Another Sudden Death.

We clip the following notice from tho

the son Of Joseph Sears, Esa- late of
,Alorristown, ahdwa d gentleman of good
eharaeter and talents. lie win bewell

Himself and Wesley Matthews, whose
tragic death we record to-day, were play
mates together.

one of our most respected citizens, and
business men, died very suddenly Sunday
morning of apoplexy. He was well the
day before; but on retiring at night COM
planned of toothacho, Ahou' 2 O'Clock in
the morning he awoke his wife, and ply
sician was sent for. But medicine was
unavailing, and he died soon after 4
o'clock. Ft
"Mr. Sears was SO years old. He was
born in Morristown, and removed to this
town about 80 years ago. He was in the
mercantile business about 20 years, also,
postmaster for number of years, repre-
scented the town in the last Constitutional

Death or Wesley Matthews.

Sunday afternoon last Wesley Matthews,
the we'll known proprietor Of the Morris
vile House, started to &C to Mr.. Little's,
near Cady's Falls for the purpose, as Is
said, of getting some chicken for break
fast the next morning The bridge across
the little stream which enters into the
Lamoille in /" Egypt, as it is called, had
been taken up for repairs and the road at
both ends had been barricaded to forbid
travel. Several had, however, travelled
the road, aud by fording the Lamoille
twice, had got along well enough. 1t is
said that Mr.. Matthews had passed that
way on Saturday. He had not been gone
from Morrisville long however, before his
team was seen coming back on the run,
without its driver. ,Apprehendins some
trouble, many people started down the
river at once in search OF him. lie was
'e-..a +" No river, na"r thv shore, few
rods below the ford, dead. From the
situation in which he was found, and fron,
the fact, which was quite apparent, that he
had driven into the lori, but did not 90
out on the other side, it is supposed that
his horse became frightened and turned
suddenly, throwing him into the river.
He had on a very heavy overcoat, and
the current being very strong, he was
drowned before he could reach the shore.
When found, his hands were extended
upon the bank as if he had been making
a strong struggle for life, as every one
who knew him would expect.
Mr.. Matthews age was Sc years, lie
has been apopu'ar landlord for many years
in this Co, in Hyde Park, Stowe, Water
bury, Morrisvil,e, and was widely known.
In the early California fever, be went the
overland route to California, when he en-:
dured sufferrngs and priyations which
proved too much for many of his compan-
ions but his hardyfrape seemed equal to
almost any trial. His cutting off has been
sudden and awful, and will send a pang
to many hearts. He leaves q son by a
former wife, aud a young widow, whose
distress under this sudden and terrible
stroke is said to be intense, apd calls for
an expression of sympathy from all gener-
Gus hearts. "Poor West w-huudreds
will say who knew him well. He had
his faults it is true--aDl who has not P
hut there is not business or travelling
man in our county,we presume, who cannot
recall some act of generosity aud kindness
for which he is indebted to Wesley Mat
thcws. ..r
As his faults were such as injured him
self Sorc than others, we shall all forget
them, and remember only his manly and
generous traits. His fortunes have been
rather checkcre1, but he has always faced
the worst with rcsolute and manful heart
which has won our admiration.
His funeral will take place tomorrow,
at one o'clock, at the Universaist church.

MOUNT MANsFiELn HOTEL, stowe, Vita
thali, isa - y Aug, Sth, 1869. !
Mr.. EDIToR please permit us through
the medium of your columns to express
the very great satisfaction with which
most Of the guests Of this house witnessed
the dramatic representation of The
Hidden Hand" performed by amateur
actors drawn from the citizens of Stowe
or its immediate vicinity, on the evening
of Aug. 9th, last. 10. @
If there were some errors or shortcom-
ings in this performance, there were also
many mcritswhich might wei redeem the
faults, especially when we reflect how Of
ten we have noticed on the stage even Of
metropolitan cities, faults Of far greater
magnitude when the wide disparity Of cir-
cumstances is duly considered. a ldl
That few of the more youthful por.
ton Of the audience should have directed
some ridicule towards the defects alluded
to, was perhaps to be expected in any
theatre, eric or rural. But the more
grave and considerable portion Of tho spec.
tators who we're in a3large majority, made
proper allowance for each ofthesc partial
failures and rather looked with surprise
on the general excellence which was ex-
hibiied and the very deci led success Of
several among the performers.
The performance, take il all in all, WIS
highly satisfactory; and we think we do
not 60 teoiar ia giving il as the opinionUf
most Of the guests Of this house that rare
ly anywhere out Of New England could
the unpractised actors Of q small III and
town have given in presence of an audi
ence somewhat critical, so good specimen
of the dramatic art.

criticized, as we'll as many other officers who
took an active part in the conflict, will neces-
sarily be absent. At the best, any new deci-
sions hatmay be reached will therefore not be
fortified at all points by absolutely conclusive
evidence, and some of the questions involved
will probably remain as open to future doubt
and dispute as they are at this moment. If
the reunion results in an attestation of some
of the leading facts, this is perhaps all that

TILE NEW YORK JUDLCLARY.

The people of this city have heard often
enough comments on the scandalous corup-
ton in the New York courts, but except the
comparatively few who habitually read the
daily papers of that city in which the pro
ceedings of the courts are reported in detail
have any adequate idea of the Generalization
that actually exists In the hands of such
men as Justices Barnard, McCunn, Cardozo,
and others of the New York bench, Justice is
not merely brlesque, but its name is used
to cover multitude of crimes. These men
are the paid employees of politicians, railroad
spectators, and ring-masters generally and
all the machinery of the law is put in opera

their clients All the powers of the judiciary

THE GETTYSBURG REUNION

If special pains are not taken by those who
engineer the Gettysburg reunion movement
to avoid partiality, there is danger that, in
may be given to erroneous theories, and that
the whole demonstration will result in a
gigantic gratuitous advertisement of the new
watering place on the one hand, and injustice
to the memory of some of the dead and alb
sent heroes of the fight on the other. 1t is
perhaps unavoidable at Gettysburg, as well
as at all other great battle-felds, to prevent
the men in epaulettes from monopolizing the
honors won by the hard fighting and unfail-
ing courage of the rank and file. How many
blunders or neglects of commanding officers
We're covered up during the three
days fight by the heroism of
the boys in blue the world
will never know; but even the disputed ques-
tions between the officers may not be
equitably adjusted if the attendance of repre-
sentative men Is not complete. The absence
of single important witness may turn the
whole scale of evidence in an ordinary muir
der trial, and before complete and veritable
account of the details of one of the greatest
battles of the world can be compiled, every
essential link of testimony should be supplied.
This is even more essential at Gettysburg than
on ordinary battle-felds, not only on
account of the magnitude and com
plicated nature of the movements
which occurred there, but on account
of the bitter controversies which have arisen
in regard to the struggle Some of the most
/ important witnesses now slumber in honoreC
