lous, that they might have burdens
laid upon them, if that was necessary
for their souls salvation.
But what shall say Of the singing ?
To simply say it was congregational
singing, with an audience of 25OO,
would give no adequate idea of the
soul inspiring effect of those grand
old hymns. Mr.. Beecher not only
knows what he wants in that line, but
he knows how to be successful in at
tanning it. There is a choir of 60 OIL
20, and leader is paid S25 Sabbath
for standing with his back to the or
ganist and making arms and head go,
that perfect time may be assured.
The first hymn called good, though
it did not particularly impress me.
but it was very evident that Mr..
Beecher was far from satisfied. When
all were seated he quietly rose, opened
his hymn book with the remark THAT
won't answer at all now turn TO
1850 and see if you can't sing it
right. No. verses omitted,-I think
there were five. That hymn was sung.
[ have heard artistic singing by high
salaried choirs in the last two months,
but nothing like this, and Mr.. Beech
er was satisfied.
The sermon was upon the higher
life,-''Every deep soul has within
itself threshold over which no foot
may tread, and the most sacred feel
ings are those that are never exhibit
ed, not even to the choicest and dear
est. Some men are so bound up in
the practically of the lower life that
they don't believe in higher life. 1t
is poetic-as if poetry itself was not
the higher form of truth"
Mr.. Beecher's favorite posture was
standing one side of his desk with
his left hand in his pants pocket and
his right hand left free to gesture.
His sermon was quite free from low
illusions, but nevertheless it was
Beechery. = Z,
/ close with three comforts for the
ministers Of Lamoille county who
nav read this article. First comfort,
MIR. Beecher's hymns, scripture
reading and prayer had no connec-
ton with the thought Of the sermon.
Second comfort,-I saw several per-
sons quietly sleeping during Mr..
Beecber's sermon. Third comfort
Mr.. Beecher preached ffty-fve min
utes, and evidently it was not an I'M
usual occurrence. He closed with
prayer and hymn, with no verses
omitted. Z. ]. B.

Bristol Bits Assault on the late

fudge Poland. before whom Bill was tried, re
iates the particulars in the CALIFORNIAN.
Bristol Bill was tried at the june
term, 1850, of Caledonian county
court, and a man by the name OIL
Meadows was Jointly tried with him.
Mr.. Davis was then States Attorne,
of the county, and conducted the
prosecution. The defence was man.
aged by two lawyers from Boston,
and the trial was vigorous and holly
contested one. The jury brought in
verdict of guilty against both the de-
PENDANTS. / had removed from La
noble county to st. Johnsbury only
the month before, and when the jury
trials were concluded the court took a
recess for few days to enable me to
return to Lamoille county on some i'm
perative business. When the court
reassembled after the recess Bristol
Bill and Meadows were brought into
court for sentence. = Both had letters
on their ankles, HUT tAea hands were
free. After the usual formalities /
pronounced the sentenceiof the court,
which was ten years Imprisonment in
the State prison. While | was writ
ing out the sentence on my docket,
Mr.. Davis stopped down to speak with
Meadows, who was sitting. / heard
3 noise or rustic, and looked up and
saw BY the position, of Bill and Mr..
DAVIS that Bill was recovering from
having given blow to Davis. l sun
posed ne had only struck him Ngith his
hand or fist, but as Mr.. Davis straight
ened himself up he-p his hand up to
ms neck and called out, Pull it out !"
ar. Daniel Coffrin of Groton, who
was then Sheriff or Deputy Sheriff,
ana sitting in the Sheriff's box close
Dy, sprung to Mr.. Davis and pulled
the knife out of his neck. Mr.. Davis
was at0nce carried to the hotel.
vi course everybody in the court
was excited. and there was confusion
Tor moment, but | recollect some of
tne incidents. The late Mr.. Thomas
Bartlett leaned up against the Judges
aesK' and tears were running down his
lace as he said, ''Davis is murdered. -
Inc late j. D. Stoddard very deliber-
ately took off his coat, folded it and
laid 1t on the table, stepped up to
Bill and began a lecture to him on his
wicked act.
After Mr.. Davis had been carried
out and the prisoner secured, L adj
Journed the court. AS l reached the
door to go out, some resident of the
place, (whose name have forgotten)
was there. with gun, which he hac
been home to obtain. l went up a
once to Mr.. Davis's room, expecting
to find him dead or dying; but as
entered the room and he saw me, ht
said, " I'm not dead yet, Judge, anG
you and l will live to punish great
many rascals yet"
Mr. Davis was struck with the
knife on the side of his neck, and i,
passed nearly through his neck, back
OF the spine, and the injury proved not
to be very serious. Had its course
been a little different, so as to have
passed forward of the spine, IL would
no doubt have been fatal. Some six
years after this, Bill was brought uE
from Windsor and tried and convicted
for this assault. ON Mr.. Davis, anC
sentenced for that. -. ~

ABOUT GRANTS BOOK
Annoying Complications ARISING
from the Delay in the Pubiica-
ton.

N. Y. Star.
There Is some trouble between the puD-
fishers of Grants book and their agents.
In one case large agency has been
thrown up. The delay in the publlca-
ton of the book has brought about some
serious complications, which may con-
siderably reduce the sum which it was
expected the estate would derive from
the work. The first volume is to be out
in December and the second in March
following. The delay is long one, and
it would be very difficult to sustain pub
lie interest in any book for that time.
But it is the more difficult to do so in the
case of Grants, since there have been
numerous cheap publications assuming
to tell the story of his life issued since
his death by houses which deal in sub
scription books only. These have glut-
ted the market
Another important factor has been the
price of the Grant book to agents. As
usual thing the general agents of sub
scription book get discount of from u
to 20 por cent, generally the latter
They in turn give individual agent
about 35 per cent. In the case of tn
Grant memoirs the general agents re
cpivc 40 per cent, and only % per cent
is allowed individual agents. The differ
ence is sufficiently large to prevent an,
active bidding by agents and this, com
bined with the delay, has made the sal
drag.
The publication Of Grants paper o.
Vicksburg in the October Century is ais
regarded as unfortunate in connectio
with this. 1t reads like the work of
very sick and very tired man, and ha
created the impression that memoirs WI
be equally acrid. The first pages of til
book held out hope to the contrary
but when the circumstances under whic
the work was written are remembered
there is much cause for fear that diseas
had drawn the strength from the natul
ally terse and vigorous style of the fl
nous soldier.
