Friday morning a despatch was re.
ceived from DR.. Draper bringing the sad
news OF the death of Mrs. DR.. Wild. Fol-
a day or two previous her ST ength had
failed rapidly and letter received on
Thursday showed change for the worse
Friends at BrattlebOro write that the
best nursing and medical skill was pro
vided for her. She was much more quiet
after reaching the asylum but, as far as
known, never recovered her reason even
for a short time. Her remains were
taken to Newport for interment. Mrs.
Wild had greatly endeared herself tC
many friends during her short residence
in Manchester, and many hearts mourn
her untimely decease. Much sympathy
is also felt for the two sons so sadly
afflicted.

Young MEMS Christian Association Notes,

The first quarterly meeting of the
Association took place last Monday eve
ming. Brief reports were submitted by
the chairmen of the various committees,
the gist of which we give below. The
chairman of the Religious Work Com
mittee reported the following as the av-
erage attendance for the quarter, at the
young mems meetings ON Sunday after
moons: January, 40; February, co.;
March, n; total average, 80. Average
last year, 40; an increase Of about 25 per
cent. Twenty-one young men have been
spiritually awakened and asked an inter
est in our prayers, and one has already
connected himself with the church.
About 5000 cards of invitation have been
handed out in the shops, mills, stores,
etc, which largely accounts for the
above. The Membership Committee
presented the following for comparison:

Wallace Green,

The family of Mr.. Oliver d. Green OF
South SALISBURY have been sadly and
deeply afflicted by the sudden death of
their beloved son, Wallace. In him
their brightest hopes were conferred, but
these hopes are now changed to men,
cries of what might have been. The
writer was only slightly acquainted with
the young man, but from the testimonies
of his many friends it is apparent that
he was one of the most promising and
steady young men in the community
where he has so long lived, and was held
in great esteem by all who knew him.
In the family circle he will be sadly
missed. Not word could be said of
him but to praise him; he was too good
for earth and this world. This dispen-
sation of Divine Providence falls very
heavily on his father and mother who
were looking forward in their declining
years and feeble health to him as their
comfort and support; as ont to watch
over them. To the brothers and sisters
of the deceased it is also a heavy afflic-
ton to bear; but they can only feel that
his work is done on earth and he is at
rest. The funeral was largely attended
on Friday afternoon last, from the home
of his youth, and the burial took place
at North Bennington cemetery.

IMMIGRANT SOLDIERS.

The recent New Orleans tragedy and the
subsequent action Of the Italian Government
as well as Of the American citizens of Italian
descent and parentage in this country, have
given rise to a number of speculntions and
ideas which, it is hoped, may prove
useful in moulding the future
of the United States. The country
was at first astonished to find that set OF
branded and oath-bound cut-throats and muir
derers, who had made themselves pest to
the community in which they lived, could not
be disposed of by a popular uprising
without exciting the indignation of n
foreign nation. 1t was never dreamed OF
that rioting. disorder and crime could not be
suppressed within the American Republic
without the risk being run of foreign govern
ments makingit an international ofense OF
sufficient importance to result in the breaking
of of diplomatic relations But the Ameri-
can people have been no less surprised at
this than they have been at the
conduct of numbers of their fellow
citizens who have taken out naturali-
cation papers, and who for years have been
living and carrying on their avocations under
the protection of our laws and in the en-
joyment Of the rights and liberties guaran-
teed by our Constitution.
The course of the large majority
of Italo-Americans since the New Or
leans tragedy in denouncing the people of
Louisiana, New Orleans. and the United
States generally, threatening them with the
vengeance of foreign country, is sufficient
TO cause the gravest apprehension. Suppose
that q war with Italy had have resulted,
would these citizens have fought for
or against the land of their adoption and the
flag which so long has protected them
Unless they fought differently from the
way they have talked. they would most as
suredly have been found either openly on the
side Of our enemies or against US as secret
spies
We do not intend TO cast any reflection
upon the great bulk Of American citizens of
foreign birth, for they have always proven
themselves. heretofore. true and devoted,
under all circumstances, 10 their adopted
land, but the recent conduct Of
the Italo-Americans certainly gives US
ground to pause md consider. The Republic
cannot afford to foster and warm into life in
her bosom vipers who will be ready 10 turn
upon and sting her to death in the day Of her
extremity, and this is one very important
point which Congress must carefully think Of
when it has before it the healthy revision OF
our immigration laws.
