a large assembly, at the annual meeting of the
Bible Society of Springfield, he delivered an
address, the object Of which was to inculcate the
importance of having a Bible placed in the pos
session of every family in the state. In the
course of his address he drew striking CON
trast between the Decalogue and the moral
codes OF the most eminent lawgivers of an
tiquity, and closed Gas near as can recollect)
in the following language:-'1t seems to me
that nothing short of Infinite Wisdom could by
any possibility have devised and given to man
this excellent and perfect moral code. 1t is
suited to men in all the conditions of life, and
includes all the duties they owe to their
Creator, to themselves and their fellow-men."

so much hard work in the temper

AT the village corporation meeting
at Middlebury. the other day, il was
voted to raise 20 cents on the dollar
to be expended in the improvement
of sidewalks and to pay other vii
lage expenses. 4 correspondent Of
the Rutland Herald says that three
years ago the village commenced the
Improvement of the sidewalks and
crossings by expanding from $500 to
1900 dollars per year for that pur.
pose. More than S13O0has been ey-
pended this year, and 250 rods of
tagging stone are quarricd for fu-
turp use.
Some men chopping wood in the
vicinity of the spot where the lost
woman of Ncrgennes, Mrs. Broder
lex was last seen, state that they
saw a crazy man cutting brush with
knife for some time in the piece of
woods whore it is suspected Mrs. Il.
was lost. Also that when they first
saw him the day previous he walked
straight ana natural, but that he
manifested. considerable lameneSs
when seen the following day. The
inference drawn is that he murdered
Mrs. b. and in the struggle was in.
jured, and the brush he was gather.
ing was used to conceal the body.
After building a fire and sleeping in
the woods the night of her disap.
pearance, the suspected man left
those parts.

disaster, where they worked with &

the labor was transferred to saving
the wool house, &c. This effort wa
successful. The wool hous,
contained a large lot Of wool. Near
~ all the goods were got out, an,
also all the sewing machines.
The fire was caused by the burst
