are any large or even small cracks in the
hubs, or any other part OF the WOODWORK, lei
all the halfdccaycd wood ana mud be re

thoroughly until hard surface Is laid bare
Let the vehicle then be taken into some clean

good boiled oil into dish, with about the
same quantity Of lacquer, into which stir
white or red lead until the mass has become
of the consistcncc Of thin putty. Let all the
cracks and open joints be filed with this ma.
terial, which will become very tough and
hard in q few days. In most instances one
can work this filling into cracks with his fin.
gcrs with more facility than with some in
,trumcnt. Such cracks are frequently filled
with melted resin, or resin mingled with lin
seed oil but the grand objection to such
material is want Of proper solidity. Resin
will answer as a filling where little or no
strength is required; but for the purpose al

AS soon as the surface is scraped and sand,

The magnificent Shah of Persia,
who is now paying his first visit to
Europe, is said to be possessed Of the
usual character of despots a mixture
of craft, violence and feebleness. He
is fo2ty-years old and has reigned
twenty-five years. He is ambitious
and so fond of conquest that he has
assumed the surname Of The Victori-
Gus. Like all autocrats, he puts no
value on human life when vengeance
or policy demands victories. Some
years ago, four fanatical members of
apowerful and numerous religious sect
known as "Babs" attempted to assas-
sinate him, but failed in their design.
The monarch's revenge was trouble.
The offending sect was prosecuted
and slaughtered every where, and
thousands upon thousands were tor
tured to death in the most frightful
manner until it was thought that all
of that faith were drowned in blood.
But, as in all similar cases of indis-
criminate cruelty, the prescribed sect
has arisen again, and now assumes a
power that threatens danger to the
Empire during the Shah's absence.
The Babs believe in the "Vendetta"
as heartily as the Corsicans, and it is
possible that the Shah may yet have
reason to regret his mistake in hold
ing great part of his subjects re-
sponsible for the acts of few Of it's
members.-BoSton Daily Nee0s.

Rutland, on Saturday, in town
meeting, couldn't agree as to the
amount of tax necessary to defray
the current expenses Of the year, and
so agreed not to tax at all, and so
for lack Of appropriations Rutland
will try living without police, watch

The recent proclamation of Presi-
dent Grant, in relation to the troubles
in Louisiana, calls forth response
from Governor McEnery, andthe con-
test for the GOvernorship is practi-
cslly abandoned by him and his sup
porters.
The address of Gov. McEnery sets
forth that as the President has rcsolv-
ed, at all hazards and at all costs, to
sustain by the military arm of the
nation the present usurpation of the
State Government, further resistance
will prove barren of useful or practi-
cal results, while the Presidents proc
laination will speedily repress any
threatened outbreak in any part of
the State,

TEACHERS, INsTITUTE.-The Teach
err, Institute for Essex County, will
commence its session at Gnildhall on
the 9Th inst. 1t will be under the iu-
mediate supervision of our able Sec
rotary of the Boatd of Education, DIR.
John ii. French. He will be assisted
by c. b. Stetson, an able instructor in,
drawing, Miss II. L. d. Potter, an
experienced teacher, and accomplish
ed elocutionist, as well as by 4 Pro-
fessor of Pennmansmp, and other in
structors. There will also he pub
lie free lecture each evening. Our
Institutes are this year conducted
upon a new plan, based upon the just
experience of our Secretary, and his
corps of teachers. They in point of
facts, rival by far the Institutes of
previous years in the amount ofinter-
est, and we trust Essex County teach
ers will'see that in point of attendance
they are not behind other counties.
The law provides that all teachers
can attend the institute without loss
of time, as their pay goes on just the
same as though they were at the school
room, and the ideas of value that they
will be able to impart upon their re-
turn will more than compensate their
schools for the loss of few days
from Their term. We learn that
board will be furnished free to all
teachers.

States in the Union by decorating
the graves of the fallen heroes who
gave their lives to their country in
the war of the rebellion. In most of

ceremonies varied much in different 10.

The Indian Aid Associations of New
York has issued a programme for the
prevention of future Indian wars.
Like many other fanatical associations
it can see but one side, and presup-
poses that all 'aggresslons are COM
mitted by the whites upon the poor
red men. The programme says:
Let the President give notice that
it is a penal offense for white men to
squat upon or even to travel over In
dian lands without license, and order
the removal Of all squatters from such
lands.
AS most of our Indian wars result
from aggressions beyond the reach of
the military, let notice be given that
hereafter any parties found trespassing
upon Indians or thier lands shall be
subject to arrest by the agent, or Indi-
ans deputizcd by him, and punished
according to thier laws, or turned over
to the United States for punishment,
and the agents certificate Of the ma
ture of the otfense shall be taken as
final and sufficient testimony to secure
the legal punishment Of the accused.
Our Indian population is now about
100000. We estimate that 200, 900
would be on or within reach of hostile
ground in case ola general Indian war.
At least 100000 would engage in CON-
bat. Any great injustice done to one
tribe Is soon known from Hudson Bay
to Buenos Ayres, and should the NO
docs be exterminated we believe it not
only possible but highly probable that
a more expensive and sanguinary war
will ensue than we have ever yet had
with the Indians. If the expenditure
of 81, 100000 and ten years of wal
failed to subjugate from 500 to 1000
Seminoles (until the resort to blood
hounds and treachery) who fought
mainly with arrows, how much viii
our national debt be when we have
subjugated over 100000, combating
mostly with firearms? Or, ifit'has al
ready cost s3,O0o,o0O to begin the
war with 81 Modoc warriors, how
much will it cost to finish it? A
general war would doubtless add 81
per cent. to our national debt, the
mutterings Of which war we already
hear from different tribes from Cana
da to Chill.

Much trouble is had on the Mexl-
can frontier by reason Of foraging
parties coming over to steal and plum
der from the United States citizens.
Fears of war with the Mexican
Government on account of the trouble
are INDUCED by many. The Mexi-
can Minister, however, charges the
: crimes upon the KickHpoo Indians
and anticipates no trouble between
the two countries.

CONGRATULATORY.

We desire to respectfully offer our
hearty congratulations to the "Ring"
which owns and controls the Coos Re
pHblicGn for the much improved ap-
pearanCe of that sheet consequent
upon the adoption of "Nomadic hab-
its" and "patent outsides," True il
is that they will now supply their pat
rons with, at least, an outside edited
with ability and containing a variety
= of matter really interesting, enter
tanning and instructive. While it will
lose its distinctive feature as "locap
paper 1t viii gain in interest and real
merit more than sufficient to balance
that loss. When the managers of the
Republican so violently and injustly
assailed the HERALD, for the only rea-
son that it was conducted on the plan
they now adopt, they doubtless knew
nothing of that plan, and did not I'M
derstand the advantages of it. I'm
auestionably the increasing list and
growing popularity of the HERALD,
had much influence in leading them to
take this course to improve the APP
pearance and extend the circulation OF
the Republican. Heretofore we have
constantly sent copy of the HERALD
to the office of the Rings Organ in
the way Of exchange, but have never
received the Republican; we have
continued4o send,the1n the HERALr
as free gift, and as we considered
the Republican Of no particular ac
count, have never called their atten
ton to the fact that they had neglect
ed to send it in exchange. We now
think it worth having, for the outside
and advertisements, and therefore
call the attention of the managing
tool of the Ring to the fact that w
have not heretofore received it. w,
deprecate the spirit of the Gozett
which led it to publish an obituar,
notice of the decease of theRepu6lican
and hope that in the next number O
that paper the matter will be fully ex
planned, as many by reading the NO
tice, might suppose that Republican
had ceased entirely, while in fact
has but added to its previous goo
points "nomadlc habits" and reada
BILE outside matter. We are more anx
ious that the Gazette should make thl
explanation, as, otherwise many indi
viduals might never discover the erro
into which the obituary notice had LEI
them, and always believe that tn
Republican was gone "where tn
woodbine twineth."
