NIX few days SINCE a hickory cane of vener-
able age, and interesting as memorial of the
earliest scene in the great drama which ended
ln the independence of Vermont as well as of
the thirteen united colonies of North America
This cane was brought from Princeton, Mass,
about century since by Abijah Moore, then
of Putney, and bears the mark of the sword
which was raised to kill Noah Sabin. one of
the royalist judges of Cumberland County. Mt
the time of the Westminster Massacre in
ITO. William French had Just been barbar-
ously murdered by the Cruel ministerial tools
of George Ill, and the news spreading ali
over the adjacent country, the patriots seized
their arms and rushed to Westminster 10
avenge his death. They were so infuriated
against every one pertaining to the Kings
authority that it was with difficulty that the
lives even Of the Court were preserved. Capt.
Bellows and some other Of the most judicious
OF the patriots interposed between the minis
terial tools and the popuace, and prevented
general outbreak The warding of of the
blow by this cane probably saved the life of
Sabin. The cane is now the property of av-

A GooD ONE ON 'CHANGE.-A day or two
after the late frost, which gave croakers such
an admirable opportunity to display their lead
ing propensity, two well known dealers in
flour, after days absence, made their appear
ance on Change. They have samples of wheat
which had been nipped by the frost, and bro't
awful reports from the country, the crops of
which they had been exploring. In addition
to free exhibition of the tainted wheat, per-
sonally, they requested the Secretary, after
announcing the telegraphic news, to announce
that they were in possession of the most indis-
putabe evidence of the vast havoc made by
the frost among the grain. The secretary did
so, announcing in tone loud enough to be heard
by all, that Messrs. - had been to the coun-
try, and returned with specimens of the frost
killing wheat, which could be seen on Change.
GLOW much -four have these gentlemen on

1t being generally known that each of the
gentlemen were in possession of large lots of
flour, purchased for speculation, the nub of the
inquiry was observed at once and followed by

Sir Richard Golden, the "sturdy
champion Of English Reform, was in
Dubuque on Friday last, en- route from
Chicago to St. Louis. He was the guest
Of Rufus Spaulding Esq, and visited
the City schools with which he was
equally delighted and astonished.
The Dubuque Erpress &; Herald says
of him:
Sir Richard has arrived at middle
age, is some FIVE feet ten, forid, open
countenance, and the portly figure of .
genuine John Bull. He seems, like
Greedy, to be always inteat!y thought
ful, and listens to ones remarks with an
earnestness almost painful in its inten-
sity. His conversation is deliberate,
impressive, exact, and is expressed in
pure, rugged Saxon. He complimented
the present condition Of the West, and
spoke checringly Of the future.-Re-
