Barrett. LII. D., of Woodstock. AS any
thing like satisfactory abstract OF this
grafton, from the notes taken by your re-
porter, would require more space than you
can we'll spare lat least column OF your
paper we must forego altogether any
thing more than passing notice. Inc
subject selected was "The Moral Respon'
sibiiities of Educated American Citizens,
The orator was particular to attach fui
force and Importance to the word 'naoTdt,
wishing not to blend the obligations i
imposed with his duties as religious mar
or christian. To say that the subject wal
ably and powerfully handled, with {
scholarly wording, logical acuteness ano

er is we'll known and justly noted, is but
to record an event as it transpired in com
mon-place phrase The field was one O
ample scope, and the educated citizen, il
all his relations in life, was passed in re
view with the practical discrimination
and keenness of mind accustomed tt
dissect conflicting evidences and sift logi
cal deductions from sophistry. The pro
fessional man, the citizen, the politician
land there was the ruby the society man
and in fact every position in which the
educated citizen must necessarily stanC
out prominently as the trained athlet
of the schools, crowded the orators them'
with thrilling interest and thought-in
/ spring matter. Judge Barrett sometime
comes down upon his attentive listener
with a sentence of Ch0ate-like length ant
copiousness, which admits of no diver
sion of attention but when closely fol
lowed through, it is found to be perfec
in its syntax and complete in its argu
ment, with a sledge-hammer compactnes
which would be looked for in vain in tn
style of speakers and orators who mil h
be regarded as less diffuse by oareles
listeners, or those of which his subject die
not treat on this occasion. His rapi'
delivery enabled him to say much in tn
hour and quarter devoted to this Grafton
although we perceived that frequen
bridges were made in his notes, with
view to condensation and a saving o
time 1t would be well if "endowments

They were inhuman to their enemies, but

The friends of Mr.. Stacy at Revel

showed peculiar respect to his remains
and thus testified to the high esteem with
which his character and conduct had in
spired them. The casket in which the
body was enclosed attracted much notice
and admiration. 1t was very large, of 8
conical form, and considerably hi CHER and
broader at the upper Tor head) end than
at the foot. Its sides were festooned with
natural moss, almost as fresh as when
placed there in Revel, more than 13months

reminded all who saw them of the delicate
and affectionate attentions of his Russian

Neutral Rights on Sea.

The actual approach of hostilities be-
tween France and Austria and the proba-
bility that, unless the difficulties are
settled at an early moment, the whole of
Europe may be involved in long and
bloody war, has made prominent the
question of the exact status of private
property at sea in time of war. And the
prospect that England may be drawn into
the European war before it closes may
make her more willing than she has yet
been to settle up the Alabama claims, but
all negotiation about them will he OF
Washington hereafter, ana their settle
ment will not be one of the duties OF our
new minister, Mr.. Frelinghuysen. 1t is
said, however, that he will be instructed
to at once urge upon the English govern
ment a treaty regulating the practice OF
belligerents upon the seas during war.
At the suggestion of our government
nearly all the great powers of Europe
have already signifed their Willingness
to make all private property exempt from
capture at sea and to abolish privateering,
but England has steadily refused to give
her consent to such an arrangement, and
so it has amounted to nothing.
In view of the present hostilities, how
ever, it is deemed good time to
make another effort to. urge
that these principles of maritime wal
shall become part of international law
and our ministers to the other great pow
ers of Europe will soon receive instruc
tons similar to those given to Mr.. Ere
linghuysen. They willgalso all be in
structed to go further than ever before

ALLEGED ABUSE OF A SOLDIER.-The
Kennebec (Me.) Journal and it's Gardner
namesake, are indignant at the treatment
Of Henry Clark of Middlebury, Vermont,
who served in the 9TH Vermont regiment
and has just been transferred to the
Togus Military Asylum from the Middle
bury almshouse. His lungs are diseased
but he says he received no medical treat
ment until Governor Smyth of New
Hampshire heard Of his case and had him
taken away. 1t is certainly necessary
that the town of Middlebury should ex-
plain the transaction, for if the statement
u untrue or grossly exaggerated, she owes
it not only to herself but to the good
name of Vermont that the facts should be
known.
The Gardner Journal characterizes
Clark's treatement as follows 1.-THE
most emaciated individual we ever saw
is now at the Togus Military Asylum.

previous, and all declared that he looked

A QUEER CASE OF PoIsoNING.-War
against dogs having been duly declared
in Chicago, the policemen were supplied
with little pellets of raw beet, with few
grains of strychnia enclosed in each.
These, in the slang dialect of the police,
came to be known asa"lunch." A new
member of the force, probably from the
rural districts. took this term in its liter
al sense, and waxing hungry in the course
of his nocturnal rounds, refreshed himself
with several of the official pellets Feel
ing symptoms of collie soon after, he re-
sorted:to the standard prescription of
brandy and peppermint, but as it sin
stantly didn't do no good" he called in
the doctor, who pronounced the disease
"apoplexy of the bowels" Fortunately,
however, the patient happened to remark
that he "felt bully before eating that
lunch" This led to an inquiry into the
nature of the lunch and better under.
standing of the case, and the man is now
likely to recover.
