PORT HENRY.


nounce the convalescence of S. j.. Nor
rison, ESQ.,, the popular Superintendent
of the t. G.. g. NJ r. r., who has lain
dangerously i'll for some weeks. His
physicians pronounce the crisis of his
disease past and his recovery probable,
which is very welcome news among his
large circle of friends.
From all the news we can gather on
the subject we have little hesitation in
predicting the election of Hon. T. W.
Tobey as our next Senator, and we con-
slider it an evidence of the integrity and
good sense of the voters of the district.
The heavy, cherries looking walls
of the new jail with their narrow grated
windows are rising slowly, reminding us
that soon (tell in not in GATH another
popular need of our city will be sup
piled. We hope howeverin all candor that
the predictions respecting the popularity
of this public institution, and the liberal
patronage it is destined to receive, may
lack in the fulfillment. Still the law
abiding portion of our community think
1t a wise move to hayea Jail, and we say
amen.
The new depot at Cedar Point is so
nearly completed that it was occupied
for business on Tuesday last. 1t is by
no means an imposing structure, but ac-
cords well with the present management
of the road which is altogether too &C.
onomical for the comfort or convenience
of its patrons.
The new hotel of W. II. Treadway
opposite the post Office, is feature of
interest to the travelling public. The
house and furniture is all new, and as
we hear good accounts of the table we
think any one in search of a clean, COM
Portable bed and good square meal,
might go farther and fare worse. j.

The Congregational church is under
going repairs to the amount of twelve

MIR. Chas. D. Lane, of Cornwall,

They were of the finest quality and des-

Some rogues, one night last week,
took from the gate posts in the field sur
rounding the premises occupied by Mr..
S. 3. Rockwell, in our village, two iron
lions, and placed them on the front steps
of the residence of Mr.. Harry G..
Langworthy. The joke of the thing is,
that the gentlemen have been recently
engaged in controversy in our village
paper, respecting the right of Mr.. Rock
well to trim some trees in front of the
residence of Mr.. Langworthy, in viola
ton of the rights and feelings of Mr.. l..
If lamb could have been placed be-
tween them, and in front the image of
little child in the act of leading the lions
and the lamb, with the quotation from
the Scriptures, ''and the lion and the
lamb shall lie down together and a lit
tie child shall lead them, the moral
would be complete. But these were
the millenial dawn postponed. 1t is well
that these lions were harmless and power
less to inflict injury, or sad results might

their old to their new abode. But not
withstanding, the joke was a good one,
and created much amusement.
We were favored last Saturday af-
ternoon with a good, refreshing rain,
relieving us of the drouth that has pre-
vailed quite sorely of late in our county
Our pasture and meadow land will now
yield good supply of fall feed for the
comfort of man and beast.
With sorrow deep and severe. |
chronicle the death of Mr.. Charles Cooke
son of Samuel E. Cooke, Judge of
Probate for the District of Addison, re-
siding in our village. From the father
and mother death has taken their last
child. His age is about 90 years. Not
far from one year ago they lost a lovely
daughter. Now childless, these parents
with sorrow tread the path of life alone.
This son was most truly the pride of
their hearts. Little more than a year
since he graduated with honor from
Middlebury College, honored and be-
loved by his teachers and class mates.
His health failing, he sought last winter
the mild climate of Florida, where he
much improved. He returned home
this spring, and the change was unfa-
vorable. He soon began to fail in
health. A journey was taken with his.
father to the Adirondack Mountains. He
returned unimproved in health to the
homestead to die. Daily he perceptibly
failed, and on Sunday morning the 14th.
he fled from world Of disease and sor-
row, pain and death to the abode of the
blest. He was a young man of fine tai
ents, genial disposition, incorruptible
integrity and honor, and a lover of.truth
and righteousness. How fitting the Ian
guage of Inspiration in this case, ssMark
the perfect Man, and behold the upright.
