The writer of an anonymous letter ad-
dressed "to the Ediator of the Wellington
paper" evidently had something to tell us
in the way of news that would have been
read but he should have signed his name as
guarantee OF his reliability, instead of ex-
pectIng us to be responsible for his grave
insinuations against another TO whom he
would not like to say the same things face
to face. We are not an iron-clad or forti-
fcaiion in which everybody can hide
themselves while fighting their private
battles. s1t-
The remains of Charles Norman were
brought from the Newburg Asylum on
Thursday last and the funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Mr.. Donaldson,
Pastor of the NJ. E. Church of Pittsfield,
assisted by Elder Ira Whitney at the resi-
dence of the parents in Pittsfield, Friday
last. A large concourse of people were in
attendance TO extend sympathy to the af
ficted family Charles has been in the
asylum since year ago last April, He is
about 90 years Of age. He was a young
man of excellent habits and unasuming
demeanor and had many friends, ere this
cloud of insanity dimmed the intellect and
sealed the fair future in obscurity, leading
to the final dissolution of the earthly taber-
nacle. This afflicted family have another
sorrow to bear, their youngest child aged
8 years is like an infant in the cradle, its
weight is nine pounds, and is as helpless as
] anew born baby.

The minstrel troupe which gave an
entertainment at the Greenlaw opera
house last night, made q favorable
impression and the audience, which
numbered about four hun bred people
was quite complimentary, considering
the short notice given, as it was not
decided that the company would per-
form here until yesterday. The troupe
is very clever aud we'll worthy Of
patronage. In their social soiree de
Ethiope they rendered some excellent
songs, choruses and instrumental
selections. The Emmett cuckoo song
Of Mr. }. +. Campbell with quartette
MARBLE by the Electric Q1artette,
proved very delightful and was
beautifully rendered. The same
quartette sang jubilee camp
meeting hymns and gave other vocal
exercises in most charming style.
The burlesque circus was a capital
act and extremely funny. There
we're many terpsichorean features of a
graceful and entertaining
character, and the programme was
equal to anything seen here this
season.
