having become familiar with the modus

venture withl"ten gold" 1t was,a chit"
and five hundred dollars were to her
credit. She was surprised as well as,
delighted, and was not slow in follow
ing the temptation to try again. Gold
moved, and fortune smiled once more.
She was too shrewd to be rash, and had,
too much self possession to become gid
dy. Again and again, in the course of
the week, she sent orders to her broker,
and though not always in luck, she net
ted so well that before the close of the
month which opened the year 1865-in
which month she first attempted TO
fathom the secrets Of the Great Bear
she had check drawn to her order for
five thousand dollars, which the first
days of February saw glittering in a
jewel on her bosom. March followed
February, ana May succeeded April; and
through the order of the months till
the middle of June, our fair, steady-eyed,
Cautious Spectator continued to play
her part with a success probably an
equaled by any one on the street who
operated only upon limited scale,
though Of course with frequent harrow

extent Of one hundred thousand dollars

Dull times came, and for 3 season she

advantage OF the recent downward
movement in gold--having been seized
at the came time with keen desire for
some OF the glittering gauds that her
eye fell upon in one OF the imperial

a FEARFUL LEAP.--On Monday even
ing, d man named D0olin, from st. AL
bans came in on the cars and put up at
Flanagan's Hotel, and was put to bed in
the third story. About two o'clock, he
aroused the inmates OF the house by
cries of Murder" and other similar
alarms, but was soon quieted and got
back to bed--nOt, however, to remain
long. He had oaen left but short time
when ne got up again, and going into
the hall, made rush for the window,
leaping through it and alightipg on the
frozen ground some thirty feet or more
below. After this, he ran about one
hundred rods, shouting murder, before
he was Overtaken. He was finally taken
to the jail AID confined in q cell until
daylight, when DR.. Bates was called in
and found him so furious that he had to
resort to the novel practice of admins
terine chl0roform by throwing it upon
him with syringe, until he became in
sensible, and his cell was opened and
his slight wounds dressed. After being
put in the cell be cut his flesh about his

MIDDLETowN. - Union Rg0tcHg. Good
Po,rde' in LoyaI and Cqgp@hepd hands .-On
the evening of the 4th inst, when the
news arrived at Middletown that the
Union ticket in Connecticut had glori-
Ously triumphed-that Gen. Hawley was
elected by fair majority and both
branches Of the Legislature were large
ly Union, Union men reiOiced and good
feeling prevailed to such an extent that
twenty. five heavy guns were fired to
celebrate the triumph. 50 enthusiastic
was the celebration that it was almost
intolerabIe for the copperheads. They
were so greatly chagrined that they de-
termined to drown their feelings in the
flowing bowl" and accordingly sought
some suitable retreat where they could
indulge their bacChanalian prOpenSities
in mutual sympathy. But late at night,
after the most respectable portion OF So
ciety had retired, they became so indig-
nant on account OF their bal whisky ana
the general rejoicing of the people, that
they decided upon revenge. In pursu-
ance of this decision the cannon was
stolen and drawn very near the residence
Of a respectable and influential gentle
man whom the jewellers supposed had
done most in aid of the evening" demon
stration. They designed to blow the
glass from the windows and otherwise
ipjure his property: but fortunately
when they had loaded the gun and re-
peatcd'y applied the torch, it refused to
speak, and each time tzzled out. Just
ut this moment one Of the inmates OF
the house being awake, saw the flashing
Of the powder, and instantly compre-
hending what was going on outside,
aroused the other occupants, who I'm
medately started out, resolutely deter
mined to stop the further prosecution Of
the Infamous designs Of this inJOxica-
ted band, Upon their first appearance
the towards skedaddled with the great
est precipitation These three or four
gentlemen pursued the bathrooms only a
short distnnCe, wsen one Of them fired
pistol into the air which he had taken
the precaution to place in his pocket be-
fore leaving the house. instantly the
dastardly fellows were so terrified that
some Of them surrendered themselves up
as prisoners, begging for mercy aud len-
iency, while others took refuge under
feuces and in piles Of lumber. The next
morning the powder which the unfor-
tunate copperheads had left in thci2 pre-
cipitate flight was used by Union men
to further celebrate the Union success in
Connecticut. This time the gun did not
fIzzle: but, although the powder be-
longed to copperheads, when the torch
was applied by loyal men, il spoke sew
ersl times tgiumphantly, sending its
| pea.s from hill top to hill top and echoes
answered hack to echoes until the sound
died away in the far distance. or such
despicabe material IS copperheadism
composed in Middletown. Like their gun
they always fzzIe ont whenever they
attempt anything. A CITIZEN.

A few English politicians affect to be-
lieye that if Lord Russell had complied
with the wishes of many tories and &C
coded to the proposition of Napoleon to
join France in recognizing the Southern
Confederacy, there would now be no
such thing as Fenianism to disturb the
repose of the British realm. English
men have recently made public state
ments of their regrets that such an al
lance was not made for the recognition
md maintenance of the rebel confede-
racy. But they are most thoroughly
mi staken in their calculations of the con-
sequences of such a step. Such an al
lance would have nerved and united
the Americans in the loyal States as
they never could have been united under
any other circumstances. Fenianism,
which was well organized before the re-
bellion commenced, would have assum-
ed dimensions within six months after
such an alliance that would not only
have wrested Canada from all foreign
control but would have thrown upon
Irish soil by the help of our naval and
mercantile marine, force that would
have lost forever the Emerald Isle to the
British crown. That alliance would
have added million of men for this
diversion from Irishmen in this country
and Canada, and put arms into the
hands Of million of residents in Ire
land in addition.
As it was, the squirting toward recog-
milton, and the bad faith of the English
government, mainly contributed to swell
the Feniau ranks to their present dimeu-
sions in this country; and had the open
alliance threatened actually occurred
there would have been the biggest Irish
row this or any other country ever saw.
The alliance would have added at least
million OF volunteers to our armies
from The Anglo and German Americans,
within = very few months. Our foreign
commerce would have been for 4 time
suspended; and the seas would have
swarmcd with privateers that no man
could number.

A SCENE IL A RAILWAY CAR,--0n a
passenger train from Bellows Falls to
Rutland, the other day, there was Il
somewhat heavy male passenger, who
was quite three sheets in the wind.
He occupied passenger seat, with his
muddy boots both on the top of the
back Of the seat in his front, with his
head resting on the back Of his own,
profoundly snoring. A gentleman sit
ting before him didn't quite like the
proximity Of his boots, and politely re-
quesJed him to remove them. This in
terruption Of his nap gave great offence
to the sleeping beauty, who swore and
threatened and refused to comply with
the request. The Conductor was called
and order restored, but the offended
passenger was still more enraged at the
gentleman who sat before him, so that
when the aforesaid gentleman was get
ting of the train at station East Of
Rutland, boots followed him with the
evident intention OF dealing him a blow;
but the retiring passenger and the cars
moved rather too quickly and he lost
his opportunity. He returned to his
seat in quiet.
On the train arriving at Rutland,
boots was again asleep, and although
several passengers knew his destination
required him to get Of, yet they per-
mitted him to sleep soundly on until the
conductor awoke him some distance far
ther toward Burlington than he in
tended to go. Whether his walk back
sobered him, or made him wiser we do
not learn.
