 William E. Cutting our respected and es- teemed townsman, died Sunday morning at half-past five o'clock, after an illness of about ten days. MT. Cutting was taken sick in Newark N. J., where he was visiting sis ter. Being anxious to get home, he started, although in a very unfit condition and ar- rived here on Monday evening thoroughly fa- tigued and prostrated. From that time he sank rapidly, and expired as stated above. His disease was typhoid pneumonia, one lung being entirely closed up. MT. Cutting has re. sided in Salisbury for the last 8 or 10 years, and in that time has built up good business, and by his uniform straightfordwardness in all his dealings has won the respect and es teem of all his fellow townsmen, and was for 8 man of his years, as much beloved as any citizen of Salisbury. What Dr. Knights death was to Lakeville, MT. Cuttings is to this place, he being ever ready to do his part in every good work and enterprise. The funeral took place at the Cong. church at 2 o'clock yesterday.
 MT. k. B. Bartram, who has been with G. H. Clark for some time, is to leave town about the lst of April MT. Bartram has been in this place for years, four years with c. H. Glenns, and three with G. H. Clark, and his many friends will regret his departure. It is reported that MT. Hornbeck, who is at present with MT. Glenns, is to take the posi- tion left by Mir. Bartram.
 The Barnard House and other property, which was to have been sold to satisfy claims held against it by the Salisbury savings bank, was all bid In for the bank.
 We had an instance of the remarkable workings of Providence last Monday. As D. H,,I lu.,, from Falls Village to this place, the horse stepped through a sluice, throwing MT. War ner out of the wagon, striking on his head in the ditch. His life was saved in the most mil raculous manner by Mir. Williams, who, with his ordinary agility, jumped from the wagon and caught the reins and saved MT. War ner's ife-simply by not falling on him as might have been expected.
 In reply to brother or sister Delectus, which ever it may be, would say that the plan of jorning the forces of Salisbury and Lakeville in the presentation of Pinafore, is most cer- tainly an excellent onc and one which I am certain would meet the appreciation ofall our people. This is step in the right direction. There is no reason why the feeling heretofore existing between these two villages should not be dropped. I certainly do not lay all the blame on either side, and do say that I D01LGV0 160l1uSo HI OOku NlAdSSS dI0 more of suspicion than of actual enmity. By dropping this, and joining, and heartily CO., operating, the villages can form company to better advantage than either can do alone. Don't you think so, brother or sister Delec. tus? QUIs.
