A TOUCHING INCIDENTAL short time
since, in this city, brilliant and much
admired lady, who had been suffering
for some time with trouble Of the eyes,
was led to fear speedy change for the
worse, and Immediately consulted her
physician. An examination discovered
sudden and fatal failing in the optic
nerve, and the information was impaired
as gently as possible, that the patient
could not retain her sight more than a
few days at most, and was liable to be
totally deprived of it any moment. The
afflicted mother returned to her home,
quietly made such arrangements as would
occur TO any one about to commence so
dark journey of life, and then her two
little children, attired in their brightest
and sweetest costumes, brought before
her and so, with their little faces lifted
to hers, and tears gathering for somt
great misfortune that they hardly rea
lied, the light faded out of the mother
eyes, leaving an ineifaceble picture o
those dearest to her on earth-a memoir,
of bright faces that viii console her il

The New Postal Law.

In the matter of letter postage there is
very little change in the new postal
law which takes effect on the first of Ju-
ly. 1t was just here where Congress had
the power to have done the public the
most good by giving them cheaper letter
postage, and all that was done was sim
ply to give them small piece OF poor
card board valued at one cent, provided
they write brief and open message.
On the other hand they actually raised
postage on periodicals by making charges
where none were made before. For some
quarter of century the people have
been allowed to receive free their own
county papers and publishers we're al
lowed free exchange. We remember
well with how much favor it was receiv-
ed at the time and regarded as step IN
the interest of intelligence and education.
If that was true then, the present is one
in favor of ignorance. On and after
July 1st the people are to pay the petty
tax of twenty cents year on their coun-
ty paper, and if they like it, very well.
If it would pay quater part OF the
"back pay grab" it would be some
thing, but it does not, and if it did, it
would not help that Infamous transac-
ton.
The abolition of the entire Thanking
privilege in all government departments,
is another piece of foolishness which
we are sure only the last Congress were
capable of perpetrating. Heretofore q
postmaster, and the same in other de
partments of government service, would
frank all official documents, and which
of itself was hardly any expense TO the
government. Now the government are
to be to the expense of the manufacture
and furnishing of stamps for all officia
correspondence and the postmaster o.
other official who is dishonest enough t.
misuse his frank, will have no scruple
in using the stamps to be so kindly fur
nished. A very large amount of tn
talk about the franking privilege ha
been the mere political clap trap got u
by scheming politicians as a dodge t
carry the people who are now to b
taxed for their official stamps, and
pay congressman their extra grab, an
we are mistaken if on the assembling
the next Congress an early and success
full effort is not made to repeal the oil
noxious measures we have briefly alluC
ed to above.
Certainly the republican party wi
not attempt to carry the congressioni
load Of last winter unless they inten
suicide. No Congress ever closed its !;
bors with such hateful odor. Instea
of giving us cheaper postage, they hay
practically increased it. Instead of tt
principle of free schools" of which v
have so much boosted, they have loadt
it with taxation. The people in no part
the country have ever complained OF Z
free transmission of their county pape
They never asked for the repeal of t
law permitting it, and its repeal was
mere trick of an odious congress, a
those members who in any way ha
promoted these iniquities, we trust are d
tined to speedy and immediate politi,
death.

THE GRAIN PROSPECT re-
ceived at Washington from the grain
growing districts of the Middle and
Western States report that the area of
land planted in wheat is larger than
ever before, and that the crop is promis-
ing, the only thing to be feared being
wet weather before harvest time, which
will beat down the grain.

BELLOWS FALLS, MAY 80, 1873.

Theirs resigned as President of the
French republic last week, and McMahon
was elected in his place. The change
produced much excitement, but there was
no disorder and quiet prevails. Mac
Mahon's cabinet are conservative, and
the change does not indicate any mate
rial advance in republican ideas at least,
and indeed it would be difficult to tell
what the tendency of any change in
French politics would be.

The MARKET is flooded with Bitters,

recipe, which contains no spirit, and
parties desiring a real tonic for spring or

to choose. The SoNoMA WINE BITTERs
are made of the choicest wine, roots, and

their purity. Ladies and children use

The MOdOc War.
SURRENDER OF A FEW MoDocs.

Inc MOuOC war;
SURRENDER OF A FEW MoDoCs.
The Modocs have been sorely pressed
of late by the troops. and disaffection
broke out among themselves after their
last fight, as it appears that Capt. Jack,
in order to uphold their failing courage,
told them he had consulted the oracle,
or something else, and that their bodies
would shed the bullets of the soldiers
like leaves. Inspired by this supernatu-
raj power, they believed it in full till
they arrived where the bullets began to
penetrate their bodies with fatal effect,
when faith in that kind of theology and
Capt. Jack gave out at the same time.
Some squaws captured by our forces re-
ported that the Hot Creek band of the
Modocs were ready to surrender but
wanted to have a "peace talk" Gen.
Davis informed them that they desired
no peace talk, but would allow them to
surrender if they wished, and that
they might go and tell them SO or not as
they wished.
Accordingly on the 22d inst, "here
they come" was the cry that startled the
camp, and it brought every person. citi-
zen and soldier, old and young, on his
feet, hurrying forward to the crest of
the hill west of the camp.
The possession was slowly creeping
along in this direction. First came Mr..
Blair, manager of Fairchild's ranch so
yards behind him came Fairchild and
further still, Modoc bucks with their
squaws and papooses. Never did process
ion move more slowly. The few ponies
ridden by the Modocs were gaunt, and
seemed scarcely able to bear the women
and children who were literally piled
upon them. Among the bucks were Bo-
gus Charlie, Steamboat Frank, Curly
Headed Doctor and others of lesser note.
They were dressed in motley CARDS, nearly
all of them wearing portion of the
dress of the regular army. Every buck
carried Springfield rife. The women
were dressed in clothes that had evident.
ly been used within the confines of civil
ization. All o. them entered camp at q
funeral pace. The noise and hustle
among the soldiers was hushed, and few
words were spoken. The Modocs said
nothing No one approached them un
til Gen. Davis came forward. He me-
the procession so PAGES from the house
and was met by Bogus Charley. The
scamp smiled sweetly on the general anC
shook his hand, and then all the leading
warriors came forward and greeted hin
cordially. Then every buck laid his CUR
beside him and awaited orders. Gen
Davis said, "Give up your pistols and
all your other arms" Each Modoc sale
he had no arms. "Then," said the gen.
eral, /" l will give you camp where you
can remain, tonight, and if you try tt
escape, you will be shot down" The or
der was explained, and all promised ODE
dience. The procession then moved
across Cottonwood creek to clump o
trees. AT this point stragglers came in
There were half naked children, an ageC

men and children; y bucks, 20 squaw
and their children. Mr.. Fairchild say
there are 20 bucks missing from the Cot
tonwood branch of the tribe. Bogu
Charley said that Boston Charley ha'

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY IN BROOKLYN.
- During an alteration in Brooklyn,
last Sunday evening, between young
man named George Rodrick and James
Corcorap, in which the latter was very
abusive and struck the former, Rodrick
and Corcoran both drew pistols. Mrs.
Rodrick, mother of the former, rushed
between them, and, in the struggle to
prevent her son from firing his pistol, it
went off, the ball passing through his
mothers eye into her brain, killing her
instantly. Corcoran and Roderick were
arrested. Corooran, who began the
quarrel, was intoxicated.
