THE FOURTH IN SILyER.-There was very
little doing ia the way of celebrating in this
place on the Fourth most Of our citizens hay
ing joined in the procession at Gold Hill and
Virginia. Our Fire Department, Base Ball
Clubs, Miners Union, etc. accepted iuvi-
tation from their friends in Gold Hill. Be
fore going to that place they formed in pro-
eession and marched through Main street,
and presented fine appearance. The Silver
Star Babcock Hook and Ladder Co, had their
truck handsomely decorated; the members,
dressed in black pants and red shirts, under
command of the Foreman of theeompany, Mr..
Laconey, showed themselves to be thorough
fremen and it is rare thing 70 find a finer
looking set Of men together. Washoe Base
Ball Club, composed of ten Of the rising sons
of Silver City, were very appropriately cos
tuned, having red pants, white shirts, light
eolored hats, trimmed with blue border, and
canvas shoes. The Miners Union turned out
en- m9sss, and looked every inch Of them the
stalwsrt miner-the bone and sinew of the
country. 1t is surmissed that on the return
of our Natal Day Silver City will have a pro
cession Of her own, in place of having to go
to her sister towns to celebrate.

The Opera house was filed last evening
with an audience that comprised among
its numbers many of the best citizens of
Rutland to witness the wonderful per-
formanccs of Zcra, "thc man with the
spirit hand" While those who had as
scmblel there were in expectation Of see
Ing much ii is safe to say that none OK
pcctCd to witness the extraordinary doings
of the evening, and all went away express
ing themselves as more than pleased with
the entertainment. Zera is without any
exception the best prestidigitatcur and ven
triloquist that ever appeared before Rut-
it is hard matter to speak of any
performance separately. The first act
of the evening producing flowers in pots
from ''pasteboard hot house as he
termed it, was received with applause, but
this faded into utter insignificance when
the spirit bell and card trick were per-
formed. His hat performance has never
vet been equalled here, and after making
a hearty meal of cotton, he drew from his
mouth an almost endless roll of red, white
and blue ribbon, followed with blowing
fire and smoke from his mouth. At the
close of the first part he favored the audi
cnce with Il couple of songs, one being
the banner song, in which he in
troduccd the national cmblems of
Germany, Ireland, France, England and
our own stars and stripes. The English
flag was greeted with loud and violent
Kisses. The second part was devoted en-
tirely to ventriloquism, IN which he intro
duced forms representing Joe, Jim and
Mary. The dialogue that cnsued between
the four was comcal and interesting, and
kept the audience convulsed with laughter,
and must be seen TO be appreciated. The
miniature figures introduced which sang
and danced, were far superior to any ever
exhibited by Barnum himself, the one rep
rcscnting a negro character with songs,
alone being worth the price Of admission.
AT the close of the second part the
| presents. which consisted of n silver watch
silver plated ware, hams, sacks of flour
soap, salt, &c, were given away to those
who were fortunate enough to hold a lucky
| ticket The entertainment closed by hls
mcsmerizing young lad and suspcnding
him in the air, while his elbow rested upon
awooden rod, this being truly a wonder
| full pcrformadcc. and one which it hardl,
seems possible 10 do. This evening hi
gives his second entertainment, and We
predict crowded house, and every one
who wishes to pass an evening in seeing
what man can do should not fail to b'
| present.

Democratic Address.
New York, Sept. g

New YoRK, Sept. %.
The democratic state central committee
to-day issued the following address
Citizens of New York You are called
upon to rescue the state from misrulc, TO
assist rcpublcanism against impending
empire, and restore supremacy of the
constitution. In what seemed to he the
darkest days of the republic, New York
recorded her verdict for the rights of the
people and will not faltcr now that they
are assailcd with fresh dangers Grant re-
publicanism declares in favor of two terms
for Gen. Dix and three more for Gen.
Grant. II ignores issues of revenue,
reform, civil service reform, free
dom OF press and rc-establishment in the
states of the south. 1t proposes no mes
sure of relief for laboring, mercantile and
manufacturing interests suffering from the
results Of false financial system. It's
barren promise of return to specie payment
is opposed with the stubborn fact that dur
ing the ten years while it had control Of
every department of the government it
has taken no step in that direction.
1t offers TO people no longer blind to
crimes of the Grant administration moth
ing but blind adherence to party
On the other hand the liberals and
democracy point with confidence to their
affirmative platform of principles and their
affirmative and unassailabe candidates
They appeal to the citizens of New York,
without regard TO past political assoca-
TONS TO Join them IN an earnest and ag-
gressive warfare upon corruption in all its
forms. In this campaign there must be n
united attacking front. The popular heart
beats IN sympathy with our cause, the pop
ular mind is convinced of the imperative
necessity of change Of administration.
Encouraging reports from all sections of
the state reach this committee. Every
where there are gains, nowhere losses.
New York and Kings counties will give
$4,000 majority for the state ticket Cour-
age, determination and zeal will secure vic

Considerable excitement was occasioncd
in SALISBURY few days since upon the
return of Mr.. ]. p. Northrop, Gan en-
ployee in the chair factory of Marshall and
Paine) together with his family, from an
absence of several days, when. on entering
their house, they made the startling dis
covery that it had been utterly stripped of
every movable article of any value what
ever. Suspicion fell upon young man
named Alphonso Sargent, who had made
his home in that vicinity since about the
first of September, having in his possession
three horses, q wagon, harness, &c, con-
corning his ownership of which property
many doubts were expressed. A portion
of the stolen property was found stored in
a barn, also small articles at the house of
James Young, which had been given to his
wife by said Sargent. Sargent was ar
rested, and on hearing before Hon. Hiram
Barton, his bail was fixed at $500, to APP
pear at the December term of court, in de-
fault Of which he was committed to the
county Jail in this place. This was about
a week or ten days ago Now we come
TO the second charge, viz, horse stealing.
1t appears that on the night of August
Dist, one Andrew j. Williams, a farmer,
living in Kecne, N. H., had stolen from
his barn horse valued at $500 In his
extensive search for the lost animal, many
friends were solicited to keep sharp look
out, one of which upon reading in the
columns of Vermont newspaper an ac-
count of the above burglary, including q de-
scription OF the horses, advised him by
letter to send description of his horse to
some one in SALISBURY, that possibly he
might find it there. Acting on this advice,
he addressed Il letter TO the deputy sheriff
of that place, which fell into the hands Of
Mr.. Barton, first constable, who upon an
examination OF the horses replied by telc-
graph that one exactly answering the de-
scripion was there. Mr.. Williams immc-
diately started for SALISBURY, arriving
there Saturday last and recognized the
horse as his
Sargent has been put under heavier
bonds, and an examination before Justice
White of this village was commenced
Monday morning, but was adjourned by
request Of the prisoner until he can obtain
counsel and get witnesses from New
Hampshire, by whom he says his innocence

The universal opinion is that the remain
ing two horses are stolen property. II so,
or not, a few days will probably tel!

TIE NATIONAL GAME.
Seminary VS.. Ottor Creek.

A game of base ball between the Semin-
airy club of Manchester and the Otter
Greek club of Dandy, played upon the
grounds of the latter, on Saturday. Sept.
90, was considered one of the best games of
the season, and resulted in victory for the
Seminary club, although very close game
at the beginning.
The game was called with the Otter
Creeks at the bat and John Hickey of
Dandy as umpire. They succeeded in
scoring four runs. The Seminary's then
went to the bat and also succeeded in scor-
ing four runs thus the score standing even
at the end of the first inning. The Otter
Creeks then went to the bat and were
whitewashed. The Seminary's then took
the bat and also received a whitewash ),
thus the score standing even at the end of
the second innings. The third innings the
Otter Creeks scored two and the Semin-
ary's one. In the last half of the third in
nings the Seminary club objected to the
decision of the umpire, and a change of
umpire was made, w. b. Wall of Burr e
Burton seminary acting in that capacity
through the remainder of the game. The
fourth, fifth and sixth innings were white
washes for the Otter Creeks, the Scmin-
arys scoring nine runs The seventh in
nings was whitewash Tor the Seminary's,
the Otter Creek scoring one run, The
