CONGRESSIONAL SERVICE. The Bur-
lington Free Press in speaking of Mr..
Morrill,, says; "No previous Represent
alive of Vermont has ever been honored
with so many reflections"
Our friends OF the Free Press are
mistaken. Hon. Bollin c. MaIary,
of Poultney, had six elections as
Representative in Congress. He died
during the last term of service for which
he was elected. Few Representatives
from New England ever won so much
fame as q debater, and it was his great
services and influence THAT induced his
constituents to re-elect him so many
times-just the number claimed for Mr..
Morrill,. The late Horace Everett, of
Windsor, seems to have been forgotten,
also, by our Burlington contemporary.
He was elected seven times to the Ma
tional House of Representatives, serving
full fourteen years. The exigency of
civil war has kept in service members
Of Congress, from Vermont as we'll as
from other States, much beyond the or
binary term. But in the cases of NAL
larry and Everett no such exigency had
influence. Both were continually re-
elected by reason of their eminent abili-
ty, and the great and valuable service
which that ability enabled them to rem
der to the State and country. They and
their constituents had the practical
good sense to see that the House in
which they had gained their influence
was the place in which they should re-
main. They no doubt had the ordinary
share of human ambition; but we never
heard Of their declining further service,
in order to enter the canvass for the
Senate where they had no experience.
They would have doubtless made re-
spectacle and influential Senators; but
they were unwilling to risk the solid
reputation already won, and the people
were equally unwilling to risk losing
the service they were certain to render
the State by their continuance in the
House.

New HAMPsHIRE SgNAToRsHIP.-Th
Republican members of the New Hamp-
shire House of Representatives, have
nominated James W. Patterson, now
member of Congress, for United States
Senator, to succeed Hon. Daniel Clark
who was candidate for reelection. All
the three members of the House were
aspiring candidates for the Senate, and
all would have undoubtedly been de-
feated had not three with their friends
fought against one. Senator Clark had
the largest number of votes in the eau
Gus on the first two ballots, but through
a spirit of compromise Mr. Patterson was
nominated on the fourth ballot. The
four candidates all left Washington and
were on the ground at Concord. The
excitement was intense. Mr.. Patterson
was Professor in Dartmouth college
up to the time of his election to Con-
gress, and also a Congregational clergy
man. He is gentleman of fair ability
but Of more rhetorical than logical
power as an orator. He viii do his
State no discredit.

GoLp.-The shipment of gold from
New York ON Wednesday amounted to

mand for gold at New York during the
day, both for export and for payment
of duties, and at one time the price ad-
vanced to l46 Ia, but closed at 145 IL.
The Saturday steamers will probably
take out some five or six millions in
specie. Some of the English and Ger
man bankers are buying in all the gold
they can get in anticipation of a Euro
pean war, and part of the present
large shipments is on account of pur-
chases made in our market in their in.

HANDSOME PRESENT TO GEN. SPEAR
The st. Adams Messenger of Wednesday
evening, says: We understand that
Gen. Spear, who is still in our town on
parole, has been made the recipient of a
valuable present by some anonymous
admirers. The present consists of a
complete and elegant suit of clothes and
purse of SIS. The General is at a loss
to know who to thank for the gift, but
says he feels as though he could stand
by st. Adams as long as he lives. The
admirable order which be maintained
among his men in passing both ways
through our midst, and his gentlemanly
bearing and kindness, have won the re-
gard of all who have became acquainted
with him. Whoever made the present
to him, be they Fenian or Yankee, it was
well bestowed"

OVER IN NEW YoRK.--A few DAYS
since a middle-aged woman, accompan-
led by four children, arrived in Troy
from New Jersey, in search OF her hus-
band, named John Akin, who had de-
serted her about one year ago and who
she learned was residing there. She
stated her case to Justice Neary, who,
after consulting with Officer Hurlbut,
was satisfied that Akin had resided in
Troy some time ago, but had removed
to Buffalo. The wife, getting clue to
where her truant husband boarded while
here, ascertained that he had married a
girl named Mary Ann Madden, who now
resides in Green street alley. Thereupon
Mrs. Akin No. called upon Mrs. Akin
No. 2. An exciting scene followed-both
claiming the same individual as 'lord
and master" Mrs. Akin No. 2 stated
that Akin had married her in Benning-
ton, VT, about one year ago and that
he was now in Buffalo. Mrs. A. No. l
sWore out warrant against John for
bigamy, and he was arrested in Buffalo
by the police Of that city, on the strength
of Geographic dispatch. John was
brought to Troy, where he was con-
fronted by wives Nos. and 2. He ac-
knowledged that he had been married to
No. l, but denied any such contract with
No. 2 1.-THE Madden woman)-but she
stoutly insisted on being regularly"
married to him, and offers to produce
the proper witnesses. Meanwhile, John
is committed to await trial next Satur-
day. ... .....

and Wednesday, the 22d and 2sd ult.
About 200 female teachers were in at
tendance, besides considerable number
of superintendent, prudential commit
tees and other friends Of education.
Near the close of the exercises on We'd
nesday, committee consisting Of
Messrs. Burbank and Hyde of Ludlow
and ], r. Priest of Mount Holly report
ed the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted:
l. That we have increased confidence
in the utility of the Teachers Institutes
held by Secretary Adams and we would
recommend to the teachers of the State
to memorabilia the Legislature for such
an appropriation of money as will au-
thoriZe the continuance of the Institutes
for five days, and the employment Of
any necessary assistance in conducting
them.
?. That the exercises, lasting as they
do, for only two days, are calculated to
impress upon all intelligent and candid
observers the Importance of more ex-
tended system of normal training for
young teachers.
8. That the thanks of members are
eminently due to Rev. Mr.. Gurr, and the
members of the Baptist Society, for the
gratuitous use of their meeting house;
also to this gentleman and to Mr.. ii. H.
Shaw, principal of the academy, for their
indefatigable exertions for the entertain
NJ hn nt.n, 49, he %
also to many of the citizens for their
generous hospitality also to the officers
of the different railroads for their liber-
ality in granting travelling facilities.
Appropriate remarks were made by
Rev, Messrs. Gurr and Fairbanks, pas
tors Of the Baptist and Congregational
Churches, Mr.. Shaw, Principal of the
Academy, Mr.. Pierce of Springfield, and
others.
In reference to the subject matter of
the second resolution, Mr.. Adams stated
that a proposition would probably be
brought before the next Legislature to
select one Of the best academies in the
State, to be converted into a Teachers
Normal Institute, under the exclusive
control of the State, and providing that
a certificate of graduation from this
Institute shall be sufficient to authorize
a teacher to teach anywhere in the
State.
1t may be proper to mention by way
of "item" that Mr.. Manning, agent of
the American Freedmens Aid, Union and
Poor Whites Commission, was kindly
allowed by Secretary Adams to occupy
an hour in presenting to the Institute
the claims Of the society he represents.
He says that the society proposes to pay
$40 month ''clear" to female teachers
to go South and teach the young blacks.
This gentleman appeared to be very anx-
ious to hold forth again in one of the
meeting houses Wednesday evening (hav-
ing declined the offer of the Academy
hall,) but both of the clergymen kindly
expressed to him the opinion that con-
sidering the hard work they had all gone
through with during the two preceding
days, it was desirable that pastors and
people might have resting spell, and
when the gentleman aforesaid still press
ed the matter, they told him plainly that
he was crowding too hard, and Mr.. Ad-
ans forthwith dismissed the assembly.

The Ttmberlake Murder.

From The LoSansport Journal
In the summer Of 1864, at the funeral OF sold
Ter near Maukport, Indiana. a lady named Tim
berlake, became embroiled in quarrel with a
woman, who out of bravaio, wore butternut
breastpin. The parade Of the emblem Of treason
was made through contempt for the soldier being
buried, and hi. friends and comrades, in attend
ancc. Captain Timberlakc. relative of the LADY
just mentioned. interposed. to preserve the peace
when rulian named Loughmeyer rudsy pushed
the Captains relative aside. The Captain de-
nounced him for his cowardly attack uron a wo-
man, when Loughmeyer drew revolver and shot
and MORALLY wounded Tim5erake As tho
wounded man reeled to fall Loughmeyer frcd
again. and instantly killed his antagonist Upon
examination it was found that Captain Timberlake
was entirely unarmed. and had no anticipation of
a quarrel, and 1t was shown on trial, that Tough.
meyer and his comrades were fully armed and
came TO the funeral wearing butternut pins, and
had threatened the life OF ANYBODY who opposed
them. BY one witness it was proven that Tough.
meyer had swore that Captain Timberlake should
not leave the place alive.
Loughmeyer was tied for the murder nj the
March term Of the Harrison Circuit Court, and the
evidence substantially established the facts rs
above related, and strange as it my apDear.
Loughmeyer was acquitted.
The verdict becomes less a wonder however.
when the proceedings in the case are understood
IL would seem that all law and propriety was dis
regarded by the Judge, that the Jury forgot the
testimony and their oahs, and that the counsel for
The defence was engaged in the prosecution ofthe
Government on behalf of the Southern Confedera
CIV, rather than in the defence ola bloody murder
Among other singular charges to the Jury, the
Judge he Id that pin or badge of any description
could be lawfully worn by any person or conbina-
ton Of persons; that such being the lawful prop
erty OF tie wearer, nc had the light to protect and
prevent its beins taken away, even to the taking
OF human life; or in other words, tina. any amount
OF force might be used in order to retain possession
OF such !rinket. That for any person to attempt
to take off such trnket by force ia nothing more
nor less than robbery. And further. any person
standing by where such attemp. is made, and no,
interfering nor assisting the owner of such proper
~ to protect it, becomes essentially sn alder and
abettor of felony, and the Legitimate conclusion is
that such bystander may be also killed.
1t was not shown by the evidence nor cIaimed
by the counsel that Captain Timberlake had made
any attempt to tase a breast pin. He was simply
acting As peace maker, and was endeavoring to
preserve respectful quiet at the grave OF the
dead soldier. VI
The defence of the accused's counsel ran in
similar strain. His chief point was political, and
ne aimed evidently, at stirring up the rebel feel
ings OF the jury against the deceased and the or
cause he represented He unblushingly made the
point before the jury shatif the friends of Cap
