DEATH OF ISAAC II. TOWNSEND,
ESQ.

1t is with feelings of deep regret tina,
we announce the decease of Isaac II.
Townsend, Esq, who for many years oc
cuPied conspicuous position in this
community OF which he was n native,
and maintained with The character of an
able counsellor, the attributes Of li,era.
ry and refined man.
Mr.. Townsend graduated at Yale Col
lege in 1922, and was admivo to the bar
soon after. Here he became dist, guished
for tina, assiduous research, power of dis.
elimination and critical txac,ness, which
were peculiarly adapted TO bis profession
and placed him among the most in!iuen-
lial and noled of his compeers.
In 1912, he became partially connect
cd with the Law School of Yale College
rs Lecturer, to whlch he finally devoted
his attention almost exclusively. As an
exponent of the Legal Science, he was
equalled by few who have filled that on
ernus Station, and was considered us pos
scssing better faculty for calculating
abtruse and difficult questions than most
others upon whom this duty has devolv-

political opinions. He subsequently preach
ed for short time in Greenfield, though
not with the design Of settliHg-aRd soon
after abandoned the pulpit altogether.
In 1904, he left his native State, and es-
tablshed democratic newspaper at Wal
pole, New Hampshire, which was conduct
ed with great ability and obtained wide
spread influence and popularity. During
the following year, he was called from this
situation to Michigan, having received
from President Jefferson the appointment OF
Secretary Of that Territory-the notorious
Gen. William Hull then being Governor.
For reasons which were never given to the
public, the Governor and Secretary did not
Icing harmonic in their views. The for
mer, it was said, suspected the latter of at
tempting to supplant him. However that
NAV have been, the Secretary shortly resign
ed his post and took up his residence in
Ohio.
In 1909, he received from Governor Hun
tington the appointment of Senator in the
Congress of the United States, to fill va
cancy then existing in the Ohio delegation.
In that illustrious body he soon distinguish
ed himself as an eloquent debaler, and men
of all parties acknowledged his ability as
statesman and his integrity as patriot.
Soon aflel the term for which he was
appointed had expired, he was nominated
by the President and confirmed by the Sen
ate, as United States Judge for the North
Western Territory. This new pos: he was
destined to occupy but short time. While
out upon judicial circuit, he contracted
fever which terminated fatally. He died
at Shawneetown, Illinois, August q, 1919

UWe are requested TO give notice, that
the Rev. J. V. Hines will commence Sc
ries of lectures on the Second Advent of
Christ, at the Town Hall in this village, on
Friday, the 29th of January. He will re-
main over the Sabbath, and give three dis
courses each day.
Mr.. Hines has the reputation of being a
talented ard interesting speaker; and, as We
understand he utterly repudiates the wild
fanaticism into which some who have been
identified with him have run, we presume
those who wish to hear a candid and able
exposition of his peculiar views, will have
an opportunity to do so at that time.
