SIR Information has Just been communicated

few days since, combine to prevent the execution of
the law, providing for the arrest of fugitive Slaves.
and did forcbly rescue slave who had been arrest
ed from the custody of the officers of Justice. It's
possible that the city authorities may find it necessary
to call ID the military force to aid in the execution
of the la ~. Isuch should be the case, and the mar
shall or any of his deputies shall exhibit to you the
certificate of the circuit or district Judge of the u
States In the State Massachusetts stating that, in

to insure the due execution of the laws, and shall re-
quire your aid, and that of the troops under your

place under the direction and control of the marshal
yourself and such portion of your command as may
be deemed adequate to the purpose If neither the

DEATH OF DR.. C. w. WILDER. Dr. Chas.
w. Wilder, of Leominster, died at his residence in
that town on Wednesday, last week His disease
was eryslpelas. Dr. Wilder has been for many
years one of the most public spirited and enterprs
ing OF the citizens Of the County. He has been Of
tentmes member Of the Legislature and has held
other public trusts. He was chiefly instrumental in
pushing through the Fitchburg and Worcester Rail-
road, IN which he took the risk of investing large
amount AS an intelligent and efficient friend to the
public interests, he will long be remembered. He
was an educated Physician and a member of the
Medical Society. 1t is stated that he gave by his
will about $4,000 to the Hospital, at Boston, but
had intended to alter the provisions of the will. on
the next day, so to divert that sum Of money TO
the aid of project. before the public Of estab
fishing Hospital in this County. it is known that
this had become, of late, favorite plan with him.
and 1t was owing to his exertions, good measure
that the Worcester County Medical Society had civ
en- its sanction to the project. We believe the pet
tom for charter is now before the Legislature. Dr.
Wilder, we learn purposed to set apart the 500 900
alluded to, for the basis upon which to start this in
stltutlon, with the condition that the sum of 500 600
should be secured ultimately. The Hospital would
probably be located in this city, 1t is to be regret
