'sBily'' Virgins, held large amount Of the
notes of that bank which. for practical pur-
poses being entirely worthless he was SO para
iyzed that he moped about in a condition OF
dependency for three days. when he was APP
preached by a certain Frenchman, whose name
has now escaped my memory, and who was
noted as a long distance rough rider, anal whe
offered for a consideration to take the notes,
and with a horse that he knew he could procure,
well known for his power of endurance as
traveller. proceed across the country to Louis

The offer being accepted he took the horse ana
rode him seventy miles q day, until he became
exhausted, when he exchanged him for another
and by repeated relays reached his destination
and got the notes changed four hours before
the arrival Of the news brought by a steamboat
which had left St Louis on the day OF the faii~

by the Secretary OF War to write history OF
the eolored regiments Of the Army, was recon-
mended for that work by Bishop p. W. Arnett'
Of the African Methodist Episcopal Church The
colored people OF the country are very PROUD OF
the part that the people of their race took IN
the Civil War and in the late war with Spaln'
and feel that Chaplain Steward could give
more adequate account Of negro vaior In Inc
Army than any one else.
Chaplain Steward is a native OF Brdgetoh' ~

from John Fenwck one Of the Lords Proprie-
tors who settled at Salem, to which he gave us
name in 1865. The chaplain was educated at
divinity school in Philadelphia. Besides being
good Greek Latin and Hebrew scholar he also
speaks German and French fuentiy. and was
at one time stationed over church in Port-au-
Prince, Hayt where he preached in French "A
Charleston Love Story" a work of fiction from
his pen, is now in press. Two OF his sons are
Harvard men, being lieutenant In one or
the volunteer regiments; another is in the UNI
versity of Michigan from which he will be grad
uated in medicine this spring.

Northfield,

Elkanah X. Smith died at his home
in Northtield, Thursday, after brief
Illness preceded by a few weeks of not
feeling in quite his usual health. He
was born in Brookheld July "a, 1919,
lived in Wisconsin until about 1867,
then moved to Waterbury, and in 1869
to Mortified, where he bought the
Caldwell tannery and conducted the
business for time. He leaves a
widow, one son Marshall d., of North
field, two brothers Asa and James, OF
Monticello, Wis, and one sister Mrs.
Jane Whtcomb, of Fair Haven. The
| funeral will occur from the residence
at 1870 Saturday forenoon, and burial
will be at the Center. Mr.. Smith was
a much respected man in his home
town, and the news of his death was
received with regret. He had an eX-
tensive acquaintance through Wash
ington and adjoining counties.
In place of the vacations as sched-
uled in the University calendar, a
movement is on foot to change them
whereby a four weeks vacation will
enSue between the fall and winter
terms, and none between the winter
and spring terms. The matter APP
peals especially to those living without
the state who are attending the uni
versity, and very likely the proposed
change will be made.
Mrs. II. r.. Roberts is quite serious

of the Windsor Journal as follows:

Admiral Dewey is national hero.
He is also an American citizen. If he
