The reception at Mr.. Bradshaw's.

The death of Deacon Joshua Whit
lock is great loss to the community, as
well as to the Baptist church, of which
he was constituent member from the
time of its organization in 1850. De-
servedly he stood high in public estima-
ton, and he has left an example worthy
of imitation, both as respects the dis
charge of his duty to society and to the
church of God. ''The memory of the
just is blessed"
WALLINGFORD.
We have just heard very pleasant
little ''fox story" from the lips of E.
Cobb, the gentlemanly salesman at A.
Hill Sc Sons store. 1t turns out. by the
way, that he can do some things as well
as others. Tuesday morning he was
coming from his home in Tinmouth, and
was descending the hill this side of II.
Hopkins, with a horse and sleigh, when
he discovered a fox running along on the
other side of the wall with which the
road is fenced; but, owing to the damp
snow which had fallen, about six inches
deep, he made very slow time. Cobb at
once jumped out and gave chase, and
then followed an exciting race, but he
at last succeeded in grasping the extreme
end of Reynard's long tail, with vice
like grip, as he lodged through the wall.
This brought matters at once TO a crisis.
The fox resented the indignity, and he
turned on his pursuer and showed fight,
by fixing his teeth on his hand; but, as
he wore stout buck-skin gloves, he was
secure from any flank movement of this
kind. Poor fox was at once put hOrS du
combat by a blow with a stone and
brought along as a trophy. Capturing a
fox by pure muscle is a feat not often
performed by "our boys" that live in
these degenerate days
We have had another snow storm
Six or eight inches fell. Winter evil
IDENTIFY shows no disposition of relinquish-
ing his hold yet.
