RowDrrsM.--We are informed that some
iroicsome young men gave a musical entertain

Wilcox ard his bride, of IIinsdale, N. H., with
tin horns, kettle drums, sc. Mr. Wilcox not
relishing the joke precisely, returned the COM
piment with hot shot, by which two or three of
the musicians we're wounded. Though this was
treating the matter severely, yet it was probably
an intended insult, and the boys will learn by Il.

RAILROAD TO TRoY.-We learn that funds
have been raised for a survey of Railroad to
Troy, from point on the Connecticut river at
or north of Greenfield, connecting with the Yer
mont and Massachusetts, and Connecticut River
Railroads. The enterprising citizens of Troy
have raised fifteen hundred dollars towards this
object, and give us the assurance, that if prac-
tea'le route is found, the funds shall not be
wanting Il Is believed that by this route the
distance from Boston to Troy and Albany will
be thirty or forty miles less than by the Western
Railroad, with much lighter grade. These adj
vantages, and its connection with the Rutland
Railroad at Bellows Falls, will make its stock
equal to that of any other road.

DAGuERREoTYPEs.-We have been shown
a Dagueueotype of the Hutchinson Family, by
Mr. North of this village, taken in the best style
of the art, and giving lif-like representation
of those celebrated musicians, as they appear at
their concerts. MrNorth's gallery contains some
fine specimens of Daguerreotypcs-equal, as it
seems to US, to the best of the city artists His
family groups and landscapes, in particular, are
excellent and exhibit equal taste and skin in his
profession. The improvements in the Daguerreo-
type art since its first discovery, have been won
derfnl, and Daguereoiype portraits are likely
to supersede painting. The expense of portraits
and miniatures by painting was too great for the
masses to afford; but Daguerreotype likeneaes
besides being more faithful and accurate-arc
so cheap as to be within the reach of all. The
grouping by Daguerreoiype of family Of pa
rents and children, or of friends, makes beau
tiful picture, aiiording aid and pleasure to rem
ineseenees in after life, when perhaps the origi-
nals are, some of them, in the silent grave, or
scattered in distant lands

NATIONAL POPULAR EDUCATION The
Hon William Slade delivered an interesting adj
dress on this subject on the evening of Sept.
3D. in this village.
MIR Slade is pioneer in this noble enterprise,
and engages in it with his accustomed zeal and
energy. He has lately traversed the Western
States, and gave a vivid picture of the immense
tide of emigration flowing in there, and the great
deficiency of religious and intellectual teaching
We learn from his address, that thirty-three fe-
male teachers have been sent to the Western
States. OF these, FIVE were from Maine. four
from New Hampshire, FIVE from Vermont, six
teen from Massachusetts, two from Connecticut,
aud one from New York. They have been To-
caled-one in Minnesota Territory, seven IN Wis
eonsln' two in Iowa, ten in Indiana, ten in nli-
nois, and three in Michigan. These teachers
were of the following religious denominations
nineteen Congregationalists, eight Baptists, four
Aiethodists, one Presbyterian, and one Episco-
palian' Letters were read from most of the
young ladies' written after their arrival at their
several places of destination, and which afforded
gratifying evidence Of the success of the pro-
ect Ii is in contemplation, we learn, to send
tut nifty others soon, and they are to meet in
October at Hartford, to receive instruction in
eierence to their future employment The OBJ
ect OF this Association recommends itself to the
ayor of all, and we trust It will receive substan-
ial encouragement from the citizens of this place

powers, for the success of the paper, and

II The Democrats of the county will
remember the mass meeting to be held in
Bowling Green, on the first Monday in New.
Delegates will then be selected to at.
tend the State and District Conventions, to
cast their votes in a nomination for candid
ates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor,
and Congressman. In view Of the impor-
lance of the approaching election, it is de-
,sirable that we should have a full turn out
of the Democrats Of the county, in order
that a full and clear expression Of opinion
may be had, in favor of those, whom they
would make the candidates of their choice.
We have many able mel before US, aspir-
ing for a nomination for the office of Gov
ernor,-Jackson, King, Hughes, McDeaF-
mon, and many others, either of whom
would make an able and efficient Governor
that would do honor to the State;-but a.
mong these, Old Pike may have her prefer
ence, and for that preference she ought to
speak. There are also many worthy men
aspiring for q nomination for Congress, and
among the number, DR.. Welborn of oul
own county. 1t is right then that every
Democrat should turn out, and express his
preference clearly and unequivocally, that
the choice Of the county may be fully known
to the District and the State.
An effort will also be made for a more
thorough organization of the party. In
this it is hoped that every Democrat will
Join with heart and hand. A central cor
responding committee istO be appointed to
communicate with the committees Of vigi-
lance of the several Townships, and to act
as a general vigilance committee for the
county. At this meeting it is probable that
the time of holding township meetings fol
the nomination of candidates for Represen-
tativc and Sheriff, will also be determined
upon. We hope then that the Democrat:
generally will turn out, and see that justice
is done to all.

u At the Lincoln Circuit Court, Jas.
Goodman was acquitted of the charge OF
the murder of John Craig, after a labored
argument of the cause, both by the counsel
for the prosecution, and the defence. The
case originated in Montgomery county, but
the accused was granted a change of ven-
lie to Lincoln, because it was thought that
he could not obtain an JUDGED jury
in his own. At the election in '46 an affray
occurred between Goodman, Craig and
others, in which Goodman dealt Craig a
blow on the head with a rock-in a few
days thereafter Craig died, but whether
from the blow of the rock, or from other
causes, it did not appear to the jury. The
investigation Of the cause occupied the
court from Tuesday morning until Thurs
day night, when it was given to the jury,
On Friday morning at 10 o'clock the jury
returned their verdict of not gully.
The prosecution was ably conducted by
Messrs. Lamb and Scott-the defence by
Messrs. Cave, Jameson and Minor.

The Platte .4rgus of the lst inst. propo-
ses the name of the Hon. James NJ. Hughes,
to the democracy Of this section of the
State, and asks to hear from the Banner
and other democratic papers that have net
yet expressed a preference for some ir.di-
vidusl. From our knowledge of the integ-
rity and ability of Mr.. Hughes, we believe
his nomination would be as well received
by the sovereigns of this section, as that of
any other man from a distance. McDear-
mon, King, Hughes, Jackson AMI many 9th

confidence here, and if any one stands
more prominent than another, itmay be ex-
pressed at the meeting to be held at Bow
ling Green, on the lst Monday in Novem-
Der, to nominate delegates to the Conven-
ton. We leave it with the people there to
determine the claims of the different aspi-
rants, to their support; and feel assured if
they do not get their first choice, they will
unite upon the nominee with a hearty good
will, and give him as large a vote as Old
Pike has ever yet polled for a Governor
We are gratified to sec so many distinguish
ed names before the people, from amongst
whom they cannot fail to secure an able
