At Rest.


MR ALEXANDER SMITH, a worthy citizen u
this town, living on the Wing farm next east Of
Mr. Nuts, whose mental arrangement Of late has
excited the sympathlcs Of all our people, died on
Thursday last, and was buried on saturday. The
case is singularly painful one
Mr., Smith was a son Of the late Joseph Smith,
q widely -kuown hotel keeper in Bolton, in which
town, we believe the early part Of his life was
spent Eight years since he moved TO Montpelier
from williamstown, where he had resided for
twelve or fourteen years. lie was an industrious
well-to-do farmer and enjoyed the confidence and
respect Of all who knew him. To an uncommonly
large and muscular physical frame he added a
calm and even temperament, whereby he was hap
PLY free from the fret and worry which come to
men Of a different makeup. During the late
winter or early spring, he complained Of being
unwcll, and soon fell into Responding mood
which ripened into the fixed belief that he was
about 10 die, and he often called in the family and
neighbors to witness his death. This conviction
grew upon him gradually but constantly, until,
since sugaring, he has been untitled for his ordi-
nary business. Before June his mind became al
most enthcly unhnged, aud he imagined himself
given up to the possession and control Of the devil.
either to himself or his friends and with the hope
Of successful medical treatment, he was taken 10
Brattleboro some three months since but after q
two months fruitless trial, he was brought home.
Since then his disease seems 10 have not only had
full possession Of his mind, but 10 have been rap
idly undermining his remarkable physical powers.
Through the malign influence OF this evil posses
sion, he not only refused TO eat-having taken
almost no nourishment during the month since his
return from the asylum-but, before his death,
was literally driven to rapidly pace his room for
thirty-sx consecutive hours, and then, with only
twenty-four hours rest, walked his room again
for forty hours, without moments respite. Be
meath such terrible assault even such powerful
resources as he POSSESSED gradually failed and on
Thursday last he calmly and peacefully fell asleep
The immediate cause Of Mr. Smiths dennge-
ment has been a matter Of some doubt among the
physicians. but uuquestionably the case was re-
guarded as moro hopeless from the fact that there
was some reason to regard it as hereditary. But
pOst-mortem examination revealed the cause to
have been icdter upon he brain, which was found
in quantities sufficient to have caused death much
earlier in ordinary physical organizations.
Mr. Smith was a most excellent man in all the
relations Of life lie was a regular attendant on
the Methodist church and Sunday-school, and
was about to unite with the church when his ~
ness came on lie leaves a wife and several chill
dren, upon whom the blow falls with crushing
weight They have the sympathy Of all

and died the following Thursday. Thus suddenly
was he snatched from the hands of his fond pa

interesting boy As soon as he was old enough
to understand about such things, he WAS anxious
to be baptized and repeatedly talked to his
parents ia regard to it, In July OF last year they
publicly consecrated him, with his little brother,
TO the Lord In baptism It was great gratiica-

as well as from what he said about IT, Not long
after he asked his mother how old he must be
before he could unite with the church. Such
things showed the bent Of his mind and are
source of great comfort TO his friends in view of
his untimely death. The morning Of the day in
which he died, he said he knew he was going TO
die. But short time before he breathed his last
he asked his parents to kiss him goodbye before
he went home With the parting kiss he was
taken, as we trust TO the arms of the Saviour ..,
