DEATH OF SAMUEL ooss, ESQ.

We have to record the death of our most
venerable citizen one who, for his age. and
character, and fidelity as the ruler Of his
house, we'll deserved the title Of patriarch.
SAMUEL Goss, Esq died at Montpelier, Sab
bath morning August 10, in the ninoteth
year Of his age He was, we think, the old
est printer and editor in Vermont. He was
born in Hollis, n. H., Nov. 30, l776. He
served an apprenticeship as printer at Woi-
oester Mass, with the late Amos Farley and
Rev. Leonard Worcester, in the office of
Isaiah Thomas, " the father of printers" In
February, 1898, Farley Il Goss established
at Peacham newspaper, called the " Green
Mountain Patriot" which they published
until March, 1907, and while at Peacham,
they were instrumental in bringing to that
town their friend, Worcester, then clergy
man, who became one Of the ablest, most in
auential and useful clergymen Of the ortho-
dox congregational church in North f. stern
Vermont In 1907, MIR. Goss removed his
printing Office to Montpelier, and in Septem.
Der Of that year commenced the publication
Of the Vermont Waterman" which he sold
in 1910 to the late Gen. T.. p. Walton and
Marx Goss, both of whom were apprentices
to Farley and Goss Mark Goss retired
,horty after, leaving that paper in the hands
Of Gen. Walton, and afterwards Of his son, ur-

The ATLANTIC CABLE. AT recent meet
ing Of the French Academy of Sciences, NJ.
Babinet suggested that il would be well to
take advantage Of the Atlantic telt graph to
determine with precision the Longitude of
the American terminus. There va, reason
TO make haste, he said, because there were
very few chances of the transmissions lasting
long. AZ reason for his opinion, NJ. Babi-
net produced piece Of heavy telegraph cable
which had been five years at the bottom Of
the British Channel. The exterior metallic
covering was completely eaten off by the salt
water, which had also commenced to affect
the central twist. After stating the differ
snce in the sizes of the cable exhibited and the
Atlantic Cable which is smaller, and averrins
that the ea-water destroys fully a millimetre
(about l-25 b part of an inch) Of the metallic
covering every year, NJ. Bsbinet reiterated
his belief that the success Of this cable would
be Of only ephemeral duration.

taking him up felt that his night clothes were
soaking wet. She struck light, when to
her horror she discovered that the clothes
were covered with blood, and on further ex-
animation found that one Of the arms Of the
child had been gnased TO the bone by raj.
and that hole was eaten through one Of lie
hands.

ALL Is LOVELY, &c-The President has
issued an array Of whereases, concluding with
the following proclamation;
" Now, therefore. 1, Andrew Johnson,
President Of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare that the instruction
which heretofore existed in the State Of Tex
as is at an end, and is to be henceforth so
regarded in that State as in the other States
before named, on which the said insurrection
was proclaimed to be at an end by the afore-
said proclamation of the % day Of April
And do further proclaim that said insur-
reotion is at an end, and that peace, order,
tranquility and civil authority nov exist in
and throughout the whole Of the United
States Of America"
This would be most excellent Itrue. The
fact, however, is, that" peace, order, tranquil
ty and civil authority do not exist in many
portions Of the rebel States, but that outrag-
es upon freedmen, ouuages upon Southern
Union men, and outrages upon Northern men
abound, and treason still rankles in the hearts
Of both magistrates and people
