A feeling of sadness has been thrown over our community by the sudden death of one of our young men, MT. Frank Lucas, which occurred on Friday morning, the 5thinst., after an illness of only about forty-eight hours. His symptoms were in some respects similar to those of persons recently dying in Sharon, ,..as described by your correspondent from that place, but terminated in fit of apoplexy. MT. Lucas, with his family, moved to Kansas. last spring, but the 'grasshopper raid," so discouraged him that he returned in the fall.
 Tt seems that MT. Zophar B. Landon, to whom we referred two weeks since, is not only successful Iowa farmer, but also licensed Methodist preacher. He gave us on Sunday last very interesting instructive and practical sermon.
 Our ladies are preparing for the en- tertainment at the parsonage on Thursday evening, Gas noticed in your paper of last week., and we are anticipating pleasant social interview as we'll as an opportunity to do good. E.

It has been difficult to get about on the ice since the rain of last week, which came much to the relief of those whose water supply was getting low.
 Nearly every family have been sick with hard colds and sore throats. These, with the intense cold weather and slip pery locomotion, have made home-keep- ing necessity.
 We are pleased to learn through your Goshen correspondent that they keep up there the good old-fashioned way of spell ing. We hope it may become epidemic and reach other communities. It is a branch of study sadly neglected in most of our schools.

The rain of last Wednesday, and the cold weather since. have made very bad travelling.
 At the adjourned annual town meet ing held last week Monday, it was voted that we appoint only one assessor at our fall town meetings instead of two as has been our usual custom. This was to save expense. For the past two years they have been over the town together, instead of dividing the work, and when they presented their bill of fifty odd dol lars to the town treasurer and first select man, last fall, he made them throw of the odd dollars before he would pay it. Good for him --....
 Two very sudden deaths occurred in the west part of the town, last week. The first was that of Widow Ethel Emmons, who was found dead in her bed on Tues daymorning. The second was that of a little daughter of George W. Hand, who was found dead while sitting in a rocking chair. Heart disease is supposed to be the cause in both cases.
 We have not heard much about our Farmers Club Meetings this winter.
 The ladies talk of having sociables to pass away an evening now and then. It is about time they commenced as it will be fine travelling very soon.
 Last Sunday the pulpit in the Cong. church was supplied by Rev. MT. Jones of Roxbury, exchanging with Rev. MT. Gidman.
 - This week, on Wednesday afternoon, the Ladies' Prayer Meeting will be held at the house of Mir. David Huntington, where also the Young Peoples Prayer Meeting meets on Thursday evening.
 The necessary amount for the sup port of preaching by the free seat system has been raised and also for repairing the church, parsonage, and conference room The Rev. H. R. Gidman has been engaged to supply the pulpit in the Congregation al Church for six months from the first of April next.

 On Wednesday evening, Jan. 27th, the ''annual visit" was made at the Par sonage. A large number of Mir. Upson's present parishioners, and some of his for mer ones were present. Conspicuous among the company was the pleasant face and portly form of the principal of the Birds Nest. and 0 dozen or more of pu- pills, also MT. H. Morehouse with some of his school. The musical performance by young ladies from both of these places, and Prof. W. W.,were very fine. Ample jus tice was done to the bountifully filled tables, and substantial evidence of the kind feeling of those present for their pastor, and friend, was left Tn the shape of roll of greenbacks. All there seemed to enjoy the evening very much.

 We have been uncommonly favored in having good sleighing for some weeks without having drifted roads, but our Sundays storm was of different type from the preceding ones, and instead of ! ending with drizzling rain, cleared of with high wind that tumbled the snow about, so that some of the roads about town were impossible till little shovel ing had been done. Several sleigh loads of people belonging to St Johns parish went over to Marbledale, Friday evening, and invited their, pastor and family to take tea with them at their own house, an invitation they could not we'll decline. A very few of the Marbledale people also spent the evening there, and a very enjoy able time it was too. We hear that anoth- CT affair of the same kind will occur there on Wednesday of the present week, when St. Andrews parish will entertain their re. ctor, Rev. Vim. Peck at his own home May they have as good 'sa time" as we did
 We hear thatinext week our Dramati.
