Whereas, it has pleased the Almighty God in the wise dispensation of his providence, to re- move from our midst our beloved Friend and Brother ISAAC BUTLER, who departed this life on the 24th of August, A. D. 1854, and whereas his conduct whilst living merited our highest confidence and esteem, therefore, be it
 Resolued, That as Lodge we deeply deplore and mourn the death of our Brother, but at the same time we mourn our loss, we find consola- tlon in the thought, that it may be his gain.
 Resolved That we sincerely sympathse with the friends and family of our deceased Brother, and offer them all the consolation, which those who fully appreciate their loss, can give.
 Resolvel That the secretary of this Lodge be authorized to transmit copy of these reso- lutions, and preamble to the family of the de- ceased.
 Resolved, That the members of this Lodge be required to wear the usual badge of mourn ing for thirty days; in testimony of our high regard for the many virtues of the deceas d.

bows, and quivers. They moved of in eche. Ion as he approached them, keeping their hor- ses between them and his front. He dismount ed his men within rifle range and delivered his first fire. Before his rifles could be reloaded the Indians vaulted upon their horses and dash. ed upon his ranks. He mounted his men and received them with his revolvers Hewas soon discovered as their commander, and their ar- rows fell about him thick and fast' His first wound was through the bridle forearm, entire ly paraly yzing that arm; yet he continued to manage his horse, and was foremost in the hand to hand conflict that followed. He soon re- ceived another arrow through and through the abdomen; but with this mortal wound, he con- tlnued to direct, cheer, and animate his men, until he had completely defeated and routed his enemy. Their head chief was left dead on the field; four others mortally wounded, were left dead within five miles, Five of Captain Van Buren's men were severely wounded, but not mortally. His horse was badly wounded, and two arrows, besides those in his body, were left in his clothes and saddle
 When the Indians had retreated, he was ta- ken from his horse, drew out the arrow that was through and through his body, and, faint and exhausted from bleeding, prepared to die. He sent the express to Fort Ewell for relief Colonel Roberts, commanding that post, with its surgeon, without delay, set out with small party, and after riding fifty hours night and day, reached the scene of action. Captain Van Buren was still living, but had suffered beyond imagination from thirst and the excessive heat of the plains. Colonel Roberts sent him in charge of the surgeon to Corpus Christi, where he lived until the 2Oth, when he died from in- tor of +bo 1or b,t b T been touched by the arrow.
 If we consider this pursuit of large party of we'll appointed Comanche warriors, under a tropical sun, over a country uninhabited by living being-its hardship, it's toll, and fatigue in all it's relations, it may be declared one of the most heroic actions in the history of our Indian conflicts. There was nothing of the "pomp and circumstance of war' to inspire this little band. It is an illustration of that faith in duty that no peril can shake nor cir cumstance impair.

Fire in the Woods.

We continue to hear of extensive fires rag ing in the woods in all directions, and doing great amount of damage.
 A fire commenced in the neighborhood of Sunderland and Arlington, Vt., in the Green mountains about week since, and has been spreading with fearful rapidty for three or four days past. In the night time more than two miles of lurid flame are visible to the ihab- tants of the valleys. Many thousands of acres have already been burnt over, and large steam mill and several large saw mills were in imminent jeopardy, and would probably be de- strOyed.
 On Tuesday evening, as we learn from the Springfield Republican, disastrous fire was sweeping over the woodland, three miles west of Chester village A large tract of land had already been ravaged, and five hundred cords of cut wood had been consumed. It was thought that several thousands more cords of cut wood would be destroyed. The citizens were in great alarm. The wind was driving the fire with fearful rapidty, and the probab- lity was that many farm houses would be en- dangered. A large fire has also been raging for some days on "Wild Cat Hll," and vici- nity in Bernardston and at last accounts from 2OOO to 300 acres had been burnt over, with the prospect that much larger tract would be l included.
 A fire has been raging in the woods in Ash burnham, Mass, about mile from the depot for several days past, and a large amount of valuable property has been destroyed.
 The Montreal train on the Vermont and Ca- nada railroad on Tuesday, was delayed by a fire ill the woods at Swanton Vt. About a thousand cords of cut and dried wool, belong ing to the Vermont Central railroad, was de- stroyed. The passengers by the train were obliged to get around the fire to a point this side of it.
 A large fire of very singular appearance has been prevailing for several days in the woods upon the highest mountain peak southeast of the village of Wlliamstown, Mass, and over- looking 1t. It is literally cloud of smoke by day and pillar of fire by night. It stretches around the crest of the hill in huge-sem- circle.
 | A fire has been raging in the woodlands of Mir. J. L. Fletcher of Derry, since last Satur- day. It has swept over 60 acres, and burnt up some 45O cords of wood, all cut and coriei besides young growth and some large trees It has also run over the corner ot woollanl adjoining, belonging to Mir. Thos. P. Major
 These are but tithe of the destructive rava. ges of the element of which we receive ac- counts from day to day. The si 5ns of ram SC visible on Tuesday, have entirely paS~e a y,'. and the weather is clear and cool. ,t,css N have rain soon, the injury canse bv tho dr, ,; ( will become extremely serious.

Captain Van Bureu.

The death of this gallant soldier, in the faith full discharge of his duty, has called forth warm expressions of sympathy from the press through out the whole country. He was an officer of the gallant rifle regiment, that General Scott welcomed to the plaza in Mexico, with the memorable expression that they had been baptized in blood and fire, and came out steel :" A participant in every battle in the valley, and severely wounded at Contreras, it does indeed seem hard fate that he should have fallen in obscure skirmish, with band of nameless savages The following, which we clip from the Washington Union, contains fuller details of the affair, than we have before seen. We learn from another source, that within few hours previons to his death, he was considered entirely out of danger, and wrote long letter to his brother, Dr. Van Buren, of Indianapolis, which came to hand after the news of his death was received:
 It is but just to the memory of this gallant soldier, that the particulars of his fight with a greatly superior war party of Comanche h. >dians, on the plains of Texas, should be made known to the country. "The good that men do, should live after them" The fidelity, the unabated diligence, the devotion to duty, and the valor, that attest the truly brave officer, were all displayed by Captain Van Buren in tnlS recent cOnHlcJ. lie was n1Drtally, WOund- ed. His life was perilled and lost on the field of duty His bright example and name are the public property of the country. Let the prai- ses of good men, who never fail to applaud fidelity, go up to the hearts that are bowed with grief. It is poor balsam to the wounds his death has made, and yet there is conso- lation in the generous sympathies of the world.
 This officer, with only eleven men, took up the trail of these Indians on the 3d of July near the Las Moras, in the vicinity of Fort Duncan. With two Lipan Indians as guides, he followed the trail, without rest, over three hundred miles. Three times the Indians cros- sed and re-crossed the Neuces to elude his pur- suit His diligence was not abated, nor did the keen sagacity of these willy Comanches defeat his determination atthey should not escape. He as often swan and re-swam the river, and again took up the broken trail. On the 1lth, having pursued them over three hundred miles, he came upon them in the open plain, and they prepared to receive him. The Indians dis mounted, cast away everything from their hor- ses and themselves, except their lances, shields,
