the crime, which cannot be thought o.
without .shudder, nor recorded in con-
nection with his name, except with sti-
fling, heart breaking emotion Of agony.
The deceased was about six y years OF
age. He belonged to one Of the wealth.
est and most distinguished families Of
his. native city. He had received a thor
ough medical education in early life, and
was much interested in medical science,
but the care of his. large estates induced
him to corfne hi practice to a limited
circle. The establishmentSof the Hospi-
tai for the Insane and of the Asylum for
the Blind, in the vicinity of Boston was
greatly forwarded by the zeal and ener-
gy of Dr.. Parkman. He had the repu-
li,tion of skillful financier, had realized
large gains by investments in real estate,
and was exact and methodical in his
business habits. It is hignly to his
credit and no unworthy monument to
his character, that his best friends were
among his numerous tenants, who con-
sisted, to a great extent, of the poorer
classes.-N. Y. Tribune.

Hollow, Cornwall Bridge, and Sharon.
A report was made from the "Cold-
Water Army" in WATERFOWL, numbering
about 600. After listening to the re-
ports of the delegates, an adjournment
was had of half an hour, which time was
very agreeably spent in discussing vari~
Gus questions relating to the temperance
cause, as well as in testing the good
qualities Of the viands spread Before us
by the hospitable citizens, in the form of
a we'll arranged and substantial picnic.
The afternoon session was spent partly
in listening to report from DR.. Brown.
ofFarmington, who has been lccturingin
several of the local societies in the coun-
ty; also, to a very able address from
the Rev. Mr.. Richardson, of Terryville.
On motion of Rev. Mr.. Lyman,
Resolved, That at our next County
Meeting, instead of hearing reports and
addresses, as is usual, we devote the time
to an inquiry into the state of the tenn
perance cau:e, and the measures best
adapted to meet our present wants.
Resolved, That the various ministers
of the county be informed of the place
and object of the next meeting, and be
requested to give notice of the same, at
tend themselves, and see that their res
pective towns are well represented.
On motion of the Secretary,
Resolved, That each auxiliary So
ciety be requested to make an effort to
raise what funds they can to be expend-
ed in promoting the labers of an agent,
who shall lecture on the subject of tenn
perance through this County, and report
the amount raised to the President of this
Society, on or before the time OF the
next monthly meeting.
Voted, To adjourn to meet at Lltch-
field on the 4th Tuesday of December.

Sesti6ed that during the last summer he

without any previous consultation with
him, he (Spencer( copied the verses in
question from the Floral Dictionary, ad-
dressed them to Miss Guest, and signed
them "Henry your Lover," and then
placed them on tie top Of the book from
which they had been selected knowing
that the book was to be loaned to the
young lady, and expecting that she
would see them, though believing, as he
aHeced, that she would eventually learn
who had written them. In the course
of the examination of one of the witness
es, Mr.. Levin exclaimed in an under tone,
THAT'S l!e!' it reached the ear OF the
witness, however, and he claimed the pro-
lection of tie Court against the insolence
of Levin. The counsel explained that
Levin's remark had refer ence only to the
statement which had been made respect

The case was Submitted to the Court

verdict Of $40 fine and costs against

/ THE sTORM.-On Sunday night a
furious storm of snow and sIeet common
ced' which continued through Monday.
The trees became loaded with ice, and,
being at the, same time swayed by the
high winds, many Of them were baby
broken. This Tuesday, morning, the
streets of our village are strewed with
the limbs torn from the stately elms and
sycamores, while the younger trees in
our parks are either broken or bent to
the ground by the weight The tele-
graph wires, also, in this vicinity are
badly broken and torn from the poles.
The sleighing is excellent, though a
few hours sun would destroy it.
RWe regret very much to notice
frequent symptoms Of i'll nature between
the two Wing dalies of a neighboring
city. We regard it as one Of the disad-
vantages of having too large Wing ma,
jority. Partizans are so accustomed to
contest on election day, and preparato-
ry to an election, that is they canfnd no
opposition from an opposite party, they
are pretty sure to get up quarrel among
themselves. Nothing is better calcula-
ted to promote union and harmony in
political organizations, than strong and
vigorous opposition from an antagonistic
source. We believe our friends alluded
to always "pull together" in State and
national contests. 1t is only or locab and
personal grounds that they difer-but
we fear their differences either foreshad0m
or will produce disastrous results. What
Wing in New England would not mourn
to see the literary emporium fall into
the hands of the So called democracy p
Yet these local feuds may, in, the end,
lead to such disgraceful termination.
Willnot our neghbors save their grape
shot and canister for the Spring Cam

crackers upon each other2
