EDITOR AGE:

EDITOR AGE:
What for God sake, are the peo
pie of Waterbury thinking about
Do they suppose the people Of Yer
mont are going to support a public
louise institution. 1t is as much as
we, the people of Iarland can do to
support our private louse institutions
without having q public one thrust
upon us. And we shall pay no taxes
to support such a nasty, dirty, filthy
concern. We say cleanse the. thing
out with fire and birthstone, and do
it thoroughly, so their will not be one
stone left standing on the top of anoth-
er. They say Mr.. Editor that some
OF them public lice up there, are
great fat fellows as big as Il good
large tom cat, and some Of the nits
are as big as a chipmunk squirrel
Those fellows are back pay chaps,
they could not live and grow 50 fat
on their common salary, they must
get back pay from the government.
| would propose to the State, to try
one method to get rid Of those
yarlnints. Buy up about so barrels
OF black pepper and about the same
amount Of the spirits Of camphor and
about so Of the biggest squirt guns,
employ two setts of men, so as to
keep the things a running day and
night, and then go for them, two forty.
Try this experiment s and-40 hours
and if the patients receive no benefit,
then try the method your Chester
correspondent recommends. Take
the threshing machine and give them
particular "fits. If the State can.
not afford to buy combs, call upon the
people, | will give qualter. Is this
our boasted State Reform School;
no, it is public a nuisance. A shame
and a disgrace to our State. We say
down with such a lousy concern.
Make it more desolate then the cities
of Sodem and Gomarrah. NC.

4 Romance OF the War.

Our neighboring city of Tihin is just now
deeply interested in the sequel of war cpl
sode, which shows how romance sometimes
creeps into the events of real life. Early in
the war Titfin and vicinity had q sort of itine-
rate Albright preacher named Downey Up
on the outbreak of the war Downey entered
the service as a Captain in one of the Seneca
regiments, and when the Government decided
upon employing negro troops, he became Colo
mel OF colored regiment During the CAM
paign in Tennessee, his regiment CHANGED to
be .encamped upon the estate of Colonel Wash
ington, near Nashville. The regiment seems
not to have been under the best discipline;
and its members seized Colonel Washington
and threatened him with instant death, and al
30 set about destroying the elegant family
mansion. Colonel Downey, by great exer-
tions and at the imminent risk of his own life,
succeeded in rescuing Colonel Washington
from death, and in saving the mansion and
other property from destruction. Colonel
Washington felt profoundly grateful at the
time for Colonel Downey's brnr" -'.o.." IL.
his Lohalt, and promised never to forget them.
There the matter rested, and the wild scenes
with which Downey was surrounded soon drove
it out of his mind He remained at the head
of his regiment until the war was over, and
then returned to Tiffin and settled down into
quiet domestic life. Not long ago he died,
leaving his family in Strengthened circumstan-
ces. Mrs. Downey was driven to her needle
for support She and her children lived in
their humble way, with little thought that
great change was soon to be wrought in their
condition. Recently Col. Washington died,
when it was found that he had willed his prop
erty, consisting of ,O9O IN bonds and green
backs, and three hundred acres of improved
land situated mile and a half from Nashville
the whole valued at $1,000 at least, to the
heirs of Col. Downey. Israel j. Downey, a
son of the deceased Colonel, has just returned
from Nashville, whittier he went to see about
the bequest. He found everything concerning
the will, as stated above. The executor of
the estate was in Tifin on Monday, arranging
details of the transfer.
