FRox MIssoUM.-S. Ruggles, Esq, for
merly of Waterbury, now coroner of Phelps
county, Mo, favors us with copy of the
Rolla Express, the radical organ of the city
of Rolla, where Mr.. Ruggles now resides.
The Express is live Republican journal !,
filed with local news, and has an interesting
letter from Havana, Cuba, written by J. E.
Yarmouth, Esq, a near neighbor of Mr..
Ruggles, and father of Gov. Yarmouth of
Louisiana. To a business letter written us
under date of April 1lth, Mr.. Ruggles ap-
ponds the following note, which will interest
the former neighbors and friends of the
writer
The iron mining business is being devel-
oped " right smart " here now, the ma
tives say. Our Spring is rather late this
year-more cold and stormy weather of late
than usual. Peach trees are just coming
into bloom, and the prospect for fruit of all
kinds is very good, il we have no more very
cold weather. Spring and small grains have
all been sown for some time. Potatoes plant
ed, and some gardening done. The immi-
grafton into this State still continues to be
immense. Our Legislature has just adjourned
and poll teal matters are all very quiet.

ALL WRoNG.-During the past few weeks
there have been two slight outbreaks or sea-
sons of unpleasant ness between some of the
Seminary Hill students and few boys from
our streets, and we regret that the boys from
the village should have shown any disposi-
ton to interfere with or ca use disturbance
among the pupils who come to our town for
the purpose of acquiring an education.
Without discussing or caring to inquire even
which party were the first meters to the
unfriendly feeling, it is well to remember
that Seminary Hill is essentially set aside
and appropriated to the use of the Seminary
and those connected with it. The village
boys and those not having legitimate bust
ness on Seminary Hill have no rights there
on, save such as may be allowed them by
common courtesy. If they are not content
to 90 there and behave themselves in accord
ance with such rules and orders of decorum
rs prevail there, they should stay entirely
away. Public sentiment is strongly opposed
70 all rioting or appeals TO brute force to
carry poiut, and we trust our young men
in the village will, when they attend the
lyceums or other gatherings on Seminary
Hill, put themselves on their best behavior,
and show that they have not left behind
them their better manners nor their sense of
the courtesy and respect due to those whose
hospitality and intellectual entertainments
they seek to enjoy
L. W. Jones Esq, OF Waitsfeld, has sold
his real estate and village property in that
town, to II. C. Campbell, Esq, and it is re-
ported that the former is to remove to Mont
pelier, and become partner in the the bust
ness Of c. W. Storrs, Esq. Mr. Jones is
areliable, energetic man. and he will be a
desirable acquisition to Mr. Storrs' business
house and to the society of the Capital

North Tunbridge, April 10, 1870.
A correspondent writing us from Bethel,

A correspondent writing us from Bethel,
under date of April 18th, says:
On Wednesday, the 18th inst, little
Toy, five years old, son of Mr.. Levi Newton,
was drowned. He fell into the branch just
below the upper railroad bridge, and young
man about seventeen years old, son Of Ny
ron Burnett, Esq, hearing the alarm, sprang
into the swollen stream, and striking out
boldly succeeded in reaching the little fellow
ald bringing him almost ashore but the
current was so strong he could not gain a
footing, and they were both swept down
over the two dams below. Young Burnett
lost hold and sight of the boy as they went
over the first dam. He finally gained the
shore about forty rods below, escaping with
some severe bruises, to receive the congratu-
lations of friends and aitisens &C. h. he>eis
enVI 60 save the little boy. The body has
not been found.
The same correspondent also says:
Mr. Wilson from Washington County,
who has lately bought and taken possession
of the Depot House, is preparing to put on
another story, and otherwise improve his
house preparatory to the summer business.

We are indebted to a Congressional friend
for package of flower and garden seeds, in
Guiding two papers of veritable Connecticut
tobacco seed. While we are grateful for the
others, we certainly have no thanks for the
tobacco seed. We neither smoke nor chew
the weed, but most decidedly escheaO it in all
its forms. We couldn't think of cultivating
the unclean thing. Now what shall we do
with the tobacco seed ? We are inclined to
give them away-to be as conscientious as
was the good piOus woman who in relating
her " experience " said she found the rib
bons on her bonnet were leading her down to
the ID, and so she took them off and
0are them TO her sister. Who among our
friends desires to go to destruction growing
the Indian weed Let him call at once.

CORRECTION. Some two weeks since, We
published an account, from a correspondent,
of festival and concert in Tunbridge, which
has called forth the following rejoinder,
which reached us too late for an insertion
last week
Mr.. EDIToR;-The article IN your last weeks
paper, from who signs himself An Old Sub
ciety in Tunbridge, and concert, is untrue and a
cOwardly fling at the parties, by who IS not
manly enough TO sign his own name. The Festival
and Concert were in no way connected, were more
than month apart in time, and IN separate build
ugsi the Festival being in the Town Hall, Feb 23d,
the Concert by music teacher and her pupils,
March 3Jth, in the Congregational Church.

1t should, perhaps, be stated that the ar
tcle alluded to was received by mail and
passed to the composition without any exam
ination on our part, we supposing it to be
simply an item of news, which all concerned
wished inserted in the FREEMAN. When the
proof was read and the paper went to press,
we were necessarily engaged in other mat
tiers, and that paragraph failed to come IN
der our notice. We do not intend the FREE
MAN shall be made the vehicle of improper
or unjust reflections upon any society or
person.
