reside on New Water street, i'll the
vicinity of South Park, have received
a living present. About three o'clock
on Friday morning. Mrs. F. was

door she would learn what was wanted.
She aroused Mr.. F., who went to the
door, and us he opened it, the rustling
of the corn in the garden indicated the
passage of some one through it. On
the doorstep he discovered box,
which, when opened, revealed female
infant. Accompanying it was this
writing "A present to Mr.. and Mrs.
John Farnham." The hospitable peo-

4 Former Pastor Of the South
Church Becomes a Professor
at smith College.

Prof George y. Webber, ID. D., pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church at
Troy, \. Y, has been engaged for the
next collegiate year to fill the place in
Smith college, northampton, Mass,
made vacant by the death of Prof.
Phelps. DIR. WebbeI was the second
pastor of the South church of this
place, which relation he sustained for
several years, and married for his first
wife the only daughter of Sir Thaddeus
Fairbanks. He was also for several
wears professor of Mental and Moral
Philosophy at Middlebury college. 1t
is understood that he has long desired
to exchange his pastoral duties for
other educational work, which led him,
a few months ago, to tender his resig
nation as pastor; but the unanimous
protest of the congregation, and the
strong attachment to him which they
manifested, led him to Withdraw his
resignation. His family will remain
in Troy until next spring, when they
will remove to Northampton. His
eldest daughter is now a student
mt Smith college The Troy Times
says of DIR. Webber: His powers
of mind and warmth of heart, which
have made him Christian philosopher
and preacher with few peers, while as
anil friend la. h...s h.a,,
esteemed, are well known throughout
this city, and the regret at his depart
ure from Troy will extend far beyond
the limits of the First Presbyterian
society. His qualification for his new
position is admirable"

sham Battles That Are Not
Sham.

Sham.
1t would seem as though militiamen
would soon come to the conclusion that
sham battles are dangerous things, and
that sham fighting becomes too much
of reality when arms are blown of
and other injuries result from prema-
ture artillery discharges and other
carclessness. The unfortunate acct
dent at Camp Preston was preceded
10y sham battle at Princeton Junction.
y. y, an account of which was given
in the last CdIedOnidn.
On Thursday afternoon of last week
there was a sham battle at Weirs, \.
H., ut the encampment of the old SOL
diers of the war of the rebellion from
New Hampshire, which represented
the battle of the Seven Pines. About20,-
600 people were present. The Union
forces We're commanded by Gen. j. W.
Patterson, and among the state guards
was the Lancaster company, command
ed by Captain George II. Emerson.
Major q. c. Wyatt commanded the con-
fedcrate forces, among which were de
tachments from the G. a. X. posts of
Lancaster, Whitefield and LittletOn.
Bayonets were used in the charges,
and prisoners on both sides were cap
tured. OF course, the Union side was
victorious. During the encounters
several of the soldiers were seriously
injured, either by bayonets or powder.
a veteran named Ward, from Dover,
had his ring finger almost severed in a
hand to-hand contest with bayonet
Dana Buzzell of Laconia and Frank
Roark of Ashwell were both severely
burned about the face and neck by
powder.
