/ COL Nesmith brought with hin
Efrom the East four fine stations
which he has taken to his ranch il
Polk county. Following is tht
description of the animals:
A large black stallion of the
"Knox" and "Messenger" stock
16a hands high, and weighing 800
pounds, is the finest animal We
have ever seen OF his class, as he il
not only handsomely built, but
combines all the points which 60
to make up a good horse. He is q
fast trotter, and is gentle and kind,
devoid of fear and willing 70 so
anywhere his groom wishes him to
go.
"Delaware' is a thoroughbred
stallion about 16 hands high, from
the old Lexington" stock, and
during his career upon the turf has
come out winner OF twelve hard
fought races, and second in but two.
He is of dark bay color, with a
noble looking face, and is Of 50
docile and kind nature that he
never attempts to injure any one.
This animal.i is no doubt the iieetest

and during the Fair we will no
doubt hear ofhis performances.
The other two stations are three
year-olds, Of the cd "Knox" and
Messenger" stock, weighing about
1000 pounds each, and in their
build and action clearly resemble

would find ready purchasersat al
most any price within reason.

with the exceedingly low prices Of

reputable set of jackals than has this man. can put myself upon the track of the best man in Pittsfield, In the spirit of suspicion, and pick up in four weeks facts enough to smut his reputation if carefully miscon strue them, and much more could be done in four yeGrs.
 Thousands of innocent things occur in every life which, when misconstrued in the spirit of jealousy and hate, can never be explained to the satisfaction of suspicious mind, and no men, or set of men, have right to demand such an explanation. Beecher's own words may be put into the mouths of many of us in life's troubles-'I know my innocence but find myself unable to prove it.
 What are the lessons of this great scan dal?
 l. Character is the most sacred thing we possess. Let us always do our best to pro tect it in others.
 ?. Never believe ill of any one this side of the taets proving without the least doubt his guilt. Never believe i'll of any one so long as you can believe good Of him. ..
 3. Never take up reproach against your neighbors. This is just what you would wish others to do to you.
 4. Be over-credulous of your fellow men rather than over-suspicious.
 5. Always put yourself on the defence of good character when accused, and leave the dirty work of uncovering the cess pools of society to the devil.

 Our town is progressing, as late i'm provement shows. The old cemetery in the south part of the village has just been cleared of the briers and other rubbish which have long been disgrace to anyone interested.

Little & Hurlburt have piece of corn, the ears it is said av- eraging half yard in length. From the description it must yield more than any other in this vicinity.

 believe the chronic grumblers for once in their lives failed to find fault with the weather during the gentle rains which fell last week and so thoroughly laid the dust that from the recent drouth had gotten to be an intolerable nuisance. They held their tongues and let it ram in peace, either from sense of relief at the advent of the long coveted change, or their throats had become so parched uaG clogged by the con- tinuous inhaling of their mother earth that they were unable to give utterance to their customary gloomy iorebodings......Tr Traffic is dull, so say our merchants, and the pros pect for the future is not very f1atterihg, since there is no immediate or remote pros pect of the revival of the iron business. Judging however from the fact that our friend Dr. Knight is night and day on the go among the hills and through the valleys of this and adjoining towns, ministering to the sick, am bound to report business in his line first rate. At meeting of the members of St. Johns Episcopal church in this village on Tuesday the 18th inst, it was resolved to adopt what is commonly called the envelope system for the purpose of raising the funds necessary to meet the expenses of the parish. ......One Griswold was arrested last Tuesday and brought be- fore Justice Prindle on charge of assault and battery preferred by one Rogers.

 I hardly know where to begin writing about the news in town. We have been entertained during the past two weeks by a street bear dance, runaway, (no one in jured, fight and an organ grinder with monkey also the Hampton singers, and next week we are to have minstrel troupe at the Town Hall The Hampton concert was we'll attended, and the entertainment heartily enjoyed by all....: The farmers are busy cutting their corn, the first frost was noticed on Tuesday morning of this week. ......The grounds recently graded back of the Union depot, has very much improved the appearance, and made it more conven- tent for teams driving up to the platform. ......The City Fathers did good thing on the main street in bridging the brook near Knickerbocker's feed store. But their leav- ing his side with no walk or bridge appears as though the heavy tax payers on the op- posite side of the street were the only ones to be benefited. We are glad to see MT. K. has enterprise enough to grade his own walk and to build a foot bridge on his side of the street......We have missed Hiram, the chorister at the M. E. Church. for two Sabbaths past and learn he has been away visiting. The Key. Bishop Williams of the Protestant Episcopal church made his annual visit to this parish and confirmed persons. The church is prospecting under the pastorate of Rev. B. Whittlesey.... The Congregationalistsa are without settled pas. tor. Two of their candidates have preached here in the M. B. Church on Sabbath even- ings.. There has within few weeks been quite mania for pups in our village, and nearly every other family is supplied. We presume they arc in training against another visit of burglars. Last week MT. and Mrs. Wm. Adam celebrated their gol- den wedding, only the family being present. Surely It is pleasant to record an event like this. MT. and Mrs. Adam are the first families who settled in this town.

inc, the realness was so manifest and unde niable, that it was worship-as true and moving as if it had been in St. Paul's or Westminster Abbey.
 And then came the sermon, from the text Then the children of men began to call up- on the name of ihe Lord Plain, terse, scriptural, but vigorous and practical. From first to last not waste word, not struggling idea. One manly foot march across open country, with the troops all ln order. The theme was of course prayer; the old theme, which, in 8 masters hand is always new. Real prayer, private prayer, household prayer, all enforced in hearty human fashion, the whole based in theology but growing out of theology and translated into life. do not know when have heard anything more egreifend, as the Germans so we'll say which so took me up and held me and carried me breathess to the end. l do not know when 1 have found tears in my eyes under sermon, but did last Sun day. The effect heightened of course by the reverence which felt for the preacher, and the fact that his ministry is now com ing to an end had an effect such as have not felt for many day, and what would go twice forty-f miles to receive,
 In making this sketch, which I am dolng for reasons that will presently appear, J that there are circumstances in this case, aside from the one just mentioned, which are peculiar. Six years ago heard Dr. Bushnell say that that very village pastor is in force of intellect second to no man in the United States whom he had eyer met Four years ago I heard Governor Jewell in dicate him AS one of the noblest and most Romanesque men whom he knew and at the state conferences 1 had marked that he is Nestor in the band of picked men. I knew too, that by the drift of circumstan- ces this minister's household possesses wealth, not simply great measured by the local standard, but by Hartford or a New York standard; a fact which the keenest judge of men would never for a moment guess of that shy and almost excessively re- tiring man. Always pecuniarily independ- .ent; nay far more than this word implies, he has yet done his Masters work most la boriously, faithfully and well, till the limit of three score years and ten warns him that the shadows of life will soon draw near.
