FRANKLIN COUNTY.

The Greenfield Gazette relates some affect
! ing incidents of the sickness and death OF
Mrs Benjamin. the daughter of Mr.. Eastman
of that place Mrs. b. died on the 1st inst,
little less than 20 years of age. On Wednes-
| day she desired her little twin sisters to sing
the beautiful ard touching song, beginning
"Take me home to die, mother" which they
did, as soon as their emotions would permit
Soon after, she sung herself the equally touch
ing song, 81 want to be an angel" Thursday
afternoon she wished to have her only daugh-
ter, about two months old, offered to God in
baptism. The family were gathered around
the bed of the young mother, and affecting re-
sponses were made in the faint murmurs of
her voice, revealing the struggles Within
The next morning she "fell asleep" to wake IN
Heaven.
The criminal business before the March
term of the Franklin common pleas was all
disposed of in less than day, last week. The
unusually small amount of criminal business
at this term, the Gazette attributes in great
measure to the efficient means employed for
the suppression of the liquor traffic.
The mate of the great white Arctic Owl"
whose capture and death at Ashfield we chron-
icled week or two since, was shot at the same
place, by John Knowlton last Thursday. 1t
measured full five feet across its extended
wings. Both of them have been sent to Prof
Clark of Amhurst College for preservation.
A crowd collected at Greenfield, on Tues
day, to see Bratteboro' man eat dinner on
dry goods box in front of the Mansion House.
Both the Mansion and the American houses
were recently closed by their proprietors, be-
cause the people would not let them sell rum.
A Singular Fight.-A few days ago couple
of large hawks were seen engaged with beak
and claw in savage combat near Mr.. George
Gould's, in North Bernardston, when, to end
the conflict, Mr.. Gould discharged musket at
them, killing one and wounding the other.
The one killed measured upwards of four feet
from the tip of one wing to the other.
A Bostonian has offered S25, in two pre-
miums, to the persons who shall set out, the
present season, the largest number of sugar
naples, by the side of the roads in Franklin
County. An example worthy of imitation.
The Franklin Agricultural Society will hold
their next annual fair at Greenfield, on Tues
dap and Wednesday, Sept. 18th and 9th.
The annual address is expected to be delivered
by Gov. Banks.
The house of Jonathan Morrison, on Huckle
Hill, in Bernardston, was burned on Friday.
Thus a poor man is made homeless.
The snow has nearly disappeared in Frank
lin County, and the roads are becoming rapid
ly settled.

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.

The additional returns of the vote in Con-
necticut fully confirm the first report. The
Republicans have won a great victory, which
is more complete than was generally expected.
They have been successful, too, in the elections
just held in several places. They have carried
Michigan by ten thousand majority, and they
have triumphed in st. Louis by the largest
majority ever secured in that city by any party.
This result in ST. Louis is very significant
and satisfactory. Last August, the most des-
perate effort was made by the slave power to
prevent Mr.. Blair's reelection to Congress;
and, as large majority of the voters in the
district were Republicans, it became necessary
for his enemies to resort to the most atrocious
frauds. Border ruffianism, which had done its
worst in Kansas, gave lessons to ambitious
rascality in st. Louis; and such ballot-box
stufing and fraudulent voting as followed, has
seldom been heard of or imagined. Mr.. Blair,
supported by great majority of the voters,
was deprived of a certificate of election. That
city is no more Republican now than it was
then. At that time, the result of honest voting
would have been precisely what it is now.
The boldest, most active, and most infuen-
tial section of the Republican party in the st.
Louis district, consists of naturalized German
voters; and these German voters constitute
very important section of the Republican par
ty in all the Western States. There are, in
fact, but few localities at the West where the
party can succeed without their help. These
Germans are intelligent and earnest, quite too
much SO to be led away by political shams and
catch-words. They are invincibly opposed to
slavery, and will be with us in 1860, if we do
not drive them from us by daubing the party
with the slime of dead and rotten Know Moth
ingism.
All the sights indicate that the Republicans
can have everything their own way, in 1860,
if they will They can make their principles
triumphant and elect the next President.
Providence gives them the opportunity, and
nothing but their own folly can make their
success impossible.

Dr. CHEEvER ON SLAvERY.-At the solicit
TAXATION of many eminent citizens of New
York, Rev. DR.. Cheever has consented to re-
peat in the great Hall of the Union, Cooper
Institute, one or more of the lectures recently
given before more limited audiences in his
own church. The following extract from
letter addressed to him by John Jay, Ex-Gov.
Clark, Edwin H. Chaplin, Henry Ward Beech
er, and many others shows how deep an inter
est is felt in the Bible argument against
slavery:
Without having heard or carefully read all
you have preached or written on this sub
ject, we know generally that your labors have
eminently tended to establish these truths
First, that the word of God in no degree coun-
tenances any system, usage or institution es-
sentially resembling that slavery which exists
throughout large portion of our own coun-
try Secondly, that Christianity is essentially,
vitality, irreconcilably, at war with such slav-
cry, and that any true and pure Church is
necessarily its antagonist Thirdly, that it is
the imperative duty of the organized Chris
tianity of our land to war against such slavery,
systematically, untiringly, uncompromisingly,
SO long as the iniquity shall continue to exist,
We therefore, in testimony of our profound
appreciation of our labors and sacrifices in the
cause of Christian Purity and National Right
eousness, respectfully invite you to repeat, at
such early day as your convenience may sug-
gest one or more of your recent diseourses on
the subjects just indicated, in the great Hall of
the Cooper Institute, where some thousands of
our fellow-ctizens may share with us the in
terest and profit of hearing you.

10 A report obtained currency in the
Northern papers, that citizen of Massachu-
settst with requisition from Gov. Banks, for
fugitive from justice in this State, had been
threatened with lynch law at Holly Springs, in
Mississippi, and expelled from the State. This
gave papers of certain class amongst us,
good opportunity to display their nationality,
and to prove, entirely to their own satisfaction,
that this indignity was put upon Massachu-
sets, because of the alleged unreasonable
ground taken by her, on the slavery question.
1t now turns out, that the expelled officer was
citizen of Pennsylvania, which has, hitherto,
been the most obsequious and subservient tool
of the slave power, Of all the free States, with
requisition from the Governor of that State.
This damages the logic of these papers, most
essentially.

GENEROUS Proposition OF PROFESSOR
AGAssIz.-The members of the Legislature
who voted for the grant to the Geological
Museum of Professor AgassiZ, will have re-
newed assurance that the aid has been wisely
given, when they read the following letters in
which the learned gentleman offers the free
use of his laboratory aud his counsel to as
many teachers of public schools who desire to
become familiar with natural history, as the
rooms will allow.-Boston Advertiser.
BosToN, April 2, 1859.
Ny Dear SRI enclose copy of letter
which have received from Prof Agassiz.
The request made at its close seems to JUS
tify its publication; and l feel also that so
noble and generous proposition should not
be withheld from the people of the State and
country. Your obedient servant,
GEORGE S. Boutwell,.
Hon. Charles Hale, Boston.
My Dear Sn:-It is my intention to do my
full share in promoting the study of Nature in
this part of the world. What is most needed
at present to difuse taste for these studies, is
to prepare competent teachers. Thus far 1
have been limited to admitting few students
into my private laboratory want of room
has presented me from doing more, but as
soon as the contemplated Museum-building is
erected, every thing Of that kind will become
easy, and it will give me the greatest pleasure
to admit to my laboratory any teacher con-
nected with the public schools of the State,
DESTROYS of fitting himself to teach Natural
History, and to give him such information as
can, free of any charge, during as long or as
short period as he may choose,-setting no
other limit to their admission than the capabil-
tiles of the rooms devoted to the instruction of
pupils As hope the building may be erected
during the summer, wish you would inform
all the teachers of the State of these my in
tentions, as soon as you fined it convenient
Very truly yours, L. AGAssIz.

FAsf DARN addition to the music from
the Creation, we are to have on Thursday
evening selections from Mozart's Twelfth
Mass. We may expect "Qui Tollis"-who
talketh away the sins of the worldly Mr..
Benchley and Mrs. Hill; ''Et Incarnatus-and
was made flesh, was crucified and buried-solo
tenor, by Mr.. McConville; "Benedictus" =
blessed is He who cometh-the quartette by
Mrs. Doane, Miss Metcalf, Mr.. Stocking, and
Mr. Lawrence. Also the choruses, "Gloria,"
"Sanctus," "Agnus Dei'-Lamb of God who
taketh away the sins of the world and Ozone
Nobis"-grant US thy peace.
The Catholic Church has been fortunate in
having enlisted in her behalf some of her most
gifted musical sons-her leaders having shown,
in justice let it be said, true appreciation of
their works. This particular mass, if not the
first, is one of the finest ever written but were
we unaware of its rank, the name of its author
would excite an Interest," man whom Haydn
pronounced "the greatest composer existing"
We have reasons, however, for thanksgiving
that the arts are Independent of time, of sect,
and of nation.
1t is the mind in its highest development,
and that only we think of, when we see the
works of Phidias, or Angelo of Raphael, or
da Vinci; or read Dante, or Milton or hear
Beethoven or Mendelssohn. If, influenced at
all by other considerations, we will ask most
earnestly for that to which we have not been
accustomed, and require the very best of its
kind. In music, we would say, "Let us hear
it just as it left the hands of its author, with
the very words, if it had any, to which he
welded it." This the Mozart Society will do
at this concert. This they always should do
1t would be ludicrous for us to laugh at the
bigotry which forbids children learning the
yankee tune" of Old Hundred and then OBJ
ject to the music of mass, because it is used
in the Catholic worship, or because its words
are in the only tongue ever used in that SER
vice.

70 The absurdities that people are often
led into by bringing everything that is suscep-
tibie of it, to a mathematical test, regardless of
contin.gsnt circumstances, are often very ludi-
N'tn " 49, -. q - hoc.. -
crous. One of these cases ~ no" pe g1ere us, in
a calculation which is going the rounds of the
papers, in one of which, it is stated as follows /:
GROWTH OF New YoRK.-In 1856 the pop
ulation of New York city was 629,904, and Of
the State 1856, 2l2 the ratio of increase since
1870 was 46 per cent for the city, and 80 per
per cent for the whole State. On such basis
of calculations, 'the Courier and Enquirer fig
ures out population of 4,766,369 for the city
and l6. 462,O65 for the State, at the beginning
of the next century.
The perfect absurdity of this calculation
may instantly be seen, so far as relates to prac-
tical results, by carrying this calculation lit
tie further. On the same basis of calculation
It will be found that the population of the city,
in 1915, would be more than hirty-sir million,
and that of the State seventy-eigh million A
similar calculation on the population of Wor.
cester, based on the increase from 1916 to
1866, would figure us out a population of some
millions, before the close Of the life of some
who are already born

SUPERINTENDENT OF ScHooLs.-we have
pleasure in announcing the election of Rev. J.
ID. z. Jones as Superintendent of Public
Schools, by a very creditable vote. His
term Of Office will commence on the first of
May. Since the resignation of Mr.. Bushnell
q year ago, though there have been frequent
and general expressions of desire to have the
Office filed, il has remained vacant, chiefly for
want Of suitable and competent candidate
who would command the hearty and cordial
co operation Of his associates in the care of the
Schools. Mr.. Jones possesses eminent quail
ncaiions for the duties of the Office, has large
acquaintance with our schools, and thorough
knowledge of their wants We do not doubt
that under his supervision they will be inspired
with new life, and abundantly reward the wise
judgement Of the School Committee.

BUYING FOR CAsH.-A boot and shoe
house in New York, one of whose partners re-
sides in Grafton, bought, in the month of
March, very large purchases for their trade,
partly on time, but mostly for cash, payable
on delivery. The goods are supposed to have
safely reached their destination, but no money
came back in return. The creditors, visiting
New York, found the store empty, except an
lrishman in charge. Among the losers, we
hear of a large Spencer house, to the amount
of $4,000; two Webster firms-one for $500
and one for $1,000; and about $1,000 more in
Oxford, to different firms The gross amount
will not be less than SIS, Transcript

SEIZURE OF LIoUoRs.-An important seiz.
ure of liquors was made at Springfield, on Fri
day afternoon, upon warrant sworn out by
Assistant Marshal Parmenter and the City
Marshal, against d. ID. Warren, a manufac-
turer and wholesale dealer in that line, whose
establishment in Lyman street was effectually
cleared of its contraband contents. The IL
quors were contained in twenty barrels and
various demijohns &c. The whole quantity
included in this seizure was near six hundred
and fifty gallons, all of which, as far as exam
ined, is declared to be of the very worst grade.
