Death OF Henry SllnchOur.

Our readers will notice under the
mortuary head the announcement of
the death of Henry Stinehour, Esq,
of Highgate. His age and well known
characteristics justify more than a
simple record of his death.
Henry Stinohour, son of George
Stinchour was the second white
child born i'll Highgate. He was
born in June, 1857, and was one OF
sixteen children, eight sons and oigh'
daughters, all Of whom lived to be
men land women, aud all Of whom
were married OF these, five are now
living, two males and three females.
Henry Stinehour was a tanner and
currier by trade having been an APP
prentice of the late David Stevens,
Senior. of st. Adams This business
he carried on extensively ut Swanton
Falls, for several years an d
afterwards at II & h & at c Falls,
when his health being impaired
lie accepted deputation under the
late Timothy Foster, Sheriff of Frank

large amount of business for five years

gagged in the stage business with Ma
hlon Cottril of Montpelier, Col Hen
ry Thomas of Burlington, the Messrs.
Hyde Of Castleton, and Nelson Mott
of st. Johns At this time he kept a
hotel, and his house became widely ia
nous for its abundant cheer and sub
stantial comforts, and the absence of
all pretence and extrayagant prices. ~
In fact, so remarkable was his estab-
lishment for those desirable particu-
lars, as to attract notice and secure
honorable mention by several Europe
an tourists He was the pioneer of
the village north of the Missisquoi riv-
er in Highgate, and upon the spot
where he rooted out the pine stumps
now stands his hotel, which he kept
until his death, and which will con-
tinue, for the present. TO be maintained
by his family as heretofore.
Mr.. Stinehour married in early life
Margaret Carrigan, niece of the late
Theophilus Mansfield, Esq, who with
one son and three daughters, survives
him. Henry Stinehour was a prompt
and thorough business man, and emf
nently social in his nature. He was
an energetic and honest man, and left
wide circle of friends to mourn his
decease.
His funeral was attended on Good
Friday, April 10Th, when an appropri-
ate discourse was preached to a large
concourse by the Rev. A. j. Samson Of

General Howard has aIvices from

Among other legal questions grow

Senator Wilson I'm Richm Ond.

Senator Wilson, who is making a
trip South, made a speech at Rich
mond on the 22d inst, which seems to
have been well received. We give the
telegraph report:
Senator Wilson addressed a crowd
of about 5000 persons from the Capt.
tol steps this afternoon. Nearly all
those present were colcred, though all
classes of whites were represented.
He was introduced by Gov. pierpolnt,
and after abiding to the fact that he
visited Richmond upon the invitation
of several members of the Legislature,
he proceeded to give the history of the
Reconstruction bill. He then recited
the events at the close of the war to
show that President Johnson's policy,
adopted against the will of the nation,
had caused more unhappiness than
the work OF any one man in America.
1t again excited the men who had been
more than willing to accept the terms
of Congress. The Reconstruction bill
was not passed to humiliate the peo-
pie of the South, but to meet the needs
of the whole country. The question
now before the Southern States is
whether they will elect men to State
offices and Congress who are in favor
OF an honest acceptance of the policy
of the nation, not men who still mourn
over a lost canse and who still hope
that something may turn up to over
throw that policy and restore old ideas
and measures, Patriotism demands
that the latter class shall never more
be permitted to participate in the
management of the general govern
ment- The apostacy of Andrew John
son had made the Republican triumph
at the next Presidential election GER
tain. The speaker waited all classes
Of men, the colorcd, the white, the 10y
al and those who had abandoned the
wicked heresy of secession, to stand
together on the national platform of
the Republican party. As for the col
ored vote of Virginia be had no fear
OF its being combatted by secessionists.
lie appealed to the old Wings Of Vir-
GINA and the followers Of Henry Clay,
i who declared that slavery was griey-
Gus wrong that no contingency could
make 1t right, to seize the occasion
and unite their fortunes with the Re
publican party. Now was their day
and hour to carry Virginia by an over
whelmlng majority To that class who
are DISTINGUISHED for participating in
the rebellion, he would say that by
speaking and working for the national
policy they would show their country
men that disabilities now imposed on
them ought to be removed, and coun-
Try that had proved its generosity
would not forget them.
Governor Pierpoint, after Mr.. Will
son had concluded, made brief
speech, advising the colored people to
work and make the old State bloom
again.
Messrs Hunnicut and Tucker fol-
lowed in short addresses. The Gov
ernor announced his intention of ap.
pealing Immediately to the military
tribunal, against the attrcks of the
Richmond press.

Frank MOOre'S "WOmen Of the
War;"

This best of the books of the war
yet published, is now offered to the
public by the canvassers. We feel
sure it will be found to be IL work of
real merit 1t seeks no ephemeral
popularity from highly colored and
Munchausenish stories of impossible
adventures by doubtful females fgur-
ing as dashing couriers in our armies
or "spies" in the Confederate camps.
But its records are the truthful histo-
ries of more noble lives No charac-
ter is here introduced that was not
known to be pure. Here we have the
experiences of women who forsook the
comforts of elegant homes, for the
wild scenes, the miseries and the dan
gers of army life, actuated solely by
the desire to minister to the suffering
soldiers. And what scenes they en-
countered Sometimes in the thick
of battle, amidst plunging shot and
bursting shells, succored the fallen
soldier, regardless of their own peril;
often seen at the hospital cot, bath
ing the brow of the sufferer, attending
to his wounds, and cheering him in
his loneliness and agony with some
saving delicacy that only the thought
FIJI heart and ready hand of woman
ever brings. How many owe their
lives to-day to the ministration of these
self-sacrifcing women? Margaret
Breckenridge, Mrs. Fanny Rickers
Mrs. Mary Brady, Mrs. Belle Rey-
nolds, Mrs. Mary Morris Husband
and many more in this noble list
they are names that deserve to live
Only by reading the facts of THEN
lives in the army facts oftentime'
more thrilling than any romance-cal
we be led to realize the beauty and no
bility of woman's soul, or the true he
roism, and the unselfsh, faithful deyo
ton of which women are capable
This is the true field for material fo
an interesting book; and the autho
has done his work well. Thousand
OF our soldiers who will see this hook
will take it eagerly to their hearts an'
homes, for the grateful and nndyinl
memories with which its character
are. associated in their own breasts.

commenced their regular daily trips
between Ogdensburgh and Chicago

sengers, and second cabins with cook
stoves and other conveniences for
those who desire to furnish their own
provisions. The route is also said to
be the cheapest as well as best The
fact that passengers are carried
through in only six days without

inducement, which will not, we are
