CAsTL EToN-Mrs. Holt, widow of the
late Noah Holt, week ago Last Saturday,
met with q serious, and it is feared in the
end will prove fatal accident, by falling
from a chair on which she was standing,
breaking her thigh. She is one of the
most worthy and oldest women in the
town, her age being nearly ninety.
Mr. T Fletcher now occupies the
dental rooms in Northlop's building, re-
Gently vacated by Mr.. H. Terrill, who has
moved to Middlebury. Mr.. Fletcher is a
graduate of dental college, and has
practiced his profession in the city. He
comes from Exeter, N. H.
-Valsquette has fitted up convenient
and pleasant rooms in his building on
Main street, for IA restaurant. All things
con acted with the rooms are agreeable
and inviting, and they will doubtless con-
tinue 30 under his care. He has done q
prosperous business here for years in an
other inc. Time will give the result OF
his new enterprise.
Mr.. A. Loveland is building respect
able, but not very expensive edifce "a
BY IS feet, two stories high, on the site
Of the old one destroyed by fire on the
| 1st of December last. It is a decided i'm
proven MT on the old one. The upper
rooms are arranged for an ambrotype
gallery; the lower rooms will be used by
Mr.. Loveand for his old business, which
he has been engaged in since 1920 in this
village He has done business more years
in the place than any other man, save one.
His son Julian has just returned home,
after an absence of seventeen years, in
the West.
Mr. NJ. always likes to do his neigh
Dor favor, go he lent his neighbor, Mr..
w, buggy few days since to go some
thirty miles into New York State, and re-
turn in two or three days. The borrower
owned a horse and harness, but to the
surprise of the lender, the vehicle was
returned in due time as freight by rail-
road, and he was called upon to pay
charges amounting to three dollars. He
paid them under a protest. Some said it
was supremely mean caper; others re-
marked that it was the dryest and coolest
joke of the season.
One of our honest, industrious men
took his AK on his shoulder and bis saw in
his hand, and went to his work a week
ago last Sunday, as he would on any other
morning in the week, supposing it was
Saturday. After saving and splitting
wood an hour or more, a young lady in
formed him it was Sunday. He apollo
gized for his carelessness, dropped his ak
and saw without delay, and rested from
his labors the remainder of the day.
The most independent, happy and
knowing individual in town is pauper.
Since becoming town charge, which ls
only few months, he has travelled over
the road to Hartford and New Haven,
Ct, and back twice into New York State
and back times without number; to Rat
land Middlebury and other places very
often. All he desires is to ride, chew
tobacco and have his own way, all of which
he makes out to do.
The Green Mountain vooalists, as
they please to style themselves, comprised
of quartette from Hydeville, gave
concert at the Town Hall last Saturday
evening. The entertainment, as we learn,
was highly priced and appreciated. These
vocalists have travelled some. B. ". B

COLUMBIA. >. ", NV. ~.
Mr.. II. II. Kimpton, the New York
financial agent of this State, arrived
here today for the purpose of sub,
hitting his official acts to a rigid ex-
animation. lie denies the charge
that he has been guilty of malfeas'
ance in office, and says that the accu-
sations of certain newspapers in New
York that the South Carolina debt
has been fraudulcntly increased by
him are false. lie says that the total
Indebtedness of the State will not eX,
ceed $l2,000,oo0. lie proposes tc
have his accounts examined by COM
mittce of citizens and taxpayers
Generals Wade Hampton, NJ. e. But
lcr, NJ. W. Gary and Judge Porter, o1
Charleston, will be invited to assist in
the Investigations. Kimpton is very
bitter against the State officials
whom he accuses Of extravaganza
and maladministration Of the State
finances. He says that owing to this
c.was obliged to make ruiuous terms
with moncy-lenders to raise money
and had to hypothccate bonds with
ont warrant Of law for the purpose
This, however. he claims is matter
for tire officials to settle with tho tax
payers He was merely the agent tt
do as he was told. All that he seeks
is vindication Of his own acts, anc
not those of his employers.

THE KINGS MOUTAIN MILITARY
SCHOoL.-In to-day's paper, we publish
a card by which it will be seen that the
arrangement entered into some time ago
between Colonel Coward and Colonel j..
P. Thomas, for conducting the Kings
Mountain Military School, at this place,
has been broken up. This result has
been broken up. This result has been
brought about in consequence of the
disturbed condition of affairs in the up
country, these gentlemen believing it
impracticable for the school to receive
sufficient patronage to render the Propo-
sed combination advisable. While we
regret that this course has been deemed
proper under the pressure of the events
BY which we are surrounded, yet we are
pleased to be able to state that the eXer-
cises of the school will oe continued un-
der the management of Colonel Cowvrd,
who will bring to his aid a corps of as
sistants equal to all demands that may
be made on the institution.- YorkviAe

GEN. SHERMAN ON GEN. GRANTS
! = = ''' POLICY.

q A reporter of the New York Herald
reports some remarks made by Gen
erat Sherman as part of an ''inter-
view with that officer just prior to
lis departure for Europe on the
trigato Wabash. Being asked about
the administration policy in the
South, the General said:
II don't care to speak plainly on
those matters. 1t is not in my line
of duty: l think, however, that
when the war was ended warfare
against our brethren of the South
should have ceased. The negroes are
sll-disposed; and kindly people,
but they are not, as class, posted in
the science of government. they are
apt to make mistakes and: behave
rashly. But I have no doubt what
ever that everything will turn out all
right in the end. The Union men in
the South were never very fine class
of people, ard somo down there now
would be better out of it, but their
presence in the late insurrectionary
States affords no proper excuse for
acts of lawlessness."
: "Thcn, General, you do not approve
of the repressive acts of the Federal
Government Z"
: II think q mistake has been made.
They are not all rascais in the South.
The majority of the people are the
best citizens of the republic. The
young men that followed tho retreat
ing gConfederatcs into Texas, tho men
of the army of Virginia and the lads
of the West who leaned toward the
South, we're capital fellows, though
mistaken. These, in my opinion,
should have been appointed to posi-
ton under the gpverpmeDt as mar
shals, postmasters, internal revenue
collectors and to other Federal and
1State offices, instead of being driven
into opposition. really believe that
these young men represented the
Sonth, and that they x,ero ready to
cry spcccavi' and supp4t the govorn-
fnent. 7 am sorry they were not
Il Gated properly. But it will be all
tight in the end" ''E'

Catacazy's Account Of Himself-How
the Russian Minister Blows his own
Horn.
Contributed to Every Saturday. |


As the Grand Duke Alexis, during
his stay in the United States, be-
comes virtually the guest of these di.
plomatic personages. a word or two
concerning The Russian Minister and
his wife, may not be ont of place in
this connection. Mr.. Catacazy is q
Greek by birth, and about fifty years
of age. He was formerly attached to
the Southern Legation in Washington
as Chief Secretary, and it was while
occupying that position that he form
ed the acquaintance of the French
lady who subsequently became his
wife. When he was accredited to
this country as Minister Plenipotcn-
tiary. some of the diplomatic ladies
in Washington refused, for reasons
that do not concern the public, to be
intimate with the family Of the Min
lister. Smarting under this alleged
unkind treatment, as it is said, he ex-
pressed hisopinions, both by spoken
and written words, in such decided
terms that tho President and his
CAbinet took up the gauntlet, and in
June last letter was addressed to
tho Russian Government requesting
the recall of Mr.. Catacazy. When
that document reached St. Petersburg
it was duly read, but not formally re-
ceived, because Of the absence in Ger
many of the Prime Minister, who
was known to be warm personal
friend Of the Minister to Washington.
Months elapsed, and still Mr.. Catacazy
was not recalled, nor has he been
down 20 the present hour. In view
of the expected coming of the Prince,
the American Government concluded,
for the time being, to forget it's difficulty
with Mr.. Catacazy, intending to insist
upon his recall Immediately after the
honors Of the Prince have been con-
cluded, and he has returned to his ma
tive land. In the meantime, it is con-
idcntly asserted that Mr.. Catacazy
will resign his position as Minister to
Washington Immediately after the
return of the Prince, and thereby
render unnecessary any further ac-
tion on tho part of the American
Government. Wherever the fault
may lie, it's certainly unfortunate
that private difficulty should be the
cause of endangering the harmony
which has so long existed between
the Russian and American Cabinets
