lived an eccentric character. Squire S..
noted for his oddity and singular speeches.
The town hcnrse having, by long use. got
into dilapidatcd condition, it was deter,
mined TO get up a subscription and repair

s. and asked him to subscribe for the
object. "No," says the Squire, II won't
give single cent. Twenty years ago I

ever had any use for it from that day to
this, and won't give a cent TO repair it :"

by order of the War Department, and con-
fined in the old Capitol prison, on charge
of corresponding with the rebels and deal

fenced to ten years Imprisonment in the
Albany penitentiary, but after the lapse of
a year pardoned by Mr. Lincoln has insti

will rely mainly on the Act of Congress in
Identifying certain officers of the Govern
ment for acts done in their official capacity to
further the suppression of the rebellion, and
as this case will test the conStitutionality OF
the Act in question, it has been considered
that the defence can be better conducted by

l0. ReSolred That the welcome we have
received from the loyal citizens OF Philadel
phIa, under the roof OF the time honored
hall IN which the declaration of Indepen-

mating hope that the principles of just and
equal government, which were made the
foundation of the Republic at its origin,
snail become the corner stone OF the Recon
struction.
IL. Reso1red, That we cherish with ten
der hearts the memory of the virtues, pa
trlotism, sublime faith, upright christian
life and generous nature Of the martyr Presi-
dent, Abraham Lincoln.
T. ResOlued, That we are in favor of uni
Versal liberty the world over, and feel the
deepest sympathy with the oppressed peo
pie OF all countries in their struggles for
freedom, and the inherent right of all men
to decide and control for themselves the
character Of the government under which
they live.
- Resoloed, That the lasting gratitude
OF the nation Is due to the men who bore the
brunt of the battle and in covering them
selves with imperishable glory, rave saved
to the world its hope of free government,
and relying upon the invincible soldiers and
saflorS who made the grand army and navy
of the Republic to be true to the principles
for which they fought, we pledge them that
we Will stand by them in maintaining the
honor due the saviors of the nation and in
securing the fruits of their victories

protounding gratitude and love the precepts
of Washington, that we should accustom
ourselves TO consider the Union as 1.-The
primary object of patriotic desire" which
has heretofore sustained us with great pow
er in our love for the Union, when so many
of our neighbors in the South were waging
war for its destruction, our deep and abid-
ing love for the memory of the Father of
his Country, for the Union is more deeply
engraven upon our hearts than ever.
Want of room precudes the publication
of the address this week, but we will en-

Union Victory in Vermont.

Vermont voted on Tuesday, Sept. 4th,
for Governor, three members of Congress,
and members of the State Legislature. The
State Senate is unanimously Union, and the
House 6S to 3 In the Third Congression-

A DARING BANK ROBBERY. On Satur-
day afternoon Sept. Sth, daring robbery
was committed on the First National Bank
of Clearfeld, by Enos Bloom and Ants
Bloom, of Pike township, and Cortes En-
hard, of Knox township, this county. The
officer in attendance having just passed in
10 the Directors room, and upon turning a.
round observed some one pass out OF the
front door stealthily, fastened into the
banking room, when he discovered the rob-
berry by some bank bills being displaced.
Pursuit was made at once, and Erhard cap
tured within a few squares of the bank.
Just before Erhard was overtaken he was
observed to throw something over fence
and into lot, which, on being picked up,
proved to be 500, the money he had taken
-whereupon he was lodged in jail. Accord
ing to Ernard's s statement, afterwards, the
robbery was preconcerted-that Ants Bloom
entered the bank just as the bank officer
walked into the directors room and leaning
over the counter succeeded in getting hold
Of package of money without being detect
ed, which, on being counted by the part,
jus, outside the borough limits, proved t
contain s250-that having been thus sue
cessful without detection they concluded t.
make another haul. and that he. Erh ard
accordingly entered the bank as in the frs
instance and made grab and ther
made off as speedily as possible but was ap
pretended in the manner above stated
The two Blooms were also arrested ane
sd2ed in jail on Tuesday forenoon.
