o'clock yesterday afternoon, was not an un
expected even M 00 bad Deen in verv ba(1
state for some dltf s previous to bis demise,
yet has cast gloom of sadness over a large
portion of our community, among whom be
bad long been known as an honest and up
right citizen, and one whose loss will be se
verely felt and long mourmd by a lare cir
cle of friends and acquaintances. Mr. C.
was born In Richmond, Chittenden county,
Vermont, in the month of April, 1820, and
t the time of his death was aged 49 years
nd 7 months. At an early ape be 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 in the develop
ment of the oil territory in this vicinity.
For tbe past few years he bad been engaged
in the business of refining oil, under tbe
firm name ot Crane, Tbaoker & Co., one of
tbe oldest firms in this section. He loaves
s wife and four children, also a sis'.er, Mrs
M. L. Bates, to mourn his death.
His remaius will be taken to Fultoo, N.
V., where he will be buried wltb Masonio
honors. ,
Funeral services will be held at. the late

Tbe Niagara Farm is steadily improving
In production. On tbe 31st day of October
the production of the farm was 292 barrels,
and onjtbe 30 of Nov., (Yesterday) the pro
duction was 400 barrels. Tbe Superintend
ent of this Farm, guages the tanks every

Almost a Fire. This moruiug about

passing tbo residence of Mr. Cook, ia Wild
Cat, disoorored lUiues issuing fioiu the roof,
and by the nso of several pails of watef and
a littlo exertion, succeeded in extinguish

Early last Summer a partially insane man
left Cairo, taking with bim a son, seven
years old, and nothing was beiril of them
till a few days since, when news of his ur
rest as an Insane person was received from
Sacramento. He was ragged and travel
worn and the littlo buy was in a condition
equally pitiable. The whole distance from
Cairo to Calilornia has Wen made by tbem
on foot. They had traveled steadily, beg
ging lood on the way, sometimes fasting
and thirsting for days, but continuing their
journey the while, an if tbo route abounded
in extravagant plenty. The "Professor,''
inspired by the insane Idea that California
was indeed a laud of gold, exerted a supei
hunian Btrengtl!, carrying the boy in hU
arms for hours alter Hie lad's weary legs had
refused to support bim further. Night uud
day, week alter week, the journey was pur
sued widened Into distance of more than
two thousand m'les, closing the last day
with a walk of over ' thirty miles.
Sunday last begat) the eccluiiaslic.il year
as January 1st begins the civil your. All
of our Episcopal churches wilt duly notice
this commencement by appropriate services,
anthems, psalms and collects. Tint sublime
liturgy of tbo church uses its grandest col
lect iu the s.asoo as follows: "Almighty
God, give us grace that wo may cast away
the works of darkness, uow in ttie time of
this mortal life, in which Thy Son Jesus
Christ came to visit us in great iiuoiiiity,''
Ac. New for six months to came is the
most interesting and solemn portion of the
Christian year, aud the services at all
these churches will be of the most intetesl
ing character. Soon will cumo Cbristnm3
with its succession of holidays, to be fol
lowed by lent, Good Friday, Easter, Ascen
sion, and Whit Sunday, sjmo months
bonce.
Tbo original plan of Atlantic coast lights

The Pbtroi.eim Centre Murker. The
jury in the case of Gus. Uhcil, on trial last
week at Franklin, for the murder of Tale,
returned a verdict at 8:30 Friday evening
convicting tho accused of "murder In the
second degree." This saves Rhell's neck,
and we understand that the fact Is.dne to
tho skill and ability with which his defense
was managed by bisscounsol, Messrs. Rich
mond and Taylor. It may bo judged that
the prisoner was well satisfied with the re
sult by this occurrence: On the morning
after tho rendition of the verdict, A. B.
Richmond, Esq., visited him in bis cell,
and bidding him good-by, Rheil drew fiom
bis Tinger a'rmixnilicent diamond cluster ring
valued nt $150, and presented it to bim us
n lo ien or gratitude. This was in addition
to the very round leo that gentleman al
ready receiv d in the case. It is said that
it is bard to tell who is the most pleased
under the circumstances, Al. or his client.
Rheil has not yet. received his sentence.
