which many of our readers participate in
from sabbath to sabbath. The paper we
give on the lessons is prepared by an ex-
perienced teacher, and, we trust, will
be of much use to Sunday School schol-
airs and teachers, and of interest to all
readers.
The village schools closed the fall
term on Monday and Tuesday. with
examinations and rhetorical exercises.
The examinations showed very good
progress in each school. and the closing
exercises reflected credit on the teachers
and scholars. The winter term will COM
mence on Tuesday of next week, and
promises to be unusually full in the
Academic Department.
The family of Richard Devereaux is
being severely afflicted with typhoid
fever. Horatio, the oldest son. was
first taken down with it some two
months ago, and has sufficiently recov-
cred to be able to be out of doors.
William. another son is very sick as
is smaller boy. Mrs. Devereaux and
Mary are also sick, and are liable
to have a severe run of the disease.
The fever has been very hard, and has
run unusually long in each case.
Hayden, the wife murderer, with the
aid of Carrigan. the reporter for the
Boston Journal made long statement
last week, which he claims to be cor
rect history of the felicities and intellect
ties of the married life of the un-
happy pair, and an account of the
murder The statement is got out,
no doubt, for the purpose of arousing a
sentiment in Hayden's favor, so that at
the time of the next meeting of the leg
islature he may stand chance to have
his death sentence committed to life i'm
prisonment. This man Carrigan is get
ting famous. He has saved Phair' 8
neck from the gallows, for the present,
and is industriously at work to save
Hayden. We happened to hear the trial
of Hayden, and if ever there was a cruel
cold-blooded, premeditated, atrocious
murder it was in the killing of Gertrude
Hayden. If hanging can be deserved
next to LaPage, Hayden deserves it. in
our opinion.
