In Bellows Falls, on Saturday of last
week, the body of a woman was seen float
ing down the Connecticut river, which was
soon learned to be the wife OF William
Howard who had thrown herself into the
river for the purpose Of committing suicide.
We understand that she has before at
tempted Ii ,r life. The eason is not known.
On Saturday afternoon the dwelling
house, barn and shed Of j. BRbcock, in
Bellows Falls were consumed by fire, with
about $50 worth of furniture. There was
an insurance of $3.50, in the Farmers Mu-
tual.
The people Of some Of the mountain
towns, who have suffered more than is
bear-able, by the ~depradations Of Bruin,
are after him with a sharp stick. We
learn from the Bellows Fails Times, that
the people Of Ludlow and Plymouth were
to have a e hunt on Saturday last and
from the Herald, that there was to have
been one in Chittenden yesterday. The
Herald calls upon all good citizens to
"RALLr, and 90 forward with firm and un-
daunted step to meet the common enemy
the bear-barous foe Let the war be
carried into Africa" or deep into the
mountain businesses, and let the bear be
6ear-dead in his den."
The democratic State Committee have
called a nominating convention at Bellows
Falls on the eight day of July.
John Hawkins is now lecturing in
Windham county.
The news received from New Orleans,
during the week is of a startling charac-
ter. 1t appears, that for a long time the
state Of society in that city has been bad,
crimes of every kind have been committed
without c%oncealment, or punishment, and
security to life and property, seem to have
been triAing indeed. This having been
suffered as long as it vas siderable, tho
people arose in their might, and formed a
vigilance committee" something after
the San Francisco plan, took possession of
the Arsenal, and otherwise strengthened
themselves, and called upon the friends Of
law and order for support. The revolu-
ton was at first resisted by the Mayor,
but by the latest accounts it appears to
have been quite successful.
Accounts received from Utah during
the week, are less favorable to peace than
we had reason to hope for. 1t is now
said that Gov. Cumming has been expell-
ed from Salt Lake, and that the army was
about to proceed, with n prospect Of re-
s%istance. 1t is possible this may prove in
correct, but if Brigham has really played
possum, we shall look for some sickening
accounts from that quarter in the course
Of the summer
Some of the Southern papers give
accounts of an invention by which all their
cotton is to be spun into yarn before it
leaves the plantation,-by the same power
that gin the cotton, which they fatter
themselves is to give boundless prosperity
to the South, prove the ruin Of England,
and materially injure New England. 1t
certainly is a consumatior devoutly to be
wished, but we fear, not very confidently
hoped for.
The N. Y. Central R. R. Co. has set.
tied with the most of the sufferers by the
late accident. The damage to the company
will be about 100000.
The U. s. Court at Windsor has ad.
j%ourned till Julv-a good time to take 48
jurymen from their hay-felds.

Of the new State House are now complete;
the corner stone of the granite uuderpin.
ing to the new Jail was put in its place
last week and the substantial wall for
the new Brick School House and Acade-
my Building is some twelve feet high on
one.half the ground, which makes lively
times among the stone, brick and lumber
workers.--Fresnan.
The notorious DR.. Howard, of Brad
ford has again been arrested. 1t appears
that some weeks since he was arrested on
the same charge, and as these arrests had
become rather frequent oflate, be resisted
the sheriff by drawing a pocket pistol.
For this piece Of indescretion he was ar
rested on Thursday evening last, and ex.
amined before a justice on Friday morning
and held to bail in the sum Of $1,000
somewhat heavier than on the other &C.
casion. His former bondsrsn not being
ready to help him SO readily this time be
was taken to Chelsea Jail on Saturday.
