REM NIsoENcEs or TIL LATE GEN SCoTT.

l.
Rev. Minot NJ. Wells. Rector of the
Church of the Holy lnnocents. West
Point, preached sermon last Sunday, in
which he alluded to the respect which
Gen Scott entertained for religious wor.
ship. He said "be was constant atten-
dant upon devine service on Sunday when
health permitted; and so careful in this
that he was always anxious to explain
when any impairment oclasioned this alb.
sence. We have often felt how beneficial
must his example have been among the
community in which he lived. And we
now feel that we have lost most saluta.
ry influence in this respect. How often
must the young and strong have been
shamed 10 their listlessness by seeing the
aged and war worn veteran exerting him
self, many times with pain, to come and
present himself before the Lord. He was
early and among the first in his place !;
reverent and attentive in the worship, and
ever kindly judge of sermons. as he was
kindly in other things, courteous, coDsid.
crate and just"
A FACT FOR THE CURIOUS Paul Bick-
ford Of Greensboro, few weeks since had
a sheep alive in the morning at IL. NJ,
she was found dead. Mr.. Bickford
opened the sheep. and took from hor. two
twin lambs, one of them LIVED twelve
hours and the other, at three weeks old
was alive and prospecting as any lamb at
that age.
OIL WELLS The we'll Of the Caledo-
MIA company, which started off magnif.
Gently, has been quite contary Of late. but
Mr.. Buzzell, who returned Wednesday,
says it is now doing much better again.
The St. Johnsbury company's we'll was
cleared Of its tools and struck an oil vein
two or three weeks ago. Thus far the
yieldfof oil has been very small. but Ia.
ter Indications are more favorable. The
Barnet we'll struck an extra good "show''
a few days sioce. and Mr.. N. Baker, the
agent, who has been home few days
started back on Wednesday to look latter
Mr. VIM. Wilder. agent of the st. Johns
bury and Union companies, also returned
on Wednesday. The Union we'll has
thus far proved dry one and the compa.
ny are we'll nigh discouraged about it.
In the Mclndoe's well the tools became
fast about the Goth Of March, and at la
test advices all Mr.. Gilchrist's efforts tc
release them had been unavailing. Oil
was worth $3.50 per barrel in gold. and
was rising when Mr.. Buzzell left.
