Mr. Marsh, the missionary of the S. S.
Union, as we noticed last week, address
ed the people of Barton and Glover yes
terday in behalf of the Society he rep
resents. He is warm hearted, earnest
Christian worker and ones heart could
not fail to have been warmed into great
er love for the Society which takes
care of the children HIS address was
more particularly about the needy and
destitute schools in the West, than any
theorizing as to S. S. management. The
people responding to the pecuniary call
so generally will please accept the graf

Four TIMES Orr THE TRACK IN ONE
DAY AND No DAMAGE DoNE.-Monday,
18th inst, the cattle train got off the
track twice at the Landing. The morn
ing mail train got blocked by the snow
at South Barton and was obliged to wait
for the noon express to pass. On start
ing up they had the good luck to ''get
off the track and be delayed another
hour or so. The way freight south, got
one pair of trucks off, near Nelson
Wright's, between here and the Landing,
and ran for mile and half,-going
over two of the highest bridges on the
road, before it was discovered. The
trucks were thoroughly smashed, other
wise no damage. The mail train North
the same night, due here at 6, did not
arrive until half-past one. Who would
mt be brave railroad boy" these
times 30, pity their sad doom y
Since the death of Lieut.. VIM. J. Sar-
tie, at Santa Fe, New Mexico, formerly
of this place, some strange rumors have
been IN circulation as to its cause. A
recent letter from Nettie to a friend,
says that Willie went out with some
other gentlemen for horse back ride,
when he was taken very i'll with a kid
ney difficulty, was brought home in an
ambulance very much reduced, and his
mind being very much deranged was put
to bed. The following day he was also
deranged. but during the afternoon SEEM
ed better and called for reading matter,
His sister stepped into another room, and
while there, she heard the report of a
rife and upon returning, found he had
placed the muzzle of the rife to his
mouth, drawing the trigger with his toes.
Our citizens were favored last week by
two lectures, one Tuesday evening, by
Gen. circuit, on "Robert Burns" the 9TH
er Friday evening, ''Our Great Repub.
lic," by j. S. Dorman, of North Troy.
Gen. CIRCUITS lecture was the same as
delivered here year ago, only revised
and improved. Mr.. Dorman's lecture
was new one-this being the first time
he ever delivered it-short and sweet
full of honest and patriotic expression
denunciatory of the last salary grabbing
Mo (bilious) and ofice-purchasing Con
gress. Away with Tammany, corrup
ton and intemperance, and all that bears
resemblance thereto, and let our repre-
sentatives be pure and temperate men
or the Republic will lose its goot
name and fade into insignifcance. Mr.
Dorman is one of the most popular ant
gentlemanly men of the county, and W
+ heartily wish him success in all his I'm
q dertakings. This lecture, We believe
f closes the course.
