An Embarrassing Situation.

Max Adcler says: That little
affair of Needham's that some of
the papers have been telling about
was certainly unpleasant-at least
to Needham. Needham owned a
deep'mouthed watchdog, who al.
ways bayed him welcome home.
and snatched mouthfuls of chops
out of the legs of strangers. Need
ham took that faithful animal
along with him one day to guard
his clothes while he went swim
ming. Needham bathed for an
hour, and meanwhile the dog went
to sleep on Needham's garments.
When Needham came out the dog
did not recognize him in his nude
condition, and refused. to let him
come near his garments. Every
time that Needham would grab
for suspender or sock, the dog
would bite a mouthful ont of his
arm or leg, and whenever Need
ham would make a dive for a boot
or undershirt that animal would
seize him by the calf and shake
him. So Needham stood there in
the sun pretty nearly roasted, and
he spent the afternoon lodging in
and out of the water to avoid the
Dorcas societies and female stu
dents at the boarding school and
factory girls coming down the
road. At last, when the dog went
to sleep, Needham crept up be.
hind him, caught him suddenly by
the tail, and flung him across the
stream. Before the dog could
swim back, Needham got most of
his clothes upon his bleeding body
and limbs, and the dog came slid
ing mp to him, looking as if he ex-
pected to be rewarded tor his ex-
traordinary vigilance. And yet
they say that the dog is mans best
friend.

GEORGE On the 9th of November,
1872, at his fathers residence. Hartford
Co., WILLIAM ,SHADRACH GEORGE
aged 2G years.
Thus called away in early manhood, the amia-
Bile qualities he possessed (being naturally of re-
firing manners,) were perhaps not sufficiently
demonstrated to be generally appreciated by
those that did not know him well; but he was
concurrently accorded the unfcigned respect of
his more intimate friends, for the purity of his
motives and strict integrity of purpose. I'm
compromising in his convictions of right; faith
full to his promises; strictly honest in all his
dealings, and energetic in whatever he undertook
to do, he won the esteem and confidence of all
with whom he had business transactions.
He united himself with the NJ. E. Church at an
early age, and his department as n church MEN,
Der and Christian Gas in business) was consist
ent and exemplary. He shrank from no Chris
tian duty, but was ever watchful in his devotions
and active in promoting the interests of his
church, mot slothful in business, fervent in
spirit serving the Lord"
Those Christian graces which so adorned his
character while in health, shone with undimin-
ished lustrc, aud encouraged and sustained him
in his declining hours, and with sweet peace of
conscience enabled him in joyful hope to look
beyond the things of time, and with quiet resg-
nation calmly face the "King of Terrors," with.
ont fear, conscious that in passing through the
dark valley" he was not alone; but the sweet,
consoling words he spoke to those around gave
to sorrowing friends the comforting assurance
that he is now enjoying that blssful ''rcst which
remains for the people of God"
With fevcrs burned and racked with pain,
At trials | will not complain,
Nor question Gods bchcst.
For Oh! my precious Saviour knows
My longing for q sweet repose,
And He will give me rest.

Death of Horace Greeley.

Since our last issue, Horace Greeley, late
candidate for the Presidency, died at the res
idence of friend, near the city of New York.
Various rumors had been circulated, since
the election, in reference to his failing health
body and mind, and public anxiety WAS
raised to high pitch, when the news of his
death was flashed over the telegraph wires.
The cause of this event seems to have been q
general breaking down of health, from do
mes tic affliction and the unremitting toll and
excitement of an unsuccessful campaign. His
funeral took place at New York city, on Wed.
nesday, and was attended by the public Off
Gals of the country generally, including Pres
ident Grant and Others in high position at
Washington.
The history of Mr.. Greeley life, it is truly
said, is intimately interviewer with that of
the great political parties which have diyid-
ed this country for nearly halfcentury past,
and his character will possibly be estimated
from the different standpoints, with reference
to this, that each may occupy. His most en-
during monument, it is everywhere conced-
ed, will be the journal he conducted as chief
editor for so many years, and which has ex-
ercised so great an influence on the destinies
of his party and the country at large. The
browning act of Mr.. G reeley's life, his con-
senting to become q candidate for the Presi.
dency, as the exponent of Liberal Republi-
canism and Democracy, has entailed upon his
In ht,r nf iofc
would otherwise have escaped. That he was
either the saint or the sinner he was repre-
sented to be during the campaign by his
friends and his foes respectively, it may east
ly be doubted. That his position was ques-
tionable one, or rather that it was grave
mistake on the part of the Democratic party
to have afforded him the opportunity of &C.
cupying the position he did, events have pro-
ven. Had he survived, his future course in
politics would have been curious study, to
observe how far he would have been able to
reconcile the elements that claimed to have
united in his support, if indeed he would have
directed his efforts in that way at all. His
last public utterances on the subject were, that
he did not feel himself fully in accord with
any of the political parties that now divide
this country.
The electoral vote of Maryland was cast
at Annapolis, on Wednesday, for Hon. Thom-
as A. Hendricks, of Indiana, for President
owing to the death of Mr.. Greeley-which is
the first time the electors for the Presidency
have had to exercise their own discretion in
matters of this kind.

MEETING OF CoNaREss.-Thc third ses
sion of the forty second Congress commenced
at Washington on Monday. A resolution OF
respect to the memory of Horace Greeley was
passed by both Houses.
In the Senate Mr.. Sumner made an effort
to press immediate action upon his favorite
civil-rights bill, but fortunately under point
of order it could not be taken up. Mr.. Sum-
ner also introduced bill to strike from the
army register and regimental colors all allu-
sions to the battles of the late war.
The session opened in an unusually spiri-
ted manner, and disposition was cvinced
among the members to attend to business.

CONTRIBUTION LEvIED.-It will be seen,
by notice elsewhere in this paper, that the Di-
rectors of the Mutual Fire Insurance Compa-
ny in Hartford county, have ordered contri-
button of six per cent. to be levied upon the
premium notes of the insured. This course
has been rendered necessary, on account OF
the heavy losses incurred by the company
the past year, amounting, in all, to about
$4,000. The amount of losses unpaid is
about $13, 900. The contribution levied will
produce about $4,000, which, with 81 900
now in the Treasury will enable the Compa-
ny to reserve the entire amount of interest
in 1878 to future losses
