tlaman belonging to that city wishing TO de-
stroy an old dog, took walk to the Chau-

together. and plunged him into the seething
torrents passing downwards. Judge the gem

AGood Letter from q Young Girl Of Main,

a Uood Letter rom Young tlrl OF Maine
The following letter was read at a recent
meeting Of the American Institute Farmers
Club, New York. siH
Reasons iUly some Farmers do not Gro,c
FloUers.-ARIETTAL. STRwARD, Passadum-
keag, Me-, gives the best reason that we have
ever seen advanced why !some farmers do
not have a flower garden. She says; 81 am
little girl IL years old living among the noun
tains and pine trees of Maine. While your
are preparing your gardens, the snow still
covers ours. Cold Winter has not yet resign
ed its sway, the chilling winds are whistling
by, and the ground Is freezing. Our house is
on the bank Of the Penobscot River, and on
the Military Road fiom Bangor to Houlton.
| am allowed garden between the house
and the road, and want some pretty flowers
to grow in it. ! am 50 far away that can
not send for seeds as soon as they are sent in
but want you to remember me, and send me
some hardy kinds whensyou have them.
They don't raise many flowers here; one rea-
son suppose is because they are Copper
heads. Any person who upholds this Rebel
lion, cannot have pure and holy love for the
beauties Of Nature. He who does not love
the works Of God and his country, would be
as much out Of place In q fower-garden as
porcupine in pulpit, or as Satan was In the
Garden Of Eden. Ibelieve the Bible does not
inform US what species of serpent he assum-
ed; but Ia It not the opinion Of the Club that
he was copperhead, and Nhe progenitor of
the present race? We are told that he rebel
led in Heaven, and perhaps they are his chill
dren that rebel now. Please pardon me for
writing so long letter, and for going so far
from my subject; but my sentiments are Uni
on and they win show themselves, and want
to give our brave soldier boys some pretty
flowers as they pass by our house." ?

 Now, of course, we knoN that those liberal and inst resolutions, establishing the political Hequality of all men. were enlys intended to ap- ply to Irish Catholics. who were expected to vote their ticket When they subscribed to the principles which make our land the asy- lum of the oppressed of epery nation,' they only meant the Irish nation. They were very care less in introducing plank into their platform that seems Ike favoring tbe freedom of the Af ricah nations also. but they did it, and until they discovered nigger in the fence univer sal suffrage had been one of their pet doctrines. Now they mee, and declare negro (aniversal) suffrage to bea high crime against the con- sstitution, and with the next breath inform us that dsmocfatic principles are unchangabIs in their natures, when applied to the same subject matters .H

KENT Quite an unhappy affair occurred in our usually peaceful community, on Friday night of last week. It appears that one Louis Roslet, a returned soldier. was stopping for the night at the house of 1Lomas Bedding. also a discharged soldier. and sometime :n the night Roslet attempted to get into the bed with Red, ding's wife, Bedding and his wife occupying for that night separate rooms. Mrs. Bedding made an alarm. whereupon Roslet returned to h,s own bed. The noise awoke Bedding. and as soon as he ascertained from his wife what had happened. he seized a pist J and ordered Roslet out of the house. Roslet at first refus ed and threatened resistance. Reddng then punched him with the pistol with so much force as to cause it to discharge. the ball passing through the right lung of Roslet and caas,ng his death in few minutes. Bedding immedi ately went to neighbor and told what be had done. and upon the neighbours advice de livered himself into the hands of Constable Pc ters. Bedding is now in custody awaiting the action of the Grand Jury.
