CHESTER.
The Chester effusi0nist of the Wood
stock Post,
/ \ bashfuI youth with talents rare,
! With gOoseberry eyes and carrOtty hair,
| in a recent communication to that paper
sttacs that the number of persons pres
ent at the raising of the Grant and VIII
son tiag in this town was Just six. As
we were present at the time and count
/ ed over one hundred individuals. we
/ have come to the conclusion that the
/ said correspondents knowledge Of math-
ematics is slightly limited. and that he
would have made the number present
! larger, only for the reason that he has
NOT vet learned the numericaIs. so that
/ he cannot count above six. We think
| this person is a fit subject for the prima-
| ry department of the district school, and
we suggest that the GRANTEES bear the
/ expense Of his tuition the coming fall
/ term. so that i'm the future he NAV be
/ enabled to be 2 little more correct in
/ his mathematical calculations This
same brilliant correspondent states that
''Grantism is an unpalatable pill. " and
that Rounds will have to swallow at
least ten of them 10 divest himself Of
| that pent mp speech. Truth is always
| unpalatable to rOgucs. and for that rcd-
son the Greeleyites find ii a nauseOus
potion But pills wont save the Greeley
party from being bound up so tight on
the 5th of November. that even trip to
the source of salt river" wont have
the effect of preventing pufrifcatien.
As a patent remedy for the morbid con-
ditiOn of the Posts correspondent, we
suggest large doses of the multiplication
table. with Webster's dictionary added
as a stimulant.
On Tuesday evening a large and
enthusiastic audience assembled ut Full
lertOn's Hall, to listen to Hon. B. II.
Steele. on the political issues of the day.
The remarks of Judge Steele were clO-
quent. able and convincing, and we re-
gret that we are unable to give an ab-
stract of his speech.
Hon. Nathaniel Fullerton is serious
ly i'll. at his residence on Main street.

Yesterday our Court House was
crowded to witness the preliminary cX-
animation of one Kent who was arrested
q short time since, on charge Of assault
on one Kilburn with intent to kill.
While arguments were being made the
assaulted individual-Kil -KilbuTn-couldnot
be found. Although it was discovered
that Officer Thaycr had a process in his
hands for the apprehension and arrest
Of Kilburn on a serious charge. but
the latter thinking discretion the better
part of valor, had taken to the woods II
IS not likely he will be seen in these
parts soon. The court bound Kent UP.
and the latter obtained bail The "Dr."
is now at liberty to visit his patients.

The funeral of Lieut.. P. 4. Baker
was attended, Wednesday afternoon, by
a large number of people from this and
the adjoining towns. Mr.. Baker had
resided here a number of years, and was
Just becoming one Of the leading bust
ness men of this place He was at one
time engaged in the grocery and millin-
ary business, doing a fine business in
both, but sickness compelled him to
abandon his business in part. BY his
death Fairhaven lOoses a benevolent
Christian business man, and his friends
and acquaintances an honorable, up
right and true friend. Thus are they
passing away.
