How are the Mighty Fallen

\ very appropriate and effective dis
course was preached from these words on
July Eth, by Rev. VIM. Read. at Sedg
wick, on the occasion of the death and
burial of Capt. II. y. P. Spooner who
died of his wounds in the L. 5. Hospital
Davids Island, near y. Y.
Capt. Spooner enlisted as a private in
the 18th Regiment afterwards lst Heavy
Artillery at the formation of that Reg.
His love of country and convictions of
duty made him willing to sunder the
strong cords which bound him to a happy
family. and endure the privations. and
hardships of a soldiers life. After enlisting
he was made Sergeant of Co. b. in which
capacity he continued until the formation
Of Company l.. when he WAS appointed first
Lieut. under the brave and lamcnted Capt.
Parker of Ellsworth, who fell at the head
of his Company, at the battle of Spotsyl
vania. Lieut. Spooncr then led his Com
pany through the severe marching and
fighting until the arrival of the army be-
fore Petersburg. where he fell while lead
ing his Company in the fatal charge of the
Regiment on the enemy's works at thar
place on June 18th. which proved 50 fatal
to that noble Regiment After the death
Of Capt. Parker, Lieut.. Spooner WAS pro-
noted 10 his place, but did not receive his
commission before his fall He received
two balls. the first through his leg, but he
continued to lead and cheer his Company
ON until another ball shattered his right
After being in the army Hospital few
DAYS, he was renewed to Dayil's Island
Hospital y. Y. His friends were encour-
aged to h"lieye and hope that he might re-
cover. but his Wounds were too severe, and
his exhaustion too great for him to rally.
and on Sunday July l0.h, with his chris
tian armor on, and his soul sustained by
the christian hope, he was mustered into
the army of Christ the Capt of his
SALVATION to join his late Capt. and
thousands more of brave and noble men
who have offered their lives willing
sacrifice ON their country's altar during
this wicked rebellion. Capt. Spooner's
remains were brought to Sedgwick for
interment, by request of his wife, daughter
Of Hon. w. G.. Sargcnt.) who now has
her home at her fathers house. that she
may be near his last resting place.
Although dead, he still lives in the af-
fections of his numerous pupils and friends
in Sedgwitk. While living he had the re
spcct and confidence of all who knew him,
and his death is deeply mourncd by all,
and while mourning his death we as a
community would tender our heartfelt
sympathies to his afflicted widow and other
mourning relatives.

,gThe Sabbath School Anniversary
at the Baptist Church ON Sunday afternoon
was well attended, and the services were
highly interesting. The report of the
Superintendent gave a gratifying account
of the past years operations; and the pres
ent indications are that the year just en-
tered upon will be one of active interest
and success.
The address was by Mr.. B. w. Williams
of Boston. Mr.. Williams succeeds in the
difficult art of talking so as to both interest
and instruct children. He kept up the
interest all through his remarks, and re-
ceiyed the attention of the whole congre-
CATION.
The music was good, and some of the
pieces were executed in style to elicit
much praise. Upon the whole, the
services were very interesting, and We
have no doubt, beneficial.

iHE SfNpING AFFAIR AT OXFORD
The Portland Press gives the following
further particulars of the >caldng affair at
Oxford, which goes far towards relieving
II oil the brutality at first ascribed to tho
act.
The mill at Oxford has boon under the
charge OF young Mr. Robinson, in the
absence oi his father. Living with him,
and beloved by him, was a cousin. a lad
Il or ! / years Of age. The boy was full
of fun and Frequently exercised it upon
t6e female operatives in the mill. Last
W edncaday having obtained syringe. he
want into the mill and began to squirt wa
ter on tile females and the looms. The girls
immediately sent for Mr.. Robinson who
cane H. and observing the tricks of hi.
cousin thought he would punish him for
them.
Near by was vat containing water.
which not more than once a month is
more than blood warm. 1t is kept for
the purpose ot finsing ont the fannels.-
Robinson not having the slightest idea that
the water in the Vat was more than luke
warm, soused his cousin into it. 1t hap
pened that the VAT had Just been filed
with scaldng water and the little fellow
was so badly injured that he survived but
about thirty hours.
lounS Hoblns0n was arrested and taken
before II magistrate and gave bail for his
future appearance. lie is almost crazy at
the affair. He loved his cousin, and
would sooner have injured hinlsef than
done harm TO him. 1t is melancholy

The Heraid'S Nashville despatch Of the
26th says;
We have not u! occupied Atlanta. 1t
is believed here that We nave zone better
than that, aud are keeping Hoods army in
the city. There has been no fighting since
the ed.
1t appears that there is no disposition to
occupy the city. Other things can be done
beside attacking the rebel works. Some
days may elapsc before there is general
movement. Trustworthy information re
ccivcd to- day states that all is going on
right.
The TfibRae'S ITarpcrs Ferry despatch
of the 26th, SAYS the statement that Hun
ter's forces had met with Disaster and that
Generals Averill and Kelly had been kill
ed is untrue. General Crook was in com
mand az Winchester, and retired in good
order. before superior force after bring
ing away all his guns.
Every preparation has been made to
give the rebels a warm reception, if they
should cross the Potomac. Trustworthy
information fixes the number of rebels at
a5,000.
The statement that Hill and Longstreet
are with the invaders is not true. 1t is
merely Early returning. having heard that
the 9th, and 18th corps had deserted from
the pursuit.
The Heraia's despatch says Washington
and Baltimore are not yet regarded as in
danger from the present movement, and
unless the force is much larger than there
is any reason to suppose, their career will
be brief
The HeraidS Baltimore despatch of the
26th-9 ?. M, says:
At last accounts. Gen. Crook had sue
ceeded in driving the rebel advance, which
was pushing north, back to Bunker Hill
ten miles south of Martinsburg.
Rumors are now current of a fight near
lIarper's Ferry. No definite results are
given. Il is said General Hunters army
has been badly worsted.
The Times Baltimore despatch says
so far as is known the rebels have halted
at Martinsburg. No force has been seen
on the Potomac. The Baltimore and Ohio
railroad is unframed. The rebels appear
ed before Martinsburg at $3.50 p. IN. vester-
| day. showing two lines about $50 strong.
The commands of Early and Breckenridge
have been Joined by Morgan's cavalry, and
all under Hill.

strongly entrcnched at Brownsville, and
has a force sufficient to take the offensive

General Brayman had assumed COM

destroying the crops near that place, and
White River adyices of the Goth. state
that $50 of the 10th Ill. regiment were

mainder were either killed or captured.
