Connecticut western news., 1872-05-10

Distressing G11ef.-Wllle printing last weeks NEWS, and when about half of the edition was worked off and the press bang ing vigorously away at what was left, Sheriff Adams appeared at one of the win. dows of our office, and with countenance depicting the intensest grief; Crocodile tears as big as potatoes chasing each other rapidly down his harrassed cheeks, almost flooding his feet with their copious bespat. ters about them,) stopped the press, and re- lieved his quaking heart of portion of it's weight of grief, by preventing the balance of the papers being worked off, until the fatal mistake we had made could be correc- ted. He said that in making up one of the forms, Mrs. Richardson's advertisement had got "put in bottom side up." This indeed appeared very bad state of affairs, but an inquiry of the foreman into the matter, re- suited in disclosing the fact that Mrs. R. ordered it put in the paper in precisely that manner. Adams is one of our nearest friends, and anything derogatory to the in- terest of the NEWS, annoys him exceeding ly. The sheriff is feeling better.
 Rec. Lacius Hyde.- We clip from the Chicago Adoance of April 18th, the fol- lowing remarkable coincidence concerning the death of the Rev. Lavius Hyde, and that of his wife. The Rev. Mr. Hyde was once pastor of the Congregational church in this village.
 Seven years ago the first Sunday in April, Rev. Lavius Hyde, of Bolton, died, passing away so quietly that his wife, sleep- ing by his side, was not aware of 1t till 1 morning. On the anniversary of that day, this year, in Andover, at about tue same hour. hls widow followed him in the same manner, her daughter waking in the morn ing to find the mother dead by her side. Mrs. Hyde was the author of several beau tiful hymns found In Dr. Nettleton's old "Village Hymns," in the compilation of which she assisted. She was lady of great force and ability.
 This Mir. Hyde was half brother of the Rev. Dr. Hyde, who for so many years was pastor of the church in Lee, Mass He was ordained and installed pastor of the church in this village on the 18th of March, 1878. In the record of his work here, we find it recorded that he twas faithful pastor; his labors for the good of the peo- pie were unwearied ; the seed was care fully sown and the vineyard seduously cul- tivated." He died in Vernon in this state April 3d, 1865; aged 7s years. His wife was Miss Bradley of Stockbridge, Mass.
 Negaunee.- Pease: do not SUD- pose that anything can write will possess any interest for the majority of your read CTS, but as l am vain enough to believe that personally you are not wholly indiffer- ent to my welfare, take the liberty to ad- dress yon. Winter Fingered in the lap of Spring" till we had almost reached the con- clusion that he had fully resolved to make that agreeable resting place his perpetual abode. But he has at length departed, leaving her as smiling and beautiful as maiden after the departure of an unwel- come suitor It may be generally known that we are somewhat elevated, q mean geographically and therefore I will state that Negaunee is 900 feet above Marquette Bay, distant thirteen miles and 400 feet above the bay at Escanaba, distant 60 miles, and both bays being part of the same body.of water. Our iron mines are being worked with great vigor and the quantity of ore to be raised this year will far exceed that of any previous season. All kinds of business seems promising (none more so than the aohiskey trade,) and our people are confident of brilliant future for our real ly pleasant village, in spite of those adverse influences that are incident to a new town. ...".E. s. Green of the Iron Cliff Go. s store, "Phir" Khkwood, druggist, and other mer- chants, have "gone below" after new goods and will "have them here on the first boat" Green says he shall be here in a day or two with large stock. He is bound to get his share of the public patron age, if it takes the hair off," The streets are getting quite dry and dusty; building has commenced; the orc teams have con- menced running and business seems to be the only thing in order, except in the eve ming when the village seems to be given up to the "juveniles,' who turn out in swarms and turn the streets into a perfect pande- monium. Judging from their language and general style," I should say they were pretty old of their age, but wouldn't " "insinuate anything" Before I write you again shall try to '' scoop" few speckled trout, as they are quite abundant here, so if my statements thereafter sound little " fshy," there will not be wanting some oc casion for it.
