DEATH OF CHARLES III. WooDs.-It
is seldom that death occurs in our midst
attended with such protracted suffering
or one which has commanded such uni
versal sympathy from the community as
that of Charles III. Woods, who died on
the morning of Saturday last. 1t is a
little more than nine years since the ter.
rible accident occurred, by which he lost
both limbs, and during that time he has
been constant sufferer in consequence
though at times apparently comfortable
The terrible shock to his constitution
and loss of blood at that time, together
with second amputation brought him
so near death, that his recovery to par.
tial health seemed almost miraculous.
For several years even when otherwise
quite comfortable, he has suffered from
excessive bleeding from the head, which
loss has undermined a naturally good
constitution. The last weeks of bis i'll
ness we're those of intense suffering to
which death only could bring release.
BY his affectionate disposition " Charlie -
won friends without number, and his
early misfortune gained him the sympa-
thy of friends and strangers alike. All
that the love and devotion of the kind
est parents and friends could do, have
been done and on Tuesday kind friends
placed beautiful flowers above and
around him and bore his remains to his
last home in the church-yard. His fu-
neral at Emmanuel Church was attended
by large number of friends who keenly
sympathize with the family in their be-
reavement.

THE Horse EPIzooTIo IN THIS PLACE.
The horse disease which originated
in Canada and now 30 prevalent in all
New England and other States, has at
last reached us, and the first traces OF
il were seen ON Thursday in Towns q
Phelps livery stab e. On visit to the
equine hospital on Tuesday, where it first
appeared, and where il was hoped it had
reached its height, we found fifteen
restless coughing horses, in all stages of
the disease. There were fumes Of sui
phur, carbolic acid and other disinfect-
ants, which were freely used to purify
the air and help the horses in their labor
ed breathing. A short visit on Mr.. III.
S. Frost showed that Phelps d Towns
were not alone in their misfortune, but
that the distribution of the disease was
very tair and impartial, for some of his
horses had given evidence of the infec-
ton. Seven of Mr.. Wolfe's truck horses
have been taken for which he substitutes
oxen in their places.
