Ing, ana enjoyed the FESTIVITIES iucloouI
upon such an occasion, accompanied with
an oyster supper, and "a feast of reason
and flow of soul" The result was libe-
raj donation to the young minister, maxi
his heart glad and filing his purse with
the needful that clergymen must have, as
well as other people. Mr.. Bond is very
acceptable and useful preacher, and al
though young in the ministry, bids fair
to rise to eminence in his holy calling.
May the choicest of Heavens blessings
rest upon him, is the wish of his friend,
your correspondent.

community for her safe return upon the
opening of spring. In her sore affection,
she has the generous sympathies of all
who enjoy the pleasure of her acquaint-
ance. .

The Messenger says:
The general agents of the insurance
companies in which the sufferers by the
recent fire held policies have been here
and returned and no settlement has as yet
been made. They offer neither of the
parties any terms which they are willing
to accept and they said that some of the
merchants had told them that the stock
of goods destroyed was insured too high.
The object of this statement, which is
generally believed to be misrepresenta-
ton, is quite too transparent, and mean
while nothing can be done by the sufferers
either by way of repairs or sales.

Mr.. L. D. Webster, the brakeman in
ured near the lime kiIns on Friday last,
lied that evening about half past nine,
md his remains were taken to Rouses'
Point on Saturday. His wife arrived

should have to lose the injured leg, but it |
was not amputated. He was gradually
sinking then; but by this remark it seems
hat he was unconscious of his fate He |
received severe internal ini uries |
ae was faithful employee, and good
nan, and had declined a promotion on the
Dad because it would take him more from
lis family. The only family besides the
widow is a child about four years old. 1t
appears that he was caught by the brake
attached to the car. and was dragged and
oiled alternately along the ground, which
,aused such shock to his system that he
lever rallied and all efforts to restore
circulation through human or electrical
gencies, were unavailing. He was con-
cious to the last, and shortly before he
xpired he exclaimed to thosel around
i'm that he felt he must shortly pay the
,enaity of death for this accident, and
hen, as he felt his spirit departing, he
ave quick, convulsive movement, and
,lacing his hand behind his head, he
uietly died. The Vt. Central R. R. Co.
purchased him beautiful
asket and attired him in new suit of
lothes. ....
