lfessrs. Editors Il have read with
no little interest the editorials in your
paper, in reference to our early histo
~ as a town and individuals. The
time has been. not long past, when
Holland was thought to be the end Of
all things. but it seems we are found
possessing some features worthy the
pen of the historian. and that now we
are to hare a position assigned us
among other towns. Will it not be-
come US then, as we are being so sud
denly and so unexpectedly brought
before the public, for them to look at,
to examine ourselves and so decide
whether the portraiture given Us be
correct.
Some statements in your editorials
at first glance appeared far from be-
ing correct, and impartial, and on
close examination and consultation we
find many of the statements respecting
our early history, manitestly wrong.
and we are dissatisfied with it as thus
given. The truth in history, is right
and we are perfectly willing to have
some of our frailties known, but LET
it be truthfully done, and not an at
tempt made to lift up others at our ex
pense. We take exceptions to some
of your statements relating to indi
viduals, as being untrue and conjectn
raj on the part of the writer, and par
taking to some extent of the spirit
that speaks al unnecessarily of the
dead. The statements in reference tC
our early religious history, and oul
schools, are to some extent untrue
and do misrepresent the character of
our fathers. We are satisfied they
did what they could for our intellectu
al and religious culture, and made
sacrifices for those purposes that mos
would do we'll to initiate. AS to oul
political history-we have never beer
lactious, and think we have been loyal
We have tried our best to secure
some of the "spoils of Office for boil
parties, and have been successful. s.
we purpose to do in the future.
Arrangements are made by US for {
correct history of our town, to be pre-
pared by one who is competent ant
reliable, and being to the "mano
born,' and having it as his abidin.
place, will have some personal inter
est in being truthful and impartial
Will it not be as we'll, under thes
circumstances, for the publication Of
the history 10 be suspended, or per
haps amended, and we have a chanc
to speak for ourselves?
I feel some little interest in thi
work, and being the eldest inhabitan
now living, who was born in Holland
even before the town had an organ
cation, and always having this as m
home, | take the liberty of maxim

How SALT FISH SHOULD BE FREsHEN-
ED.-Mapy persons who are in the habit of
freshenirg mackerel or other salt fish, never
dream that there is right and wrong
way to do it. Any person who has seen
the process of evaporation going on at the
salt works, Knows that the salt falls to the
bottom. Just 80 it is in the pan where your
mackercl or whitefsh lies soaking; and, as
it lays with the skin side down, the salt will
fall to the skin and there remain, when if
placed with the flesh side down, the salt falls
to the bottom of the pan, and the fish comes
out freshened as it should be. In the other
case, it is nearly as salt as when put in. If
you do no: believe this, test the matter for
yourselves

THE FROZEN WELL OF BRANDON, VT.
The Freeman thus speaks of this remark
able we'll:
This we'll has existed seven winters aud
six summers. It's depth is Al feet feet.
The water is from two and a half to three
feet III depth. A coat of ice is formed on
the wall of the we'll the whole depth of the
water. The ice becomes so thick in winter as
to render it difficult to dip up water with q
common bucket. The surface of the water
also freezes over every night during the win
ter. Ice has thus formed four inches in one
night, the present winter. The owner is
obliged to descend into the we'll and cut
open the ice every morning in winter, in
order to draw water. As spring advances,
the surface of the wates ceases to freeze,
but the ice remains on the well around the
water, diminishing in quantity as summer
advances, but does not entirely disappear,
some remaining until the next winters freez-
ing commences, The we'll yields and abun.

ADVERTISEMENTS gentleman who
has travelled great deal, remarked to US,
the other day, that he considered the ad'
vertlsing columns of newspaper as infal-
lible mirrors of the business of a place.
The fact has been established, that not on
ly does advertising and merit open the way
to fortune, but those who advertise are
more liberal dealers and, inasnuch as they
keep themselves and their wares constantly
before the public, it is certain evidence
that they have what they advertise, and are
anxious to secure customers whom they will
exert themselves to retain by liberal dealing.
We can point to our advertising columns
with pleasure, and would say to our friends,
by all means, bestow your patronage upon
those whose advertisements there appear, as
they will be found to be honest, liberal, min
ded and accommodating men in business

REMARKABLE HISTORY OF A TORPEDO
BoAT.-A Confederate report of the de.
fences of Mobile Ala, narrates the event.
ful history of torpedo boat as follows:
One very remarkable vessel of this sort
was constructed in Mobile and sent BY rail
to Charleston, where it was used against the
Federal feet.
1t was built of boiler iron, was about
thirty. five feet long, and was manned by q
crew of nine men, eight of whom worked
the propeller by hand. The ninth steered
the boat and regulated her movements be-.
low the surface of the water. She could
be submerged at pleasure to any desired
depth, or could be propelled upon the sur.
face In smooth, still water her movements
were exactly controlled, and her speed was
about four nots. It was intended that she
should approach any vessel lying at anchor,
pass under her keel, and drag after her q
floating torpedo, which would explode on
striking the side or bottom of the ship at.
tackled.
She could remain submerged more than
half an hour without Inconvenience to the
crew.
Soon after her arrival in Charleston,
Lieutenant Payne of the Confederate navy,
with eight others, volunteered to attack the
Federal feet with her. While preparing
for their expedition the swell Of passing
steamer caused the boat to sink suddenly,
and all hands, except Lieutenant Payne,
who was at the moment standing in the open
hatch way, persisted. She was 5000 raised
and again made ready for service. Lieuten.
ant Payne again volunteered to command
her. While lying near Fort Sumter she
capsized and again sunk in deep water,
drowning all hands except her commander
and two others.
Being again raised and prepared for ac-
tion, Mr.. Aunley, one Of the constructors,
made an experimental cruise in her in
Cooper river. While submerged to great
depth, from some unknown cause she be.
came unmanageable, and remained for many
days on the bottom of the river with her
crew of nine dead men.
A fourth time was the boat raised; and
Lieutenant Dixon, of Mobile, of the 2lst
volunteers, with eight others, went out of
Charleston harbor in her and attacked and
sunk the Federal steamer Housatonic.
Her mission ct last accomplished, she dis
appeared forever with her crew. Nothing
is known of their fate, but it is believed
they vent down with the enemy.
