WooDBURT has been forming a Union society from the three different parishes into which it is now divided, numbering forty members already.--There were over one hundred carriages in the procession at tie funeral Of Miss Katie Warmer. Twenty Of her school mates marched to- gether, each bearing a boquet. Mir. Jay cocks made an urgent appeal, Sunday be- fore last, for the Memphis sufferers.- Mir.

 WATERrowN Episcopalians have passed resolutions regreting the resignation of Dr. Lewis from which we extract the fol- lowing:
 Eesolced, That We deeply regret the painful necessity which sewers the tie so long and so happily existing between us.
 ResOlced, That we cannot let this occasion pass without attesting our appreciation of his eminent services to this parish, of his uncom- mon acceptance i'll the pulpit. his strong practi- cal good sense in all matters pertaining to its prosperity, his blameless life and conversation among us. and his earnest zeal in all that con- cerned the temporal and spiritual good of those over whom God had given him the oversight
 Resotred, That our best wishes go with him in the future, and that our prayer is that his decln- Ing years may be happy and peaceful, and that in the great day he may be permitted to meet many redeemed ones as fruits of his ministry on earth and as jewels in his crown of rejoicing. Also to hls family who are ever ready to aid and sympa- thlze ln every good work we tender our kindest feelings and regards.
 ReSOlred, That our warm thanks are due to our assistant rector Rev. Wm. l.. Peck, whose term Of service expires with that of our rector TOT hls earnest and persevering work in the church and Tn different parts of the parish, feel Ing that his labOrs among us have been highly valuable and conductive to much spiritual good.
 WoLcorrvILLE business is tolerably live ly notwithstanding the panic. All the shops except Turner. Seymour Judd's gre running on full time. The Brass Go. have an order for cartridge metal from Russia that will keep them busy for some months. They ship half 8 ton of rolled brass per day to Massachusetts firm to be cut into eyelets.
 A KENT sprig had scrimmage with 8 colored girl seated just in front of him at the Congregational church recently. He insisted on keeping his feet up on the back of her seat She whacked them with her hymn book to no purpose, but the judicious insertion of a shawl pin into the calf of his leg finally brought them down-and the house, too, we had al- most said, but the proprieties of the place forbade anything more demonstratiAe than general smile.
 WEST CORNWALL shipped 1850 cans of milk in October'-George c. Harrison's new house will be ready to occupy in 8 week or two.-Merwin, the feather bed man, was in town, last week.-Ransom Smith is going to teach school in the West Cornwall Dist, and Mark Kicker son in the Pufingham Dist, this winter.

 THoMAsToN experiences the same panic ky times that prevail elsewhere. Banks having shut down, manufactures must. or contrive some other way to pay their help, though all our shops here are now running eight hours a day. Crops have been good all about us and prices fair: butter 35 cents, potatoes 75 cents, hay $50, apples $5 barrel, and horse-radish $15O per ton, of which latter article Geo. Bris- tol has eight tons (estimated), raised on II acres, and a few thousand cabbages grown near by; and, by the way, that % rods of road through G. Bristols, costing the town $1150, is not done yet. and hard ly will be before the next month rolls in Public improvements have advanced somewhat during the last two weeks of rest to the shops, such as improving the cemetery grounds the sellctmen are blasting rocks from the highway and buil- ding stone bridges.-Two or three new houses in the Village are being completed. Judson Brothers have sold two or three lots on their new road, preparatory to building next spring. Mir. A. Thomas has sold two lots on Mountain Avenue, one of which has already a new house on 1t, enclosed and nearly ready to plaster. Builder Becky has taken the contract of finishing the Catholic church and has already the mortar on, and will soon be ready for seating and all inside finish. When done 1t will be the best church in our village-till we build new one.- American.
 The Mullen House is closed for few days by the death of MT. Thayer, until arrangements can be made with some one to run 1t, another license granted, no Ii cense being transferable In the meantime the outside liquor shops are having fine run, without licenses. Would it not have been as well to have granted more lcen- ses, and thus filled up the town treasury? Our town has recently voted to grant no license. How now with the Mullen House? Spite of the times, the Clock Company are still enlarging their works, and all their shops running eight hours.- Edson Thomas has improved his man. ufactory of brick very much by the in- troduction of new machine for taking out the stone from the clay.-Herald.
