THE JBwELRY MAN.-This rather no.
torious individual was in town Satur-
day, and victimized some of the
green 'uns out of about $l45. Before be-
ginning the sale of his jewelry he told
the crowd about him who he was, and
even advised them not to invest their
money with him, or they would be
cheated. Bnt unheeding the advice, they
bought his goods quite freely until
"done" for the amount above stated.
We are informed that he took upwards
of 500 at Brandon and $50 at Bristol
during the stay of Bailey & Cos Circus
in those places.

THE POLITICAL GUILLoTINE.-We learn
from Walton's Journal that there has
been copperhead gathering at Mont
pelier to farm out the federal offices in
Vermont. so!look out for the guillotine.
If the President wishes to make Ver-
mont unanimous against him, copper
head office-holders excepted, he has only
to follow the advice Of Atkins, Cain,
smalley & Co., in the distribution of pa
tronage in Vermont.

AcCIpENT.-Frank Reed and Mr.. Carey,
of Brattleboro, met with serious acci-
dent last week. As they were at work
at the Town Hall adjusting the stage
for some new scenery to be placed there,
the timber, against which leaned the
ladders on which they were standing
gave away, and they were thrown sever
al feet to the floor and badly though
not fatally bruised and wounded. Med
ical aid was Immediately called in and
their wounds dressed when they were
conveyed to their homes, and we believe
are doing as well as could be expected.

THE CANADIAN CRoPs.-The Montreal
papers give full and detailed reports
of the condition Of the crops throughout
Canada. Harvesting had begun in some
localities when these returns were COM
piled, and there was reason for the belief
that one of the most bounteous crops
within the memory of man would again
fill Canadian barns and rick yards to
repletion, but the rains of the past
six or eight weeks have, in very many
districts, destroyed these hopes; and
judging from the present almost dismal
prospect, it appears that in Lower Cana
da almost one-half of the cereal and
nearly ali the potato crop will be des-
troyed. Upper Canada has also been az
fected by the wet weather, but by no
means TO such an unprecedented extent.

There is decidedly a lamentable
thoughtlessness, We might say reck-
lessness, on the subject of expenditure
throughout the community. Itshould be
therefore, the duty Of every economist
and philanthropist to endeavor to diff
fuse more rational ideas on the subject
of economy, and promote amore simple
and frugal way of living than is gener-
ally practiced in this country.

formerly of Cuttingsville, was relieved

ion into Civil War shall be allowed by
you TO dictate the terms of Reconstruc-
tion, you will have heedlessly sown the
bitter seeds of future rebellions and
bloody strife. Already. you are threat
ened with a recognition by the President
OF sham Congress made up of the fac.
tions which recently coaleseed at Phila-
delphia on platform Of Johnsonism--a
Congress constituted by nullifying and
overriding a plain law of the land-a
Congress wholly inspired from the
White House, and appealing to the sword
alone for support. So elaring an at
tempt at usurpation would be even more
criminal than absurd. Happily the peo-
pie, by electing an overwhelming major
ity of thoroughly loyal representatives,
are rendering its initiation impossible.
We cannot close without a most de-
served tribute to the general fidelity
wherewith, in view of the Presidents
detection, the great body OF the people,
and even Of the Federal office holders,
stand fast by their convictions and their
principles. The boundless patronage Of
the Executive, though most unscrupu-
lously welded against those to whose
votes he owes it, has corrupted very few,
either of those who shared or OF those
who would willingly share in its enjoy
ment. Not one of the twenty-five States
which voted to re-elect Abraham Lincoln
has given in its adhesion to the Presi-
dents policy; while New Jersey, the
only free State that voted against him,
has added herself to the number.
Our great war has taught impressive
ly the peril of injustice; and the lesson
has sunk deep into millions of hearts.
The American people, chastened by suf-
tering, are wiser and nobler than they
were, with a quicker and more open ear
for every generous suggestion. The fear
full lessons of Memphis and New Or.
leans have not been lost on them, as is
proved by the result of the recent cleo
tions in Vermont and Maine. We cher
ish no shadow of doubt that Pennsylva-
mia, Ohio, Indiana, and Iowa first, then
New York, New Jersey, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin, Kansas and Minnesota,
will do likewise, and that a true restora-
tion, a genuine, abiding Peace, will thus
be secured to our cOuntry--a Peace that
will endure, because based on the ever
lasting foundations of Humanity, JUS
tice, and Freedom.
