The county is good and the town is
good, but the village is worthless SO
far as business goes. There has
been a paper printed in this village
just twenty years and we have print
ed it half of that time. We think
thisis the last one that ever will be
printed here. The people may feast
their eyes upon it for it is the last
We hope those persons who have
heretofore expressed so much ankle
ty to have us driven out of town
and have our paper go with us are
satisfied. We are going now, but
we mot they) have chosen our own
time and our own manner of going.
The town is now without its print
ing office; yet, we must be allowed
to say that in getting rid of us and
it, the place has lost the best friend
it ever had, and one day its citizens
may wake up to the full realization
of this truth.
Goodbye, Irasburgh.

ALABAMA.-The Alabama |

ALABAMA.-The Alabama Legis
lature has passed a stringent vagrant
law, designed to bear upou he,color
ed people, which creates much ex,
citement among that class. 1t pro.
vides for the establishment of houses
of correction in every town for the
incarceration and punishment OF
Migrants. 1t provides that Gin no
case shall the punishment inflicted
exceed hard labor in or out of said
house; the chain gangs, if necessary
to prevent escapes; such reasonable
correction as parent may infict on
a stubborn, refractory child, and soli-
tary confinement for not longer than
one week on bread and water" In
case of a second conviction the Mag.
istrate may cause the offender to re-
ceive thirty-nine lashes on his or her
back. Persons convicted of vagrancy
may also be hired out for a period
of one month and the proceeds paid
into the county treasury. Not very
gentle means for restraining vragran-
cy, certainly. Though color is not
specified, it is pretty certain that
white Migrants will not be thus dealt
with.

The TABLES TURNED. Rich
mond paper tells a story of a gentle
man who formerly owned a negro
man, who attended him faithfully
during the war, followed him through
the Pennsylvania campaign and con
tinued to discharge his duties unit
some three days previous to the
evacuation, when he was cut off by
the Union troops and they became
separated. The negro however
soon made his way to Richmond
where, having become a freeman, he
established himself in the mercantile
line. A short time ago, hearing that
his former master was out of bust
ness, he sent him word that if he
would come to Richmond he would
give him situation in his store
The ex-master did not find it neces.
sary to accept the offer, but he tells
the story with good deal of humor.

A Mrs. Whiting, of Halifax, died
in November, at the advanced age
of SO years, the Oldest inhabitant O
the town. She was the mother 0.
fourteen children, eight of whom ar,
now living with a united age o.
$50 years. The youngest one thai
has died was about thirty years O
age. The ages of the six that have
died, would make the united age o.
about 440 years, so that the ole
lady at the time of her death had
lived in the lives of her children
1000 years. She had 60 grand
children, most of whom are now liv
ing. Such cases of longevity are
rare, and such cases of longevity and
fruitfulness of life united, are re-
markably rare and should not pass
unnoticed.'

day morning, which resulted in thu
instantaneous death of passenger
1t seems that as the Night EXPIRES,

about s A. M, the locomotive e. F
Perkins burst a fue, which ofcourse
stopped the train. Conductor G. G
Appleton Immediately sent back men
with signal lanterns, to stop the ex
press freight train, which was immed
lately following. The engineer o.
the freight engine did not notice the
first signal, but on seeing the second
when about eighty rods from the
passenger train, reversed his engine.
But his train being long one, and
very heavy and the track quite slip
perry, as it was down grade, the en-
gineer could not stop his train before
the end of the Connecticut
River sleeping car on the passenger
rain.
This train consisted of five cars,
illed with passengers, and, STRANGE
o say, but one casualty occurred
Jyril Moreau of Brookfeld, Mass, a
attic drover. who was standing up
IN the front platform of the rear
leeping car, when the collision occur
ed, and was killed by the doubling
lp of the platform.
Gov. Smith, in behalf of the Trust

asst Wednesday, in charge of Geo. G
1unt, Esq, of St. Adams. I h e

Our Mexican Rolicy.

Congress has given a prompt in
dication of its purpose to have a
clear understanding Of the present
phase of the Mexican question, and
to have the policy of our govern
ment thereupon plainly d G fl n e d =.
duplicate resolutions have been in
troduced in the Senate by Mr.. Wade
and in the House by Gen. Schenck,
lrehearsing the offensive course Of
the Macmillan dynasty, expressing
our profound solicitude at his fla
lgrant disregard of our declared poll
Icy, and calling upon the President
to take such steps as will protect
the honor and interests of our gov
eminent. The resolutions, which
bear the marks of careful prepare
tion, go to the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. Another resolution, with a
preamble, was introduced in III e
House by Mr.. Van Horn of Missouri,
which, though ending with a harm
less instruction to the Committee on
Foreign A fairs, contains in its
preamble such declarations as this,
namely; "That it is the duty of
neighboring States to assist each 9th
er in guarding the rights and inter-
ests common to all"
Little straws like this, as well as
the strong fe cling everywhere
prevalent on the subject, render it APP
parent that the question Of our
Mexican policy, while linked with
the assertionof our highest and most
honorable duties, ought to be the
subject of the utmost care and pru-
dence. The people of this country
do look with "the most profound
solicitude" upon the defiant disre-
gard of our declared policy which
has marked the subversion of the
Mexican republic by foreign money
and bayonets. 1t was one of the
congenial incidents of our own re-
bellion. And with regard to both,
it would surely be all that the
amplest magnanimity could require
that we should waive the past, and
look wholly to the present and the
future. We are doing that with re-
gard to the rebellion. And perhaps
it will be sufficient, in regard toI
Mexico, if we take our stand on the
protest against any more foreign
aid being supplied to Macmillan.
We have as good right as France,
and infinitely better, to send men
and money to Mexico; but we insist
upon that being done by neither, and
by no foreign power.
1t is asking enough that we are
content to see the Mexican republic
take care of itself against the heavy
amp unjust advantage already secur-
ed to Macmillan. But we believe
that with fair play hereafter, Maxi
milan is doomed to quit the country
in short time Thus, thera ia no
necessity of our plunging into war
in behalf of Mexico, or of entering
upon such course as shall pledge
US to any Of the annexation schemes
to which cunning or interested ad-
venturers are seeking to commit the
Government. 1t is fortunate at this
time that all these propositions will
go to standing committee headed
in either House by two such capable
and careful statesmen as Mr.. Sum-
ner and Gen. Banks.-Boston Jour.

THE ENGLISH Press ON AMERICAN
AFFAIRs.-The London DAILY New.
of recent date remaks:
"The opening of the Congress at
Washington will bring before the
eyes Of the world the bearings of the
war. 1t will settle the great ques-
ton whether the American civil war
is really over, or whether the causes
of conflict will remain to carry the
revolution forward into second
stage. 1t will determine whether
the States can be reunited on equal
terms, or under the inequality ofone
section being tutelary and the other
in condition of pupilage. 1t will
decide the destinies Of five millions
of the colored race as to real or
mock freedom and welfare"
The Morning Herald says the
feeling in relation to American affairs
is not altogether satisfactory, though
at present it is not supposed any
demonstration of hostilities will be
made.
The NetUs, in an editorial on the
Mexican question, says;
"The Archduke Macmillan has
been trying to make the world be-
lieve that he is at the head of gov
eminent which has superseded. that
of the Republic; but Mr.. Johnson
conceives that t lie United States
have right to an opinion on that
subject, and the appointment of Gen.
Logan is an intimation that Maximil-
ian is merely the head ola foreign
invasion. The American govern
ment could not have adopted al
cheaper or more harmless mode of
defining its position. 1t is one
which preserves the neutrality ofthe
United States, encourages the Re.
publicans in Mexico, and prolongs
state of things in that country which
can only end in the downfall of the
throne that has been set up at the ex-
pense of so much blood and treasure.
