Death of Gen, Frank T., Blair.

Gen. Frank p, Blair, Jr., died sudden
ly at his Missouri home, Friday morning
of last week. He had been i'll for long
time and some time ago was thought to
be near death, but he rallied, few
months ago, under the TRANSMISSION of
blood treatment and his recovery had
been hoped for until very short time
before his death. On the day of his
death he had rode out, but returning to
his home, he suddenly became dizzy and
fell, striking his head on piece Of fur
niture. He instantly became insensible
and died in few hours. He will be
remembered most prominently in 1868,
as democratic candidate for vice-presi-
dent on the ticket with Seymour

AN ELEVEN YEAR OLD HERO. -
Near Connersville, Ind, a few DAYS ago,
just after the heavy rains, an express
train on the G. II. and | Railroad was
approaching at very rapid rate a
bridge over a river, when the engineer
noticed little boy on the track gesticu-
lating wildly. A short, sharp whistle, a
sudden reversal of the engine, and a
swift application of the brakes brought
the train to stop just as it reached the
abutments where the bridge had rested,
but from which it had been washed
away. The boy, but for whom the train
would have been destroyed and many
lives lost, was found sitting near the
track, shaking as though he had chill.
He was boy only eleven years old. He
innocently said he did not begin shak.
ing until he sat down, thereby showing
that not until he had seen the train stop
in safety did his nerves give way. He
said his name was Davis, and that he
lived near by, pointing to farm house.
He was on his way home from neigh
boris when he discovered that the bridge
had been washed away since passing an
hour previous. He remembered the
down passenger train, and knowing that
it was about time it came along, hurried
up the track to give warning. He had
only arrived at the spot where he was
noticed by the engineer when the train
came along.

1t is remarked upon as singular, .
says the Chicago Tribune. that Gratz
Browns argument for deprecated
currency is eontemporaneous with the

- The Republican ticket in Pennsyl.
vania is supported handsomely by the
Independent press, and there is good
reason to believe it will poll the full
party strength, which means victory.
The President Of the Republican
Convention in Wisconsin, Ex-Governor
Lewis, was among those who were disaf.
fected and who declined to act with the
party two years ago. He is now as en-.
thusiastic as of old. His course. and
the hearty reception accorded him
might be copied generally.
Alex II. Stephen put the following
good question to the Southern people il
his Fourth July address "The great
cause Of strife being now forever remov.
ed, why cannot all true friends of Con
stitutional liberty cordially unite in tn,
future for the perpetuation of the prin
ciples set forth in the common Declare
ton of Independence ?"

BELLOWS FALLS, JULY IS, 1875

Many of the newspapers comment on
the folly of the manner in which the
Fourth of July has come to be celebrat.
ed, by which so many accidents happen,
and so many people are either killed or
manned for life, and hope that a more
reasonable and less dangerous manner
may prevail hereafter A Westminster
farmer has well expressed the hope that
the centennial of next year will end all
further Fourth of July celebrations
with gun powder and other explosives.

COUNTRY JOURNALISM OVERCOME
Country journalism has been overdone
in the past ten years and they of course
suffer in the present business depression,
and like some of the city dailies they
will have to consolidate. On this SUBJ
ject the Springfield, Mass. Republican
recently had the following;
A first great reform in weekly jour-
nalism lies in the reduction of its num-
bers. At present they are poor and
weak, largely by the division of their
opportunities and their power. The
same depletion and consolidation that
have been going on for years in the dai
ly journalism of our cities must be APP
piled to the weekly journalism of our
villages. Its strength lies in concentra-
ton and elevation of character. The
country journalism Of Vermont and
western Massachusetts, is perhaps the
best weekly journalism in the nation
But if half the papers published ii
these districts could be stricken out o.
existence, it would be a great boon tC
the business and the public.

Nor EXACTLY AN ENoCH ARDEN
CAsE.-lf it were an Enoch Arden case
we would hardly be tempted to mention
it, but it is something better Mr.. A. G..
Bailey resided in 1861 in one of the in
terror counties of Missouri, his family
consisting Of his wife and little daugh-
ter. Enlisting in the army he was
wounded or became sick and for months
lay in hospital, communication with
his family being by some exigency cut
off. Meanwhile the wife was obliged by
circumstances to remove from her home.
the result of all these events being that
at the close of the war Mr.. Bailey
sought his family in vain. Finally he
removed to Oregon and entered into the
practice of law, remaining there ever
since. A few days ago he happened to
be in St. Louis ON business, and in look
ing over the directory found a name
similar to that of his lost wife. Scarcely
hoping that it might really be her he
sought the ladys residence, when he
found the one whom he had given up as
dead. For fourteen years his wife had
been true to his memory, and the reun-
ION was a most happy one.

THE UNIVERSITY RACE.

SARATOGA, N. Y, July IA, 1875.
AT eleven o'clock the time set for the
VARSITY Race" the lake was quite
rough and most people thought the race
would necessarily be postponed. AT
eleven thirty however, the wind had di-
minished in force to such degree that
the crews all took their positions except
Dartmouth which soon followed. At
twelve o'clock the signal was given to
start and the crews started nicely and
very close to each other.
1t was not until they had reached the
half mile line that any one could dis
tinguish who was ahead so nearly alike
were the Harvard, Cornell and Dart
mouth crews but soon Cornell pushed
her prov ahead of the rest.
Between this point and the mile line
Harvard made squirt and gained so as
to cross considerably in advance. Cornell
then made squirt and crossed the two
mile line as much in the lead Of Har
ward who was then already Tapped by
Dartmouth.
At the two mile line Columbia whC
was fourth made brilliant effort anC
passed both Dartmouth and Harvard
coming in not length behind Cornell
who won the race in sixteen minutes
fifty-three and one quarter seconds, thu
following crews coming in, in the order
named, Columbia, Harvard, Dart
mouth, Yale.

SIX BOYS DRowNED.-At Fall River
Mass, last week, six boys between the
age of eight and eleven years were
drowned while bathing. There we're
seven in the party, and all joined hands
and walked beyond their depth. When
they reached deep water they parted
hands in the middle, leaving three in
each party, the one in the centre escap-
ing death. The Others were drowned
and their bodies wore recovered in the
position in which they disappeared with
hands firmly grasped.

DAMAGE TO THE CHURCHES.

No less than 260 lights of glass were
broken in the Episcopal church and
100 at the Congregational church, while
at the Roman Catholic church the dam
age will exceed $1,000. The splendid
large stained and ornamented glass win
dow, which was purchased by the St.
John the Baptist society, at a cost of
over $500, was totally ruined. Several
Of the designs were broken out entirely,
while others were badly cracked. The
organ was just under this window and it
is feared is badly damaged by water,
The farm houses and crops in this
immediate vicinity suffered much. Dan
iel o. Smith had 1875 panes of glass
broken, Warren Hatch 80, and others
less number. Corn suffered severly and
other crops were beat down. The storm
appears to have been local and extended
but few miles.
