many candid men have been disposed to repose
faith in their correctness, without taking the
pains to examine carefully the grounds upon

tant to be yielded without an inquiry into the
nature and source of the fatal restriction which
is to deprive the nation of the power Of self
preservation. The proposition contended for
BY the opposition is, that the General in COM

country, and the lives, property and liberties Of
the citizens within his district, may not declare
martial law when it is ascertained that its exer

awful conjecture Of circumstances, the General
must abandon all to the mercy Of the enemy be

PRINCE ALFRED, OF ENGLAND, TO BE KING
OF GREEcE.-It is now quite certain that
Prince Alfred, of England, will be called to the
throne of Greece by vote Of the people. The
voting commenced at Athens. December 4th,
and 2 500 signatures were taken, without ex-
ception, in favor Of Prince Alfred. He is the
choice of the Greek merchants scattered
throughout the commercial cities Of Europe,
and when Alfred is made king the Ionisn
Islands will be annexed to the little empire,
making quite respectable State in territory
and resources. The population of the late
kings dominions is some 100000. 1t is re-.
garded as settled that the Greek Assembly will
take steps to engraft an English scion on the
old Hellenic stock. and the indications are that
France will interpose no objections.
Prince Alfred is the second son and third
child of Queen Victoria, and has been in the
naval service.-[Chicago Tribune.

A Row IN JusrIcE's OFF1cE.-A novel
scene was enacted in the Office of Justice Of
the Peace in the North Division, Chicago, on
Friday last. During ihe progress of q case in
which some conflicting testimony was introdu.

the lswyess took up the dispute, and the spec

dignitary Of the Law could do nothing better
than to sit still and watch the fun out. He
did so, and 1t had most unexpected termina-
ton, for, closing in one grand rally. the whole
crowd, to the number Of twenty-five pitched
DOWN stairs, narrowly escaping . series of
broken necks. No great damage was done.

HORSE THIEF LOOSE AGAIN.


Jerome Brown, an account of whose ar
rest by A.. Dwinell we gave some weeks
since, is again at large. as the following
will show. After getting his liberty he
stole horse and rode it some distance,
and then hitched it to fence, and took
another which was found loose in Derby !:
ION Wednesday night, the prisoners
sentenced to the Penitentiary at the late
Court of the Queens Bench in this Dist
riot, four in number, were put on board
the IL o'clock train, in charge of four
constables and one woman, Zone of the
prisoners was woman) Soon after the
train left Richmond, while on the ascend
ing grade this side of Durham Station,
two of the prisoners, Jerome Brown and
Joseph Dagurre, who were chained togeth-
er, hands and feet, leaped from the train
while in motion, and escaped. 1t seems
they were allowed permission to 60 to the
water closet at the end of the car, and as
the constables suppose, went in; but in
stead of this they must have opened the
closet door, which swinging out, would
for the moment hide them from the
constables, and then quietly opening the
door leading out on to the platform, which
was right in front Of them, within their
reach, passed quickly out, and jumped
from the train, the constables, of course,
thinking that they passed into the closet
and it was not until the train had pro.
caeded some distance that they discovered
the birds had flown. Brown is a, notori-
GUS offender, who has broke Jail several
times in the United States. When first
committed to Jail here we understand he
cut his letters nearly off. but was discov-
cred before he had entirely severed them.
Brown was convicted of horse stealing.
and sentenced to four years in the penten.
tiary, and Dagurre for stealing clothes,
sentenced to six years in the penitentiary.
The prisoners have not as yet been found.
-SherbroOke 20. e. Gazette.
The Gazette of the 9th informs us of
the capture of Dagurre, one of the escap-
ed prisoners. According to his account,
the two escaped through the closet win

MULTIPLICATION IN LAMoILLE.-The
County Commissioner for Lamoille, Mr..
G. Whiting, published in last week s
Hyde Park Meaosdealer, his report of sales
of liquor in that County, and appends to
it the following curious. remarks and rec
concentrations respecting the taking out
of licenses under the Internal Revenue
Law of the General Government. M.
Writings proposition-though he prob
ably is not aware of it--would be moth
ing else, if practically carried out, but
South Carolina notification" the fruit
full germ of secession:
1.-The fact" says Mr. Whiting, "that a
man takes out government license to sell
liquor, who is not regular agent, is proof
enough that he is violating the State law.
But that all doubts in the case may be
removed, would recommend to the Leg
islaJure now in session, that it pass an
act to the effect that the taking out of a
government license to sell liquor, by one
who is not an agent. shall be prima facia
evidence against him, for selling liquor
contrary to the laws of Vermont, and that
he shall be punished neutrality-suspicious..
lington Sentinel
Of course the editor of the Sentinel
does not sympathize with the man who
sells rum contrary to law; nor does he
wish to give the rumdrinker a better
chance to crafty his tastes Looking al
the matter in this light, we do not see
why he makes the above remarks. If he
did sympathize with the seller and drink
err, we should not be at loss to account
for his way of looking at the subject.

Mr.. EDITOR AS used to,be reader of your.
paper, and read it occasionally now, and was
pleased to hear that soldiers had a good time,
thinking, that there are others left that would
like to hear the same, will give you a short
sketch of some of our high times. If you see fit
to give 1t place in your paper, you are at iber-
ty to do So Although we are not supposed to
be here for this business-but why not dance
here as well as at home ii circumstances will
permit, as we have barracks 100 feet long for a
hall.
A military ball was held at this Post night be-
fore last, the 9th, by the non.commissioned Off
GERS of the LIST Artillery Vermont Volunteers
which for the perfectly civil manner in which it
was carried on beats anything that has been got
up in this section for some time. There was
present, about 70 ladies nearly all of whom are
connected with the regiment, and were good
specimens OF the ladies of our Green Mountain
State. noticed also several young ladies who
came from outside the lines by invitation, who
by their presence and lady-hke conduct met with
warm reception by the soldiers and ladies con-
nected with the gallant llth. The hall was dec
Grated beautifully and with taste. Among the
decorations, were placed at the head of the hall
star composed of nine sergeant's swords support
ing the Flag of our Country and supported in
turn by stack of muskets in each corner near
other stacks of arms making the scene appear
like what it really was--a true military affair
The celebrated Band of the Regiment furnished
some choice pieces of music during the evening
The music for the dance was got up IN good style
and delivered by Qnadrille Band led by Corporal
William Durham of the l4th N. II. Vols, whose
musical abilities there is no doubt by those who
heard him and tripped light fantastic toe to
the almost bewtching strains of his magic touch
The dancing was kept up until between and 4
O'Clock. A. M. when separated to their respect

each other and the soldiers generally that support
the old flag. The supper got up by the we'll

Among the guests we noticed several non-com-
missioned officers from the ll2th Pa, from the
18th N. H., with their ladies. The Committee
of the Arrangements deserve the highest com
pliments for the efforts they put forth to make
the dance the complete success that it was
The gentlemanly and efficient managers, merit
praise for the easy and impartial style in which
they performed their duties. And we think that
the day is far distant when the dance at Fort
