One of your Castleton correspondents
spent week ago last Sabbath IN Wettflcld,
one OF the most delightful and enterprising
villages in western Massachusetts. In the
morning he attended meeting at the Meth
odist church, and listened to sound logl-
cal and practical discourse from Rev. Doc
tor Trombley, pastor of the church. The
music by a choir of thirty singers, accom-
panied with a seven thousand dollar organ,
was most superb. The house was built at
a cost of sixty thousand dollars and was
dedicated last June.
In the afternoon he attended the funeral
of MIR. Nathaniel Uhapen one of the oldest
and most respected men of the place where
he had re,ided thirty years. Besides hold
ing other offices of trust and responsibility,
he had represented the town in the general
assembly OF Massachusetts with honor to
himself and his constituents. He was 80
years of age, he leaves children and rela-
tives in Boston, Cleveland, New Haver,
Westfeld and Castleton.
In the evening the correspondent was
present at the services in the Second Con-
gregational church. aud had the pleasure
of hearing profound sermon from Rev
Mr. Hopkins, son of President Hopkins
of Williams college. He has been pastor
of this church eleven years and he prom.
ises brilliant future as a preacher and
pastor. The music at this church is OF the
Congregational order and ia attended with
a ten thousand dollar organ presided over
by a most skilful organist. The two in
struments above mentioned were manu-
featured at Westfield, where are two ex-
tensive organ manufactures. Westtield is
also a great cigar and whip making place.
n
seems as if every man smoked cigar.
Between two and three thousand men,
women and children are employed in cigar
and whip establishments, the most prom
inent being the American whip company,
National whip company, the Hampden
whip company, the Van Deusen whip com
pany, and numerous other concerns Of
lesser dimensions. The people of West
field remember their fallen heroes in the
late war for the preservation of the Union,
they having erected in 1872 on the CON-
mon, in most conspicuous place, q mag
nificent granite monument On which is a
colossal bronze figure representing soldier
in full military costume, with musket
and bayonet resting in the right hand,
across the breast and left arm at the elbow.
The attitude of the statue 10 grand. The
monument bears the names of sixty of their
brave defenders. 1t is noble roll OF honor
and the monument and statue thereon is
noble deed achieved by humane, geDer-
ous and patriotic community.
