Windsor.

Windsor.
I'VE regret TO say that on the ac-
count of the untavorable weather of
last week our Town Fair was not a
success, and therefore was closed on
Wednesday night-the second day.
The Windsor Cornet Band furnished
music for the second day. The Rev.
Thos. j. Taylor, did not have the OPP
portunity to deliver his address on
Wednesday afternoon, as "advertised"
which, would undoubtedly have
bcen good one, Judging from other
productions of his pens. The entries
OF horses, cattle, sheep, swine aud
poultry were excellent. Those i'll the
other departments were meritorious,
but not so many rs last year From
our copious notes of the entries we
will only make the following extracts :
One pair of Jackscrews which will
RAISE Is tons each-small, cheap and
convenient and two tackle blocks
entered by the manufacturer, r. ID.
Wynn, Windsor. The United States
Artificial Stone Co., Mortified, had
on exhibition three small water coolers
and one 1870 gallon water tank--all of
which were handsome, we'll made and
useful, entered by VIM. Stone ma
tive of this village. The meat and
vegetable chopping machine, manu-
featured by the patentee, A. F Spauld-
ing, Northfeld-an indispensable ar
ticle Tor every household in Vermont
and elsewhere, was entered also, by
VIM. Stone. A handsome and SUBJ
stantial Upright Dry Air Refrigerator,
made by D. A. Barnard, Windsor,
was entered by him for premium. We
also noticed on exhibition one pair of
trained steer calves---yoked--siX
months old, by BERTHE Wood, of Cor
nish, N. H., a smart lad nine years old
On the Fair Grounds we noticed a
tent where John and Mary Powers
were on exhibition, with other living
curiosities, which we have not space
here to describe. John Powers, the
Kentucky Giant weighs 553 lbs, and
his sister Mary Powers S07 lbs. They
are soon to take tour through the
Southern and Western States. In
tend to exhibit at the Virginia State
Fair, Richmond, from Oct. 26th tc
Nov. lst. All persons who miss see
ing these curious specimens will loose
something that they will always re-
gret. They are worthy of the patron
age of all people. The Windsor
Base Ball Club played game on our
Fair Ground on Wednesday with the
Proctorsvllle Club 1--WE believe), and
got beat.
Last Sunday morning the Rev,
Robert NJ. Berkeley of Charlestown,

on exchange with the Rev. Mr.. Taylor
and had an impressive disc curse from

LINES TO A LITTLE MOTH.

As we were sitting in pensive
mood beside our desk, bright
winged little moth came fitting by,
and in the very heat and glow of the
inspiration which followed, we wrote
the following lines:l
Tell me, tell me, tiny wanderer.
Why thou fittest thus in haste9
Bothering this poetic ponderer To
keep thee from his pot of paste.
What canst eat to make thee fatterl
What canst gather little fiys (Or
small moth, but that's no NATTER,
Dost thou yearn for printers pi. Art
thou, moth, tender orphan, Left to
scull thine own small oarl Or a
mother, art thou, of an 'Ungry, fight
ing, squabbling scorel l am very
glad thou takest All the space thou
fain wouldst take; But when in my
lamp thou bakest, Don't say that l
made the bake! Thou art gone! and
none could hinder! and my SORROWS
must lisp! Thou art but little
cinder, Roasted to a minute crisp!-

LATEST DISPATCHES.

SAN Francisco, November 30.

victed of killing Thomas Crowley,
was sentenced to-day by Judge Nor
rison to six years imprisonment in
the State Prison.
In the matter of the schooner Sun
shine, which came ashore bottom up
at the mouth of the Columbia river,
it will probably never be known how
many were lost with her; but recent
information goes to show that prob
ably twelve or fifteen passengers per

The case of George w. Kinney
against the Consolidated Virginia
mine came up in the United States
Court this forenoon. The action is
for twelve and half feet Of the
Consolidated Virginia mine, claimed
by Kinney, on account of mistake
in the conveyance made by him to
the company of ground in his pos
session previous to the discovery OF
the bonanza, by which he conveyed
fifteen feet, while intending deed

FROM THE NORTH CARSON
While cutting away chamber for
the purpose of building the hosting
works in the North Carson mine, ore
was picked up that in point of rich
ness and general appearance COM
pares with any from the Comstock
mines. A report was in circulation
this morning that the ore found was
SO rich in horn silver that a pick
would not separate the rock. Sill
yer threads among the gold,' said
one; "away up said another, until
we were almost tempted to hire a
rockaway and take all the mineral
sbarps to the mine. Superintendent
Gould called on us this morning and
substantiated the report that very
rich ore had been found. So says

THE ONLY REMEDY.

Dean Swift wisely said, slime is
painted with a lock before and bald
behind, signifying thereby that we
must take tune by the forelock, for
when il is once passed there is no
recalling it," and it appears to us
from the accounts we almost daily
read, of the outrages committed by
the hoodlum element of San Fran
cisco, that now is the time to finally
and forever crush this element,
which, like q cancer is fast eating
into the vitals of its fair body, mar
ing its beauty, making it an obnox-
ious object not only to itself, but
10 those who see it from aside. 1t is
= shame that in city of that size
of her importance in the commercial
world, of her advanced position in
culture and refinement-that such
an evil should exist, and to such an
alarming extent that the outside
world should find it necessary for
the interest of the coast, and in the
name OF civilization to protest against
its existence, and urge the strongest
measures for its suppression. A
thief is soon known, and the brand
Of Cain upon his brow marks him
for the eye of the law, which follows
and Furnishes him for his deviations
from her principles, which are for
tie protection of her subjects. A
murderer is either condemned to i'm
prisonment for life, or yields it in
forfeit for the one he took, and no
pains are spared that right may be
vindicated and the security of prop
erty and life assured. The hood
lum has not only committed these
victim-he robs the unprotected
woman Of the brightest jewel that
adorns her coronet of virtues, he dis
regards and tramples upon the dear
est and most sacred of objects to
an honorable man-the honor Of
woman. People say it must be sur
pressed, but the rapid growth of this
apparently uncomfortable element
makes one almost believe that svice,
like disease floats in the atmos-
phere," and we must suffer until it
has spent its fury, but if like disease,
remedies should be applied in pro-
portion to its danger. We may be
considered rs lacking some of the
refinements OF metropolitan lite, but
thank God the women who brighten
our wastes with their presence, find
in every brave heart policeman
whose life is willingly offered to pro-
tect her own, and were such an ele-
ment to spring up in our midst, they
would soon make another spring,
and there hang swinging like a PEN
dulum marking their deeds of
crime between heaven and hell.
The vigilantes have protected the
people of this coast when the
law failed; the COL freed Virginia OF
incendiaries, murderers and thieves,
and the same spirit may make the
dreaded hoodlums but a thing ofthe
past.

A HUGE LUMP OF GOLD.

The following is from the Helena,
Montana, Independent" of Nov.
18th I:
A miner named Miller near Butte
City is reported to have found in
an ordinary gravel rock specimen
of surface gold worth $500. The
rock, which has the appearance Of
an ordinary boulder, is literally
scanned with gold. 1t had been
laying on the ground near the gulch
where a number of men had been
working all summer, and had at
tracted no attention until accident
threw it in the way of who Miller,
casually picked it up, and found
that he had come into possession Of
golden Bonanza. The gold is of
the finest quality, and there is a
strong probability of more where it
came from.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

For some time the reading people
of the country have been watching
carefully the dispatches from WASH
ington, to CLEAN from them, if posi-
BILE, some further information re-
garding the mysterious operations
progressing in the Naval Depart
ments. The Nantucket, the last of
the ironclads ready for service, has
been ordered to be prepared for
efficient duty when called upon. 1t
is also reported that orders have been
sent to Lisbon directing the entire
Mediterranean squadron to return
Immediately. Orders have also been
issued from the Navy Department to
allow no information of these move
ments to be made public. What
does all this mean? Is war on the
tapisl The shrewd observers are of
the opinion that at the next meeting
of Congress the all absorbing and
prominent Cuban question will be
discussed, and unexpected steps taken
in the matter. If our Government
proposes to annex that valuable piece
of real estate, it will do it in spite of
all the parent country can do, and
any remonstrance will be met with
the mailed hand of our ironclads.
But if the Government intends to in
terfere in behalf of humanity, to
prevent the slaughter and bloodshed
of thousands of brave hearts, bat
Ting in the same cause that, VIC
torious, was the foundation of
our country; to stop the devas-
tation of one of the fairest isles
of the sea; then every patriot will
turn his eyes towards the flag of
his country and say: "March on,
thou emblem of liberty; the shackles
of slavery lave ever fallen beneath
thy folds, and if they again wave
over the brave and protect the fair,
thy stars will find support in our
hearts, and shine all the brighter in
the armament OF liberty"

SAN FRANc1sco, NO. %.

SAN Francisco, NO. 29.
A masker from the fancy mas
querade ball at Turn Verien Hall on
Saturday night, who was alfred IN a
long black domino, ventured into
the street in his costume, and RAM
bled around the block. On the
corner of Geary and Stockton streets,
the facetious domino fell into the
hands of quintette OF footpads who
were holding a consultation under
an awning. They surrounded him,
and catching up the skirts OF his
domino, wound it around his neck
and endeavored to strangle him, but
he screamed so Justify that they
became frightened and ran off.
William Mestayer, of the California
Theatre, happened upon the scene at
the moment, and fired two shots at
the flying thieves, but his marks
manship was execrable and they
escaped. Two other attempts were
made to rob pedestrians since then,
but were unsuccessful. Not night
passes without somebody being
stopped and robbed, but the police
insist there is no more than the or
binary amount of crime in the city.

Baldwin, who was recently cinched
out of $40 by "bunko" sharps, has
had his revenge. Both Tibbetts and
Marion, the men who robbed him.
have been found guilty in the Police
Court.
Henry F. Jelly, the sole surviving
passenger of the Pacific, contradicts
the assertion that Captain Howell
took command of his ship in an in.
toxicated condition. He says the
Captain was ON the bridge when the
mooring lines were cast off; that he
afterward went into the pilot house,
and he himself steered the steamer
out of Victoria harbor.
George d. Chaplain, the popular
actor, who lost everything in the
Virginia fire, will be the recipient OF
a complimentary benefit at the Cali
fornia Theatre to morrow afternoon,
when many volunteers will add
their services to those of the regular
company.

RETIRED.

1t is automatically stated that r.
NJ. Daggett, has retired from the
managing editorship of the Terri
torial Enterprise. We are not aware Of
the cause prompting such step, or
who will be his successor, but in our
judgment the Enterprise needs just
such man as Daggett at the helm,
and will not easily supply the place
on its editorial staff. We might say
as well of Judge Goodwin or "Dan
De Quille," and it would be equally
true and expressed with the same
regrets.

THISTLE TEA FOR NEURALGIA

THISTLE TEA FOR NEURALGIA
A gentleman OF Norfolk, Virginia,
who had been tortured tor some time
with neuralgia, hearing of a noted
physician in Germany who invaria-
bly, cured that disease, visited him
for treatment. He was permanently
cured after short soiourn, and the
doctor freely gave him the simple
remedy used, which was nothing but
a poultice of tea made from our com
mon field thistle. The leaves are
macerated and used on the parts
affected as poultice, while a small
quantity of the leaves are boiled
down in the proportion of quart to
a pint, and small wine glass OF the
decoction drink before each meal.
