They oN had vouchers for their good moral character in the shape of sworn witnesses. On their way home to Canaan they stopped at Gen. C.s in Goshen, where one of the herd. notwithstanding his good moral character caught in the act of stealing, and the stolen property taken away from the the1 after he had got into the wagon to go home do not know what others think but for one it will take all the Watsons in Canaan to make me believe that such a "critter'' that sustains 'good moral character should be admitted to the privilege of elector.

MR. EDTPoR,-I read at times in the papers of the doings of the thrifty farmers of town and coun try, and thought it would be wei! (as much in- crease is from the tllage of the poor to notice the prospects and prosperity at the Town Farm under the supervision and judicious management of Col Morse His crops the past year have been large. was there about the first of November, and being stormy Ia deocratc storm as one called t) the men were at work in the barn, I could not but admire the symmetry and beauty of the arrangement, some were husking, others conveying the golden corn to the crib, all actively employed in making prepara tions to shelter the twenty-five milch COWS that are kept on the farm. which noticed were in fine con- dition. and also two fine pair of working oxen and in the house they have old men and maidens, young men and lasses.' some of them at school, all we'll cared for by the worthy Matron, and are under the care of efficient instructors. think, sir that insti tuition to be good one and under good regulations and ought to be especially so regarded by all the unfortunate, and should ever be permitted to serve
 in Col Morses regiment, should endeavor to gird on the armor of Christian, and live under his smiles, knowing that he has had the poor with him for many years, and should try to cooperate with him in trying to do them good.
 One fact will mention, which is creditable Mr. Morse purchased twelve pigs of Lows Morse Esq of Northfeld, Nov F, 1857, all of on ha,er all white and onesquarter Suffolk breed, which were butcher ed at different times in 1888. some quite early and the last Dec. 2, and weighed in the aggregate 4916 pounds. Now, Sir, if this has been done by any one house or farm in the Mountain county, rich or poor ,vo would thank them to let us know it and we'll try again.

A Boy CARRIED OVER NIAGARA FALLS We learn from the railroad men that an adop- ted son of Mir. Gibbs, foreman ill the Niagara Falls Ptpcr Mill, was taken over the Cata- ract on Saturday afternoon last. The victim was promising little boy about eleven years of age, aud gcuerai favorite with all who knew niul.
 The Niagara Falls Paper Mill is situated on Bath Island. between Goat Island and the main land, and the machinery is driven by water power
 Gu Saturday afternoon number of men were engaged in clearing away the ice which obstiucted the How of water n the race and Mir. Gibbs boy was playing about the vicin- ity. In one place the race is sranncd by q narrow foot-bfidge of plank, destitute of rail tug or other protection on either side :; and somehow in crossing this he lost his balance and fell into the water. The current was very strong, and in an instant the child Was carried out through the bulkhead at the tail end of the race, aud prccipitated some ten feet into the fonming food short distance above the bridge connecting the two islands. The rapids were full of floating blocks of ice, and mingled with these the poor little fellow was carried down the stream. Hep could not be afforded, and the mortified spectators watched hiu till he was lost to sight. He was observed to raise his hand once, as if to remove something from his face, and that was all. The distance from the race to the falls cannot be much over fifty rods, and the fatal leap was not long delayed. It is not probable that any vestige will ever be discovered of the remains. The remorseless vortex beneath the falls seldom returns to land anything commit. ted to its mysterious depths.
