CovENTRY.-The remains of Capt.
Enoch II. Bartlett, who fell in the bat
tie of the Wilderness, May 5th, 1864,
have been reclaimed from the Virginia
soil in which they were buried, and on
the It'll inst. were committed to final
resting place in Coventry, beside the
remains of his brother Maj. Amasa
Bartlett. 1t is quite remarkable that
after the lapse of nearly two years,
the nameless grave should have been
discovered and the remains be fully
identified.
On Wednesday of last week nice
young man came into the village of
Coventry with two horses, which he
offered at such a reasonable price that
he soon found a customer, who paid
him 5000, and he went on his way re-
Joicing, the purchaser also rejoicing in
his good bargain. But before night
the transaction assumed a new fea-
ture, and the bargain appeared less
desirable, when third person APP
peared and claimed the horses as the
property of a man in South Bronze,
Canada. from where they had been
stolen day or two before by a con-
tederate Of the young man. "Oh,
then and there was hurrying to and
fro, and there was mounting in hot
haste and the young man was pur-
sued to Montgomery, captured, bro't
back to Coventry, examined before
John w. Mussey, Esq, and ordered
to find bail in the sum Of $1,000.
which 1t not being convenient for him
to furnish, he was provided with lodg-
ing at lrasburgh at the public expense.
He gave his name as Thomas Bittado
from Berkshire, and said he was about
twcnty-one years old. A sorry way of
beginning life for himself He will
doubtless consider the climate of Gov
entry very unhealthy for rascals.-
The same day, the accomplice, or, as
BiIlado maintains, the principal i'll the
crime, was arrested in Richford.
SWEET AND NICE.-We were shown
this week a very superior specimen of
stirred maple sugar, manufactured by
Mark Nutter, Esq, Of this town. 1t
was as nice an article as we ever saw.
A correspondent from Westfeld
writes that more maple sugar is being
made in that vicinity this spring than
last.
REyIyAL.-We learn from the Elk
press that there is quite a revival of
religion now going on in Newport,
and that several have united with the
Congregational church.
At the Congregational Church in
this village, on last Sabbath, a collec-
ton Of some $40 was taken up to be
expended among the freedmen.
HIGHWAY RoBBERY.-A trunk was
taken from the Derby stage, a few eve
nings since, near James Morrill's.-
The thief, after taking from it a suit
Of old clothes and few photographs
wrote upon it much obliged" but
owing to carelessness or extreme mo
desty, omitted to sign his name, 50 he
has not asyet been found.-Erpess.
