SURRENDER OF CAPT. JACK WITH THE RE
MAINDER OF HIS BAND.

SURRENDER OF CAPT. JACK WITH THE RE
MAINDER OF HIS BAND.
A dispatch from San Francisco announ-
ces the capture of the famous Modoc chief
tain and the remainder of his band. The
particulars are as follows: Sunday morn
ing the troops at the camp in LangelPs val
ley were divided into several parties and
sent in scouts after Capt. Jack and the re-
naming Modocs who escaped two nights
before by fleeing down the canon at Willow
creek. About half-past ten, Sunday morn
ing, the command of Col. Perry with the
Warm Spring Indian scouts struck trail,
and, after brief search the Modocs were
discovered. Col. Perry surrounded the In
dian retreat. His men were bound TO fight.
Suddenly Modoc shot out from the rocks
with white flag. He met Warm Spring
and said that Captain Jack wanted TO sur
render. Three scouts were sent to meet
Captain Jack. He came out cautiously,
glanced about him moment, then, as If
giving up all hopes, came forward and
saluted his visitors. Then two of his war
riors, five squaws and seven children dart
ed forth and Joined him in the surrender.
HOW THE CAPTURED MoDocs LOOK.
The captured Modocs were tho objects of
close scrutiny by the soldiers as they came
into camp, and their every movement was
closely watched.
Captain Jack is described as about 40
years old. He is five feet eight inches high
and compactly built. He has large and
well-formed face, full of individuality. AL
though dressed in old clothes, he looks ev
cry inch chief. Spectators peer into Cap
heeds them not. He is still AS statue.
DIR. Caboness of Yreka, the contract SURGE
on, who slept in their retreat on the night
of the 30th, says of Captain Jack, that he
presented a most oe-be-gone appearance.
The willy warrior sat upon rock in the
center OF q little lava bed, a few yards back
from the crest of bluff, and seemed as
lonely as his surroundings. He was wrap
ped in folded army blanket, and his head
was buried in his hands. His sister Mary,
who was captured at Willow creek, talked
to him with tears in her eyes, and asked
that he enter our camp. He had little to say.
He did promise that he would surrender,
but in the night he stole away.
The Modocs say that Jack is insane. Bos-
ton Charley and Schonchin are anxious a.
bout the disposition TO be made of them.
The former murdered DIR. Thomas, and
the latter mutilated Commissioner Meach-
am. Boston Charley and Schonchin look
ike desperadoes. Each carries his charac-
ter in his face. Boston Charley is about 2S
years of age, and Schonchin so. The bold
est warrior OF the band is Scar-faced Char
lev.

the preference of the Republicans fall up
led with any lingering desire for the place."
1t is evident that he hoped the Democratic
Convention would adopt his moderate
ground, If not take him as its candidate.
But when, he saw the platform actually
adopted, and read Gen. Blair's Broadhead
letter, he withdrew his sympathies from
the cSuse of the Democracy in that cam
paign, without fully revertng to tho Re-
publican side. He thought that Horatio
Seymour made great mistake in accept
ing the Democratic nomination on the plat
form framed. Further on in the campaign
he seems TO have clearly perceived the drift
of things, and he writes:
"Judge Pierrepont has made the true is
sue between Seymour and Blair and Grant
and Colfax. He analyses it well when he
says that it is an issue between Blair and
revolution and Grant and peace, leaving
Seymour and Colfax almost wholly out of
sight"
In the last of thele letters, written after
the State elections in Vermont and Maine
had shown how the Presidential election
would go, the Chief Justice writes:
~ hope that your expectations of good
results TO the people of the late slave States,
whether white or black, from the election
of Gen. Grant will be realized. l think
they will be, at least in part. Reconstruct
ton in the features which approve, as
well as in those which 1 disapprove, will
probably become fixed and permanent facts
under his administration. 1 incline to
think also that he will favor the removal of
all disabilities imposed by the Fourteenth
Amendment. In other respects my fears
of the results of his election are stronger
than my hopes. But it will be great thing
to have universal suffrage under tho new
Constitution assured, and all disabilities
removed. In this way only, and in can
did acceptance of this way, can the South
ern States, in my Judgment, look for sure
prosperity"

Our fine long winters sleighing is
gone. But in departing it came near carry
ing off enc OF our most esteemed fellow cit
liens. On Wednesday, May 2lst, think it
was, Father Burt Howard, who must be
near 80 years old, though vigorous and
well preserved, as Green Mountain octo-
genarians usually are, while searching for
certain stray sheep, walked too near the
abrupt brow of one of our most precipitous
Dover hills, and bethought him, just one
second too late, that this was too near the
verge-a little "careless, for 10 the "train
had started" His feet flew from under
him, and most perilous coasting expert
ment of some 40 rods down the steep snow
covered declivity was begun. Soon losing
consciousness he swept on, over partly
decayed stump and very especially sound
up-cropping stone, and found himself soon
after, dazed, bruised and lame, but alive
and with no bones broken, in lonely hol-
low, wonderfully preserved"
Our Dover Common, be it known, is
this spring park (prospective) of beautiful
young naples. Just imagine what a syl-
van Paradise of verduro and shade might
have been here now, had this been done 80
years ago! We will bequeath thus to our
children the "Common' heritage we wish
had descended to ourselves. d.

sage of past three score and ten, wo gath

common consent, at the residence of A.
Birchard, at 3 o'clock, II. NJ, and from
thence proceeded in line to the cemetery,
unheralded by fife or drum, where def
hands and loving hearts quietly distribu-
ted natures emblems of purity, honor and
virtue upon the spots that mark the MEM
cries of the brave and true. those who died
that the nation might live. After the deco
ration several selections were sung by the
choir and appropriate remarks were made
by the Rev. Mr.. Dove, after which we dis
persed as quietly, as We came together.
Thus closed day full of sad yet sweet
memories; and as its sadness goes out in
the future, may its sweetness perfume the
life of many generation yet unborn. ].

On Tuesday. May 90, the children,
grandchildren, and great grandchildren,
brothers, sisters and friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Calvin Tenney, met at their residence
in Windham, to celebrate their golden we'd
ding, it being fifty years since they were
married.
They have had ten children nine are
now living, all of whom were present on
this joyful occasion. The number of chill
dren, grandchildren and great grandchil-
dren present were forty-twO, and there
were four grandchildren absent; whole
number present. sixty-four. The children
aud friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Tenney. left
as a token of their regards the sum of $50.
Mrs. Tenney's only brother, who lives so
far away, could not consistently be present
on this occasion, yet he and his family re-
membered his sister by sending her very
nice dress, also his brother-in-law by send
ing him q nice cane.
In this family circle for the past fifty
years, death has not entered but three
times; first taking a son, next n grandson,
and last a sons wife. Yet these parents
have often been called to mourn for dear
loved ones who have been called home to
rest. Mr.. Tenney has buried father and
mother, one sister and one brother Mrs.
Tenney has buried "a father and mother
who died with the small pox, two sisters
and one brother in the past fifty years.
After partaking of refreshments from q
bountifully loaded table, furnished by the
friends, they all went out TO enjoy the pure
air, which is ever found in old Windham,
and there listened to very appropriate and
interesting remarks by Dea. Asa II. Goold.
