| lhe last issue OF the Northern Opectato
was gotten off one day in June, 1880
about II o'clock in the forenoon Horac'
Greeley, with stick and small bundle
tied up with handkerchief and resting
ON his shoulder, and an overcoat on hi
arm which Mr.. Hosford had given him
(the first one he ever had and which
probably lasted until he obtained his
white one that he has worn ever since,
bid adieu to his friends in Poultney and
started for his fathers on foot, who then
liven in Pennsylvania, six hundred miles
away. He was then twenty years old
and had laid the foundation for the
most successful journalist America has
had.
Those gentlemen above named relate
incidents, anecdotes and "reminiscences
without number concerning Horace
Greeley while he lived in Poultney, all
going to show character which all the
world is familiar with. Mr.. Hosford
still retains strong attachment for Mr..
Greeley. They have had considerable
correspondence; he says Mr.. Greeley
was the honestest boy he ever knew.
Well, with what the people of Poult-
ney know about Horace Greeley, will
they support him at the next Presiden-
tial election?
1t looks now as though his votes here
will be few. We cannot tell what change
few months will develop but SO far
as any expression has as yet been given,
it is almost unanimous to give support to
the nominee of the Union Republican
Convention to be holden at Philadelphia
an the 9th of June next. Every we'll
informed man in this country knows what
brought the Republican party into ex-
istence, and knows what that party has
done. We think here that it's work is
not eompleted-that the issues growing
out Of the late civil war are not all set
tied; and we cannot secede from par
ty that has such a record so long as it
has work to be done. If Mr.. Greeley
shall be the nominee Of the Philadelphia
Convention we can cheerfully support
him. We acknowledge he has great
abilities and especially his valuable SER
vices in the Republican party ever since
it came into existence. No man has
done more for that party than Horace
Greeley. We have no disposition to
abuse him or underrate his past services;
but there are principles that we must
adhere to which lie far below all person.
al and even party considerations.
That there have been abuses under the
administration of President Grant is
not to be denied; and so there will be
under administrations SO long as this
government shall have an existence !;
but it must be conceded that as finan-
cial success the present administration is
without parallel in the history of the
world. The national debt has been paid
off more rapidly than the most sanguipe
even dared to hope for.
We can support Grant, Greeley, or
one of several other men that have been
named in connection with the Presiden-
cy provided the candidate assents to
stand on the platform which shall be
constructed under the principles of the
Republican party proper.

HINTS TO THE Rich AND FAsTrDIous.
In the course of its admirable disci.
pline of the rich men of New York
whose indifference or completely alone
make rascality and ruffianism possible
in their local government, the New York
Times has these healthy moral reflec-
tions: Our rich men growl and feel sore
because they are not treated with the
Difference which is accorded to aristocrats
in England; but they must remember
that aristocrats in old countries got
whatever prestige or authority they have
by their willingness TO take and give
hard knocks to risk life and health
and possessions in defense of any cause
they have at heart; to face discomforts
with Joy, as one of their prerogatives,-
There is not thing worth having either
in our society or that of Europe, which
has not been purchased by terrible sac
rifces and sufferings on the part of some
persons or class of persons. When ex-
ulting triumphantly over the Union, it
must not be forgotten that millions have
suffered for it in mind and body and
when glorying in the spread of Christi
anity, we must not forget what the
spread of Christianity has cost the world
in simple physical suffering. The very
ideal of judicial independence and pu-
rity which our lawyers worship over
their coffee, is the result of the sorrows
of many generations, of dozens of deaths
on the scahold, and thousands of deaths
on the field. 'It is not the victory
says some French writers, ait is the
combats in which noble hearts rejoice :"
and if our rich men cannot bear un-
pleasant bodies to come between the
wind and their nobility, and cannot bear
the sight Of dirty people, they must
make up their minds to bear the con-
tempt which, in all ages and all coun-
tries, has justly been showered ON the
cowardly and effeminate.

A funnv little incident ooo

A funny little incident occurred
at one Of the stores In this place q
few days ago. A littlo urchin was
lolteplng around the store, Seeing
a hat, which was the very essence
of beauty to his youthful imagina-
tlon, and no doubt, financial por,
traits being scarce with him, he
resolved to possess it forthwith and
without price. Watching a favor.
able opportunity, while the clerks
were busily engaged, he seized the
coveted article, and slipped out Of
the store, as he thought, upper
ceivcd. After having secured the
prize, he was in the condition of the
man who drew an elephantin lot
terry didn't know what to do with
itj or probably the 7th Command
ment required to his mind, Seiz-
ing q favorable opportunity, he
stole back into the store, deposited
the hat in its rcsting>pace, and do
parted as silently as he came. The
little fellow did not seem to be con-
scious that certain gentleman was
watching him, very much amused
at his conduct.

The heaviest fall of rain which
has blessed this region for more
than two years fell last Thursday
afternoon and night, causing many
Of the small streams north of town
to overflow and damage meadows,
swept away oats and hay in the
shock, the growing corn, fences, &C.,
to u great extent.
Cornelius Karnes lost about sew.
en- acres of oats in the shock; the
meadow of Thomas Rannalls was so
badly damaged that it can not be
cut; the cornfelds and meadows of
J. M. Foreman, Benson Dunkle,
Hon. John Fee-in fact of all the
the farmers in that section, were
more or less damaged. Elk Fork
was out of banks the road leading
to Vinton Station, between g. A.

day on account of high water, The
growing crops were damaged along
this stream. Gilman, Ward & Co.
lost lot of salt which was slowed
away In the lower part of the Steam
Mill, On Wheelabout the corn,
oats, wheat, etc., were damaged by
