ILL.-We regret to learn that Mr.. Allen
Sanderson, Deputy Sheriff, and keeper of
the Jail in this place, had a serious turn
of bleeding at the lungs this forenoon.
It seems that before leaving home this
morning he had raised small quantity
of blood, but paying no attention to it,
he came down town as usual, and while
walking about, in the transacting of his
business, he had recurrence of the at
tack, and Immediately went into the drug
store of Allen and Higgins, where he
raised blood quite profusely medical as
sistance was fortunately, at hand, and the
bleeding checked, and he was shortly after
taken home The jarring necessarily at
tending his ride from the store to his
house again brought on the bleeding
which, however, soon yielded to the re-
medies administered, and we understand
that he was considerably better last even
ing.

SARATOGA, May 10, 1870.
hottor Rutland Herald Great prepa-
rations are now being made here for the
approaching "season." The principal
streets are being macadamized. the side
walks repaired and cleaned, many build
ings are enlarged and painted, and new
ones are being built. Of the latter, the
two most important are the new bottling
house at the Star Spring and the Union
Hotel. These are to be finished and oc-
cupied within month.
The business of the Star Spring has in
creased to such degree that the old bot

AT the recent public examination of
school teachers, the citizens Of the village
especially, showed their interest in the
work of education, by large attendance
on the exercises, and this has been the
case at each previous examination by the
present Superintendent, who evidently
seeks to impart some instruction and
awaken an interest as well as examine his
candidates, and thus far the influence has
been healthful.

the new one swung over it, making a neat
single seated carriage. The beauty of it
is, that it can be changed from one to two
seats, or the reverse, in minute, without
touching bolt spring or thumb screw.
In the Baptist house of worship, a
certain number of slips are owned by the

been agitating the matter of one sermon

the Sabbath school, but as yet the old
custom prevails. Reforms move slowly.

SUDDEN DEATH.-We regret to learn
of the death (after brief illness of dip

ent. We extend to our editorial brother
our deep sympathy in this hour sof trial
and affiiction, when called to surrender
one of his dearest earthly treasures and
the bright countenance which has made
sunshine in mis- heart shall no longer be
seen except in memory. Sometimes death
comes slowly as it were with long and
merciful delay, sometimes it comes with
overwhelming suddeness, like the hurri-
cane of the wilderness, only few short
days change the whole aspect of life, and
a link in the household is broken. The
death of those who are bound to us by a
thousand tender recollections and COM
mon interests-whose lives flowed on in
the same channel with our own, are taken
away and the deep shadows of trial over
whelm us in its vortex. Such is this
case, and may he who tempers the winds
to the shorn lamb, be the consolation of
this family in their deep bereavement.

aged respectively twelve and fourteen

Wayne, Indiana. While the train was
near CASTLE, one of the lads, while

The Nashville Banner referring to
the fact that the agricultural Script
committee refuse to accept as evidence
the letter Of Lewis the Banker, and
that it will not be able, for the want of
testimony to report sooner than the
adjourned session, adds;
"The only objection w lave to this latter
arrangement is that It may increase the incen-
tiyes Of our amable friend, the Secretary, to
have the State territorialiled into a military
satrapy. Otherwise we could await develop
ments with philosophic unconcern."
What huge triplicate of word-pairs
military satrapy," "await develop
ments," and "philooophic unconcern."
But for the visage of the "satrapy"
rising in the unmistakable future the
editor could surround his head with
that smoke of careless indifference that
rises from the altar. on which is offered
all sacrifices to a general love of man
kind.
We're we an advocate of tyranny and
the usurpation Of proprietary rights,
much as we esteem the editor Of the

enforcement of the laws and protection
to the law-abiding people by wholesome
punishment of wrong.docrs. Hence

HARD KNOT.


uOur attention has been again called to the
Stated lessons &C., from the North, which
are flooding the South and finding their way
into our Sundav-schOols We advise our
Sunday-school friends TO have nothing to do
with them. Uniform lessons Tor all Sunday

Ndshoiie Chri5hm ~ Adroeats,
At first, when we saw the above, we
thought it strange inasmuch, as for
the last eighty or ninety years those of
"us" down in these wooden sections have
been in the habit fgetting our Sunday
school books from abroad-North as
Brother Summers calls it. Several
reasons conspired 20 induce such action.
First, such books had but little, If any,
sectarianism about them; Second,
they were faithfully compiled, and
we're found to be efficient aids to the
teacher; and Third, being published in
large editions, we could purchase them
at about one-half the cost Of similar
publications issued from our local pub
fishing houses and in many instances
special donations we're made to schools
organized in INDECENT neighborhoods'
Although we are sinner yet these
facts have not escaped our notice and
being like woman in ono respect -
possessed of good share of curiosity,
we determined to find out what has
so terribly disorrangcd the tw on

pet dove all the way TO Nashville to
tickle the talking muscles Of his face
with the points Of Us wings whilst he
was doing in his Rev. studio-sanc.

From the New Haven, lcona) Palladium
A very sad incident occurred in Fair

the pastor, ascended the pulpit as usual
and the opening service Of singing,
prayer, and reading Of the Scripture
was performed.
During the reading and prayer it wa,
noticeable that Mr.. Collins was agjta.
ted. He once caught hold OF the desh
for support, and several time. spoke
incorrectly and mcoharcutly. When
he had announced bis text and com.
mcrced his sermon, his agitation had
reached such point that his wife and
daughter left their seats and went into
the pulpit, telling him that he was slci.
and must not attempt to do more. Mr..
Collins attempted to speak, but could
not. BY the assistance Of members
of tho chmch he was conveyed from
the church to his house, near by, and
the service of DR.. Fem Thompson
secured. The doctor on examination
found that the muscles Of the throat
and nearly the entire right side Of the
body had been paraly1cd. Other
physicians were called in, but the
patient continued to fail all the after.
