SECRETARY FIsH.-It has been
known for some time that desperate
efforts were being made to secure the
retirement Of Secretary Fish from the
State Department. He has stood too
long between the President and the
so-called friends of Cuban independ-
ence. They are determined that he
shall be put out of the way, and it is
stated as positive fact that Gen.
Grant, has promised to get rid of him
very soon after his return from West
Virginia The person from whom
this information is derived says there
is every reason for believing Mr.. Fishs
resignation will be required within
thirty days, unless the President
weakens most shamfully-So says a
late Washington Despatch.

The, following Preamble, Resolu-
lutions, and 'In MemViam," were
presented and unanimously adopted
by Woodstock Grange No. 67, on the
death of Hosea Vaughn, Esq, Of this
town, at a late meeting:
Whereas, 1t hath pleased orr kind
Heavenly Father to remove from the active
duties of earth to his reward our beloved
brother, Hosea Vaughn. Therefore
Resolved, That in the sudden death of our
Worthy Treasurer and much beloved brother
and citizen, we feel that a heavy stroke has
fallen upon our Grange. of which he was an
active member and faithful laborer safe
councillor, pleasant associate and devoted
Christian.
Resolued, That in manifestation of our deep
sorrow, we drape the Char and Table occupied
by our Worthy Brother, and put on our badge
of mourning for three successive meetings of
the Grange.
RasoiUed, That while we bow in humble
submission and with the most profound rev.
erence to the mandate of our kind Heavenly
Father, we have the sweet reflection that a
bright example has ever been set before us in
the life of our much esteemed Brother, by q
ready hand and willing heart to relieve the
sufferings and needful wants of those around
bin. Let us follow his example and emulat o
his virtues.

During the thunder storm last
Thursday between twelve and one O.
clock the lightning made Quechee a
''hearty call" producing somewhat of
a "commotion in camp" Entering
a house belonging to the factory Co.,
and occupied by the family of a labor
er in their employ, it passed through
the floor, very near to where a woman
was standing. Glass was smashed
from the windows in a wholesale man
ner, plastering thrown from the cell
ing, crockery demolished and the
house walls literally riddled with
holes. Although the house is a small
one, and quite number Of the family
were in it at the time, yet no one was
injured, save a little girl whose hand
was slightly burnt by the electric
fluid In front of this house, and at
the junction of the roads, stood a
guide-post, which was also torn in
pieces, and fragments hurled into a
meadow, several rods distant. The
lightning also followed the telegraph
line into the Office at Cushings e. Alb
bolts store, melting the wire in sever
al places, stripping nails from the
poles, and breaking three large pains
Of glass from the store window and
doing other damage. Shade trees
were injured and several persons pros
trated by the shock.
