TRUE HERoIsM. IF ever there was an
example of true heroisn, we think it is to be
found in the conduct of Gov. Seward, in the
case of Freeman, the negro who slaugh tered the
Van Nest family. The whole community in
the vicinity of tins awful tragedy became so
excited that 1T would listen to nothing but the
execution of the supposed murderer; and this
excitement, we have too much reason to fear,
reached the court and the jury. Amidst all
this terrible phrenzy and prejudice of the
people, and against the entreaties OF his ev-
: er-watchful friends, Gov. Seward stepped for
ward alone and single handed, as counsel for
the wretched negro. For four weeks, through
the oppressive and sultry weather, far into
the shades of night did he labor with his ut
most strength for his client. He pushed from
him wealthy clients, whose gold and whose
influence were ready for him, and devoted his
whole energies to the cause of this miserable
idiot, who was forsaken by all around him,
even of his own color and caste; and without
one cent reward, pleaded the cause Of the al
ready condemned prisoner. An incident
which we find related in a Boston paper
will show how deeply he was interested in his
case. When the District Attorney thunder
cd the words of the indictment in the adder
ear Of the dcmcnted creature, the only effect
upon his vacant mind that could be discerned
was an diotic smile. playing upon his stoid
face, proving him wholly unconscious of what
was going on around him. Gov, Seward
could no LONGER restrain HIMSELF he covered
his face with his hands, burst into tears and
scizing his hat, rushed from the room. When
he returned, Mr.. Wright, who had joined
Gov, Seward as counsel for the prisoner, rose
up and declared he could have nothing more |
to do with case, which so much resembled a !
terrible farce. Gov. Seward immediately !
sprang to his feet and exclaimed, "May 1t
please the court, shall remain counsel for
The prisoner until the hour Of his death."-

A POINTED Blow. An invalid sent for
a physician, and after OBTAINING him some
time with description of his pains, aches,
&C., he thus summed up: " Now, doctor, you
have humbugged me long enough with your
good-for nothing pills and worthless syrups
they don't touch the real difficulty. | wish
YOU to strike the real cause of my aiment, if
it is in your power to reach it," 1t shall be

Ex of Samuel Adams.
This was an appeal from decision of tile Probate
Court, allowing the will Of Samuel Adams.
The viii was in the hand writing of Adams, and
commenced in the usual form, ~ Samuel Adams
&C.; but his name ives not sigIel at the bottom of
it. One witness syero to the execution and attesta-
ton of it, but the other two dcneda knowledge of
it, and swore that their names were not in their hand
writing and that they never signed the same. Tes
tmony was given tending to show that the sigma
lures were in their hand writing The court charg-
ed the jury, that if the will was written by Adams
himself his name at the commencement was suflic-
lent signing and that if they were convinced that he
wrote it, and that it attested testified to by
the first witness, they should find that the instrument
was the will of Adams but otherwise, if they be-
eved the testimony of the other two witnesses tobe
true. The jury returned vedct sustaining the
will, Exceptions by appellant.

1t appears that in February, 1915, the plaintiff,
who was then but fouryea old, was lying down up
on his breast upon small hand sled, and was sliding
down hill in Pawot village. The defendant was
driving span of horses attached to traverse sled,
upon which he had load of bark and in descending
the hill the back runner of the sled passed over the
leg of the plaintiff, and so crushed it that 1t was
necessary to anputate it. Evidence was given on
the part of the plaintiff tending to show that the
plaintiff was not in the travelled sleigh path, and
that the defendant might have easily restrained his
horses, &c. On the part of tho defendant it was at
tempted to be shown that the plaintiff was in the
travelled path; that defendant endeavored to rein
his horses to the other side and restrain them, but
was unable to effect it, The court charged the jury
that it was evident the plaintiff had been injured by
the act of the defendant and was entitled to recov
cry unless the act unavoidable that it was not
necessary that the act should be ntentiona that the
defendant was bound to use the care and prudence
which the most prudent kind Of men would have

Destructive Conflagration.
EXTRAORDINARY DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS
AT NIBLO'S.

At fifteen minutes after four this morning
a fire broke out in the Green Room at Nib
los, near small aperture in the wall through
which tickets were sold for the winter con
cert, &c. in the Saloon In few minutes the
flames had communicated to the boxes, and
to the stage and sccnery-so that in an in
credibly short space of time the whole build
inc was in a bright sheet of flames, throwing
up far into the sky long, undulating pyramids
Of fire, wreathcd in sparks, and robed in
moment, the light and combustible ma
terias of the theatre were one after another
falling and sending up those brilliant corus-
cations. The scene looked like Titanic
exhibition Of Pyrotechny, and one almost
waited to hear the shouts Of applause that
were to greet some Polyphemus Rave1 as he
appeared on hawes-cNblc stretched from
Orion to the Pleiadcs.'
Among the lucky chances, DR. Turner who
assisted in saving his neighbor's property,
dashed into desk in Mr.. NibloS private
sitting room, and carried off an armfull of
books, which turned out to be the bank book,
check book, day book and receipt book Of
tile establishment. These the Doctor return
ed this morning to Mr.. Niblo, accompanied
with an appropriate note."-1ribuae, 18th.
READING IN RAILROAD CARS. Impcr-
feet vision seems to have increased since rail
road travelling was introduced. An cxertion
of unusual intensity, both of the mind and
muscles, is required to read with any degree
of satisfaction while the cars are moving rap
idly on the track. The prolonged effort
brings a dimness Of sight not untrequently
followed by pain in the forehead, from de-
termination Of blood to that part of the brain
in the unnatural attempt to read while in rap
id motion. The practice is exceedingly in
furious, and should be abandoned by those
who have any desire to use their eyes in old
age.-Scientyfc American.

A PROBLEM. Some of our proslavery
wings are growing most Justify over the late
election, declaring that this is the largest Lib
erty vote that will ever be cast in the State.
Such has been their cry'for years, and will
continue to be, we suppose, until we get a
clear majority in the State. But we have a
problem for such fellows to solve If the
Liberty Party, with comparatively no effort,
and under the most malicious and inccssant
abuse of both the other parties has increased
its vote 10 per cent, while the wings, with all
possible exertion, and every inhuencern their
favor, have increased their vote less than 5
per cent, and that of the democrats has fallen
off per cent, how long before the day of
your rejoicing will end ?-Green Mountain

Friend FIolcomb VS.. the Obser-
yer,

In the last Voice of Freedom, we find an
article, commentingin real Orson S. Muir
ray Style, upon little note in the Observer,
on the Wing Mass Meeting in this place.
Whether neighbor Holcomb has caught the
"Scolding Disease" with which his office
was so sadly infected a few years since, or
happened just then to be little out Of pa
tience we cannot tell. We have only to say
in reply, that our real "we' assome 50miles
off at the time the meeting was held-a fact
which we really regretted-and the note in
question was written by person whose
politics we do not know, but believe he is
not a Liberty Party man. The "partiality'
therefore, is not quite so apparcnt. We really
hope our good ncighbor will take dose of
'good humour" as soon as may bc.-H Oh

to have quite summary way of lsposng of prin-
ciDle for instead of telling whether he approved of
the article copied from the Observer into the Voice
two weeks ago, he very gravely says he was ffty
miles from there at the time it was writton and comes
to the point by virtually admitting that the author
was employed to write editorials for him in his abb
sence; but that he did not hnoc The politics of the

If the above purported foundation for a "problcm"
means anything,t means thatthe Libcrtyparty nthis
State gained ten per cent in numbers during the past
year, and this without opy comparative effort, while
the Wings made aHpossJe effort, and increased less
than five per cent? And this too while tho Wigs
