Joseph Adams, of Cavendish, Wednes-
day April 9th, and being deeply i'm
pressed with the appropriateness with
which it was conducted, and the univer-
sal christian spirit and sympathy that
pervaded all present, without regard to
UNCONVENTIONAL names, / feel like max
ing brief mention of the fact in your
columns. The services were conducted
by Rev. Geo. s. Guersney, Universalist,
assisted by Rev. S. F. Brown, Baptist
The UniVersalist church was filled with
the relatives, neighbors and friends of
the family, to pay the last tribute of re-
spect to to one who had spent a long
life among them. The whole town
seemed to be as one family of mourners
How beautiful it is to see such a true
christian sympathy erasing every line of
UNCONVENTIONAL difference, When that
shall be universal, then indeed shall the
millennium come on the earth. NV,
LUDLOW.
Rev Philander Bates, pastor of the Con-
gregational society in Ludlow, died very
suddenly of apoplexy, Wednesday even
ing, April 9th, 1878, about fifteen min
utes past seven. He was born in Massa-
chusetts sixty-two or sixty-three years
ago, graduated at Amherst College and
Andover Theological Institute, spent
some time subsequently in teaching, and
has preached the Gospel of Christ In
Michigan, New York, Massachusetts,
New Hampshire and Vermont. He was
settled here two years ago last spring,
and has endeared himself to his people,
having assiduously labored for their
prosperity. He felt a great interest in
the success of the Young Mems Christian
Association, and in the monthly union
meetings held here the past winter, and
labored earnestly to promote revival of
religion. A good man has fallen in
Israel. Peace be to his slumhering dust
until the morning of the resurrection.
LUX.
NuDDLRBURY.
We were treated on last Sunday
morning to a severe thunder storm, with
sharp lightning and hail stones of large
size. No damage done.
Rev. A. L. Bailey being absent, the
pulpit of the NJ. E. Church was filled,
last Sabbath, by Mr.. Ingersoll, a mem
Der of the senior class in Middlebury
College, who preached most excellent
sermon upon the value of heavenly wis
dom. This young man, | learn, is to
enter the ministry, and | venture to pre-
dict he will make an able defender of
the New Testament, and rank deserved
ly high among those who, as gospel min
listers, are proclaiming Christ to fallen
world.
--Messrs Swiney & Burrows have
been compelled to suspend their bust
ness, making doors, &c, in our village,
at least for the present. A large num-
| Der of men are thus thrown out of en-
ployment, who will perhaps have to seek
| employment elsewhere. There is but
one expression in our village, and that
| of deep regret, in regard to the unfortu-
| nate turn of affairs of Messrs. S. & B.
They are very high minded, honorable
men, and were attentive to their bust
| ness, but the ''ups and downs" of mar
ket no one can fully foresee. sincerely
hope some arrangement may be made,
whereby they may soon again go on in
| their business.
The old "Wainwright store" sold
| by Mr.. J. Davenport to Mr.. j. ID. But
tolph, is being remodelled, and will
| present new and fine appearance. The
second story is to be put into rooms for
offices, &c.
The store of Mr. VIM. Slade is rapid
| ly approaching completion. 1t is the
| intention Of Mr. Slade to fill it with
goods, this spring, suitable for the mar
! ket.
-Messrs. Langworth & Bond, mer-
chants, have dissolved their copartner-
ship. Mr.. f. A. Bond continues the
business at his own stand. Mr.. B. is a
| young man of excellent business capac-
ity, and with troops of friends will UNI
ouestionably succeed in securing his
share of public patronage.
PORT HENRY.
The Port Henry Herald is expected
out this week. Mr.. E. L. Smith is no
longer associated with it he has with
drawn to answer another calling.
Work is progressing nicely on the
new blast furnace at Cedar Point.
Our fellow townsman, Mr.. j. G.
Wetherbee, is expected home this week.

CHESTER.
Riley Deming, son of Horace Dem
1 ing, of this town, has recently sold to
/ his partner his interest in the hat, cap
and fur store at Northampton, Mass,
and leased one of the leading hotels in
the city of Sharon, Pa. We predict
+. that he will keep better hotel than the
sourkrout Dutchmen of the Key
stone State ever thought possible.

GRANVILLE, n. Y.
The Union Fair Association, of
Granville, n. Y, and vicinity, have Sc
cured a site for its fair grounds on the
| premises of Samuel Morrison, one-half
mile south of this village. The adioin-
| ing towns of Pawlet, Rupert, Dandy,
| Middletown, Tinmouth, Wells and
Poultney, in Vermont, are interested in
this movement. The brilliant success of
this association at their fair in Middle
| Granville last fall, encourages it that it
can successfully compete with either the
Washington or Rutland County Agricul-
| tural Society.
POULTNEY.
"A gas explosion occurred at Joslin's
gas house on Thursday night last, about
9 o'clock. The gas house is a brick
structure of about twelve feet in hight,
| and some ten feet by six on the ground.
with cellar or pit under it of about ten
| feet in depth. On the occasion of the
explosion, Samuel Jones, who had charge
of the works, was down in the bottom
of the pit. He had ascertained that the
gas was escaping, and went down with
a lantern in Lis hand to shut it off, and
while in the act of doing it, the explo-
sion took place. The explosion was of
such force as to make large opening
in heavy brick wall over his head, and
to remove a marble slab over the door,
weighing about $50 pounds, from its
place. But Jones came from the pit
with apparently no other injury than
the burning of one of his hands, and the
next day was about his work as usual.
Why was not the man killed ? Answer
it who can.
e. G. Dyer, the new proprietor of
the Poultney House, proposes to have a
grand opening ball on the first of May.
