c. We are grateful to quite number
of correspondents for many expressions Of
appreciation within a very recent period,
and we most heartily thank them for The
interest they have manifested in our behalf.
Indeed, we have never felt SO much encour-
agement since we commenced the publica-
ton of the TINES, as at the present time
1t does us much good to read the kind words
of encouragement from our correspondents
and they may rest assured they are appre-
ciated. The circulation of the TINES has
constantly gained since it has been in our
hands, but it has not gained SO fast as though
we had continually employed drummers,
Our present list therefore is almost entirely
voluntary. We do not want forced list.
The gain has been steady, though during
last month more rapid than at any former
period in its history. Some who have stop
ped have come back again. In Grafton
where we had tolerable good circulation
last year, our list has doubled, and good
prospect for more. Our friends there have
done nobly. In Westminster and Putney
our list has handsomely gained. We have
also made gains in Jacksonville, Whining
ton, Athens, &c, and though we already
had a larger list in this town than was ever
obtained before by any other paper, we
have gained at home, and it is a gratifying
feature that our gains have been most where
the TINES is most known. A correspon.
dent in this county says: 81 am pleased to
see you take an independent course on the
slavery question. Your subscribers are
mostly anti-slavery men in this section, bu
not of the Garrisonian stripe, and they lik'
to be posted on the great question which ag
itates the whole country.
Another correspondent in Windsor coun
ty, referring to the sparring between The
TINES and Freeman says: 81 have never
suspected you of pro-slaveryism.
Although the Freeman claims to be the onl,
distinctive anti-slavery paper in the State
yet l see no cause why the TINES SHOULD
not be sustained. The Freeman is a wei
conducted paper, but am not disposed
however, to acknowledge it the oaty anC
the infallible organ of the Free Soil or Re
publican party" This last writer is one
} the old Liberty Guard, and he directs us
, put his name on our subscription bool
t He is a man of most extensive intormatio
}, and has the back bone for the politics
!. times in which We live. To any one wi
: has known us for twelve years past, the i'd
It that we are pro-slavery is perfect absur
n ity, and the Freeman itself does not thir
r any such thing, and probably would n
have meddled with US but for the course
1t the TINES on the State House question.

rhc Next presidential Election.

There has recently been considerable
speculation in certain quarters, principally
among city papers and Washington letter
writers, on the course the Republicans will
be likely to pursue in the Presidential cleo
ton next year. We have our views on this
subject, and know Of no reason why cour.-
try paper cannot express its opinion as early
in the matter as our cotemporaries in the
cities.
First, we think the Republicans should
maintain their organization as formed in
1856. They should not yield to that tenn
porizing spirit which too often prevails.
They should put up man who is bue
representative Of northern sentiment. This
should be done first as matter of princi-
pie, and second as matter of good policy,
for no other man can possibly precait against
the democracy No bidding and no COM
promising, which some, protesting to be in
the Republican interest, can do, will add a
particle of strength to the Republican par
~, on the other hand it would no doubt Sc
riously embarrass it. The Shareholders and
their northern doughfaces will die hard and
we do not know as any such man as we
have indicated could be elected, but if they
could not, then no one could, and to tenn
porize would be simply to roll in dust for
nothing, for the slave power put their trust
not in God nor the Republicans, but in the
democratic party only.
Crittenden Of Kentucky, and Bell OF
Tennessee have been talked of. Both good
men, but their merits we do not now pro-
pose to discuss. They are not Republicans
and do not profess to be, and what reason
is there that the Republicans should go out
of their ranks for a candidate! For the
Republicans to put up any but man who
represents the Anti-slavery sentiment OF the
north will be suicide, as we view it. Mel
Their Bell, nor Crittenden, nor Bolts, MOI
Reynor could carry their own States. Nei,
ther has either one OF them ever uttered al
Anti-slavery sentiment that we ever heart
of; and the moment they are put up W.
lose the distinctive Anti-slavery vote of thu
free States, and with them the States 9
Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Ohic
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, and other
Its of no use to talk further. The INTEL
gent portion of our people are independer
and will vote as they please. Give thel
an Anti-slayery man and they will vote ft
him, otherwise they won't.
Perhaps it will be best to try Fremol
again, but if it be possible we hope to Sc
WILLIAM III. SEWARD the next Presiden
Say Seward, and "ABE" LINCOLN of III
nois, for Vice President. Who can su
gest stronger ticket? And if we car
elect such ticket, pray tell us what opp
sition ticket can be elected!

An immense meieoric stone fell at Clarac,
France, on the eighth Of December. 1t
was so hot when it fell that it could not be
touched. Its fall was preceded bya tel
rife explosion in the air, followed by
shower of sparks and a black cloud, by
which the people were not little frighten-
ed. The stone was black and perfectly cal
cined, and resembled no formation in that
vicinity.

Tragedy in Bellows Falls.
Adultery and Suicide!
Coroner's Inquest.
Full Repor, of the Testimony.

Early on Friday morning our village was
thrown into most unusual state OF excite
ment, by Developments of the most star
Ting nature. On the night before man
named w. ii. Sanders Of Springfield, ran
away with his own brothers wife and had
put up at the Bellows Falls Hotel for the
night, intimating to the landlord their pur-
pose to take the cars in the morning. He
did not give his own name, but gave that OF
the woman with him as Miss Kendall, OF
Weathersfield' His brother having suspi-
cons procured the sheriff at Sprinfeld, and
after visiting Weathersield Bow, Claremont
and Charlestown, came to this place where
the truant couple were found. He was IS
years of age. She is also 10. They were
aroused by the landlord about o'clock in
the morning, and first introduced to the
sheriff and then her husband was called.
| Soon after this both took dose of strich-
nine. He went down stairs a few minutes,
settled his bill, and returned and sat down
| in chair, but soon fell on the floor and
went into spasms, and died in about three
quarters Of an hour from the time he took
the poison. She also went into spasms, but
not so bad as he and will probably recover
During the spasms he would exclaim OF
did this" "You, YOU 1t is thought he
was addressing his brother, but there is nc
particular reason why he should thus have
addressed him, and it may have been mean
for the woman.
We learn that the strychnine was pro
cured some time since, and that an elope
ment was attempted about week ago. A
This time w. ii. Sanders proposed goin,
with his brothers wife to Chester, to a ball
TO which the husband consented. and finall
concluded 10 60 himself, and his presenc
frustrated the object in view. Daniel San
ders, husband of the truant woman, is sal
+ to be very steady industrious hardwork
J ing man, and exceedingly indulgent to hi
wife, for whom he has been ready TO max
: any sacrifice, and within a short period ha
y purchased for her largely in dresses an

GOvEHoR's MESSAGE.

HARRIsBURG, Pa, Jan. 5.-The Governors mes
sage states that the finances of the State are in
a most satisfactory condition; receipts Of the
treasury for the fiscal year, over 81 600 900;
penditures SO, 100000; on hand over three-quar-
tiers Of a million; entire debt nearly $4,000
900; it recommends q great reduction of the
public debt towards its extinguishment speak
ing of the sale of the main line it says, after
the contract for the sale of the Delaware divis-
ION was entered into, he was informed that higher
prices were offered by responsible persons, but
in his opinion it was too late; the early compile
ton of the Sunburry and Erie r. r. is very
encouraging; the II, 900 public schools cost 3d.
00O, 900; regarding the banks, recommends n
careful inquiry into the present condition Of the
Tioga county and Crawford county Banks, aud
Banks of Shamatin and reiterates the opinion
expressed in his former message of no further
increase of banks and banking capital under the
present system, he informs the legislature that
he cannot approve any bills charteriRg any adj
ditional banks, without radical change in the
system; recommends certificate of loan issued
by the general government or commonwealth, q
value TO be fixed upon, with power to require
additional deposits of security, loans depreci-
ate in the market; the present condition OF the
revenues oil the general government demonstrate
the urgent necessity of increased duties upon
fOreigo importations and goods; endorses the
views of the President, relative to the change
proposed by specific duties. concluding with
Kansas, he regrets to say that under various
pretenSes, the sacred franchises was virtually
withheld from the people of that territory; re-
garding the theory that henceforward it be the
duty OF Congress to protect slavery in the terri
tories, which extraordinary assumption isalleg-
ed to exist in the decision Of the Supreme
Court, he says he is yet TO be convinced that
any such construction can be fairly given to
their action, in the bred Scott case, such doc
trine, no matter how sanctioned, will shake the
very pillars of our constitutional fabric.
