RoBBERY.-Mr. Samuel Vance, of
Glover, was robbed a few weeks since
of thirty-seven and a half dollars in
silver, by some one not supposed to
be very honest. Thief not caught
STORM-There was q smart shower
of rain accompanied with high winds
and hail, in the Southwest part of
Sutton and Potion, on Wednesday,
July 24th, very much injuring some
pieces of corn, grain, gardens, apple
and fruit trees, breaking window glass
and blowing down sheds, &c
JEFF. DAvIs.-We learn from the
Express, that this traitor and murder
er of thousands, has been on a visit to
Stanstead of late, and come so near
Vermont that he looked into il, but did
not venture to pollute our soil with
his presence. He appears to have
been treated with marked contumely
and insult by the loyal people on that
side of the line. One old lady whose
son was starved at AndersOnville,
Smarting at the wrongs done her and
her cherished offspring, threw a stone
at him as he rode by her in a carriage,
and he appears to have been treated
very shabbi!y by all respectable PEG
pie. The following is the way he was
snubbed by Henry Pierce, who thought
too much OF his cattle to allow them
to associate with such a reptile as
Davis
"Permission was asked that jeff.
might ride about the beautiful grounds
of Carlos Pierce ESQ, aud take a look
at his noted herds, but the request
was emphatically denied by Mr.. Il
Pierce, IN charge o( the premises " liz
declared in unmistakabIe language
''lhat in no event could JEFF Davis BE-
admitted to those grounds. " He erode
to portion Of the plain from which
he could get a look into Vermont
one OF the most loyal sections of thai
noble government, he stroye so might
! ly do destroy. We may rightly infer
that though the view was beautiful
indeed, the thoughts suggested ma,
not have been entirely pleasing. H,
took a hasty view Of the scene, am
left for Sherbrooke, evidently con
vinced that his friends and sympa
thizerS in Stanstead were like angels
visits few and far between.
