Some of our exchanges are circulating the
following statement, on the authority OF the
Detroit Free Press Judge Dixon of Wis.
consin, who was last spring elected to the SUI
prenIe court of the state, has come out for
Douglas" The Milwaukee papers deem it
worth while to contradict this statement,
Judge Dixon being warm friend of Mr. Lin
coin, and also an undoubted republican. But
it should always be assumed, as a matter of
course, that any story or assertion which
comes from the Detroit Free Press, is false.
There is not in all the land another such infa-
nous liar as that sheet. Its conductors are
accustomed to invent falsehoods in the
most deliberate, cod.blooded, a.rocious way.
Their villainy in this matter is almost
beyond belief. 1t is stupendous yillaiuy, and
more inscriptions in its depravity than ordi'
narily seems possible to humon nature. Its
statements should never be- quoted respectfully
ms if they deserved credit, for it has forfeited
all claim to respect. The inventions OF the
Free Press are usually intended TO villify and
libel, not only its political opponents, but all
others who do not serve its party. The lies
which that paper has invented and put aioat
about the fugitive slaves in Canada are innum.
cradle, and some of them are monstrous. Its
latest rascality Of this kind was directed
against Lewis Clark, one of those Canada freed
men. who is known and respected by many
persons in New England. Clark, who is very
nearly white, and also very intelligent and en-,
ergeuc, has been employed in some business con

The BRooKFIELD CELEBRATIoN.-A hasty
look at the preparations for this interesting
historic celebration shows that the committee
have taken hold of the work with a commend
able energetic spirit, and DIE comprehension
of the wants of such an occasion.
A mammoth six pole tent is already erected
on the east end of the common in West
Brookfeld near the old fish store, with seats,
and tables which will lay twelve hundred
plates and on an emergency the tent will ac-
commodate many more. Col. Wn' Beals, the
celebrated decorator, is hard at work, stringing
flags of all compilations and designs, across all
the streets leading to the common, and the
new town hall is already radiant with the bunt'
ing and patriotic embems and figures with
which he has covered it. But suffice it to say,
now that the name of Col. Beals is sufficient
to guarantee that tie thing will be done,
throughout, in just the right shape. The Ia
dies are busy aiding in the preparation Of ban
ners with appropriate notices and devices,
also arches, and all the other ct cetera made up
of flowers and evergreens that will make a
gay and appropriate display.
The citizens and others will repair to the
site of the first settlement on Fosters Hill, be-
tween nine and ten O'clock where they will
meet the delegations from North, South, and
East Brookfeld at ten o'clock and escort them
to the common, where the procession will be
formed and march through the village to the
cold buryipg ground" on the banks of the
Wickaboag, thence via the old Baldwin place
to the street and tent, in season at 125 O'Clock,
after which will come the Grafton, poem, and
other items of the intellectual part.
While the procession is marching the church
will be opened for those who do not care to
join. The dinner is to be provided by Messrs
Cummings and Crowell, whose large expert.
ence as caterers will insure feast of fat
things.
Sufficient patriotism has combined to fur
nish supply of powder to make, with the
clangor of the three ilage bells, noise enough
to wake the sleepers at dawn, and to keep up
the national exercises through the day.
A ball in the evening, at the Town Hall,
will close the eventful day. We regret to say
that there is no reduction of fare on the rail.
road for the occasion, but an extra train will
leave West Brookfeld for Worcester at Il

The Pemberton Mill Insurance.

The question relative to the insurance on
the Pemberton Mill, which was so calamitods-
ly destroyed last winter, has been decided.
The mill was not insured against falling but
against destruction by fire: 1t will be remem-
bered that soon after the mill fell a fire broke
out in the ruins and swept through them with
uncomfortable fury. Much of the machinery
and other property was thus destroyed, which
otherwise might have been saved. A ques-
ton arose as to the amount of insur-
ance that should be paid. Referees were
appointed to decide it, as follows il. w.
Balch, president of the Boylston Insurance
Company, Boston, James Y. Smith of Provi-
dence, and Daniel A. Head of New York city
Their decision has been announced. They
award to the owners OF the mill 225 per cent
of the whole amount insured, which amounts
to $93,375. This sum is apportoned among
the several companies interested as follows -

The JUVENILE CoNcERT.-The concert by
the children, at Mechanics Hall, last evening,
afforded much qualification to large audience
who were present Mr.. Nason's youthful
choir occupied the entire space of the ample
platform, and made a pretty show. They
made much music, and were succeeded occa.
sionally by TIE National Band. Previous to the
performance, the children, who had assembled
at the Old South meeting house, were mar
shalled in procession, and, preceded by the
National Band, they marched two and two to
the hall, the boys leading the way and the girls
following in "span clean go-to-meeting
Clothes" with fiowery head dresses, and each
holding a boquet. They all looked as if they
were having a tip top good time. We expect
to see just such happy fhces in the Sunday
school procession, tomorrow.

RULING PASSION STRONG IN DEATH Mr.
Gershom Twichell of Milford, who died ON
Friday last, after an illness OF only two days,
was the last member of peculiar, and. in
some respects, remarkable family. Though
a man Of considerable wealth, owning one of
the finest and most valuable farms in Milford,
he persisted in living in state of the most
abject poverty. On the announcement of his
death, says writer in the Boston journal, the
overseers of the poor took immediate steps to
secure his estate for his legitimate heirs.
They found in his howell large amount of
silver, deposited in pine box, nicely adjusted
in layers of dollars, halves, quarters, and
smaller coins. They also found a bag in
