nay AFTERNOON, July 10th, upcn the death of
Joseph ". Hutchinson, late of Waterford. a
of Co. A, llth Vt. Reg. Vols, who
was killed near Coal Harbor, Va, June, '64.
The services were impressively conducted
by the Rev. Mr.. Baldwin, resident minister
of the parish, and elders Chase and Wood
man. The latter preached a sermon to
large number of mourning relatives and
friends of the deceased, from the text, Yer
lily, verify, say unto you, that ye shall weep
and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and
ye shall be sorrowful. but your sorrow shall
be turned into JOY" St. John, chapter II :
20.
The sermon was considered by the congre-
CATION as one of the best productions of
that distinguished christian minister. At
the close of the services the sympathies of
the congregation were rendered to the widow
and her two orphan children, the parents and
other relatives of the deceased, by reading
the following resolution:
Resolred, That we heartily sympathze
with the afflicted family of the deceased, Jo-
seph W. Hutchinson, and offer consolation
by reminding them of his patriotic services
rendered as volunteer, to suppress rebel
lion, having for its object the subversion of
the only government which ever inaagurated
the theory of the universal right of all men TO
be free. A rebellion, in its religious, moral
aud political aspect, so profane as to demand
by the force of arms of such a government
an acknowledgment of their right to chattel-
ize four millions of its population, and their
children for all time to come, and to extend
his dom ination until all christendom shall!
acknowledge divine right so to do, which
distinguishes this rebellion, although near
the close of the ninteenth century, as the
monster folly Of the worlds history. To repel
such an invasion Of human rights, Young
Hutchinson, in common with hundreds of
thousands of his countrymen sacrificed his
life.
What an example? Who would not wish
to be the mother, the father, the widow and
children of such patriots For they shall
be as the stars of crown, lifted up as an
ensign upon his land" The state shall
claim them as their children and posterity
shall care for their widows and orphans. The
cortege was conducted by the Hon. Calvin
Morrill,. J.
