FouRTn WARD scnooI ENTERTAIN
MEST..The large hall in the Fourth
Ward school house was filled last evening
to hear the recitations, songs, &C., pre-.
sented by the intermediate department Of
the school. The programme was varied
and exceedingly good one, and almost
every performance was most heartily
chccrcd The little folks who took part
in the entertainment acquitted themselves
handsomely. The proceeds of the exhibi.
ton are to be devoted to the purchase of
an organ for the school, and judging from
the number present last evening we should
think sum almost sufficient to procure a
flno instrument was realized.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The popular cry: "Hurrah for DIT
Mr.. John G. SAKE is going to take tho
stump for Greeley and Brown.
The story that Tom Murphy presented
Gen. Grant a cottage at Long Branch is de-
MED by Murphy.
One hundred Republican voters of North
ampton, Mass, have signed the call for
Greeley meeting.
Some more '.liie-long democrats in New
York have got their names into print by
expressin purpose to vote for Grant and
Wilson.
Twelve scriptural and anti-Greeley DEM
oerats out in Illinois close their ''card" by
saying they don't much believe In casting
out devils through Boolzebub, the prince OF
devils.
The Rutland Herald is authority for the
statement that the circulation of the New
York Tribune has fallen oil one-half in
Vermont, since Mr.. Greeley's nomination.
Mr.. Gardner Brewer of Boston denies
that he has received letter from Senator
Sumner declaring for Greeley. and Gen.
Banks contradicts his reported detection.
During Van Buren's administration, 90
out of 9S receivers Of public money were
detaulters. Under some democratic adj
minislrations from % to 30 per cent of the
public moneys have been lost or stolen.
while under Grant less than two per cent
has been lost.
Mr.. Frederick Douglass, in an article on
the Presidential campaign, says that "whcr-
ever Mr. Greeley may have been in other
days, wherever he may be to-day in his in-
ner consciousness, he is practically with
the political enemies of the black mans
liberty"
Raphael Semmes, the pirate chief of the
Alabama, made speech at a late Greeley
ratification meeting in Mobile. during
which he not only claimed TO be ian orig
inal reeley man." but he added with true
Southern JUNCTION, at is Horace Greeley
who has come TO the Captain of the Alaba-
ma, and not the Captain of the Alabama
who has gone to Horace Greeley"

In North Carolina, where, In spite of power
full combined efforts, the republicans have
developed unexpected strength, have also
encouraged the friends of tho administra-
ton and lowered the arrogant tone of the
opposition. There are various causes for
the changes now going on, which can hard
ly fail to continue in effective operation
from this time till the election. The prin-
cipal one of these, so far as republicans are
Interested, is that the opposition of the boil
tiers rests wholly upon personal, not at all
upon public, grounds. With their personal
grievances the country has no sympathy,
and it is impossible for the three or four
millions of republican voters who have
never aspired to an Office under the federal
government, and who do not care straw
for its patronage on their own account, to
look upon the president and his admins
tration in the same light with their bitter
personal enemies. And they are repealed
rather than attracted by the orators and
journals who tell them, against the evil
dence of their senses, that the president
and those around him are prodigies of in
capacity and dishonesty. The apprchen-
sion of the boiling republicans, that the
democratic party in body might not come
up to Mr.. Greeley's support heartily, has
led many of them TO throw Off all pretence
of n difference between them, and fight the
battle on the old democratic ground. That
also has introduced an element of disguise
into the canvass, and sent many wavering
republicans back into the ranks where they
are working earnestly for the defeat of the
new combination. The interest which the
democrats have taken thus far has been
mostly of a negative sort. They mean to
preserve their state and district organiza-
tons, and secure, with the air Of their new
| allies, as large n representation in Congress
| as possible. 1t will be strange If they dc
not get some gain out of it. But their sup
port of Mr.. Greeley Is not of the kind which
would be flattoring 10 a sensitive man, and
is not at all to be trusted in an election
where every vote is needed. In New Eng
land, judging from evidence accommodating
from all quarters, the Greeley ticket is
weaker than IL has been at any time since
he was nominated. Many democrats re-
gard II rs odious, and declare themselves
against 1t under all circumstances. Few
republicans are for it, and they will not
venture to show their hand. The two states
commonly classed as doubtful, New Hamp.
shire and Connecticut, were never less
doubtful than they are now; and through
out New England the intelligent, sober and
thoughtful sentiment which has been the
strong fortress of republicanism in the days
of its trial, is loyal as ever.-Boston Advcr.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CoNTEsT.-The st.
Johnsbury CALIFORNIAN declares in favor of
the reelection of Judge Poland as Repre-
sentative to Congress from this district.
1t says:
ave regard il as exceedingly unfortu-
nate that Judge Steele should have put
himself into the field as a candidate against
Judge Poland, at this time. The unfairness
to use mild term-of Judge Steeles
course is intensified by the peculiar rela-
tons which Judge Steele has sustained to
Judge Poland ever since the time the form
err was elevated TO the Bench-he having
been almost continually under obligations
of an unusual nature TO the latter, Judge
Poland. We feel confident that this dis
trict will not suffer their member to be
treated with such unlairness and indienity,
nor will they readily trust their interests
at Washington TO n man whose ambition
so easily overcomes his principles"
The Bellows Falls Times "hAd supposed
and expected and thinks this is the
view of the people of Windham county
"that Judge Poland would be re-nomina-
tod without opposition"

The village housewives Of Jamaica
have been greatly annoyed for a few weeks
by new specie Of moth, called by them,
the black moth. 1t is larger than the COM
mon m 9th, and lis color is made up Of two
alternating rings OF black and grey, the
black being much the wider and so giving
it a black appearance. II has been and
still is very destructive. Several ladies
have lost their dresses, carpets, shawls and
bed clothes and other wooden goods of ev-
cry description.
"A man in Jamaica, within the last six
years has had born 10 him by his first wife,
pair of twin daughters, she dying, and,
by second wife, one pair of twin boys
and another pair of twin daughters--being
three pairs of twins by two mothers.

Rev. J. c. Houghton Of Burlington Is
supplying the PULPIT of the Congregational
church in very acceptable manner, dur
ing the temporary absence of the pastor,
Rev. l.. @. Chase, who Is at the sea shore

stand that Mr.. Houghton Is to preach in
Fayetteville next Sabbath.
The Lest piece of tobacco we have seen
Is that of Chandler PuGer of this town.

With the exception of the size of the fields,
Dummerston seems likely to go ahead Of

The farmers who don't raise tobacco
are about finishing up their haying, and
will probably be all through before this is

THE KRBEL SBCRBT SERVICE
REPORT.

The republican congressional committee
have published the report of J. T. Thomp-
son, made to the confederate government
in December, 1864, of his operations in the
northwest and in Canada. One of the
principal facts of interest refers to the ex-
istencc and purpose of secret order,
known as "Sons of Liberty" who, at one
time, plotted rebellion in. the northwest,
and went so far as to fix n day for the
movement. "Peaco meetings. were held
to prepare the public mind for the event.
but the threat of Mr.. Mcdonald, then can
didate for governor of Indiana, TO expose
the plot, unless they desisted, led to its a
abandonment. The vigilance of detectives
in finding out the secrets of the order and
the men belonging TO il led to its dissolu-
ton and the formation of n new order call
ed the "Order of the Star" 1t details also
the attempts made to seize the steamer
Michigan on Lake Erie, and with it Capt.
Johnson's Island, and release the confeder-
ate prisoners confined there. The burning
of steamers at st. Louis, and the attempt TO
burn New York city with Greek fire,
which failed, are also detailed, and there
arc also illusions 10 lncenularlSm III Olnef
western cities, effected, as claimed, by reb
eli agents. Mr.. Thompson, however, adj
vises Mr.. Benjamin to be cautious in the
examination of claims of agents, who pro-
fessed TO have done the work, before he
paid them for ii. Near the close of the re-
port is the following paragraph: "Within
the last few days Dr. X. l. Stewart of Vir-
ginia, has reached this place, and very
mysteriously informs me he has plan for
the execution of something, which has re-
ceivod the appreciation OF the President.
He is in want Of money, aud states TO me
that you gave him drait on me for $50, GOO
in gold, which he lost on the way" What
that something was the report does not
explain, whether it contemplated the as
sassination of President Lincoln, or the
importation of smallpox into northern
cities, we can only infer from subsequent
events. The fact that many prominent
democrats of the North co-operated with
him in his efforts is stated, but their names
are not given. Horace Greeley is once re-
ferred TO as holding a correspondence with
tour friends" but that was well known at
the time, and no new light is thrown upon

Two men, Mr.. VIM. Edward Jones of
Somerville, Mass, and Mr.. Willard A.
Lowell of Drewsville, were drowned in
Cold River on Friday morning. July 20.
Mr.. Jones and family and VIM. p. Hill and
family, Il brother law OF Mr.. Jones. were
on a visit to Drewsvile, and. together with
Mr.. Lowell, the gentleman with whom
they were stopping, were out in the early
morning fishing when the accident occur
red. The different gentlemen were apart,
ON the border Of the river, throwing their
lines and trolling for fish, Mr.. Hill being
in the rear, when suddenly he heard a
splashing in the water, but thought little
of IL save 10 shout out, receiving no answer.
On turning n bend in the river few min
utes after, he was astonished to see tie
heads of Messrs. Jones and Lowell just a
bove the water, both of whom sank before
he could reach them The river is narrow
one md not vary deep save In this ono
place where both seemed destined to meet
their end. Mr.. Hill is unable to explain
the mystery of how the two came in the
water, his only theory being that both
came TO high ledge of rocks which line
the shore, and that one of them must have
slipped of, and the other in attempting TO
save him was also drawn in. Mr.. Lowell
was good swimmer, but Jones could not
swim at all. Both were married men and
each leaves wife aud children to mourn
their loss. Mr. Lowell was thirty-two

HENRY WILSON IN NORTH CARoLINA.-
In recent speech at Wilmington, n. c.,
Mr.. Wilson said:
return here afer five years Of listening
to the stories of the ruin of North Caiolina
and the dospotism of the federal govern
ment but find your city increased in
prosperity and your condition improved.
cannot sec nor do you feel this despotism
of the United States government come
here TO utter to you the sincere convictions
of my heart do not come TO tell you that
every Republican is good man aud every
Democrat bad man. There are good and
pure men in each party, aud there are also
bad and ignoble men in both parties. But
the cou airy is arrayed to-day in two grand
organizations each have their policies and
principles they are arrayed against each
.sotber. / do not propose to say anything
against Mr.. Greeley or Mr. Brown; they
arc both old political and personal friends
l come here not to speak Of men. Grant
and Greeley are before you but the con-
test Is not between men but between the
ideas and principles of these two grand or
CARNATIONS. Some mon will tell you, lyon
can vote the Baltimore and Cincinnati tick
ct and claim TO be Republicans" but you
could as well have been in Lees army and
say that you had fought for the banner of
the Union. A vote for Greeley is vote to
defeat the the Republican party, and 1t
means not only the defeat OF that party, but
its determination. They say that it is time
for this great party to die. Why, we have
just begun 10 live, and we will live a thous-
and years. We have three and a half mill
lion votes, and these three and a half mil
lions we intend To give for Grant. But
what has this organization done that it
should die2 Has it committed crime a.
ganst God or humanity? 1t has done
more for the country, for liberty, to lift up
down -trodden humanity, and to make the
United States government grand and glo-
rious, than any organization that ever ex-
listed on Gods green earth.
