The outrage at Bellows Falls, spoken OF
last week. was committed by four or five
rowdies upon a young and simple Scotch
woman, who came there friendless' and
moneyless. The villains were arrested and
put under the enormous bonds OF S2OO each,
which the principal ruffian has already for
feited by running away. The editor OF the
Times in referring to this outrage, gives his
readers some good advice: 1.-The time has
come when public sentiment should arouse
itself to an alarming state of things existing
in this place. Petty fights and drunken
rows have been so frequent of late as to at
tract little attention from most people. and
now crimes of greater magnitude are being
perpetrated. and unless Immediately check
ed. Bellows Falls will become the Five
Points of Vermont and a modern SOdOm
and GOmOrrah.'

county Fair.

At Il meeting of the executive committee
Of the agricultural society and fair ground
company at this place on Tuesday. it was
decided to hold the annual fair at this place
on the 10Th, 10Th and 2lst days of Septem-
ber Much the same program will be OBJ
served as last year. The third day will be
observed as Il horse fair with liberal premi-
ums to ga strieanes and cayalrymen. The
premium list and full particulars will be
given in the next CALIFORNIAN.
That Misrepresentation.
Mr.. Barney has handed us the following
letter with the demand to have it published;
remalking at the same time that we abused
him in the last CALIFORNIAN. We give him
the benefit of the letter, though it does not
retute in the least what we said last week {:
ST. JOHNsBURY, July I. 1868.
GEORGE c. BARNEY ESQ, Dear SRI
asked YOU this morning for a contribution
toward the expenses Of the soldiers dinner.
To which request you cheerfully complied
in common with other citizens of st. Johns
bury, for which thank you. What has
followed compels me to yield more to the
public wishes than to follow the dictates OF
my own judgement. by returning the
amount subscribed, Give dOllars) which you
will find enclosed. Please accept the same
with my personal Acknowledgements of eX-
onerating you from all blame.
}. ID. STODDARD.
EXPLANATION.-Wh it was learned
that a detachment Ofthe 18th regiment was
to arrive in town. some citizens thought to
give them q reception and dinner, to which
all the soldiers in town who had previously
returned should be invited. Mr.. Thomas
Hall was appointed a committee to solicit
funds OF the citizens to defray expenses,
etc. LIN his calls upon the business men on
our street he came to Mr. Barney, and max
ng his object known asked aid. He was
met by the immediate and honest reply
II won't give one cent! not one cent. .
iona. Ross and David Boynton, Esqrs..
were near by and heard this conversation.
and their testimony agrees perfectly with
MI. Hal SldltllltIll. however MI. Ddl'
ney's reply may appear to people who dc
not know him. no one acquainted with him
can deny but that he was perfectly consist
rnt with himself and that he did instinct
iyely blurt out his real feelings. What elst
could be expected of a man who has taker
The position he has against the war an(
against the government for more than fOul
years? The next day after this occurred
Mr.. Stoddard, on his own responsibility
went to Mr.. Barney and by some means Sc
cured contribution; but considering wha
mad previously TRANSFERRED. the committe,
refused to receive it. and requested Mr.
StOddard to return the money, which he die
is the above note explains. Here the mat
terwould have forever ended had Mr.. Bar
nev and his friends allowed it; but it wa
published in public print and repeated il
county convention that mo sooner aske
than Mr.. Barney handed over 3d." Con
sidering the rebuff which the committee me
with when ii waited on Mr.. Barney, W
think the candid reader will agree with U
that gross misrepresentation "was as mil
term as we could consistently use in dc
Eyinr the above statement.
