The spirit of Peace.

Recent events in our country In the
submission of important disturbing eie'
ments to peaceful arbitration, Indicates q
growing and healthy spirit OF peace.
The war spirit is a savage spirit, in any
phase which it may be considered. 1t is
hardly less adverse to the genius Of repub-
lioanism than the genius of Christianity
It Is a spirit that drinks human blood and
eats dead mems flesh from their bones.
Ninety nine in. every hundred of all
the controversies which agitate nations
and drive them to the arbitration OF the
sword, could be amicsbly settled, If only
one side were governed by strict, moral
and religious principle, and every one of
both sides were under that happy infu-
ence. The true interests OF this country
lie in pacific policy. Agriculture (manu.
facture. commeree) in all their rambler
tons among ua, need long and settled
pence in order to reeuperste and be
brought to successful tide of prosperity
While during the Rebellion they prosper
ed, yet the reaction at its close, threw back
these interests alone a decade of years.
In other and more deep thrilling interests,
twice that period cannot repair it's
ravages. The state of national morals
which invariably follows on the footsteps
of war, is if possible more appalling than
all the murdered men that cover the bat
tie field. II this nation knows its OWE
interests, and has wisdom and firmnesi
enough to stand by them, we shall not be
easily dragged into an unnecessary and
bloody war. ,....t g.. ..

Justice Ledwith will do with it. Next
door to the Alanson Methodist church is
a sewing machine room, owned by Jew
and psrrisoned by Jewish operatives. On
Saturday it is silent, but on Sunday the
machines are in full blast, and their per-
sistent clicking is a great annoyance to
the Methodist minister and his hearers.
The Hebrew proprietor is willing to sus-
pend work during the religious exercises
next door, il the Methodists will make
good the loss he thereby incurs, but this
they utterly refuse to do, proferring to
seek relief from the courts.

Town Grand Juror, and together they

had been a heavy shower on the evening
previous, and wagon tracks, both in and
out of the yard were plainly discernible.
These tracks, upon being measured, cor
responded with the running gear of his
wagon, which was full four inches wider
than the ordinary run of wagons. These
tracks were also traced into and from the

PLYMOUTH.-On Sunday evening last
a violent rain storm visited the southeast
part of Plymouth, and the adjoining parts
of the towns of Ludlow, CaYendish and
Reading, commencing at about half past
eight o'clock and continuing until mid
night, during which time the rain fell in
torrents, filling and OVERLOOKING the
streams to an extent exceeding that of
the disastrous freshet of October 1869.
The fury Of the storm was confined to a.
territory of from four to six miles square,
about equally divided between the four
towns named. The damage to highways
was extensive, the road bed being badly
washed and a number of bridges carried
away.
In Cavandish, in addition to the injury
to the highways and bridges, the dam of
Prescott Whites mill, on the twenty mile
stream, that of the Ravens mill and of
the new Davis mill in Wbitesville, were
| destroyed, the last named mill being also
al adjoining barn carried off.
The twenty mile stream received it's
name from revolutionary soldiers, passing
to and from Charleston, n. H., and Ii
conderoga, from the fact that it was dis
tant twenty miles from Charleston.
"A white wooden uck was recently
killed at Tyson Furnace, and the older
inhabitants recall the fact that a similar
one was killed twenty. years ago in
