AN ANCIENT DoCUMENT.-Our ANTIGUA
rian friend, Henry Stevens, of Burlington,
formerly of BARNETT has sent us curious
document. connected with the early histo.
ry of Danville. 1t is petition for the
appointment of new Justice of the Peace,
in the place of Abraham Morrill,, who it
seems was about leaving town. The petit
ton is dated Danville, Tin the then county
of Orange,) Oct. 4, 1870, and is signed by
some forty freeholders Of the town, CON-
prising such names as Capt. David Which
er, Thomas Dow, Ahner Morrill,, Moses
Webster, jeremiah Lovejoy,, David Dun
bar, Israel Brainerd, Isaac Morrill,, Abel
Morrill,, and others, all of whom have long
since paid the debt of nature-Mr. Abel
Morrill, surviving the longest, he having
died but few months since 1t does not
clearly appear who was finally selected as
the said Justice but we suppose at that
time it was left to the County Court, to
the Governor, or some superior tribunal to
determine, and that some favored individ-
ual got the office. Altogether, the petition
is curious relic of "ye olden time

Roor CufTER-E. B. Rand, of this
town, has one of Hubbel's Root Cutters;
and wishing to see and try it, SO as to
judge of its merits from actual observa-
ton, S. G. Eaton, of North Montpelier,
who is agent for tho United States, took
us into his sleigh the other evening, and
gave us ride up to Mr.. Rand's. A
bushel of potatoes was poured into the
box or hopper, and in about two min
utes time they were cut as fine as ne
oessary for cattle. They were then run
through again, and came out fine enough
for sheep; the whole operation not tax
ing over five minutes A few turnips
were then thrown in, and were readily
cut by the machine, we working the
handle ourselves,
From what we saw Of it, we should say
the machine is valuable thing for far
mers who feed roots or vegetables, as it
will cut potatoes, turnips, beets, carrots,
&C., and will cut pumpkins if they are
first only broken in pieces, and will do il
80 readily that but little time is lost in
the operation. Mr. Rand says that in
preparing potatoes for boiling for swine il
will be great help, as they can be wash.
ed in the hopper, and then cut, and it will
then take but half as long to boil them,
and afterwards only little time to mash
them.

The Manchester N. H. Msyror says that
couple stopped Justice of the Peace
about halfpast nine o'clock Tuesday night,
in the street, and wanted to be married.
The lateness Of the hour was mentioned
and postponement of the matter until
morning suggested, but was met with a
decided negative by the candidates for do
nestle bliss, who cared nothing about the
time, place or weather; and the fact of the
thermometer standing at zero seemed to be
no objection. Accordingly the legal gen.
tleman told them to "stand up! where
they were, which they did. Few words
were spoken by the dealer in law, a firm
response from the stalwart groom, and a
gentler one from the buxom bride follow
ed-and the thing was DONE and the par
ties went on their way rejoicing.

Major A. H. Seely, writing to his broth.
err, from Helena, Arkansas, Jan. 10th,
complains of great deal of speculation
and politics among the officers of the west
ern army. We copy the following ac-
count of an adventure in which he was
engaged:
when We were over in Mississippi, at
Oakland, near Grenada, as we we're march
ing into the place. the advance was at
tackled, at point where there was grove
of second growth of Blackjack Oaks,
which grow very thick and full of wild
vines 1t is almost impossible for man
to get through on foot. The Col was COM
handing the brigade, and that left me in
command of the regiment. When l formed
in line of battle, part of my line was in
the thicket and part in the field. The
day was pretty warm, and some of the men
had taken off their overcoats and laid
them on their saddles in front of them.
We marched in this thicket about quar-
ter of mile; when we came out there was
sixty-one of the boys bearheaded, and IS
or Is dropped their overcoats The reb-
els were five thousand strong, and only 81
hundred of us; but cavalry marching by
twos makes large show where the force
is small; they broke and fled. Our
horses were so jaded that we did not pur-
sue them.
On that trip I was in my saddle Is
days, besides riding two nights all night.
Cavalry service is hard for men and
horses"

the vessel was sinking fast The ram had
cut us through at and below the water line
on one side, and the shell had burst on
the other side almost to the waters edge.
After the ram struck she swung around
under our starboard counter, her prov
touching us, and hailed, " Surrender. or
I'll sink you. Do you surrender ?" AT
ter receiving the reports | answered. al
can make no resistance; my boiler is de-
stroyed." The rebel then cried out, ado
you surrender ?" I said Yes" having
found my moving power destroyed, and
that could bring nothing to bear but
muskets against his SHIT proof coating.
He hailed several times :" to send boat "
and threatened to fire again. After some
delay boat was lowered, and Lieut.. COM
mander Abbott asked if he should 90 in
her, and asked for orders what to say. |
told him to see what they demanded, and
to tell him the condition that we were in.
He proceeded aboard, and according to
their demand gave his parole in behalf of
himself and all the officers and crew. His
report accompanies this. The ram having
been detained half hour or more, now
ran out for the steamer, Keystone State,
which vessel and the others, we had tried
to alarm by lights. We saw shell ex-
plode as it struck the ram, without injur-
ing her. Saw the Keystone State struck
several times, and saw the steam and smoke
blowing from her. The firing then reced-
ed to the northward and eastward and
was pretty brisk at the head of the line.
| set everybody at work taking care Of
our wounded, pumping the snip, stopping
leaks, examining the engines, etc. About
six a. m. got things in order to start a
little steam, and hove up anchor.
