Obituary

MrssRs EDlroRs 1t is seldom that The death
of a young man, only two years past his majority,
and occupying no conspicuous public station,
calls for extended notice in newspapers. But the
general voice Of his acquaintance go confirms the
in which his parents and intimate
friends held DEAN SWIFT DwiNfii, os to justify
the addition to your notice Of last week OF few
words in reference to him.
The confidence placed in his integrity aud abil-
ity is indicated by the positions Of honor and
responsibility which he was in his youth called TO

But his friends have more pcasan, rocollectons
Of him than that he held, and faithfully perform
ed the duties Of, these positions Of dignity and
trust. They remember him rs one singularly
free from the vices which too commonly stain the
character Of young men as one in whom guile
lcssncss and manly hrmncss were most happily

house on the opposite corner of Wall and Pleas
ant streets, has been sold to j. F. Wardner. The
house lately owned by Mrs. Hopkins, on Pleasant
street, has been bought by j. r. Brooks, who has
entered into possession. q. ID. Williams has
purchased one of the " Company houses on
Central street, and rumor has it that all the Com

Another Revelation In Erie!

Last Monday proyeda" Black Friday for the
Gould ring in the Erie Railroad, resulting in its
complete oyerthrow-the election of new directors
removal of Gould from the Presidency, and
choice OF Gen. Dix in his place. The case was
most adroitly prepared by Gems. Sickles, Dix and
others, in the interest Of a thorough reform, and
took the ring entirely by surprise. The meeting
was called by the vice president Of the road, in
the temporary absence of Gould, on application
of majority Of the board of directors, to fill
existing vacancies in the board, and also such as
might arise, Gould fought valiantly with police
men, roughs, injunctions, &C., but all to no pur-
pose His doom was sealed, and he was fairly
driven from the field, leaving the new officers in
possession. The subordinate officers and en-
ployees have given in their adhesion to the new
regime. And so the work of reform goes nobly
on, and honest men may take heart again.

WATERBURY President Buckhams Lecture
on " Country Life in Vermont, 4" Tuesday even
ing, fully answered the great expectations Of
those who have before had occasion to admire the
classic elegance Of his discourses, and his fine, if
not laultess elocution, If there was anything
wanting to complete the satisfaction Of the audi
ence, it was little more discourse, which it was
more than intimated the contracting force Of an
intensely cold atmosphere abbreviated. Cold j.
said to contract all bodies, and in this in.
stance it naturally contracted and diminished the
number Of hearers, as well as the discourse But
those were fortunate whose vitality allowed them
to come out on such fearfully cold night. 1t is
to be regretted that such lecture could not be re-
ported. OF his pictures of Vermont homes, as he
had seen them, some, but not ALL were perfect mod
els and his just determinations eyinced true
appreciation of the quiet loyelness of intelligent
moral, rural life in the American Switzerland. His
sketches of Vermont character, both in its uncul-
tured and cultured aspects, showed that the lee
turer knows the boys whereof he speaks, and
highly appreciates their susceptibility of great re
inement, uncouth rs be may appear in his rough
hewn state.
Pes Buckham was very decided in his strio.
lures on the foolish attempts to engrat city fash
ions and manners on the more rational and happy
state of rural life,
