his trade under Mr.. Walton, from Plymouth
Mass, since which time he has occupied the re-
sponsible position Of foreman. In this position he
has proved himself to be competent, faithful and
courteous printer and gentleman. When, there
fore, he decided that his best interests demanded
his return to Plymouth, 1t was thoughtful recog-
milton Of and deserved tribute To his merits that the
employees Of this office made on Saturday last in
presenting him with an elegant silver service,
which they had purchased for that purpose. Mr.
Cave has the best wishes Of his hosts OF friends In

A ROMANCE AT BENNINGTON. Ira W. Philbriek
died at the Stark House Bennington, last Janu-
airy, and his remains were taken to Concord, n
H., by 4 woman supposed to be his wife. On
Wednesday of last week lady appeared in Ben
nington and claimed to be the Fightful Mrs. Phil
brick, and showed certificate from q Boston
physician to that effect She says Philbrick lefi
her seven years since, and that she has not since
him until her eyes fell upon his lifeess body
ON its arrival In Concord. She claims that the
only time she ever saw wife No % was on her
arrival with the remains there, when she wife No
u objected that 1.-TWO wives i" should bury him
Consequently wife No. . disappeared, and has not
been seen by her since. The woman who claims
to be wife No. is at Bennington 10 obtain the
necessary physicians certificate OF death, to com
pete proof OF loss, and thereby secure the 81 600
insurance upon her husbands life. The agent
through which the insurance was effected has
written to DIR. Potter in behalf OF the lady who
claims TO be wife No. !, and he will promptly COM
ply with her wishes

GOSPEL MEETINGS. The meetings which were
held In this place by the executive committee Of
the Young Mems Christian Associations, under the
lead Of Nit. Davis, were very largely attended,
and very useful. No attempt was made by them
to bring the people to an immediate and decided
action on the subject OF personal religious duty
and therefore we cannot report any results But
that the meetings were highly effective and ele-
waiting, and will long tell for the highest good
Of the churches here, and OF all those that at
tended them, there can be no doubt They were
actively supported by the pastors Of the three
churches inviting them. On Sunday afternoon
and evening, Bethany church was filled with
large and profoundly interested audiences. Nearly
thousand persons were present on each occa-
sion. The meetings on Friday, in the Baptist
church, and on Saturday in Trinity church, were
fully attended and were very instructive The
Bible service OF Mr.. Davis was exceedingly happy
We are confident that these meetings, while not
sensational or emotional to high degree, must
have decided influence upon the judgments and
