THE MURDERED METHODIST CLERGYMAN
IN TEXAS. The Albany Jonymal has the fol-
lowing in regard to one of the men recently
murdered in Texas:
"Kev. MIR. Bewley, who was hung in Tex
as few days since on suspicion of abolition
ism, will be remembered by many who a.ten-
ded the General Conference at Buffalo last
May. He represented the Arkansas Confer
ence, and was recognized as peaceful, hum
bic and devoted evangelist. His views of
slavery were of the mlGest character, and he
would be deemed the last Ran to thrust his
views offensively-mild and conservative
though they were-upon any community
On his removal to Texas few months since,
he carried with him testimonials of his hu-
mility and devotion to his work. But he
was Methodist ! That, in Texas, is deemed
the equivalent of aboltionism and the de-
voted minister of Christ, guilty of no crime,
and on the merest suspicion that he cherish
ed offensive opinions, was hung up like a
murderer :"

affairs. At the age of sixty nine he enter
tanned Il hope in Christ, and united with the
Baptist church at East Burke, and often in
exhor,ing MS friends to become reconciled TO
God, would refer TO himself as one "plucked
from the pit of sin at the age of threescore
and ten years, by the hand of my Heavenly
Father" His last sickness was short, but
very distressing, yet he bore all his suffering
without murmur, and patiently waited the
coming Of the Lord, "who delivereth ;hc
righteous out of all their trouble"

Our Fair.

The officers of the Caledonia County agri-
cultural Society are, in connection with man.
nagers of the Fair Ground Company, busy in
preparing for the Fair on the Doth and 9th
of the present month. And we are glad to
hear that the farmers too are becoming en-
gagged in the matter, determined to do their
part. The show of cattle will be large and
good Notwithstanding the drought. 1t is
more than whispered that Waterford will
have to be awake to bea; Barnet in the show
of cattle this year. The Scotchmen do not
do things by halves, when they set about it.
Ladies offering articles for exhibition are en-
titled TO free entrance tickets to the Fair
grounds, and if they and our mechanics do
their part, as We doubt not they will, the
Fair will he one that will reflect no discredit
upon Caledonia county. Every body expects
a good Fair in Caledonia county, and such
one We will have or the signs misiead US.

Farmers and Mechanics Fair at Lyndon.

The first Fair of this new society will be
held on the Common at Lyndon Centre next
Thursday. In a brief notice last week, We
gave the organization: since then We have
printed the bills with the list of premiums, by
which it will be seen that this fair is conduc-
ted like most offering premiums up
on agricultural products and mechanic arts
with the single exception that instead of
cash premiums they offer diplomas. This
fact will of COURSE make no difference as no
one Cares for the raiuc of the premium award
ed, but for the premium itself If our Lyn-
don frierds work hard and spend considera-
bic money, We think they will have good
fair. We speak for good weather, and full

4 Town History.

Several citizens in st. Johnsbury, interest
ed in having its history incorporated with
that of the County, and of the State, as pub
lished in the "Nermont Historical Gazetteer
have so far arranged as to pledge the pub
Usher of that work that history of the
town shall be provided in the course of few
months. 1t is highly important for the val
ne of the compilation that all existing mate
rails should become available for examination
and use. 1t is therefore hoped that all per-
sons who possess items of fact, anecdote doc
nment,-any story. or any writing that may
be Incorporated or may illustrate, or have
any bearing upon the history, and especially
the ealy history Of the town, will lie dispos-
ed to contribute as far as they can, to secure
correctness and completeness to what is un-
dcrtaken. All concerned are earnestly invi-
ted to interest themselves and favor the work
by providing whatever they may of things
new and especially DID, Any such con-
tribu;ions will be welcome and serviceable if

and elegant hotel. 1t is located at the head
Of the Fifteen Miles Falls, and commands a
view both extensive and picturesque. The
Lancaster Republican in a lengthy notice of
this house, thus speaks of one of our towns
men who had hand in its construction:
"The interior Of the house and also the por-
tico has been completed by and under the
superintendent of Mr.. O. Fl. WEIGH, of St.
Johnsbury, VT, and the various styles of
moulding and finish are, as we learn, his own
designing. Mr.. WEIGH We are informed is a
gentleman of experience and taste in archi-
tectural matters; he certainly leaves in the
completion of the interior of this hotel very
iiattering certificate of his taste, skill and ca
pacity Our attention was called to the ME-
rit OF the workmanship. and We examined the
different apartments to discover any omission.
We were entire y unsuccessful, finding every
part finished with the same care ard excel.

are as follows: The door to Leightons cell
was not locked. There was paddock put

was unlocked. and the jailor's girl passed up

The Prince and the Orangemen.

The Prince of Wales in his travels through
Canada is meeting with some annoyarces-
The lrishmen persist in their peculiar demon
STATIONS. In several instances the 'Orange-
men" and the "Ribbonmen" proposed to pa
rade in welcoming with their peculiar bad
ges, banners, &c. The nob:emen in charge
OF his royal highness, refused to countenance
anything Of the kind, and ordered that the
procession should appear without partisan
decorations of any kind. To this the Irish
men paid no attention, and insisted upon pa
rad'ng with their insignia. The Prince ard
his retlnue consequently refused to land, and
passed by several places where great prepa-
tons had been made to receive him. The
feud between these organizations has been
long, bitter and bloody, and the British gov
erment has taken effective measures to put
down the factions in Ireland. Arches were
erected by the Orangemen at Kingston, bear
ing inscriptions peculiarly asgravating to the
Rlbbonmen, and had the Prince landed, there
would in all probability have been bloody
riot. The Duke of Newcastle acted wisely in
, refusing to countenance either of these par
ties by landing where they proposed to make
peculiar demonstrations.
