EAST WALLINGFORD.-Last Thursday
was sorrowful day for the inhabitants of
this village The mournful intelligence
reached US of the death Of Chas. Fl. Allen
who died in Landgrove, and of Mrs. Bourne
in Kansas, daughter of Roswell Earl, and
lastly of Warren F. Jackson of Wiscon-
sin, who returned to this section a few
weeks ago, but that dread disease, coz
sumption, had already made too great in
roads upon his constitution, and, despite
the care and attention and medical skill
shown, he took his departure from the
church militant, it is believed, to the
church triumphant above. Our first init
nation of these sad events was on our ar
rival upon the mail train on Saturday
Funeral obsequies were then being held
over the remains of Mr.. Allen, and on the
following day, Sabbath, Mr.. Jackson was
buried, and Thursday next i. the day on
which the remains of Mrs. Bourne are ex-
pected. The two funerals already men
toned were attended by Rev. j. P. Far
rar, from Gen. V: 5, Qast clausel zap !

ing tn comfort and consolation was
, cached. But as time and space are both
limited, instead of saying more at this
time concerning the death of our fel,. ow.
creatures, we will take the liberty to sug-
gest to the living the propriety, yea, the
| absolute need of two things--a bell for
the church and hearse for the burial of
our dead. Aside from ev cry other aspect
Of the case, we say dec ency, not TO saw re-
speot, demand it, an d hope no one will
be heard to say, 1--WE cannot sfford it." for
the facts stand Numerically opposed to
such an idea. We further assert that a
lumber wagon is not suitable vehicle
upon '@hich to convey the bodies of our
beloved dead to their long resting places,
yet the difference between the two-the
hearse and lumber wagons less than
might be suspected; and further than
this, no hearse of any kind is owned in
this vicinity, or within several miles 4;
and still occasions where both bell and
hearse are needed are con stantly recur-
ring, yet the need is allow ed 10 pass IN
needed. We had hoped to have seen
these much needed and customary marks
of an enlightened civili sation in force
among us ere this, but go far have looked
in vain. True, it make g no difference
with the dead, but it effects materially
the living, in that certai n things are re-
quired and expected fir ON a people who
are able to furnish tn EN-. A proper re-
spect for the memory of our friends would
seem to call for all we have mentioned,

A wonderful Mineral Spring Dis
covered at Saratoga.

Editor Rutland Herald Some time
early in the season Mr. J. E. Stacey pur-
chased the old Indian encampment at
what was thought to be fabulous price,
and soon commenced sinking shaft for
the purpose of striking mineral water.
Heretofore it has been thought that no
mineral water could be obtained from the
east side of the fault which gives US this
valley ana its mineral springs. Enclos.
ing space sufficient for the working Of
their machinery, they have labored night
and day without giving to the public the
result of their labors till yesterday, when
an injunction was removed, and your cor
respondent was shown by the gentleman
ly proprietor that inner chamber, where
for the last two months they have
wrought SO faithfully. They have pen.
etrated the earth and rock to the depth
of two hundred feet, and there have
struck Saratoga's richest vein, the water.
though full of clay and of the consistency
of mud, is alive with gas, and so finely
is it incorporated with the water that for
hours it will sparkle and tremble az
though being brought in contact with
heated stove. Though too carly to fully
determine it's merits incidentally or com.
mercially, yet it is settler to the theory
that no mineral water can be obtained
east of the valley, and Mr.. Stacey is the
first man TO stake his thousands on the
experiment. Being gentleman of thor
eugh business habits, enterprise and
public spirit, we are pleased he has
met with the success he so richly de.
serves.
We have no doubt this will be added to
the many attractions of Saratoga, and
with traditional pretty sounding Indian
name let us christen it, and drink deep Of
its healing waters.

CHEsTRR.-Friday evening we were
blessed with shower, and rained moder-
ately until the ground was wet to the
depth of three inches, but the ground be-
ing SO hot it is drying off very fast, though
it has done great good to the dropping
vegetable crops. Some of our farmers
have 80 far advanced with their haying
that they now say many fields only yield
one-fourth Of a crop. The injury comes
from the severe drouth of last season So
well as this. The rain of Friday last was
very timely for the corn and potato crop.
GA Friday the examination of the
school in District No. 6 closed, Miss
Emma Wood, teacher. In this district
there has been great advancement in the
right direction. A spl endid school house
with ample yards and good teachers The
report and record of the register show an
unparalleled advancement and interest.
AS high as fifteen per cent. show entire
attendance and perfect lessons and deport-
ment The examination puts Miss Wood,
as a teacher, number one. Although
young in years, as teacher she now oc-
cunies a position creditable to herself and
such as will ensure her the highest rank
and pay. Rev. Mr.. Hale, Judge Rounds,
and Geo. L. Fletcher were present in the
last days examination, and addressed the
school and parents there assembled. Let
US have more such schools and parents
will see that their taxes and labor is not
spent in vain.
No damage to the railroad in this
town or at Bartonsville by the rain Fri
day. The streams are so low that it will
take long rain to fill them before over
flowing can take place.

ABSTRACT OF PROF. BODWELL's
ADDRESS.

The speaker remarked in opening that
had subject been given him, his task
would have been a comparatively easy one
You are members af a theological society
l theological man. Theology is much
discussed. 1t is a subject high as the
theme OF God, and broad as eternity. All
should become acquainted with its teach
ings. To be ignorant of the affairs of our
country, her prominent men, her history,
would be accounted a shame, Men study
zealously the anatomy of fossils, and the
organization of lizards but how few
give the same careful attention to theolo-
gy. Young men, you will soon go forth
into life, let me give you some words of
counsel and advice. There are many who
consider it fashionable to meet in argu.
ment infdels-I do not think so. 1nfidel-
ity is not scholarly, it never has been.
do not doubt but what FL. Spencer, Stew
art Mill, and other writers are upright
men, but their religion is questionable
their reasoning has no impression npon
me.
Rationalism is prevalent in our country,
yet doubt the expediency of refuting the
arguments of Rstionslists, The reason is
sometimes most unreasonable. Faith is
supreme, founded in testimony. Reason
without faith leads to false conclusions
and death. How small the arguments
brought up by sceptics, They never had
