/ Another of those few men who con-
/ meet rs with the last century by their
! lives and labOrs, has gone the way OF all
/ the earth. Mr.. Amos Hart, who was
! seventy-six years old last April, died on
/ Wednesday evening, the 18th, and was
/ buried on Friday by the side of his wife
( in the Howard graveyard. She died one
/ year and half since and had been his
I companion for fifty-fve years. They
never had but one child, an only son,
who still survives.
! Upon fhe same evening, the 18th

State Temperance Society, lcctured be-
/ fore the citizens of this town. His ar

and highly appreciated by an audience
altogether too small. Our people are
not so fond of hearing the voices of
/ strangers as some are; bat should he
come again, he would receive a fuller
house.
Our village was thrown into consid-
cradle excitement on Saturday last, by
T the arrest of Arson Howard. of Wind

Attorney. The respondent was ably de-
Tended by A. N. A1hee of Londonderry,
and l.. NJ Reed of Bellows Falls, but
the court bound him up to appear at the
County Court, and piaood his bonds at
$500 Immediately upon the close of
this hearing, Montreviile Witherell, also
of Windhall, was arrested as an accom-
pliee, and on Monday was placed under
$500 bonds Failing to procure bonds
men, they were both taken TO Newfane

SILK MANUFACTURE IN AMERICA.--A re-
port, just issued by the silk manufacturers of
America, states that the growth of that inter-
est in this country is steadily increasing.
Within decade, it has sprung up from an in
significant and unpromising experiment, and
now lids fair to become one of the leading
and most lucrative branches of our varied in
dustry. There is said to be at this time a
capital of over s3O,ooO,O0o invested in the
business in this country, against less than
100000 in 1860. Sixteen thousand opera.
tives are employed, earning IS, 900, 900 per an
mum, and weaving between 100000, 900 and
s40,000,000 worth of silk goods in year.
And yet the planting of the mulberry and oak
trees, which are chiefly used in propagating
the worms, as well as the employment OF the
Chinese, has been attended with serious
drawbacks, which it will require time to over
come. Another obstacle in the way of a
rapid growth of silk manufacture, in this
country, is found in the fact that the Califor-
mia raw silk must all be sent to Europe to be
reeled, the improved machinery necessary for
that purpose not having strangely enough.
found its way as yet to this country. The
American silks are universally admired, both
in this country and in Europe, and when our
facilities are matured we will be able to COM
pete with the world,

OUR Republican friends who opposed and
defeated the bill to compel those who will
now be left to grow up in ignorance to attend
school, should have serious cause for self-ex-
animation when they find the most ultra and
reactionary Democratic papers in the State
singing their praise and publishing their
speeches. After the nation has spent billions
of money and thousands of lives to put down
rebellion caused by ignorance, it is rather
late day to say that the State has no right, in
order to prevent crime and anarchy, to COM
pei the young to he so instructed as to re
move the danger. When the people are COM
PEELED by law to give money to support
schools, the logical inference is that the same
power should see that those for. whom it is
principally designed are made to avail them
selves of it. ...-- e D.

THE testimony of Senator Patterson before
the Senate Committee Friday must be CON-
mended for its frankness and the air of can
dor with which he proceeds not to raise a
question of veraclty with Cakes Ames, but
to show that he was deceived by that gentle
man all along. BY Ames' own letters to Mr.
Patterson last year and his (Ames') subse-
quent testimony, he appears little better than
liar. Senator Patterson has justly stood
high in the public estimation as man of
character and ability, but the fact that he
signed Cakes Ames' receipts for Credit Mo
blier dividends withoutIreadng them and all
the while suppo led them to be receipts for
Pacific Railroad dividends, is sample of the
'childlike and bland" entirely out of place
in Washington. The explanation that Mr..
Patterson makes respecting his last letters to
Mr.. Ames, as to how the latter should testify
Is reasonable in view of the fact that Hoax
had requested him to "refresh' his memory
by writing them. On the whole, it must be
admitted that Mr.. Patterson has greatly
helped his reputation for veracity and homes
ty if not for sagacity. H.--if- .
