Warren.

Mir. Norman Lyman died on the 17th inst, of consumption
 There was no observance of the week of prayer. The week following there were several evening meetings at private hous- es.
 A young peoples meeting was held week before last, at Mrs. Tallhadge's i; about forty present. They met this week Tuesday evening at MT. A. T. Peek's.
 The young people of New Preston and Warren gave MT. Wm. Tanners family @ pleasant surprise, recently ? Several of our young nen have invi- tations from New Preston ladies to leap year party given by them Monday eve., Jan. 17th, at the Sherman House, Lake side. r'. x.
 We noticed last week that your cores pondent A.. mentioned that Warren was, very healthy this season: but ere that was read we listened to the tolling of the bell telling us that another of our towns peo- pie had been numbered with the. dead. MT. Norman s. Lyman died, the 17th, at the age of 33 years. The funeral was at- tended ut his fathers (Mr. Geo. Lyman. on Thursday. He leaves wife, and is mourned by large circle of friends and relations. He had been quite poorly for few days, but was out to the store the Saturday before he died. MT. Lyman will be greatly missed, not only as kind friend and neighbor, but also as a busi- ness man, having owned the cheese facto- ry, which has been largely patronized by most of the Warren farmers for several years. Our late pastor. Rev. Wm. E. Bassett, attended the funeral, ,and remain ed initown over the Sabbath, supplying the pulpit. Blessings are sometimes more fully realized when We are deprived of them, and all feel that losing our pastor has made vacancy we fear cannot easily be filled.
 Warren has never started spelling school, although it has been very strongly talked of, but we hear tkat there is a Reading Circle in being. When ace went to school we learned to read before learn. ing to spell.
 ,T ,TTTLeap year is observed here to some extent, but not with very good success, We are told but, judging from the sound of wheels over our hubby roads, those Tn a more southern latitude succeed much bet ter. >-'
 Something was spoken of last week about Dancing behind the Scenes;" we are inclined to think that if more had precticed the fine art in that way, a ittle, before appearing in public. they could have tripped the light fantastic toe just as s'T''N gf'aTc'e'iNupyf iena.H < rql#raT

gave a series of entertainments ia this city,
commencing with Monday and closing with
Wednesday evening. His opening was well
attended, and gave great satisfaction. As a
lecturer, Mr. Ferguson handled each sub
ject he touched upon in a manner at once
instructive and amusing. His illustrations
We're very fall, and included both song and
anecdote. Altogether his lecture was replete
with interest, and at the different points he
was greeted with rounds of applause. 4
great feature of the entertainment was his
playing on the bag-pipes, pronounced by
competent Judges superior to any music from
that instrument they had ever heard. As II
piper Mr.. Ferguson is said to be without an
equal, and certainly in his hands the bag
pipes are made 20 do the duty of u full band.
Miss Katie ShoIe assisted al the piano, and
altogether the entertainment was great
success.

| RAILROAD SUBSIDIES n dorb, o,
ers VIII remember at the time the WsIla
"aila and "allula Railroad Company spb-
inltted proposition TO the board Of coun,,
commissioners Of this county to aid the com.
Pany In constructing the railroad from tb;s
place to the Columbia River, by issuing neon.
table gold bonds to the amounts of S3OO OOa
payable in 20 years, and the interest IN bo
paid seni-annually in gold coin, we eneryet-
lcally opposed the proposition, both s. editor
oi the orATEsMAN, and in speeches at public
nee'lngs- We then showed that all s,,b
schemes had worked detrimental 70 the MAO
pie OF the counties in which such aid had
been granted that in reality it was building
railroad tor an entefprising few, at the er.
pense OF the taxpayers. II is true ths. the
Railroad Company offered to give a first
mortgage on the road and its rolling stock to
secure the payment Of the bonds at natnritv
and to place in the hands of the county com.
mlssioners OF this county in trust the entire
profits on down freghts for 29 years, unless
such profits SO placed in trust should sooner ba
sufficient to liquidate the entire pyincipal and
interest OF said gold bonds; and TO grant the
right to said county commissioners to estab-
llsh the rates on down freights for 20 Years.
but that the rates on down freights should
not be fixed at less sum than two dollar.
per ton, and cost of carriage. Now, if we
calmly look at these grants and having ex-
perlenced the management of the road. We
ask: What benefit would this grant BE- 10
usf What would the profits amount to after
looking at The Presidents report? We saw
1t candidly, had this proposition been carried,
this fertile county would be in hopeless
| condition. 1t would not only have caused
taxes to be enormously high, but it would
have retarded immigration; and instead of
now being happy and prosperous people, wo
would DO the very opposite. In the discus
sion OF this question before the people, the point
was not made, what effect if any, a possible
division of the county would have on the ac-
ceptance Of the proposition, as offered by the
Railroad Company. In this connection we
| give place to a recent deC ision of the Supreme
Court of the United States upon this yerv
| question of Indebtedness of counties, frem
which, it viii be seen that we have great
cause TO rejoice over the defeat of the propo-
sition, and that We ought to be truly thank
| ful for our safe deliyerance. Here is an out
| line of the decision:
The U. $. supreme court to-day decided that the
present county OF Laramie, Wyoming Territory is
responsible for the payment of the entire debt CON
tracted by 1t previous TO the segregation from it of
the other two counties. Ihis case has excited much
interest for the that it understood to I-
vcive the same question that Is in controversy
between the States OF Virginia and West Virginia AS
TO the liability of the former constituted for
the debts incurred by the old State when II comprised
! the whole of the territory that was subsequently
| divided between them.
