START ON LApY,-rhere is living
with Mr., Jacob Bush OF Brookline, W,
an old lady, whose equal will scarce be
found. Mrs. Edith (Allen) Root Wild
on OF the late WIN, b, Root and Iela-
tive OF Ethan and Ira Allen, was born
in Dudley, Mass, March nth, l7S2, In
1899 her father came TO Hartford, Wind
sor CO., and She has since been resident
of the State, The past 81 years she has
lived in Brookine, DUrng the summer
and fall uf 1864 Mrs, Root, at the age OF
50 years, spun the wool for, and wove,
web Of forty yards of cloth, which was
take to and exhibited at the County
Fair, aud obtained premium for the
same The present season she has spun
the flax, and Carded and spun the tow
for web of % yards of table linen. Her
mental powers seem but little impaired,
She is daily engaged in the domestic at
fairs of the family, and very much re-
grets the partial loss of her eye-sight, as
it renders the performance of some
kinds of work she has been accustomed
to do, impracticable. She is "A worthy
descendant of her illustrious ancestors.
During the late war, she has had five
grandsons, from one family, in the Union
army. Such instances of longevity and
determined energy are rare, and snow
forth the characteristics Of the "Allens
in their efforts to bring Vermont into
the Union free and independent State.
The LOSSES OF THE ST.. ALBANs BANKS.
By special dispatch to the n Y. Times
from Washington, we learn that the
State Department has given notice that
citizens OF the United States having
claims against foreign governments for
damages sustained by the depredatiOns
OF the rebel vessels Alabama, Shenan-
doah, etc, fitted out in English ports,
can tic their claims in the State De-
partment and thus demand, and, 1t is
believed, receive damages from the Eng
fish government. This notice is also in
tended to include those who have suffer
ed from rebel raids on the frontier of
Canada. Here is a possibility of the re-
cOvery of the $4,000 of funds, the
amount necessary to make good the loss
of our banks after the receipt Of the APP
preparation of the Canadian Parliament
of $4,000 in gold, Whether success
will attend the prosecution OF claims
under the above notice or not, time
will determine but it is evident that
the Secretary of State is making out a
nice little bill against John Bull, and
taking this in connection with the Con
federate Loan, the old fellow may wake
up to the fact that the indulgence Of his
sympathies with rebellion against the
United States has been rather an eX-
pensive luxury,-S 1lbals Messenger.

SHIPMENT OF 100000 IN IRISH BONDS
ETC.

ETC.
The steamers City of Boston and Erin,
which sailed from New York on Satur-
day are said to have taken out $1,000
900 in bonds for the use of the embry-
otto Irish Republic. 1t is currently re-
ported that as soon as these bonds reach
ireland matters will assume q more
definite form, and a proclamation also
printed here will be spread broadcast
throughout the land and so well guard
ed is every avenue that there is no pos
sibility OF the British Government OBJ
tanning the documents or of interfering
with the plan of distribution. 1t is
claimed that the bonds have nearly all
been subscribed for, and many Of them
by people whom the government least
suspect.
On the other hand the British govern
ment claim to have knowledge Of the
shipment of the bonds and have an
agent on board Of the steamers in ques
tion who will at the proper time seize
them and turn them over to the home
government. In all probability both
these steamers will be thoroughly search
ed before going into Queenstown, or at
least before any passengers or freight are
allowed to land. War vessels are by this
time stationed at Queenstown for this
express purpose. The weather horizon
begins to look dusty and the British
government are preparing to meet the
storm which has been gathering for the
past nine years.
The issuing Of these bonds and their
shipment is fact well authenticated
and is one of the straws which shows
the direction Of the windy. 7. Times.

A SERIES OF TRAGEDIEs.-Afe few weeks
ago two citizens of Pickens county
Georgia, went to church during service,
and called for two men, against whom
they had soDe grudge. The men re-
fusing to go out, they went in, and at
once commenced firing, killing one man
and mortally wounding a lady. On
Wednesday following, DR. L. Harper
went, with three citizens and three SOL
diers, to arrest them, and found them
with three other men in a house, armed
and barricaded. Two citizens approach
ed the house to eutreat them to surren-
der, when they were shot dead. A gen.
eral fight ensued, lasting half an hour,
two desperadoes being then killed and a
third mortally wounded. The other two
rushed out of the house, and attempted
to escape by running. One was imme-

THE NEXT CoNGREss.-The Chicago

States are now represented by 50 Union

party division that existed before the
war, the House Of Representatives now
stands 140 Unionists to Al Democrats
but on the great question Of at once ad-
hitting the Representatives of the
Southern States, or keeping them, or
most Of them, for a longer period in
probation, it is not probable that the
same proportions will be preserved.

But mattersare approaching crisis. Be-
fore many weeks the last grand and decisive
battle will have begun. The preliminarles
arc being rapidly arranged. :.
Such i contest as this will be, the world
has never witnessed, for upon it depends the
fate Of the country: In} that battle, should
we suffer defeat, it will be Overwhelming,
and all llthe'adyantages we have gained in the
past six months will be as worthless as the
bubble regulations they have made. Ii Lee
is defeated-he still has tho interior in which
to once more rally his scattered legions, and
concentrate for defence, if not for attack.
From all the outer garrisons and troops
7depots, the rebel army at the eapitalis being
augmented. Silently but surely the storm is
gathering. Let us mot be too sanguine OF
success. 1t NAV be thatthe rebel General
will make it a Waterloo for US, while upon
him through the smoke of that days battle
will shine The sun OF a second days, Auster-
litz. Lee will not throw away single chance
He is not the man of Lost Opportunities
Had Lee had command of our armies at the
onset of the war, we verify believe the rebel
lion would, have been crushed in less than
eight months. But We had only such second.
rate undertakers as Burnside and Hooker,
Butler and Pope. :.
Let us trust that our Lieutenant General
may be thoroughly. prepared for the con-
-fict; that when the conflict comes, our i'm.
uense plurality of men may not be driven to
their.deaths inrv.in attempts to accomplish
an impossible purpose, aud that for once our
leaders may be equal to their Herculean task
