H. p. Muchmore of this city has a
horse iorty-one years old last spring. He
was captured on The plains wild while a
colt. He has always done hard labor until
one year ago. Since that time he has kept
him in the barn. The horse is in fair con-
dition and eats quite well for one of his age.
Mr.. Muehmore thinks he is good for hard
work yet, but has concluded to give him
his time as long as he lives.

not all thorns. Here and there a rose
springs up dlffusing its odor through the

The base ball tournament held at the
Windham County park last Friday was
fine success. The day, though somewhat
showery, was about as comfortable as could
have been selected in dog days, and the
games were witnessed bya large number
OF spectators, including many of the fair
sex. The RED Stars" of Bellows Falls
and the so KS" of Hinsdale entered the
arena at about 10 O'Clock, the various pre-
liminaries having been previously arran-
ged in satisfactory manner. The Red
stars had The first innings, but made "nary
score" The o KS then took up the bat,
but their success was no better. The re-
suit of the Red Stars second innings was
ditto, and the thing began to look as though
"whitewash" was the game; but the o KS
had streak of luck on their second in
nings and scored seven tallies. The Stars
next time scored one, and thence onward
gained slowly on their opponents Till on
the ninth inning the tallies were even.
and the o KS had received seven "wbite-
washes to the "Slars' three. ATler Daus-

taking breath, the "Stars" took their final
innings, but went out without a tally. The

final chance. They did win, too, by a stu

Little Of formal character transpired

many others in this street, was finely Gee
Grated. On High Street the illumination
was exceedingly credtablo TO the residents,
the dwellings and grounds Of o. j. Pratt,

tastefully lighted. The Goddess of Liberty
on the grounds of Wells Frost received the
compliment Of many cheers. Mrs. Char
lier, in the absence Of the Professor, showed
herself fully alive to the exigencies OF the
occasion, and the decoration and illumna-
ton of her grounds was very extensive and
elaborate. Passing down Green Street, the
residence of Col. Sawyer was gay with lam
terms arranged in a fanciful device. The
dwellings of j. w. Frost, Major JENNIE and
w. II. Chlds were connected by a contin-
nous line of lanterns, and the Majors mot
to, The bdyOnct rims" attracted much
attention, as did also the illumination of
J. j.. EStcy's house and grounds. DIR.
Gales residence presented a charming APP
pearance.
In thus sketching a few of the more
prominent features of the illumination 1t
should by no means be understood that we
have included everything worthy of mem
ton. At numerous points along the lihe
OF the procession fireworks were let off,
colorcd lights were burned, and sky rock
cts were sent trailing into the thick dark
ness overhead. The scene was an enchant-
ing one, and at times ii required an effort
to convince ones self that he was really on
terra fTfmd amid the usually quiet shades
of Brattleboro.
The procession itself presented an altrac-

transparencies were carried, among them
being lizard Tack" "Salt Horse, "-Sedg-

and keep the ranks well closed up,"-Sher-

Sans ReprOche!

When Sol Coleman first PRACTICALLY
advocated a system Of small profits on
cigars there vas weeping and wailing,
lsmentation, aud gnaahiug of teeth in
the camp Of the high-priced men. At
that time there was a sneer for a man
who bought a fve-cent cigar. 10 fact,
previous to that period there had never
been sold in this city a ~fve-cent cigar
ut for a gentleman to smoke. But a
change came. Mr.. Coleman found his
efforts appreciated; he was sustained by
a liberal aud discriminating public, and
as his trade increased he was enabled to
make arrangements of so advantageous
a nature with some Of the best manufac-
turers of cigars as to make it possible
for him to sell a cigar, with a pure and
unadulterated Havana filler, for Sc. The
high-priced men found their occupation
gone. Their anger found vent through
the channels Of petty m~eannesses and
ISLANDERS, and yet Sol Coleman does tie
largest trade in his line in the city.
Among his patrons are the best of our
citizens, gentlemen Of taste and culture,
who pronounce his goods the BEST.
he has risen to such a level in'public
esteem as to be above the venomous
spleen of e%nvious competitors, and in
spite of the "man who don't see how
1t can be dOne," now offers an I'm.

The nUptials OF Mr.. d. c. L~oewenstine
and Mrs. Leah A. Peterson were duly
solemuized by Rabbi Sam6eld, at ll9
Washington street, last evening. The
beautiful ceremony ofthe Jewish church
was performed in the presence of a large
assembly Of relatives and friends, who,
at its conclusion, promptly stepped for
ward to offer their sincere congratula-
tons aud good wishes. 1t was indeed
an occasion for such a demonstration.
The groom never looked more manly and
graceful than at the supreme moment Of
passing the ring and uttering the final
words OF his row.. The bride is a SPLEEN
%didlooking lady, Of the blonde type, just
above medium size and a faultlessly-chis-
eled face. She was dressed in a mauye
colored silk, with elaborate trimmings of
lace, ana very chaste and elegant Jew
elry.
Shortly after the conclusion Of. the
ceremony the large company present
was invited to the dining-room, where a
tempting and artistically.arranged sup
per, provided by Specht, was enjoyed by
all. The choicest champagnes flowed
freely and many a sparkling, foaming
glass was drained to the health and pros
perity Of the happy and fortunate couple.
The occasion was enIiveued by music,
and the hours Of reception, from seven
to ten, rolled by u%ncounted.
The guests were permitted to inspect
the bridal presents in a room set apart
for that purpose. All we're articles Of
elegant design and Of the most costly
character. A massive silver set was
from Jacob and Henry ~Loewenstine; a
heavy silver oyster bowl and ladies, by
Mr. aud Mrs. Schwarzenberg a splendid
clock and vases, by the employees of the
Loewenstine Brothers; a very pretty sill
yer set, by Mr.. and Mrs. S. Toube; silver
water pitcher, tray and goblets, by Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Danheiser, who were
also married yesterday; silver set Of
eight pieces, by Mr.. Sam May, and nu-
merous other articles not now remem-
beFed by our reporter. A small silver
box resembling a toy bank possessed
special interest, from the faat that Mr..
Loewenstine, when a newsboy, ten years
Of age, saved money to Guy this and
present it to his mother, and she has
lived to return it to him on his bridal
day.
The bridal couple leave to-day on a
trip to New Orleans, Mobile and other
Southern cities.

In the Second Circuit Court this lore
noon the Turpin habeas corpus case was
argued for the fourth time before Judge
Halsey by Mr.. King Poston on behalf Of
the messenger from Arkansas, McCarty,
and in beRalfof Turpin by I. W. Brown.
The question involved was as to the reg
ularity and formnlity of the warrant
issued by the Governor Of Tennessee for
the rendition of Turpin. After a full
argument by counsel Judge Halsey held
that the warrant issued by the Governor
OF Tennessee was insufficient to hold the
prisoner and ordered his discharge.
Judge Brown made a splendid legal
fight in the case, and did so as an act of
justice, without pay or reward, aud his
clear exposition Of the extradition ard
habeas corpus laws adds no little to his
brilliant reputation as u lawyer and an
eloquent advocate.
