William L. Farna.n.

Deacon William L. Farnam died at his
residence in Poultney, March 10th, 1878,
of congestion of the lungs, in the S5th
year of his age. On the I'd day of
March, eight days before he died, he at
tended meeting at the Congregational
church in the East Village, III the fore
noon, and in the afternoon went to the
Baptist church, in the same village. The
people had assembled, but the preacher,
Rev. Mr.. Palmer, had not arrived, and
Dea. FaInam was called to address the
meeting, which he did in his usual sensi-
bic, candid and Christian like manner
1t is supposed that he took cold on that
day. He was soon taken down with
congestion OF the lungs and sunk rapid
ly until his death. He was elected dea-
con of the Congregational church May
10, 1885, which office he held until his
decease. He represented the town of
Poultney several years, held many town
offices, and for time was President of
the Rutland County Agricultural Socie-
ty. The church of which h was so
long member, always found in him a
conscientious, faithful and efficient
worker and safe adviser All moral and
benevolent enterprises is his time also
found in him an active supporter. Dur
ing his long life he was indeed very
useful man. He was without preten-
tiOns, modest, unassuming, yet always
alive, always active in seeking and pro
noting the best interests of his church,
his community and his town. For re-
ligious, moral and social influences in
the town OF Poultney during the last
half century, nc name stands more
prominent than that Of William Lee
Farnam. OBSERVER.

LONDON, March -.
Gladstone waited on Queen Victoria
at Buckingham Palace at noon, to-day,
to tender bis resignation. 1t is probable
that Disraeli will be summoned to form
new ministry.
The Advertiser and Standard are jubi-
liant over the rejection of the bill. The
Advertiser says that it cannot imagine
that even bIr. Gladstone will stoop to
endeayor to remain in office after such a
defeat. The Telegraph considers the
resignation of the ministry as an exceed
ingly probable event, while the Times
doubts that the Cabinet will take such a
course.

BOSTON, March II.
The United States Circuit Court in
Boston is again called upon to settle some
of the difficulties in the Boston, Hart
ford and Erie middle. Arguments were
commenced before Judge Shipley urging
that an injunction be granted to pre-
vent a foreclosure on the Burdcll mort
gage. The Erie railway company, in
whose behelf the injunction is asked,
claims that they lent money to pay in
terest on the Burdell bonds with the IN
derstanding that the receipts of the road
should be used for its equipment; that
said receipts were not so used; that,
therefore, they have claim on the road
for such monies so advanced, and that if
the mortgage is foreclosed the road will
go into the hands of a new corporation
which may not be willing to pay the
debt of its predecessors. Both sides are
represented by competent lawyers, and
the hearing promises to occupy several

HAVANA, March IL.
Rumors are current of the early de-
parture of General Ceballos, and that he
will be succeeded by general who will
act in concert with the opinions enter
tanned by the present government of
Spain. The leading shareholders have
recently been in session almost nightly
considering the situation, but are not yet
able to determine on any plan of action
or to arrive at any solution of the CUES
ton whenever the decree becomes
known. The position assumed or the
action taken taken by the conservative
pro-slavery leaders will, however, be en-
tirely immaterial, as the negroes are
well informed and will certainly refuse
to work as slavea 1t is rumored that
the abolition of slavery has been already
decreed The middle and poorer classes
deprecate the carelessness of slave-own-
ers in making no provision for the abol-
ition of slavery, and the belief is gain
ing ground that, in the event of the
abolition of slavery being decreed, the
wealthy slave owners will become inimi-
cal to the prosperity of the island.

afternoon a resolution to provide for an
amendment to the constitution that
women may have the right to vote and
hold office the same as men, was refus-
ed a third reading by vote of SO to 142.
The subject had been debated for the
past week every day, and at each ses-
sion. The hall was crowded with
women, leading advocates of the meas
ure, occupying prominent seats. The
resolution required a two-thirds vote in
its favor, both in the present House Of
Representatives and the one of next
year, and a majority of the Senate; this
and next year as also, besides an affir-
native vote of the people before the
change in the constitution contemplated

The scene in the House of Commons
last night, when the defeat of the minis
try on the Irish University bill was an
nOunced is indescribable The excite
ment in the gallery and on the floor was
intense, while the opponents of the
measure INDUCED in tumultuous cheers
over its rejection. Among the distin-
guished personages in the strangers gal
lery. which was crowded during the de
bate, were the Prince of Wales, Princess
Louise, and Princess Christina. The
Scotch and Welch members supported
the bill. The Catholics were unanimous
in their opposition to it, After the an
nouncement Of this result Mr. Gladstone
arose and said: The vote just given is
certainly of a grave character. As the
House never wishes to continue its de
liherations when the existence of the
government is in doubt, l move an adj
journment until Thursday" the motion
was carried. In consequence of the late
hour at which the result was reached
comments of London morning journals
are mcagre and restrained.

The rouisville Bank Robbery.
LOUISVILLE. XIV, March

LOUISVILLE, Ky, March II.
Other special deposits of the Falls
City Tobacco Bank, which was robbed
Sunday night, were yesterday found to
be missing; among them ten bonds of
the Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington
short line railroad numbered from 1873
to 202, inclusive, of 81, 900 each also
bonds numbered from 1875 to $40, in
elusive, and two bonds numbered 149
and $50 of the Jeffersonville, Madison
aud indianapolis railroad, first mortgage,
of 81 900 each; also numbers from l.
527 to /, 533 of the Jacksonville, Mad
ison and Indianapolis, second mortgage
bonds, of 81, 900 each. All the missing
bonds amount probably to the value Of
over 100000. 1t seems the burglars
selected all the securities early disposed
of in the east, leaving the local securi-
ties scattered over the floor of the vault.
The work was evidently done by pro-
fessiOnal burglars, most sklllful and sci
entific in the business. Further eXami-
nation of the vault yesterday reveals the
fact that previous efforts had been made
to rob the bank in the same way. An
iron wedge was found driven into the
corner of the inner cash safe, also a
small hole cut through the top. The
wedge was rusty and the hole filled up
with putty. 1t is supposed the attempt
was made some months since and relln-
pushed for lack of tools; but the same
parties, it seems, returned well prepared
and accomplished the work.
