DEsERTERS VERSUS SOLDIERS.

Amid all their professions of love for sol
diers, since the close of the war, the Cop
perheads have studiously avoided any refer
euce to their efforts during the war to dis
franchise all who were then serving their
country in the armies of the Union. But
all their desire to divert the attention of the
soldiers from their past record by loud
promises Of present friendship, could not
restrain them from rejoicing over what they,
the wish being farther to the thought, igno-
rantly supposed to be decision of the Su-
preme Court denying the eonstitutionality
Of the act of Congress depriying desertcrs
Of citizenship and thereby disfranchising
Them in this State. Go ahead with your
reioiangs, but don't expect soldiers who
have worn the army blue and periled their
lives npon the battle field to march to the
the polls under the same banner, with ske.
dadlers, bounty jumpers aud Canadian refu-
gees. Soldiers don't train in that crowd.

some time n january we took oe-
casion to point out the absnrdity CT the
story Whicaapp eared ia the Washington
C1u.04te{e of the 10th uitimo, relative to
tire attempted assassination OF the Hon.
Mr.. Made ~ u diabolical stranger in
gray.
The person who did visit the melo-
dramatic Senator now appears over his
own signature in the Washington Star,
and gives a statement OF the transaction,
which shows that NJ. Fleming such is
the name of Mr.. Wadess Nisitor-did
not, Is alleged, draw a knife about

wi=le-bladed affair, about as fit for stab

very innocent purpose Of cutting piece
o. legitimate pigtail, to the use OF
which delightful narcotic NJ Fleming
ceafesses himself to be addicted.
A. the original statement SETS lorth
the fact :. that the virtuous Wade had,
then and there, pistol in hand, kicked
OF the dangerous man with the double
i0inted bowie knife, which, in point OF
fact was IA laefx-Nnife. we think it bat
Just % quote what Mr.. Fleming has to
say on this point lie writes as follows:

only III say that had he drawn Il pistol it
would haxP speedily found It's Way out
OF the window and had he attempted
the kicking process he would have fol-
lowed his pistol i'll the same direction.n

Gypsum IN SrABLEs.-Gypsum should
BE- spsinkled daily over the floors and
tie-llls, to absorb the ammonia of the
urine. The strong odor observable on
entering the stable on q morning arises
from the presence of ammonia, one Of
the most valuable products of stable
manure when properly economized.-
Gypsum and lime, either shocked or
caustic, should also be sprinkled over
the bottoms of cellars in the spring.
This will tend to purify the atmosphere
and prevent many deleterious effects re-
sulting from the presence of midsna.
After a few days it should he removed,
and a fresh supply substituted in its
place. Wherever there is else atmos-
phere of any putrescent matter in a
state Of fermentation, gypsum should be
literally used. When GYPSUM is not to
be obtained, lime may be used.-Ger.

Excursion.

A party of over sixty persons, old and
young, made an excursion from this viii
lage on Saturday last, to Warren's Pond
in Alstead, n. H., and as usual on these
annual occasions, had gala day. Two
tents were pitched on the "Island" the
night before by the " advance guard" who
went over the night previous for that pur-
pose and to organize things generally for
the whole party. The thermometer in
this village reached 81 and throughout the
country it was an oppressively hot day,
but at Warren's Pond there was nice
cooling breeze throughout the day, rem
dering it very comfortable, and the party
had no idea of excessive warm weather
till they learned of it after the day had
been spent and they arrived home. Most
of the party started early in the morning
and took breakfast on the Island; and such
appetites as are got up on these occasions,
we shall not attempt to describe. Though
the day was not remarkably good for fish
ing enough (mostly pech) were caught for
both breakfast and supper, even for that
large number, except perhaps being lit
lie short for the first meal. The cooking,
as on all former similar occasions, was
done on the Island in true primitive style,
and the best culinary establishment in
America could not have made it more
palatable.
The party made quite fleet on the
pond. We counted seven boats at one
time all very busy waiting for nibble,
and sometimes impotence would creep
out even among those jolly crews, but the
day passed most pleasantly. At the close
one or two of the last boats were threat
ened with shower and caught in a mo-
mentary high wind, as they approached
the landing place, but no harm came of
1 it and it was rather looked upon as of adj
ditional interest. These excursions are
good physically and socially, and there
ought to be more of them among the peo-
pie generally.
Several other smaller parties before
and since have been there from this place
this season and all agree in the pleasure
they enjoy.

New Postal Regulations.

By the new Postal Law, all prepaid
letters are hereafter to be forwarded, at
the request of the party addressed, free of
postage; and returned dead letters are
also to be restored TO the writers thereof
free of postage; also request letters are
TO be returned without additional charge.
These last are those letters bearing a re-
quest to be returned to the write. if not
called for in given length of time, and
it is therefore a matter of interest to
the writer, the party addressed and
the Post Office Department, as there
by the number of dead letters will be
greatly reduced. Every one therefore
who sends letter which he thinks stands
the slightest chance of not being received,
should put upon it the request indorse-
ment, as it may save him much trouble
and delay, and all without expense, be-
sides saving trouble to the department.
The above law took effect on the first day
of this month, and Post Masters should
especially remember about forwarding
letters free, as otherwise such letters may
be subject to overcharge and thus create
unnecessary as well as additional work at
the office to which they are sent. No
letters are to be advertised in the news
papers after the first of October next, ex-
cept at first class class offices.

PUTNEY ITEMs.-The Fourth was cell

Schools united and had a very pleasant
affair, as the bright faces and sparkling
eyes of the children strongly testified
In addition to this seventeen young couple
took ride to Chesterfield Pond, and con-
cluded the day by dance at Stoddard's
House. There was also slight sprink-
ling of fire works in the evening.
The President of the Connecticut Riv-

ceived a telegram from their agent that
they had struck lie" which created con-
siderable excitement among those who
have invested. Their stock Immediately
went up and the members are of course
full of high hopes.
Those who are thirsty in these hot

Boston Liberality.

The great promptness with which Bos-
ton has responded TO her sister city of
Portland, adds new lustre to her illustrious
and glorious fame. Before the fire was over
the generous work had already com
menced, and even arrived at Portland.
The promptness will excite admiration as
much as the generosity, which may well
be envied. We can only compare it to
the promptness with which the old Bay
State sent two regiments of troops for the
defense of the country in 1861.
