CHESTER. Several of our prominent
citizens who are interested ia AIe welfare
of the young, are making arrangements
with the pastors of the different churches
in this town, to give a course of twelve
free lectures in'their respective houses of
worship, during the present season, on
christian History and Biography" The
discourses will be given on week day
evenings, and all persons, without regard
to sect, nationality, or estate, are urged TO
be present. The discourse will be espe-
cially adapted to young men, and the
work is to be inaugurated for the purpose
of drawing such class from the haunts
of dissipation, and enlisting their SYM
pathies in moral and religious subjects.
Flor de Mayo, or some other perfume
equally fragrant, might be used to very

Connected with this gentleman, whose
recent death caused so much regret among
his numerous friends, is one of those re-
markable phenomena of the human mind
which not unfrequently startle us as being
beyond reason or philosophy to explain.
The writer Of this became acquainted
with Sol Smith in the year 1892, in the
city of New Orleans. That acquaintance
ripened into friendship, and continued
until the day of his death. That he
thought of the writer of this "Reminiscences

and forgave his enemies, Christian trait
which went down with him to the grave
and buoyed him mp above it. In his last
will and testament, bearing date short
time before his death, find these remark.

Mr.. Munson, of Pittsford, desired ev-

doing it. Mr.. Hyatt and Mr.. johnson
made some remarks, and the discussion
closed; after which prayer-meeting for

At7p. M, the Convention met in the
Congregational chapel, and listened to an
address from Mr.. Bacon, of Fairhaven,
upon the topic of Christian work and
how to do it. The address was highly
practical and interesting production,
bringing religion before the people as an
every day duty and privilege.
The following resolutions were adopted
unanimously.
ReS0lced, That the thanks of the Breth-
rem from abroad, be rendered to the good
people of Wallinford, for their hospitality
and kindness to all in attendance upon

A resolution of thanks to the Congre-

ing that they had been strengthened in
the good cause, and were better pre-
pared to fight the good fight and win the
victory for Christ, by reason of having
attended its sessions.

ARREST OF THE LENox SAFE BUR-
GLARs.-An of the men who are believed
to have been engaged in the attempted
safe burglary at Lenox, week before last
are believed to have been arrested. They
were taken into custody at Springfield,
Mass, on Saturday, through the vigilance
of the clerk of the hotel at Pittsfield
where they stopped. He was summoned
to the former city as witness before the
courts, and while there recognized three
of the men and procured their apprehen-
sion. Subsequently fourth party-the
same, it is believed, who procured the
team of Mr. McKeon of Troy, N. y
made his appearance in the city, and he,
too, was arrested and locked up. All the
men have plenty of money, and affect to
regard their incarceration as good joke.
BRANDoN.-The Howe Scale Company,
now under the name of the Brandon
Manufacturing Company, though the
name of the scale is unchanged, is again
in full blast. So far, they have been I'M
able-to fill the orders, but more men are
to be employed, and we hope to see it yet
fuller than ever before.
The Listers, after six weeks of hard
work, have completed their list for 1863,
and though fault must and will be found,
| the present Board have greatly increased
our list through additions to the personal
property, and certainly deserve credit for
the manner in which they have conducted
their labors. The most disagreeable duty
of any of the town officers, at the same
time the most important, our Listers have
hitherto charged but one dollar day,
and are blamed by every one for not put,
ting every body else in higher and them
selves lower A man seldom desires to be
a Lister second time, and they seldom
desire to have him if he has been faith
full. We hope our present Board will
be reelected another year, for we never
had men who seemed to be DESTROYS
of doing their duty, and who did it better
than it was done this year. Though you
will hear men find fault. it shows how
muchmorefaithful they have been, and ano
ther year, when a new apprisal is made,
and one which IS to stand for five years
let Us put in men who have shown that
they can do their duty, and pay them a:
much at least as a day laborer gets for
their services, and give them the credit
due them instead of fault finding.
