Tribute of Respect.

lnasmuch as we firmly believe that the good
opinion of our associates in the paths of duty
is one of the strongest incentives 10 noble ac-
ton and virtnous living, and since Almighty
God, the Great Patron of us all, has wisely
ordered that one of the most beautiful Offices
of memory and affection is to gather up and
store away the reeollections of our brethren
who precede us in crossing the-weird river Of
death to the great harvest field Of the here
after; and since we would guard ourselves
from this too common habit of forgetting its
worthy dead therefore by Bethesda Grange,
No. "a, of the Patrons of IIusbandry. at this
meeting in their ball, April 4th, 1876,
Resoiced, That in the death of brother Green
bury NJ Watkins, occurring at Boscage his
residence, March 26th 1876, after a long and
painful illness patiently borne, this Grange in
particular and our Order throughout the land
has received a blow which has filed our hearts
with sorrow for our stricken Grange, and
sympathy for his bereaved family.
Resolced, That while we bow our heads in
humble submission to Divine Providence who
called him away from his great usefulness
among his fellowmen 10 his reward above, we
are compelled, from the infrmity of our ma
ture deeply to deplore his removal from among
us at that period of his life when his admira-
Bile judgment rpened by experience, and his
large affections in full sympathy with his
friends and neghbors, gave assurance of a
rich harvest oe noble benefactions TO both
Church and State.
RESOLVED, That while grieving for ourselves,
we ask the sweet privilege of sympathizing
with the Church of which he was both an
honorable member and efficient officer, and
with that family of which he was alike the
affectionate husband and devoted father
Resoloed That copies of these proceedings
be sent to the family OF our deceased brother
10 the Pastor of Bethesda Church and to the
county papers for publication, and that they
be spread upon the record of our Grange, and
in token of our grief for the dead and sympa-
thy for the living We wear the usual badge of
mourning for thirty days.

The testimony of Colonel Brodhead throws
new light upon General Babcock's operations
in the St. Louis whiskey ring. a trusty de-
tective of the government, who was directed
TO watch his movements about the time of his
trial, reports that Babcock had hired two
well-known burglars to rob the safe of the
district attorney, and steal the important
papers in his care. Additional evidence was
also given to show the desperate means which
were taken to secure his acquittal. No wonder

The Washington Star says: The fact has
been developed before a Congressional com
millee that the profits of many of the mail
route contractors few years since were sim
ply enormous. One contractor made an an
nual profit of Sl2o, 900, while certain firm
divided 500, 600 profits per quarter, making
their yearly profits $500, 900. Its easy to see,
therefore, why the expenditures of the Post
0Gice department in The past have been SO
largely in excess Of The receipts.

The total amount for which Judgment was

taken to the Court of Appeals, and if the de-
cision of that tribunal should be adverse to
the Company, to the Supreme Court also. The
Company bases its defence on three points
which were not raised in the previous cases,
but which are now regarded by the Company
as sufficiently weighty as TO suggest the pro-
liability of a decision in its favor by the Courts
of last resort. This last judgment, together
with the amour already collected, will make
an aggregate Of over one and quarter mil
