MORE TROUBLES ON THE FROM.
TIER

On Saturday night the I'd inst, some IL or
JIG persons--refugecs from Alburgh, VT
crossed the lines at Caldwell's Manor-went
TO the house Of Mr.. Vosburgh bound the
father and son and locked up the women and
children. They went to the barn, took out
one valuable span of horses, fred the barn
which with number of horses, IS head OF
cattle and large number Of sheep was burn.
ed. They then went TO the house and
wounded Young VosbHgh severely. and
stabbed old Mr.. V. so badly that he is moi
expected to survive. After pillaging the
house, they set fire to il aud left. The fire
was extinguished by the neighbors without
doing much damage.
We also learn that the house Of a Mr.
Mott, at Alburgh, was burned to the ground
last night-wheiher by the same gang oi
villains orby British subjects from the Cana
ola side, is not yet known.
An express arrived at this post last even.
ing, and 25 U. s. troops and a lieutenant
started for the frontier about II O'clock
Col. Pierce went to the scene this morning.
Is it not high time that some decisive mea-
sures were adopted to prevent these outra-
gcous maraudng excursions from the Yer
mont frontier.

The Baltimore papers Of Tuesday contain
late advies from Rio Janeiro, received at that
port by the brig Orleans; after passage OF
forty days. The Orleans sailed on the
22d Of December. The United States ships
independence, Commodore Nicholson, Vim
cenncs, Capt Wilkes, and brig Porpoise,
Capt. Rnggold, were toleave for Montevideo
the next day. The Peacock. Lieut.. Hudson,
and schooners Flying Fish, Lieut.. Knox, and
Sea Gull, Lieut.. Reid, had sailed on a cruise.
They were expected to return in few days.
Late dates from Bucnos Ayres do not lcad
to a hope of an early settlement of the
French difficulties there, unless revolution
should occur in politics, and Gen. Rosas be
either assassinatcd or forced to resign. The
latter is very probable occurrence, the in
teligent portion Of the community being
against him, and great distress prevailing
among all classes from the general suspen-
sion Of every occupation.

POWDER HOUSE BLOWN UP.--The
Providence Journal, of Saturday says,
that yesterday afternoon, the Powder
House belonging to Mr.. Duty Green,
of Providence, situated in Cranston,
about one mile from the city, was blown
up with a tremendous explosion. A
yonng man named Lang, about eighteen
years old, was going to the shore with
his gun. When he was near the pow
der house, Gas he states) and within
four feet Of it, he discharged his gun
into it, without considering the conse-
quenccs. He was blown thirty feet by
the explosion, and then ran near one
hundred feet with his clothes (what re-
mained on him, as they were nearly
burnt Off on fire He was seen by a
person residing near, who Immediately
ran to his assistance with buffalo skin,
and wrapt it round him and extinguished
the fire. He is in most distressing
situation. The skin is entirely burnt
of his face, which is of a jet black and
dreadfully swollen. His recovery is
very doubtful. There were seventy
five kegs of gunpowder in the house at
the time of the explosion. 1t was a
very fortunate circumstance that be-
tween five and six hundred kegs of
powder had been removed from it a
short time previous.

FERocITY OLA RAr.-The Toronto ~.
'C.) papers relate singular circumstance
which took place in that city, on the 10Th ult.
A Mrs. Forbes left her child, an infant of
two months, asleep in her bed. in the morn
ing, and went about her usual pursuits
Shortly after, young lady, whose bedroom
was next that in which the child was left,
was alarmed by its screams, and on Fastening
to ascertain their cause, she was horrlfed at
perceiving large rat tearing at its cheek,
and within half an inch of the jugular vein
The domestic monster had commenced with
the infants hand, which he had severely torn,
but had abandoned it for part from which
more blood could be obtained. Had not the
young lady been at hnnd to render assistance,
the child, which il is now said will soon re-
cover, must in few minutes have been killed.

LATEST FROM BUENOS AYRES
AND MONTE VIDEO.

The ship Brutus, Capt. Adams, has arrived
nj New York from Monte Vidco, which place
she left on the 4lh Of December. The ]. OF
Commerce has received Buenos Ayres pa
pers to Nov. Goth. The long continued
blockade Of Buenos Ayres has much in.
creased the commerce of Monte Vidco. AT
the time the Brutus sailed there were in that
port $50 sail Of foreign vessels and 50 coas.
tiers. There were l3 French vessels Of war
in the river La Plata, viz: one Of Ga guns,
two Of %, two of 90, ono of 20, three of lS,
one Of l6, one Of 10, and two of A guns
Several Of them were at Monte Vdeo.
The U. s. brig of war Dolphin, Mackenzie,
arrived at Bucnos Ayres Nov. I7th, in five
days from Monte Vdeo and on the 18th,
the Fairfield, Purviance, from Rio Janeiro
Nov. 9TH.
The blockade of Bucnos Ayres by the
French still continued, with prospect that
it would result in war. Gen. Orbe had pub
Iished manifesto, declaring his misfortune
in being deposed from the Presidency of the
Oriental Republic, to be in considerable
measure attributable to the indirect CO. opera
ilon Of the French in favor of his opponent
Gen. Rivera. A very bitter feeling existed
between the new government of Banda
\ Oriental, and the Ducnos Ayreans; and the
indications were, that should there be war
between France and Buenos Ayres, the
Orentalists would eide actively with the
former Indeed it was reported that, without
waiting for France, they were about to invade
the Buenos Ayres province of Eutrc Rios,
With an army Of GOO0 men, 1. e. il they could
muster so large force.
New efforts for the settlement Of the dis
pute between Buenos Ayres and France, had
been made by the French Consul at Monte
Video, but with very little success.

M u. RIVES.

The Madisonian states the following facts,
in answer the caIumnies Of the Washington
Globe, against Mr.. Rives:-
at is fact, known TO many here, though
it may not be generally known, that soon
after Mr.. Rives resigned bis seat in the
Senate, in 1894, on being instructed by the
Virginia Legislature, Gen. Jackson wrote to
Mr.. Rives and offered him any situation he
might choose in his Cabinet, or any where
else within his gift. Although in The highest
degree flsttering to Mr.. Rives, he declined
accepting any thing whatever, that was thus
rendered to him. Again, it is fact, known
to many, that Mr.. Van Buren invited Mr..
Rives to accept of The War Department, with
an understanding that, as the Secretaryship
Of the State Department would soon thereaf-
ter become vacated, he should then be trans
feTred to>that under the belief that it would
be more acceptable 10 him. This, also, Mr..
Rives declined"

A TEXAS TAvERN.-A tavern has lately
been opened on rather diminutive scale
near Houston, Texas, contrasting in most
striking manner with the extensive style in
which most things are conducted in that Re-
public. 1t seems, according to the Tele-
graph. that gentleman riding along the
road discovered an old soldier by the way
side, sitting very contentedly under blank
ct stretched horizontally across the tops OF
four upright stakes. A candle box was be.
fore him, answering the purpose Of table
on which were placed small jug, and the
better half of broken bottle. Not under.
standing the object of all these preparations,
he stopped to inquire of the soldier what he
was doing there. "Keeping tavern, sir
was the ready answer: "Will you take
something TO drink"

BANGOR, Feb. 5, 1880.

phNpohS Sps ~, ICOC.
The sheriff of this county with posse of
$50 armed men, left this city this morning
for the disputed territory, for the purpose Of
arrcstng punderers or seizng their teams
and supplies. From information given the
Executive,it it appears that very large mum.
her Of men, mostly British subjects, have
been engaged during the winter, in cutting
timber upon The Aroostook waters, within
the disputed territory, and an immense guam
tity has already been cut. Upon receiving
this information, the Governor communica d
it by confidential message to the Legsla.
iure, who thercupon went into secret session
10 act upon it. The result Of their dcibera.
ton has been an order to the Sheriff of this
county, within whose precinct the trespasses
have been committed, forthwith to enlist q
posse Of armed soldiers, and to proceed to
the scene of their operations ind seize upon
their teams and supplies. The precise ma.
,ure of the order is not known, US the pro-
ceedings have not yet been made public
The above movemen, Of the sheriff has been
made in compliance with this order. Wha,
will be the result OF this move, is OF course
yet doubtful. 1t is, however, generally be-
levcd, that the trespassers will take advan.
tgo Of the seasonablc notice which they will
have Of the intended movement on the par,
Of TIE authorities here, and that the sheriff
with hs valiant army, will find naught bu,
vacant rom?s To seize, and unrcssting mil
logs TO fire at. The point of destination il
about 225 miles from this city, and Of course
some Eve or six days will elapso before it is
reached. Information has undoubtedly some
time sincc reached the trespasscrs. MS it i,
