BURLINGTON:
FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL Is 1860.
THE SENATE's ELEPHANTS.

The I. 5. Senate is getting quite park OF
elephants on its hands, and the members gen
orally, we suspect, wish they had been in less
of hurry when they started the business Of
catching such costly animals. Even Sena-
tor Mason himself, who started the hunt.
must begin to feel very much like fool, by
this time. Notwithstanding the amount of
arrogant obstinacy he is endowed with

the whole business If they must 20 on a

Yet he. the very man TO call on first Of all,
the Senate's inquisition have not called on at
all. They have spent great deal Of the ma
tion's money in hunting up witnesses who
knew nothing, and they have accomplished
nothing but to get themselves into difficulty
and disrepute. They incarcerated Hyatt on
a punctilio, when they could Just as well as
not have avoided it, and kept themselves out
of an odious position, one which can hardly
fail to be looked upon by the nation ut large
as a tyrannical and dangerous usurpation Of
power on the part OF the Senate. Hyatt, we
will warrant, takes the matter a great deal /
more coolly than the men do whose votes put /
him in limbo, and the longer he stays the /
more uncomfortable they Will feel. Probably |
they will have to contriye by and by some
neaking dodge to let him out, as certain

Nor STICK MANUFACroRY.-Them mon Is a
necessity in every American kitchen, and of
styles Of mOpstioks there is no end. Most of
them, however, are made with screws, either
ofwood, which soon gives tor Of metal,
which rusts and becomes fixed and unmanage
able,-for attaching the cloths to the handle.
and good mop stick, simple, cheap, strong
and serviceable has always been, as house.
keepers well know, a great desideratum. Ex-
actly such one has been contrived by our
ingenious and industrious townsman, Mr. ".
W. Bancroft. A contrivance, so simple that
one wonders that it has not been used before,
holds the rags to the stick. A push against
the floor is all that is need to asten them.
and the very act of mopping clasps them the
tighter, while they are loosened when neces-
sary with equal facility. 1t is the cheapest
and best mop-handle out. Messrs. G.. s.
BLoDGETr & Co., have, with Mr.. Bancroft,
gone into the manufacture of this article.
The former gentlemen supply rooms and
capital and conduct the sales, the steam
engine of the FREE PRESS Printing Ofics
furnishes the power, and Mr. Bancroft makes
the sticks, which will soon, we venture to
prophesy, be driving every other mop handle
out of market, in this vicinity.

Sundry persons and papers have comment
ed freely upon an earthquake shock, felt
along our New England seaboard, some three
weeks ago. The rumbling and shaking were
heard in many towns; and so simultaneously
and sensibly, as to leave no doubt of the
cause. Something of the same sort was e1-
perienced In Essex, Vt, on Tuesday last. 1t
was a low heavy shock and rumbling ,itwice
repeated, which attracted the notice of per-
sons at the Centre, and at the house of Mr..
A. B. Halbert, mile and half north, was
50 loud as to cause the windows to rattle, and
the persons in the house to run out to see
what was going on. No blasting or opera
ton to which the noise could be attributed
was going on at the time. Mr.. Halbert,
who mentioned the circumstance to US, says
a similar shock has been experienced in Es-
sex, two or three times within his recollec-
ton.

GOLD AND SILVER.

Late accounts from California speak o
remarkably rich discoveries of gold-bearinC
quartz. correspondent of the Alta Cali
torn'an, of March ), writing from jackson
vile, southern Oregon, says
The quartz developments have really put a
new face on the affairs of this region, which
/ will ere long be seen and felt abroad. There
IS now possibility of washing out cash
enough from our quartz lodges to construct
bitches sufficiently extensive to set about
10000 men at work, slicing out the rich hills.
gulches, flats, ETC., and thus make US, in
some degree, independent of such dry times
as we have enjoyed this Winter
Gold Hill is now famous locality, com
manding our veneration and regard, for the
very generous manner IN which it shells out
the treasure
The Emlgrant Company, as it is now called,
have finished their arrastra, and after grind
ing for two days on common quartz, that
would pay about $500 per ton, for the pur-
pose of smoothing the bed and filling up the
crevlces, they proceeded to tumble in $50
pounds of rich quartz then starting the
engine. e. the mule round and round-for
about ten hours, when they cleaned up and
weighed the proceeds, which amounted to
the snug sum of four hundred and forty
ounces of gold, which will assay about sic
per ounce. Besides this, there were some
fifty ounces taken out of the cracks in the
bed Of the arrastra, which escaped their notice
on the first cleaning up-which makes four
hundred and ninety ounces for the first days
work with the primitive Mexican grinder.
The same day two of the company COM
menced taking quartz from the ledge. They
worked about six hours, then weighed the
quartz taken out, and from a safe estimate it
was found that, in a short space of time, they |
had taken out the enormous sum Of $50 900. |
These figures may seem astounding, but they .
express nothing more than solid fact.
1t Is now ascertaned that there is twelve .
eet of the ledge Of pure unburned quartz,
wenty inches wide and six feet deep, that is
with threads of gold, and will pay
lbove ten dollars per pound So far its rich
less increases with depth. The last quartz
hey took out yesterday, at the depth Of six
eet, pays one dollar to the ounce To NOR
ow they could easily take out 800, 900
worth Of quartz.
If their claims continue to pay at this rate
few weeks only, the company will have the
xtreme satisfaction Of scattering few mil
ons to increase the volume and velocity of
he channels Of commerce.

IMPORTANT RAILROAD SALB.-The Albany
Northern Road, 80 miles long, from Albany
to Eagle Bridge, was sold, last week, to par
ties interested in the Rensselaer, & Saratoga,
and Troy & Boston Railroads.
The Road sold for $252,0O0; there are
liens on it, which the new Company assume,
of S55, 900 making the total amount paid
1907 600 The Road was built in l85I-2,
and was first operated in 1853. Its original
cost was about $4,000, 900. 1t has never
paid expenses, and its whole capital was to
the stockholders so much money sunk. The
iron used in the construction of the Road was
purchased in England and paid for in
. stock" which has been held to this time
by the original owners.
The purchasers at once elected new board
of Directors Of which L. G. B. CANNON was
chosen President. The Troy Wing says
The portion of the Road from Albany to
It's junction with the Rensselaer, 6 Saratoga
R. r. is to be run hereafter by the latter
Company. What is to become of the re-
mainder of the Road, from the junction to
Eagle Bridge, II miles, we are not at present
advised. Probably the iron is more valuable
to sell than it ever will be to run over, in its
present position.

The UNION HIGH SCHooL.-The Winter
Term Of this Institution closed last week with
| a public examination of the school before the
| Examining Committee, Messrs. Seaver, Rev.
A Fleming. and Pres. Pease, and friends
of the scholars and the school
We understand that the examination
was highly satisfactory on the whole, and
every way creditable both to the pupils and
to their capable and earnest instructors. A
public exhibition terminated the examina-
ton and the term on the Sd, attended by
large number of the parents and friends of
the scholars. 1t was conducted by classes,
and consisted of declamations, compositions
and original orations. Two of the classes had
provided neatly printed programmes of the
exercises, and the whole affair showed a COM
mendable degree of interest and spirit in the
young participants.
The school is evidently doing we'll in its
present hands. We suppose that the good
order and progress in scholarship was never
more marked than now the buildings and
grounds are in as good repair as possible,
and all shows careful management. For the
discipline and internal excellence of the school
of course the main credit is due to the ac-
complished principal, Mr.. E. Conant, while
for the satisfactory condition of its finances,
great praise is due to the Treasurer of the
District, our worthy townsman Mr.. L. NJ.
HAGAR, to whose prompt, and judicious care,
the District is more indebted than it is aware
of. We trust the Union District may long
continue to be as well officered.

HE RESULT IN RHODE ISLAND.

> The result of the Election in Rhode Island
has really little national significance The

The ST. Louis BREACH OF PROMISE Case
The second trial of the renowned case of
Carstang VS.. Shaw, concluded in a verdict
for the defendant. The chief points in the
case are too well known to require recapitu-
latiOn. A middle-aged wealthy gentleman
pays certain amonnt of attention to lady,
is supposed to be engaged to her, cools off, is
sued for breach of promise, and jury of
twelve men mulct him in the sum of one
hundred thousand dollars, as a salve for the
wounded feelings of the fair plaintiff. A
second trial is granted, sufficient testimony is
brought together to prove that the life of the
lady has not been such as to warrant her as
sumption of wounded pride and feeling, and
the jury dismiss the case and saddle upon
her the payment of the costs.
