West Polng,
II has been his ambition for years to get
the appointment, He acquired Il very fair
education at the free schools in this town /;
he made several efforts TO secure the ap-
pointment, and enlisted as volunteer for
the purpose of earning a claim TO il, He
Went brayely through several battles, and
when at Washington went directly to the
War Department, told his story, the cir
cumstances of his parentage, his aspira-
tons, and services as a soldier, and Secre-
tary Stanton informed him at once he
should have the appointment. And he has
received it, being appointed from one of
the districts of Georgia, We ask the
adopted citizens, who are too prone to be
influenced into denuncation of the gov
eminent, If there is any other under the
sun, where this would have been likely to
occur?

A SMART OLD MAN Mr.. William
Morris, of Nershire, whose 80th birth dav
was last week, arose in the morning and
started for a long walk. He actually
walked a circuit Of forty-eDght miles, ar
irving home in the evening His SON
fearing he might give out, followed a mile
or two behind. He once overlook him
and asked him to ride, but the old gentle
man refused. In the morning he arose
about five o'clock and found the old gent
at the barn unloading hay.
STILL OLDER. Two or three weeks
since the Banner mace mention If
graVestone IN the Bennington Center Gem
etery, one hundred years old. One still
more ancient is now discovered BEARING
the inscription, "ln the memory of Fran
els, son Of Joseph and Mrs. Martha
Wlckwlre. He died at Lebanon. Sent.
23d. 1853" Consequently it lacks but
few days of being l04 years old. Quite
specimen of antiquity.
ASSAULT. Barnard MCINTYRE. of This
place, was yesterday brought before c. X.
Williams, Esq, Justice of the Peace
charged with assault with intent to xiii
upon Geo. S. Mussey. He was after trial
held to bail in the sum of $50, for his an
pearance at the next term of the County
Court in this County, and also ordered to
lind bal IN the sum of $3.50, to keep the
peace for one year.
NoR1HFIELD. The election CT Fisk
Copperhead, as Representative from
Mortified, it is said, will be contested
there being strong suspicion of fraudulent
voting. 1t may be well for the credit of
that town; but aside from such consider
alton, there are not copperheads enough
elected, whether ho estfy or not, to do
any harm hardly enough to make it in |
terestng.
In this connection, it is stated that |
there were less than one hundred aod fftv
names of the first class enrolled under
the CONSUMPTION act, in Mortified. |
while at this election there were over s1x
hundred votes cast. 1t must be an aged
population.
BEING MADE. Arrangements are be-
ing made in the Bennington Center VII
lagee Cemetery for raising the monument
to the men DRY of DR.. Manser.
COUNTY TICKET, We have omitted
publishing the returns of the vote on coun-
y officers in this county, for the reason
hat as far as received. they do not differ
very materially from the votes of the re-
spectlve towns on the state ticket, which
we publish,
BRATTLEBoRo did better at the cleo
lion by hundred Union votes than our
figures gave her credit for. We are glad
o make the correction. The vote was as
ollows; Smith 472, Redfeld l04.
In THE SHEEP BUSINESS. A sheen |
hief was traced from Cornwall, where ne
asst week removed" ten valuabc. sheen
rom the barn of H. F. Dan. ESQ, Of
hat town, to Chttend.:rn, where the Sheep
we're found. ana the tibet was arrested.
lie was lodged in ocr jail.
