WEsTMINsTER.-Ata town meeting of
the people of Westminster held last week,
it was voted to pay each drafted man from
that town who goes into the service, a boun-
ty Of 500. We believe this also applies
to those who procure substitutes. The vote
was passed without a dissenting voice, and
is highly creditable to tie town. Old West
Minister goes in for supporting the govern
ment and her ancient reputation is not
likely TO suffer at the hands of her present
generation.
CAPT. BUxroN.-Capt. Albert Buxton,
commanding Sd Vermont Company of Shap
Shooters, was slightly wounded in the neck,

MISSING.
Corp. George w. Diamond, Grafton
Our readers well knew the brave Capt.
Buxton, who has been through so many battles
and who is neither afraid of the rebels in
front, or their sympsthizers at the north,
and the present affords good opportunity
to relate an incident we heard of him some
weeks since. A New Hampshire officer
was conversng with member of Capt.
Buxtons company, about the last Freder-
icksburg battle, and among other things in
CURED at what time he began to retreat, to
which the soldier replied 9 began to re-
treat when saw nay Captain retreating."
!" Well, sir" said the officer, q if you did not
begin to retreat till Capt. Buxton did, you
did not commence any too soon."
CoMNUIATIoN MoNEY.-Up 10 Tues
day of last week, the collector of this dis
trict had received $4,000 communication
money, from drafted men in this county
alone, and the whole had not been heard
from then, and it is thought the whole
amount will reach $4,000. The collector
in the First District informs us that the
amount in Washington county alone will
reach 100000. AT this rate in the whole
State, the amount of exemption money will
reach half million of dollars.
| THE CLARK TRoUPE.-We were right
glad to see this troupe have full house
here on Saturday Evening, it being the oc-
casion of their second visit to this place
The audience were delighted from the be-
ginning to the end, and frequently greeted
the performance With hearty applause. This
troupe are very unassuming, and make no
loud sounding pretensions, but are received
with great favor wherever they go, and it
affords US much pleasure TO give them this
cordial commentator. As we sat listening
to them the other evening, we had some
thoughts of specifying in this notice certain
pieces by certain members of the troupe, but
before the evening was through, each one
had in some of the various pieces perform
E ed, exhibited his or her own peculiar must
cal ability, and thus that task was taken
from us. We anticipate some day when we
may hear them again. 1H.s
