PRocToRsy1LLE.-On the 18th inst.
an Irishman and an EngIishman walked
out toward Chester, and as they testified,
came across man (they didn't know his
name, of course) with team, who offered
them liquor. Pat and John Bull liked the
" creatber SO well that they borrowed a
vial of that same to carry home with them
The consequence was that there was trouble
in the household,and Pat went to " cleaning
his gun" and calling for powther," with
which to defend himself, but Constable C.
f. Barrel took possession of the parties
including the gun-and kept them till the
next morning at Q o'clock, when on COM
plant of Grand Juror Morse, Justice Skin
ner fined both Irishman and Englishman
s. each, and costs. Respondents paid their
fines and declared their intention never to
be caught thus again.

no Railroad Men!

Gentlemen Most Of you are as sound
as the soundest on the great question Of
freedom and national politics, and it is true
also, that most of you do not attend our
elections because it is announcement with the
running of the trains. But this year we
hope TO see you at tae polls, and we have
thus reminded you Of the day Of election
a week beforehand, that you may make
calculations accordingly, and help to swell
the vote for old Abe's cause, on Tuesday,
September 4th. If by circumstances you
cannot get round in season to vote for town
representative, that box being turned at 3
o'clock, remember your vote is needed on
State and national tickets, and that you will
be privileged to vote till o'clock, which is
altogether of most Importance. Let us
have one long pull for the right altogether !

Vermont Election.
Tuesday, September 18th, 1860
Are You Going 10 the Polls /,

Republicans of Vermont In conse.
quence of the general and characteristic
apathy which prevails in our ranks, there
Is real danger that our vote will be SO
small on the day of election, that we will
be subjected TO the charge of indifference
as TO the presidential contest and especial
ly will it be claimed by the democracy, who
will emphasize and proclaim it in the close
States as evidence that there is a turning
tide against the Republicans, and thus dis
hearten our friends in other States where
they are obliged to get out every voter TO
secure victory.
Now, shall such story 20 abroad--or
rather shall there be any foundation for
such one? VIII not the Republicans of
Vermont, at least once in four years wake
up and come out to the polls, and show the
tremendous majority which we possess?
The Republican press of Vermont even.
partake of this apathy which has become
so chronic--and we take our share of the
blame with the rest. They are decidedly
lazy, and cool as the North pole. But there
i, yet another week before election. VIII
they not earnestly urge upon the Repub-
hcan voters the duty and importance of a
full vote on the first Tuesday in Septem-
Der! Will not the committee in the seve-
raj towns see to it at once that they have
some kind OF an organization? A poo,
one even will be better than none. Have ;
caucus and make some talk. In man,
towns there is generally scrub race be
tween Republicans for town representa-
tive, the democracy not being strong enoug
to make any fight for themselves. T
such towns we say come out and fight you
scrub race ON representative e, and then unit
and throw your whole force for our Stat
and national tickets. There ii will cour
and tell for freedom, and in our sister State
will carry terror TO our enemies, and 10
TO our friends.
Will not few Republicans in ever
town, take it upon themselves to do It'll
work for the cause in which we all feel
common interest? Election day is near {
hand, and there is no time to be lost.

Historical sketches lap,imaf,u

In presenting No, y Of Historical Sketch
es, the compiler, in correcting list of rep
resentatiyes, took occasion to say that he
was most happy in rendering thanks to th'
4 friend who kindly notified him Of the errol
and who placed in his possession the docu
ments by which he was enabled to correc
it. AT the same time, it was distinctly
stated that we would thank 0ny one who
would be so kind as TO give us aid or intor-
nation which might in any way assist us in
makmgup the history of Rockingham We
would at this time, in addition to what we
have before said, remark, that all communi-
cations or cral conversations having for
their subject the development of any truths
relative TO Rockingham, its early settlers
and its institutions, if left with the Editor
of the Bellows Falls Times, A. n. Swain,
Esq, will reach the individual who has I'M
dertaken the MankleSS task of recovering
from the dust and rubbish among which it
has remained buried for so many years,
some portions of the history of the town.
We seldom attain as high as we wish to
reach in our setting out in any pursuit; the
imagination is more extensive than our real
power; it holds out rainbow hopes, which
still rccede as we 90 onward yet we would
not turn back, for though often disappoint-
ed, we expect to secure some Of the real
benefits which lie scattered in our way
and the farther we go on, the more of the
reality we become possessed Of.
The events of the last hundred years
have wrought great changes in the condi-
ton of this country. In making our ex-
aminations, we find that the old channels
are not now as easily found as formerly
they may have been, because of improve
ments above and around them; but they
still flow as deeply and purely as ever, and
will continue 10 reward those who sound
them to their depths, with the increasing
measure of their beauty and their wealth
The withered tree and the exhausted foun-
tain may be deserted, but both will be
watched with care and gratitude, while the
one yields its fruits, and the other pours
forth its fertility for all of nature which is
capable of being rendered happier or more
useful by them.
We are in search of historical facts and
we wish to divest them even of the beaut-
full fabrics of poetry, except in cases where
by connecting the beauties and destinations
which romance may add without reforming
the original, We may give more lasting
and deeper interest to the dry details of
history. We have not any private, politi-
cal or religious are to grind we are not
in the pay or interest Of any clique or par
ty or sect; neither does our bread and but
ter become thicker or thinner in consequence
of anything we may say. We do not claim
that our articles are beyond criticism or that
they will be found free from error. We
are aware that

CAVENDISH gave only 125 republi-
can votes last year. We suppose there
must be near 800 of them in town, and con
sequently she has an excellent vote TO gain
from. Will not the Republicans of Cav
endish come out this year? you can easily
give US $50. Do it!
LUDLOW last year did even worse
than Cavendish, for she has larger popu-
lation and cast but 101 votes fer the repub-
lican ticket, thus the stay-at-homes had
very large majority. Bring them out on
the 4th.
BRIDGEWATER ought to be redeem
ed this year, and we trust our republican
friends there will have a candidate sound
enough on the Montpelier question, to do it.
ATHENS.--We are inclined to believe
the good people of Athens will render a
good account. They have rs good repub-
iiean voters in town, and nearly all of them

TY OF CITIzENs.-T TIE Mo7risto,gn CTenn)
hteljgeacer of last week contains the fol-
lowing narrative:
We have rarely heard Of more dia-
bolical and fiendish outrage than the one
perpetrated yesterday, eight miles above
this place, and two miles above Russell
vile, in Hawkins County. 1t seems that a
man or rather demon, by the name of
Joshua Ballard, armed himself with scythe
blade, and started from his home with the
intention Of numbering some person. The
first man he encountered was Mr.. Bew-
ley but it appears that Bewley escaped
without material injury. He then went TO
the house of Mr.. Horner, and told him
that he intended to kill him, and commenced
cutting him with his scythe blade. Homer
received eight severe wounds upon the
head and other parts Of his person. We
are informed that he cannot possibly sur
vive. Ballard then went TO the house of a
Mrs. Robinson; she saw him coming, and
closed the door Ballard, however, broke
''~ NOoA uOhH' went III, hauled nGr from
under the bed, and inflicted several severe
wounds upon her. She by some means es-
capped from him. Not satisfied, he com
menced upon two Of her children, inaicting
several gashes upon their bodies. By this
time several of the neighbors collected TO
take him, but Ballard swore he would not
be taken, and started in run for his home
he was holly pursued, however, and barely
reached his house and secreted himself in
the cabin loft when he was fired upon
through the cracks between the logs. There
was bag Of cotton in his loft, which he
used 10 screen himself from the bullets

says that some seventy five shots were fred
before he was Killed He stood and cursed
his pursuers The fell dead. His mother also
stood in the yard during the time, swearing
she would send the whole party to HI be-
fore she was done with them. 1t appears
That Ballard was desperate character---ad-
dieted to strong drink and all kinds of dis
sipailon. He was the champion of the
neIghborhood, and most men were afraid TO
encounter him single-handed. We saw
hlm engaged in a row with the Irish in this
place some five years ago, and he made a
party oil about twenty leave the street.

MYLTERIoUs DEATH OF AN Error
DAUGHTER-,SuPposed Outrage and Mr..
der.--A correspondent of The Lfiea IN.
" Herald writes that the village of Mo-
hawk has been thrown into great excite
ment by the finding of the dead body of a
young girl in the canal at that place. The
circumstances, as they appeared on the
Coroner's inquest, are thus narrated:
" Abbey Kelley Bowe, daughter of O.
A. Bowe,, deceased, and formerly editor of
THE Herk5mer Journal, left Frankfort on
the night OF the 10th inst, for Herkimer ON
the cars. Arriving at that place about 81
she there took the omnibus for Mohawk
arriving there, she got out at the tavern TO
60 TO her clearinghouse which was the last
seen of her alive. At about III o'clock
her screams were heard by neighbors liy-
ing not far distant from the spot where her
body was found She was also heard hv
some boatmen who saw her struggling in the
water, and went TO her assistance, but too
late to save her. A boat was obtained. and
her body recovered in about two hours az
ter her screams we're heard. 1t is stated
that the boaimen saw two men leaving the
spot in their shirt sleeves soon after her
screams were heard"
Mr.. Bowe, father of the victim above
mentioned, was formerly assistant editor of
the RsP's5ticaH at Brattleboro, and after
wards published a paper for a while at
Bradford.
