THE AN[MONoOsrC RIYER.

The freshet over in New Hampshire
seems to have been fully as disastrous as in
Vermont. The Ammonoosuc has the name
of being wild, and twas true to its name
Monday. From a gentleman who came
from Carol, n. H., Monday afternoon, we
gain the following particulars: About the
middle of the afternoon the dam of John
T. Leavitt, in Carol, was washed out, with
considerable timber This accumulation
of water, timber and food wood swept down
the stream mile and half to Rounsevel
& Colburns mill, carrying away their boom
with about forty feet of the dam, and near
ly 100000 feet of unsawed lumber. Passing
along down two and a half miles to the
mill of Burbank & Church, ittook off their
mill entire, with machinery and all there
was in it; also a bridge just below the mill.
The next dams were in Bethlehem; John
Pierce's dam and canal were considerably
damaged, and Ira Richardson's dam car
ried off entire.

ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted

in the former case they would have had all
fall driving their works to their utmost ca
pacity. Orders for scales were very pres
sing, never so much so before, and they
would have been unable, with all their
force, to ship all the scales ordered before
navigation closes. The present season they
have worked over 500 men, were melting
fifteen tons of iron daily, and have compile
ted and sent off 800 scales week. With
all the energy they can put into the re-
building and repairing, they will hardly
be able to fully recover themselves before
winter closes in. But although the loss is
heavy, and the damages severe in loss of
material, machinery and time, there will
be no serious interruption in the scale ma
king business. With such energy and en-
thusiasm was the repairing of damages
commenced, that at one o'clock Tuesday
the blacksmiths RECOMMENDED work, and
at half past five the same day all the ma
chinery the west side of the river was run
ming again, new bridge spanned the riv-
err and in three days connections were
made with the shops the east side of the
river, and the machinery started up in the
shops this side.
BURKE.
In West Burke the water cut a deep
channel across the street. In East Burke
the new bridge in the village is gone, and
hole twenty feet deep cut out in the up
per end of the street near the buildings,
houses we're cleared out in the first story,
the boom was carried away and the people
alarmed generally. A bridge near Whites
school house above East Burke, is gone,
and the one below Bugby's hotel near the
Walter mill.
NEWARK.
The foom in Benz. Allard's mill was
carried away and with it nearly 10000 feet
of shingles. The long floom and dam at
Silby's mill are destroyed.
WATERFORD.
In Waterford great deal of damage
was done to the roads and bridges. On the
road leading from Lower Waterford ia
| Passumpsic there is one place washed out
to the depth of twenty-five feet, which can
not be repaired much short Of one thous-
and dollars.
BARNET AND PEACHAM.
| In Barnet and Peacham the highways
are badly damaged and bridges gone. Care
full estimates place the damage to the high
ways in Barnet alone at $1,000. The corr
crop on the river was very little of it Sc
cured and is either washed away or badly
| damaged. On Monday night the peopl,
of Barnet were fearful lest Harvey's PonC
which supplies water for the factory would
break away and sweep the village, an(
many of them sat up all night. 1t die

Seven bridges are reported to have bee

Hamilton Fish, of New York, is appointed
secretary of state in place of E. B. Wash
burne, resigned MIR. Fish has long been
identified with New York politics, and has
always been an opponent of the Democratic
party. For many years he was a leading
member of the Wing party, by which he was
elected to Congress and afterwards to the
governorship of New York He joined the
Republican party in the early stages of that
organization, and has ever since acted with it,
although his opinions as Wing and Republi-
can have always been supposed to be tenn
pered by kind of so-called conservatism.
Mr.. Fish is not man of distinguished abili.
ties; he is simply respectable, and does not
compare with any of the distinguished men
who have preceded him in the state depart
ment He is a man of large wealth, and of
cultivated address.

The most remarkable thing in the history
of the Secretary of State, is the bon mot which
somebody made concerning his daughters,
who were distinguished in New York and
Washington society as very beautiful and ac-
complished young ladies. When they were
children their portraits were painted and
placed in Mr.. Fish's drawing room. One day
two gentlemen were examining them, when
one of them said to the other, "what do you
think of those pictures? I" I think they look
like sardines." " Sardinesl how can that be ?"
Why don't you sse that they are little

Grants Biunder,

Washington special of the Sth to the Louis.
vile Courier Journal says:
The declaration Of the Eastern Republican
press that Grant opened his administration with a
blulder, was more than confirmed to-day. The
feeling in Congress against the repeal of the act
which prevents Stewart from accepting the sec
retaryship Of the treasury became known last
night TO the president and Stewart, and an ar.
isngement WAS at once entered into to relieve
both from the dilemma. Grant proposed to taks
ADVICE and the Massachusetts delegation were on
hand TO give it. They said to the president:
place Boutwell, in the cabinet. Judge Hoar will
retire. Give New York the attorney generaIship
and all will be straight again. The situation
was telegraphsd TO Hoar, and he replied that
he was willing to do anything for the success of
Grants administration, even to resignng if il
were necessary, but he preferred TO be here to
transact the business in person. He left Boston
this morning, and will be here to morrow morn.
ing. In the meantime Stewart has been cIoseted
with the president, and at IL A. NJ. to-day re.
luctantly but verbally rendered hts resignation
as secretary of the treasury, saying that he
would DO nothing to prevent harmony. He ven.
tured TO suggest, however, that a very good
New Yorker, David A. Wells, could be an
pointed. and thus avoid the further Complication
of asking Hoer TO retire. The president repljed
that be preferred Boutwell, for secretary of the
treasury, and could transfer the attorney gene
Tslship to New York. to Pierrepont or Tremaine.
Speaker Blaine, hearing the rumor that Boutwell,
was going into the cabinet rushed up to the White
House to learn the fact. If Boutwell, was Ia be
suddenly taken from the House, it was plain that
the list Of committees to be announced tomorrow
would be all upset, for Boutwell, had been placed
at the head of the Judiciary committee. The
president could not positively decide, and so the
speaker holds open his list. At noon the Senate
met. The attendance was as large as on Sstur-
day. the lobbies and corridors being foil and the
cabinet situation being under discussion among
the crowd. The Senate sat in patience for az
hour and half, but no message from the presi.
dent came. Finally, leading Republicans were
told quietly TO effect an sdjournment-thst Grant
wanted more time while the additional reason
was urged that he might nominate Wells or
another low tariff man for the treasury. To gain
lime and avoid further complications for both
'ides, an adjournment was moved and promptly
carried.

The New York Herald thinks that " Our new
President will give great impulse to the cause
of religion from the living principles thereof
which are fixed in his character, and from his
outward manifestations as a believer ''Out-
ward manifestations" is good, and we pre-
sumo it to refer to the humility with which
the general shook the dust of the church from
his presidential feet, and the meekness with
which he walked out, when he found that
special seat had not been reserved for his
pious highness

Health, brightest vistsnt from Heaven,
Grant me with thee 10 rest
For the short term by nature given,
Be thou my constant guest;
For all the pride that wealth bestows,
The pleasure that from children flows,
Whate'er We court in regal state,
That makes us covet TO be great.
Whatever sweet we hope to find
In loves delicious snares.
Whatever good by Heaven assigned,
Whatever pause from cares,
All flourish at thy smile divine
The spring of loveliness is thine;
And every joy that cheers our hearts,
With thee approaches and departs.

The general expectation that Col Casey
would be appointed collector of the port, has,
1T seems, been justified by the event This
gentleman is, we have before remarked, not
nnconnected with the President, and is not
much addicted to politics. He has, for some
time, resided in New Orleans, and has gained
the good opinion of those to whom he has
become known. Mr.. Stockdale, the new col
lector of internal revenue, has resided for
some years in New Orleans as a deputy COL
lector of the port, in which position he dis
played good business qualifications. Mr..
Stockdale is an advanced Radical in politics.

the port, we ptefer to say nothing, simply be-
cause his history as gallant Confederate
officer is SO well known that repetition would

train, under the charge of Mr.. Butler, camped
near the springs, driving all the Mexcans except
three across the creek and up to Flannegans house,
filing the path with arrows. The Indians were
well armed and had already fred over two hun
