windhana County Court.

In the case of Whitaker and wife v.
Martha Perry, the jury rendered verdict
for plaintiffs for $3.50 and costs.
The next case was G. NJ Lee and Bros.
Y. Fl. II. and II. L. FELTON,. From the
Brattieboro Phoenix we copy as follows:
This was an action Of assumpsit, for the
non performance Of the defendants con-
tract to sell and deliver plaintiffs, at the
Brattieboro depot, 800 sides Of leather at
80 cents per pound. The plaintiffs are
manufacturers of boots and shoes at Athol,
Mass, and the defendants are tanners at
Jamaica, VT. The plaintiffs claimed this
contract was made in July, 1864, and that
they we're to have twelve days to deter
mine whether they would accept said
leather at the price aforesaid. That they
did within that time communicate to the
defendants by letter that they would take
the leather, and wanted 100 sides at once.
That the defendants acknowledged the
same and promised to deliver this first 100
sides IN 3 few days.
Tie defendants claimed, and their evil
dence tended to show, that it was agreed
and understood that if Congress- which was
then in session; raised the tax on leather
within this twelve days they were not to
be bound by their contract. That Congress
aid in fact raise said tax, and IN conse-
quence Of so doing that they were in no
manner bound by their contract.
The jury rendered verdict for the de-
PENDANTS. Howe and Ssoddard for plain
tiffs !; Butler and Wheeler for defendants.
The next case was J. F. Burrows ".
Reuben Walker, action Of ejectment to OBJ
tain possession of certain piece of real
estate in Dummerston. The jury return
ed q verdict in favor Of the defendants.
Butler and Wheeler, FIELD and Tyler
and Stoughton for plaintiff, and Howe and
Stoddard for defendant.
State '. Charles Reed.-ln this case the
respondent was arraigned for trial upon an
Indictment for an assault with intent to kill

house Of one Of their neighbors, about
dark on the evening of the 9th of Sep.

of this neiehbor Mr.. Goddard, relative to

interrupted Mr. Streefer, and asked him

him who, and he replied, Everybody

The PRESIDENT AND THE CivIL
RIeHrs BILL.-The Washington cores
pendent of the New York Tribune says
that's the President expresses himself
satisfied with the result, declaring that if
the members conscientously considered
that they ought to pass it, he would not OBJ
ject, and would carry out his provisions so
far as they depended upon him. The De-
mocracy are out of humor with everybody,
and are cursing the President Justify,
charging that he could have protected the
veto if he would have done properly. and
declare that they are done with him."
A few days since two or three Union
Congressman from Michigan called upon
the President and during the interview in
reference TO the Civil Rights bill, be said
he was opposed to it, but it was now
law and should be executed. Perhaps, he
said, it would be found less Objectionable
than he had thought; or, if his own views
were sustained, it would hereafter be amend

Admission of Colorado.

The admission of Colorado came up
again in the Senate on Tuesday and
spirited debate ensued. Mr.. Sumner vig-
orously opposed admission and was sup
ported by Mr.. Guthrie, who availed him
self of the opportunity to give Mr.. Sum
ner gentle rap for his vote on the cleo
ton of Mr.. Stockton. Governor Nye of
Nevada followed in one of his character
istic speeches. He hesitated always, he
said, to differ from the giant of the Senate
(Mr. SumneD, but he now felt within him
the courage of the STRIPPING who strove
against the giant Of the Philistines, AZ
ter reiuting the arguments Of MIR. Sumner
against the admission, on account Of her
small population and small area of iilage
land, which is twice as much as the area
Of tillage land in Massachusetts, Governor
Nye proceeded to discuss the objection of
the Senator from Massachusetts to the
word " white" in the constitutions word
which seems to have terror for him. /
will tell the Senator, said Mr.. Nye, that
neither the words white or black alarm
me, and the phantom word white will soon
cease TO trouble the country. Before the
sun has completed another annual circuit,
white men and black men will vote side
by side in Colorado.
Judge Doolittle was moved by some of
Gov. Nye's remarks on sufiage to declare
that if he and the men who act with him
attempted TO force negro suffrage upon the
people of any State by Federal interior
encs, their party will go down under the
heel of public opinion.
Mr.. Stewart blandly asked whether the
people eff the States would not accept an
amendment to the Constitution enforcing
universal suffrage.
No, sir,"-replied Judge Doolittle en-
ergetically and en- phatically-" there are
not three States out of New England that
will accept an amendment establishing ne
gro suffrage"
Gov. Nye continued in his inimitable
style to urge the admission of Colorado
until dinner time arrived and the Senate
adjourned

SURPRISING A RIoT.--A recent riot
at Norfolk, Va, attending the celebration
of the passage of the Civil Rights Bill, was
suppressed by the aid Of the military, IN.
der the command Of Major Stanhope. In
the performance Of this duty--a somewhat
perilous one, owing TO the very small num-
Der OF troops at his command he was in
suited and menaced by the mob of white
citizens, who threatened to kill him, and
one shot was fred at him. At this juno
ture he made public declaration that Z" If
he and his men were further menaeed he
should be forced, in self-defence, to arm
the blacks TO assist him in carrying out his
orders"

A TIMELY SUGGEsTIoN.-An exchange,
abiding to the marked rapidty with which
the leaves and buds upon fiuit trees have
come forward during the past week, makes
the following suggestion, which is worthy
the immediate attention of every man who
owns fruit tree:
Equally prompt with the leaves and
buds are the worms that infest our fruit
trees. They have begun to form their
nests and to feed on the young foliage
With little attention now they can easily
be found and destroyed, and we beg of ev-
cry possessor Of fruit tree to declare
war Of determination upon the pests with
out delay. The surest way to kin them
is to crush nests and worms with the hand,
protected by glove or mitten, in the
morning or evening when all are in the
nest but when on limbs that cannot be
reached in this way, better cut off the
limb entirely than to suffer the worms to
remain and increase. We repeat it, at
tend to the worm nuisance at once, when a
good deal in the way of destruction can
be accomplished with comparatively little
effort"
As strong soap suds is sure death to the
worms, If PIT on freely, the expense of
their destruction is but trife.

IMMENSE SALT BEDs.-It is said that
the salt mines of Nevada throw in the
shade entirely all others known in the Uni
ted States. One bed is reported TO cover
1890 acres, yielding 3,000,000,000 tons
annually of salt, 80 per cent fine. No bot
tom to this salt bed has ever been discov-
cred. As deep as any wolk has gone, the
bed is solid rock salt, and from depth of
thirty feet the salt water comes in so
rapidly as to prevent work without efficient
pumping arrangements. The salt water
swells up TO the surface and overfows the
large floor from which the fine salt is con-
tinually gathered. The floor several hum
dred acres in area, has been so we'll lev
eled that the water flows evenly over it,
and this by exposure to the atmosphere.
is rapidly evaporated, leaving stratum of
fine white salt. This yield and and pro-
duction go on continually, and the more
rapidly it is removed the better the quality
of the salt.
