Friday Morning, Nov. 8, 1872.
Old Newspapies. Many people take
newspapers, but few preserve ihem, yet the
most interesting reading imaginable ia an
I old file of newspapers. It brings up the
Very age, wilb all its bustle and every day
affairs, and marks its genius aud its spirit
more than the most labored description oi
tbe historian. Who can take a paper, dated
half a century ago, without the thought thut
almost every name there printed is now
cut upon a tombstone at the head of an
epitaph. '
It is easy to preserve newspapers, and
they will well repay the trouble, for like
that of old wine their value increases with
their years.
Wobmk and Woksk. We can understand
the green-eyed monster play ina; havoc with
a heart of any age from eighteen up to
eighty, but we cannot conscientiously find
a justification for that human being who
will permit it to find an abiding plac j in
bis breast after that extreme point of life's
hayday. Hw then shall we speak of the
Otbel o in North Carolina who, at the im
pulsive age of ninety six, U under indict
ment for murdering his wife in a fit of
jealousy? The wretched man pleads in
mitigation that the fickle aud heartless
young creature of ninety callow summers
had been flirting with other young ft Hows,
which was an outrage that his nature could
not calmly bear and permit to go unpun
ished. Here his jealousy destroyed at oue
fell blow a paity who might, if properly
encouraged, have lived to be one of those
remarkable women who do all sorts of
wonderful thiugs at the age of 120, and
make the rounds of the papers as an exam
ple for others to go and do likewise. This
is too had.
Thk Phantom Tbain. A writer in the
Albany Evening Timet relates a conversa
tion with a superstitious night watchman
on the New York Central railroad. Said
the watchman : "I believe in spirits and
ghosts. I know such things exist. If you
will come op in April I will convince you."
He then told of the phantom train that every
year comes up the road with the body of
Abraham Lincoln. Regularly in the month
of April, about midnight, tbe air on the
track becomes very keen and cutting. On
either side it is warm and still. Every
watchman, when he feels this air steps off
the track and sits down to watch. Soon
after the pilot engine, with long black
streamers, and a band with black instru
ments, playing dirges, grinning skeletons
sitting all about, will pass up noiselessly,
and the very air grows black. If it is
moonlight, clouds always come over tbe
moon, and the music seems to linger, as if
frozen with horror. A few minutes after
and the phantom train glides by. Flags
and streamers hang about. The track ahead
seems covered with a dark carpet, and the
wheels are draped with the same. The
coffin of the murdered Lincoln is seen ly
ing on the center of a car, and all about i
in the air blue coated men, some with cof
fins on their backs, others leaning on them.
It seems then that all the . vast armies of
men who died during the war, are escorting
tbe phantom train of the president. The
wind, if blowing, dies away at once, and
over all the solemn air a solemn hush al
most stifling prevails. If a train were pass
ing, its noise would be drowned in the si
lence, and the phantom train would ride
over it. Clocks and watches always stop,
and when looked at are found to be from
five to eight minutes behind. Everywhere
on the road, about the 27th of April, the
time of watches and trains is found sud
denly behind. This said the leading watch
man, was from tbe passage of the phantom
train.
Etficact of Peaykb in Physical Na
tttbb. Prof. Tyndall says in the Popular
Science Monthly :
Tbe bone contention at present is the
physical value of prayer. It is not my
wish to excite surprise, much less to draw
forth protest, by the employment of this
phrase. I would simply ask any intelligent
person to look the problem honestly and
steadily in the face, and then to say wheth
er, in the estimation of the great body of
those who sincerely resort to it, prayer does
not, at all events upon special occasions,
invoke a power which checks and aug
ments the descent of rain, which changes
tbe force and direction of winds, which af
fects the growth of corn and the health of
men and cattle a power, in short, when
appealed to under pressing circumstances,
produces the precise effects caused by phy
sical energy in the ordinary course of
things. To any person who deals sincerely
with the subject, and refuses to blur bis
moral vision by intellectual subtleties, this.
I think, will appear a true statement of the
case. It is under this aspect alone that tbe
scientific student, as far as represent him.
has any wish to meddle with prayer,
Fcrced upon his attention as a form of
physical .energy, he claims the right of sub
jecting it to those methods of examination
from which all our present knowledge of
the physical universe is derived. And if
bis rt searches lead him to a conclusin ad
verse to its claims ; If his inquiries rivet
him still closer to the philosophy enfolded
in tbe words "He maketh the sun to shine
on the evil and on tbe good, and sendeth
rain upon tbe just and upon the unjust"-'
be contends only for the displacement of
prayer, not for its extinction. He simply
says physical nature is not its legitimate do
main. This conclusion, moreover, must
be based on pure physical evidence and
not on any iuberent unreasonableness in
tbe act of prayer.

The Horse Dlitempsr.
Tbe horse catarrh is on the increase, and
its effects may daily be seen on tbe princi
pal streets, and almost every animal in tbe
city is affected. Butchers, milkmen, ex
pressmen and grocers are still working their
horses though many of them are sick. We
saw a horse to-dayon Central row, that bad
the disease, but was apparently able to
travel. In New Haven, post mtrtem ex
amination has been made of A horse that
died of the disease. The Palladium says :
Tbe real character of the disease is in
flimation of tbe respiratoiy passages, and in
its secondary stage, of all the mucus mem
branes. Sometimes the passages from the
pharynx to tbe termination will be found
to be affected, and aqme of the larger in
testines are not always free from inflama
tion, tbe upper part of tbe trecbea may
have aollection of spume, adhesive in na
ture, and the tunic of the bronchi, the
heart and lungs may also be affected.
CAUSES.
The causes of the disease are difficult to
determine, but enough has been learned to
know that it arises from some peculiar
state of the atmosphere, probably some
foreign and injurious substance in it. It is
also known to be most prevalent in cold or
chilly weather and in tbe Fall or Spring.
its natubb.
Tbe disease is epidemic, and frequently
spreads over a whole country, as it is now
doing. It is sometimes endemic, that is,
pervades only one district or sometimes one
town. It has also been learned that the
disease increases with the number of hor
ses at the stables. An authority Youatt
says that "two or thtee horses shut up in a
stable may escape, and out of thirty horses
distributed through ten or fifteen stables,
not one may be affected, but in a stable
containing ten or twelve horses, all will be
affected."
TREATMENT.
Youatt recco mends a feyer draught con
taining an ounce of spirits of nitre ether,
with six or eight ounces of liquid ammonite
acetatis in a pint of water, twice a day,
and the application of a counter irritant to
the throat. He also recommends a mash
for food, while preserving an equable
warmth. Hartford Times.
Escape ef Jail Birds.
Pkovidbnob, Nov. 1. Two convicts in
the state prison, named EHsha E. Peck and
Charles Williams, escaped Wednesday
night. Peck by some means got out of
his cell into the corridor and struck the
night watchman, B. C. Allen, a fearful
blow on the back of his head with a piece
of gas pipe. After beating him, it is fear
ed, fatally, the yillain tied Allen's hands
together with a suspender, robbed bim of
bis watch, revolver, and two dollars, and
left bim for dead.
Peck then ascended the stairs to the ball,
and going to Williams' cell, induced him to
become his confederate. Tbe manner in
which Williams' cell was opened is a mys
tery. Perhaps he may have bad a key that
would open the lock, but probably it was
opened by Peck's assistance. Tbe pair,
fiinding themselves at large in the interior
of the prison. Bet about finding some meth
od to reach the outside. Going down
stairs, they found a piece of three by four
joist among the lumber. ' This they carried
nto the old clock room, and tried by its
use to break down an iron door on the
north side of tbe basement. It resisted
their attempts, and tbe lock, which bad
been tampered with, they were also unable
to open. Foiled in this direction, thev
were obliged to plan some new method of
proceeding. It must have been at this
time nearly four o'clock. At that hour tbe
convictB well knew tbe officers' bell would
be rung by tbe night watchman ; If it was
rung, they would no longer be at liberty to
complete their lawless work ; if it did not
ring, the suspicion would be aroused and
an discovered- iuev therefore arranged a
plan to meet the exigency. It is tbe duty
of Mr. Milton H. Shattuck to answer the
officers' bell, enter the prison by the princi
pal door and proceed to start the engine.
At 4 o'clock the convicts rang the officers'
bell. Mr. Shittuck answered it as usual
Stationep near tbe door on the inside were
Peck and Williams, awaiting his entrance
The pistol of Mr. Allen was in Williams's
band. As Mr. Shattuck opened tbe door
Peck struck him a severe blow in the fore
head. Shattuck is a young man of muscle
as well as courage, and, although taken so
completely off his guard, knocked down
his assailant. At that moment Williams
struck him over tbe head with the pistol.
This blow brought him partly down, but
be continued to struggle with both the con
victs, and be thinks that they bear marks
of his resistance. He shouted at the top
of bis voice, and relief came from a quar
ter where, under the circumstances, it was
least to be expected.
Mr. Allen, tne watchman, who had been
left for dead in the cellar, remained sense
less for a long time, but gradually began to
recover bis consciousness. Finding him
self bouud be set about mechanically to
free himself, and, aftei a while, succeeded
in getting oue band at liberty, when he cut
the suspender that bound the other. Prob
ably without hardly knowiDg what be was
about, be managed to leave the basement
and ascend tbe stairs, just as the fearful
conflict at tbe door began. He instinctive
ly hurried to tbe bell rope and pulled the
bell that is used to alarm Deputy Warden
Fitzpatrick. Tbe deputy sprang from bed,
and grasping bis revolver, pushed for tbe
spot. In tbe meantime tbe convicts had
overpowered Sbattuek, and rushed out of
tbe ball of 'the prison into tbe office. Tbe
room of tbe deputy warden is next to tbe
office and adjoining tbe front ball. Had
tbe prisoners Hied to escape by the front
way, tbey would have encountered tbe dep
uty witb his seven-shooter. But probably
aware of this danger, they rushed through
the office to a side door, which tbey liter
ally smashed open, breaking one of tbe
panes of glass and making good their escape.
Another Ocean Horror
The Atlantic mail steamer Missouri,
Capt, Green, which left New York on the
1 7th for Havana via Nassau, was burned at
seaabout twenty five miles from Abaco.
one of the Bahama islands, in a gale of
wind on tbe 32d. The fire was discovered
about nine o'clock, a. m. in tbe pantry,
and suddenly, burst out amidships in a vol
ume of flame which spread rapidly all over
tbe ship. The boats were launched imme
diately, but all but one were swamped at
once. Those who had remained on board
were compelled to jump into the sea on ac
count of the flames. A single boat load of
twelve persons reached Abaco in the evening-
All tbe rest, both passengers and
crew, are supposed to have perished, al
though it is bareiy possible that some may
have been picked up and saved from the
sea. -Those saved were taken to Nassau in
a small schooner, and three have reached
Key West They say it was a fearful
thing for those in the floating boat to see
their fellow passengers in the angry waves
clinging to the swamped boats and beg
ging for assistance. There were ten' ladies
on board tbe ill-fated boat. It is stated
that the captain used every effort to save
the lives of his passengers, and worked
bravely at tbe hose himself.
LATER ACCOUNT.
Two of the boats of the ill-fated Missou
ri were burned alongside the vessel, and
there is no probability that any of tbe oth
ers ever reached shore. It is Drobable that
not a single life would have been saved had
it not been for James Culmer, a resident of
Eleutbera Island, and a passenger on hoard.
A new boat had been purchased in New
York and placed on the deck, but as tbe
weather bad been boisterous, she had not
been secured either by gripes or by chocks.
When it' was known that the vessel would
be destroyed, Gulmer, with a few others,
launched this boat, holding fast to her
painter, atd then jumped overboard and
swam to tbe boat. Eleven others followed
him, but even then, had it not been for
Culmer, who was acquainted with the man
agement of a boat, and piloted ber through
the surf, she would have been lost witb the
others. The three passengers who are at
Key .West were bound to Havana, and will
be forwarded to that port.
Robbery on the Ca.r Arret of the
Thief.
Edward Beder, a diamond merchant, who
was on his way from Boston to New York
on the Owl train Wednesday night, met
with a misadventure, which, however,
might have been much worse than it was.
On his arrival in Springfield he stepped off
tbe train, leaving bis traveling bag a fine
English dressing case in his seat in the
car, but on returning after getting a cup of
coffee, he found it gone. He at once noti
fied tbe police, aud they went into the Mag
sasoit House to talk the matter over ; while
they were conversing, a well-dressed, gen
teel appearing man, about forty years old,
stepped into the office from the depot, and
on seeing the officers jumped back in as
tonishment, but, instantly recovering him
self, registered his name as W. Clark, and
was shown to his room. The policemen at
once "spotted" him as the thief, and while
be was writing his name one of them no
ticed that his shaggy overcoat was full of
splinters, as if he had been laying against. a
pile of lumber. Knowing that there was
such a pile just north' of the depot, the po
lice- went there and, in a few minutes,
found tbe bag cut in strips lying behind
some boards. Three fine pearls aud a pair
of onyx sleeve buttons, together worth
about $400, had been taken out, but tbe
thieves had missed a few diamonds of
greater value, which were in another part
of the bag. A passenger who sat near Mr.
Beder on the train had previously been in
terviewed, and he gave a description of tbe
man who took the carpet bag, correspond
ing with the one who had tbe splinters on
his coat. The evidence was deemed suffi
cient to warrant Clark's arrest, and he was
taken into custody about 4 o'clock, yester
day morning. A careful search failed to
bring any of the stolen property to light,
but it was probably carried off by a ' pal,"
who subsequently telegraphed from this city
as follows: "Gone tome. Couldn't stop.
Gus." Clark, or whatever bis name is,
takes the matter very coolly, and says he
is joint owner in a New YorV hotel, but he
is evidently an old and accomplished thief.

QUIRKS
An East Tennessee paper has a notice
headed " Land Sail."
"Quillographs" is a heading in the Al
toona (Pa.) Tribune.
Somebody advertises in a London paper
for " some old artifical teeth " which can
be " sent by post " and for which " their
value will be sent back per return."
A Washington paper protests against tbe
supposition that it is profitable to run a
newspaper at the national capital.
Country editors are busy decanting upon
tall corn, mamnoth squashes, big apples
and other bucolic phenomena of the sea
son. George W. Fulller has raised the un
burned portion of the steamer City of New
London. It has been towed to New Lon
don to be broken up.
An Iowa paper advertises for "an ap
prentice, girl or boy, we don't care which,
only so the office be kept clean and the
wood sawed."
If you can arouse curiosity by an adver
tisement it is a great point gained. The
fair sex don't hold all the curiosity in the
world.
The business of a reporter often brings
bim into odd places. In a report of a New
Orleans wedding, we read that the bride
wore silk-embroidered stockings.
A revenue assessor in Ohio, asking the
usual questions, inquired : ' Did your wife
have any income last year? "Yes, sir,'
replied the assessed," both girls."
At the funeral of a woman recently, a
sympathetic and admiring neighbour volun
leered the information that "for patient
resignation the corpse could dance all
around any woman living."
If those brilliant geniuses who are always
so ready to counsel an editor on the prop
er mode of conducting his paper would try
their skill a little while, they would be apt
to find that there are as many who advise
one course as there are who advi&e another.
The publisher of the Bradley County
(Ark) Eagle thus excuses himself for the
delay in tbe issue of bis paper : "A printer,
who is pressman, compositor, maker-up of
forma, d. setter.' does all the job work,
clipping copy and writing for a twenty-four
column newspaper, may have tbe 'dead
wood' on 'strikes,' but we'lt be banged if he
hasen't got bis ' hands full' when it comes
to doing all his work and having six chills
a week.
W shall feel greatly obliged to any of oar
friends in the county, or elsewhere, who will tend

Fire in Po'keepsie. The Amenia Times
says a row of frame buildings on tbe corner
of Market and Uuion streets, Poughkeep

daraagad by an incendiary fire, on the
night of Oct. 7th. Mr. O. Grady, of the
Forbes House, and others sustain losses,
most of which will be covered by insurance.

the substantial benefits to be derived from
advertising. He not only advertises large

tbe depots and other much frequented
places, some large and very fine advertising
cards. This accounts for the large trade
he is having.
Serious FaU. Boss Carpenter Turner fell
from the Round house for locomotives,
which is being built hy the Housatonic
Railroad Co., in Falls Village, and striking
on his back was seriously injured. The
distance was only about 15 or 16 feet, but
as the roof of the building was covered

Ashley Falls is undergoing a thorough re

said to be more 'than ever before, which
may perhaps be accounted for by the fact
that Mr. Abbott is regarded as the best mil

Horse Disease. We hear that the horse
disease has reached Winsted. Eleven hor
ses were sick last Monday and several more
were reported Tuesday and Wednesday.
As tbe remedy for this malady has been so
extensively advertised, and it is so easily
treated, it would seem as though none of
these cases need to prove fatal.
Later, We were informed Wednesday
aftenoon, that something like 100 horses in
Winsted were suffering with this disease.
A Huge Blast. Last Tuesday morning
about six o'clock, a blast was exploded in
tbe Chatfield ore bed which burned about a
barrel of powder, and which not only lift
ed immense quantities of ore from its bed
of thousands of years, but lifted the pic
tures from the walls of neighboring dwell
ings, panes of glass from the windows, and
in one instance a tea-pot from the stove, as
well as doing a very successful business in
lifting people out of bed. Altogether it
was conceded to be a good deal of a "lift
er," and was said to have been fired, "in
honor of the election of Greeley & Brown.''
In Winter Quarters. The Amenia limes
says that during the coming winter, aui
mals of the Van Amburgh & Wombell me
nagerie will occupy for their quarters, tbe
fair grounds of the Eastern Dutcneis Agri
cultural society in that village, and that
tbey are now within that enclosure. Tbe
Times says this menagerie has been greatly
enlarged tbe past year, and without the
new building the fair ground accommoda
tions would have been insufficient to house
them comfortably. They go into their
winter rest in excellent health and condi
lion, and their tarry in this place cannot
fail, we trust, to be one of mutual interest.
If so, we may hope for their reappearance
eveay winter.

CURRKNTE CaLAMO.
On A Visit. Mr. Geo. O. Kilbourn,
who for so long tune was superintendent of
the Washinee factory in this village, but
who something like a year ago went to
Amherst, Nova Scotia, to superintend the
mills of the Lawrence Manufacturing Co.,
is in this village with bis family for a visit
of a few days. He says that men with en
terprise, though their capital be small, are
in great demand there. He thinks the in
habitants of tbe British Possessions a long
wayB behind the Americans in this world
of progress, and if men of enterprise will
go there and manufacture anything, it mat
ters but little what, be will find a quick
sale for it -at very remunerative prices. He
has not decided to make Nova Scotia his
permanent heme, but thinks it a good place
to make money.
The Election. For a presidential election
iu this town, that of last Tuesday was one
of the most quiet and every way orderly,
of any which has ever occurred here. A
very large vote was polled, and throughout
the day the crowds which gathered about
the hall building, constantly going in and
coming out, conducted themselves with the
utmost decorum. Tbe dealers in the ardent
received an invitation to keep closed bars"
during tbe day, and as a consequence but
very little drunkenness was prevalent,
which at course accounts for it. One case
deserves especial mention. A youDu man
by the name of F. , we art ashamed
of him and wont tell more of his name, j
was exceedingly noisy ; in fact making
noise enough for all the rest : bawling about
the village nearly all day. Howling and
spewing about the streets druuk ou election
days, or in fact any other day as for that
matter, is probably about as poor paying
buniuesa as one could engage in, and it is
very unfortunate for the peace of the rest
of mankind that there are any who will occa
sionally (if not oftener,) allow themselves
to link to the level of the gutter. The entire
vote of last Tuesday was 684. Greeley &
Brown getting 386, Grant & Wilson 297
and O'Conner 1. Greeley & Brown's ma

sembled at the Third Presbyterian Church,
Tuesday evening, at 5 o'clock, a large and
brilliant audiance that bore a smile of glad
ness ajout their faces that betokened the
happening of something strikingly pleasant,
The parties most interested in this gath -
ering. were Mr. H. Bushnell, of tha firm of
Bu8hnell & Annin, grocers on Wabash
avenue, and Miss Lettie C. Stearns, daugh
ter of Mr. Alonzo. Stearns, of the Chicago
& Alton Railroad. Both parties are well
known and universally esteemed. At a
few minutes past 5 o'clook the wedding
party entered tbe church and advanced to
the pulpit by tbe main aisle, while the or
gan toned out the rich notes of a wedding
march. Nature had endowed the bride
with a comely form and beautiful face.
She was dresed in a white silk ands a flow
ing veil, with orange blossoms in profusion.
She was accompanied in the capacity of
bridesmaids by Miss May Humphrie and
Nellie Stearns, who were also dressed in
white. Mr. Bushnell was attired ia a suit of
black, with while vest, and was support
ed by Mr, Geo. L. Wells and Geo. Stearns.
Mr. Kittredge performed tbe ceremony in
his own inimitable and impressive way, the
father giving away tbe bride. The bene
diction pronounced, the party retired to the
residence of the bride's parents, on Warren
avenue, where during the evening a recep
tion was held. Congratulations were re
ceived by the bride and groom, all wishing
them a happy journey through life. The
bride was made the recipient of numerous
rare and costly presents, among which
were a gold watch set with diamonds and a
set of the heaviest make of gold enameled
bracelets, besides silver and laces in great
abundance. Tbe bridal party left on the
9 o'clock train tbe same evening for New
York and Boston, to be absent some weeks,
visiting their friends meantime in Connect
icut and other New England Stales. They
will return about December 1st, and will be
at home at 363 Michigan avenue. Chicago

Meename uase isaa uiuo. t he - serson
of 1872 has come and gone, and with it has
closed the third year of the Mechanic B. B.
C. The interest in base ball has, du
ring the last term considerably abated, and
should the past season be the Iat of the ex
istence of the club, the members at any
rate can look back with pride upon its rec
ord, for they have in every instance left
the field conquerors, defeating their oppo
nents in the aggregate more than two to
one. The score book shows a gross9 total
of 277 against 99 ; five games by tbe first
nine and one by the second, as follows :

277 99
against eighteen games last year with a
gross total of 840 to 531- The non-appearance
of tbe second nine this season is due
to the energy displayed by their captain.
Perhaps some of our friends would be in
terested to know why the club has not
played as much this season. I can ouly
explain it by saying that every club on the
line of the C- W. R. R. that we have heard
of we have challanged and only one (the
Salisbury nine; has ever come to time. No.
Canaan promised to play us immediately
after haying, and as we have not heard
from them, they must have bad a very
heavy crop. Winsted with her "Dexters''
of only a year or two ago, could not even
raise a picked nine. New Hartford with
a nine that rumor says is as strong as our
own, could not be prevailed to come within
sight of us. The Grant club of Collins
ville, took the trouble to write to one of
our own men to ascertain it be knew of a
club who would play them. Of course
they beard from us, and they did not have
the courtesy to answer tbe letter. The
last challenge sent was to the Live Oaks of
Maiden Bridge, N. Y., champions of Col
umbia Co. and in reply received an invita
tion to meet them in Chatham. As we have
driven over 50 miles in a day to play ball,
it was thought only reasonable, that thev
would come to Lakeville, especially as tbey
cculd come on the cars aud ire had given
the challange, so had tbe right to name the
place cf meeting. Thus it has been
through the whole season. Our old fricudst
the Amenia club, is the only club that has
tried to meet us, aud have met us no less
than three times, and would have done so
again bad we considered it right to play
more thau two games out of three away
from home, but should we be in the field
1.
ftance
next season we hope to renew the acquain-
To particularize each member's
plays would be impossible, and to eulogie e
oue more.than another would be unfair. It
is sufficient to say that every man done his
duty, and when they retire with a record,
of which any club professional or other
wise, might justly be proud. In two years
they have played 27 games and lost only 3,
and if we have not defeated the champions
of the county, it is because we could not
get to them, but we are at any rate cham
pion of a district within a twenty-five mile
radius, and if any club within that distance
doubts that assertion, at any time after the
lfithofMay, 18v3, (provided, of course,
the club exists), we shall ba ready to re
ceive challangcs and they may rest assured
they will be accepted.

Appeals to The Law. Uogers of the Courier
la
t week acknowledged biniselt flogged with
the fame whip ho has industriously and indiscrim
inately used for years to flog other with, laying it
on without mercy to whomsoever lie chose to wal
lop, and now while himself cringing under the
stints of thimtamc lash, he threatens to disgrace
the fraternity by appealing to the law for protec
tion, and demands of us that we ''fully retract,"
etc., etc. He also has much to say about legitimate
newspaper warfare. Three times did he allude in
a most provoking and uncalled lor manner to our
intellect, intimating as mnuh as to say that we
were weak in intellect, before we opened our
batteries on him, and since then has pail 'd us a
jackass, a-skunk. and has alluded to tho Nkws as
being a '-weekly driveling"; a "bantling": calls
our writings "boyish twaddle," and reflects se
verely on our character in accusing us of "pretend
ing to be Mr. Horace Landon's friend while se
cretly plotting his defeat." and everything else as
had as his ingenuity wjuld admit, then preaches
loudly about "Legitimate newspaper warfare" I
and now. when bv sheer necessity wo were com
pelled to lay hold of the same weapons with which to
deiend ourself, and he is beaten in his own game,
he throws up the sponge and ingloriously threat
ens to slink into the friendly embrace of the law
seeking urotection. anil asks us to "be manly
and eat our words, aud talks about compelling us
to do so. If oy making the above threat, it was
his design to frighten us, ho might as wo.ll know
now as at any time that we don't scare worth a
ont, but as he is the aggressor, so soon as he
chooses to treat us respectably, we'll not put it
as strong as that, even decently, we will re
ciprocate and thus the matter may end.

Editor News. The election passed off
very quietly notwithstanding wo have Sev
eral places licensed to sell liquor. Tho
only riotous demonstration was a dog and
cat fight in front of tho Town Hall. A few
bets were made of two to one for Greely.
But the number of votes polled were con
siderably less than last year, and the major
ity of the "Liberal Republican Ticket" iu
this town was only 43.. ..The next question
of importance is the appeareance of the borsc
distemper in the principle stables, already
several cases are reported Tbe persons
holding license for selling liquor are begin
ing to express dissatisfaction because no
effortis made to clcse the unlicensed places.
Surely, in justice to these men, the Select
men of the town should see the law an
forced against all unlicensed places. An
nouncement was made last Sabbath in the
churches of a Temperance meeting ou S ib
buth eve, Nov. loth, ut the Methodist
courch, to be addressed by Mr. . Edwards,
the popular young orator. Also, as I learn,
an effort is being made to have a course of
lectures here, nt the Depot, this winter, j
Some of a different mind have organized a ;
dancing school, while a few of the literatti

the winter evenings need not be dreaded
with such a variety of entertainments in

THE ALDIftiE,
An'IHustrated Monthly Journal, mlverfhlly ad
mitted to be the Handsomest Periodical in the
World, a Representative and Champion
of American Taste.
Not For Sale in Book or Netrs Stores.
THE ALDINE, while Issued with all the regular
ity, has none of tne temporary or timely interest
characteristic of ordinary periodicals. It is an el
egant miscellany of pure, light and grocefnl litera
ture ; and a collection of pictures, tho rarest spec
imens of urtistic skill, in black aim white. Al
though each succeeding number affords a fresh
pleasure to its liiunds, the real vain ai d beauty
of THE ALDINE will be most appreciated after it
lias been bound up at the close ot tho year. While
other publications may claim supeiior cheapness,
as compared with rival of a similar class, THK
ALDINE is a unique and original conception
alone and unapprouched absolutely without com
petition in p ice or character. The possessor of
a complete volume cannot duplicate the quantity
of fine paper and engraving in any other shape or
number of volumes lor ten times its cost; and
then, there are t..e chromos besides I
ART DEPAItTilENT.
Notwithstanding the increase in the price of
subscription last Fall, when THE ALDINE as
sumed its present noble proportions and represent
ative character, the edition was more than doubled
during the past year ; proving that the American
public appreciate, and will support, a sincere effort
in the cause ot Art. The publishers, anxious to
justify the ready confidence thus demonstrated,
nave exerted themselves to the utmost to develop
and improve the work ; and the plana or the com
ing year, as unfolded by the monthly lssces, will
astonish and delight even the most sanguine
friends of THE ALDINE.
The publishers are authorized to annonnco de
signs from many ol tbe most eminent artists of
America.
In addition, THE ALDINE will reproduce ex
amples of the best foreign masters, selected with
a view to the highest artistic success, and greatest
general interest ; avoiding uch as nave Decome
familiar, through photographs, or copies of any
kind.
The quarterly tinted plates, for 1878, will repro
duce four of John S, Davis' inimitable child
sketches, appropriate to the four seasons. These
plates appear 'in the issues for January, Apiil,
July, ant! October, would be alone worth the price
of a year's subscription.
The popnlur feature of a copiously Illustrated
"Christmas" number will be continued.
To possess such a valuable epitome of the art
world, at a cost so trifling, will command the sub
scriptions of thousands in every section of the
country; but, as the usefulness and attractions of
THE ALDINE can be enhanced, in proportion to
the numerical increase of its supporters, the paper
proposes to make "assurance double sure," by the
following unparalleled nfler of
rKE.tllUiH ClIltO.TIOS l o It 1873.
Every subscrider to THE ALDINE. who pay In
advance for the year 1873, will receive, witueut

after J J. Hill, the eminent English painter. The
pictures, entitled ''The Village Belle,'' and "Cross
ing the Moor," are 14x20 inches are printed Irom
'!.' different plates, requiring SS impressions and
tints to perlect each picture. The same chromos
are sold ler $30 a pair, in the art stores. As it is
the determination of Its conductors to keep THE
ALDINE out of the reach ol competition iu every
department, and chromos will be found corres
pondingly ahead of any that can be offered by oth
