right citizen, and one whose loss will be se

cle of friends and acquaintances. Mr. C.

Vermont, in the mootb or April, 1820, and
at the time of bis death was aged 49 years
and 7 months. At an early age he moved
into New York State and settled at Fulton,
at which place be resided for many years,
and where be was married. He came to
the oil region in the year I860, and imme
diately went into business as an oil produ
cer, being largely interested iu the develop
ment of the oil territory in this vicinity.
For tbe past few years be bad been engaged
in the business of refining oil, under the
firm name oi Crane, Tbacker & Co., one of

Eatly last Summer a partially insane man
left Cairo, taking with him a son. seven
years old, and nothing was heard of them
tilt a few days since, when news of his ar
rest as an Insane person Was received from
Sacramento. He was ragged and travel
worn and the little iy was in a condition
equally pitiable. The whole distance from
Cairo to California has been made by them
on foot. They bad traveled steadily, beg
ging food on the way, sometimes . failing
and thirsting for days, but continuing their
j mmoy the while, as it' the route ubouuded
in extravagant plenty. The ''Professor,'1
inspired by tbe insane Idea that California
was indeed a land of gold, exerted a super
human (strength, carrying the boy in bis
arms for hours after thu lad's wear leg: hud
refused to support blm further. Night and
day, week after week, tbe journey was pur
sued widened into distance or more than
two thousand miles, closing the last day
with a walk of over thirty miles.
Sunday last began the ecclesiastical year
as January 1st begins thu civil year. All
of our Episcopal churches will duly notice
this commencement by appropriate services,
anthems, psalms and collects. The sublime
liturgy of tho church uses its grandest col
lect in Ihe s uson as follows: Almighty
God, give us grace that we may cast away
tbe works of darkness, uow in tbe time of
this mortal life, in which Thy Son Jesus
Christ came to visit us in great humility,''
fce. Now for six mouths to come is tbe
most interesting and solemn portion of the
Christian year, aud the services at all
these churches will be of tbe most interest
ing character. Soon will came Christmas
with its eucces-don of holidays, to be fol
lowed by lent, Guod Friday, Easter, Ascen
sion, aud Whit Sunday, some months
hence.
