Our thanks are due our generous and con
siderate friend, Hon. A. H. Byington. for
valuable Congressional documents. Their
value is not exactly “ inestimable," {they are
worth just four cents a pound at the paper
dealer’sl : but as tokens of the esteem of our
warm-hearted and chivalrous fellow towns-
man we appreciate them beyond measure ;
and we cannot express the gushing emotions
of our soul as we gazed upon the character-
istic chirography of our eminent cotempora-
ry under the neat and elegant franking sig-
nature of one of our United States Senators.
Send us some more; and when we have re-
ceived enough (at four cents a pound) to buy
a new hat we will always wear it a la By-

HBBBABOUTS-
. .At a donation in Portchcster last week,
for the benefit of the African Methodist
Episcopal Zion Church, the Journal says the
following dialogue occurred.
White Trash—“Kiss Dinah, can I have
the pleasure of a promenade with you?“
Miss Dinah—“ Go‘way! Ef yer kant rec-
ognize me on Main street Sundays, yer kant
know me at the Donahue !"
. .Last Friday evening a fire was discov-
ered in the “tip printing" room of the hat
factory of o. Benedict 600., of Bethel. In
a few minutes the whole building was in
flamea, although the room in which the tire
taught was on the fourth floor. In less than
an hour the entire building was consumed,
and the loss is estimated as not far from
three hundred thousand dollars. The fee-
tory of Mr. Benedict was the largest one of
the kind in the country. Some four hundred
hands have been employed there, and as the
spring trade was just beginning, business
was very driving. The lam to the company
is much larger than the actual 10m by fire.
They had very heavy orders for spring goods
which, together with other detriments, will
afiect them in the estimate of Mr. Benedict
to fully half a million of dollars. The
amount of insurance is about one hundred
thousand dollars. This factory was at the
time of the fire getting.r out one hundred and
fifty dozen of hats a day, and a large amount
of finished as well as unfinished stock was
destroyed, together with the curling and tin-
ishing tools owned by the workmen. They
are all thrown out of employment. The
origin of the fire is not known. It was first
discovered by the night Watchman on his
rounds, who, on opening the door of the
room, was nearly suffocated by the smoke.
The alarm was instantly given, but the build-
ing being of wood the fire spread so rapidly
that before help arrived it was almost half
consumed.
I‘lve llle liver.
Quite an accident occurred Monday night,
to a person called Sam Ferguson, who at-
tempted to go on board a sloop lying in the
ice, put somehow or other miscalculated and
fell in the ice. But for his loud cries for
help he would have been drowned.
We could almost be persuaded that spring
hsd come, were it not for the patches of
snow scattered about.
Our enterprising lumber and coal mer—
chants seem to be busy filling orders.
The name of smallpox has frightened the
people about here, and has given the (loc-

We law that the Methodist preacher, Mr.
Elder, is hired for another year in the church
in this place. We do not fully understand
this way of managing business, but. supposed
the minister received the appointment from
the Conference instead of the stewards of
the church. However, we may be mistaken.

Lewis I. m
The late Lewis Franklin Beers, of South
Norwalk, Conn, was born in Aurelius, Cay-
uga 00., N. Y.. May 27th,1838. Hie grand-
father, on the mother's side, was Francis
Everett. of Hassachnaetta; a man of superi-
or mind and education, who belonged to a
branch of the Edward Everett family. The
grendmotha on the same side was Salty
Franklin, also of the same state as her hna-
hand. and a relative of Benjamin Franklin.
His mother, who was a woman of great
pm of Character as well as of deep piety,
died in his early infancy. In due time her
place was filled with one of the best of

he exhibiwd sound judgment and more than

In his social relations he was peculiarly
happy. His glowing face ever beaminz
with smiles was the index of a great heart,
that was the spring from which at all times
welled up the genial currents of -truth, of
charity, or practical benevolence, and un-
stiuted generosity, as all classes in society
will attest. His great heart and generous
aoulasseen in his kind words and more
kindly deeds, were his predominating char-
acteristics, while his hold on the regard of
his friends was ever widening. deepening,
and never relaxing to the last.
Those who mourn the loss of Lewis F.
Beers, and who that knew him does not?
mourn with no doubtful grief. Ilislife was
singularly felicitous in all that pertains to
the relations of husband, father, brother and
friend. Ilis late illness of four weeks duru-
tiou was endured with fortitude and patience,
although his sufferings through the most of
the! period were intense.

First I visited the. National Cemetery
This contains thirty-seven acres of ground,
enclosed by a subsmntiul fence. and within
this fence there is a hedge of orange, run-
ning around the entire enclosure, five thou-
sand, four hundred and sixty-oncfcct The
cemetery is beautifully situated, and ten
men and teams are now employed in devel-
oping the grnuuds. Several carriage drives
are being constructed, and many ornamental
works amps-ejected. This cemetery has
been attended to hit, being remote, seclud~
ed and seldom visited, but when completed
will be one of the mod. beautiful and attract—
ive of all the national cemeteries, fnr sur-
passing the one at Newborn. N. t‘
This cemetery will never be visited by
treat numbers; it is too secluded, too remote
from the great thorougfares of travel, in a
nection of country which has few nttmctions.
Why then lavish so much I‘XIK’DSC and
adorn with so much beauty such a place? I
saw no Southern name on the register in the
office. The visitors were from Northern and
Northwestern states; pilgrims to the graves
of their deceased friends; fathers, mothers,
wives, brothers and sisters. Why then this
great work? It is a monument over the
graves of thirteen thousand. seven hundred
and sixteen Union soldiers. Their bodies
rest in that place, and a plain board marks
the state, regiment and company to which
they belonged. And this beautiful WOI‘K of
art is a monument for them all: for each
one of them alike. It is done by the nation;
than rebel states bear a portion of the ex.
pence. It tells them how dear the memory
of these uteri is to the heart of the North. It
is a fitting token of our gratitude for the
patriotism and sacrifices of these men. It
shows the South that we are one nation, and
they need to be taught this lesson every dav.
The nation plants her flag stuff and dings out
the stars and stripes over this spot ,upon
which wu wucentrnted the burning rays of
the rebellion. Here cuormities of cruelty
were perpetrated which would disgrace the
darkest pages of human history.
A large portion of the day was spent in
rambling over the prison grounds. A de-
scription of thb scene 'of painful interest
moat bedderrod to another time.
In the centery are numerous tablets with
significant inneriptions, to inditme the feel.
