HIsToRICAL REMINsCENCEs OF HUNTINGTON
The first event worthy Of notice, connected
with the carly settlement Of this town, next
the first commencement Of that settlement in
1886, by my father Jehiel Johns. was the
appearance in his n ard 1t night, of a
bear, which, having seized and attempted to
make prey Of one Of Elisha Bradley o-s'''
which with MS mate q strayed thlther, was
dragged by him as the strongest Of the two,
to nv fathers clearing, and TO the very door
of bis house; and it was not until he was
twice shot at and wounded, that be was driy-
en- from about the premises.
The first fatal accident in town occurred
it. 1894, when Joseph Carpenter, Jr., young
man q years old, was hit by the fall Of a
large limb of tree, which hurt him so, in
wardly and outwardiy, that be died in about
II hours.
In the spring of 1901, the log dwelling
house Of Lawrence Ravlin was burnt down,
and what was more sad, his wife, being una
bic TO extricate herself from the fire, was burnt
TO death in it, j. JOINS.

hn EVentIJIi GiGe--isetuTH from
Van Dicsnan's l.aud.

John Bateman arrived in Troy, \. Y,
9th ult., on his way from Canada TO
Chatham Centre, Columbia county, n. Y.
which place lie left twenty-iour years ago.
Being shortly afterwards arrested in the
Canadian rebellion of 1887, he has even
since, up to within a brief period, been a
convict in Van Dieman's Land. The
Troy Times says:
Bateman is now sixtyfour years ofage.
He says he removed from Chatham Gem
ire to Canada in 1886, whore he purchas-
ed quantity OF land and engaged in the
business OF numbering. The patriot war
soon after breaking out, he attended the
meetings of the patriots, where he was
finally captured, but afterwards released.
Sympathizing very ardently with the pat
riot cause, he removed to the American
side, and joined the lodges there. Here
he was again captured, and taken to
Kingston, where, after brief trial, he
was sentenced to death. Eleven of his
companions were executed while he was
in confinement. Bateman remained in
prison ten months, when his sentence was
finally commuted to exile in Van Die
mans Land. In that ar-oif convict is
land he worked under government, build
ing roads and bridges, improving land,
and at such other employment as the con.
victs were compelled to engage in. For @
period of about twenty years he worked
rs convict on the island, until he was
recently pardoned by the Queen, and was
once again free man.

there was n probability of the Mississippi
still vending its way toward the gulf,

The Black Republicans boast of their
virtues and their fitness to manage the
money OF the people. But on coming in
to power they have run. the public tIeasu-
ries largely into debt.
Look at New York where their corr
ruptions have been astounding. Their
corrupt bargaining, and selling of votes,
in the Legislature at Albany last winter,
was a shocking commentary upon the

and other States, have been Gurlhcned by
them in public debts.
Deacon Peck, the Treasurer Of Maine,
was defaulter to the amount OF S0S, ,00O
$50. 000 of which it was shown he ex.
pended for party purposes.
The late State Treasurer of Michigan,
a Black Republican, is u .deiauiter to tho
amount of $4,000.
State Senator Fry. of Worcester, an.
other moral reform Black, has been ex.
posed in forgeries to the amount OF 10,

Vermont. has absqnatulated to Canada,
having robbed the Treasury OF II OO0!--
Vermont is Black Republican State,
