EDITOR WEEKLY MIRROR :-DEAR SIR =
BY the New York papers last week it was
announced that at one of the theatres in
that city there was a pageant of some sort ex-
hibited. During the Performance likeness
of U. S. Grant was presented TO the audience,
in some part of the performances with croon
on his head. What does that mean? Is it
part of the scheme to fainiharize tile people
with the idea of Grant Radical-Negro mon
arch in this country, so that when the Napol-
comic coup d e'tot comes at Washington, Or
during the Centennial exhibition, the people
willnot be startled into open defiance ? Let
the laboring classes keep sharp lookout on
Grants Radical supporters, or else they will
enslave them as the poor -trodden labor
ers of Europe are now under monarchy. 1t
is time for the hard-fisted men to be prepared
for the emergency. The /" Minute Men" of
the Revolutionary days must organize again.

ted to the Pastora very handsome gold watch,
and to his wife a generous sum of money from
the ladies. So quietly had all been arranged
that the recipients of this kindness were COM

head. 1t is therefore matter of qualification
that our people are taking quite an interest in
this article, and that it is being dealt out quite
hoerally. One day last week an agent for a
soap manufacturer drove his wagon through
our streets and presented every family with a

lowing poster in the window of one of our
business houses, which indicates that some of
our citizens are anxious to push on the pro-

FouND.-The father of VIM Ii. Force of
Pennington, formerly of New Hope,) disap-
peared about three years ago, and although 4
reward of 800 was offered by the son, moth
ing could be learned respecting him. If the
following from the Doylestown Democrat, is
true, he has now been heard from - III
1t will he recollected that about three years
ago, William ii. Force,-formerly of Bucks
county, disappeared rather nysteriously. He
had been to New York to sell some horses,
and it was supposed at the time that he had
been robbed Of all his money, and then muir
dered. Diligent search was made at the time
for his body, or information concerning him,
but no trace could be found. Not long since,
u gentleman from New Jersey, acquainted
with Mr. Force, met him face to face in Cal
ifornia, and there wasymutuals recognition and
n conversation. Whether the reason for his
leaving home was given we have not been i'll
formed. Mr.. Force however, was alive and
well at the latest advices.

received the compliment on the day Of the
Grand Review, of being the most soldicrly of
the entire command.
The reception at Congress Hall, OH We'd
nesday evening, was attended by all the Off
GERS of the Regiment. 1t was grand affair,
aud only excelled by the brilliant display on
Thursday evening, at the Stockton House,
On this occasion, McClurgs Band lead the
Grand March, followed by Gov. Parker and
Staff, Genl. Mott and Staff, and Gcnl. Sewell
and staff. Then came the officers OF the It'll
Rect., escorted by the Committee of arrange
ments, to whom We award great credit and
many thanks for attentions given us. The
brilliant uniform of officers, intcrmingled with
the rich dress and fair faces of the ladies, to-

before witnessed in this city.

In behalf of the 7th Regt. our Major Stratton,
of Mount Holly, responded in some very happy
remarks. Col Angel, also, in few words,
stated his appreciation of the compliment paid
to him and his command, saying this was the
first time he and his command had ever been

INToXICATIoN NO ExCUsE.-lt appears now
to be an established principle in our courts
and it ought to be better understood, that
the brutalizing of ones self by Intoxicating
liquor is no valid plea for the commission OF
crime. If it were allowed as an excuse, and
a ground of exemption, then all that rufians
would have to do before committing murder
or highway robbery. or any other crime,
would be to supply their sensibilities with
drink and the law would not hold them re.
sponsible for the offense.
The plea was never urged with more per-
sistency than in the case of Foster, but the
courts all set it aside. On the very day that
Foster was executed, two young ruffians were
arraigned before Judge Brady for an assault
committed on citizen on the Sunday night
previous. Their counsel admitted the
offensc, but pleaded among other things
that they were under the influence O!
liquor, ard did not know what they were
about. Judge Brady said be certainly
should not pay the slightest attention to any
pea OF intOxicatiOn," and sentenced them
each to fifteen years at hard labor in the
State Prison. He said, moreover, that if
he had that seller OF the liquor before him,
he should deal with him in che most severe
N amer the law allowed.-N. Y. Observer.
At recent session of the Rutland County
Court, Judge Wheeler of this State took
precisely the same ground in passing sentence
upon some young men for rowdyism and un-
seemly acts. These decisions show a healthy
growth of public opinion, as we'll as ar
advance in judicial decisions, and can bu {
result in greater security to life and property

SUDDEN DEATH IN WATERBURY.-We re-
greet to learn of the sudden death, Monday
night, of JOHN D. SMITH, Esq, of Waterbury
Centre. We have few particulars, death
coming to him almost instantaneously as he
was lying in his bed. Mr.. Smith has been
prominent and leading citizen of Water
bury for many years, holding various town
offices, for which position he was peculiarly
fitted. and always dischsrsing the trusts re
posed In him to the satisfaction OF his towns
men. He was favorably known throughout
the county. and his sudden summons to Law
off the cares and burdens of this Ii e will be
as much regretted by our people a, it was
unexpected by them. He has been the eff.
Gent and trusted town clerk of Waterbury
for many years, holding the Office OF clerk
more consecutive years, we think, than any
other man in this section, with perhaps the
exception of DR.. Kingsley, of Moretown, and
possibly Mr.. Holden, of Middlese1. His age
was As years.
CAPT. NATHAN FAR. prominent citizen of
Richmond, has just deceased. lie was a
worthy and respected man, ard enjoyed the
fullest confidence of his townsmen. He rep-
resented Richmond in 1929, 1880, 1854 and
lS45, and for twenty years had been one of
the selectmen. and Justice of the peace for
thirty years. He had lived long and well.
and went down to the grave, like shock of
corn fully ripe.

Important to Vermont Soldiers.

Hon. John A. Page, the capable and eff
cient State Treasurer, has just issued PAM
phlet of 40 pages, containing complete
and accurate statement of the amount due
from the State to each soldier from Vermont
who was engaged in the late war for the

besides giving the company, regiment, and
name of each soldier having balances re-
naming in the State Treasury, it designates
whether that balance is on account of extra
] State pay, allotted United States pay, or for
interest on allotted pay. The pamphlet con-
| cains the names of over three thousand SOL
der, and the sums due them vary from 46
cents up to 1862. 90. 1t must have been an
| almost Hercule-n task to 60 over the entire
rolls of the seventeen infantry regiments,
the cavalry regiments, the sharp shooters
aud the several batteries, to pick out and
prepare for publication the list We have now
before US. Yet, the indefaeigable Treasurer

vast labor, but from circumstances coming
under our own observation, we have no hesi-
sation in saying 1t has been well done, and
the statements embraced in this pamphlet
eau he relied upon as just to the State and
to the soldiers. The Importance and value
Of the publication can hardly be overesti-

just what thousands are anxious to know,
and that which it would take weeks to as
certain in any other way.
Ia this connection it is deemed proper to

make this publication as nearly correct as pos.

General for such Information as the records

that General Peck, with his accustomed
courtesy, promptly fur nished the facts called
for, though it involved many days of labori-
Gus work in examining records and noting
such matters as the Treasurer desired.

town, city and county clerk in the State, to
be kept on file in the offices of those officials
for the inspection of all persons, whether
soldiers or the representatives of soldiers.
We trust the press of the State and all per
sons concerned will aid in carrying out the
plan proposed by the publication of this
book: that of bringing to the notice of for

ATKINS RoosrERs.-A good friend In
Barre writes US a long communication, most
afectionately inquiring after the health oil
the Argus roosters since the editorial light.
We cannot publish the letter, because our
brother editor might consider it personal,
and 90 for u.s. and it is so desirable for
brethren to dwell together in unity. Our
Barre friend suggests that the editor trots
out his ROSTERS, or drags them out, if they
are not in a dying condition, even if it be
on their backs, with their. spurs elevated In
mid air. We are, however, happy to in
form our correspondent that we understand
the birds are all right, and are fated to ap-
pear in the Argus this week, to give slckly
crow over the Connecticut election.
1t has been hard year for democratic
BOOSTERS, and the diet they have been COM
PEELED to subsist upon causes all the ''crow'
to stick in their gizzards. But if there are
any veteran cocks that have outllved this dis
heartening period and can still clap tbeil
wings jubilantly, their owners may congrat
ulate themselves on having crop OF roosterc
on hand for eternity. Nothing short of Ga
briel's trump and the crack of doom car
bring to confusion and destruction demo
cratic rooster which wasn't clean gone for
ever under the disastrous rout of combined
democracy and liberalism last November
