I
day afternoon by the Masonic brother
hood, the Sons Of Temperance and q
large ooneouse Of citizens, Rev Mr.
Hicks, Of the Congregational church,
Of which no was member, ofiiclated,
1t was the largest funeral procession
seen here for many years. Stores aud
places Of business were closed during
the services. Mr., Woodward was the
leading wooden manufacturer In this
town for years, aud many e'ti'
zen can rise up aud say, "all that ] am
worth to day, made In the employ OF
Mr.. Woodward" He was public
spirited man and knew no use OF mon
ey but to keep II changing hands, con-
sequently no has made public improve
ments In tho village as enduring as
granite. upon which skilled labor was
constantly employed. We wish that
his spirit Of enterprise could be got
into about half dozen Of our rich
men In tho natural way, or by surgical
operations--it that would answer the
purpose--that Is what tho village and
town needs to-day. II Mr. Wood
ward did not die q millionaire, his
friends have the proud consolation Of
knowing that no died honored aud re-
specled by his fellow citizens, aud
that his body will not DO disturbed by
tho ghouls Of the churehyard. Those
who appreciate true enterprise and the
encouragement of labor, will long |
keep Mr., Woodward's memory green
in their souls. Weep, 20 fir trees, for

Lusus NATURE. John Chedel,
Esq, OF Pomirot, exhibited a curiosi'
ty in our office the other day. 1t was
a, twin pig-or pigs--that Is, a pig
with ono head and two distinct bodies
from the navel down. II had eight |
logs, six Of them in proper places, and
two on top Of shoulders. Also, two
sets of caIs--showiag that nature in
tended it for good listener-one set
in proper place, and the other, smaller
and closer together, located on the
back side Of the head. The mother
Of this monstrosity, which came dead,
gave birth to eleven other healthy pigs
at the same time. The SOW is owned
by Charles Hutchinson, Esq, also Of
Pomtret.

Josiah Josselyn, Esq, handed us
the first number of The State
Guard, weekly eight-page paper
Just started at Austin, Texas, by his
brother, Robert, Josselyn, Esq. 1t is
well filled, we'll printed, and it is su-
perfuous to say that it is well edited,
when it is known that son of Ver-
mont, and one of her most gifted
poets, fills the editorial chair. Mr..
Josselyn is sound on the money ques-
tion--no "Greenbax" in his.
