VIM, S, Eaton,

Died in Cambridge, Feb 23d, Bro.
VIM. S. Eaton, aged 32 years.
Bro. Eaton was most estimable man
of business and a worthy citizen and his
death is lamented as q severe loss, not
only by his family and his immediate
fricnus but by the community at large.
And Warner Lodge, of which he was a
member, places the following on its records
in relation to this sad bereavement
WHEREAS, it has pleased the All-wise
Father to remove our beloved Brother
VIM. S. Eaton fiom the cares and trials
and business of this transitory existence
to state of peaceful and eternal dura-
ton, as we reasonably and humbly trust
in that house not made with hands eternal
in the heavens; therefore
Resolved, That while we view with tear
full eyes and sorrowful hearts, this evidence
of our own mortality and the untimely
severance of earthly ties and youthful as
sociations, we rejoice in the reasonable
evidence Of a good hope, that the same
God will awaken our Brother from his
death sleep and give unto him that blessed
and complete life at his right hand, that
has no second death.
Resolred, That in the death of Brother
Eaton, society has lost an earnest and val
liable member and business an honest and
upright man, and hi; home, a true BROTH
err, loving SOD, and u provident and
kindly affectionate husband, and the craft
has lost one of its quiet ornaments.
Resolved, That we tender to the bercav-
ed wife and afflicted parents and sorrow
ing sisters of our deceased brother our
kindest symathies, and may He who "tem-
pers the wind to the shorn lamb" give to
their hearts that consolation which we
cannot, and may they draw near to Him
by the memory of their beloved one, who
is not lost but gone before, resting at last
in that sweet place which fell upon him
like a heavenly promise of glory.
ReSolred, That we will attend his fune-
raj tomorrow, Feb. 26th, in a body; and
that the society furnish a copy of these
resolutions to the family of our departed
brother and to the LAMoILLE NEwsDEALER
for publication. A true COPY.

Sec. of Warner Lodge, No. so.

Brown, the popular humorist, is to give
one Of his inimitable musical entertain
ments at the Town Hall, Hyde Park, when
as usual, when he is around, a crowdeu
house may be expected. Mr.. William
Hayward, the favorite ballad singer, will

in the country. rich treat may be antici-
pated. The programme is entirely new,
embracing several of Mr.. Browns latest
and best productions, together with num-
Der Of the newest and most popular bal
lads Of the day, prominent among which
is DR.. Ordway's celebrated song, "Dream-
ingof Home and Mother" in the rendition
of whica Mr., Hayward stands without a
rival. Those who want seats must look
to it in season-sfor Brown always draws
a crowd. On Saturday eve, goth inst.

" Too Coed"

part of our last weeks article on the Il
R.. which auudes to Gov. Smiths meet.
ing with one of our Directors and wishing
our great enterprise God speed, etc.,
and calls it ga note,"" too good to be
lost, "etc.
Well, now, brother Whiting, it as rath'
er good ''note" if you could only appre'
ciate it. But we know you do not and
can not until you have more light. We
cannot promise to give you the needed il
Elimination; but we have no doubt that,
even before the ful!ncss Of time, your eyes
shall see what they shall see! We are a
good way from railroads and telegraphs up
here, and know that, consequently, we arc
much behind our more favored neighbors
in many things, and also know, land confess,
that we are naturally rather obtuse; but
as one of our correspondents says "when
one gives us severe crack athwart the
mug, with an oak spoke, VIC almost
knoac that Suthin'S been hit" None Of
us profess to such refinement Of vision as
be able to see through a milestone, but
several of us have made out to see hole
through a ladder-even though you con-
tinue to doubt it!
Lamoille county feels grateful to its
friends in Franklin, and ace think they
have all along known pretty well who they
were and where they live. We can not
consent to let any of our readers get jeal-
Gus of any Of our esteemed friends.
Now, though not propounded just as
Solomon or his friend Hiram would have
propounded it, the above is a riddle,
which if brother Whiting will guess, be-
tween this and "Ay-time," we will send
him as handsome two-pound "speckled
trout" as ever graced his frying pan.

Our Correspondence.

We have at last another letter from
Rev. L. Bartlett, whom we had almost
given up, either as stoned to death by the
heather, or as having forgotten the NEWS
DEALER. We are very glad, as we are
sure our readers will be, that neither is
true. We shall ever be most happy to
hear from him.
Our correspondent from Nashua, Iowa,
who still persists in remaining incog., gives
us a spicy reply to her Waverly critics
this week, which abundantly proves her
capacity to take care of hersalf. Indeed
we knew this Interesting little fact, and
hence published her critics letters without
note or comment, although we thought at
the time, they exhibited too much feeling.
Still, such feeling is pardonable in those
pioneers of civilization in the West; and
we hope there will be cordial shakingo of
hands, kissing and making up" among
old friends. and that we shall continue to
hear from both parties upon subjects about
which there need be no difference of opin-
ions.

Here is fine National Bank in stone

Mr.. Editor, you will excuse this partlcu-

show in a measure the growth of the
West, and also the novelty of some Of the

One school building in this town of about
5000 inhabitants, and built Of stone, cost
the nice sum of $4,000, and it is very
complete in all its arrangements.-W be-

Mississuuoi Valley R. R,


The directors met at Newport on the
3D. inst. and elected Lucius Robinson,
President, 0. n. Elkins, Treasurer, and
James L. Allen, Clerk. i. Robinson, 4.
0, Bennett and j. w. Curricr were ap-
pointed committee to visit Portland to
see what can be done for building a road
from Newport to Island Pond to connect
there with the Grand Trunk and thereby
from through and the shortest line be-
tween Portland and Ogdensburg.
1t will be seen that so far the business
of this corporation, has been taken fully
in charge by those directors who reside in
Orleans County, and of their plans or in
tentions We are not sufficiently advised as
to be able to impart any definite intelli.
genoe, But we understand that certain
propositions calculated to open the way
for an early construction Of the road W
the Missisquoi Valley have been submit
ted by those directors living in Franklin
County, to which no answer has rs ye
been returned. In common with ou
friends in the valley, we await further
developments with anxiety, and yet will
confidence, because we put faith in til,
promises Of good men.--Messenger.

have written this, not merely ior
the narrative itself, which may seem hard
ly worth the writing, but in part to show
you what an excellent governmentwe nave
In this country, as general rule public
officers arc SO false and treacherous, that
to obtain justice for any wrong is almost
impossible,
But here, we have noble exception.
Hamid Bey is a man Of rare executive
ability, of great energy of character and
seems determined to promote the best IN
terests of all classes, within his juridiction.
He has an eye upon every part of his Held
and nothing escapes his notice. lie walks
the streets of the city in disguise, by night
to detect rogues, and sometimes takes
trip through the surrounding villages, by
night, for the same purpose.
He hasa careful eye to the health ofthe
causing the streets to be often and
and carefully swept.
In short, he is an excellent Governor,
and though Turk,-a Mohammedan,-
yet apparently friend of religious liber-
ty. He is certainly tolerant of other re-
ligions and ready to defend the rights of
all persons within his district.
In this narrative you may see also a
good illustration of one prominent pecul-
iarity of the people. In this case the Of
feuders themselves, or those most nearly
interested, did not attempt to plead their
own cause. This would be entirely con-
trary to their views of propriety. Here
everything must be done through media
tor. No man can plead his own cause d.
rectly anywhere he must not even make
an important bargain without the aid Of
a third person. If | wish to rent house,
| must employ some one as "go between"
He will make known my wishes and in re-
turn bring to me the proposals of the owner
and then, after long season of negota-
ton, may perhaps, secure, the rent in
view. If L wish to buy horse, the same
process is necessary. may ride the
horse and examine it all | wish, but |
must not at first, speak Of the price, un-
til third person has sounded the owner
in that respect, and then the bargain
must be closed by the aid of "A third per-
son.
This makes all business slow in Turkey,
and if one cannot learn the lesson Of pa
thence, his life here must be burden
There is little or nothing Of that straight
forward, honest dealing, which is so prom
inent feature of business life in N. H.,
but everywhere is found dishonesty, false
hood, double-dealing. This widespread
evil, nothing but the gospel Of Christ, in
It's purity, can correct.

This man as some of our readers will
remember, pleaded guilty to the murder
of Polly Caswcll and Susanah Kinslcy, at
Auburn, Me =, his and his accomplice's mo-
tive having been money, which they sup
posed the murdered parties to be in pos
session of, which, however, they failed to
find. Upon Harris statements, Verrill,
his accomplice, aud it would seem the real
instigator of the revolving crime, was ac-
quilted. Harris, who, by-the-by, is col
ored man, who had served in our army,
fully confessed his crime and admitted the
justice of his sentence and punishment.
lie made dying statement which will
convince most persons that his white ac-
complce was much more worthy of hang
ing than Harris. Harris seemed to have
no hope of saving his own life, and says
he makes the statement of Verrill's guilt
with the full belief that his soul could not
b, in peace if he diei with a falsehood
upon his lips He Went to the dreadful
safold, with a calmness worthy of John
Brown. Upon the subject of the death
penalty the people of Maine have recent
lyhad quite an agitation and the advocates
Of the repeal Of the law make great cry
about the revolving scenes of hanging.
Harris dropped eight feet and his neck
was not broken, and il was q good while
before the poor fellow died of strangnla-
ton. Surely this was sufficiently revolt
ing. But it does not make us forget the
the terrible midnight scene of two years
ago, when he crept to the bed of those
aged and defencelcss women, and ruthless
ly smashed their skulls. Harris himself
showed more sense than those pratng re-
formers, when he calmly admitted, on the
scaffold, that his life had been Justly for
Fitted. When Cain said: Whose find
eth pe shall STAY me-" it was partly at
least, hecause Of his sense Of the Justice
Of the thing. Appropos The Wisconsin
Legislature have repealed the act abolish
ing capital punishment, and other States
which have tried the experiment of re-
pealing Gods laws, are returning to COM
mon sense.

The Sing.

The two days sing last Tuesday and
Wednesday, under the direction of Mr..
ODER, in American Hall, was a very pleas
ant affair There was good attendance
better than could have been reasonably
anticipated in the awful condition of the
roads. The two daily rehearsals were de-
voted to drilling on the pieces intended to
BE- performed in the eve. Both ewes the hall
was well filled with an attentive audience
The exercises of each evening were varied
with songs, quartettes, etc. in which Messrs
ODER, Whipple and Oscar Cook and Mis-
ses Clement and Chamberlain did them
selves credit. The full orchestra was in
attendance.-Mr. Ober's schools closed
here last eve, and have given great salts
faction to his pupils, most of whom de-
clare that they have learned more in his
l6 lessons than they have ever leaned be-
fore. 1t is conceded that as teacher of
beginners, he has no rival in this vicinity,

DAFANlA, ILL, MuFCi 4 j OJ.
Ny OLD FRIEND NEwsDEALER IL left
my home in old VI. on the 22d ult, leav-
ing, as | trusted, snow enough in Lamoille
County for its use till my return. Pro-
vidcd, nevertheless, that the spunky
County practiced its usual economy, and
too, with so fair prospect that there was
more at hand. For we left the State in
a pelting snow storm, which followed us
on night and day. To our surprise, on
arriving at Troy, New York, found the
travel divided between wheels aud run
ncrs. The snow and ourselves kept en-
across New York, Michigan and Ohio.
Sabbath found us in Toledo, and still
showing. but not enough on the ground
for sleighing. The attendance at church
very thin. That accommodating Sabbath
sickness was prevailing here to an alarm
ing extent. We threaded our way 10 the
church of the late pastorate of our esteem
ed friend Rafiensperger. But his elo-
quent voice is no longer heard there.
Our ideas of the great West, | confess,
were not very much helped in what could
be seen of the country at this time of
year, and our disappointment through
Western N. Y. and Michigan, and even
the old Western state of Ohio, was en-
tirely unexpected. The N. Y, Central
and Lake Shore r. r. must have chosen
the poorer parts Of these states for their
routes Illinois looks much better But
what Of my attempting to describe what
is already familiar to everybody.
Here / find myself for the last two
weeks in this town Of 80 years of exist
ence, made up Of conglomerate set of
inhabitants, like other Western towns.
The bone and sinew of its inhabitants, l
find, are from New England. Here are
English, Irish, Dutch, Germans, Danes
and Norwegians, Negroes and others.
Among them, especially the Danes and
Norwegians, are fine mechanics. This
town is manufacturing town, with fine
water.privilege. Fox river, larger than
Onion, cuts the town in two through the
middle. Upon it | found paper-mill,
extensive carriage-shop, with its large
yellow stone block, machinc-shops, one of
these manufacturing entirely wind-mills,
for power to pump water for every far
mer on these prairies, and also to she'll
and grind his corn. DO you smile !?
These are not like the mills Don Quixote
fell upon with such fury. These knocing
mills are SO self adjusted they will pump
when water is wanted in the trough and
stop when the necessary supply is on hand
and if you wish to take atrip on the
great Pacific II. +. you will find them
along on that r. r. for power to supply
water and provender.
