The funeral ObseQuies of Mrs. John
B. Page okplace on Monday afternoon
at half-past two o'clock. A large num-
Der Of our citizens gathered at the resi-
denco Of Gov. Page to pay their last sad
testimonial Of respect to one whom they
had regarded with veneration and love
for the many high and marked traits of
character which had commended her to
all classes in our community.
The services of the occasion were
opened with a prayer of peculiar fitness
and frrvcncy, offered by Rev. Aldace
Walker, d. d., Of Wallingford, after
which a hymn was rendered by quar-
tettc. The address of Rev. James Glib
son Johnson, pastor of the Congrega-
tional church, was touching and APP
propriatc with fitting illusions to the
religious and daily life of the deceased,
paying n tribute to her as wife, moth
cr, friend and member of society, and
the estimate i'm which she was held in
all the relations of life. After prayer
by Mr. Johnson and the rendering of
another hymn, the casket, which was
covered with beautiful floral offerings
the tcstimonalsO of love and affection
was borne from the house. Col. George
y Merrill, Joel b. Harris, Frederick
Chaffcc. DR.. f. V. n. Harwood, Evelyn
Picrpoint, j. b. Kilburn, O. L. Robbins
and l.. f. Roy~ acting rs pall-bearers.
4 long procession then wendell its
way to our beautiful Evergreen Gem
ctery, where the burial took place in the
family lot The funeral was conducted
in a quiet and unobtrusiye manner under
the direction of Joel NJ. Haven, Esq.
The occasion was one of sincere
mourning beyond the immediate family
circle-it extended to our citizens gen
orally, who have known and respected
the virtues and beautiful traits that
gracrl the life and character Of our de
ceased toWnswoman. Many lament a
friend in the hour of distress, a faithful
commitment in the church, valued
counsellor in benevolent enterprise, a
member of the social circle; in all these
relations will her genial and kindly pres
ence be mourned. Adjoining every sta
ton in life in which she moved, her
death leaves 4 void not easily filled.

UPPER FALLs.-A correspondent of
the Windsor Journal tells the following
story about a recent unfortunate affair
in this place, viz The usual quiet of
the neighborhood at Upper Falls was
disturbed on Sunday evening, and very
lively time ensued, in which romance
bore quite conspicuous part. In the
early part of the evening an employe in
Downers hotel went to Perkinsville. and
did not return until quite a late hour,
and not wishing to arouse the inmates
of the house, he effected an entrance
through a window in the parlOr, but no
he was kicked violently in the stomach
and knocked outside, senseless. After
recovering somewhat he was met by a
fearful vOlley of Oaths from person in
side, who then told him that he knew
he was intruding, that he came in there
because he knew he was sitting up with
a young lady. He replied that he knew
nothing of the fact, as there was no
light in the room, and he supposed no
one was there. This, however, did not
appease the gay Lothario, and a very
brisk hand-to-hand conflict ensued, in
which the tears of the fair one pleaded
eloquently, but it was of no avail. The
inmates of the house were aroused and
the combatants were finally separated.
The affair is disgraceful, especially for
the assailant, who had he taken the prop
er precaution of having light-in this
enlightened age-tO do his counting by, it
would probably have been saved from
interruption.

HORSES KULED.-On Saturday even
ing as the o'clock accommodation train
on the Rutland railroad, approached
the crossing near the Lincoln
school house, about a mile and a
half south of this village, the engineer
discovered three horses upon the track.
He gave the usual danger signals, but
was unable to stop the train before the
engine struck them, killing two outright
and so manning the other as to require
it to be killed. The legs of the horses
were nearly all cut off and the bodies
We're otherwise mangled. The horses
were buried early in the morning in a
trench by the railroad employees, and it
became necessary for their owners to
disinter them recognize their property.
Two of the horses belonged to Ruel
Todd, an old horse and a three year old
colt. The other was a colt three years
old, owned by Miner billiard, ESQ. The
three horses are valued at about $500.
They had been at pasture on Bald Noun
tain, and had strayed into lot belonging
to Henry Hayward, where the fence
was down, and from thence they went
on to the railroad track.

1t Fhas been reported that Greeley
stock was on the wane. but we saw a
pleasant little incident a day or two since
which induces us to doubt the assertion.
Parker Pollard, bright little democrat,
three years old, and son of d. c. Pol
lard, Esq, in some way became pos
sessed of two cents, and hearing some
gentlemen at his fathers store discussing
the political candidates, tOttered up to
them, produced his purse and bet his
entire fortune that Greeley would be
President We understand that the
wager was taken and the youthful poll
tician fully feels the responsibility of
his position, never fiinching at the risk
he runs, showing more courage than the
editor of the New York World.
