
Captain and wife, their child and servant,
and thirty-seven persons, passengers, or sailors,
persisted in attempting to save themselves.
Ship Orleans, Capt.---,New York and

Montpelier, Feb. q, 1916.


At regular meeting of the Congregational Church
of East Berkshire, VT held Feb. Sd, 1885, commit
tee appointed for the purpose, reported the following
resolutions upon the bject of Slavery, which were
accepted, discussed, and unanimously adopted
As the Church of Christ is "a city set on a hill"
for the defence of the Gospel as it is "the salt of the
earth" and the light of the world" therefore
ResoyUed Thatwe ought to bear decided testimony
against all sin.
lnasmuch as American Slavery is established in de-
iance of the laws of God and the dearest rights of
man--as it obges men to labor without reward-as
it denies the sacred right Of matrmony-as it promotes
Robbery, Theft, Murder, Licentousness, and almost
every other crine-tharefore-
ReSOlved, That we believe it to be one of the most
hca0uS and inaccessible Of all sins.
Resolved, That it is the duty Of Ministers to instruct
the churches and the duty of Christians to the
world against this destructive vice
ReSolycd, That professors of religion who persist in
this SIN after suitable instruction and warming ought
to be excluded from the fellowship of the church.
Resolved, That we believe it unscptural and unsafe
to promote to Office those who guilty of this sin.
RcSoUed, That at the throne Of grace we will re-
member those thu are in bonds as bound with them "
and in our intercourse whmen we will discounenance
oppression,
Voted, That copy of the above resolutions be sent
by the clerk to the Green Mountain Freeman" for
publication,

ly removing the chancesof war.
MEMCAN INDEMNITY. A resolution was offered by
Mr. Benton, calling for all the correspondence in rela-
ton to the payment Of the 4h and 9Th instalments of
the Mexican indemnity. There seems TO be no longer
any apprehension of message about Mexican af-
fairs which it believed the President would send
70 Congress, in case Mr.. Sldes mission should be
terminated in an unfriendy manner The late advices
show that Mexico, when her government shall become
settled, will be disposed to recognize Mr. Sdel and
even treat for a settlement Of all the pending Difficult
ties
IN The House but little has been done

dent to the whole at once if he pleases. The

of Notifications.
ELECTION OF PosTMAsTERs.-W. W. Campbell,
of n. Y offered resolution Morlar requiring the
Post Office Committee to inquire into The expectancy
Of making the Deputy Postmast elective by the peo-
pie of the district where the Post Office is located;

WhigS Of Massachusetts.

The Hon. Henry Wilson, prominent Wing mem
Der of the Legislature recently introduced Preamble
and Resolutions into that body, relating to the numer
Gus and alarming aggressions of the slave power on
the rights and liberties of the people of the North, and
pledgng Massachusetts "distnctly and solemnly" to
Incorporating oppostionto the further extension
and longer existence of American Slavery. The res
olutions were supported in powerful speech by Mr..
Wison-opposed by Mr.. Wales, (democrat) supper
ted by Mr.. Fits, Liberty opposed by Mr.. Gardiner,
(Whg) who objected to that clause in the preamble,
which censured the slave representation in Congress,
charged Mr.. Wilson with aiming to please the aboli-
tionsts, whom he impudently accused Of anneXng
Texas to the Union-said that it was as useless for
Massachusetts to renew her protest against slavery, as
it was to enact the laws of last yeOr-decared that an
hour and half of the precious time Of the House had
been wasted, that might have been devoted to much
better purpose-and insisted that if this preamble and
resolution should be adopted, the next measure pro
posed would be for dissolution of the Union-&c.
Instead of adopting these resolutions the whole sub
ect, on motion of Mr.. Tolman, (Whig,) was laid OF
the table!
In allusion to this affair." Mr. Garrison, who is SO Of
ten quoted by the Wings against the Liberty Party
Justly says:-
"There never was more infatuated party than the
Wing party Of this State. They are trying to serve
Liberty and Slavery, God and Satan-only Satal
and Slavery incompatibly more reyered by then
than God and Liberty. Put on the lash, We southern
alave-drivers Massachusetts will do your bidding
even to the extent of your dabocal wishes"
