THANKs.--We return our thanks TO
the Vermont press, who 80 generally and
without distinction of political party took
the occasion of our new dress OH the first
of January, to speak kindly of us, and
we assure them all that their generous
words are noted and fully appreciated.
As we said in that number, we sent many
copies to old acquaintance and friends
not subscribers and living out Of our
field of circulation, to extend to them
the greetings of the season, and from
whom we have also received many kind
expressions and good wishes, and among
them letter which we prize most highly
from a lady in South Woodstock Of
eighty-two years Of age, written in plain
hand and evident vigor of mind, and
every word fit for print. We take the lib
erty of copying the close Of her letter,
which after generous words personal to
ourself and the TINES is as follows:
"Our country is still in peril. All the
fragments of truth are to be gathered up
that nothing be lost of the blood that has
been shed. The cause you espouse will
encourage you to continue in well doing.
May you have the guidance of heaven
and truth to sustain you'll"
OLD CoIN.-Mr. G. +. Gibson of Cam
bridgeport, has in his possession and has
shown to us some interesting specimens
of old coin and continental money. OF
the latter one is a note of $50 printed in
1879, in two colors, and in excellent state
Of preservation. Another piece Of paper
money is a note of " forty shillings,' or
two pounds" issued by the colony of
New Hampshire" dated Nov. 3, 1775,
and signed "Jno. Gilman, Receiver Gen.
eral." OF the coin Mr.. ellison has two
dug from the ruins of Catana, a city in
Scicily, destroyed by an eruption of Mt.
Etna. 1t is in good state of preserva-
ton, and must be some 1900 years old,
and perhaps the oldest coin known. The
letters or characters on this coin are
Greek, and the city above mentioned was
a Greek colony, and thus its age is APP
proximated with tolerable certainty of
correctness. He has another coin OBJ
tanned at the same place and time but its
Distinguishing features are much battered
Another coin in his possession is an En-,
glish copper, dated 1772, and was found
at Fort Ticonderoga, where it was proba
lost by British soldiers before they were
disturbed by ETHAN ALLEN. Another
was found at Phillipston, Mass. with
other relies, in the grave of an Indian

upon if in modern times. Mr.. Gilsor

him donation visit Jan. 30th, which
amounted to s1S5. The Masons, as a
token of respect " for him as citizen, "
presented him with barrel of -four of

vie in seeing which could do the most.
The Town Hall was filled to its utmost.

ANDovER.- School at Simonsville
is enjoying an excellent term this winter
with its present accomplished teacher,
Miss Eliza S. Stickney.
The Saw and Grist Mill at Peasville,
now owned by Abner Felt, has been
fitted up by him for saving chair
stuff, &c. Mr. Felt is well deserving of
success in this business, and his well
stocked mill yard shows that he means
to have it.
Quite large quantity of Scythe sticks
were sent from this town to Bellows Falls
last year and more will soon follow. Piles
of saw logs are also being transported
from here to the mill of Parmenter &
Powers at Chester.
Mr.. Wetherby has sold his farm at the
south part of the town to Roswell French
of Chester for $4,000.
Timothy Hazelton is still to be found
at his old stand at Peasville, doing all
kinds of job and nice wood work.
| The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Walker
of Peasville, made them donation visit
Thursday, Jan. Both, presenting such
gifts as they were severally disposed. In
the evening the society held festival at
the Town Hall. Singing, and a we'll
cooked oyster supper, for which the mod
crate sum of one dollar couple was
charged, made up the programme of the
evening. At the request of Mr.. Walker
no games of forfeit were allowed. Not
outstanding these restrictions the supper
table was generously patronized, and the
proceeds amounting to some thirty dol
lars, were presented to Mr.. and Mrs
Walker.

Sim Walters who i in jail at
Boise City. charged with the murder
of Bacon. is a native Of Kentucky,
raised in Missouri, but has lived two
or three years in Montana. lie is
only about tweniy-two gears o. age
and IL guilty of the crime with which
h. IS charged, has developed de-
gree of human depravity. seldom
cqualled, unless Il shalt he shown
that he was Iahoring under partial
insanity. We knew him Ia Montana
ia 1865, aS well as his father aud
brother, who were all well respected
by their neighhors in Deer Lodge
Valley, nearly all Of whom had known
them in Missouri. His luther, sid
ney Walters, had in tho Summer OF
1855, quite a good mining claim ON
jefferson 6uleh. but ia lS6,h the
claim failed, after expanding eoRsid
erablc money on i, which lett them
with limited means. In the Winter
Of '65, Sim was selling cattle, which
he ana bis father owned On Race
Track Greek, to the butchers IN Deer
Lodge City. II was during this time
that we became acquainted, aud oc-
cupicd the same house for some time,
a store in Deer Lodge, where our
own observation aud the condolences
placed in the Walters by Dock For.
man, the proprietor, who had known
them in Missouri. aud who had been
partner with Sims uncle IN Kansas,
led us to torn a very favorable opin
ion both OF father aud sons. In the
mean time, il was generally under
stood that Sim was engaged to be-
married 10 young lady OF good cul-
mre au,baccomplishmrnls in the Val
ley, hut whose family were opposed
10 the match on peculiarly grounds.
After we lcfi the Territory, as We
learn nom Sim, n brother af the
young lady took occasion 70 insult
him, and was shut in return, but not
dangerously. sim then lef the
country, went 10 Missouri and Ken
lucky, but finding thar country TO
slow returned 10 salt Lake, and en-
gagged as wngon-hoSs to come to
l,oise City. from Boise he came to
this place, and finally settled on Rey-
nolds Greek where he engaged IN
farming with Bacon. For some
months past he ln,s been talking of
buying the ranch, aud IL was while
they were on the way 20 Boise, os-
tenslbly 10 complete the hasie, that
lIacon lost his life. Sim is accused
Of the killing under circumstances
which, If true, are too revolving to
think of.
We would fain hope they are false,
or il true, that he was not in his right
mind, bnt OF this we will not express
an opinion until the court shall de-
eide. We have already given more
of this young mans history than we
intended when We began, but being
possessed Of a knowledge OF this
much Of his career, aud rs general
interest is being manifested in the
case. We thought il might be interest
ing to our readers to know who he
was, and what he had been. His
father is in Missouri and his brother
In California. They are respectfully
connected and this accusation,
whether true or false, will fall upon
them with whitening effect.

All the Indian prisoners hithe

All the Indian prisoners hitherto
held at Camp Three Forks, have
been removed TO Fort Boise, where
they can be kept and fed at less ex-
pense than at the Camp. Those at
Harvey and Warner are still kept at
those camps in consequence of a
stipulation In the treaty, when they
surrendered, that they should not be
taken TO Boise. We learn from Tip
Wilder. wagon master Tor Creighton,
that they receive regular daily RI
ton, but are allowed to hunt ducks
and catch fish along the lakes, by
which they partially subsist them
selves. Should our present relations
with the Indians continue, we shall
have no more reason to complain of
the Indian policy, but should the
troops be removed, look out again
for blood.

General Blair, as will be seen, is a
representative of the citizen-soldiery
of the nation. He is one of the very
few volunteer officers, uneducated in
the regular" school, who has risen by
his merits from the rank of Lieuten-
ant of Infantry to that of Major Gen
eral, and whose performances as SOL
dier fully justified in the wisdom of
his promotion. In war or in politics,
in the field or in the forum, Frank p.
Blair has ever proved, by the test of
the most thorough practice, a success.

bestowed honor to the statesmanly
abilities as we'll as to the soldierly
