A singular natural curiosity is found at
Sadawga Pond, in Nottingham, VT, con-
sisting of one hundred and fifty acres of
land floating on the surface of the water,
covered with cranberries, and even sus-
tanning trees fifteen feet high. When ths
water is raised or lowered at the dam Of
the pond, the island rises and falls with
it, and fish are caught by boring hole in
the crust, and fishing down, as through
the ice in winter. A similar island once
existed in small lake near Bangor, Me-,

Hundreds of Negroes Drilling Nightly
with Springfield Rifles.
MEMPHIS, June 5.-Anderson Boyd, col
ored, was shot and fatally wounded this
morning by officer ]. Emmy, while attempt
ing to arrest him for burglarizing Stanton
Il MOOre's store. His partner, Stephen
Ray, was arrested and considerable quanti-
ties of goods found on him.
Some weeks since Mayer League appointed
several negroes in charge of the hose carriage
in Chelsea, which was bitterly opposed BY
the firemen and annuled by the General
Council. Since the feeling has been grow
ing worse. On last Sunday in a dispute
about the civil rights bill, Thos. Farrell
was dangerously cut by a negro with a
razor Some of his friends, among them
a number of firemen, seized the negro and
doubtless would have iynched him but for
an alarm of fire.
The riOtous proceeding on decoration
day and the subsequent arrest Of Thomas
Swan, President of the Pole Bearers AsSo-
citation and leading politician, has embit-
tered the negroes. Vague rumors of riots
and attacks by the blacks in revenge have
been current for day or two, which has
been caused by the clustering bravadO of q
few worthless negroes TO that effect.
Most of the members of the Pole Bearers
Association served in the Union army, and
by some means they have secured Spring
field rifles. The Ledger asserts positively
that last night hundred and fifty of them
were drilling beyond Chelsea, from IL till
3 O'Clock, and had piCkets thrown out who
halted several persons and prevented any
one approaching. Although no trouble is
apprehended seriously by the citizens OF
better class of colored people, any impru-
dence on either side might cause serious
trouble, oil account Of the exaggerated ideas
of the most ignorant negroes, who assert
that John Jefferson, convicted of brutally
numbering colored fellow labOrer, cannot
| be hung owing to the civil rights bill.

WE are IN favor Of paying every dol
aar of our honest Indebtedness as a
State, but when such infamous legis-
Astion is indulged in for the sole pur-
pose of degrading and further impov-
crushing our people, we are in favor of
using every means of retaliation in our
power, even to the repudiating of our
State debt.-McMinnUiILe NelC Era.
This retaliatory proposition is based,
we suppose, upon the idea that all our
State bonds are held among the Rad
ical element North-the class who are
backing Congress in its threatened i'm
position upon the South of negro
equality-that ''sum of all villainies. -
Such, however, is not the case A
large proportion of the bonds are
IN the hands of and relied
upon as a permanent investment for
persons who are altogether innocent of
any intention to oppress our people

THE Banners bluster about the or

ing the publication of the testimony in
the Powers case while the witnesses
were "underth rule, +" was too silly for
