none better than Downer knows how to
bring such varieties into service to please

are in good demand both in home and

now fully repaired the wreck caused by
the ever memorable October flood, by
building new dam across the river OF

DIsGRACEFUL SCENE IN A COURT
RooM.-The Newport w. Express says
the climax of indecency was reached in a
court of justice in that village last Mon
day. After the endearing names of liar,
etc, had freely passed between the OPP
posing counsel, one of them, in the midst
of his argument seized the compiled
statutes, and with much more force than
discretion, piled the law in its purity
upon the bald pate of his opposing
brother. A scene of confusion ensued,
coats came off, knives were drawn, and
blood or something else might have freely
flown had not the bystanders interfered.
Order was finally restored, and the justice
imposed fine of So on the offender.

Our first acquaintance with him wal
several years since when he was a second
rate preacher of universal salvation in {
neighboring town, possessed of about the
same animus and amount of brains as now
but with less arrogance. He failed il
that calling and left for the West to the
regret of no one. The next we hear OF
him he is a "quack doctor" in Chicago
where rumor says he has accumulated
some money in a rather disreputable prac'

of his university lectures in that place on
Sunday evening. The hall was filled to
its utmost capacity, every foot of standing
room being occupied, and over a hundred
persons left who could not obtain admis-
sion. The audience expressed themselves
in unmistakable terms in favor of the uni
versity, and of instructing their repre-
sentatives in the State and National Leg
isIatures to labor for the promotion of its
best interests.

Simeon Short of Thetford was admitted

THE HEIGHT OF 1MPUDENCE. - The
Rutland independent of last week, which
does not pay one dollar for telegraph dis
patches while the HERALD pays large
monthly bills, says: The Rutland I'1de-
pendent, weekly paper, published the
news of the surrender of Napoleon two
hours before it was issued from the
HERALD office"
The facts were these A rumor had
been sent Us of that event preparatory to
sending the particulars as is usual in those
cases, at an early hour on Saturday morn
ing, which news was freely shown around.
The independent for the week was being
printed, and the rumor, as given by our
dispatches fell into their hands, and was
printed in a small portion of its edition
before our extra was issued, giving the
details as full as received of the affair.
The editor of that paper has now the au-
dacity to boast of giving the news to its
readers before the HERALD did.
1t is not the first case of stealing we
have had done but it is the first where the
parties have had the audacity to boast of
it after having done so.

well as impart pleasure by his visit

In view of the expected visit of the
President, The Society have made every

UPPER FALLs.-This is the name of
the little post office at % Downer's " in
Weathersfield, two miles above Perkins
vile. Years ago, and for long time
through the changes of various national
administrations, an ancient patriot named
Warnar held the office of postmaster, and
like some modern politicians was "always
on the winning side" We do not think
the old gentleman ever claimed to belong
to any church of a healthy organization,
in the usual acceptation of the term, but
nevertheless everywhere rejoiced in the
cognomen of "the old Samaritan" name
he applied to himself. He worshiped
General Jackson as the God of Democracy
pure and undefled. And like his Demo-
cratic prototype, who is said to have
sworn "by the Eternal" IS the old sam
aritan" seldom failed to dignity his re-
marks by strong explosives of Teutonic
origin. In the political changes which
followed the defeat of Van Buren, in 1910,
and subsequently, it was a common say

office and tavern, that it would be curl
