On Saturday last A. j. Carpenter,
Esq, captured in the waters Of South
Pond, a turtle Of the species described by
Thompson in his "Gazetteer of Vermont
as the swapping tn tle." Some persons
say, though, that from his colossal pro.
portions he ought more justly be termed
a "young Vermont alligator" 1t meas
ures four feet from its nose to the tip OF
its tail the shell is twenty inches across
each way; its head is four inches wide /;
on the fore feet are FIVE claws, on the
hind feet are four-each measuring two
inches in length and it weighs forty-six
pounds. A bushel basket will not hold
the animal, and its strength is sufficient
to bear up the weight of a full-grown man
and carry him with ease. The creatures
mouth is an ugly-looking affair, and looks
as if it would make nothing of biting ones
fingers off; indeed, its entire countenance
savors of foreclosures. Mr., Carpenter
keeps "this great living curiosity las
the showmen say in a water.tank, where
it is visited by large numbers. We should
think bathers in the large natural ponds
in this town would indulge hereafter with
Z" fear and trembling" for it is possible
others Of the same sort may abound in
them.

"A little child, about 4 years old, son

week. He was taken i'll about 7 p. NJ,
on Tuesday, and expired about 8 next
morning. The symptoms at first indicat.
ed a difficulty in the bowels or summer
complaint, and afterwards poison. As the
child had been seen that afternoon eating
berries done up in leaves, it was supposed
hat he had eaten some poisonous insect.
A post norton examination was made by
DR.. Belden, and he found one of the
small intestines twisted or knotted, to
which he attributes the cause of death.

The Fcnian Invasion of Canada,

Hayingreceived a number ofletters from
various parties inquiring why he had moi
anything to say in reply to the numerous
charges made against him on account O
the late disastrous attempt at the invasion
of Canada, and his'own conduct in thai
affair, Gen. O'Neill writes from the Bur.
lington Jail TO the editor Of the Boston
Pilot as follows:
81 beg to inform those parties, and all
whom it may concern, that | delayed re.
plying, first, because Idesired that Others
should get through with what they had to
say in the matter and secondly, because
| had hoped that some one of my numer-
Gus friends-a man never knows how many
he has until he needs one-would, by 60
ing on my bonds for fifteen thousand dol
lars, give me an opportunity of defending
myself outside the walls of a prison.
"Now, however, believing that my en-
emies-I must presume that | have no
friends, at least amongst those from whom
| had a right to expect friendship-have
had all the opportunity they could desire
to say what they pleased, and as | am
likely to remain in Jail until my trial, |
shall soon publish a statement, showing
who was responsible for the attempt at
the invasion Of Canada" and the cause
of the failure, 50 far as the movement has
been heard from. The facts in the case
are not known to the public.
IL shall also give my views as to the fu-
turc oethe organization, which must change
its policy in order to accomplish any
thing.

Daring Burglary.

The meat market Of Carlos Ia. smith,
on Main Street, Montpelier, was entered
by a burglar on Saturday night last the
safe broken into, but fortunately the rob-
Der was frightened and left when just
ready to secure his prize.
About 2 O'Clock Sunday morning, Chas'
II. Cross, who lives near, heard a noise Ill
Mr.. Smiths market, got up and went to
his window and saw a light in the market
but supposed Mr.Smith was there at work
taking care of his meat, and went to bed
again. The noise increasing, after nearly
an hour Mr.. Gross again got out of bed
and partly dressing himself, went down to
the market door, still ~supposing Mr.. 5. to
be there at work. Finding the door OPP
ened, he thought to have some pleasantly
with Mr.. Smith, and remarked just within
the door, in a g%utteral tone, the Words
The night comoth in which no man car
work" and then stepped into the market,
when a man came quickly towards him
with a cleavcr in his hand, and made a
side stroke at his head, which Mr.. Gross
avoided by ducking so low that the cleav-
err passed over him. The burglar there
upon dropped his weapon and fled through
the door before Mr.. Cross could have
time to fairly comprehend the situation.
1t was quite dark in the room where the
burglar passed Mr.. Gross, and the rapid
ity Of the movements Of the burglar ren.
dered his Identification impossible. The
last seen Of him he was fleeing down Main
Street toward the south.
Upon calling up help, and sending fol
Mr.. Smith, it was found that the burglar
was at work on the safe in the counting
room, the instruments used consisting Of
a COMMON %"crowbar," and a "sledge ham
mer," a paper of powder also being left
on the desk. The safe had been turned
over on its back, and so nearly had the
rogue effected an entrance into it, thai
hen it was afterwards turned up on the
side, the door came open itself.
But for the interruption of Mr., Gross,
in a very few minutes more the rogue
would have been in possession of 1922 in
money, and made good his escape; as it
was, he only secured a dollar or two,
mostly in cents, left in the money drawer
under the desk. Thus far he has escaped
detection.
Two blacksmith shops were entered the
anne night, probably by the same person,
to secure tools with which to effect his
purpose. Suspicion rests upon two Or
three persons.

GoLp.-The tendency Of the price Of
gold is unquestionably downward. The
spasm caused by the efforts of spectators
for the purpose of unloading, is ended,
and gold again settles toward par with
greenbacks. They have sold and made a
handsome per centage, and the former
"bulls" are now ready to operate as
" bears"
But aside from these artificial causes,
there are natural ones operating to appre.
ciate government credit and depreciate
the price Of gold. True, the demand a.
broad for American securities has in a
measure ceased but the need of such a
demand has also ceased, and we are not
getting into debt to Europe as fast as we
were, if at all.
During the first nine months of the last
fiscal year, u imports were in excess OF
our exports nearly $500, 600. 600. Dur
ing the first nine months of the present
fiscal year, there is balance in our favor.
Our exports exceed our imports by about
2 1000, 600.
There is, therefore, in our commercial
transactions, NJ occasion for sending eli.
ther bonds or gold abroad to pay the trade
balance.

An Indian War.

Late dispatches from Washington say
title doubt is entertained at the United
Btates Army Headquarters that a general
Indian War is inevitable.
General Sherman has received several
letters and kilograms from Gen. Sheridan,
which show that the Indians of the north
western and southern reservations are on
the war path in earnest. Seven different
bands fully armed crossed the Pacific R.
r., just below Fort Saunders. on Monday
asst, for the ostensible purpose Of hunt
ng elk, but neither Sherman nor 'Sheri-
dan believe this to be their real object, as
they are already off the reservation, and
evidently mean mischief.
Gen. Sherman says the whole Indian
people seem in a restless condition, and
from the information he receives from
all quarters he has no doubt they are bent
on war.
Gen. Sheridan reports that he found
several bands 1000 miles away from their
reservations. In a number of their vii
lagos he found large quantities of stolen
property, accumulated in different raids,
which confirm accounts of atrocities pei
petrated in the south
He looks every day for an outbreak
from the Sioux, and has distributed his
forces and made every preparation for de-
fence, but has not force enough to take
offensive measures, even if a general war
should commence.
He has no hopes of anything good from
Red Cloud and his chiefs, and says Red
Cloud cannot control the Sioux nation =
that no Indian Chief can speak for the
young men who are always at war. Red
Cloud and his band should reach Fort
Laramie to-day, where some 200 lodges
of his people are now waiting to receive
him.
1t is probable their actions will be very
closely watched

-Harper's Weehly illustrates the first
reading Of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence in New York, and cites the follow
ing bit of history from LossiDg's "Field-
Book of the Rerolution:"
Washington received the Declaration
on the 9th of July, l776, with instructions
to have it read to the army. lie imme-
diately issued an order for the several
brigades, then in and near the city, to be
drawn up at six o'clock that evening, to
hear it read by their several commanders
or their aids.
The brigades were formed in hollow
squares on their respective parades. The
venerable Zachariah Greene Commonly
called Parson Greene the father-in-law
Of Mr.. Thompson, historian Of Long Is
land), yet $500 living at Hampstead, at
the age of ninety-six years, informed me
that he belonged to the brigade then en-
camped on the Common where the City
Hall now stands. The hollow square was
formed at about the spot where the Park
fountain now is.
He says Washington was within the
square, on horseback, and that the Dec.
l~aration was read in a clear voice by one
ofhis aids. When it was concluded three
hearty cheers were given. Hollis Journal
for July II, l776, says:
Ia pursuance Of the Declaration of
Independence, a general Jail delivery took
place with respect to debtors
Ten days afterward, the people assem-
bled at the City Hall, at the head of
Broad Styeet, to hear the Declaration
read. They then took the British arm
from over the seat Of justice in the court
room, also the arms wrought in stone in
front of the building, and the picture of
the king in the council-chambcr, aud de-
stroyed them. by fire, in the street. They
also ordered the British arms in all the
churches in the city to be destroyed. This
order seems not to have been o~beyed.-

and carried to New Brunswick by the
