Mr.. Baker remembers distinctly when
Barton's Rock, in the Notch, fell from
the mountain; be was quite near at the
time, and heard the fall, which shook the
ground like an earthquake, and ratified
the windows at Cambridge, several miles
distant. The original name Of the rock,
Mr.. Baker says, was "Burton's Rock )"
from the coincidence of its fall with the
birth of child in Cambridge named Asa
Burton Ingram; but in time the name
had been changed to Barton's rock.

THEFT.-Last week a young mar
named Taylor, from East Burke, wen
to Mrs. Bemis, the liquor agent at Burke
Hollow, and called for pint Of vine
The wine was paid for in advance, and
the money deposited in the desk. Mrs
Bemis then went into an adjoining room
to draw the wine, Taylor following and
closing the door after him. Soon after
Taylor left, Mrs. Bemis, on going to the
desk, found the money dish, containing
about $40, missing. No suspicion rest
ed on Taylor. But, on instituting search
the day after the wine was obtained, Mr..
Bemis learned that Taylor and one
Stone, another young man at East Burke,
we're out the night before, and returned
home about one o'clock. This fact awak
ened suspicion and Taylor was arrested
aud confessed. II seems that when Tay-
tor paid for the liquor in advance Stone
was looking into the window ard observ-

Taylor were shut up in the liquor room.
Taylor was examined and in default of

bail and was released. Stone who is

SENSIBLE DEMOCRATIC ADVICE
That veteran "sachem of Tammany,'
Elijah f. Purdy, has recently been writ
ing some sharp but instructive letters to
his Democratic brethren through t h e
columns of the New York Leader. In
his last lie well says:
The people just now don't want too
much Of political doctrines; they won't
stand provisos, conditions and stipula-
lions they want their principles clearly
defined upon the subjects of present vi
tai concern. They don't care about mere
party claims i n the dead past; they
won't have any thing to do with political
abstracts Of title. The questions in which
they take an interest are the concerns OF
to day; any thing that looks radical or
revolutionary, that involves too much
scope, and enters the region of uncertain
ty, will only hutter instead of fatter the
popular sense. The Democratic party
has done enough in the way of panicky
resolutions. The popular sensiiiveness
in regard to the support of the war and
t h e principles of national perpetuity
caused the defeat of the Democracy in
view Of the speeches of its orators and
the ponderous special pleading in the way
of platforms. The National Debt is sub
stituted for "the war for the Union" as
the cardinal point to steer by. Let the
Convention beware of the Copperhead
leaders and the old Copperhead fun.
