RETURN OF A LOST VOLUME. 1t will
be remembered that about the LIST of
February last, there was copied in the
Gazette from the New York Observer.
communication from Henry $.
Hutchinson of Woodstock, Vermont.
stating that he had in his possession a
Bible, one volume, bearing sundry
records evidently made by our late
greatly respected townsman, Daniel
Cawood, such as his marriage, and
several other important events in the
history of our city. Mrs. Cawood, yet
living, saw the article, and at once
recognized a lost volume of the Bible
presented to her by her husband on
the occasion Of their marriage A
friend Of hers Immediately wrote to
Mr. Hutchinson, and very promptly,
Adams Express brought the treasure.
The explanation is that during the
war. like so many other citizens of our
border locality, Mr.. Cawood withdrew
to the interior, leaving his effects in
the city, and by some means the mis-
appropriating habits of the period got
this book to Vermont and into pri-
vate library Of Woodstock, where Mr..
Hutchinson found it by accident, and
got leave OF the gentleman into whose
hands it had fallen to undertake to find
the owner. Mr.. Hutchinson's CORE
spondence shows large hearted pleas
ure in the incident, which in the esti-
nation Of those who know the details,
reflects great credit on his character.

having little or no money value, might

way of such gentlemen as Mr.. Hutch

MURRAY ON .DEAcoNs. Under
our West Randolph head our cores
pendent is quite sharp on the Rev.
Mr.. Murray's Lecture upon 'Deacons. "
Mr.. Murray evidently differs from
God as to the wisdom and efficiency
of sold fogies." Moses wanted to
lead out the children of Israel from
Egyptian bondage, when he was a few
years over forty, but Gods time had
rot yet come, and Moses had to flee
for his life and live in DESERT at the
back of Horeb, more than forty years
longer, keeping sheep, before he was
prepared to do the very thing that
God had raised him up to do. God
seems to have use for sold fogies,
sometimes in way that seems strange
to Mr. Murray. There were thousands
of young America" then in Egypt
