ROBBERY AT WHEATLAND.-On Saturday
night or Sunday morning the carriage house
OF EX President Buchanan at Wheatland was
broken open and very valuable set OF double
harness carried Off The theves effected an
entrance by pryIng open the door and found
the harness in a small closet or box kept for
that puI pose. These harness were purchased
at Washington by Mr.. Buchanan shortly after
his Inauguration as President, at cost of five
hundred and thirty dollars. They are heay-
lily mounted with silver, and as the rogues will
hardly attempt 10 dispose OF them, through fear
of detection, it is likely they will cut off the
noun ingS, melt them down and sell il as old
silver. Tie silver alone in this shape would
probably yield them several hundred dollars.
After securing the harness the rogpes visited
-iA- a---l---s1
day purchased BY Mr.. Bochanan's housekeeper.
The rascals were apparently W ell acquainted
with the PTemises.-Lancaster Egpress.
DCAru OF Ex SENATOR 'MANG Um.-Eon. Willie
P. Maugum, OF North Carolina, died at his res
I3ence in Orange county, in that State, on the
l4th ult. For some years be had suffered
with paralysis, and it is probable that the re
cent death of his only son, from wound re-
ceiged Oh the field of Manassas, depressed bis
spirits TO point from which he could not rally.
Mr.. Mangum was once Judge of the Superior
Court of n. Carolina, and afterward represented
tn S,atsin both branches OF the United States
Congress. On the death of President Harrison
and the installation OF Mr.. Tyler as President,
Mr.Mangun was chosen President Of the senate
and for the remainder OF the term was virtual
ly the Vice President Of the United States. He
was man of brilliant attainments, an eloquent
orator, and the possessor Of those private vir-
tues winch endeared him to his neighbors and
friends. The North Carolina Legislature, on
receiving intelligence Of his death, passed suia-
bic resolutions OF respect 10 his memory.
The Reason WHY.-The editor Of the III
Eeghanian asks; ''What's the matter with Blair
County. While Cambria County has about
1900 OF her sons IN the field, battling for The
Union, Blair County, her equal in population,
has only 500!" We can explain it ne,ghbor
Cambria IS a Democratic, Blair Republican
County. 1t is the Democrats who do the vol
lnteering and fighting in the present war
The Republicans remain sungly at home, aud
dsnounce their Democratic neghbors as secess-
ionists. Well, we suppose il Is all right. Il
is not now difficult matter to perceive the
difference between a Republican and Demo-
cratic County. Do you know the reason why,
now, ,Ineighbor? Of course you do and are grte-
fol % US for the information.-E EbenSbu1g Sen

HORSE THIEF ARRESTED.

Mr. EDITOR doubtless your readers
will all remember something over year
ago reading the arrest of John Scales of
Concord as a horse thief. and how he Slip
ped away from the sheriff, H. W. Bedell
of Lunenburg, and ran away, making good
his escape Since that time Mr. Bedell
has been on the lookout for him, and
Thursday last arrested him at Piermont
N. H. The circumstances which led to
his arrest were as follows; When he went
away he left his valise in the hands of
Bedell, and after he had gone, his father,
Luther Scales, claimed it. Bedell, would
not give it up without an order from the
owner, his object being to get the hand
writing of the culprit His father pro-
cured the order and Bedell upon it's recep-
ton left portions of it at such Post-ofines
as he thought most likely the said Scales
would put in letters. 1t seems Scales had
formed an attachment and corresponded
with one Clara Williams of Lyman, N. H.,
going under the name of Jackson Morrill,,
purporting to be from Chelsea, VT The
Postmaster at Lyman having become salts
fed that jackson Morrill, was the thief
John Scales, notified Bcdell of the proba-
bility and Bedell Immediately started in
pursuit. He ascertained that he was at
work for a farmer named Hodge, of Pier.
mont, n. H.. and he then took deputy
sheriff Stevens of Havei hill and went to
the house of Hodge, finding and arrestine
him. He was armed with brace Of pis
tolls and dirk knife, but the arrest was
so sudden and unexpected that he had nc
opportunity of showing fight. He is now
lodged in the Jail at Guildhall, VT. where
he awaits his trial. Much praise is du'
to the untiring efforts of sheriff Bcdell il
accomplishing his recapture.

the little fellow kept stout heart, and
obeyed their direction about answering
their calls, until they reached him, when
he burst into tears and wept freely.
If thankfulness and blessings will make

bed happy that night; as they received

pecially from the mothers and fathers

GEORGE w. DorY.

Gsg- Two Of the Vermont Sd regiment
passed through this place Tuesday on the
way home, on furlough till they re-
cover from wounds. One of them was
wounded by a rebel while on picket duty.
He shot the rebel dead, however, before
leaving his post. The other, we believe,
was wounded by accident while in camp
Major Cochran writes that they are sta
toned on Georgetown heights, and having
discovered some rebel pickets, they sent
out scouting party who captured two
rebels and took them into camp. The Sd
regiment from this state is pronounced by
many to be the best yet sent out from
New England, being composed Of such
good material, and so we'll armed and
equipped. This last, of course, is moi
from Maj. Cochran, but from sources out
side the regiment r. Times.

NEW COLLEGE BUILDING.

Midllebury is to have a new building
added to its college. The Register of the
9th inst, has the following in relation to
it.: 1.-The new edi6ce, it is expected, will
be thoroughly completed by the 25th of
the present month. 1t was commenced
on the llth day of April. The walls and
the roof were finished some days since,
and strong force is now at work on the
interior, upon which they have made con-
siderable progress. The building is Of
blue lime stone, four stories high, and l20
feet in length. The front is of hewn stone.
The architecture is plain but very neat,
and we know of no building in the state
if we except the Capitol, that approaches
it in imposingness and beauty. The in
terror seems to us to be arranged upon
model entirely faultless There are two
divisions, each division having four suits
of rooms on one foor making in all thirty
sufficient to accommodate sixty -four stu
dents. A suit of rooms consists of study,
sleeping room, wood room and clothes
press. The rooms are high and spacious
and have complete and convenient arrange
ments for ventilation.

How TO TAKE Our MEALs.-The tables
of the rich and the mobiles of England are
models of mirth, wit and bonhomnie it
takes hours to get through repast, and
live long. If anybody will look in upon
the negroes Of a well-to-do family in Ken
lucky, while at their meals, they cannot
but be impressed with the perfect abandon
of jabber, cachination and mirtb; it seems
as if they could talk all day, and they
live long 1t follows, then, that a. ths
family table all should meet, and do #
habitually, to make common interchange
of high bred courtesies, of warm affec-
tions, of cheerful mirthfulness, and that
generosity of nature which lifts US above
the brutcs which perish, promotive as
these things are of good digestion, high
health, and a long life.--HaRs Jourual

heard one breathe my name last night,
And while my face grew deathly white,
My heart stood still with pain;
So deathly-0, so fearful-cold
1t seems each life-pulse to enfold,
Nor scarcely life remain.
Cease this quiv'ring, faiuting, signing;
Though my lonely heart is dying
Dying with its silent grief:
All its restless love is yearning,
Heart and soul to thee are turning;
FRIENDSHIP offers no relief.
Stranger lips thy name had spoken,
Thoughtless of the tie once broken
Not broken-severed wide
While thou art far away from me,
And can ouly think of thee,
Yet keeps me from thy side.
We may not meet on earth again
Our lives be one long night of pain;
Yet in our home divine,
Thy spirit pure will greet my own:
0 blessed thought no more alone,
My spirit blends with thine.

When | last wrote we were in Alexan-

including the Vt. 3D. our old camping
ground, 5 miles West of Alexandria, Oh
the 25th of July, where We still remain,

army. The rebels now occupy Fairfax
with small force. From some of our
boys who have escaped from them after
being taken prisoners, we learn there is
only about 5000 in all, this side of Man.
assas, and they are making no permanent
stand, only to occupy their old fortifca-
tions. Our pickets extend out 4 l-2
miles towards Fairfax, and frequently get
sight of rebel. Our division is now un-
der Maj. Gen. Mcdowell, who is putting
us on thorough drill and strict army dis
ipline the good effect of which is noticed
in the steady soldierly appearance of
the Vt. boys. We are now throwing up
breastworks at this point, and it is gen.
orally believed by our officers, that no i'm
portant move will be made on the enemy
from this direction at present; but to
steadily advance and fortify every inch of
available ground, and thus compel the f.
F. VS. to retire. AS l anticipated when
l wrote you before, our loss is not near as
severe as all the newspapers would have
it to be. 1t is generally thought among
the officers that 1000 men will cover the
loss in killed and missing; and only II
cannon and many of them are useless
for the present, being spiked and car
riages broken. While from the report Of
the southern papers, they took upwards
of 1000 killed and many wounded.
To-day, Sunday Nathan Huntley, Of
Duxbury, belonging to Co. D, Capt. Dill.

quisite discharge, and so he mad to breathe
his last in the arms of his fellow soldiers
far away from home, and near and dea,
friends. The Band and Co. d, escorted
his remains to Washington, where they
will be embalmed and sent home. His
friends are expected at Washington to-mor
row. A good many of the Regt are now
suffering from sickness, and if they evel
yet we'll, they will not be able to do any
thing for some months, and they wish tt
get furlough home, where they can have
kind friends to take care of them bu
