Our fremen were out again Wednesda,

Our fremen we're out again Wednesday
sening, playing through $50 feet hose and
nd ran stream up Us feet Our fire
Dmpany with their new engine are getting
pder good Roadway, and we think, it
S%ould be no less pleasing to our citizens
Z IAN to themselves to see them have uni
prm. One could be got without very
nuch expense and we would suggest the
dea of holding a leyee for their benefit,
~ proceeds of which to be expended for
IA purpose.
The tea party of the Congregational So
ETY. at Wightman's Hall, Wednesday
evening, was pleasant affair, and the re-
|ceipts amounted to $3.50.
Judge Collamer would have attended our
County Convention, but for misunder-
landing as to the day it was held--he sup
cosing it to be the 9Th, instead of the 9TH.
nc was at Brattleboro and on Wednesday
nfternoon addressed the Brattleborians on
he politics of the day. He made very
excellent speech and was warmly applauded.
Il Hon. VIM. II. Seward, Thurlow Weed,
]. Watson Webb, spent few hours in this
Village last week. They were on their
way to Windsor, where they were the
quests of William M. Evarts, at his coun-
try residence. Several of our citizens paid
their respects to the distinguished visitors,
md passed an hour or two Of very pleas
q social conversation. Nr. Seward on
eing asked in relation TO the Union move
ment in New York against Lincoln, replied
1hat-"the more they unite the more they
Non't carry carry it"
The immaculate candidate for school
eommittee, and democratic writing master
~ Walpole, is writing diatribes from that
lace to the Keene Republican, the Doug
- organ of Cheshire County. We are
atifed that his delicate allusion to visit
Ade by us TO that place, has been turned
b such good political account, and rejoice
fther that il got into his first article, other
sc we never should have enjoyed the
6enefts of his advertisement, for latterly
bis communications have so muck the re-
semblance of the flag end" of yeast bot
lie that his own organ refuses to publish
any more of them. We understand the
banner of the Walpole democracy now, is a
ssx.hogshead tapped at both ends with this
celebrated writing master preaching tenn
perance at the bung-holel
We have received well written note
from John Connor, in reply to an attack
npon him in last weeks Aryass. John is an
negligent Irish boy Of some Is or l6 years
N age, and his offence consists in his strong
5Impathies for Douglas, hostility to Brock
i3idge, and cheering for the former at the
laland House sereaade last week. The
Avyus charges him with being disposed TO
nm and mischief" John desires to say
- 'sthe charge is wiifully and maliciously
1alse," and mo gentleman would make such
acharge against boy" and though he re-
gets that such a charge should be made
against him personally, yet he believes it
OF no consequence, taking into considera-
ton that the Argus "has slandered the most
xespectable citizens in Bellows Falls. -
5ehn then dips into politics, and denounces
80 Breckenridge party of this village as "a
handful of split-tail democrat"
Upod that for boy. As before remarked
1abn is a boy of more than ordinary intel
Ngence, and unless something can be proved
against him beyond his political sentiments,
should he be encouraged and not denounced
We make this remark at the instance Of
several citizens who say he is not addicted
- dissipation as has been charged, but is
spoken of by his employers as faithful and
reliable. Having thus noticed young Con-
ncTs case, we say word farther.
The Argus of last week says "severe
1hings of those who cheered for Lincoln
I'D Douglas at the serenade. Now we
<z<e opposed to any disturbance or cheering
at political meetings, by those who do moi
gree with those who get up the meetings
1T in this instance we think there was 9
1ry reasonable excuse. At the Island
ouse serenade there was quite crowd, 8
~ great majority, three-fourths, of whom
IRE for Lincoln or Douglas. The speak
boldly and unblushingly claimed the
pwd as being there to honor Breckin
Re and the slave code democracy. There
Be many strangers stopping at the ISLAND
use, who were astonished that such
I'D could be got together in this place
! The slave democracy, and it was certain
1tting that the crowd thus placed in
= position, should set themselves Alright
lch they did in a manner not misunder

Q. A. Fairbanks Of this village, ha
