there Is considerable activity at this time
along the wharves in that city where fish
ermen usually get their outfits for a cruise.
There are more men now getting ready
for the fishing banks than is usual at this

much sought by Maine men. The num-

NEWPORT ExPREss.-The Newport
Express comes to us greatly enlarged and
improved, showing evidences of thrift
and industry on the part of its enterpris-
ing proprietors, Messrs. Camp and Cum
mings. Under its present management,
the Express has become one Of the largest
and best newspapers in the State, and is
the most influential journal in north
eastern Vermont. David M. Camp, its
editor in chief, is a gentleman whose
ability and perseverance have enabled
him not only to build up his journal, but
has placed him in the foremost rank of
the profession in the State. The Express
is truly newspaper containing a variety
of intelligence from all sections and from
every hamlet in Orleans county, and in
our judgment the model looal newspaper
of Vermont, having its correspondent in
every town and village of the surrounding
country. We should have made an
earlier notice, but for the reason that we
had not seen copy for several weeks.
Success to our enterprising friends in
their efforts to improve their most excel
lent journal.

THE LATE Hon. MYRoN CLARK-
We find the following relative to the fu-
neral of the late Hon. Myron Clark, in
the Manchester Journal of last week
"The death of this gentleman having then
Just occurred, was barely noticed in our
issue of lost week. The funeral was at
ter ded on Wednesday afternoon from the
Congregational church in our village
Notwithstanding the severe storm then
prevailing, large number were assembled.
An impressive and appropriate discourse
was delivered by the pastor, Rev. X. 5.
Cushman, in which was touching trib-
ute to the memory of a good man and
valuable citizen The discourse was fol-
lowed by some remarks from DR.. Wick
ham, an acquaintance of more than thirty
years, on the character and usefulness of
the deceased.
The body was then conveyed to the re-
ceiving vault in our new cemetery, to
await the proper season for transferring
it to its final resting place near the beau
tiful monument which Judge Clark caus-
ed tie be erected there last fall, and in
scribed with his own name, and the names
of his family.
After copying the edito j notice Of
Judge Clark, that appeared in the HER-
AID, March 10th, with notifications the
following relative to his christian charac
ter, is added:
The above notice makes no mention Of
what constituted the browning excellence
of the character of Judge Clark. He made
public profession of religion and became
a member of the Conversational church
in this place in 1881. From that time to
the end of his life he was a firm and
liberal supporter of christian institutions,
and foremost in every good enterprise.
The church and congregation of which be
was member have sustained ii severe
loss in his removal.

The Elephant and a Bridge.

The well known sagacity of the elephant
recently had a remarkable exemplifcation
at st. John, in the province Of Quebeck.
The immense Ceylon elephant belonging TO
CampbclPs menagerie and circus, which was
to exhibit in Montreal, was the hero. We
will premise our statement with the fact
that, few weeks since, while travelling
from Waterbury to Northfeld, in the State
of Vermont, this elephant, in crossing
bridge over a creek, crushed the floor
with his enormous weight, and fell partly
through. his. fore. quarters only remaining on
the bridge. By this accident be was lamed
for several days, but not sufficiently to pre-
vent him from travelling When he was
brought to the long bridge over the Riche-
lieu river at st. John, he evidently retained
vivid recollection of this mishap,e and
neither coaxing, threats, pursuasione nor
force, could induce him to bulge an inch
on the to him perilous structure. Nor does
| it appear that his apprehensions were un-
founded, for the proprietors Of the bridge
| notified the menagerie manageB that
they were dubious of the capacity
of the bridge to bear the weight Of the
elephant, and that if they crossed him they
must do so at their own risk. The morning
was rather chilly, and as they did not wish
to risk his health by swimming, they con
cluded to make the venture. The band
chariot and an enormous den of performing
lions were started on ahead of him in ordel
to give him confidence, and when hsn saw
that they went safely over, he was inducei
to follow, which he did very slowly, testing
each plank and timber with his fore feet and
trunk as he progrosssd. Nhenszex -ha4 4als

he would cross over the division to the op
posite roadway, and would so progress IN
til he came to another doubtful place, vhsl
he would cross back again. He worke'
: along this way until he had come more tha

that neither road was. safe, and starte
rapidly back, driving back the long dens .
cages that were following, and clearing th
bridge for space Of ten or more rods. A

past him and he vented his spleen by picl
ing them up one by one with his trunk an
throwing them into the river, until he ha

been more than two hours in crossing, o

The fact that East Tennessee, the strong
hold of disfranchisement, says the Knoxville
Wing, has given decided majority for uni
versal suffrage, will, We trust, have very
salutary influence upon the next Legislature.
1t would have been a amisfortune if the Mid
die and Western division had gone one way
and the Eastern division the other, for the
vote would have made the line of demarca-
ton deeper and broader than ever. But
East Tennessee, who sent 10000 men into
the Union army, and rever bent the knee to
the Baal of secession, has voluntarily offered
the olive branch to her sister divisions,
and met them more than half way in the
peace-maker's work We shall be greatly
disappointed if Middle and West Tennes-
see do not show themselves fully worthy Of
the confidence so generously reposed in them
by the Eastern division. 4

Austria and Prussia seem to have been in
geniously misunderstanding each other, says
the New York Tribune ard now are willing
to approach an understanding with the
chance of becoming entangled again. 1t is
not easy to make out from the maze of Baron
Won Beust's controversies the exact status of
the dispute between himself and the Prus-
slams. We know that in the first place
Count Bismarck had fair cause to feel offend
ed at the publication, by Austria, not a
great while SINCE ofwhat the Prussian jour
nails stigmatized as garbled official dis
patches, exposing King Williams greed for
territory after the battle of Sadowa. These
dispatches were by Bismarck, and the meth
cd and circumstances of their publication
are deemed offensive. Then we find that
the Prussian organs have been attacking
Austria's subservience to France in the Bel
gium question, notwithstanding rumor
that Count Bismarck was willing to give up
Belgium to France, if France would allow
to Prussia perfect freedomo of action in South
Germany. Without expressing any opinion
of this story, we may say that the present
controversy between Austria and Prussia
turns on the charge by Baron Won Beust o.
persistent coldness manifested by the, lattel
to his advances Prussia denies this sofl
impeachment, and to-day we have the alb
stract of chapter of words from Baron Vol
Beust again, He declares that what h
said IN Parliamentary Committee was pri
vate, and not debatable automatically; bu
that he will not withhold his opinion OF
questions caused by inaccurate newspape
statements. Again the Baron confesses tina
his envoy Wimpfen was instructed to al
stain from visiting Bismarck, on account
continuous and violent attacks, on Austri
in the Berlin papers! Evidently in Berli
and Vienna newspapers are State papers.

MIR. EDITOR The agent at Whitaker's
Depot on the Wilmington and Weldon
Railroad, in Edgecombe county, near the
Halifax line, was killed this Tuesday morn
ing. The circumstances that lead to the ia
tai result as near as can learn, are these:
Sometime last week colored man by the
name of Stratford, who was recently elected
a Justice of the Peace, for Dalmatia Town
ship, in this county, was at Whitaker's
Depot, standing on the platform of the
warehouse, and was in the way of the agent,
Griffin, who, it is said, ordered Stratford to
get out of his way, when Stratford told him
(Grifin) that he was man of authority a
Justice ofthe Peace andshould stand where
he pleased, whereupon Griffin kicked or
pushed him off the platform. Stratford
then went to Justice of the Peace, got out
a warrant, and this morning four colored
men armed, went to arrest Griffin, when he
refused to surrender to- them, and one of
them shot him three times, with pistol,
killing him almost instantly. e

The New Cotton Crop Prospect for
,'isos eiA The South.

Thc new COtt0n CrOp-F1ne prospect IOr
,eisoa s3 The South.
A few bales, and the, first. of the new
cotton crop have come TO the New York
market, says the Herald. That from Geor
gis, classed as low middling, was sold at
auction for thirty-six cents o pound, and
that from Alabama classed as strict mid
ding, brought forty eight and half cents,
These it is true, may be termedrather fancy
prices, asithe first bale OF, two of the new
cotton crop always bring more than those
that come AFTER But it is an Indication of
what the price will be hereafter. We may
conclude, therefore, that the crop Of 1863
will realize an immense sum of money. This
cropis yariously estimated between two and
a half millions of bales to three millions
probably it may reach two millions seven
hundred or two millions eight hundred
thousand bales. If the, average price
throughout the season Of sales should not
exceed twenty-five cents pound though
from present appearances 1t Will be higher
than that-the crop will be worth over two
hundred millions Of dollars. From all the
light before US there is reason to believe it
will bring nearly that sum in gold. This
production, too, is in addition to the tobac-
co, sugar and other valuable crops of the
South for expectation. Besides, that sec
ton of the country, since the war has paid
more attention to the raising Of grain, corn,
and other articles of food, and is now, per-
haps, Independent, or nearly SO, of outside
supplies. In short, the South this year will
have surplus production to be sold for
cash over and above the production of ne
cessities; worth, at least, two hundred mil
lions, of dollars. Who will not say the
South is becoming rich again? We must
admire the wonderful recuperative power of
the people there and congratulate them on
the splendid prospect they have of material
prosperity. With more labor and capital to
develop their resources the Southern States
will become very soon the richest country on
the glOpe. -11 ig41+. E, t4. t-, ..-.. b. -
