HENRY BALDWIN IN HIS YOUTHFUL DAYS,
 Those who knew this individual only at the period when he had reached mid de age can hardly judge ofhis character when he was. Q young man, and 1t was then only that the writer saw much of him. His short stature tended to make him an associate of boys much younger than himself; indeed, he preferred their society to those of his own age, and so far did he retain this preference that when these associates were old enough to leave their paternal flresides for the great struggle for life in the wide world, he would fraternize with and make cpmpan- ions of the next younger ones, when there Is no saying correctly how many successive generations could boast of intimacy with him,
 His cast of features will be remembered us strongly marked which with his short figure and dragging, listless gait, gave him the appearance of an old man while he was yet in fact quite young one and this characteristic, doubtless, increased with the weight of gathering years when had ceased to see him.
 The WI ter. at the period referred to, often joined him In his rambles about the street and its suburbs, where trifing amusements never failed to interest him, and he always found him to be peaceful and ulaswerving friend. It was the vi,e custom in those days to use profane Ian rusge on the most triding occasions. and.

ONE MORE AT THE RUBBER

Shortly after commencing work at the Rubber factory on Wednesday morning. William Kilbride, 0 la1 of about 16 years. while attending the hoisting of some stock from one floor to another, got the fingers of the left hand caught be- tween tho rope of the elevator and the pulley. When he found he was caught he gave yell and jerked his hand away, leaving tho first joints of his third and fourth fingers attached to the pulley. The boy was immediately taken to the office of Dr. W. c. Vile, who found it necessary to amputate one of the fingers at the second joint, as the bone was en- tirely without covering. These accidents should serve as u warning to the men to be more careful.

indeed, so general was the habit that but
 few people were at all times entirely
 exempt from it. In this respect however
 Henry had hardly any superior, for when
 driving the cows home from pasture, fol
 instance if the poor creatures turned in
 the wrong direction, he would utter the biggist oaths and more of them than any
 man or boy in the town could; and that
 is saying great deal. All of this, how ever, he outgrew and no doubt in after years reflected upon the folly of it.
 ] Legerdemain tricks or slight-of-hand
 performances had an unfailing interest with him and it was rare that he could 1 not pull out of his pockets some puzzle with wnich he could baf1le the skill of the most ingenious person in his attempt to decipher 1t. He was fond of public meet I ings, whether of political character or otherwise; anything of this kind that brought the people to- ether pleased him
 militia trainings circuses, shows and horse racing were his delight. No new building could be erected within miles of the Centre that did not attract him. He could climb with the agility ofa monkey, hence his aid on these occasions was of | inestimable value to the contractor. I | remember one instance in which, by missing his hold, he fell through two stories upon pile of stone and brick in the cellar without injury, a fall which it was said would have killed any boy but himself His father (Uncle Cale) ] happened to be present, and rushing down to him gave vent, in nomild terms, ut his earelessness and then sent him ''hum," to his great sorrow after all his expectations of seeing the completion of l the already well advanced skeleton of the new structure. Henry was likewise fond of music, from the ringing of the 1 church bell to the fife and drum. He was fortunate enough to become the owner of the latter instrument, the pos session of which made every youngster in the village envy him. He kept it carefully stored away in the old farm house which stood in the rear of his fathers dwelling, and here he passed many Of his leisure hours in practise, whistling hIs tunes for the lack of other accompaniment, Professor Blakeslee, with h,s fife, not having then come upon the scene. He had also a growing passion for firearms, perhaps because they were to some extent connected with martial music now so familiar to his ear, for he once wrote to the writer to procure for him in New Haven pair of horse pistols, but upon application at the gun shops there, the price was found to be too ex- orbitant to admit of the purchase. One of Colts revolvers at this time would have been treasure that he would have valued at any cost.
 Of his latter years the writer does not feel qualified to speak, as many of your readers are more familiar with them. Henry became, however, before he had reached his meridian, a staunch Metho- dist and adhered consistently to that faith until the end of his upright and blameless life. c.

Last Friday the N Y. Betting and Packing Company. of Sandy Hook shipped an i'm mense belt, weighing about three and half tons and measuring four feet ill width. Mir. D. c. Gately notified the Seectmen and warned them to make the bridge, over which it had to be taken to the depot, secure. Selectman Sanford accordingly placed support under the bridge and the necessity for such action was fully manifested for those who believed the structure perfectly strong enough for the occasion without additional propping were con- vinced that had not such action been taken the weight of the belt would have destroyed the bridge. The belt is the largest ill the country.
