CHEAP GOODS IN WALLINGFoRD.-Ag good story
is told of a man who, seeing a notice out at a
store window, Selling off at cost 20 went in and
purchased mirror, which he took home rejoicing
at his good fortune A few days after be CHANGED
to visit store lately opened, and upon enquiring
the price of a mirror. same as he had purchased
previously, found the retail price TO be ACTUALLY
less than the 'cost price" with which he had been
enticed or ''sold." The point is readily seen.
Nobady cares how much profit merchant makes
on his goods, providing they can buy of him less
than at any other place. The question is, who
sells goods the cheapest! OF course it is the man
who buys to advantage. Now, A. Hill & Son OF
Wallingford Vt, have a large and well assorted
stock of clothing, all of which has been bought
since September 1870. Wishing to close out their
winter goods, overcoats etc. this entire stock has
been marked down to prices which defy COMPETE
ton, and the same rule will be observed
throughout their entire stock. Boots and shoes
of all varieties, hats and caps, crockery, Yankee
Notions, groceries of all kinds, especially teas,
from which they have considered it their duty to
take off the duty since Jan. LIST. Their sssort-
ment of dress goods is complete, and they offer
among other bargains, elegant plaids at IS cents,
which were held at so cents Wholesale price early
in the season. Also few shawls and blankets
cheap, to close. But why say more Call and
see the goods and you will be convinced.

Samuel Adams Fish.

Samuel Adams Fish, son of Hon. Nathaniel
Fish of West Haven, died of consumption, Dec.
seth, 1870, aged SO years. The life and character
of the deceased deserves something more than a
bare notice of his death. he early manifested
desire for knowledge, and to accomplish this OBJ
ject he attended school several terms at Fairfax,
VT. At the age of % he entered Oberlin Institute
where he remained till the war broke out, when
he enlisted with the nine months men into the
l4th Vermont Regiment. After being wounded
by the bursting of q shell at Gettysburg, he was
obliged to remein the ground some days OF
stormy weather, where, it is supposed, he con-
traeted a cough which indicated the disease of
which he died. 1t was at 0berlin that the great
and radical change occurred in Mr.. Fishs moral
feelings The effect of his conversion upon his
intellectual character was marked. he became
more manly and mature. Entirely unconscious
of his own attractiveness, he was content simply
with not having wounded offended where at
the very he exciting the strensest
esteem; and yet was he ever ready to point out
and enlarge on the excellence of those with whom
he mingled Transparent as the day, he was con-
fded in as soon as seen for to see him was to
know him and warm in his affections he lived
and moved in the happy circle of which he formed
part, only to love and TO be loved. There was
nothing in his life calculated to move and to
strike by the recital; but for the reason, his
departure will be felt most deeply by those who
knew him best.
BE leaves a devoted wife and son, parents,
brothers and sisters, to mourn his untimely loss.

ANOTHER IMPOSITION ON THE CHI
NEsE IN CALIFoRNIA-A new imposition
has been laid upon the Chinese in Cali
fornia. in the form of an enactment for
bidding their carrying baskets on the
street. AS this is the only method they
have of Transporting their wares, of course
blow is struck at their trade, which
amounts to sheer persecution and nothing
less. They have been in the habit of SELL
ing vegetables from door to door, trans
ported by means of baskets attached to
either end of a long pole, and balanced
upon the shoulder. By this custom house,
keepers have been greatly accommodated,
and through 1t many Cinnamon found
their sole means of support. Now the
petty tyranny of an unjust law interposes,
and any unfortunate heather found upon
the streets with his basket is whiskea off
to the lookup. If this is not legalized
barbarism, unworthy even of savages,
what is it?

Make use Of me, my God!
Let me not be forgot;
A broken vessel cast aside
One whom thou needest not.
1 am thy creature, Lord,
And made by hands divine;
And I am part, however mean,
or this great work Of thine.
Thou usest all thy works
The weakest things that be;
Each has a service Of its own,
For all things wait on thee.
Thou usest the high stars,
The tiny drops Of dew,
The giant peak and little hill;
My God, oh. use me too!
Thou usest tree and flower,
The rivers vast and small;
The eagle great, the little plIo
That sings upon the wall.
Thou usest the wide sea,
The little hidden lake,
The pine upon the Alpine cliff,
The lily in the brake,
The huge rock in the vale,
The sand grain by the sea,
The thunder of the rolling cloud,
The murmur Of the lee.
All things do serve thee here
All creatures great and small;
Make use Of me, my God,
The weakest Of them all.
