letter on the Chinese cheap labor ques-
lion, favors the Chinese taking the places
Of American Workinemen.
HANCOCK favors Peace and Union be.

FIELD advocates "Solid North" and
the "bloody shirt" doctrine, in order
that seciionalism and strife between the
sections may be kept up.

Permit us to bear our attribute of respect and affection to the memory of William B. Brinsmade whose death was mentioned in yeur last issue. Having been associated with him as schoolmate for two or three terms, beloved by all. he won our lifelong conf- dence and esteem. Born with an innate love of music, we recollect his first appearance in singing school under the leadership of that noted teacher Ralph G. Camp. Such was his proficiency that during his first term, the school was given into his hands to conduct for half an hour, and more correct time, or judi cous selection of tunes, we have rarely wit messed in older leaders. The musical public and our choir have lost valued member, and though his voice is hushed on earth, may we not hope that the harp with it's shattered strings will be strung and'tuned anew at the resurrection of the just.
 The funeral was attended at the Congrega- tional church, Wednesday afternoon, a very large audience from this and the neighboring towns were present, also a large delegation from the Connecticut River Railroad Co.,, with whom Mir. Brinsmade was formerly associated, bringing with them their sympathy with the family, and the most beautiful floral offering that were ever seen in thls place. MT. Thrall, assisted by Rev. MT. Mclean, of Litchheld, conducted the funeral services. The grave was lined and strewn with flowers, and he sleeps with those of the Brinsmade family who have gone before. Rest dear friend of our youth, rest! = <~t1-aa,j ssaI
 Our warmest greetings to our young friend Frank Buckingham and his young bride. Alice Kingman, of Bridgeport, who were married May 2lth, and were present at our Sabbath week. May the blessing of the infinite. father rest upon them.
 Mrs. Tabatha Brinsmade, of Birmingham Mrs. s. T. Seeley, of Middlebury; Mir. and Mrs. Geo. w. Judd, of New Haven, are visit ing friends in town. The Town meeting alluded to in your last. accepted of the report of the selectmen in laying out the road commencing at the south end of the turnpike bridge, west of Lyman Clarks, passing $. D. Platt's new dwelling, and terminating at the foot of the hill east of the Moody bridge, to be denominated Platt Street. After long debate, in which the Daniel Webster of New Preston was the chief orator, the contemplated road on the west side of the lake was rejected.
 Say to P. D. that we do not think the Danbury News man is stranger to the var. hints named, for it is our opinion that they came from that way, and certainly they do not begin to compare with his description of those prowling' around and intesting the peaceful village of New Preston. 8.

Rem free with his wife and cue or two children, came to this country from England thirty or forty years since. He was long time in the employ of Henry Terry, Esq, engaged in the woolen mill, and as teainster. Later, farming and teaming occupied his attention; and still later the latter pursuit alone has been his bu- siness. A widow and six sons and daughters survive him.
 On the 2Oth, the pipe organ in St. Peters was tuned by Mir. Aryid Dayton, of Wolcot- vile. This organ was put in new between thirty and forty years ago. and since then has been several times overhauled to greater or less extent.
