oath. Mr.. Garfield was born in
Dutchess County, n. Y, in June, 1922.
In 1854 he came to Fremont from
3inghamtOn, and entered into part
nership with his brother, Mr.. George
Garfield, who was at that time en-
gagged in the hardware business in
this city. His health, always delicate,
became so impaired, that for the past
four years he has been unable much
of the time to attend to any business.
A few months before his death, he
began to fail more rapidly, and with
the advice of his friends, determined
to seek a different climate. In the
latter part of November he went to
Ypsilanti, to remain for time with
brother, who resides at that place,
but consumption had too nearly accom-
plished its terrible work, and he was
compelled to keep his bed. The de-
ceased was widely known and highly
esteemed among masons, having fill
ed many prominent positions in that
order. Many of the lodges in our
surrounding towns, are the product
of his zeal and activity as a Mason.
He was known as an honorable and
upright business man, and was re-
spected by all with whom he dealt
AS an earnest and consistent Chris
tian, he labOred to promote the great
interests of the religion which he pro-
fessed and lived. In this sad event
his family will have the heartfelt con-
dOlence of the entire community, who
realize that a good man has passed
from our midst.........The lectures of
Gen Gibson appear to have met a
flattering reception in the East, and
are very highly spoken of. 1t is pro-
bable that the General will deliver
his lecture on Mohammed in our city
ere long, and we bespeak for him a
general hearing.

We learn that a few of the boys be-
longing to School District No. 4, COM
monty known as Hale's District, de-
termining that they "must be let
alone" and the teacher just as deter
mined that the rules of the school
should be obeyed, brought on an "un-
pleasantness," on Monday last, re-
sulting in the "young rebels" pitch
ing into and ousting the teacher from
his seat, and turning him out in the
weather. Whether it is the intention
of the revolutionists to set up a new
government, with one of their own
number as head, we have not learned
at the present writing. 1t is said the
Directors are for peace.........Jas. My
ers, a young married man, and very
respectfully connected, and we believe
a native of Carey, was detected in a
night raid, unauthorized by law, in

rying off six sacks of flour, and when
arrested, he confessed to having stolen
cloth from the WoOlen Mills. He re-
turned seven pieces Of cloth valued at

Williams, and in default of 81 900
