THE TOWN MEETINGS.

We must again remind our Whig
friends Of the Importance of making pre-
paration for the annual town elections,
which are ROW close at hand. In a ma
jority Of the towns in the State. they are
held one week from next Monday. We
are satisfied, from evidence in our pos
session. that our opponents are making
uncommon exertions to control these
meetings in consequence Of their bearing
upon the spring election. A letter now
before us, states that Loco Foco agents
are visiting the towns ia reference to the
matter. The Wing Town Committees
should Immediately take the matter in
hand, if they have not already done so,
and see that arrangements are made for
securing success at the polls. Itshopld
be remembered that U. s. Senator is to
be chosen by the next Legislature.

Public Lectures

Nv. Editor-Tt has often been remar-
ked by persons removing here from neigh
boring towns. and by persons spending
time here during our winters, that we
have no public method of passing cur
winter evenings. In almost every town
IN our vicinity, and even in some parish
es within our own limits, weekly lyoeums
and public lectures are sustained with
interest. That they are improving in their
tendency, BY furnishing to the young and
others some mode Of spending two or
three hours each week which perhaps
would be less probably employed, every
one will allow and we do not believe
the absence of them with us, betokens
SO much want of intellectual taste as a
lack Of energy in those who should move
in the matter. The lengthening evenings
already tell us Of the long winter which
is approaching. Would it not be we'll.
then. Immediately to form seme kind Of
organization. by which we can procure
weekly or semi-monthly address on liter
airy or scientific subjects? There are
in our midst. gentlemen Of acknowledged
taleats and requirements who have vol

of procuring an occasional lecturer from
abroad would be comparatively triaing.

DIn our last we gave brief ebitu-
airy notice of Gen. BACON. With pleas
ure we insert the following from the pen
of Chief Justice CHURCH, which came too
late for insertion in that number. Our
readers will be gratifed with everything
that can truly be said of the deceased.
Distant is the day when the name O.
Francis Bacon will cease to attract intense
interest in Connecticut.
Died--In this village, on Sunday morn
ing, the 10th inst, Hon. francis BACON,
aged thirty years.
No event within our recollection has
cast a deeper gloom over this communi-
ty, than the death of this highly estima-
bic gentleman. He was the only survi-
wing child Of our venerable neighbor and
friend, Asa Bacon, ESQ, for many years
one of the most eminent members of the
Connecticut bar.
Gen. BACON, the deceased, was grad
uate of Yale College of the class of 1888.
He pursued the study of the law with
O. S. Seymour, Esq, Of thi village, and
was admitted to the bar in this county
in the year 1870. After a shcrt resi-
dence here, he removed to Lancaster,
Penn, and soon assumed an encouraging
position in his profession there.
In the year 1912, he was married to
Miss Elizabeth butcher, of Canaan, in
this county, the very aaiable lady who
is now his widow.
After the very affecting death of his
elder brother, E. G. Bacon, Esq, he left
Lancaster and returned to this his native
place, with the hope that he might long
be the solace of his mach afflicted parents.
His highly honorable department. his
amiable and courteous manners and pro-
missing talents at the Bar, here, soon bore
him on towards the highest rank in his
profession, and made HIM favorite with
his professional brethren, with the Courts
and with the public.
In the year lS47, he was appointed
by the General Assembly, Major Gener-
of the Militia of the State, and at the
election of le49, he was chosen mem
Der of the Senate--the duties of which
offices he discharged with distinguished
ability, and held them at the time of his
death He leaves deeply afflicted wife,
an interesting young daughter. and ex-
cellent parents, stricken witch age and
grief, to lament his early death--all of
whom he loved with the deepest affec-
ten.
His afflicted relatives and his large cir
Gle offliends will not mourn without hope
of meeting him again. His sickness con-
tlnued about twenty days, and his last
hours were unclouded and calm. At his
request he was admitted member of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, upon
sincere profession Of his faith, and by
baptism administered on the morning Of
his decease by Rev. Samuel Fuller, DID,,
Rector Of St. Michael's Church in this
village, upon whose ministry he had for
several years been q constant attendant.
Health Of Mrs. Jadson and Fans'Iy.-.
