-Doct. Warner of N. Y. University,
is delivering course of instructive ana
entertaining lectures in our village, on the
human system, the laws Of life, and best
means of securing health, strength and
beauty. These lectures are splendIdly
illustrated by very fine and extensive
Anatomical Cabinet, embracing manikins,
skeletons, embalmed human bodies, &c.
They are exceedingly interesting to all
classes of society, and we trust will be
fully attended. Doct. Warner IS fully
qualified for this department of human
science, as his lectures attest.
The War Drama OF the Union
Sergeant, or the Battle Of Gettysburg"
which was performed in our School House
Hall, the 9th and 2Sth, was a triumphant
success. The Hall was well filled by an
appreciative audience each evening.
| wish it could be witne. ed by citizens
in every town in our State. 1t will, If
possible, make all hate slumbering treason
more intensely thea ever, while 1t will also
create deeper and stronger love for our
country and Our noble flag, the Star
Spangled Banner. Success to the drama,
and those who under the auspices of the
G.. A. R. give it to the world.
The past week has witne sed the
death and burial of Mr. Chauncy Moore,
who resided two miles east of our village.
Mr.. Moore was very worthy man, and
enjoyed the confidence Of his fellow citi-
zens to high degree. Rev. A. f. Bailey
oficiated at the funeral last Saturday.
His remains were taken to Bristol for
interment.
Miss Mary Ann Swift. daughter Of
Hon. Samuel Swift, died last Saturday in
our village. Miss Swift has for years
been deprived Of good health. Yet, in
her infrmities, she has been the solace and
comfort Of her aged and honored father
She is the last of five sisters. Three
brothers survive her, but who reside Wesi
and were not present at her decease
Judge Swift is nearly 90 years Of age and
[ can say truly, no man among us more
fully enjoys the kind regard, love anC
esteem Of his fellow citizens than he.
Retired from public life, he is calmly
awaiting the summons that shall release
him from the cares and infrmlties of this
life, and introduce him to the society O.
the blest in Heaven. This last daughter
who was his comfort and support in hi:
declining years, was lady Of rare virtue:
and accomplishments, and in her home
shed fragrance and beauty around the
Preside Of surprising loneliness and ex
cellence. Her character was that of the
christian. Around it clustered the graces
of religion. Her life was not only one o
devotion to Christ and his cause, but alst
to her aged father whom she loved with
singular tenderness and affection. Blu
with her the inIrmitics and sorrows o
life are passed, while the full fruition o
her hopes and faith are realized in Heaven
"Blessed are the dead that die in The
Lord"
The pulpit OF The NJ E. Church wa
filed, last Sabbath, by Rev. B. M. Hal
o. Rutland, who preached two most ex
cellent sermons in his usual style, Iogica
and convincing. Several years since Mr.
Eall was stationed among us as GU
u,eal her. He mas, am glad to say, los
none of his vigor and power as faithful
expounder Of the New Testament. Lon!
) may he remain on the walls of Zion t
proclaim salvation TO fallen men, ant
build up the Kingdom Of Chris. upo
earth. CANDoR.
