The Late Paddock Thompson.

Rev Xadock Thompson died Mt Bur
lington on the 10Th inst.,in the Goth year
of his age The Burlington Frcc Press
contains a biographical sketch of this ex-
cellent and useful man. from which We
make the following extracts
Prof Thompson was born in Bridge
water, in 1906, and graduated Ut the
University at Burlington in 1928
Though he was ordained deacon in the
Protestant Episcopal Church in 1886,
he found his health too unstable to JUS
iify him in taking the charge of a parish,
and his ministrations as n preacher we're
only occasional At different times he
occupied himself as a teacher of youth !;
but his chief employment was that of in.
dependent Investigation, and the labors
Of authorship.
As early as the year 1924. the year
after lie graduated he published his GA
zottecr, a work which though necessarily
got up with haste, showed remarkable
industry, and contained a largo amount
of useful information. He continued to
accumulate facts pertaining to that sub.
ject, and in 1912 published his large
work on the Natural History of the
State. Gu its Civil and Political History
and that of its various institutions, fol-
lowed by an enlarged and improved edi-
ton of the Gaz4ttecr \ valuable APP
pcndix was issued in 1858. The whole
work is ono highly estimated at home
and abroad. 1t will always be a work
of authority and will connect the. name
of its author permanently with the liter
allure of his native State.
In 1858, the General Assembly Eau.
thorizod and directed the Governor TO APP
point Prof Zadock Thompson. State
Naturalist" and made it his duty to in
stitutc a survey of tie State, and to pub
lish the results of it, embracing its Ply
steal Geography, Scientific Geology and
Mineralogy. its Botany and General
Zoology. On this work Prof Thomp-
pended his labors in the University of
Vermont, Gin which he had been appoint
ed Professor of Natural History and
Chemistry two years before,) that he
might devote himself wholly to the
work. Ii was already far advanced and
could he have been spared to complete
it himself, it would have been of great
value to the State and to Natural Sci
ence, As it is, we trust it will not be
lost to the public
The complaint of which he died was
an organic affection of the heart, which
doubtless had been slowly in progress
for many years. Conscious as ho was
of growing feebleness of body, he did not
realize fully till few days before his
death, that bis earthly work was draw
ing to a close. In reference to his pub
lie labors, this conviction was for short
time painful one, and that he might DO
spared TO finish his work for the State

PUBGAToRY.--A gentleman, who
seems to be a sincere inquirer after
truth, addresses us by letter several
questions as to the Roman Catholic
purgatory. lie wishes to know how
long a time, according to the Roman
Catholic teachings, is absolutely nee
essary for getting out Of purgatory a
poor sinner that is burning there
That, we take it, depends upon the
amount of money that his relatives
and friends are willing to pay for his
extrication. If they were to pay not
more than five dollars at time for
him, he would have to stay in very
long while. lfthcy were to pay
hundred, he would get out great
deal sooner. If they should fork over
a thousand, lie would come so quick
out of the fire into the cool air that he
would be very likely to take bad
cold:-LouiSrtiie Journal.

Sweet Russian Turnip.

This is a very excellent turnip for
family use. as we have reason to know,
from triql Of some Of them. Mr.. Me
Kce says that about two years ago, he
received some seed from friend in
Michigan, and raised some sixty bushels
of the most splendid turnips he ever has
seen, for table use. They are large very
white and early, and will keep the year
round, without becoming pithy. They
are vastly superior to the English fiat
turnips, as they eau be grown on almost
any soil, Any person wishing to obtain
seed of the above can do SO by enclosing
IL! cents by letter.

WIscoNslN-The Assembly Of this
State, on Tuesday. the 10Th inst, decid-
cd by a unantnlolfS vote in favor of tho
right of the Republican claimant to his
seat from the Waupacca district. This
is an important decision. Upon it will
probably turn the question as to who is
the lega! Governor Of that State. This,
it will be remembered, is the district in
which Barstow.the Loco Foco candidate,
was returned as having twice as many
votes as there were inhabitants, inclusive
of women and children, for the Assem-
bly,, had the certificate Of the Board of
Canvassers, but it was secuted as it de-
served to be by unanimous vote of the
Assembly, in which the Democrats have
clear majority.
