DEATH OF l.. j. MolNDoE.-By slip
from the office of the Windsor Journal,
by Rev. Franklin Butler, editor in
charge, We have the sad news of the
death of Lyman j. McIndoe, the pub
Usher and proprietor of that paper,
which took place at his residence in
Windsor, Wednesday, at ten minutes
past one, A. NJ. His funeral will be at
tended at the Congregational Church in
that place, on Friday afternoon of this
week, at 2 o'clock. Mr.. McIndoe We
think first commenced business at New
bury in Orange County, some twenty-five
or thirty years ago. 1t may have been
at Bradford, but he published the Auro-
ra of the Valley for some years at New
bury, and about 1858 or 8 bought the
Windsor journal. He has long been
known as one of the most hard working,
industrious and enterprising publishers
in the State, taking stand for the right
on the moral questions of the day. His
disease was consumption, with which he
had battled for several years, but he had
failed SO rapidly the last few weeks that
his death could not have been unexpect-
ed, beyond that death always seems un-
expected, whatever form it may assume
at last.

FIRE.-The Brattleboro Phoenix says
that the barns and carriage house of
Dea. r. G. Streeter of Nottingham, were
burnt Sunday, Dec. 18th. together with
about thirty tons of hay, one cow, pig
and calf, besides most of his farming
tools and carriages. The family we're
absent at church, with the exception of
girl about IA years of age and boy
about Z. Mr.. Streeter himself was in
Worcester. About noon the boy went
to the barn to feed the stock and on the
way he picked up piece of match and
when he got into the barn he struck it
on board, when it dropped out of his
fingers and fell in among the hay and
before he discovered that it was on fire
it had made such progress that it was
impossible for him to put it out. He
then ran and notified the girl, who show
ed good presence of mind by running to
the barn and turning the cattle out,
and driving them into the lane, and
then proceeding to give the alarm. But
before assistance could reach them it
was too late to save anything. The loss
was about $1,000. Insured in the Far
mers Mutual for about $500. The COW
belonged to Sylvester Bickford, Streeter's
son-in-law who was living there at the
| time

YOUNG PEOPLES ENTERTAINMENT
The entertainment given by the young
people of Emmanuel Church at Union
Hall on Tuesday evening, was not only
fine success of its own merits, but they
had rousing full house to enjoy it. The
vocal music by Miss Walker and Mr.
Barber was especially fine, particularly
Miss Walker during the pantomime Of
The Mistletoe Bough." Fred Amadon
on the violin and his sister Alice on the
piano were received with special favor.
A Duet was also given by Misses Babbitt
and Farr, which was well received. John
Williams in his flute accompaniment
succeeded very nicely, and Mr.. Peabody
presided at the piano at various times
in his usual skillful manner, the La
Rhine DIES Fees being especially fine.
The first part of the programme was
Jean Ingelow's "Songs Of Seven which
was exceedingly well sustained through
out. Childhood was represented by little
Minnie Derby, who was received with
rounds of applause. She fairly charmed
the audience by her distinct enunciation
and expression, every word being heard
readily, as well as by her childlike ways.

down the house. The tableau of Lalla
Rookh, was truly beautiful. Old Moth.
err Hubbard and her dog, in six acts, was
very faithful to that ancient rhyme, the
dog evidently being fully equal to that
wonderful one of antiquity. The pan.
tomime of the Mistletoe Bough was the
GROWING act of the evening. The min
uet of the "goodly company was exc
cuted admirably. The costumes were ell.
CANT in the extreme and the pageant al
most dazzling in brilliancy. The sad
romance of Lord Lovell's beautiful
bride was effectively portrayed by the
music, which added much to the bring.
ing out of the piece.
The entertainment concluded with the
exhibition of the elephant" Old Beeswax'
in his new and wonderful feats, pro.
ducing much merriment. The Bellows
Falls elephant surpasses all others, the
Snowman included. The entertainmen MT
as whole was we'll received and unani-
mously pronounced by those who enjoy
