MiddIeDurY.

The excitement attendant ON the failure
of the paper company was so great that it
produced a perfect panic among the timid
portion of our citizens. All kinds of sto-
ries were set afloat by some unthinking
men as a matter of joke in the community
about failures in all directions, including
some Of our safest and most substantial
men. Happily the fraud was found out IN
season to be checked, and now all remains
as before.
Mr.. Rockwell had occasion to 90 to Chi
cago on business, and story soon was set
agoing that he had left these parts for
good that he was not able to pay his
debts, etc. Now, the truth Is, he may owe
about twelve or thirteen thousand dollars
and he has notes, bonds, mortgages, stocks
and real estate which can be turned into
cash, if a little time is given, to the amount
Of forty or fifty thousand dollars. How
ungenerous and unjust it is to spread re-
ports of failure in such a case! Who is
benefited by it?
Everybody feels that Middlebury College
has met with great loss in losing the SER
vices of such an able professor as Mr. Web
Der, and the town so good man and
preacher. lie has lived here for a number
of years, and we had hoped that he would
find it in the line of his duty TO settle down
here for life. But in his answer to the
trustees of the college, who had elected
HIM president, he clearly gives his conyic-
ton of duty in declining the presidency,
and accepting the call to again enter the
ministry in Troy, N. Y. However we
may mourn his departure from among us,
our best wishes will attend him in his labor
in bringing men from darkness to light
from Satan unto God.
A correspondent Of the Delaware (Ohio,
Herald gives the following incident OF
"lIow Chief Justice Waite learned of his
nomination from f. d. Mussey," formerly
of Middebury, now on the Cincinnati
Times. II says;
The glad news was first borne TO the con
vention by II. d. Mussey, that brilliant cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Times, who is
always bearer of glad tidings. He saw
a dispatch at the Times Office, and being @
warm personal friend of Mr.. Waite, hC
FASTENED to the convention. That august
body was just on the eve Of assembling
after the noon recess. Mr.. Waite was In
the chair. Mussey glided to his side, and
announced the nomination President GRAM
had made. Mr. Waite turned white ther
his face flushed with deep crimson color
The lightning struck him rather unexpect
edly The intelligence quickly spread
among the members and officers, and in {
twinkling host of friends were besieginl
the President with congratulations upoI
his nomination and then went hearty
unanimous applause from all parts
of the hall, and all, democrats and republi
cans, participating in 1t and not mar
but felt that the state had been honored by
the choice Mr.. Grant had made.

The Power of the Grange Movement.

The power of the grange movement made
itself felt in Congress on Wednesday in a
significant manner. Mr.. Holman of Indi-
ana offered an amendment TO the Army
Appropriation bill forbidding the Secretary
of War to pay for the transportation of
troops, munitions Of war, or army supplies
over railroads built wholly or in part by
land grant subsidies where there was pro-
vision in their charters providing that said
roads shall be public highway for the use
of the United States Government, free
from all tolls and other charges tor Gov
eminent use. G. f. IIoar of Massachu-
sets moved to amend this amendment so
as to affect only such railroads as were re-
quired by their charters to perform these
services free of charge. Mr.. Holman COM
planned that this emasculated his amend
ment, and spoke rather strongly against the
influence which railroads exerted over Eas-
tern Congressman, whereupon Hoar re-
buked him for prcsuming to lecture the
House. This called forth lively rejoind-
er from Holman, and quite n spirited de-
bate sprang up, which drew the attention
of members from Cessna's free lunch down
stairs. Willard of Vermont suggested an
amendment to IIolmans amendment, al
lowing the railroads to sue in the Court of
Claims, which was accepted. Burchard
of Illinois and Kasson of Iowa, both came
up to the support Of Holman with strong
speeches, and the temper of western mem
bers was so decidedly against IIoar and the
railroad interest that Mr. Wheeler, who
had charge of the appropriation bill, an
nounced that his committee on consultation
had agreed to accept Holman's amendment
with Wizards proviso. 1T seems that the
railroads have heretofore avoided the true
intent of the law by claiming that their
road beds only were public highways, and
that the government, while entitled to the
free use of them, had no right to use their
rolling stock without compensation. On
such fiimsy bubble as this the Illinois
Central railroad and other corporations
have been paid large sums of money by the
government for services which their char
ter required them to give without money
and without price, 1t is quite evident
from the result of this days work that the
movement against railroads is strong
enough even in the present House to exert
q very considerable influence on legislation.

The War In Cuba.
New York, Feb.

New York, Feb. s.
A private letter from Havana says the af-
fair at Trinidad Is regarded as an excep-
tional case, and not at all indicative of a
general uprising of the negroes and burning
of plantations An opinion prevails that
the insurgents will soon be able to cross the
old Trocha in comparative force. Hereto
fore they have been able occasionally to
cross in small parties Should they sue
coed in crossing in large numbers the burn
ing of plantations is inevitable. A secret
organization is thought to exist, with rami-
flcatlons extending to all parts of the island,
the object of which is to give moral and
material support to the insurgents, who, If
successful in their operations In the CEN
trail and eastern departments, will endeayor

$780,
Brother Eaton of the North Star, got a
lively stirring up last Sunday morning, fire
having caught in his Office from a stove pipe
passing through partition. A timely dis
covery and well-directed labor saved any
more disastrous result than loss of about
$50, with good scare for our confrerc.

On Tuesday night Messrs. G. II. s. II.
w. Cheney engaged man to go to tho
depot for canof oysters. The man went
and brought back the oysters, which he set
on the steps of the store and departed o.
tensbly forhomo. 1t seems, however, that
he had a serious craving for tho bivalves,
so much so that he retraced his steps to the
store, and, taking the can from the place
where he had left it, he retrcated in good
order. The oysters were missed and he
was suspected. Officer Crawford was set
upon his track and soon scented out the
oysters where the chap had hid them in a lot
near his house. We believe the thief has
owned up and made to suffer for the deed.

The Siamese Twins.
New York, Feb. 3

NEW YORK, Feb. D.
A dispatch from Richmond, Va, says
the scientific medical commission from
Philadelphia arrived at Mount Airy on
Saturday. Sunday consultation was had
with the wives of the Siamese twins, which
resulted in obtaining their consent to the
proposition of the commission, on the con-
dition and with the distinct understanding
that the bodies should not be mutllated.
The commission repaired to the cellar
where the remains Of the twins were in
TERED, and opened the outer collins, and
then removed the inner coffin to the room
above. The bodies were found in a good
state of preservation. Chang's features
were partially dscolored, those of Eng be-
Ing natural. The widows then entered the
room and took final farewell of the re-
MAINS, and left them TO the doctors. A
partial examination was then had, which
was followed by consultation. Partial
enbalment of the bodies was then per-
formed, and the bodies were once more
covered in coffin securely solderod in a
Tin box. This was again boxed, and after
obtaining the consent Of the widows re-
moved to Mount Airy, and thence to the
railroad station for transportation to Phil
adelphia.
