Death ofHon. Daniel S. Dickinson.

The country will hear with equal .
surprise and regret OF the death Of F.
Hoa. Daniel :. Dickinson, of New
York which event took place at Ell |
mira Thursday evening. 1t was not
known that he was out of health, while
his age--siXty-siX years--was not
such as to raise any thought of his
sudden departure.
Mr.. Dickinson, though so long iden-
titled with New York, was another of
those sons Of New England who, away
from its soil, have added to the ma
tional reputation. He was born in
Goshen, Litchfeld County, Connect
cut, September 18th, 1900. In 1906
his father removed to the interior Of
New York, where the son grew up in
moderate circumstances of life, which
prevented any education of conse-
quence except such as his own active
intellect and aspiring determination
picked up by the way. But he man
aged to fit himself for the profession
of the law, to which he was admitted
in 1926, entering speedily upon fair
degree of business. In 1881 he re-
moved to the village of Binghampton,
which was ever after his residence.
Mr.. Dickinson's political life dated
from 1886, when he was elected to
the State Senate for four years. He
took an active part in the discussions
of the time, and made himself felt in
the State legislation. In 1912, he
was chosen Lieutenant Governor of
the State. In 1874 he entered the
United States Senate, remaining there
during the seven subsequent sessions.
His term comprised a period of great
political excitement relating to the
Mexican war, the annexation of Tex
as, the Wilmot ProvisO, the admission
of California and the Compromise
measures of 1850. On all of them
Senator Dickinson took a decided
stand as one of the recognized leaders
Of the Democratic party. After hi:
retirement from the Senate, Mr.. Dick
inson held, we believe, no public office
except that of Attorney General fol
the State of New York.
As we have said, Mr.. Dickinson
was recognized as one of the leaders
of the Democratic party, and we may
add, one of the most radical and un
wavering-up to the time of his retire
ment from the Senate. But when thu
rebellion broke o u t, making as i
did such revelation Of the treasona
ble guilt of the Southern wing of thu
! party, he threw all party ties to thu
winds In his prompt devotion to tn,
Government, and thenceforth his OLE
associates separated from him. Blu
the country had no more determined
and Jealous supporter, while his ex
ample and his eloquent words had
beneficial effect on thousands through
out the country. Few, indeed, of ou
public men have left more credita
BILE record, all things considered, du
ring the rebellion than did Mr.. Dick
inson. Of his ability and sound jude
ment, his career of itself furnishes sui
, ficient evidence. The excellence O
f his private character, the amenity an
obliging nature f his disposition
were testified to by all who knew hin
and will never be forgotten. Trul,
death is striking down our publ
men at a fearful rate.-Boston Jou,

must have soaked into the ground, Or
been washed out or diSsipated by the
rains which prevailed since Saturday.
1t is evident that after these muir
ders, the hellish perpetrator OF them
not being able to find any money IN
the house, came to the conclusion that
Mr.. Deering must have his funds
about him, and therefore waited his
return. The desperate man probably
laid in wait in the rear OF the house.
and commenced the work of death as
Mr.. Deering and his cousin were get
ting out of the wagon. He then drag
ged them to the place where their
bodies were found, as already dcs
cribed. The piece of meat that Mr.
Deering had purchased ON Saturday
morning was found in the box, under
the front seat of the wagon. 1t was
partly decomposed. There was nc
blood discovered about the wagon.
The cattle, between thirty and forty

Sudden state. For a season he would
be all flaming with religious zeal, and
then for a longer season this zeal would
not appear. Through him this peculi-
arity was largely given to the whole
town, in which till 1912 there was no
other religious church organization
1t was noted for seasons Of great re-
ligious excitement, sweeping over the
town like fire through a fallow, to
be followed by long season of declen-
sion, during which, all sorts of noxious
weeds would spring therein. 1t was
not till long after Mr.. Robinson passed
away, that n successful effort was
made to maintain religious worship
and ordinances at one place and week
Iy in Holland Indeed we are not
sure that the Methodist society have
ever done so. A small Congregation.
al society was formed in 1912. and
with some difficulty has for some times
sustained regular sabbath worship
with or without minister. But il
the whole history of Holland, regular
weekly sabbath worship has been, no
the rule, but the exception. While il
the whole history of Morgan, regular
sabbath worship at oen place has been
not the exception, but the rule. s.
much at least comes from difference il
character, unity ofsentiment, and pei
manencc of the first settlers in thes
two neighbOring towns.

FENIANs. Last Wednesday Mayor
Williams of Calais, Maine, telegraph
ed to Governor Coney that he was
apprehensive that party of Fenians
were about to make demonstrations
in that vicinity, and asked permission
to call out the home guards in that
city, consisting of two companies
Again, Saturday, he reiterated the
same request and made the additional
statement that large numbers of Fen
ians were constantly arriving at Cal
ais, and he believed that an invasion
Of the Provinces was to take place
from or near that point, and desired
power to cause the neutrality laws to
be enforced. Whereupon the Gov
ernor dispatched Adjt. Gen. Hodson
to Calais, with instructions to see
that the laws Of the State were not VIC
lated by any hostile demonstrations
OF the Fenians on the border, and to
take such action as the eXigencie5 OF
the case might seem to demand. Lat
CT dispatches state that about one
hundred and fifty Fenians had left
Portland for PASSPORT, and that large
numbers of the fraternity were rapid
ly assembling in Calais.
The above is the substance of late
dispatches to the Boston Journal from
the scene of excitement, and it sounds
really quite like war.
1t is undoubtedly true that large
numbers of the boosted would-be de-
liverers of Ireland are just now hover
ing about the frontiers along the st
CrOix, but that they are in that quar-
ter upon a warlike mission, we dc
D not for moment believe. 1t can bt
i readily imagined that a company o
: 'jolly Irishmen," supplied with fund

i make the trip down east for the pur
e pose, if nothing more, of giving tn
q New Brunswick authorities a Jog an,
s. raising dust generally along tn

the murder of Sarah NJ. Cornell, and
acquitted. The girl was found dead

The city Of Mexico is better supplied wi tn wa
ter than any city in the world. Il has two i'm
mense aqueducts-one seven miles long and the
other thrce-which bring the water from the
mountains to the very heart of the city thence by
arteries it is distributed in ever direction. There
are also numerous ar.ersian wells in the city and
its suburbs. By boring an average depth OF
eighty feet the water rises several feet above the
surface of the earth, ard flows in very bold
stream. In many instances this water is not at
all brackish, but is as ~ sh and sweet as that
brought from the mountains.
