On Saturday, April 18th, W. H.
Palmer, nephew Of Dea. Palmer, came
to visit his uncle, and spend the Sab
bath with him. The young man be-
ing stranger in the place, the Dea-
con asked his nephew to attend church
with them, which he consented to do.
When the nephew was interviewed
by the good Deaeon's wife, she thought
he was too poorly dressed to take a
seat in their pew, therefore the young
man remained at home. On the fam
ily's return from church, they found a
note on the table, saying that he had
appropriated $50.
Supposition is, that he, took the
money to purchase new suit of
clothes, SO that he could attend church
should he ever visit his uncle again.

I forgot to mention last week, that
the ladies of this place had a calico
neck-tie party the week before, at the
Hotel, for the benefit of Mary Nettle-
ton, an invalid, who for the last five
years has been mainly supported by
the charity of Mr.. and Mrs, ,J.o w.
Dyson. The net RECEIPTS fully justified
the most sanguine expectations, con-
sideringI that the party was select
one, which was, as every party or ball
should be. We understand that sew
eral ladies were bonneted, ready for
departure in case the lottery of part
ners did not suit their tastes, which
was as it shouldn't have been, and that
several young gents were SO ungallant
as to barter and. sell their partners
drawn, which also was as it shouldn't
have been. The spice of such party
is in adhering to the arrangements.
The fruit crop on the hills is still
uninjured and the prospect of an album
daht crop of fruits was never more
encouraging-that is to say, on the
highlands. There is promise of a
more abundant apple crop than was
expected, considering the immense
yield last year.
Wheat looks exceedingly.sMell and
if nothing intervenes, large yield per
acre may be expected.

Struck by Lightning.


A Randolph correspondent furnish
es us the following account of sim
gular circumstance that happened to
two young men of that township, last
Thursday night, the 9th ult. The
one Elson Tickner's son, the other
Tickner's hired man, Isaac Wrinkle
man. Tickner lives about half mile
east of the center of Randolph. At
night the two went to the Center. 1t
will be recollected that at that time
we had showers in this section, in
most all directions, with thunder and
lightning. Before starting they fixed
the horse barn for catching rats when
they returned, leaving but one place
where they could get in or out. They
had their rat dog with them. A little
before nine o'clock they started for
home. A short distance before reach
ing home they went across in order to
come ON the right side for catching
rats and to see to their horses. When
within a few rods north of the barn,
walking arm in arm, they were struck
by lightning, one falling one way and
one the other. Tickner was hurt the
least, and says the first he knew he
was up and Winkleman staggering
towards him, and threw his arm over
his shoulders, but he was so blinded
and stunned for a while that lie could
not tell where he was, but finally
found his way to the barn, and from
there to the house, he don't know how,
with Winkleman. He says he then
ran to the Center for DR.. Bettes, but
was so excited. he hardly knew what
he was about. Winkleman remained
senseless from the time he was struck
until about the same time last night,
the 2Sth., when he came to his senses
again, and is III fair way to recover.
Tickner says that at the time they
were struck it had stopped raining.
The only marks of the lightning
were on the dog, and if ii. had been
anything but dog it would probably
have killed him. He was found lying
on the ground close by where the
men were struck, with blood. under
him, and remained stupid all the next
day, but is all right now. The only
instance / have ever known. or heard
of, where lightning broke the skin on
man or beast.

- ANOTHER illustration of fair and
honest elections under Radical rule is
furnished in the election of Senators
in Connecticut. The Senate of that
State is composed of eight Democrats
and thirteen Republicans. The total
vote for Senators at the recent cleo
ton was 81, ,494, of which the eight
Democrats received 47,3I1 and the
thirteen Radicals 47,1S3, being 412S
majority for the Democratic Senators.
Still the Radicals keep up their howl
ing about Democratic frauds at the
ballot-box. Where are the people
more basely defrauded than in Con-
necticut, where the Radicals have fix
ed up matters to suit themselves?

MIsINFoRMED.-The RaYenna Press
says: eve are informed that there
have been ten or twelve deaths from
Scarlet fever in the village of Kent
since the first OF February, and that
the disease is still prevailing there to
an alarming extent" This is untrue.
Our physicians do not know of sim
gle case at the present time. The dis
ease has had an unprecedented prev
alence, but it has been conquered long
ago. With our faithful and efficient
corps of ply ysicians we have no occa-
sion for alarm SO long as there are not
more than they can attend to. Scar
let Fever is not considered dangerous
here in fhe city, and as an instance of
how our doctors handle it we have to
say that DR.. Price has cured every
case he has undertaken, save one, in
which he was not called until the
child had been sick week or more.
Come to town, neighbor, and bring
the children along.
We copy the above from the Kent
Bulletin of Saturday. It certainly
gives us pleasure to make the correc-
ton. The paragraph we published
last week was upon information fur
nished by gentleman of that village.

coRREspoNDENcE

On Wednesday, April 26, this town
sustained the loss of one of its most
estimable citizens, in the death of Mr..
Lucius Way. His illness was of short
duration, being less than two weeks.
The disease was pronounced by the
physicians to be typhoid pneumonia.
His age was fifty-nine years.
Thus has passed away from our
sight, to the enjoyment of the beau
ties of higher life, good and oblig-
ing neighbor, kind friend, a most
excellent citizen, and an honest man.
No better tribute could be paid to his
moral worth, for language would fail
in endeavoring to pronounce a more
fitting eulogy for departed friend.
His quiet and unobtrusive manners,
his modest and Nretiring habits and
! disposition, combined with firmness
of principle, and character above re-
proach, had gained for him, a friend
in every one who made his acquaint-
ance, SO that it could truly be said,
that he had not one enemy in the
world. His industry, neatness and
good order were proverbial, and his
example as thrifty farmer can safely
be followed. He leaves widow,
whose numerous friends deeply sym
pathize with herin this sad and affiict-
i've bereavement. The funeral was
attended at the Union Church on Sun
day, April 80, when an excellent dis
course was delivered by Rev. o.
Blake, before the largest congregation
that ever convened in this town on
such an occasion. Mr.. w. was ever
an advocate for the principles of DEM
tocracy, and was elected by his friends
to the Office of Township Trustee at
the last annual election, position for
which he was eminently qualified by
the care, prudence and economy with
which he managed his own private af
fairs, and the honorable dealing which
characterized his Intercourse with his
neighbors. Verify, good man has
fallen.
We shall soon have two Sabbath
Schools in complete running order at
the Center, as one is already organ
lied and the other nearly so. IF sac
rifice could be made of a small amount
of will, a union of the two schools
would promote the benefit of both,
and they could inscribe upon their
banners this motto " United we stand,
divided we'' II create envy and jeal-
ousy, instead of love and harmony.
They have praiseworthy example in
that of the churches in, Aurora, and
we would say, go and do likewise.

was a crowd of gamblers who carried

The Circus on Monday brought out
the largest crowd that has visited town
for long time. The streets were
literally packed with people and it
seemed as if every body had turned
out to see the show. The balloon as
cension was the, winning card. The
eronaut made a'fine start rising slow
ly and gracefully, almost perpendicu-
larly, four or five hundred feet and
passing in southeasterly direction he
made rapid descent landing some
thirty rods from the starting point,
alighting with his big canvass sack on
top of wagon standing in the street.
Many were disappointed at this result
as they expected to see the arial navi-
gator soar away amid the clouds upon
an extended journey, but as this part
of the show was free there was little
cause for complaint. The performan.
ccs in the arena were of the first order
and were generally enjoyed bycircus'
goers. .ifso .sfls !.
