Five children were born to them. of whom two, James the eldest and Jane the youngest, survive. Almost 19years ago he removed his residence to. Shelby Centre, Orleans county, where several of the former residents of Chatham still reside. These last years were years of quiet and rest, his only occupation be- ing to care for his home. Thence his wife was brought to rest "w1th her father" and Saturday he was put to rest by her side at the ripe age of 93. He, together with his wife and daughter, was received into the Reformed church at Chatham, November 8, 1860, under the ministry of Rev MT Mead. He honored his religious profession day by day. His last illness continued during peri cd of 16 months. It was not disease but old age that carried him to the grave. He fell beneath the burden of years. To the very end he had full possession of his faculties. For full half century he had been a resident of Chatham and vicinity and actively engaged in busi- ness, always an honest and honorable man with kind, large heart for his fellow men and much love for the home and family" B.

SALIODURY.

I suppose the readers of THE NEWS who are scattered far and near over this wide land will want reminder occa- sionally that there is such place in the northwestern corner of the "Nutmeg state' as Salisbury, and will be glad to hear of tho welfare of it's people and what they are about. who are gathering in the ice, and most everybody nowadays has an ice house, so most everybody is busy. The ice never was better, being about II inches thick and clear as crystal.
 If the men have all been very busy, the ladies have been more so, for the ladies sewing society have made up lots and lots of nice, warm, comfortable things, and last Wednesday packed two big barrels full and gent to Dakota, and they were full too, for small girl had to get right up on them and pack them down in order to get the heads in the barrels. I tell you the Salisbury ladies know how to do up such jobs, the way they should be done, a fur overcoat, s new suit of clothes throughout, nice, new warm underclothing, fur gloves, new boots, etc. If ever I am '.mis. sionary man," I'll let the Salisbury ladies know where am located.
 The sleighing is fine and the sleigh bells have jingled merrily since the snow fell.
 There are several cases of scarlet fever in town, but think there have nc deaths occurred from it yet.

CORN WALL.

The ice harvest is nearly over: most of the ice houses in this section are filled with clear blue ice II inches thick.

 There is no class in community who more enjoy the "glories of the possible" than the foxhunters. When arranging for hunt you will hear them talk thus: "You stand by the end of that old wall and we will put another man in the old road, and will stand by that b1g rock and we will be sure to get shot at him." but alas for human hopes, the fox don't come that way at all, and after waiting for hours and not hearing dog they return home, often finding that the 'purp' done the wisest thing under the circum- stances and is quietly sleeping beside the kitchen stove. When they gather at the store that evening they will hear reports from distant parts of the town of the dog and fox running so close to- gether that you could not tell "which was which" and say the next time we will be there, but its the same old story the fox went some where-else. It is thought that when the Panama canal is completed it will be of great benefit to the fox hunters of North America, but when fox can run all over North and South America it is little uncertain as to whether a man can stand within 10 rods of where he will run.
 A Baltimore oriole was caught on Wednesday the 14th inst, by MT Fred erick Kellogg. It had been often seen during the winter and was quite lively until it succumbed the late severe wealth CT. It was stuffed and mounted by Henry Johnson, pupil at the Housa- tonic Valley institute.
