In Memory Of Samuel LawtOn, Deceased

A man beloved for his superior worth,
Was lately called to leave these scenes OF
earth;
The summons came, the parting words were
said,
And shortly he was numbered with the dead.
His active earnest, useful life is DER,
His open, cheerful face we see no more;
His body rests beneath the mountain sod,
His ransomed spirit has returned to God.
The heart grows sad, the tears unbidden fall,
As we pleasant, social hours recall
Spent in his company, with other friends,
Sharing the blessings which "Our Father
sends.
But wherefore should we mourns Since he is
gone
To join the company Before the throne"-
The family oil God, in heaven above,
Who dwell in perfect peace and Joy, and love,
His hope was not in works that he had done.
Though he for generous acts much praise had
won;
Trusting in Christ. he knew his sins forgiven,
And passed through death triumphantly to
heaven.
And he perfect legacy has left
To those who of his care are now bereft;
Not boarded pelf, which often leads t. shame,
But the enduring wealth of "a good name"

Mr.. Geo. Brimbel, while at work
last Wednesday on his steam saw
mill, near this place, met with an
accident which was only providential
that it did not result in his death.
Being at work at some of the ma
chinery when in rapid motion, the
sleeve of his shirt was caught between
the large belt and fly wheel, which
soon drew his arm in, raising him
completely off the ground, and throw
ing him distance of about twelve
feet. The hands on the mill ran al
once to his aid, and at first sight gave
him up for dead, but in aFshort time
he revived, being only stunned by
the fall which he received. The flesh
on his arm and hand was terribly
lacerated, being almost completely
stripped to the bone. He also receiv-
ed a severe bruise about the head. II
will be several weeks before he will
be able to resume work.

Ben Butler Explains How He Came 10
Pardon the Wrong Man, and Incidental

BesToN, Dec. 29.-General Butler has writ
ten letter to explain the substitution of the
name of Shckney for Pond, in the recent com
munication to the council, declining to pardon
Hathaway. The governor says the reason the
mistake did not strike his attention, was, he
never considered Stickney was perdoned at ALL
He RENTED to him thirty days snly. which he
thought he had earned by good conduct The
governor adds 1 admit the mistake and
it was lapse of memory. I have
only one palliation to offer for it. There have
been SO many Republican senators who were
treasurers of mills and otherwise prominent,
convicts in the state prison, or who would have
been there if caught, that ! get them a little
mixei sometimes when think about them, I
cannot always distinguish special incidents Of
controlling proprietor of the Post, from that of
Pond, the friend of the Worcester Spy, or Stick
ney, who was convicted, from the treasurer
who ran away to Canada, who was not. Nor
does it aid mea any when l attempt to distin-
guish the one as Sabbath school teacher and
the other as preacher, as do not always know
which was which, but know the one was one
and the other the other. If you will inform the
public of the difficulties under which labor
when am dealing with couyicts of this high
grade for whom pardons ara very much soguht
for by many very respectable men, you will at
least give them an opportunity to sympathize
with me.
