Black, from being present with us to-day, as both he aud ourselves had confidently anticipated, we do hereby most tenderly and earnestly extend to our comrade and hi3 family, this expression of our sincere sy mpiUiy in their sore amxeion of the death of their daughter. EdBolved, That while we, as soldiers, are powerless, when the mailed hand of the resistless warrior, death, is raised to smite, yet we, as soldiers, recognize in this in-nc ratable dispensation of the commander-in-chief of the universe, an order, which sooner or later must come to all the living, and which none may disobey.

Commander Burdett is a gentlemen of perhaps 55 or 60 years of age, of fine appearance, a clear sonorous voice, and possessing many of the elements of true oratory. Sentiment, mirth, pathos and history were intimately commingled in an address that no report can do justice to. 'Suffice it to say that the old veterans, their mothers, wives and sweethearts were duly remembered; that the influence of tbe members of the grand army, in shaping the current history of the country, and the hopes and aspiration of the coming generation, were all appropriately and eloquently referred to. Commander Burdett, by hia address, has amply proven the wisdom of his selection as commander-in-chief, and those who missed hearing him, have tailed to enjoy one of the chief attractions of the grand re-union.

A very singular accident, which came very near proving a fatal one, occurred last week at the residence of J. A. Lambert. It seems that Mr.

Lambert and his fourteen-year-old son, Charlie, had led a pair of mules down to the pond to water. On starting back to the barn one of the animals jerked away from the boy, and started on a dead run. The halter in some way was wrapped around the boy's ankle, and when the mule ran it threw him to the ground, but did not loosen the hold upon him. and he was dragged some four hundred yards before the mule stopped. Tfce boy was almost uninjured when picked up.

He had only a few slight bruises to remember his wonderful escape. The social purity movement, founded on Hartford CoZZ W. H. Severy recently lost 67 head of hogs from cholera. His loss so far in hogs from this disease is estimated at nearly $3,000.

In Paris toads are an article of merchandise. They are kept in tubs, and sold at the rate of 2 francs a dosen. the revelatians mads by the London Pall Mall Gazette, is steaduy gaming strength in England.
