= The New Bedford Mercury thinks
"H II. G. is suffering very much from an
attack of chill-Blaines."
- Partisan fun has an edge to it. The
sale of explosive cigars in the streets of
that city continues in spite of the pre-
cautions of the police. The cigars in
question appear genuine to the purchas-
er, but contain minute squib or crack
er, which, when the cigar has been con-
sumed to a certain point, explodes, the
cigar itself flying to some distance from
the mouth of the smoker.

An enth usiastic member of the guild in
ST. Louis was awakened the other night,
from dream of impending mishap, by
cry of pain, and found himself sitting
up in bed holding his wife by the ears,
having almost twisted her head off.
Nearly 100000 letters went to
the Dead Letter Office last year. They
are partially classified as follows: Fifty
eight thousand letters had no county or
State direction 100000 lacked stamps !;
and 800 were posted without any address
at all $4,000 in cash and more than
100000 in drafts, checks, ETC., were
found in these letters. 1t appears that,
on an average, every letter that is mis-.
directed or goes to the Dead Letter office
from any cause, contains one dollar.
The New York Tribune says that
the original MS. of the Declaration of
Independence is fading into oblivion,
and threatena to be presently. merely an
empty parchment of the most uninter-
esting aspect. Nearly all the signatures
are already effaced, and appeals are
making to people who know how to re-
store old MSS. to preserve those that are
left. Gen. Washington's commission as
Commander-in-C Chief of the Colonial Ar
my is in the same condition of palIor.
- The report of the commissioners of
the London police gives many interest
ing facts. During the last ten years
these have been built within the limits
of police supervision nearly 10000
houses, with an additional length of
streets amounting to 635 miles. For
many years London has not been so free
from crime as during 1871. Burglary,
house-breaking, robbery and simple lar.
ceny-the last especially show steady
decrease. The commissioners insist that
the number of offenses would be still
further diminished if property-owners
would use greater caution. The report
contains the startling announcement
that half the windows of London can
be opened with an ordinary putty knife. /"
1t is somewhat curious that, while the
number of summonses against the occu-
piers of public-houses and beer-houses
has decreased, the number of persons ar
ressed as drunk and disorderly has great
ly increased. The report, indeed, argues
that there is +" a lamentable increase in
the grosser forms of intoxication."

Gen. Fitzpatrick Nailed Again.
The following letters afford their own

explanation
WINDSOR, Aug. %, 1872.
DEAR SIR:-Gen. Fitzpatrick, who is
now canvassing Vermont in behalf of
Greeley and Brown, spoke last evening
in this town. His address, which con-
sisted largely of personal abuse of his
opponents, contained one charge against
President Grant, in which your own
good name is involved, which / have
never heard before, and think it should
be contradicted. He asserted that, be-
fore President Grants Inauguration, you
presented him with very fine library
worth $4,000 dollars, and then called
attention to the fact that on the day af-
ter the inauguration you were nominated
for the Office of Attorney General, init.
mating that the nomination followed as
the direct result of the present. Gen,
Fitzpatrick added that he had made the
same statement in twenty different adj.
dresses in Vermont, and that it had new.
er been contradicted.
Thinking that possibly you may moi
know of the charge referred to, and thai
it is being repeated throughout Vermont
venture to inquire whether l may pub
licly contradict it upon your own author
ity. Yours Very Truly,
j. EvARTs TRACY.

Hon. E. r. HoAR.

CONCORD, Aug. 80, 1872.
j. L. TRACY, ESQ.,,
WINDSOR, VT,
DEAR SIR :-There is not word of
truth in the story about me which you
say Gen. Fitzpatrick is repeating in Yer
mont. l never made Gen. Grant pres
ent of any kind in my life. Whether
Gen. Fitzpatrick is worth contradicting,
you can judge better than l, as l know
nothing about him, except from the
newspaper reports of his speeches, and
if the truthfulness of other parts of
them is no greater than it is of those of
which | have personal knowledge, |
should think he could injure nobody's
reputation. The practical difficulty with
the traducers of the President is, that as
soon as one misstatement is exposed,
they set another a-going. Who invents
them all cannot imagine; but the sup
ply seems to be unlimited, and the ere
dulity of the Greeley orators inexhausti-
bic.
If anybody in Vermont thinks Gen.
Kilpatrick's story requires any notice,
you are at liberty to give it the most I'M
qualified denial on my part.
Very Truly Yours.
Z. r. HoAR.

WINcHEsTER, July Q, 1872.

Maj. ". J. Sykes, Columbia, Team:
DEAR SIR0On arrival home, l made
inquiry IN regard to marble and other
formations on the line of road direct
from here to Lewisburg, and find the
marble supposed to be in sufficient
quantities to supply the continent. At
one point the marble crops out with
perpendicular face of about 200 feet. 1t
extends about Is miles along Elk River,
and to a considerable distance from the
river on each side. There are twenty
seven different shades, embracing all
kinds except white and black. Your
contemplated line of road will pass
directly through the upper end of this
formation. You also pass near fine slate
beds, which will probably in the near
future be of vast Importance to the
State of Tennessee. You also tap
fine sand formation, and as you, sup
pose, are aware, you pass on the coal
road superior quarries of sand stone.
Directly west, or, perhaps, 90 or 80 south
of west, ID miles, we have in this coun-
ty coal regions not yet developed.
You will. if you come direct, or on q
straight line from Lewisburg to the
tunnel, pass through the center of the
slate regions and the upper end OF the
marble quarries, striking at Elk river
aud its tributaries very fine sand for
glass and other purposes. / look upon
the slate formations as OF much impOr-
tauce, when developed. When you
visit this county, Col. Arledge, and Col.
Estelle, the county surveyor, will &C.
company you along the line, and show
you the marble formation. Col. Estelle
says he will, with pleasure, give you
any information you may desire, if you
will let him hear from you. The coal
regions from 13 to Is miles southwest of
this point have not been developed, but
will. in all probability, be developed in
few years. Yours truly,
D. b. DUFIELD.

sex Advertisements.

The advertisement of Soule Female
College, of Murfreesboro, appears in our
paper to day. The catalogue speaks well
for the school, and. indicates how thor>
ough is the education to be obtained at
this school. Everything desirable is set
forth as being possessed by this school;
handsome building, remarkably healthy
locality, efficient teachers, moral train
ing, and kind treatment. Rev. ID. ID.
Moore, who taught male al this place
several years ago, is the president Of this
school, and judging from his catalogue,
and from observation, We think he has
school ofwhich he may well be proud,
and to WHICH parents should gladly
send their daughters.

We tender our thanks to Col. Cox, the

Growers Exposition, which will be
held at Pulaski, on the 18th, 18th, 18th,
18th, a1d 18th of August, 1872. The
hall and grounds will be open for the
reception of articles on Monday and
Tuesday, the 18th and 18th days of
August. On Tuesday evening, August
18th, the Exposition will be opened to
the public, and will continue open from
day TO day, until the 18th. We had the
pleasure of attending the Exposition at
Pulaski last year, and expressed Our
opinion at the time that it was, in the
expressive but slang language of the
times, "great success" The enter
prising managers have erected a new
and spacious building, and We expect it
to be superior to the one last year. We
are anxious for our Maury county peo-
pie to- take specimens of their fruit to
this exposition, because we think our
county can compete Mitn apy other sue
cessiully in. almost anything; and be-
cause we desire the people of the two
counties to cultivate neighborly feelings
toward one another. And then, if we
patronage their Exposition, we are quite
cure their people will bring their fine
horses, cattle, hogs, etc., to our iairi and
in this way make both enterprises pay
