ject to our publishing such a contemp-
tible sheet as you represent the first
number of the HERALD 10 have been.
Evidently you think we are presump-
tuous in offering our sheet to the pub
lie. Perhaps it is presumption for
Essex County to noUrish any enter
prise which shall free her from the
dictation of the Association" in her
local politics and her court business,
but we fail to see it as yet.
Now, then, gentlemen, let us put
one question, and we close. Is the
paper on which your varied assert.
ment Of locals and other matter is
printed manufactured in Lancaster
and if not, does that render your
sheet nomadic! Were your type, and
press, and ink, manufactured in your
own town? If not, are they proper
implements to be used in The printing
Of local paper?

METEOROLOGICAL.

The following report of the wealth
er for the past year, prepared by DR..
Ii. A. Cutting Of Lunenburg, our
State Geologist and reporter of the
Smithsonian Institute, will be read
with interest:
The year has been remarkable for
its great heat and cold, as we'll as for
the amount of snow and rain. l have
kept a full record of atmospheric
changes for twenty five years, and
shall compare this year with my past
observations in round numbers, omit
ting fractions of degrees or inches.
The amount Of rain for 1872, including
also melted snow, was s.xty-one in
ches. In 1915 it was only thirty-three
inches in 1861 it was fifty-seven i'll
ches. This is the next largest rain
fall for the twenty-five years. The
average amount for this period has
been forty-onc inches. The fall Of
snow this winter to Jan. LIST, has been
seventy-two inches. The whole snow
fall for the winter Of 1865, and '66,
was forty inches, which is the smallest
amount for tie time spoken of. The
aver age was seventy-nine inches. The
number of fair days for the past yeal
was forty-fve, a less number than il
any year since l have kept record o.
them. Ithas stormed on one hundred
and eighty days, while the average
number Of stormy is one hundred and
twenty. The greatest rain fall fol
the whole time in any one month was
last August, being about thirteen in
ches. AS regards temperature the
last week in June was the warmest
week for ten years. The sixteenth
day of July was excessively hot, the
thermometer here reaching ninety
eight and over one hundred deg. il
some localities, while on the morning
of Dec. twenty-fifth the Smithsonian
standard spirit thermometer register
ed forty-five degrees below zero at this
place, while reliable thermometers OIL
the Connecticut river in Lancaster
N. H., were fifty degrees below. This
is at least five degrees lower thar
ever known before in this section.
A range ofone hundred fifty degrees
in temperature is rare thing in amy
climate and this, as well as the pecu
liar changes and great amount of rain
and snow during the year, will be re.
membered as the remarkable year o
1872, and future generations viii
doubtless refer to it as without prece
dent.

of the Mohawk river, near its ingress
into the Connecticut. 1t was barely
large enough to admit one person at
time. This passage terminated in
a lodging room, the bottom Of which
was covered with leaves. The en-
trance to this novel .habitation was
concealed by bushes, which hung over
it from the bank above. The wary
occupants usually retired to their
lodging in the dusk of the evening,
and left it before light in the morn
ing. They waded down the stream
for distance, so that no path or
footsteps should lead TO their dis
covery.
Up the Mohawk, toward what is
now called Dixville Notch, they found
small pond formed by a dam built
Of poles and mud, and on the shore
were quite a number of cOnical little
mud domiciIes, full of various apart
ments opening only into the water.
In these the frightened beavers took
refuge. 1t seemed cruel to destroy
the habitations of these almost hall
human and Industrious villagers.
But such thoughts never entered the
heads of the hunters, who were sue
cessful in getting a sled load of furs,
which they fastened to draw on the
early snow, to the "down country

PIONEERS OF THE Coos VALLEYS
Coos, in extent of territory, is lar

est of the ten counties of New Hamp-

fertile tracts of interval, but most OF
the mountainous region must remain
uncuItivated. A century ago the first
settlers came up the Connecticut val
ley, building their remotest cabins on
the margin of the Colebrook meadows.
Twenty years earlier the town was

THE CREDIT MOBILIER.

The investigation of the charges
against certain prominent Congress
men and other high government Off
Gals, in connection with the Credit
Mobilier, SO called, continues to en-
gage the attention of the public. The
investigation is now public, and the
apparent intention Of the committee
is to sift these charges to the bottom
and fully expose any and all of the
corruptionists as we'll as to vindicate
the good name of the innocent. In
this view, and this alone, the country
ought to support the Committee. Let
exact justice be done the accused.
If unprincipled men, through the in
fuence and in the name of the Re-
publican Party have attained to high
places Of trust, and upon being tried
are found wanting in ability or hon
esty, let them meet the merited re-
proof which their dishonesty or in
ability demands. No Party or per-
son can always avoid deception,
among the twelve apostles there was
q Judas. That unworthy men attain
high places in any organization or
party, is no argument against that
party if after their unworthiness is
made clear by proof, they are retained,
the case is changed and their acts are
tacitly Endorsed by their associates.
The attitude Of the leading Republi-
can Congressman in this matter in
dictates the feeling of the masses of
that party.
The vote making the sessions of
the investigation Committee public
shows the general desire that the peo-
pie may not be misled in their Judge
inent of the accused, The organiza-
ton of that committee shows it to be
10 make-believe association or organ
ization for whitewashing furnished
political regulations. The readiness
with which all calls Of the people, OF
any respectable number Of them, for
investigation of the actions of any
Government official have been ans.
wered, shows the desire of the admin.
istration party to secure to the PEG.
pie their rights, and to the govern.
ment honest and faithful officials, anC
is guaranty to the people Of honesty
and good faith in the administration
of the government.

New Investigating Committee.

Mr.. Wilson of Indiana, on the 9th
inst, introduced a resolution provid-
ing for the appointment Of commit
tee of five Members, by the Speaker
Of the House Of Representatives to
inquire further with regard to the
Credit Mobilier Association, the
Union Pacific Railroad Company,
and the connection of United States
officers and Members of Congress
Herewith, together with various other
duties. The resolution is as follows,
and was passed without a dissenting
vote:
Reso5ved, That select committee
Of five members of this House be APP
pointed by the speaker, and such
committee be, and is hereby instructed
to inquire whether or not any person
connected with the organization or
association commonly known as Credit
Mobiler, now holds any Of the bonds
of the Union Pacific Railroad Co., for
the payment Of which, or the interest
thereon, the United States is in any
way liable and whether or not such
holders, if any, or their assignees, of
such bonds are holders in good faith
and for value, or procured the same
illegally or by fraud; and whether or
not the United States may properly re-
fuse to pay interest thereon, or the
principal thereof when the same shall
become due; and whether or not any
REIMBURSEMENT Of first mortgage lien
that luay have heretofore been made
by the United States with reference
to the bonds of said railroad company
may be set aside and to enquire into
the character and purpose of such or
ganization, and what officers of the
United States or members Of Congress
have at any time been connected
Herewith, what connection it had with
the contracts for the construction OF
said Union Pacific Railroad Company
and to report the facts to this House
together with such bill as maybe nee
essary to protect the interests of the
United States on account of any oil
the bonds of the class hereinbefore re.
ferred to and said committee is au.
thorized to send for persons and pa
pers, and to report at any time.
Messrs. Wilson of Indiana, Shella.
barger of Ohio, Hoar of Massachu
sets, Swan Of Maryland and Slocun
Of New York, compose the commit
tee. The former WAS authorized, by
the resolution constituting it, to in
quire only as to the corrupting inhu
ence of the Credit Mobilier Company
or any other corporation upon Mem
bers of Congress. The latter ha
the general interests of the United
. States in its keeping, so far as TIL
bonds issued to the Union Pacifi
Railroad are concerned. The inves
tigation is to commence at once.

to a former trial by the prosecution ;
in not admitting an offer to show that
the prisoner was anxious to disclose
his defence before the coroner'sinquest,

assumed, but the friends of Mr.. Viii

ity and freedom from any stain like

hope, in the event of { hard contest
between Boutwell, and Dawes, to elect
Mh Whiting. Another compromise
