EDITOR HERALD:-Rainy days have
once more given place to the golden
sunshine, and dewy morn. Crop pros
poets are more favorable. That part
of our county which was not entirely
inundated during the rainy season, has
revived wonderfully during the last
two weeks, and it is probable that the
yield will considerably exceed that of
last year. The wheat-thresher is heard
no more within our land; and now
there is but little to break the peace
full quietude, save the song of the grass
hopper, by day, and the accusations of
the katydid, by night. There is plen-
ty Of cake and fair prospect for sor-
ghum.

Nr. Bain's Lecture.

According to PUBLISHED appointment,
Mr.. George w. Balm, Grand Counsel
or of the |. o. q. T.. addressed Il small
Audience of our people at the court>
house. 1t was unfortunate that Bro.
Bain's visit occurred just at this time,
for he is Il favOrite here, and never be-
fore failed TO be greeted with Il crowd.
ed house. But Just now there is
scarcely a family in town free from
sickness, hence the light turnout to
hear the peerless advocate Of the tenn
perance cause. His lecture was able,
of course, logical and convincing. lie
stated facts that are undisputable and
advanced arguments that are unanswer-
able His flights of fancy were brilliant
and 2Oetical; his anecdotes pointed,
apt and witty; and his entire speech
was a credit to himself, to his cause,
and gave unbounded satisfaction to
his audience. We hope that Brother
Balm will visit us again at some more
auspacious period, when the town is
not crushed under the ban Of almost
universal disease.

Resolutions Of Respect Adopted
by the Hartford sabbath School
and Choir. September 18th 1879.

WHEREAS On the 9TH day Of September,
1875, it pleased our Heavenly Father to
call from time to eternity our beloved
friend and associate, Miss JENNIE NJ
TAYLOR, it is fitting that we, her survi-
vors. feeling deeply her loss, should pay
a proper tribute to her memory. While
we recognize and bow to the will of God
in depriving us of our dear friend; while
we realize the sad fact that she no longer
occupies. her accustomed seat in her class;
that the flush has faded from her cheek.
the lustre from her eye; that the joyous
smile has left the lip, and Deaths cold
touch has chilled the fountains of the
heart; yet, it is sweet to remember that
lie who said, Come unto me" has sum-
moned dear JENNIE to share the joys of
Heaven, and, amid the ransomed throng,
with seraphic millions there to blend that
sweet alto voice in anthems of praise to
God, our Father, our Savior, our King.
Il 'soic5E That we will ever cherish
the tenderest recollections for the menu
DRY OF her whom we all loved so dearly.
ResolrcG That we offer to the sorley
bereaved family our sincerest coincidence,
in this their hour of deep sorrow.
Resolced: That THE Hartford HERALD
be requested to publish these resolutions,
and that a copy of the same be furnished
the family of the deceased.

NOVEMBER Is, IS54-SEPTEMBER, I, 1875.
Death lies on her, like an untimcly frost
Upon fine sweetest low'r Of all the field.
[SiakoPeu,e.
The subject Of this memorial tribute
was one of those rare lovabIe characters
the good Cop at long and inrrequent in
tervaIs accords to earth as evidence OF the
existence of angels.
She possessed in profuson many of the
attributes that we credit to the bright sis
terhood Of Heaven, and was remarkably
free from the grosser elements that pecu-
liarly mark and mar humanity.
Her heart was fountain OF love whose
sweet, sympathetic waters ran out to all
her fellow-creatures.
Her soul never harbored hate or envy.
Her nature was essentially symathetic,
and the sorrows and griefs OF her friends
weighed upon her as her own.
No one knew her, but to love; no one
named her, but to praise.
Too pure, too good for earth, in the
dawn OF her sinless youth and the radiance
oil her maiden beauty, she has passed
away, like the fragile tropic flower that
reserves its sweetest incense for and bares
its snowy bosom to the first beam of the
hooroD
In her death our little community has
suffered an irreparable loss.
Her beauty was transient as the hue OF
the rose, and perishes in the gloom of the
tomb.
Her voice was sweet and musical as the
tones of the fairy-harp hidden in the ever
green branches of the mountain pine
1t rang clear as a silver bell when she
sang, and was soft and melodous as a
flute upon water when she conversed.
"Alas! silence reigns where music was.''
she is not dead, but sleepeth."
Thanks be unto COP, the Newer Day
and the Perfect Vision cometh, when we
shall look upon her more radiantly beau
tiful than when on earth she walked "the
center and the pivot of our loving hearts. -
Early dead; but not before she had
sought and found 1.-The way unto saliva
ton"
Death, for her, had no terror
In the refulgent light of the Cross the
grave shone as the gateway to the City OF
Cop, bright as the morning with precious
jewels more brilliant than many suns"
Let us all who knew and loved her
make her our exemplar-live as she lived,
die as she die1-that we may meet and
greet her ain our Fathers house"
Let us not forget, amid our tears and
mourning, that though she is dead to us
she is alive to all the beauty and glory
and grandeur and enduring happiness Of
Heaven.
And when we sing her favorite hymn,
let us sing it as she sung it, with hearts
attuned to its lofty aspirations, making
each line prayer and every verse a sup
plication.
Let me so; my soul is weary
Ofthe chain which binds it here;
Let my spirit bend its pinion
To brighter, holier sphere:
Earth, tits true, hath friends who bless mi
With their fond and faithful love,
But the hands of angels beckon
Onward to the elimes above.

a Singular Stalk o; Corn.

Mr.. John a. Taylor, living near
Cromwell, brought to this office one
day last week, Il forkcd stalk of corn.
1t evidently grew from one grain, as
the fork was fully two feet above the
ground, and was a single stalk from
the fork down to the ground. Some
Of our oldest farmers say they never
saw anything to equal it in the way of
Il stalk of corn.

n Correction.

The local which appeared last week
in regard to "John p. Barrett, of
Louisville, Ky, &C." was gotten mp
for joke, but as great many in the
country believed it to be true, we
make this correction. There is noth>
ing ofit. He is still here and expects
to remain. At the time it was written,
he was travelling for the Pomeroy Coal
Company, and was in the city a great
portion of his time.

din county, made his escape from the

Wet pants, which he dyed to a dark
brownish color, and by means of an
Old pea.jacket, a straw hat, and pair
of Burnside whiskers, proceeded to the
front gate, rang the bell and was al
lowed to 90 on his way without detec-
ton. He is an adroit thief, and a
shrewd criminal. 1t is thought he
was born in Louisville, and christened
with the name of James Wells, as he
has been heard to say. His operations
have been in Kentucky and Missouri

penitentiary for larceny. His aliases
are numerous. Coffee is said to be
about 32 years Of age, ) feet st inches
high, and weighs III pounds; has

of the game, by recOunting the best
