The Missing Steamer-A Brooklyn
Lady's Vision.

A clairvoyant writes from Brooklyn to
the New York Herald as follows:
On Friday night, the 25th of Febru-
ary, | had lady friend from the country
sleeping with me, and had been talking
great deal on different subjects, espe-
cially on the marriage question and other
philosophical subjects quite foreign to
any vision; but conditions were, as we
say, right, and much harmony existed
between us. All at once the whole side
of the house seemed to roll away, and
saw a bright light and heard a voice near
me say in spent whisper, Look at the
fire. looked, when ! saw the light and
flame; saw u steamer burning, people
struggling in the flames and in the water
|, much terrified, saw that it was Wis
ion; ! tried to speak to my companion,
and the voice said, Nay, look furtherr
Again looked, and it seemed nearer.
| saw the stack-pipe fall, masts and all
but the hull disappear aud on the charred
mass read City of'-the rest was burnt
off, and while | looked the black mass
sunk in the boiling sea.
Here is the description of the loca-
ton: saw narrow pass; on the right

rectly across from it is low point of

sci burnt-not in the pass. | have no
recollection more but of feeling dread

Seymour for one; but, for God sake, let

sheridan and the Piesan Butchery.

Gen. Woodford, in repeating his lecture
on Sheridan last night, alluded to the
Piegan massacre, and asked for sus-
pension of opinion in regard to his hero.
Gen. Woodford is super-serviceable in
his championship. Sheridan himself has
not asked for any suspension of opinion;
on the contrary, he has brazenly defied
public opinion in his order endorsing
the butchery, and congratulating the
officers who perpetrated it, on the
thorough manner in which they had
done their bloody work. He endorses
and approves the work, not as an act
justified by special circumstances, but
as an incident of policy of extermina-
tion. Sheridan puts it as simply ques-
tiOn whether white men or red men
should be killed, and giving the prefer
ence to his own race, he would exter-
inmate all Indians in the shortest way.
The fact about Sheridan is that he
is simply soldier, a brave and success
full fighter, not troubled with the ordinary
Of humanity, hard-headed,
and utterly heartless The
" crushing out policy is the only one he
knows In anything but leading a charge
OF directing military movements in the
field his judgment is not to be trusted.
He has the qualities Of neither head nor
heart for anything else. He is a mere
lighting animal, with instincts but little
above those Of the savages he is butcher
ng Instead Of suspension Of opinion,
% Sheridans case, his suspension from
command would be more in accordance |

10 the absurd story that Governor Geary

THE DIsENTHRALLED.
BY JOHN C. WHITTIER.


He had bowed down to drunkenness;
An abject worshipp9r;
The pulse of manhood's pride had gone,
Too faint and cold to stir;
And he had given his spirit up
Unto the humblest thrall;
And, bowling to the poisoned cup.
He gloried in his fall.
There came change: the cloud rolled of,
And light fell on his brain:
And, like the passing of dream
That cometh not again,
The shadow of his spirit fled;
He saw the gulf before:
He shuddered at the waste behind,
And was q man once more.
He shook the serpent's folds away,
That gathered round his heart,
As shakes the sturdy forest oak
Its poison vine apart;
He stood erect: returning pride
Grew terribly within,
And conscience sat in judgment on
His most familiar sin.
The light of intellect again
Along his pathway shone,
And reason, like a monarch, stood
Upon its golden throne;
The honored and the wise once more
Within his presence came,
And fingered oft on lovely lips
His once forbidden name.
There may be glory in the might
That treadeth nations down:
Wreaths for the crimson warrior,
Pride for the kingly crown;
But glorious is that triumph hour
The disenthralled shall find,
When evil passion boweth down
Unto the God-like mind.

A Case Parallel 10 the Mrs. Gatne
Suit on the Carpet at Pittsburgh.


From all accounts trouble is brewing
for the owners of real estate lying be-
tween Fifth avenue and the Mononga-
hela river, and principally between
Smithfield and Grant streets. The
amount of real estate involved is alleged
to be 100 acres. The story related to us
seems to be incredible, but as it came from
reliable quarter, and as proceedings
will shortly be instituted which will fully
explain the nature of the suit, we have
concluded to relate the facts furnished
us, merely suppressing the names:
Sometime during 1869, a young man
whom we shall call A, while engaged in
the task of examining some private pa
pers, the property of Mr.. B, (who by the
way is a well-known resident of the Sec
ond ward, well up in years., found a
document which warranted the belief
that he OBJ was heir TO a certain parcel
of proupd lying in Pittsburgh, the valua-
ton of which il would be difficult to es-
innate. further tban to state that it
reaches tens of miiiiSEs, A. immediate

A Revolution i'm the Circus Busi-
ness.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York SUM-.
Of late years the hotel and stable bills
of the showmen have run up to such
enormous figures as to devour nearly all
their receipts In order to overcome
this enfeebling drain, Mr. j. NJ. French,
of New Orleans, who had to take circus
in self-defense, and run it in order to get
back money which he had loaned to the
proprietors last season, hit upon the ex-
pedient of camping his men and horses
on the ground on which they performed
This worked so well that Mr. French has
gone into the business systematically,
and will this season run his show indie
pendently of landlords and stable-keepers
altogether
Mr.. French has had a kitchen built,
eight feet wide, ten feet high and eighteen
feet long, with all the modern improve
ments, which is mounted on wheels, and
in which cooking can be done for one
hundred men with economy and celerity.
This kitchen will be big show in itself,
and the performances of the cook and
his assistants will be apt to divide the
interest of the country housewives with
tie performances under the canvas
Mr.. French has also devised a portable
canvas stable for his horses, thirty-fve
feet wide, eighty-five feet long, and fifteen
feet high. Portable stalls, troughs, and
other stable gear have also been provided
in abundance, and proyender has been
engaged at convenient points, so that the
horses of the concern may have all pos
sible equine comforts.
Other showmen, getting wind of this
new movement, have also gone into it;
and it now looks as though the country
landlords would be left unto themselves
desolate by those on whom they have
heretofore looked as lawful prey.

MISUNDERSTANDING a trip up into
Windsor County last week, we got as far
as Woodstock, wnere our stay was much
too brief, but long enough to see tba.
Woodstock has grown considerably in
the last few years and presents many ev-
licences of thrift and enterprise.
The residence and beautiful grounds
of Frederick Billings are special at
traction, and Prosper Merrill is erecting
fine residence at the lower end of the
street leading toward Quechee. The new
brick block Quilt some years ago, but
since we have been there, opposite the
old hotel site,) is among the finest in the
State.

Obituary,

DIED.-In Westminster. Sept. Is. HENRY TY-
LER MORSE, aged 20 years.
1t is seldom that the community is so deeply NOV
ed as in the lamented death of this young man. He
was son of much promise, and one in whom were
centered many fond hopes. Having completed his
preparatory course at Meriden, n. H.. be entered
Amherst college in the elsss Of $50 where he distin
guished himself by jealous application to study,
cevng at the close of his freshman year the strong
praise for having made the most improvement in
Greek during the year. Failing health compele ed
him to leave at the close of the second year. with the
hope that after ofrest he might be able to
return. He was appointed TO the superntendeney OF
the public schools of Westminster for 1859 and in
July went West for change of climate, which did
not prove to be of permanent benefit. Consumption
had selected him for shining mark. and on the 18th
of July last he returned home to die. While in col
iere he had become hopefully christian. and ever
after the religion ofyes appeared to be the con
trolling principle of his life To his naturally cheer
full and genial temper and generous spirit, the gra-
ces of the christian life lent additional charm
His suferings. which at times severe. were
borne with great patience. and REGARDED by him as
needful to prepare him for the higher life. In his
early and lamented death, his afflicted friends share
largely in the sympathy of the community. and are
consoled in the assurance that their loss Is to him
unspeakable gain. tJ.f.

The Windsor County Fair.

The annual Fair Of the Windsor
County Agricultural Society, was held
at Woodstock last week. A good degree
OF interest prevailed throughout, but the
number of entries were not equal to for
mer years. On Wednesday the o.ten.
dance was some four thousand. As usu-
al there were very few exhibitors from
the south end of the county, and the
awards are mostly to partiesip Woodstock
and vicinity. OF cattle the show is
claimed to have exceeded all previous
exhibitions. Sheep made fair display,
particularly Cotswolds.
Senator Edmunds delivered a very ex-
ceilent address, on Wednesday afternoon.
Daniel Davis q Sons of Windsor bore
OFT full share of premiums ON cattle
Alonzo Madden of Plymouth took first
premium on cheese, 500 lbs. also for best
three cheeses.
In the vegetable line remarkable in
stance were a lot of sweet potatoes raised
by Honestus Stearns of Reading. The
season in Vermont for raising sweet po-
tatoes this year has been unusually ia.
vorable, save the drouth. The Hon. VIM.
M. Evarts of New York, had from his
farm in Windsor, watermelon weighing
All lbs. 1t is veryjustly claimed that
Mr.. Evarts beats Horatio Seymour ON
melons.
In floral hall the fancy and manufact-
ured articles were numerous, and the pre-
miums equally SO. The articles exhibit
ed embraced great variety of fancy
and useful articles and spoke favorably
for the ladies, among these was an award
of 81 to Mrs. G. A. Davis of Felchville
for beautiful wax work.
At the close of Senator Edmunds' ad-
dress Mr.. Frederick Billings introduced
Mr. Evarts, who made brief response
Mr.. Billings being called for excused
himself on the ground that he had al
ready furnished a substitute. The fair
closed on Thursday having good weather
and pleasant occasion barring the great
amount of dust.

expectations, as well as those who visited
US from abroad. Has every one though,
1t over and is he making an effort to at

patience, in order TO bring forward some
thing to our annual feast, from the little
Bantum to the Cochin China, the white

dray horse to the three minuter, the crab
apple TO the giant squash, the lamp mat
to the wide spread bed-quilt, something
that might perhaps please some casual
observer. Come then gray-headed faith
and matron, young man and maiden,
little boy and girl, each and all bring
your oHerlnS, and above all come with
cheerful heart, that We may have good
time together and in all so acquit oul-
selves that it may be said of US that we
are worthy of citizenship in old West

daily invite citizens from abroad to come
down on to the plain and enjoy good
time with us.

! DEATH OF PROMINENT MEN.-Three
prominent men of this State have died
very recently. The Hon. James K. Hyde
Judge of the County Court of Rutland,
died at his residence in Sudbury, of ty-
phoid pneumonia, on Wednesday after
noon, Sept. u, aged sixty-eight years. He
was member of the late Constitutional
Convention, aud held various positions O.
honor and trust in his county. He was
brother of Hon. Pitt W. Hyde of Cas-
eton.
On Friday last the people of St. Al
bans and of the State were startled by
the announcement of the Sudden death of
Geo. f. Houghton which had occurred
on Thursday evening, sometime between
the hours of FIVE and seven. The St.
Adams Messenger says he was last seen
alive by his wife. who, on returning from
making calls in the afternoon, found him
as if lying asleep, but cold in death on
the bed. There appears TO be no doubt
that he died of disease of the heart He
was native of Guilford in this county,
where he was born May 81, 1920. He
was successor to the late Rev. Pliny Fl.
White as President of the Vermont His
torital Society. His talents and litera-
ry character have long b en- known
throughout the State.
Hoo. Henry Reyes died at his res
idence in Newbury on Saturday evening
last at o'clock. He was first taken sick
on the first day of the State Fair at Bur-
lington, and Immediately went home,
where bilious and typhoid fever set in,
though his case was not considered hope
less till the night before his death. Mr.
Keyes was President of the State Agri-
cultural Society, and also of the Pasump-
sic railroad, and had just been made
President Of another railway company
in Kansas, at which place ne expected to
have speut the coming winter. He was
