Silver Wedding.

FREEPoRT, April %, 1871.
Mr.. Editor,-The celebration by our esteemed
townsman, Nathan O. True, and wife. of the
twenty fifth anniversary of their wedding, on
the 18th INST, seems to call for something more
than passing notice.
It. was fifth of series of these occasions in
his family, and the event called together a
large number of relatives and friends, (there
being upwards of one hundred persons pres
ent,) whe to use common phrase, s'made a
night of it," in feasting, dancing and festive
enjoyment. All seemed TO enter into the spirit
of the occasion with a zest that caused the
hours to glide away almost imperceptibly, and
to-day had passed into yesterday ere any had
taken note of its departure. The house was
filled to overlooking with the good things of
life" which were freely partaken of by the as
sembled company, and ample justice was done
to this part of the entertainment.
The hosts were the recipients of many ele-
CANT and valuable tokens of affectionate re-
membrance appropriate to the occasion, all of
which were duly displayed and admired
Mr.. True is the fourth of eight brothers who
with one sister constitute the family of the
venerable Moses True of New Gloucester, now
upwards OF eighty years of age, though hale
and hearty, being present and seemingly en-
ioying this reunion of his family. The aged
mother went to her eternal rest some years
ago, making the only break thus far in the
family circle. All the rest with their several
families, in some instances to the third gener-
alton, were present and took part, enjoying
the festivities. Mrs. T. is a daughter of our
former townsman, George Anderson, and is
one of a family of nine children, all but one of
whom (he being detained by urgent business J
were also pre- sent with their families.
This social gathering of two so large families,
on the spot where all the latter were born,
after so many years and under such. happy
auspices, seems remarkable, and it is not often
we are called upon to witness so large, harmo-
NOUS and unbroken a family circle under one
roof
May they have, many happy returns.
Yours truly, s.

DOVER, N. H., April 26, 1871.

To the Editor Of the Press:
There is considerable talk and excitement in
this city in regard to the recent forgery of the
name of E. G. Hight of your city, by Henry
+. Nutter. The latter succeeded in getting
discounts at the Cocheco Bank, for considera-
BILE amounts. In several cases the names OF
sureties were also forged. AT the several Saw
Jugs Banks in New Hampshire, the names OF
two parties were demanded IN ordcr TO get the
notes discounted. In some instances IL Is sup
posed that the sureties were led to believe that
the name of Hight was genuine, and thus they
will be held responsible, but in many instan-
cos the names of both suretes it has been as
certaned are forgeries. The Savings Bank
at Wo:fboro loses 5000 1t is reported that
the cashier of the National Bank at Pittsfeld,
N. H., asceltained that the notes held by the
bank were forged, and the cashier Immediately
proceeded to hunt up Nutter, and found him in
a carriage in the vicinity of Boston, in company
with man by the name of Sanborn. Nutter
drew his pistol, and the cashier did the same,
and after a threatening interview of over an
hour, Nutter was persuaded to pay over So 500,
and was allowed to pass on unmolested, and it
is reported that he proceeded to New York.
1t appears that Nutter heretofore, on several
occasions has been caught in forgery, and the
matter has been settled and hushed up. There
are several of these notes at Rochester, and the
parties who held them believe that they are Sc
cured by the indorsers. On the 18th of April,
letter was sent from Cocheco Bank, notifying
Mr.. Hight that they held note which should
have been paid on the 5th-8th. An answer
came back Oh the next day, expressing surprise
that Nutter had not paid the note, as he had
promised to do, and informing tbs cashier
that he would receive 81 900 by express. The
money was sent accordingly. There is mys-
terry hanging over this occurrence, as the letter
was never received by Mr.. Hight or his conf
Dental clerk, but it is supposed that Nutter
had an accomplish in your city, who had access
to lights post Office box. The banks in New
Hampshire are determined.ta hunt this matter
up. and will leave no stone unturned to dis
cover the guilty parties. ***

In New Jersey court an action of damages
was brought against railroad company for
damages for the loss of human life in cross
ing the track. 1t was proved that there was
no sgn-board of warning as required by law,
and also that neither the engine bell or whis-
tie gave the usual signals. A verdict of $4,000
for the plaintiffs was given. Another suit
was by plumber against gentleman for re-
pairs made in his house. The defendant gave
the plumber specific directions, and then left
to attend to his ordinary business. The work
was not done according to orders, the plumber
having exceeded his instructions A verdict
was given for the plaintiff. The decision is
one of considerable interest, in view of the

The CANADIAN BACK UP-The Toronto
Globe discusses the reported adjustment of the
fishery question by the JOINT High Commits
sion in an exceedingly heated manner, as fol-
lows:
The suggestion of giving up to Canadians
the right OF fishing in waters which the Amer
leans themselves have to a great extent aban-
doDed, as an offset to the surrender of all our
valuable iD-shore fisheries, is certainly, taken
by itself, one-sided enough. But the provision
Tor arbltrating in reference 10 the difference of
value in what has been surrendered by each
party, brings IL very much to the settlement
proposed by the America MS from the beginning
OF the negotiatiop, namely, purchase by them
ron our government of free access to all the
Canadian fishing grounds. But of this our
irleud> across the lines may rest perfectly GER
tain, that 10 such settlement will ever be
agreed to by the Canadian .opIe When thew

THE LEGAL TENDER ACT.-Tbe unexpec-
ted action of the Supreme Court in reversing
its former decision and declaring the legal
tender act constitutional and applicable to
contracts made before February, 1862, when
it was passed, must cause considerable con-
fusion and perhaps some litigation. The fol-
lowing extract from Washington dispatch
gives some explanations in regard to the ac-
ton of the court:
The decision of the Supreme Court on the
cases involving the cOnStitutionality of the
Legal-Tender act 1862, concerning which
there has been so much interest, twill be made
Known in open court on Monday next, in
presence ola full bench. The opinions, how
ever-for there will be two-wl not be de-
livered until the meeting of the Court at the
next term in December, in order that the
Judges may have time to perfect them in a
case of such magnitude, and involving such
important consequences. 1t is thought this
decision will be final, as the Court will proba-
bly, hereafter refuse to consider the points in
volved, inasmuch as full bench will now
participate in the judgment The Court will
decide not only as to liability of contracts
made before the passage of the act, but Of
those made since. 1t is positively ascertained
that the decisi on Of the Court in a previous
case, by deciding that the Legal Tender act is
| constitutional, and that contracts made be-
fore the war may be fulfilled by the payment
| Of Rgreenbacks. In this decision1 the Court
will stand as follows: Affirming the consti-
nationality of the act, Justices Miller, Davis
Swayne, Bradley and Strong; against Chief
Justice Chase, Justices Nelson, Clifford and
| Field. AS to the constitutionaltty OF the act
as applicable to contracts made since its pas.

stand, although it is certain the legality of the
act will be affirmed as in the other case, and
perhaps by larger number of Judges. The
Court on Monday will announce several 9th.

journment until December.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Argus imaglnes
that be has made particularly sharp polnt
on the Lewiston Journal, the latter paper
having cited the fact that no liquor dealers
wera indicted at the last session OF the grand
;urv &c an evidence that the present Demo
cratic city government refuses to enforce the
nrobibitory law, and that the traffic is practi-
cally unrestraned. Under Republican rule
there were great number of indictments
All says the argus correspondent, whose
style of writing reminds one of Mayor Garce-
Ions fast day discourse, what an absurdity!
The fact that there are no prosecutions,
where formerly there were scores, shows that
the Democracy have abolished the traffic, if it
shows anything! This reasoning reminds us
OF the retort the Southern members of Con-
gress always made to Northern members
when they were rebuked for the sin OF slave
holding and the consequent demorallzation Oh
Southern society," "Why," said they, sit is
susceptible of demonstration that 10 our part
of the country the people are more obedient
TO the laws than in yours. Look at your
crowded ias and prisons! Ours are empty"
The notorious fact was that in the South a
large number OF offenses, and among them
such grave ones as homicide, were committed
with IMMUNITY. The jails were empty be-
cause the criminals were at large.
