LUDLOW IrEMs.-Bailey's Menagerie
and Circus together with half dozen
side shows. were exhibited in Ludlow on
Tuesday last, to what the circus COM
pany declared to be the biggest crowd
they had had since they left Boston. AS
a kind of sequal to that event James
Hastings Jr. was subsequently fined one
hundred dollars and costs on sundry al
legations for selling rum, although ne
says it was never proved that he did sell.
Also several individuals were fined FIVE
and ten dollars and costs for getting
drunk.
Last Saturday an alteration took
place between two employees in the Lud-
low wooden mills by the name of Lynch
and Diggins, in which the former struck
the latter on the head with cloth roller,
infiicting serious If not fatal injury.
Lynch has been arrested.
MIR. Silas Warren who it will be re-
collected was, together with Mr.. John
Howe, severely injured on the 22d OF
last May, by being thrown from wagon,
died on Monday, the l4th inst, in conse-
ouence of his injuries. He was seventy
three years of age, and had been long
and extensively known as a most eff
ficient officer.

CLARENDON SPRINGs.-Quite an inter-
esting event took place one evening last
week at Flowers Hotel at Clarendon.
The occasion was the silver wedding
of Mr.. and Mrs. Flowers. The numer-
Gus guests of the house, together with
some invited friends, in the course of the
evening assembled in the parlors which
were handsomely decorated with
wreaths, flowers and flags, some,of which
formed notices appropriate to the occa-
sion. The host and hostess were quite
taken by surprise at the extent of
the demonstration which was ar
ranged under the auspices of the la
dies visiting at the house They We're
still more surprised, however, when they
were formally addressed by one Of the
accomplished ladies, who on behalf Of
their friends assembled, congratulated
them on their twenty.fifth anniversary
/ of their union, and conclu led by asking
their acceptance on behalf of those
| present Of numerous articles of silver
both ornamental and useful which were
then brought into the room by two beau
tiful young ladies tastefully dressed.
The occasion was joyous one, and the
rest of the evening was passed in the
happiest manner by the splendid COM
pany.
We cannot let this opportunity pass
without calling attention to the enter.
prise displayed iby Mr.. Flowers in the
erection Of his new hotel. 1t will be re-
membered that last winter while rails

Of adding another story the whole struc-
ture fell and became a mass of ruins
With commendable zeal he Immediately
cleared away the debris and on the LIST Of
July had his present new building ready
to receive his friends, and he has now or
foot plans for greatly extending his es
Establishment before another season.
The domestic arrangements Of the no

Local and state Items.

Police Court. - On complaint of
Grand Juror Joyce, Julia Lepine, Agnes
Healy and Mary Ann Campbell were
yesterday brought before Justice w. IL.
Smith, on charge of vagrancy, under
the act of 1864, These women have for
some time past been successfully plying
their vocation in our midst as "women
of the town." making their rendezvous
on Pine Hill and in the sheds on the
County Fair Grounds, and had at the
time of their arrest, which was accom-
plished by Officers Crawford and Kings
ley become an intolerabe nuisance. One
of them, Julia, is an old offender, and
though Agnes is old in crime, she has
not yet attained the age of 10. Julia
was sentenced TO Imprisonment in the
common Jail for four months, Agnes for
three months, and in consideration OF
the Campbell woman having young
child in her care, she was sent up for
only one month. She is, indeed, hard
ened wretch, having actually carried her
child, which is only Is months old,
around with her in her nefarious prac.
tices. The child presented truly pitia-
BILE sight, and this time saved its mother
from longer term in Jail than she re.
ceived. The women are three of the
most worthless characters to be found in
any community, and richly deserved as
large a number of years in Windsor as
they received months in the County
Jail.

The FENIANs.-Following the spirited
example of the Irishmen of Chicago,
Mr.. President Roberts has again frankly
declared in favor of impartial liberty in
America as one great moral step toward
securing the sympathy of the world in
the efforts for Irish freedom. 1t was
too much to expect that the intelligent
body of the, sincere friends of Ireland
would refrain from condemning a M
tional policy which ignored them a.
coolly as it did the loyal men in the
South, or hesitate to make common
cause with the friends OF impartial free
dom everywhere. Irishmen from this
day forth promise to show an independ-
ence In politics which we heartily ap.
prove and welcome. The leadership Of
the race in this country must be given
to the men of foremost ideas and hon.
esty, without whom their cause canno,
speak uDashamed to the sympathy of the
! world. Be it said to the honor of the
| Fenians their recent open stand for i'm
partial freedom is their own voluntary
doing.

MURDER OF A FRRRDMAN.-A mos
horrible murder was perpetrated st Ma

rufians, upon an old negro named sam
uel Jackson, living three miles from that
city. They attacked his cabin about y
O'Clock, and after knocking him sense

Another philadelphia Convention.

A convention known as the Southern
Unionists' Convention has been called,
TO assemble at Philadelphia on the Sd OF
September next The object Of the Con-
vention Is TO PRESENT the views OF the
men CO opposing to the country on the
subjects Of restoration and reconstruc-
tion,--the same avowed objects as those
OF the col vention which adjourned last
week. But wien we consider the ma
terial composing both conventions, and
the course OF the men forming that ma
terial in the war for the Union, there can
be but little room for doubt as to which
convention should have the preferences
of loyal men in all sections Of the coun-
try.
The convention which adjourned last
week st Philadelphia was composed
mainly Of men who at the South had
held Offices, either civil or military I'M
der the so-called Confederate govern
ment, and men who at the North had by
word and deed aided and abetted the
work Of rebellion as much as they dare
do, without risking their personal safety.
To these TWO classes add a few war
Democrats and 4 handful of renegade
Republicans and we have the material
composing the Johnson-Doolittle Con-
vention. The memories of the many
graves filed by the bone and sinew Of
the North upon Southern battle-tields,
the suferings of our soldiers at Ander-
sonville and other prisons, and many
similar fruits of the rebellion, which the
Southern rebels and Northern copper
heads, who held seats and filed otices
at the Philadelphia Convention Of last
week, as much as any one else were in
strumental in bringing about, are too
fresh in the minds Of the yeomen OF the
North to allow the deliberations Of that
body TO meet with much favor from
them.
On the other hand, the Convention
which is 10 assemble lext month is to
be composed of men who, during four
years Of war, waged by Davis and his
followers upon the government Of the
United States, have remained true to
the old flag, and in consequence suf-
tered a loss OF property, together with
their honor and reputation in the COM
munity in which they resided, and in
many instances we're compelled to seek
refuge in mountains and out-of-theway
places in order to protect their lives from
the ruffian mob which constantly assailed
them, when by simply declaring for Sc
cession and against the government
which had fostered and protected them,
they could have had honor, position and
wealth under the Confederacy. But
thew chose TO remain loyal and aid the
government whenever and wherever
they could do so, Notwithstanding thai
price was set Upon their heads for thi:
oFensc and Now that four years OF sui
iering and hs.rdships have brought then
3 conquere(i peace and whole Union
their opip ions on the political difference
which aFitate the country at the presen
time aye certainly worthy Of respect,

TEXAS. - Texas is restored. Three
words express what a column of legal
phrase is not sufficient to tell. The
President says in his proclamation, how
ever, that there are troops enough in
Texas to enforce obedience if any mill
tary uprising should occur, The proc
lamation is important as completing
the restoration of the Union, so far as
the executive department Of the govern
ment can do it. All that remains de-
wolves on Congress.

LEGISLATIVE Rows.-There is a COM
fort, of miserable sort, in the knowl-
edge that it is not left to the Congress OF
these United States to be the only egis-
lative body in the world which occasion
ally INDUCES in first class rows, Even
the British parliament now and then Tor
gets it's temper, and muses. its buckram.
Our Canadian neighbors are occasionally
reminded by their legislators that all
flesh is weak, and the spirit of man. even
great men, is liable to overlap the
bounds of moderation if sufficiently pro-
voked. A few days since the Canadian
parliament was the scene of bit OF up
roar. The cause was the offering OF a
resolution by Mr. Chambers, Of Brock
Vile calling for an official inquiry into
the matter OF the Fenian raid at Fort
Erie and the conduct of Canadian troops
and officials in connection Herewith.
When Mr.. Chambers rose to make his
motion, the House reSounded with q
chorus of yells, screams, stamping, sing
ing, Kissing, running over the benches
and firing of paper wadS at the speaker,
who continued the attempt to make him
self heard for an hour. He had engaged
the reporter of the New York Herald to
take notes of his speech, but as no one
could hear what he said, that resource
of getting before the people did not avail
him. 1t seems that there were some
occurrences connected with that inva.
sion of Western Canada which the pro.
vincials do not wish to have ventilated
and hence the refusal of hearing to {
representative. Probably Chambers will
be able to get into print, notwithstand

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
NASHVILLE, Feb. 20, 1866.
East Tenuessec, verify, has had her share
Of suferiugs. They begun nearly a century
ago. Early Indian outTages prior to l76S
had already consecrated her soil as a part
Of the dark and bloody grounds" Next
the rebellion in It's demon cruelty made her
very coves and streams and mountain paths
historic; aud We had already hoped that
the fearful gaps made by the armed rebel
lion would end her troubles, but il seems
otherwise. Another lrightful tragedy at
Knoxville flashes over the land. A brave
and gallant soldier, who had faced death
for the country and the "~cJuutry's rights, %
is hurried, without a moments warning,
into eternity, and swift remorseless punish
meut is melted out 10 the savage perpe-
traitor.
Col. Dyer was a native and resident OF
Granger county, and, probably, was twenty
seven years old. lie entered the army as q
private, and was mustered out of the ser
vice as Lieutenant-C 5lonel commanding the
lat Tennessee cavalry. As a gallant officer,
he performed distinguished service in sup

the further we pursue them. Here was one

and help was in him, for manhood has
scarce clothed him with her 'toga viritis.'
Quickly, without the shadow Of a warning
misfortunes oyertake us, and regrets avail
but little in this case. Our consolation il
