From the New Hampton Courier VIC
learn that there has been an extensive
religious revival in Jacksonville and
vicinity, and that many have united
with the Baptist and Methodist church
cs there
Large quantities of wheat, beef,
pork, &c, have lately been sent to
market from that county.
The MaplcviIlc post-oilicc has been
discontinued. The people there were
requested by the Department to select
a suitable person for Postmaster, and
Mr.. Ferris, who has had charge of the
Office for some time past, was selected.
The response of the Department was
the prompt discontinuance of the office,
much to the surprise and Indignation
of the citizens interested.
The Bradford News says the flour
ing mill at Nashua has been robbed
of its burrs by some unknown persons,
and there are serious apprchensions
that some one will carry off the River,
leaving nothing but the mill.dam.
The Courier says the "hard times -
and corn bread which were in every
ones mouth during the past season
are fast passing from our memories.
Wheat bread and cheerfulncss now
close the mouth of discomfort.
The News says that little child of
Robert Mcconnell three or four years
of age, attempting to drink from the
spout of tea-kcttlc containing hot
water, inhaled the steam, which in
.ured the lungs SO that he died in
twenty-four hours after the accident.
Mr. Andrew Sample of Nashua, hay
ing been arrested on charge of
threatening to burn up some mill prop
erty, was Oh examination, held to bail
for good behavior in the sum of three
thousand dollars. One night Mr.. Sam
pie woke up the officer having him in
charge and told him of his intention
to depart, and bidding him an aflec-
Tomato farewell ranaosed the ranch.
We understand jubilee will be held
to gloriiy his departure. So says the
Bradford News.

We have a rumor that Gov. VIM.
Pennington, Of New Jersey, is elected
Speaker of the U. S. House of Repre-
scntatiycs, but we find no confirmation
of this report in our latest papers.
Gov. Pennington is an excellent Re-
publican, and was formerly Wing.
The report is that certain wNoth-
ing members, such as Adrian, Briggs,
Reynolds and Winter Davis proposed
to support Pennington, but obstinate
~ refused to go for Sherman, and it
was this fact that led to Pcnnington's
election.

The Governors Inaugural.

The inaugural address of Gov. Kirk
wood, which we publish this week,
will well repay a perusal. 1t is a
strong, bold and straightforward doc
ument. Among the many other topics
dwelt upon, the Governor aludes to
the Harpcr's Ferry difficulty in rather
pointed terms. So deeply was convic-
ton impressed upon the heart of Clag-
gett-the immortal Judge Claggctt,
who essays to lie leader of the Democ-
racy in the House of Representatives
that he took up an hour and a half
of the precious time of that body in
cndeavoring to relieve his conscience
from the pricks which the Governor
had made in it. Poor Claggctt!

New HAMPTON CoURIER.-Thc first
number of the Courier" published
at New Hampton, Chickasaw county,
is upon our table, and makes fine
appearance. In it we were surprised
to notice a paragraph credited to the
lntclligencer, intimating that the
Courier would "starvc to DEATH" and
were unwilling at first to believe it
had ever appeared in our columns !;
but we afterwards found it was so.
Our contemporary must know that the
responsible editor of the IntclIgcncer
was absent at the time the item up
pcarcd, and could not himself have
been the author of it. 1t is not his
disposition to mcddle with the affairs
of his ncighbors, and it is only when
attacked, and in sclfdcfcncc, that he
has sometimes seemingly done so.
This world is wide enough for all, and
we would much sooner proficr the
friendly hand than deal in detraction
or inllict wound upon the feelings Of
any one.
