windham County Court.

The cases thus far for trial this term
are so long, that they hardly average over
two per week. The Jacobs will case
from Guilford, which was commenced on
Wednesday the 10Th ult., did not
reach the jury till Wednesday afternoon
of last week. This case came to the court
on an appeal from the decision Of the
Probate Court for the District of MARI

ment of Samuel Jacobs, late Of Guilford.
deceased. The testimony showed that
the said Samuel Jacobs was a single man,
somewhat advanced in years, and possess
ed of property to the amount of about
eighteen thousand dollars, and that by his
last will he devised the whole of his prop
perry to Joseph Jacobs, his brother and
executor named in the will, upon his pay

acies, amounting to only about one-fourth
Of lis property. The defendants claimed
and introduced evidence tending to show,

cutting his will was wholly incompetent to
dispose of his property, by reason of bod
lily and mental prostration, and that he
was induced to dispose Of his property in
the manner aforesaid by the undue influ-
ence of his brother Joseph, the executor.
The evidence of the plaintiff tended to
show that the said Samuel, at the time of
making and executing his said will, was of
sound mind and memory, and in every
respect capable of disposing of his prop
erly, and that no undue influence was
brought to bear upon him by the said
plaintiff, or any one else, to induce him to
dispose of his property in the manner he
did. The jury returned verdict sustain

Woodstock Association.

The Woodstock Baptist Association
convened at Cavendish on Wednesday of
the past week and though it was in the
midst of the supplement to the equinoctial
storm, it was season of rare interest, as
attested by large delegation of pastors
and laymen from the various churches
composing the body.
The annual sermon was by Rev. j. S.
Goodall of South Londonderry. 1t was
clear and forcible presentation of the
doctrine of " Christian Perfection" The
business OF the Association unuer me able
direction of Rev. w. N. Wilbur as mod
orator of the meeting, was judicously dis
patched, and large amount of time most
wisely and profitably given to purely de-
votional exercises.
The spirit evinced was indeed most
cheering. All seemed to have come pro-
foundly impressed with sense of the ne
cessity of entire conservation to Christ
not to the service of Christ, but to Christ
Himself. There were pastors who had
attended the meetings for the past thirty
years or more, and had enjoyed many pro-
ftable seasons before, but they all with
one accord said they had seen nothing like
this.
II was encouraging TO see those old
deacons get up and confess to one another
before God that they had done little, and
then most solcmnly pledge themselves to
go home and soork with their pastors for
the promotion of the good cause.
There we're many present who were in
attendance at the meetings lately held at
Burlington where the Spirit came down
with such power, as your paper has pre-
viously recorded, and they seemed to have
lost none of the influence of those sea
sons.
The letters, not as usual, all looked on
the hopeful side, and spoke Of Frightening
prospects.
This session is the last of the sever
Vermont associations for 1866, and judg
, ing from what / have seen and heard a
} those which it has been my pleasure t.
, attend, and from the reports that hav'
come from others, should think it safe t.
, say that the prospects for Baptists in tn
State were by far more tlauering thai
they have been for the last quarter of
century at least.
The feeling is general all through tn
/ State that the time has fully come for earn
: est, prayerful, and self-sacrificing vigilanc
for the sole purpose of saving men fror
{ eternal ruin.
!. There we're many specially interestin
/. features of the meeting of which woul
: be happy to speak, but your space wi
n not admit of it.

Windsor County Fair.

The Windsor County Agricultural Fair
was held at Woodstock on Tuesday, We'd
nesday and Thursday of last week. Ac-
cording to the report of the Woodstock
Standard, from which we make an alb
stract, the exhibition was a fine success
and was only marred, and that not seri-
ously, on the second day by the rain. AS
usual there were but few entries from the
South end of the country. The show of
sheep was very large, and some of the
best sheep breeders in the county had
their fiocks represented. Among these
flocks were some from Hon. Hampden
Cults farm in Hartland, as we'll as some
from the well-known focks of Eben
Bridge of Pomfret, Gushing and Boynton
of Woodstock, Ora Paul of Pomfret, Tru-
man S. Slayton Of South Woodstock, and
many others.
In horses, first class the first premium
appears to have been awarded to +. d.

In the mechanical and floral hall there
was the usual display of interesting ant
useful articles. Mrs. c. S. Raymond o
Bridgewater seems to have furnished sew
eral articles of rare merit, among them 6
beautiful moss wreath, embellished, so t.
speak, with everlasting flowers dyed il
various positive colors and tastefully ar
ranged, and also two vases of everlastin,
flowers. There was also beautiful cas-
of wax flowers by Miss E. p. Smith o
Bridgewater, and another by Miss Fran
ces c. Montague of Bridgewater. Mr.:
r. Amsden of Windsor, had beautiful
breakfast shawl. For nice gold and silve
electro plating diploma was awarded t
E. G. Denniston of Springfield. A splen

The fair as whole seems to have been
pleasant success.

in the conservative wing of the Republi-

ground far in advance Of his past record.
He intimated that if the South refused to
adopt the pending constitutional amend

fronted with the necessity of accepting

suffrage along with it.

The Finest Speech Ever Made.

The Westminster Review-certainly
very high authority-pronounces the speech
of ABRAHAM LINCOLN at Gettysburg,
the finest that ever fell from human lips.
In view of this fact and that it is even
more pertinent than ever, in the present
political condition of the country, and be-
ing SO brief as well as SO good, we repub-
lish it below entire:
Four score and seven years ago our
fathers brought forth upon this continent
new nation, conceded in liberty and dedi-
Gated to the proposition that all mem are
created equal. Now we are engaged in a
great civil war, testing whether that ma
ton, or any other nation SO conceived or
dedicated, can long endure. We are met
on great battlefield Of that war. We
are met to dedicate portion Of it as the
final resting-place of those who here gave
their lives that that nation might live. 1t
is altogether fitting and proper that we
should do this. But in large sense we
cannot cOnsecrate, we caiinot hdlloW tnis

who struggled here, have consecrated ii
far above our power to aid or detract
This world will little note nor long re-
member what we say here, but it can new

the living, rather TO be dedicated to the
unfinished work that they have thus far SC
nobly carried on. It is rather for us here
to be dedicated to the great task remain

promise Union triumph. The following
facts show the current of public feeling
in !bat State. One day last week a meet

including 1870 returned soldiers in the
procession. On the same day 10000 met
in Lawrence county, and there were 400
veterans on horseback. On the same day
meeting of $4,000 people was held in
Westmoreland county, and still larger
gathering took place few miles out Of

Brattleboro, Sept. 27, 1866.

CROPS IN New HAMPsHIRE-The
Manchester, On. H. Mirror thus sums
up the crops in New Hampshire for 1866:
Hay about tbree-fourths as much as last
year; grain better than usual wheat, es-
pecially, is better than it has been for ten
years, yielding fifteen bushels per acre !;
corn is somewhat backward, but where
the frost has not injured it it will be
heavy; potatoes promise a good yield,
though we hear of their being badly eat
en- by worms in some sections; apples are
about on an average, there being twice as
many as was expected two months ago
As for stock, there is not probably more
in the State than can be wintered. Cat
tie of all kinds are scarce, and prices al
| high as at any time within five years
Good horses are both hard to find anc
hard TO buy. Sheep, owing TO the fall il
wool, are from 20 to % per mt cheape
than last year. Garden vegetables have
done finely, even in sections where they
have received but little care Taken to
gether we think the aggregate value o
New Hampshire crops will by more tn
present year than for any other for lon,
time, and, judging from the number o
turkeys we see everywhere, Thanksgiving
will be hearty and joyful one let wh,

VERMONT ELECTIoN.-It is rather late
in the day to talk about the election re-
Gently held in this State, but typograph-
ical blunder in some city papers carried
the aggregate democratic vote up to sirtees
thousand and now even to this late day,
we see that some of the democratic pa
pers Of this State have actually copied
those figures, when they must know that
the memory of man hardly runneth back
to the time when they ever began to reach
that figure, certainly not for the last fif-
teen years and probably not for seventeen
years or 1S49, when most of the dono-
Gratis voted with the free-soilers for Ho-
ratio Needham. Upon these fictitious
fgures--a typographical blunder in the
city papers-the democracy throughout
the country have heen trying to figure
gain in this State Where it was sixteen
thousand it should have been ten thousand
and then the gain would have been the
other way, and when the official canvass
is made, as it soon will be, by the legisla-
ture which meets next week, it will be
found that the total democratic vote will
hardly reach twelve thousand. We should
not have noticed this but for the fact that
the "sixteen thousand" democratic votes
of Vermont has been announced in Yer.
