Remember the Skim Milk Club in the Hall this (Friday) evening. Charles A. McArthur died at his home in this village of pneumonia, last Thursday, May 24th, after a short ill ness. He was hist taken by the disease Saturday but seemed to getting along very well until Wednesday he was taken worse and died Thursday afternoon. The funeral was held at the house on Saturday, Rev, E.

W. Hatch officiating. He was newly oi years old. He leaves a widow who has the sympathy of all. It should be no wonder to "a sub scriber" or to anyone else that the services of Rev.

Mr. Trevillian to preach in this place was premature when it failed of its own fault and wholly by reason of its own weakness. So far as your correspondent knows not a single pew holder in Union church has made it his business or expressed tne least anxiety in tne matter as tar as supporting the present society is con cerned. The early move was for "Methodist preaching" in East Corinth and if so many are so ready to support and welcome it, why did they not first prepare tne way, canvassing the Held and raising the funds needed for sup port, and not rush into print with premature notice of services and then leaving their own man to feel his way out of the woods ottering to exchange wun our regular pastor ana to witu- draw the newspaper appointment and those who seemed most anxious to secure his services here did not even put in an appearance to hear him preach.

Camp Pinetoit Article No. 3. The Orange County Telegraph of September 26th, 1862 printed at Bradford by George C. Chamberlin, is historical in fact, and patriotic in sentiment. Among other matters of interest it contains President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation with editorial comment by the editor alao editorial clippings on the proclamation from Boston Journal, Springfield Republican, New York Tribune, New York Times, New York Herald, and the New York World.

Read through the mellowing light of thirty years these are indeed very interesting doc uments. The article of absorbing interest in this issue ot the Telegraph is "The Guards and their Departure" and other local war items. While the thoughts and soenes of Memorial day are so fresh in our minds, "and as a fit companion piece to Mr. Well's article in the last Opinion we be lieve the reproduction of these articles will be a more substantial repast for the Opinion readers than current items. By the courtesy of the Opinion editor we give ine article entire: THE GUARDS THEIR DEPARTURE.

The Guards held an election on Monday last when First Lieut. P. S. Chamberlin was. unanimously chosen Captain.

On Wednesday Second Lieut. R. W. ChamW- lin was promoted to First Lieutenant, and Orderly W. Kelley to Second Lieutenant.

Oapt, Chamberlin served as Sergeant with, the Guards in the First Regiment and Lieutenant Chamberlin and Kelley as Corporals, and the unanimity with which all these officers were chosen show their popularity with the boys. The company is composed of the finest young men of this and adjoining towns, and the reputation it IM nnj II 1 naiuCTi wane iu service uo aouot win De To belong to such a company is an honor to any young man and a privilege he does not often have. The company left for camp at Brattie-boro yesterday, an immense crowd assembling to bid them God speed, it was estimated that between fifteen hundred and two thousand people were present at the brief remarks were made by -O'ckey, Esq-, Revs. Messrs.
