any debt due exceeding twenty dollars"
not being q judgment or mortgage, and on
every receipt "for the delivery of any

Boy Losr. ---Lucius =. Seely, lad of
IL years in the employ'o of Robert Wallace
in Cambridge, on Saturday last went in
search of the oxen, which it seems had
strayed into the woods. After searching
in the woods some time, thunderstorm

home, and in his haste. fell over some
rocks and became SO bewildered that he
could not find his way out Search for
the boy was then made and kept up till
dark, but without success 1t was reslim-
cd the next morning and kept up till
noon. when word was given out that he
had returned. The lad said that he wan
dercd about till dark and then laid down
and slept till another shower woke him !;
and being 80 drenched with rain that he
could sleep no more. AS soon as day
light he started and soon came to brook
which he followed, and it led him to a
house in Fletcher, 5 miles from home.
He then took the road and arrived home
as above stated, having been in two show
ers, and without food twenty four hours.

SALUTATORY.

80 We this week send to the people, the
oNEwsDEALER under new administration.
ic During nearly three years, in which
we have labored in this Office, we have
seen and consequently been led to believe
that the people of Lamoille county were
willing to support a newspaper In their
county, and also, that much interest'was
being manifested in its advancement ;
therefore We were induced to cast our lot
among this people, and take the response
bilities of this position. We trust that
we have not misjudged, and that the peo-
pie of Lamoille County will still continue
to manifest that interest that they have
heretofore shown in this enterprise.
We intend to make the NEwsD EALER
ono of the best local papers in the State,
and to accomplish this. it will be neces-
sary that we should be substantially sup
ported
The paper will advocate Christianity,
morals, temperance, and all that tends to
do good, and discourage that which tends
to do wrong In politics, the paper will
be Union. ~
Next week We shall open an Agricul
tural Department on the 4th page of the
paper, and shall depend, mostly, upon
communications from practical farmers to
keep its columns full and make them in
teresting. If the farmers take an interest
in this department, and furnish articles
from their own experience, it. will be of
more worth to each of them than ten
times the price Of subscription. .
We shall endeavor to give a synopsis
of the events that transpire in our coun,
try, and to give all the local news. We
hope our friends will assist US in this, and
send us details of everything that trans
pires IN their vicinity, worthy OF note.
We are making arrangements so as to
have correspondent in every Vermont
Regiment in which Lamoille County.is
represented.
. If every one will exert themselves q
little in our behalf, that we may be en-
oeuragcd in this, our first attempt at pub.
fishing paper, they will confer great
favor which we shall appreciate, and try
to return.
We intend to notify every subscriber
Of the time when his subscription shall
cease, SO that be can renew, or order j
stopped.

he is authorized to act for US in any ca
pacity which may be 10 our interest, and
we should be pleased to have the friends
of the NEwsDEALER show him the same
consideration as heretofore, trusting that
neither they nor ourself will be losers
thereby.

The Pemeroy-Chuse UIrcuIar.

The issuing of the PoneEoy Chase circular
seems to have been the signal fer the Presidan-
tial race 10 begin. Ths commotion excited
among partisan journals by this production dis
closes the insinesIity of those professions Of dis
interested national feeling which have so long
been the theme of the war press. 1t nov sp.
pears that party aspirations have only been held
in check to await their opportunity; and be-
meath their surfacs-patTioiism, the oTgsBs of the
Administration have been silly plotting 10 sd-
vance the prospects of their respective iavoTites
for tho Executive chair.
The TTibzne and other journals identified with
the extrems Abolition doctrine, have, until with
in few days past, been very earnest in their
depreciation .of any present movement in the
Presidential campaign. They exhorssd the peo-
pie to abstain from contemplation OF partisan
questions until the vail of uncertainty should
be lifted from the military situation. The pre-
sent task, they urged, was to defeat the rebel Ar
mics In the field, and with tas sublime Ttae Of
the old rat in the fable, who preached abstinsnce
and ssclusion and retired to luxurious privacy
ia tie heArt of a Cheshire cheese, they eoniUTed
ali parties TO hold ihs Presidential question in
abeyanee, while, under cloak of their pretended
selfdsnisl, they silently perfected their own par
tisan ayTangensnts. The Pomeroy- eircu-
lar has brought the rss out Of bis hiding place,
aud We may look for rapid Development Of in
trigue and succession of desperate mAlsauYsrs.
The Chase faction lave opened the campaign
with dash and visor that bstoken ACTIVITY and
confidence. Mr.. Liacoln, it IS tue, has brought
his gslvsnie battery to besr on Louisiana, Ar
kansas and Florida, and will probably soon
plsy reconstruction" in Tennessee sad else
where, where his soldiers can hold ground long
enough TO hurry through the form Of an election.
But be cannot think that the people will submit

of bsyoneks His power to control the army
vote By direct exercise of authority is more
dangerous But the Chsssite5 have suddenly
revealed front so bold and imposing that Mr.
LineoIn's prospects seem 10 collapse like g
pricksd bladder The man Of gTeenbaeks
looms like giant above the man Of bayonsis,
and the kings name ceases 10 be tower Of
strength.
Through the breach thus formed in tha radi-
cal ranks let the peace men press on and strike
their blow, not for party triumph, bat for the
republics redemption. FanAticism becomes
poweYless when dissension distuTbs its corrupt
essence. Those men have been our tyrAnts,
bsceuse they were united in their frenzy and
ambition. But when fanatics quarrel among
themselves, their mutual bitterness and hatred
