The Races.

On account of the rain the Stanstead
races did not come off as advertised, and
on that account there viii probably be q
great lumber of horses from Canada at
the horse show at Barton next week; in
fact, number are already entered for
the premiums, and some fast trotting may
be looked for. The Fair Ground Com
pany have made extensive arrangements
in order to have the show come off to
the satisfaction of all. Without doubt,
we think, there win be the finest show of
horses that has been seen in this part of
the state for number of years. There
viii be two delegations of colts, the off
spring of Messrs. Ford and Baldwin's
horses, each delegation headed by its sire,
which will be quite an attraction TO the
friends of each horse. Mr.. Baldwin S
advertisement will be found in another
column, which shows quite plainly that
he is not going to let Mr.. Ford's horse
bear of all the honors of the day. Or
cans County can furnish as many good
horses as any other county in the state
Let them appear at the show.

ENGLISH IDEA OF YANKEE Or

ENGLISH IDEA OF YANKEE OPER-
ATIvEs.-According TO the Manchester
(Eng) Guardian, one of the speakers
at the meeting of the operatives in Berk
eley drew the following extraordinary
sketch of the way our operatives are
supposed to manage things:
What kind of factory operative was
the Yankee? When a Yankee wanted
employment he put on suit of good
black cloth, and stylish shirt, and with
a cigar in his mouth, and his hands in his
pockets, he went TO the factory, slapped
the master on the shoulder, and said,
Well, old boss, do you want help to-
day? The boss turned round, knowing
his customer, and said, viii just look
and see.' He looked over his book and
said, think we can do with a help ;
what can you do 2 The man replied,
Il can superintend three looms but if
you will wait till / have smoked my
cigar, ! will tell you He then crossed
his legs, pulled his smoke in the eyes Of
the master, winked his eyes and enjoyed
himself. After smoking bis cigar be
would say, Now then, boss, ! can take
four looms. What viii you pay me P
1t must be a regular thing, otherwise we
shall have difficulty Difficulty meant
that the Yankee operative would take
his bowie knife and bury about three
inches of it in his masters ribs. We
did not do so in England he mentioned
| it to show the independence of the
Yankee. The employer said, Well
tlvs me 1ur, i tIr;;ni. yo.. will be e>Ila e
earn about f2 week The operative
then said, can't you give me few dol
lars over? mo; it will depend upon
your skill; if you are good weaver
you may make something more Tie
operative made a note of it, and said, =
Now, boss, you must stick TO your en-
gagement, otherwise there will be diff
icuIty.'''

The districts in this table, having the
largest number of scholars, are the vii
lage districts, while those having the
smallest numbers, are the outside dis
tricts. An inspection of this table will
show that. the average attendance upon
the schools. in the five largest districts
taken together, is Is 2-5 per cent, the
attendance in two of the districts run
ming as low as Is per cent, while the
average attendance in the six smallest
districts is So 1-2 per cent, or more than
twice as large. The table also shows
tie very large amounts drawn by the
larger districts and the disparity between
them and the smaller in this respect, dis
trict No. 2, with an average attendance
of 45, drawing, under the old law $123,
while district No. Ia, with an average
attendance of A drew $248, or more
than twice as much. 1t also appears
from the table that had the public money
been distributed as under the new law,
upon the statistics of last year, every one
of the remote districts would have re-
ceived more, and every one of the vii
lage districts less than they really did.
1t is true that the statistics of any one
town do not show, from the effect in that
town, what will be the effect in other
towns, or that results in other towns will
accord with the result in any given town;
so too it is true that we have no reason
to know that, as general thing, the re-
suits in particular town will very ma
terially differ from results in towns gen.
orally. The statistics of another year
win dissipate all doubts, and have no
doubt viii point out the present inclina-
ton to suspect the new law of operating
10 the disadvantage Of the weaker dis
tricts, as the most singular feature of the
history of the new act.

MURDER AT MANCHESTER, N. H.
Manchester. n. H., Sept. 23.---This
morning at 1-2 O'Clock, woman, about
25 years of age, by the name of Bridget
Riley, was found in shed in the Lover
part of this city, horribly murdered, her
head cut and bruised, her throat choked,
and her body terribly disfgured. She
had evidently been killed but few
hours. Since then she has bloated great
ly. The blood stood in pool on the
ground. The first ARRAY occurred in a
privy adjoining. The building, in the
rear of which she was found, is large and
occupied by Scotch and Irish, who knew
nothing about it till this morning. This
woman has boarded at a respectable
house on the Amoskeag Corporation for
the past five weeks and worked for the
Amoskeag Mills. She was turned away
from her boarding place last Tuesday
for being drunk.
On Wednesday night she slept in the
lookup, and was let out yesterday after
noon. She told at her boarding house
that she had been married; that her hus-
band, by whom she had two children,
had been dead four years that one of
her children was dead and the other lived
with her husbands friends in Providence.
The Mayor had her body carried to the
station house, and w. L. Lane, justice,
in the absence of coroner, has COM
menced a jury of inquest, who common
ced their labors at 10 o'clock this fore
noon. This woman gave her name to
the officers as Rosanna Howard. She
! has many aliases. She worked for three
years at the Stark Mills for G. C. Gil
more, and called he name Maria Royal.
No clue to the murderer has yet been
found.

g. The Richmond Wing is insisting
on the necessity of overthrowing the
Democracy in that State and throughout
the Union, on the ground that the slave

In recent article it says:
" Free-soilism, scantily yelled and
slightly colored-when yelled or colored
at all-holds high head in many of the
slave-holding States. 1t is quite bold in
Western Virginia, defiant in Maryland,
omnipotent in Delaware, does about az

HnRR1R1R CASE OF sELr.Mur1LA-

HORRIBLE Ease OF SELF-MuIiLA-
of the most horrible
cases of selfmutilation we have ever
heard or read of occurred at the
Rolling Mill Of Irwin, Linn, Mccoy
& Co., Milesburgh, Center County,
Pa, on Wednesday of last week
The particulars of the case, as given
by the Hollidaysburgh Pa.) Stand
ard, are about these: A young man.
by the name of Aaron rely, who had
recently been pardoned out of the
penitentiary, where he was confined
for horse stealing, had been hanging
around the rolling mill for several
days. Nothing unusual was observ-
ed in his demeanor. On Wednes-
day morning, soon after the works
were started, he deliberately walk
ed to the large iron shears, and be-
fore any one was aware of his de-
sign, placed his arms between the
blades, both of which were COM
pletely severed about midway be-
tween the hands and the elbows =
The horrible act was performed so
cody and deliberately that no sus-
picion was entertained of his design.
When questioned as to his motive
for the selfmutilation, he replied
that "his hands had been the means
of sending him to the penitentiary
once, and he was determined they
should never get him into trouble
again" He was taken to neigh
boring house and physician sent
for, who re-amputated both his arms
AN operation which he is said to
have borne with a stoicism and in
difference that astonished all who
witnessed it. He is recovering
rapidly, and manifests the utmost
un-concern for the loss of both hii
arms.

root of our souls. Music sooths us,

know not how; it is a language by
itself, just as perfect in its way as

justas blessed.-Kimgszey's Sermons.
