Funeral of Mr.. Stoughton.

The remains of the late Hon. Henry
Z. Stoughton were brought to this place
on Saturday and taken to his residence,
where ON Sunday they were visited by
many of his old neighbors and friends.
On the casket was massive cross and
crown of beautiful and rare flowers
The funeral was attended on Sunday at
IL o'clock in the afternoon by prayer at
the house, and services at Emmanuel
church, conducted by Rev. Mr.. Ogden.
The attendance was quite large, and in
cluded the bar of Windham county who
came in special train from Brattleboro,
including other prominent citizens of the
county, some fifty in all. Among them
we're Hon. Charles X. Field, G. N.

Howe, Col. S. M. Waite, Maj. Austine,
/. N. Thorn, and Others from Brattle-
boro, Judge Stoddard of Townshend,

others present were Prof. Phelps of

Woodstock. OF Mr.. Stoughton's imme.
date family and relatives we believe
nearly all were present. including his
daughters, Col. Charles B. Stoughton,
and his brother, Hon. E. w. Stoughton
and other friends from Chester, Boston
and New York. The pail bearers were
Judge Barrett of Woodstock, Judge
Tyler of Brattleboro, and his neighbors
in this place, Col. Russell Hyde, Col.
Asa Wentworth, Josiah Bowtelle, j. d.
Bridgman, c. B. Eddy, o. d. Gray,
George Slate and A. N. Swain. AT the
conclusion of the impressive services at
the church, the remains were deposited
in the church yard by the side of his
wife who died Sept. 80, 1871, and Of his
son, Gen. E. III. Stoughton, VINO died
Dec. 25th 1868, spot thus made sacred
to him, and from his strong attachment
to his old home, fitting resting place
and thus ended the last sad rites to one
who has long been a prominent and
useful citizen of our State.

WALPoLE, N. H.-Thirty-nine new
books were added to the town library
last week.
The Unitarian society have unani-
mously extended an invitation to Rev.
Mr.. Brown, formerly of Sherburn, Mass,
to come and preach for them, and pend
ing his decision voted to give the use of
their church to the Orthodox society,
who now worship in the town hall while
their own church is being repaired and
enlarged.
Messrs. Bates & Aldrich have put up
a new smoke-stack seventy-fve feet high.
During its erection it fell twice, injur-
ing no one and damaging nothing save
itself. The object of higher chimney
is to lesson the danger from fire by fall
ing cinders.
The Walpole correspondent of the
Keene Sentinel, commenting ON the
drouth says: We do not learn that the
drouth has thus far been materially dam
aging to anything save tobacco plants
and shoe.blacking, and as these do not
rank among the elements that constitute
the animal kingdom it is presumed that
no serious calamity will ensue to the in
jury of the members of either the human
or brute creation.

Quick WoRK.-The trestle, 430 feet
long, on which the regular trains now
cross the Winooski, near Waterbury,
where the railroad bridge was recently
destroyed by fire, was built under the SUI
perintendence of Charles HI. Clark, master
bridge-builder of the Central Vermont
Railroad in tweDty-nine working hours.
When it is taken into consideration that
nearly all of the timber had to be hauled
from Canada, and that three-fourths of
it was growing st the time of the fire, it
is thought to be the quickest time on
record for that length of bridge.

the hope of beneftting his health by a

speedy restoration awaits him.

telry" was presented by the landlord
with an elegant carriage for the " tenn
porary occupancy of Miss Lane, the

A HEROIC FATHER. Montpelier
Freeman records the following incident
of the sad drowning accident at Calais:
Mr.. Clark Gray succeeded in saving
himself and his two children he had
hold of his little girl three years old
when they went into the water, but on
seeing his boy 60 under the boat, left his
girl and dove under for the boy got him
out and placed him on the boat, and
said I" hang on, or you'll drown !" and
dove for the little girl who was sinking
for the last time. Life had apparently
gone when she was found, but was re-
stored about half an hour later. Mrs.
Chase sank, but on rising to the surface
was fortunately within reach of pole
floating upon the water, and by the aid
of this she kept from sinking again I'M
til rescued. Mr.. Shubael Farr saved a
young Mrs. Tichout, by reaching her an
umbrella after she began to sink for the
last time.

The FIRE AT ROCKINGHAM, [Corres-
pondence. There are different opinions
in regard to the origin of the burning of
Mrs. Grants buildings in this place,
certain parties reporting that they were
burned to get the insurance, but that has
no foundation, there being no insurance
on them. Others think it was set by hen
roost robbers, but the general opinion is
that the fire was the work Of an incendi-
airy; circumstances being strong to COR
roborate this belief. 1t is we'll known
fact that there are persons mean enough
in this vicinity to commit most any
crime if they had the courage, and there
are others mean enough to be made tools
OF, and when under the influence of liquor
will do most any act that is required Of
them. K.

that the field for home missionary labor
is not exhausted in that locality.

under the water. The roll proved to be
