noon last Mr.. T. S. Pritchard, who lives
about four miles from here on the GAINESVILLE
road, after dinner went out to the barn to
fodder and water his stock. He was gone
some two hours or more, and his wife hay
ing something to do at the barn, went out
and found Mr.. Pritchard lying in the barn
yard covered with snow, and inseusible
On examination it was found that his skull
was broken in over the left temple. How
he came in this condition is a mystery.
Among his stock were a number Of colts
running loose, and it is supposed that in
some manner he received a kick from one
of them. Drs. Davis and Winery dressed
the wound and took one fifteen pieces Of
bone from the skull. Mr.. Pritchard lived
until Sunday, but neEer became sensible at
any time after he was hurt.
Mr. Pritchard came from Madison Co.,
N. Y, in the spring of Is 50, and purchased
the farm where he lived until his death
His loss is deeply felt by his family who
have the sympathy of large circle CT

THE RISE IN CONFEDERATE SECURITIES
The New York Times of Thursday has
the following
sit has been common rumor for some
time that Mr.. Greeley, to still further the
chances of his election, favored the as.
sumption Of the Confederate debt by the
National Government, and would use his
influence, if elected, in turtherance of
such design. This rumor, which would
ordinarily seem incredible, receives ad-
ditional probability from the course OF
Mr.. Greeley since his nomination, and. in
fact, for some time before. He has not
only discarded his oldest friends aud sup.
porters. changed his course and that OF
his paper, but he has rushed, as if de-
mented, into the embraces of those who
few years ago would gladly have paid
price for his head. These men, wnu
are VIGOROUSLY in favor of saddling the
Confederate debt upon the country which
1t was contracted to destroy, due at h.
table, ride with him in public and con-
verse with him in secret. They are
found with him in the streets of New
York, in his residence at Chappaqua, and
Wherever his course may teod. Their,
'noy be no positive proof that Mr.. Gree
ley has promised support to these men in
the infamous design of paying debt
which was contracted to destroy us; Mr..
Greeley has grown too astute to sign hs
name to an agreement which sometime
would probably recoil upon him bur
that he has given assurances Of some kind
tending to such consummation, it seelas
reasonable to believe.
1t has been known for a few days past
to prominent bankers in Wall street that
Confederate bonds in Europe, which be.
fore Mr.. Greeley's nomination were worth
little except for waste paper, have sud.
denly attained marketable value, and
that none can be bought from parties
owning them. The bankers of London
and Frankfort claim to have received ad
vices, upon authority, that in the even,
of Mr.. Greeley's election, these bond,
will be indorsed by the United State,
Government, and be held as valid as il,
own issues. These men must have had
some ground for their faith, aud although
it may be idle rumor, yet the politca
complexion of the party supporting MIR
Greeley entities the matter to some con
sideration, The Southern politicians who
support Mr.. Greeley, and who were fore
most in the attempts to destroy the Gov
eminent few years ago, openly asser
their intentions upon this point, and a
Mr.. Greeley goes hand and glove will
them, it would not be at all strange i
the European capitalists have gooc
grounds for their confidence 10 the valu
Of Confederate securities in the event o
his election"

President Grant at Burlington.


President Grant, who has been rusti
eating for few days past at the sum
mer residence of his friend Geo. NJ.
Pullman, of Chicago, upon Alexandria
Bay, amid the Thousand Islands of the
st. | awrence, arrived at Ogdensburg,
Wednesday morning, where he receiv-
ed a cordial reception from the people
of that city. He was accompanied toy
Mrs. Grant and his sons, Lieut. Fred
I. Grant and Jesse Grant, and Gens.
sheridan and Porter. AT | p M. he
took the Directors car of the Vermont
Central railroad and proceeded to
Pittsburgh where he remained over
night, having quarters mt Fouquets
Hotel. Though but an hours notice
had been given of his coming the in
habi'ants. both Democrats and Repub-
licahs, turned out and gave the Pre-i-
dent and his distinguished companions
a large and kindly demonstration q.
welcome which the President acknowl-
edged briefly. Many persons were
presented and shook hands with him.
Upon invitation of Mayor Dodge, OF
burlington, Gent Grant visited that
city, leaving Plattsburgh mt II. m.

the AmcS reached hel dock in Burling-
ION, national salute was fired from
the battery 10y Lieut.. Flanagan's sec
ton ofartilery, and the crowds of peo-
pie who covered Central wharf sent up
cheer after cheer as Mayor Dodge step
ped on shore with the President, and
Gen. Wells with Gen. sheridan, whose
coming was entirely unexpected. The
party then took carriages and proceed
ed up College street, amid the ringing
of bells; and the crowds that filled the
sidewalks were not sparing either OF
curious looks or of hospitable cheers
Ladies filled the doors and windows of
he residences waving their handker-
chiefs, and the scene was one of aNcite-
ment and enthusiasm.
On reaching the square il seemed as If
half the population of Burlington had
turned out to honor the President.
Citizens without distinction of party
greeted him and Gen. Sheridan with
cheers and other manifestations of wei
come. The party passed through st.
Paul street to Main, through Main to
Church and up Church street to Col.

welcome, and firemen. citizens, ladies
and children, seemed to vie with each
other in the sincerity of their demon
