Newport Family Nearly EIectrOcut-

Saturday night Will HI. Wyman
was working in his cellar where he
has a room fitted up for work, and
desiring light in another part of the
room, was in the act of removing the
light bulb from one socket when he
received a shock that threw him
backwards, his head striking a wa
ter faucet near the steam boiler,
breaking off the faucet and allowing
the water to run over him. Two small
sons rushed up the stairs to give an
alarm, and as Mrs. Wyman reached
his side she also was thrown to the
cement floor, whereupon the 12-year-
old daughter rushed out and called
assistance. The first to respond was
Will Watts, who assisted both Mr..
and Mrs. Wyman upstairs, though
neither have any recollection of hap
penings for two hours or more. DR..
Blanchard was called, and dressed
electric burns on Mrs. Wyman's right
hand, quite severe, and on one foot.
Mr.. Wynan had cut on the head
and an electric burn on one foot. AS
yet, electricians have been unable to
locate the cause of the short circuit.
That the result was not more seri-
Gus seems almost miracle.

Flag-Raising Here Sc Years Ago.

A flag-raising here at the outbreak
of the Civil war corresponds IN so
many respects with the recent similar
event that the Monitor copies from
the Orleans Independent Standard of
Nav II. 1861, a verbatim story of the
event. Tt will be noted that the rails
ing was on May 6, while the raising
this year was on May 8.
"Newport, May 6, 1861.
"At preliminary meeting of the
Union Club of Newport, it was de-
cided to procure and present to the
town of Newport a national flag, as
an expression of continued and unal-
terable devotion of all to the interests
of our country without regard to par
ty feelings or divisions.
"The following gentlemen were
chosen officers of the day: President,
Charles Robinson, ESQ.,; vice presi-
dents, O. Robinson and Simon Pend
er; secretaries, A. D. Bates and G. /.
Vail; treasurer, DIR. j. G. Rutherford;
committee of arrangements, j. G..
Rutherford, E. o. Coburn and Chas.
r. Clough; marshals, j. G. Ruther-
ford, Charles Warren and L. Buck.
"Today at 2 p. M, a large number
of ladies and gentlemen from this and
flagstaff to participate in the exer-
cises of the day, and among them
quite a number of our brave volun-
teers, who have so nobly offered
themselves at this time of peril to our
liberties. An impressive and feeling
prayer was offered by Rev. Pliny HI.
White of Coventry. The flag was
then presented to the town of New
port by Charles Robinson, Esq, in a
neat and appropriate speech in be-
half of the club, and was accepted by
Luther Baker, representative of the
town, pledging in an eloquent reply
the loyalty of the town to the flag of
our country, and it's faithful defence
by her citizens on all occasions when
assailed.
During the presentation the flag
was run to the top of the staff and
unfurled to the breeze amid the boom
ing of cannon and enthusiastic cheers.
Eloquent and patriotic speeches were
made by Rev. PIiny III. White, Hon. A.
j. Rowell of Troy, Hon. Portus Bax-
ter, B. Fl. Steele, Esq, and DR.. w. w.
Jenness of Derby Line. In the eve
ming the exercises were closed with a
splendid display of fireworks. The
utmost unanimity and harmony of
p1SNd14COS anu 6t44S u WudG-
ever political faith, seemed to unite
with each other in expressions of at
tachment to the Constitution and
Union.
"The ceremonies were enlivened by
national songs by the Newport choir
music by the Newport Citizens band
the stirring notes of fife and drum
and repeated and enthusiastic cheers
for everything of the patriotic kind
Convincing evidence was not wanting
that the spirit of freedom which ami
mated our forefathers in the times
that tried mems SOULS still lived il
the hearts of the Green Mountain
Boys. A bountiful repast was pro
vided for the inner man by L. Buck
Esq, proprietor of the Memphrema
cog House, which, though mentioned
last, was not the least among tht
many good things Of the day"

RELIGIOUS TENETS
OF THE PRESIDENTS
All Have Been Devout BeIiev-
ers, But Some Not Church
Members.
EXCERPTS FROM SPEECHES

Inauguration year always prompts
a question as to the religious beliefs
of the men who have been Presidents
of the United States.
GEORGE WASHINGTON was an ac-
tive member of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church His first inaugural address
gives his belief:
"It would be peculiarly improper to
omit in this first official act my fervent
supplications to that Almighty Being
who rules over the universe. who pre-
sides over the counsels Of nations. and
whose providential aids can supply
every human defect"
JOHN ADAMS was a Unitarian who
believed in the guiding providence OF
God. He SO states: And may that
Being who is supreme over all. the
Patron of Order. tho Fountain OF Jus.
the world of virtuous liberty, continue
His blessings upon this nation ana its
government, and give 1t all possible
success and duration consistent with
the ends of His providence"
THOMAS JEFFERSON was claimed
by some as an agnostic Let him
speak for himself. Closing one OF his
messages he said: And may that Di'
, vine Power which rules the destinies
of the universe lead our counsels &c
what is best and give them favorao PIE
issue for your peace and prosperity
JAMES MADISON'S tenets were more
uncertain He made mention In one OF
his messages ito the guidance or tha'
Almighty Being whose power regulates
the destiny Of nations"
JAMES MoNRoE's closing words II
his first inaugural address are con-
elusive as to his belief: Il enter or
| the trust to which 1 have been called
| by the suffrages of. my fellow citizens
with my fervent prayers to the Al
mighty God that He will be graciousi1
nieased to continue to us that protec
| tion which He has already so con
spicuously displayed in our favor"
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS was Uni
tartan, and his inaugural address was ful
