Vermont watchman and State journal. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1836-1883, 1870-08-17

The impression which generally prevails
that the FIRST newspaper printed in Vermont
was printed at Windsor, is according to the
authority of Isaiah 1'homls, who in $50 pub
lshed two large volumes giving the history
of printing in America etc, an error We
believe a statement, prepared with great care,
to the above effect, has been published in one
of our State papers within year. But ac-
Goriing to the authority above referred to the
first paper was printed in Westminster, in
February, 1871, by Timothy Green and Judah
Paddock Spooner. Green 4 Spooner were
partners in the printing business in Norwich,
Conn, but their business not answering their
expectations. after trial Of a few years they
removed to Vermont This removal was
during the period that Vermont laid claim to
some of the towns east of the Connecticut
river, Hanover being one Of them and be-
fore locating ut Westminster, their press was
for a short time located at the former place
and newspaper published, The claim being
soon relinqushed, they then removed to West
minister, where they published their paper
entitled " The Vermont Gazette, or Green
Mountain Post. BOy" {" two or three years.
according to Mr.. Thomas The motto of the
paper was
! Firm the llnls, to stem oppsssion's Tide"
Green continued to reside in New London
and Spooner conducted the Gazette After
the lapse of the period above mentioned
Green relinQuished his interest In the paper
and the press and types, which were owned
by him. were soon after sold, George Hough
being the purchaser. He removed them Il
Windsor 10 1888, and there formed partner
ship with Alden Spooner, brother Of Judah
and commenced the publication Of newspa

newspaper in Vermont, is said to be- at the

The Needlc.Gm aud MitraIllcusc.

The war of 1866 developed in Europe a
new and terrible instrument Of death, known
as the needle-gun. This celebrated 6re-arm is
a breech-loading, single-barreled, non.rcvoly-
ing rifle. With the movement of an appar-
ent trigger, section of the barrel slides back
far enough to admit the cartridge to be placed
10 the cavity of the barrel, which is done by
the gunner with his left hand, without remoy-
the piece from his shoulder, or, necessarily,
losing his aim. Another movement restores
the section of the top of the barrel to its
place and firmly fastens it, ready at the iu-
slant for firing. 1t can be fired, therefore,
twelve times in minute, until the barrel il
too hot to admit of the introduction Of the
cartridge, ard this is not easily done, as the
cartridge ignitcs by friction only, and not by
mere heat, aud the time it remains in the
chamber before firing is but an instant. BE.
hind the cartridge as it lies when the gun i,
loaded, is the air-chamber, about two and q
half inches in length, through which the nee.
die darts forward horizontally to pierce the
charge. The cartridge is, of course, made
up with the ball in front then, without wad-
ding, the powder, and then the percussion sub.
stance, into which the needle strikes, by the
force of a common wire spring when the trig-
ger is pulled.
The French gun, called Mitrailleuse, or
" Canister Battery" is capable Of throwing
one hundred and forty balls per minute, aud
is the invention of Col. f. S, Claxton, sou
of our late Commodore Claxton, of the U
S. frigate Constitution. The " battery i,
composed of a number of small cannon-likC
musket barrels, arranged in a circular series
and furnished with device which both load,
aud discharges the balls by machinery, which
executes u continuous fire, and thus resem
bles fire by file. Col. Caxton has filed
cayeat at the patent office in Washington
II is said to be q deathdealing weapon.

-Leghorn and Genoa were illuminated in
honor of the Prussian victories. There is
much animosity to the French in Italy, and
sometimes it finds expression. The French
soldiers in the camp at Chalons rejoiced over
the defeat Of the Italians at Oustozra, aud
now Italians rejoice over French defeats.
The insolence the French have displayed on
some occasions must make their ailure doubly
bitter.
