SAYRROOK.

Eds. Tl.-There was quite an interest
ing meeting of the Woman's Temperance
League, in Conneaut on the afternoon and
evening of March 7th. The meeting was
held in the NJ. E church, Mrs. Streeter, of
Saybrook, presiding. The number of del
egates were small, owing in part to the
state of the roads, but the reports from
some places were very encouraging. Say
brook was well represented, and the cause
in this town is prospering. A large and
interesting Young Peoples Temperance
Union are keeping the subject before the
people by their monthly meetings, and
while enlisting the young in the work, we
trust, are helping to establish temperance
principles. But the most encouraging re-
port was given by Mrs. Eames, of Ashta-
bula. The temperance meetings commence
ed there by the Murphy workers of Pitts
burgh, had been attended with great sue

H. & H.

Eds. Tel.-our community was startled
on Thursday morning last by the announce
ment of the death of Mr.. Horace Luce. He
arose as usual, and said his nights rest
had been unusually good, and proceeded to
the discharge of his accustomed duties. A
groan brought his daughter to him, to find
that he was suffering from an attack of
heart disease, which terminated in death
in about an hour. He was an old and es-
teemed citizen. Every spring election for
the last 10 or 10 years has witnessed his re-
election as township assessor-an office he
filled to entire satisfaction. Under the firm
name of Luce & Eastman, he carried on
the dry goods trade in the store now Occur
pied by j. W. Bull, some 35 years ago; he
was also associated with J. P. Eastman in
the stock and drover business. The COM
panion Of his youth was buried less than
three weeks ago. His funeral took place
from the Baptist church on Sunday last,
and his neighbors in large numbers attend
ed TO pay their last tribute of respect to
one they so much loved and esteemed. His
age was 7S.
On Thursday last, Rev. Samuel Cole
recently settled among us-took to his bed
and died on Thursday night. His funeral
took place from the Presbyterian church,
on Saturday-17th inst. The high esteem
in which he was held as a man and Chris
tain was feelingly shown by the various
clergymen who were present and spoke OF
his virtues But nine weeks before, on the
same day of the week and hour of the day,
the funeral of Mrs Cole was attended at
the same place. Although their stay among
us was brief, they had endeared themselves
to this people.

The verdict.

The verdict eff the Jury of Inquest has
been subject to a somewhat labored review
by one of our citizens, and after appearing
in the Leader, was handed in for a place
in the TELEGRAPH As it seems, in the
main, to have been written with an honest
purpose. there was no good reason for re-
pressing it. 1t may, therefore, be found on
the first page. The point that seems to
have been the least happily taken in de-
fence of the failure to use water for extin-
gushing the flames of the burning wreck,
is that " Protection" machine could not be
taken down the bank, and, therefore, being
much the lighter of the two hand machines,
it was conclusive that e Lake Erie could
not be gotten down to the fiat, where IT
could be made efficient in quenching
the flames. The first position, we
think was not made apparent in any
portion of the testimony, and the last,
therefore, is begging of the question. Our
recollection of the evidence on this point is
that Protection" was taken some halfway
down the hill and there stopped by order
of the chief-not, so far as the evidence
goes-because of the impossibility of get
ting it to the fat, but because it was
against orders. Our recollection is that
some one of the ompany-George Brake,
we believe-made amovement towards con-
tinuing- the descent, and placing it on the
creek margin, but The effort was met with
information that it could not be done, as
the order of the chief forbade it.
