ALsTEAD, N. III. "A narrow escape
from serious disaster recently occurred
at Alstead. Mr.. and Mrs. Lemuel Hun
toon of Langdon and both over so years
of age, were passing the covered bridge
when loose paper or some advertise
ment that had blown off frightened their
horse and he began to back off a bank
some thirty feet high. Mr.. Huntoon
instantly whipped up his horse which
wheeled and ran, throwing him out, and
he was dragged for some distance, when
he was obliged to let 60. The horse ran
for two miles, Mrs. I'll. keeping her seat
all the while till it was stopped by Ar
thur j. Wilson, a boy If IA. She was
not harmed though of course much
frightened. Mr.. H. was considerably
bruised but not seriously injured
The Universalist society of Alstead,
have been making thorough repairs OF
their church, newly papered, painted
and carpeted and the organ put in re-
pair that has not been used for years
also new chandelier and seat cushions.
Mr.. George Parkinson was recently
severely injured by being thrown from
his sulky, while driving in the highway
some two miles above Charlestown street
His horse was suddenly frightened al
something. He was unconcious for some
time, but is now doing well,

The Projected Enterprise.

We briefly alluded last week to the
fact that an enterprise was projected
here which, if carried out, will be of
great Importance to this place. Since
then it has assumed form, aud is now be-
ing considered by our people with much
interest. The enterprise itself is on a
much larger scale than we had at first
supposed, and consequently of so much
greater Importance.
The project is the manufacture of Al
pacca cloths, of kind and quality not
made elsewhere on this continent. The
business has been carried on with success
for the past ten years in Canada, by men
well and favorably known in this section,
and formerly of Chesterfield, N. a., and
who if they come will at the outset CON-
mand the entire confidence of our COM
munity. The amount of capital employ
ed will be some 100000. Their object
in coming here is to greatly enlarge their
business and save the import duties from
Canada. They will employ some 500
hands or more, and will erect three large
buildings, two of one hundred feet in
length and one of three hundred feet
in length and each from 40 to so feet in
width, and running $50 looms. There
are quite number of other things we
might add but which we defer till the
bird now in the bush shall be in hand.
We may say, however, that should it
come here, the population of this place
will be likely to nearly double in the
next eighteen months. The effect of all
this on the business prosperity of this
village and surrounding localities is too
apparent to be amplifed Whether it
comes here or not now depends upon our
citizens. They are asked not to give a
cent, but simply to become proprietors
in the enterprise to the amount of $50,
600, which is certainly not large sum
in working capital of SO near half a
million. The men who propose to come
here with this business will take some
$4,000 and the balance will be taken
by capitalists in Boston and New York
An impromtu meeting of over fifty Of
our citizens was held at the Island
House on Monday evening. A strong
interest prevailed, and j. d. Bridg
man, j. I'll. Williams, w. FL. johnson.
.. ID. Gray and T. G. Butler we're ap
pointed committee to solicit subscrip
tions to the stock, and in less than
twenty-four hours $4,000 was subscrib
ed. Many of moderate means have al
ready subscribed literally, while those o.
lareer wealth, including our most eau
tious men, have subscribed by the thou
sand. Among those are ]. H. Williams
W. III. johnson, o. d. Gray, Col. King
j. ID. Bridgman, w. A. Russell, owner
ner Of the mills he has built here thu
past three years, and who has really
laid the foundation for so much Of the
present prosperity of the village, ant
others. A good man from Westminster
promptly put down $500, and another
farmer of that town. put down $500.

THE FINANCIAL CRASH.

"A thousand speculations are rife, as
regards the cause Of this general and
widespread crash, which, in single
week, has convulsed the monetary world,
and produced wilder rout in money
centres than could have been expected
from even the declaration Of war between
this country and Great Britain. Begin.
ming with Jay Cooke & Co., of New
York, like the heavings Of an earth
quake, its throes have upset thousands of
Bankers, end banking institutions, and
its convulsive surgings will roll on, and
break, until thousands more, great and
small in commercial life, will be en-
gulphed in the vortex of certain ruin.-

bodings-no prccaution can avert the

IHE WIDESPREAD ALARM


Has caused many ridiculous reports
in the interior concerning the solvency
of our. banking institutions. We feel
Hafs in saying that the precaution Of the
Southern banks in checking run, is both
wise and necessary. The assets of al
most every legitimate bank in our State
cover fully the liabilities add to this the
certainty of relief which must come from
abroad, and the full cotton and rice crops
that are ready for market, and we see
far less of danger than if it was at time
when there were no crops to fall back
upon. Cotton is. gold, and will command
it to o certain extent. Our banks have
yet thirty days to hold out, and they can
do much in that time. Time and pa
tience will bring the State out of the
storm, battered perhaps, but alive.

A VISIT TO THE CAPITOL.

September is not the time when Co.

such September as is going through the
hopper of financial ruin. Yet there is a
picturesque beauty investing the city,
which renders it among the most desira-
BILE places for residence. The approach

dotted with neat cottages, and enlivened
with grazing stock, tho subdued tint Of
distant yellow hills, fringed with net
work of fencing, enclosing the browning
crops of autumn, and the dark-grcen of
the far off forest, marking the Congaree,
is not very unlike the city of Richmond.
Arriving at the depot, hubbub and
clamor, from score of hackmen inform
the traveller of as many hotels as his fas-
tidious taste may demand. Selecting
his conveyance, he jumps aboard, and
away he is whirled over the solid road

narrower than Broad Street of Charles.

quirements:

Also, stable-room and provender for at
least four head of stock and must be

JOHN A. HAMILTON, ,Agt. =
We copy the following, relative to the, Weed
Sewing machine, from the Hartford Daily
Courant, of the 10th inst:
In Yesterdays issue we announced the re-
turn home of Mr.. George A. Fairfield, super
intendent of the Weed Sewing Machine Com
pany, who has Represented that company a,
the Vienna Exposition. A personal interview
with him satisfies Us Of the justice Of the com
panys claim to the
HIGHEST HoNoKs AT VIENNA.
Mr.. +. brings with him the Official Cata-
logle of Awards at the Great Exposition, in
which his game appears as having received a
Medal for Cb-opperaton, in producing and per
fecting machines This medal is given "to
persons who,. as managers Of mannfacsefss
are.nominated on the part of the exhibitors on
account of the leading part they have taken in
the features of excellence of the productions
No other sewing machine company or rep
resentative thereof received such an award,
and this settles the point beyond dispute that
the Weed company lead the world in superb
ority of machines and in mechanical ability.
In addition to this grand award, the Weed
Company received "Mcdal for Progress" the
highest award made to any other sewing ma
chine also, a "Medal of Merit"-the third.in
the list of honor.
Thus it will be seen that tire Weed Sewing
Machine Company of this city have received
the Three Highest Awards at the Vienna Ex-
position of 1878, one Of these being superior
to any and all others issued to any exhibitor
in their line of goods.
The Weed Company also received the High
est Prize given to American Family Sewing
Machines at tho Paris Exposition of 1867
Hartford may well feel proud of this organ
ization, and also of its superintedent, who hes
achieved such credit for the company and done
honor to our city in the eyes of representatives
from every part of the world.
