EAST WALLINGFoRD.-M.J ]. Holden's
class in dancing closes February 14th, at
Fl. D. Warmers Hall, with rousing pub.
lie, to which all are most cordially invit-
ed. Messrs. Holden and Warner both
know how to make matters agreeable, a
practical demonstration of which will be
made of this act at that time.
The funeral of John Anderson was
attended, from the church, on Wednes-
day last, the house being crowded to its
utmost. The services were conducted by
Rev. J. P. Farrar, the pastor, who re-
marked that the Saturday night previous
he was called at late hour to visit young
Anderson, and, hurriedly preparing him
himself, fastened to the bedside of the dy-
ing man, who seemed aware of his ap-
preaching dissolution and desired to find
that rest and calm resignation which, can
alone, be found by an implicit trust in
the atoning blood and efficacy of Christ.
The kind, sympsthizing Christian pastor
pointed out the way in prayer and exhor-
tation so that the dying man, as death
came nearer and nearer, was calm and
tranquil still be seemed unsstisfed,
knowing that he was to die and must
leave some members of his own household
still out of Christ and exposed TO ruin /;
he urged and pleaded with such to seek
the "pearl of great price" and SD passed
quietly, yet triumphantly away into the
presence of his Redeemer. Mr.. Farrar
selected as his text, (which was selected
at the request of the deceased the beauti.
ful words of Paul, ITO die is gain" from
which he made deeply interesting and
impressive remarks. There were nearly
one hundred members of Mill River and
Spencer Lodges I. o. of G. T, present.
For the information of such as desire
it, or who feel an interest in his case, but
more especially for some of his particular
friends we will state recent Developments
in the case of Crosby A. Perry, NJ. D.,
Carpenter, Dentist, Truckmen, Bigamist,
etc. We are in receipt of both printed
aud written evidence of his final fate, in
fact Of his whole life, all of which was
most thoroughly ventilated by the papers
il the vicinity of Perry's former parade
ground, and, although it might
be interesting to his friends in this
region still, we shall forego the pleasure
of giving them the details of the case for
the lack of time and space After his
failure to appear at Newfane for trial, be
was closely watched. Mean while measures
were adopted, which, with the accumu.
lating evidence against him, made his ar
rest merely a question of time At length,
November Stb, he was arrested and con-
veyed to Jail, and there remained till
brought out for trial, January BID, when
he was removed to the Masss Chussetts
State Prison to serve out a three years
sentence. The testimony used him up
badly revealing many things MT at all
ereditable to his character. The frat night
of his imprisonment he offered five dol
lars to any one who would consn nj to re-
main with him during the night. At the
time of his arrest, and for some time be-
fore, he was operating as Life Insurance
Agent, surely he could exclaim "this is a
world of change; to-day an Insurance
Agent, tomorrow employed by the State
as bigamist, guilty of most heinous
crime" 1t seems quite satisfaction to
us to know that there is sufficient Justice
in law to execute some punishment COM
with the crime be SO wickedly
and, in so unprovoked q manner, commit
ted. JUSTICE.
