with a dexterity- that only scientific
fishermen display. They remained there
until they were afraid their families would
be anxious about them, and started for
home. AS they neared home their arrival
was announced Coats came off from a
small army, who were to prepare the fish
for the pan. Everything was ready but
the trout ; they were coming as the car
riage stopped at the Knights house, two trout
were found one measuring 81, the other
- inches long, their combined weight was
24 ounces. There was no trout supper
that night at the Knights house, but there
was resolve to keep away from Hubbard
ton brook, and let the Doc, Dave and
Hart have what trout there were there.

We hope it will be but seldom that we
shall be called upon TO chronicle the death
of one so young, so universally loved, and
so much needed here as Mrs. Jennie u c..
Cook wife of A. w. Cook, esq. Married
but little more than year ago, coming
from Vineland, N. she has in her short
residence among us impressed oil with her
grace and worth and in her death society
has sustained loss not easily filled. 1t is
indeed an afliiction 10 the husband to lose
so lovely companion, so kind wife, and
to the babe, left him,a souvenir of her short
companionshp with him in this life. He
certainly has the heartfelt sympathy of

LUDLOW.
Sunday the 9th inst, was pentecostal
day with the Baptist church at this place,
no less than 'hirty-three persons uniting
with this branch of the christian church,
twenty by profession and baptism,
and six by letter from other churches.
Nine members were received at the Con-
gregational church, making an addition of
fofty-two members to these two churches
in single day. The day being suspicious
a large number gathered TO witness the
blptsmal service as administered by the
pastor of the Baptist church, at the river
directly in front of the premises of Hon.
William II. Walker. The water of the
pond connected with the toy mandatory
sets back 10 this point in the river, afford
ing one of the pleasantest sites for the OBJ
servance of this rite to be found any where,
certainly in this vicinity. The grassy
lawn slopee gently to the waters edge, in
close proximity stands tall and spreading
elm, its branches extending on either side
far enough to shadow a company of no small
The covered bridge which
spans the stream just at this point, affords
standing room for at least hundred.
Taken all in all, the spectacle on this occa-
sion was not only picturesque, it might
truly be said to have been imposing. The
venerable forms of Rev. Ira Pearson and
wife, were to be seen among the throng on
this, to him, unusually interesting occasion.
1t will be remembered that Elder Pear
son was formerly the honored and beloved
pastor of the Baptist church at this place,
for period of nineteen consecutive years.
He and his companion are now well ad-
vanced in years, but the labors of each in
their appropriate sphere, are gratefully re-
membered by the entire community here,
and what is true of this place is equally
true of every place where they have lived
and labOred. Their presence on this occa-
sion was truly a benediclion. There was
one thing connected with this gathering
that ought not to have been-the needless
tramplng upon the cultivated portions of
our good natured states attorneys garden,
especially when there was no actual occa-
sion for it. The same remark will apply
to what is discoverabe at our cemetery. 1t
is well known that many persons expend
not a little time and money in Identifying
the last resting place of their dear departed
ones. When ones lot has been handsome
" terraced and newly seeded or set to
flowers, it does seem next to proclamation
for persons to heedlessly trample upon the
yielding earth, thereby SO greatly distigur-
ing it that its appearance is more indicative
of an abandoned camping ground of some
wandering band of .gipsies than the conse-
Grated place it was intended to be. When
will by far too many learn to respect the
rights, if not the feelings of those situated
as here indicated.
The countenances of the farming part of
the community are perceptibly shorter than
they were but a day or two since, the
much needed rain having thus suddenly
contracted them. Nothing unforeseen
turning up" and the usual "spell of wea.
ther' continuing right along, it is conf
IDENTIFY believed that the present season will
not prove an exception to those which have
heretofore furnished ''seed to the sowel
and bread to the eater"

Saturday night, about ten o'clock, the
