GEN. HOWARD AND THE FREEDMEN's b.
REAU.-Gen. o. o. Howard authorizes the pub
LEGATION of statement relative to his connec
ton with the Freedmen's Buregu, which in
substance is as follows: That in the transfer
of papers from the Freedmen's Bureau Office to
the War Department some important papers
were probably lost; that the Secretary of War
has confidence in the personal integrity of Gen.
Howard, whichscannot be disturbed exceptiby
the clearest proof; that since doubts existed re-
gardlng the legal responsibility of Gen. How
ard for the acts of his subordnates, the Secre-
tary of War has asked the Attorney General
the following questions: First, if the guilty
parties cannot be successfully prosecuted what
course shall the War Department pursue? I'd,
when prosecution is not barred by the statute
of limitations what action should he taken? Sd,
to what extent are Gen. Howard and his chief
discussing officer responsible? The reply to
these questions has not been giuen. 1t is fur
Their stated that Howard filed a bond when it
became necessary for him to personally receive
and disburse the fund, which bond is on file
PROSPECTS OF THE Coal TRADE-The
Philadelphia Ledger says: Although it is ap-
parent that the coal consumption of our current
year will not be as large as estimated by proba-
bly, million of tons, it is also evident that the
production will not be permitted to overstock
the market, and thus to depress prices. The
NEST intelligent in the trade are confident that
coal will not be laid in this gear at lower prices
than those ruling for the month of July At
Port Richmond for the week ending with the
2Sth of June, the receipts of coal were s. tons,
and the shipments 10000 tons, leaving 105, 900
tons on hand. Vessels are in fair supply, and
freights, in the main, unchangd at $1.25 to
New York and 50 to Providence, and $3.50 to
Boston
The Portland daily press., 1873-07-02

such papers as Mr.. Hobbs sent and such let
tiers as Mr.. Bureigh received from Looney's
friends and then reported that Mr.. Hobbs and
his son, the one a twenty years resident OF
Washington and the other living there from
childhood, have ''shown prima facie evi-
dence of residence in North Berwick"
OF course Mr.. Burleigh could do no other
wise than accept the decision OF the Commit
tee and appoint the young man designated.
1t may be that our interest in young Loon
ey, who has gained our regard by several
years of faithful and efficient service, and his
manly character, have made us unduly his par
tizans. but we believe that the average sense
of the First District in which we have all
faith, will decide with us that Mr.. Frank L.
Hobbs of Washington, and not of North Ber-
wick, has been appointed to West Point.
We are, however, pleased to announce that
in view of the excellent examination passed
by Looney and his good character, MI. Bur-
leigh will appoint him to the Naval Academy
in March, to enter the class of 1874, the same
time that his competitor enters at West
Point.

EXERCISES AT THE WILLOWS.
Pennington, June 30th, 1878.
The school for young ladies at the Willows
closes its spring term tomorrow with public ex-
animation at the school room, and the exercises
no doubt, will be witnessed by many of our cit
liens. This evening we had the pleasure of be-
ing present at ''soiree musicale given by the
pupils. The mansion was profuselys decorated
with evergreens and flowers, as was also the
schoolroom. One decoration particularly should
be noticed; On entering the front door, one was
greeted by the sight of a fine arch composed en-
tirely OF evergreens. and little farther on were
the words ''welcome to the Willows" formed
of evergreen and were so arranged as to leave
enc to imagine them suspended in mid air. Be-
side the evergreen rope twined round the school
room, was huge vase of rare flowers on the
platform, and another filled with ferns, remind
ing one of the tropics. The following program
me was rendered:

SAD DEATH.
Mrs. Pierpont of Livermore Falls, came to
her death Friday of last week, very suddenly.
of late years she has been greatly troubled with
neuralgia, and has been obliged to use NOR
phine to quiet the pain. The morning of her
death she arose as usual, got breakfast. and
then went into an adjoining room, where she
was found about 10 CLOCK, in a state of stupor.
Two physicians were Immediately summoned,
and everything possible dore to revive her, but
without success. 1t is supposed she by mistake
took an over dose of the morphine, resulting in
her death at 4 p. m. JACK.

An Oxford Town.

Denmark. June 30, 1878.
To the Edctor OF the Pre.S:-Whil9 now ard
then your valuable paper contains sketches of
business and improvements being made in diff
ferent towns in Oxford County, hoped that
the "knight of the quilp' would not overlook
our old town of Denmark, planted as it is
among the sturdy hills of West Oxford; town
not without interest to many here, and to large
numbers who have gone from us and are scat
tered throughout the States. We are modestly
doing our little in the great business Of life as
the following will show. Among our stirring
business men is G. o. Pendexter, who repre-
scented this district in the last legislature, cloth
ing manufacturer, who employs about twenty
girls in his shop, and givel employment to at
least one hundred more. who take their work to
their own homes. j. c.. Dodge also employs
about the same number When you remember
that the two houses gives employment to two
hundred and fifty women in their immediate
vicinity, that the goods principally sent here
from Boston, via the p & o. railroad, then re-
turned after the garments made up, you
will see that these two men add in no mean
way to the business of the place. Then we
have Dean & SanbOrns saw, grist and staye
mill, lately put in trst-rate order, and stave,
Single and clapboard machine owned by Au-
gustine Ingalls,. A. S. Potter & Co., are thor
oughy regfting the "Watson Mill and putting
lash a6aa fnds for the ma g Of d49rs
build new stone mill at the outlet of Clifford s
Pond, the dam and foundation being already
laid. Thus we take our place with our sister
towns in doing little to add to the material
prosperity of this section.
