1t is singular fact that each day of the
week is professedly set apart and observed as
period of rest among mankind. Thus, Sunday

the Grecians, Tuesday by the Persians Wedncs-

tians, Friday by the Turks. and Saturday by
the Jews

We have said nothing of this case before, be-
cause we had bound ourselves not to make it
public until the success ofthe experiment was
finally determined. The unlucky accident
which caused the ultimate death of the child,
and leaves still doubtful the practicability of
the experiment, gives us an opportunity to lay
the circumstances before the public for its con-
sideration.

The decoration services at Grafton
We're something quite uncommon in that
pleasant and romantic village. The ar
engagements for the occasion had been
previously made by the appointment of
l.. S, Walker, Esq, President; A. ii.
Burgess, and S. j. Smith, Marshals
Rev. f. j. Ward, Chaplain.
The services We're commenced by the
assembly of a large number of people
from Grafton and surrounding towns, at
the Congregational church. The Graf
ton Cornet Band discoursed appropriate
music. The choir sang patriotic songs,
and an eloquent and appropriate ad-
dress was made by Geo Z. Lawrence,
Esq, of Rutland, the Orator of the day,
after which a procession was formed
and moved to the cemetery, where the
Rev. S. w. Field made touching and
feeling address, and the graves were dec
GRATED. There were nineteen graves
decorated in the cemetery, and tributes
deposited for eight unknown graves.
The most striking feature of the pro-
cession was the part taken by some thir-
ty or more of the most beautiful young
ladies, dressed in spotless white to en-
courage the orator, who has a tender
heart, and distribute the floral honors
upon the sacred mounds, under which
sleep the brave soldiers sent by Grafton
to defend the Union of these States.-

BRATTLEBoRo.-Bra did her.
sell much honor in the highly credita-
BILE manner with which she observed
Decoration Day. Col. w. G. Veasey
delivered an admirable address on Gen
Geo. G. Meade. The Town Hall was
filled to overlooking, and during the
same time there was more than an equal
number outside, and the demonstration
fairly represented the county, there being
but few if any towns in the county that
we're not quite fully represented. Sever
al organizations in Brattleboro, Military,
Masonic Fraternity, Odd Fellows, St
Michael's Temperance Society, &c, all
in uniform and regalia, furnish the ma
terial for very grand display and was
brought out admirably on this occasion.
After the services at the Town Hall the
procession moved to the cemetery and
there decorated many graves of soldiers
The body of the Buddington child
lately drowned at Centfeville, has not
yet been found, though the search has
been most thorough.
The wife of o. L. French, one of the
editors and publishers of the Brattleboro
Phoenix, died suddenly Saturday morn
ing of last week, exciting a deep sympa-
patty for Mr.. French in his severe affiic-
ton.
The busiest man in Brattleboro these
days is G. E. Allen, who is shipping
plants, shrubbery, &C., from his green
house and garden.
Ex-Gov. Frederick Holbrook, who
has been connected with the Center Con-
gregational church for about forty years,
has resigned his position as chorister,
and Mr.. A. E. Barrett has been engaged
for the place.
The Fisk monument was dedicated
and decorated on the forenoon of Dec
Grafton Day. Mrs. Fisk and other mem
bers of the family and about twenty
members of the 9th New York regi-
ment were present from New York, be-
sides large crowd of people. Rev. Mr..
Harris of Brattleboro made an address
and brief remarks we're also made by
the colonel of the regiment, with appro-
pirate music by the Brattleboro cornet
band.

DISTRESSING ACoTDENT.-The Mont
pelier Journal says that on Monday af-
ternoon of last week, as Alonzo Good
now with his son were going home from
Montpelier. when near Sabin's crossing
ON the Montpelier and Wells River Rail-
road, he saw hand car, followed by a
small car, coming. Fearing that he
might have trouble with his horse, Mr.
Goodnow got out of his wagon and had
got one trace unhitched when the horse
became unmanageable and dragged Mr..
Goodnow on to the track just in front of
the hand car. By some means, in the
confusion that followed, it is uncertain
just how, Mr.. Goodnow was severely in
jured, his back being broken just above
the kidneys, and he now lies in perfect
ly helpless condition with no prospect of
recovery. He leaves wife and five
children.
