PROCTORSNlLLE.
On the 14th of September the Rev.
Mr.. Worthing, of Springfield, supplied
the desk of the NJ. E. Church. Two
young men were baptized and united
with the church.
In ancient times, we are told by his
torians that the founders of the city of
Rome carried off the Sabine women for
wives Our esteemed pastor has done
better. for recently he has been down
into Windham county, where the Athe-
mans of that country have furnished
him with avery desirable helpmeet from
among their goodly people. The ladies
of his society here, with cOmmendable
zeal and without the least evidence of
jealousy, filled the parsonage with food
and flowers in his absence, so that on
his return the young couple received a
very pleasant surprise and welcome. On
Sunday, the 28th, after the morning ser
vice, the Sunday school children gave
short and interesting entertainment by
way of a concert Miss Phebe Ball of
Athens, and Miss Damon of this place,
both attendants of the Black River
Academy at Ludlow, by invitation, each
gave an excellent recitation to an atten-
tive and appreciative audience.
Judge Isaac Parker, of Coventry,
native of this place, now in the eighty
third year of his age, is visiting his
friends and relations here, and it does
one good to look upon such a well-pre-
served specimen of OctOgenarian man
hood. Judge Parker graduated at Mid
dlebury College tlfty-eight years ago. In
the dignity of his department and adj
dress, he reminds one of his nephews,
Judge Isaac Fletcher Redfeld, now of
Boston, and Timothy Redfield of Mont
pelier.
Some of our young people have
formed lodge of Good Templars here,
and seem in earnest effort to revive the
doctrine of moral suasion, and, by kind
ly entreaty, to stay the tide of intemper-
ance, which threatens to engulph the
most worthy youth of the community.
There would be no occasion to prosecute
and fine rumsellers, if rumbuyers could
only be persuaded not to tempt the hest
tating and unwilling CD vendor to con-
tinue histWO-faccd avoCatiOn.
BENSON LANDING.
A Frcnchman has been sailing up
and down Lake Champlain for a few
days past, peddIing liquor to the labor
ers on the New York and Canada rail
| road. Last week one James Parsons
fell out of a small boat near the Oliver
Hale place, in Putnam, and drowned in
ten feet of water His body was recOv-
cred on Sunday afternoon. Sept. 21st.
( The coroner at Whitehall was notified
and held an inquest on Monday after
noon. Verdict Of the jury, ''Dicd from
too much poor whisky" The man who
furnished the whisky Cat Sl.G0 per pinto
was missing soon after. The body was
brought to Benson Landing and buried
at the Carter street burying ground on
Tuesday afternoon. This is the second
instance of this kind in this vicinity
within a month past. This man Par
/ SONS is a native of England, where he
/ has a wife and child living lie has
been in this country about eighteen
months, having fled from home on &C
/ count of resisting an officer who at
/ tempted to arrest him. lie had been at
/ work on section /" in Putnam.
The water in Lake Champlain has
not been as low as at the present time
( for many years-not within the rcmcm-
! hrance of those who have lived there
I for fifty years. F.
FAIRHAyEN.
The failures and panic in New York
disturb Us inst little ID our usually
composed village. Mr.. Dewitt Leonord
loses quite an amount by the failure of
Henry Clews d Co. There are other
parties who are Watching anXi0usly
! every report of failures, expecting to
learn that they are also losers. Why
don't the government issue two hundred
I million of greenbacks and put them into
| circulation, and thus relieve The coun-
try? The fact is, we haVa not sufficient
currency to meet the business demands
of the country. With orr rapidly in
creasing population and business, we
must have a proportionate increase in
our currency, or suffer the consequences
which always attend stringent money
market.
The Rev. Mr.. Anderson has given
up his labors in the Congregational
church and gone to AndOyer, TO complete
his theological studies.
The Baptist society have determin-
cd to complete their church during the
autumn and winter
The Methodists are making some
repairs upon their church, by way OF
/ painting, CtC.
A. Decelle, who left here n few
weeks ago and engaged in the boot anC
shoe business in Rutland, has returned
and again opened his shop here.
C. D. Spencer has another lectur,
which he is prepared to deliver, the sub
iect of which is ''Political corruption,i ii
cause, effect and cure 1t is really
quite an able discourse, and contains
many ideas which should be brought be
fore the people, and from which the.
/ can learn much He does not quibbl
over parties on party lines, but tells tn
facts Just as they are, let them hit wh'
or where they will.
DR. c. II. Carpenter asks some on
1 to beat him on squashes, he has ON
= which measures five feet and six inches
and one five feet and nine inches in cir
conference.
We cannot see the object nor th
motive that b. w. B. can have in dis
couraging and making fun OF those IN
fortunate gentlemen who came into thel
; village on the first Tuesday in Septen

say that the spirit which prompted then
should be encouraged in that town, 70
