kept; followed by srlall boy, a son in the
family. Now, sai3 the little lad, - let me
snap cap as you pfomi sed. Parsons i'm
mediately placed one ON the tube, without
thinking the gun was loaded, and the little
lad snapped the lock. The charge went
through the first door, siyered and tore the
stile orthe-outside door, through which Mrs.
Noyes had just gone, and some of the shot
struck her around and above the ear with
force enough to PROSTATE her. but not enough
to inhict very serious injury. Her nerves
were badly shocked and she was confined to
her bed for several days, but is now conya-

EMANCIPATIoN

ELiHU BuRRIrr world-renowned as the
" learned Blacksmith announced lecture
in Montpelier ON Tuesday evening last, and
came to deliver it but the lecture was post
poned ON account of the storm. The subject
was the Feasibility Of compensated eo,ancipa-
lion Of sjares--an important and interesting
topic. Mr.. BuRRIrr's plan is, substantially,
the same as was suggested by Mr. MADISON
IN 1880, and subsequently in the L. 5. Senate
by RUFUs KING, and mentioned with favor
in later years by DANIEL WEBSTER to wit,
an appropriation Of ihe public lands. or a
portion or 'uvfn, 10 fnuKc curnpensatbn 80
such states as will emancipate their slaves
Mr.. BURnIrr hopes to be able to lecture in
Montpelier hereafter, on this subject. At
Windsor, the meeting unanimously approved
OF this project. So long as the old free
States arc deprived of their right to the pro-
ceeds Of the public lands, they may well CON
sent to this use Of portion, provided the
slave Statos, or any one of them, will eman-
cipate on these terms. In the present tenn
per Of the slave States, however, there is
little ground to hope for that

IL VIZ cannot refrain from calling
the attention of our readers to an adver.
tisemcnt in this days paper of the "a air
Restorative of Prof. o. j. Wood & Co.,
of St. Louis. 1t will be seen that he
has numerous certificates from persons
of the highest character, to the merits
of his Restorative. From positive
knowledge we are also enabled to say,
that it is in every sense what it processes
to be, aud we do not hesitate to pre-
nounce it the finest preparation for the
head and hair which has so far been de-
vised by human ingenuity. We have
seen it arrest threatened badness and
restore to the head its original ~profusion
of natural and glossy hair, and when the
latter hos been prematurcly tinged with
gray, we have seen it like magic, restore
the colors youth and health. The dis
tinguished property of this, we might
truly say, miraculous Restorative, is
that it gives to the person who uses it,
the same head of hair that they wore in
youth, thus acting in strict Compliance
with the rules of the first and greatest
of all toilet makers-Nature. No Que
who has used it will hesitate to unite
with us in this testimony to it's peculiar

WASHINGTON, Nov. Io

I~learn from an Intelligent gentleman
who has spent 2 or 8 years among the
Salt Lake Mormons, a fact or two tend
ing to confirm the suspicion that the re-
cent terrible massacre of over 100 Cali
'fornia emigrants by the Santa Clara In
dams. was perpet ated under the infu,
ence of the Mormon leaders.
1t is evident that the savages who
perpetrated this outrage are the same
band who cut off Capt. Gunnison aud his
command, for they are the only band of
Indians at Corn Creek who raise grain
and have it to sell. They are the same
also who a year or more ago came very
near massacreing DIR. Hunt the U. s.

cial storm is over"
A sensible conclusion. Newspaper
enterprise" 10 the matter OF large
sheets, has ran wild. It was especially
so with the prorrietors of newspapers In
this town about the time the Union was
enlarged. The same motive that In
duced the British Government, accord
irg to SIDNEY SMITH, to create its al
most countless millions of public debt,
must have governed our successor, Dr.
SHERIDAN, when he enlarged the paper
to its present mammoth dimensions. 1t
was that I" lovc OF glory' that has strewn
the pathways of the world with the
wrecks of Nations and of men.
The Union is too large for the pa
~tronage it receives. 1t has too large a
crew, and is too heavily freighted, to
