The community was surprised and shock cd, Tuesday Nov. 9th, to hear of the sudden death of Alonzo Holbrook, young man aged about 19 years. Sunday he and his brother was jumping over pile of slabs when his foot slipped and he struck on a sharp thin piece of slab, about six or eight inches long, a part of which entered the lower part of his body, he pulled it out. but it is thought that part broke of when he was pulling it out. Inflammation set in, he suffered considerably Sunday and Monday, and died Tuesday morning in great agony.

D@ Without in the least wishing to in. terfere with the editorial management of the Sentinel we venture to suggest to the proprietor of that establishment that he is strangely misdirecting his energies. Last week, in discovering misprint in our mo- tice of the death of Gov. Andrew, he neg lected to observe typographical error in his own notice of the same event. It is not surprising thathe prefers reading the ENQUIRER, but is he not under moral obligation to his subscribers to read the Sentinel also?

ANCIENT FINE ARTS

To the Editor of Me Neac Fork Herald:
 Respecting the relics of porcelain ware found in the late exhumations at Hercula- neum, which have been forwarded to the Society of Antiquities in London, whereof your correspondent says the bottle resem- bling Drake's Plantation Bitters was un- doubtedly placed among the ruins by tho agent of Dr. Drake, we desired to state he IS incorrect in every respect. If bottle was found there bearing our lettering, the language of tho Ancient Romans was diff ferent from the accepted literature of that day. Our Agent has other business than thls in Europe. and has not been in Italy at all: No doubt Americans carry Planta- ton Bitters to Rome; but trying to impose upon society of Antiquarians in this way, seems quite useless, and we do not appre clate the joke It is unnecessary for us to spend money in Europe while We are un able to supply the demand for these cele
 brated Bitters here.

 A great deal of cider is made at the mill in Bantam, and very much fun is made for those who watch the avidity manifested by the wise men of the village to procure the cheese after the makers are through.

Virgil E. Beach.

This excellent young man died at Mil. ton, on Saturday, at the age of twenty-five years. He had been resident of that par ish, engaged in mercantile pursuits for sev- eral years; and by his honorable and con- scientious business transactions and his pure moral and religious course of life, had secured the respect and affection of very large circle of acquaintances. He had just recovered from 8 state of feebleness, indu- ced by anxious and protracted watching over the declining life of an infant daugh. ter, and had entered upon his business with his usual activity and energy of pur- pose, when he was seized with the dipthe- na Tn its most malignant form, and very rapid was the work of the destroyer. He mes death without one fear, in full reliance upon the merits of the Redeemer, and in sne caimness of Christian confidence and nope. After the power of speech had iaiied him, and within half an hour of his departure, he wrote these words.
 Witness the death of one who h.s +,;oa c., tne nst nye years to be follower of tbe Rasaa a0 Loro; toeneSe that my Redeemer liveth. and tbs We who do His will, shall all meet at the last dsv

The Greene Murder

In succeeding columns will be found , report of the interesting trial which ha. resulted in the conviction of the man call ing himself William H. Greene. Although the circumstantial evidence against hin was strong, he owes his conviction, WI think, to his infamous previous character, and suspicious subsequent conduct. Amar of good reputation and honest behaviour could not have been hung on such testimo ny.
 Greene is man of more than ordinar, intellect and plausible manners, and a nat ural orator. The fact of his having mar ried three wives within two years. and the hardened villainy of his conduct at and af ter the murder of the second, make us sus pect he may have deceived, and perhaps murdered other women. The proved truth, however, is bad enough, without in dulging in surmises.
 Atrocious criminal and hypocrite as he is, it was impossible not to pity him as the damning evidence was gradually unfolded to the jury, and as he stood up to receive their verdict. His is not one of those stol i'd countenances we usually see in the pris oner's box, expressing but feeble apprecia tion of the danger, and none whatever oi the infamy of their position. On the con. trary, every line of his face and every movement of his limbs showed the keen sensibilities, the quick perceptions, and the yearning for sympathy that perhaps neces sarily accompany the gift of speech. His most revengeful enemy could hardly have required more than to see him as he was brought day after day before hostile au. dience, vainly looking about for friendly face, and watching, with shrinking ex- pression about the eye not pleasant to be- hold, the cautious working of the machine ry by which the law was reaching his life.
 He is to endure the further torture of a years delay of execution, at the end of which, his sinful soul will be hurried from the gallows to it's final account.
