average age is about eighty years.

BEECHER's speech at Bethel was
devoted to discussion of the fnan-
cial question and the present depres-
sion in the business of this country
and of Europe. 1t was in no sense
a partisan or political argument but
rather an exhaustive calculation of
a subject that touches directly the
interest of every citizen Of two con-
tinents. He showed conclusively
and to the satisfaction of every fair
minded person present, whether Re
publican or Democrat. that the eX.
listing disturbance to business is the
natural result of the war between
the North and South and the conse
quent initiation Of the currency and
over production in all the depart.
ments Of trade and manufacture,
and of the enormous expenditures
upon new railroads, at initiation pric.
es, during the period of our great
civil war. In Europe during a peri
Cd of twenty-five years, there have
occurred four wars, the greatest that
have ever been carried on in the
world, namely, the Crimean war,
the Austro-Italian war, the war be-
tween Prussia and France, with all
their attendant over production.
The result is the same there as here
and the same argument applies in
both cases.
The speech was delivered in the
inimitable manner and with all the
of the distinguished speak,
er, and bristled with apt illustra,
tons and telling points. 1t was
listened to with the closest atten-
ton by an audience of six thousand
people, every one of whom seemed
to hear distinctly and endorse I'M
hesitatingly the arguments advanc-
ed,

with badly swelled face, the effects
of a blow received from a Mr.. Wood,
who found Mr.. Tilton in a berth in
a sleeping car with his (WOod's)

to be that, having occasion to leave
his berth, and being very sleepy, he
got into the wrong berth on his re-
turn, by mistake. This explanation
is regarded as being exceedingly

THE GREAT SHOOTING MAEcH
Concluded Thursday, excited vast
deal of attention, and created much
excitement. The result OF each shot
was telegraphed to the city, and the
various papers, issued extras every
hour all day. IT u real battle had
been in progress, there could have
been no more interest manifested.
The immense Irish population were
wild with delight over the prospect
on Wednesday, that their team
would carry off the honors, the
Scotch population were jubilent and
hopeful, while the Canadian and
australian New Workers all cheercd
their countrymen to the echo. But
they were all disappointed. Here,
rs in Ireland and England, the cool.
ness, steadiness, and practice of the
Americans, as well as the superior.
ity Of their arms, made them vic
tors. Field spOrtsmen affect IL
sneer at this careful workmanship
this deliberate, long waiting shoot
ing. "If II man has got to fix his
sights, and lie down in fancy posi-
tons, and draw long careful sight
what use is he in actual work
What could such man do against
Sitting Bull? Why don't they
practice from the shoulters When
| was a bvy the good markSmal
was he who could take II squirrel on
the jump, or deer on the rum
Thus the spOrtsmen who murder
game for the restaurants of New
York, and who use swivel shot. guns
They forget that this kind of shoot
ing is not for ducks, or pigeons, but
men. During the late war it viii
be remembered, Berdan's sharp
shooters could keep batteries silenc
ed by picking off gnnners at long
range, and many an officer upon
whose life the fate of field depend
ed was disabled by these thousand
yard marksmen. Aud as the coun
tries that are best prepared for war
have the fewest wars, there Ough
to be rifle clubs in every county il
the United States. There is M
more exciting and healthy sport
and so far as national defence goes
none more useful. The scene a
Creedmoor was exciting to degree
An immense concOurse of people
were present, and while each nation
atty expressed Enthusiastically, it
desire for it's own success, there wa
nothing but the best of feeling mani

The recent devotion of the Dem.
ocrats to the science of Arithmetic
is quite encouraging to the cause of
education. We have reason to eX-
pect that the impulse thus given to
the educational cause will result in
the course of half a generation in
Vermont's becoming solid Repub-
lican State. The proficiency of the
Democrats in figuring by fractions,
percentage and proportion, is quite
astonishing. Their inability to get
at the ratio of Tilden's pretended
income to his real income, had led
us to think that they were as little
progressive in the science of arith-
metic as they are in other things
which tend to progress; but their
success in showing the result of the
Vermont election even to the hun
dredth part Of one per cent. would
lead us to infer that they con tenn

THE reductions in the approprla'
ton for the Postofiice Department
are so large that the Postmaster
General will be compelled to send
circulars this week TO three hundred
towns which have made application
for money order Offices, stating that
owing to the reduced appropriations
these requests cannot be granted.
AS the law requires returns OF all
money order Offices to be made week
ly, a very considerable force is nee
essary to conduct the bookkeeping
of this branch of the service. The
House has so reduced the number
of clerks in this department that it
IS scarcely possible TO keep up the
books in The number of offices now
existing, and additional offices can
not, consequently, be created. 1t
will be necessary to reduce eXpens-
es in connection with the dead let
ter offices owing to reduced apprO'
priations. 1t is probable that the
Postmaster General will discontinue
the returning of dead letters which
do not contain money to their writ
ers. This is the only branch Of the
service which can be reduced with
out diminishing the revenue, and
the House has not left appropria.
tions enough to continue it.
