Mysterious Disappearance.

Nathan Miner, young man Fl years Of
age, station agent at Newbury, disappeared
last Wednesday night under the following
circumstances On the approach of the
down midnight train he took the money in
the ticket office, about 5000, as was his Gus.
tom at night, locked the station, gave his
keys and watch to an assistant and said he
thought he would go down to the reunion at
Brattleboro, stepped aboard the train ami has
not been heard from since save by the conduc.
tor who saw him just after the train left New.
bury. Whether he has been way gone crazy
or absconded with the funds is unknown. His
friends in st Johnsbury and Peacham are Of
course anxious to find him, or his body, and
will be thankful for any information that will
lead to bis discovery. lie was about five
feet and eight inches in hight, weighed
about 155 pounds, had thin side whiskers
aud black hair. Any one able to give any
information should address h. A. Miner, st
J ohnsbury.
Since the above was in type we learn that
Miner had with him about SIS, money col
lected on express bundles, which should have
been forwarded, and this makes his disap-
pearance look considerably less mysterious
than it might.

In a dingY room sat an old nan writ
ing with a Roman nose and a tall hat.
Not far from him, a broken-backed chair
supported his daughter with rickety legs,
and cracked rings. In the same room
was an old woman blowing the fire with
a lean cat under an old stove, being the
wife OF the old mar writing with a Ro-
mar nose. In a corner might be seen a
hungry boy eating onions with bow legs
and red hair from a table which he swal-
lowed without chewing. The whole
scene was overlooked by an old clock
ornamented with. Poeahontas saving
John Smith, three1egs covered with cob
webs and wound up every eight days by
a mar with a brass key. Ever and anon
the door was ratified by a cold dog with
out any hinges on the knob. Through
the broken window might be seen Q
woman cutting cabbage with a baby on
her arm through the shattered panes of
which daylight feebly shone. Another
window looked out upon the street where
stood a little man wiping the sweat from
his face with a hand-organ carrying a
monkey OF top, by grinding which he
had thought 10 vain to get a few cents
from the old mar writing with a tall hat.
Such were the lodgings Of the miser, be-
ing the old man writing with a Roman
nose so squalid and misery that II
looked as if no thrifty broom had ever
entered there.

THE srRuGGLE I'M MISSISSIPPI.


The people Of Mississippi are making
a gallant effort to throw OF the yoke Of
Radical rule which has been their curse
these nine or ten long, weary years
They have the sympathy Of all good and
true people wherever the facts are known
The carpet-bag government Of the State
is IS corrupt and disgraeeful as unprin-
cipled men can make it. The whites
pay all the taxes, the negroes and carpet
baggers hold the Offices and absorb all
the revenues. The State has no school
system worth anything, aud ' will
have while the Radicals are in power,
because there are too many thieves in
position TO steal the funds. The admir-
islration Of justice is a travesty and a
fraud. No wonder the people are sick
aud disguised at this state Of affairs,
and that they are putting forth the
energy Of desperation in this contest
The Republican party Of the State haI
heretofore been composed entirely o
the negroes and their few whit
leaders who are nearly all in Office
We are glad to see, however, that man!
Of the colored people have become dis
gusted with their leadership, and ar
joining the Democratic clubs. Severa
thousand votes will in this manner b,
gained. The whites will vote solid. Thu
absentees will not amount to one pei
cent, aud II seems that, unless q verl
