'T.rTCHFIELD.

Among the notices or the deceased, tnls week, will be found the death of Henry E. B. Betts, for several years resident of this village and one of our immediate predecessors in the publication of this paper. He had been labor ing for many years with the fatal disease which was at last to master him, but so hopeful was he and careful, and 80 remarkably tenacious of life, that his death strikes us almost as sudden ly and sadly as though he were taken away from the most robust health. He was of reticent disposition, but we believe of warm and gen. erous heart, strictly upright, thoroughly con scientious, faithful and kind at home and in the office. He leaves widow and one child.
 -Rev. D. L. Parmeles having removed from Morris to this village. requests his correspon- dents to address him at this place. He still re- taius the pastorats of the Congregational Church in Morris. . - The pews in the Congregational Church in this village, rented Monday last, for the en. suing year, at about l,500.
 The pews in St. Michael's (EpiscopaD Church, were rented the same day for something over $900 for the year ensuing.
 -We call the earnest attention iof our town readers to the important Proclamation found below. We trust the demands, threats promises, therein made will be observed and regarded to the letter, and we hope all. good citizens, who are in favor of maintaining their uaprecarious standing in society and who desire to be uncon- taminated in their public ~alks, will lend all the aid in their power toward the enforcement of the law; and we most abundantly hope that the General in charge may have all the grace and nerve necessary Cor the accomplishment of his Herculean task.
