DARWINIsA IN THE EVANGELICAL COPPER
KNCE.-After our report OF the proceedings OF
the Evangelical alliance closed yesterday, an
address was made ia faith and reason by Rev
DR.. Washburn, OF New York. Attic afternoon
session papers were read on 'sChristisnity and
Humanity" theology and philosophy. To an
interrogatory submitted Mr.. Dawson ais there
necessary antagonism between the Darwinism
theory and the Christian church" he replied that
II was rather hard question, and that IL would
take well prepared treatise 70 respond salts
factorily. However, he would do his best He
said that In science we do not hold that we can
do anything without matter and force. Scien-
lists hold TO creation, and the Spencerian phil
osophers hold that they can produce living
bodies from dead matter. This they have not
however, as yet fully proved. The DarHinian
system is as follows: That all forms of yegeta-
BILE and animal matter are the result of unde-
signing force. Darwin reasons As TO the posi-
bility of the development of species, but does
not produce any scientific facts. There NAV be
a modified variety of truth in the Darwlnian
system as TO the various varieties of races; but
that man was produced from an ape does not at
all accord with scrIptural revelation.

WOODEN WEDDING.

AS weddings of all kinds are usually
interesting, we would not pass unnotlced
the celebrating of the anniversary which
occurred on June 4th, of Mr.. Alfred and
Mrs. Ella Williams. Although gotten up
in very quiet way, yet there gathered that
evening some 80 or more of their friends,
whose congi atulations and testimonials of
real value, including an extension table,
(Which, by the way, was filled, and sur
rounded with merry faces,) and other arti-
cles of beauty and WORTH crockery and dry
goods, were brought by kind ones, and
were quite as acceptable. And the two sis
ters have married the twin brothers! On
that morning of the 4th was the ceremony
matrimonial of Matte Powers and Albert
Williams. But that was not made public,
and was known to but few Of the guests
that evening. May their paths be made
pleasant through life
Religious meetings are held at the
school house in this district each Sunday

A picnic and Sabbath school celebra-
ton is in contemplation "Blake's grove"

ANNUAL PARADE OF THE FIRE DEPART
MENT-ExTRAoRDINARY PLAYING-wEsT-
ERIN OF WEST pRATTLEBoRo AGAINST THE
woRLDi
The annual parade of the Brattleboro
fire department occurred on Saturday af-
ternoon last. Estey's steamer was not
brought out, but Western engine company
of West Brattleboro Joined in the demon
straton, and the affair, as a whole, was
pleasant, harmonious aud satisfactory. Mu-
sic was furnished by the (unorganized)
cornet band and two drum corps. The pro-
cesson was formed at 2 o'clock, Z. NJ,
and an hour or more was spent in march
ing through the principal streets of the
village, after which the companies repair
cd 10 their several headquarters for rest
and refreshments the Western boys being
the guests of Protector Hook and Ladder
Company, No. |. The playing commence
ed at about 4 o'clock, at the customary
place on Main street, each engine using its
own hose and playing horizontally through
300 feet Fifteen minutes were allowed
each machine. Fountain Engine COmpa-
ny took the lead, but in making their play
the packing of the stern cylinder ofthe ma
chine blew out, and they were obliged TO re-
tire with arecord of l65 feet, IL inches. West
ern Engine Company of West Brattleboro
followed, making the extraordinary land
so far as we can learn, unprecedented) play
Of 223 IT,, 104in. Pbenix, No. @, registered l06
feet inches, and Hydropath. No. 3, 2Ol
feet ~ inches. Fountain, No. 4, having
had her cylinder repacked, made a second
trial, but ill luck continued to attend her,
and she failed to reach her former figures.
The sport concluded at o'clock, and Wes-
tern, No. ], was escorted 10 the top of High
street hill, bearing in undisputed triumph
the broom she won at Montpelier last year.
In regard TO the extraordinary play made
by this company it should be stated that
these figures are indisputable. There was
no breeze at the time, and the stream held
together with tenacity truly surprising.
The judges were Kittredge Haskins, Chas.
A. Trip and Thatcher Perry. The West
ern is a Zimmerman machine of moderate
by hand fire engine, so far AS we are in
formed, is that OF Maine engine of the
JeHorth pattern, which last year threw a
stream measuring about 224 feet, but only
used 200 feet of hose. The Western COM
pany may well challenge all creation to
beat the play made by them last Saturday.

Nothing of interest happens here. Our
thrifty citizens are erecting woodsheds, To-
bacco barns, etc., as in other towns of the
county. No, nothing happens here for a
newspaper to get hold OF, without some
old, steady going horse bethinks himself
to cut caper and thereby cause stampede
in the carriage behind him, as did the "old
white horse" last Thursday, at East Put
ney, causing Mrs. Pierce and companions
hastily 10 vacate their seats in the carriage,
except the lady who acted as driver. She
determined to rule "od white" If she had
to fight II out in the last ditch, where she
was soon landed under the carriage.
Thanks to the gentle habits Of the horse,
after he got over the bank the lady was i'm
mediately rescued from her dangerous po-
sition under the wreck. No serious injur-
les were received except by the carriage,
which had its top badly broken. x.

SINGULAR RETEIBUTIoN ON WHOLE
SALE PoIsoNER.-A dispatch from Decatur,
ILL.,, says that, last September, A. w. Drake,
farmer Lying near Moweauqua, H., died
under suspicious circumstances. Mrs.
York, his mother-in. law and housek eeper,
was suspected of having had something to
do with it. No steps, however, were taken
to investigate the matter, and Mrs. York
went To reside with her son in Kansas,
where, few days since, she was taken Sc
riously i'll. Her physician told her she had
but few hours to live, and then she con-
fessed to having poisoned her husband, in
1865; Mrs. Il. w. Drake, her daughter; two
children, Of a. w. Drake; the wife of L. r.
Drake; and last September, A. w. Drake.
She then went TO her sons, and, a short
time ago, made a mixture of poison to adj
minister TO him at the first opportunity.
Feeling unwell, a day or two since, she
went for some medicine in the cupboard,
and, by mistake, took the fatal dose pre-
pared for her son, which resulted in her
death.
