A BLOODY FIGHT.-A bloody street
fight occurred in Plattsburgh last Wed
nesday, between a number of soldiers
and citizens. The engagement COM
menced on the east side of the river, and
a running fight" was kept up until the
forces reached Shermans corner, on
McComb street At this point couple
of servant girls sailed out, armed with
billets of wood and kitchen utensils, and
in the most heroic manner threw con-
fusion into the ranks of the contestants,
and put an end to the fight. The SOL
diers used bayonets, and their opponents
clubs. Joseph Cootwa, one of the citi-
zens, was badly stabbed in the side and
injured on the head John Cootwa was

Arlin gton,

One of the most severe storms passed
over here last Friday evening we have
ever seen. The rain came down in tor
rents for about two hours. and the wa
ter rushed over and through everything,
filling the cellars, carrying away bridges
and washing out the roads in every part
of the town. One small stream that
runs through East Arlington, had five or
six bridges destroyed, and all the high
ways more or less damaged. The rail
road on the first section south of here is
in a bad condition. Most of the culverts
are gone, and in many places it washed
out ten, twenty and even thirty feet
deep. We have had no mail from the
south since Monday evening, and no
urday Many of the Oldest inhabitants
say they never saw so much damage
done in so short a time.

1--WE are glad to note the thriving cond1-
ton of this company, in which SO many OF
our citizens have an interest. There Is no
reason why much larger proportion OF
the life insurance of the state, should not
be done by our own home companies
managed by men whom we all know, and
in whose honesty and capacity Vermont
ers have every reason to feel full conh-
dence."
The Darlington Democrat OF January
18th, says:
This is a home company, composed OF

support of our people. Its rates of insur-
ance are no higher than other companies,

Reecher ON Foreordina,ion,

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher's contempt
for the Cambridge confession Of Calvanism
has been no secret, and on last Sabbath
was openly expressed by him in way that
apparently "did him good.o The most
obnoxious clause in that confession ap-
peared to be the following, which the
reverend gentleman read with terrible
emphasis: BY the decree of God, and
for the manifestation Of His glory, some
men and some angels are predestinated to
everlasting ruin, and some are foreordained
to everlasting DEATH" The painfully in
tense interest with which the congregation
drank in the terrible words was hardly di-
verted by the criticism which followed it,
which was simply, "That is rather rough,
is it not ?'' He went on reading until he
came to the following: "These angels and
men, thus predestinated and foreordained,
are fixed to an unchangeable destiny /; their
number is certain and defined, and
can not be increased or diminished"
'That is what you may call a
tight fit," said the eloquent commen-
tator. Mr.. Beecher added: ''If | were
left TO choose between absolute infidelity
and atheism and the acceptance of a
God who has preordained and pre-
destinated an innumerable host of his
creatures to torments, to pains and to
eternal death, for His praise and His glory,
why, rather an accept such an internal
deity, ] would be an atheist and | would
glory therein" A murmur of suppressed
applause followed this bold pronunciamen-
to. Mr.. Beecher then turned to the SER
mons Of DR.. Binney, preached from the
same pulpit, in one of which DR.. Bmney
said that there were those sitting before
him who in the eternal ages should suffer
more of the torments of the damned than
the volume of all that was painful, all that
was dreadful to the souls then waiting in
hell. Mr.. Beecher said ''It is to being
like this that we say, Our Father Why,
if there was one soul that was predestined by
Him to such hopeless inheritance of woe,
| would say Our Fiend'-not 'Our Fa-
ther. @

any injury has been sustained in this way

still have the promise of an abundance of
all kinds of fruit"
The Fredericksburg Herald says
"We regret to learn that Mr.. Simeon Pey-
ton, of STANFORD county, had from eight
hundred to thousand cords of wood de-
stroyed by fire on Friday last. The wood

of Potomac creek, ready to be forwarded
to the Washington city market. An old
colored man was burning corn-stalks in the
vicinity, when the fire was communicated
to the cord wood. Mr.. Peyton had an in

better than nothing, but his loss is still
heavy.n r

SMALL-Pox.-It is rumored that at
least three cases of smallpox exist in this
city, in the direction or vicinity of Holly
wood. We do not know what foundation
there is for the rumor, but allude to it for
the purpose of putting our citizens as well
as the authorities upon their guard in re-
spect to this loathsome disease. Why
there should be any secrecy in regard to its
existence, if it does exist, we cannot under
stand. We hope the rumor is without
foundation in fact. Richmond has been
peculiarly exempt from the smallpox.
At no time in the history of the place, VIC
believe, has the disease existed to any
alarming extent, and we doubt if there vas
ever well-defned case within the city
limits. This exemption is attributed to the
thorough vaccination of the inhabitants.
We believe it is the universal practice
among our resident physicians to vaccinate
all infants after they have become of suffi-
cient age.
