Chester.
Last Monday the wind let on and
chanted continued wall until We'd
nesday night. Tuesday morning the
zephyrs played their strong hands,
blowing over the several church steep
les, turning cellars bottom upwards,
etc, etc. During that day we made a
few calculations and found the aver
age meanness of Boreas to be 100 Gu
bits (AIosaic Stapdard) high, having
velocity such as to dull the point of
a cambric needle, and persistency of
purpose equal to the imprecations Of a
corn-pmched, buttonless shirted old
sinner.-Our town notes for this week
are thin as agency whiskey. Lent is
observed by all that know how. So
far, innocence itself could not have
made a mistake.-The auction sale of
Prescott Head, Esq, was attended by
very large number Of people. One
would have thought circus located
in the vicinity We are told that the
property had recently been offered at
private sale for over u thousand dol
lars less than it brought under G. O.
Moves hammer. Go, then, to the
printer and have hand-bills struck off
if you would enhance your interest in
the disposal Of any kind Of property
Saturday evening seemed to be devot-
ed to caucussing preparatory to the
March election. "Granite Pit" got
unanimous for Charles Robbins for
Town Clerk, while "Sleepy Hollow
adjourned its meeting in accordance
with its characteristic stupidity.
Among the popular candidates this
side of the hill for clerk may be men
toned Messrs. Teeth, Law and Cos
pei. The suburbansare intending to get
q portion of District No. 20 sett off.
Do they know that said District is the
city proper, and don't contemplate any
such proposed dissection of its corpor-
ate carcass? The time is coming old
barn-yards, when consolidation will
! give us a graded school. D.

WOODSTOCK, W., THURSDAY, MAR. 2, 1872.


Born, Feb. Doth, q son to Mr.. and
Mrs. L. Goodrich. Having been SO
unfortunate as to be born on the 29th of
February he can only have a birth
day once in four years nor is that all,
he is also q seventh son, and will have
to know everything. We are going
to let him write locals for the "Orange
County Democrat if our little Eagle
don't catch him before he gets big
enough.-Whooping- cough is getting
very plenty hereabouts.-Several val
liable horses were bought from here
last week.-Mr. Levi Washburn the
veteran nursery man, has so far re-
covered from his sickness as to be
again at his office for business.-The
"Orange County Eagle," little daub,
issued from room in West Randolph
got on terrible tear last week, be-
cause he discovered an error in our
report Of the concert given by the
Musical Association the week before.
Here is his method of annihilation.
y 'that the author of them
is not only an inaccurate counter of
''chickens before they are hatched, but
that he does not know, and cares just
as little toknow what he writes about. P"
The editorial head of the Eagle
got consolation that morning from the
''melodious notes Of a crow" which he
says were quite pleasing. There is a
little song about "crows" he ought to
have to read.-We will now give an
item that may not be news here, but
may be to some Of your readers. That
same "Eagle Editor" is refuse jack
ass. We counted the egg" before it
was hatched. We have seen the little
runt and heard him bray, and we
know.-The Eagle said last week that
"Dr. Dutton, wonld speak at the
church in Hancock next Sunday" 1t
would have been lie if anybody else
had said so, for the Doctor was not
aware of it.-Prof Harrington the re-
nowned magician and ventliloquist is
to please the little folks here in few
days. We presume the little donkey
Edgla will be there.-The social
dance, for old and young, at Granite
Hall, last Thursday eve, was well at
tended and much enjoyed by the
young folks, especially. There was
none of those blood-thirsty Eagles
there to frighten the little iunocents.-
Mercury 20 degrees below zero Tues
day morning at 7 o'clock. Poor time
to hatch eggs-the count won't hold
out.

Peterson's Magazine for January,
1873, is already on our table. Never
was there handsomer or better num-
Der. In spite of competition "Peter-
son" more than holds his own. It is
hard to tell which of its two steel en-
cravings is the best, Cherry Ripe "
or "The Initials on the Tree" they
are both so beautiful. There is q
large-sized colored Berlin pattern for
a sofa cushion, or foot-stool, in more
than dozen colors, which, at retail,
would cost dollar. The mammoth
colored steel fashion plate is exquisite !;
Peterson is now the only magazine
that gives these colored steel plates.
The stories, as always, in this lady's
book, are the very lest. Two pow
erful novelets are begun in this num-
Der. By all means subscribe to Pc
terson's Magazine, that is, after you
have subscribed to your local paper.
The price is but two dollars year,
with deductions to clubs, and five
dollar engraving to those getting up
clubs. Specimens are sent gratis. Ad-
dress Chas. J. Peterson, 300 Chestnut

No one can regret more sincerely
than ourselves that the State Legisla
lature should have found it necessary
to impeach Gov. Warmoth in order tt
put an end to the political compiled,
tons which surround the State Gov.
ernmcnt and clog its machinery. We
have often pictured a brilliant future
full Of great struggles and trinmphs
for Gov. Warmoth, and it is disagree
able to have the anticipation so rudely
blasted.

We rejoice in the reelection Of
State Senator T. C. Anderson from
the Opelousas district. Mr.. Anderson
ran independently and outstripped
both the regular Democratic and Re-
publican candidates. This is evidence
of his great personal popularity among
his constituents, ard shows they ap-
prove Of his past course in the Legis-
lature. Senator Anderson gives his
adherence to the General Assembly in
session at the Mechanics Institute,
and recognizes Pinchback as Acting
Governor of the State.

Jacob Hawkins, Esq, q member OF
the State Board Of Returning Officers,
has. been appointed by Governor
Pinchback judge of the Superior
Court Of Orleans parish, q tribunal
created by the Legislature a few days
since to replace the abolished Seventh
and Eighth District Courts. Mr.. Haw-
kins is spoken Of as a prominent, able
member Of the bar, unconnected with
politics, and it is thought his selection
for the important position he has been
called to fill will meet with general
appreciation among the mass of the
people of New Orleans.

The Iberville Ne,cs Of last week

editor vigorously denies that the cir
cumstance can be regarded as evidence
that the life Of the Ne,cs is waning.

cause Of the irregularity. We are glad

world, and will always welcome its

denouncing them,

1t was characteristic of the New Or
leans Times to bestow praise upon the
legal ability, personal integrity, etc.,
of Judge Durell the day before his
decision in the case of Kellogg Us.
Warmoth was rendered, then turn
round and abuse him in the most vio-
lent and obscene manner the day after.
A more vacillating, worthless, venal
sheet than the Times has never dis
graced the journalistic profession in
our State. From a bitter and unreal
sonable denunciator of Gov. Warmoth
it has transformed into his especial
champion and supporter; and this at
q time when the warmest friends and
adherents of his Excellency-who
defended him from the attacks of the
Times and its kind-have been COM
PEELED to desert him because of his
arbitrary official actions. The Times
will always be found with it's mouth
wide open ready to denounce even
suspicion of corruption among its en-
emies, yet the sanity and immaculate
sheet can be bribed to the support of
the mostiniqditons scheme imaginable.
It has became notorious that the New
Orleans Times is blatant Falstaff
OF the press, vendor of cheap brag-
gadocio and self-conceit, an assuming,
hypocritical publication, a gross fall
sitier of public sentiment and patent
facts. Among decent and honest peo-
pie its abuse will prove more benef-
clal to the person or thing abused than
It's praise possibly could, and Judge
Durell shows his appreciation of this
ctby treating its Shiny attacks upon
his official and private character with
silent contempt. These are not only
our sentiments, but those of numerous
others.

element and indignation exist among
the people Of New Orleans over the
political situation. Such is not the
case. New Orleans has been very quiet
