The sad death of Rev. Edwin S. Locke
of the Vermont conference, which occurred
at Irasburg on Sunday last, is unexpected
in its sudden reality. At the last confer
ence Bro. Locke was appointed to Fast
Burke, but experimenting the work on that
charge was beyond his strength, impaired
by prostration of his physical system, he
effected an exchange of appointments
with Bro. Scribner, under the approval OF
his presiding elder, and went to Albany.
During last fall he was compelled, on
account of insufficient strength to ask
release from his work and removed to his
farm in Irasburgh. Some twelve days
previous to his death he was completely
FRUSTRATED with severe attack of pneu-
monia, and the sad elimination of his
sickness came to his home on the morning
of the Sabbath. Bro. Locke was well
known as a young man of talent and
promise of great usefulness. We have no
extended data of his history, but find by
the Vermont conference minutes that he
was born at Irasburrg on February %
1849, and that he entered the ministry and
Joined the Vermont conference in 1874.
We hope TO receive an obituary sketch of
his life for publication.

The western floods are subs iding but
many lives have been lost and millions of
property destroyed. In New Albany,
Ind, 1900 houses were swept away and
5000 people made homeless. Cincinnati
has been for many nights in darkness,
her gas works having been injured by the
food. And all through the main river
valleys the story of ruin holds true.
Gov. Butler is having a very fine time
in the old Bay stale. He has not only got
his council to consent TO Warden Earles'
removal and the appointment of Col.
Usher in his place but he has procured
the resignation of Mr.. Clarke, the long
time insurance commissioner And the
governor has submitted a very good name
10 his council as successor to Mr.. Clarke.
More designations are said to be on the
governors programme and he doesn t
really seem to need the passage of his
power of suspension bill which some of
the Massachusetts papers criticise as
unconstitutional. So far Gov. Butler
appears to have done pretty we'll in the
governorship business both for himself
and the state. And the pow-wow some of
the Massachusetts papers make over some
of his notions and acts hardly seems
warranted. And bis council which comes
in for share of condemnation is verv
likely to know what it is about full as
well as its critics

A Boy FROZEN TO DEATu.-We learn
from the Free Press the following partic-
ulars of sad casulty: A thirteen wears
old boy. Willie Hatha way. of Burlington,
started last Friday morning to carry
breakfast to his father, Timothy Hathaway
at j. r. Booths lumber yard. The day
being warm one he had left home tbinIv
clad, without an overcoat or scarf, wearing
cotton stockings, and his hands nro,octod
by mittens. After leaving his father he
went out on the lake with his sled, and
was last seen by some boys, outside the
breakwater chasing his hat which had
blown away. A strong south wind was
blowing, but if his disappearance had boon
due entirely to this it would seem, accord.
ing to the opinion of men familiar with tho
lake and tho circumstances, that if would
have blown him into Appletrec noint,
whence, of course he could have made
his way home by land. The wind at 7,15
O'Clock that morning was blowing Is miles
an hour, but increasing until at Ills it
was blowing % miles an hour, and at
night the rate had reached 81 miles an
hour. Having gone beyond the SAVING
point and finding that 1t was 100 late to
return. it is probable that the lad then
determined, il the plan had not been
previously conceived, to keep ON before
the wind and visit his aunt who lives nt
Pittsburgh. Mr. Frank Austin, driver of
the Burlington and Pluttsburgh STAGE,
testiiies that the strongest man could hard
ly have faced the wind at times durino
the day. The boy, thus started, seems to
have been blown TO within a few miles of
Plattsburgh, for he was found Saturday
morning by mau out ice noatlng. off
Stave island. only three miles from
Plattsburgh.
lie was lying face downward on the ice
frozen stiff. His sled was missing an his
bat was afterward found at one If The
Plattsburgh breakwater 1t was indeed
from his position that, tired and chilled he
had lain down to sleep. The ice boat
toook the body TO Plattsburgh but his iden.
tlty was OF course unknown. Meanwhile
the lad father telegraphed to Shelburne.

relatives in Pittsburgh, who at once
went to view the body and telegraphcd
back that willie is here dead.n The
boys father went over the lake and
brought the body home.

THE Wool MARKET,--The Boston
Herald says of the wool market: The
wool market is active and excited, for
some weeks past it has been talked that
there was a scarcity of fine woods; that
very little fine wool from foreign markets
was being imported, and that the result
would be an active trade and higher
prices before the new wool from the
coming clip would be in the market Not
many dealers expected an improved turn
in the market quite SO soon, but Il couple
of weeks ago some of the dealers began
looking about for certain lines of fine
wool for which they had customers. and
Eal at once it dawned upon their minds
that such woods we're not in the market.
Their opinion soon got noised abroad and
manutac, urers took up the inquiry with
such results as will appear in the account
of the market below. The sales of wool
for the week have been 4,849, 400 pounds
of domestic and $40, 600 pounds foreign.
total of $3.50, 400 pounds. These are the
largest sales since the wool boom in
September, 1881, at which time-for the
week ending September 1.-THE sales
were over 100000 pounds. For the
week ending December % of the same
year the sales on this market amounted
to a tri1e over 100000 pounds. aud
again the next week the amount sold was
over 3,60OO,000 pounds. Last week the
sale amounted to 3,4S2.000 pounds. and
for the week ending February 10. 1882,
the sales were 3,462 800 pounds domestic
and $4,000 pounds foreign, total of
4,42l, 800 pounds. The total amount of
wool sold on the market since the year
began is now lS,447 400 pounds. For the
week the receipts of wool have been
1926 bales domestic and $50 bales
foreign, n total of 5,476 bales, against
6,627 bales domestic, and SO bales toreign
-6,716 bales for the same week last year.
The sales of foreign wool include
a lot of Australian, 100000 pounds at A.
TO AZ cents, which would indicate very

Wednesday toward the inundation fund.
Further sums will be voted if required.
In spite of the pacific declarations
lately made in the nameVf the govern
ment, the authorities are paying special
attentions to what is going on in military
matters in Russia. This is considered to
be Enthusiastically indicated by the fact that
two officers of the grand general staff
have just been ordered to Kongsberg and
Thorn respectively. Up to the present
time no such appointments have been
made anywhere except at Metz and
Strasburg. On the other hand, there is
no foundation for the report of an intended
increase in tho German artillery. No
addition is contemplated to that arm of
the service at any rate at present. The
War Minister General Won Kamske.
expressly declared on Wednesday, before
budget commission of the Reichtag, that
The present strength of the German
artillery is in perfect proportion to the
other branches of the German army.
Confidential reports have, it is said,
been received from many quarters repre-
senting a European war as inevitable.
Sovereigns and statesmen and their
organs in the press, all assure us that
peace is secure. But all these utterances
are addressed to the public, and, of course,
are made with view to produce certain
effects. The war reports have not been
intended to meet the public ear or eye
but have been made solely with a view
to informing the government as TO the
real nature of the situation.
The death of Prince Charles Of Prussia,
who is the brother of the German
emperor has compelled the abandonment
of the festivities planned to celebrate the
silver wedding of the Crown Prince and
Princess. The Prince of Wales, who was
to have been present, will, consequently.
not 60 to Berlin.
The Crown Princess, with a thought
fitness that does her credit, has requested
that no costly presents may be sent on
account of her silver wedding, but that
all such gifts may be devoted to relieve
the sufferers from the recent terrible
floods in Germany. AUGUST.
