Advent church last Sunday afternoon, in
place of the regular services. The subject
was "The Second Advent" Several beau-
tiful poems were rected, among them
''Watching for the Martrc," by Miss Julia
Clifford. and "The Waiting Church." by
Helen Sherman, youngest daughter of G..
S. Sherman, Esq. The latter was peculiar
~ adapted to the natural temperament of
the little maid, who is earnest and thought
full far beyond her years, and was very
touching. The small classes gave a series
of reasons why the second advent should
be desired. and nearly the whole church
joined in Bible class exercises upon the
same topic. Rev. W. 5. Heimes, pastor
and superintendent. read "The Second
Coming-a Vision" by Mrs. Stowe. In
spite of some serious obstacles the affair
passed off very finely.
Elder j. v. Hines preached in the same
church in the forenoon, on ''the compost
ton and character of a christian"
The marriage of Miss Julia Barns,
daughter of Frank Barns, Esq, was as
plainly SIMPLE and quiet as could be de-
sired, only the family circle and the oflic.
ating clergyman and his wife being pre-
sent. The bridegroom, Mr.. +. F. John
son, of Salem, Mass, is of reputed wealth
and position.
The discharge of John Eastman from

public for several years at the depot, is n
matter of unusual regret.
Three Castleton ladies had their pockets
picked of considerable sum of money
while on their way to the fair one day last
week. The largest amount was lost by
Mrs. G. Potter, upon whom it falls heavily
as ii was the results of hard labors with
her needle, and she is not in circumstances
to afford the loss.
The closing concert of the Cambrian
band came off according to notice last
Saturday evening and was of course, q
most satisfactory affair. Many strangers
were in town attracted by the entertain
ments at the Town hall, and Bomoscen
house, but both places were models of pro-
priety and good order, Notwithstanding the
superabundance of small boys at both.
The Washington National Republican of
Thursday, Sept. 10th furnishes some pre-
mature particulars of project under con-
sideration ut Castleton tor the settlement
of a colony in Southern California. News
paper rapacity ferretcd it out of the re-
turns to the Interior Department, and its
publication at this period of the proceed
ings demand some explanation, which is
furnished by r. B. Warner, who is men
toned ms one of the projectors. The To-
cation is one of the finest in the world
owing to latitude and proximity to the
Pacific coast. The lowest range of the
thermometer is 400 highest 500, and
every product of the temperate and tropi-
cal regions may be successfully cultivated.
In the irrigated tracts the cereals produce
double the average of most of the west,
while in the non-irrigated regions the yield
equals the average amount produced at
other points. Coffee and tea are grown
readily and of a quality second to none of
the importations. Samples of both are in
Mr.. Westover's possession. Edwin Edger-
ton, Esq, will spend the winter near
Point Conception, acting as attorney in
the interests OF the colonsts. w. G. Bar
Der and others of wool-growing celebrity
design to make this their object in poin,
for the pursuit of their business, as dc
many other practical men in Rutland
county.
The regents of the university of Califor.
MIA have succeeded in ousting Prof. Ezra
Carr from the chair of agriculture, but
have gained thereby an uncomfortable
kind of notoriety it would seem, as thu
California and Nevada press are most bite
in denunciation of their action. 1t Seems
that all the grounds of complaint was tina
