Miss Belle Ray aud her teacher, which
now turns out to have been only few
words that originated through an out
burst OF temper on both sides. Each
lady made ample reparation to the other
and thus the matter nied. The circum-

SO slight an occurrence should have re-
ceived so much publicity, therefore we
take pleasure in making the above state

the public memory of tho Democratic Cop
perhead conspiracy against the Union, foil
ed in Indiana by the nerve and resource OF
be Republican Governor Morton. The
story about Mr.. Blaine has given him the
opportunity TO make thorough and salts
factory explanation. The accusations of
Mr.. Brlstow show only plot of Democrats
and whlskey Rings. The reduction OF the
Presidents salary brings veto which the
intelligence of the whole country applauds.
Aud now the plan to covor the President
with confusion because of his occasional alb
sence from Washington ends in one of the
most admirable and satisfactory messages
he has semitic Congress.
Ifany argument we're needed TO show the
mischieis Of possible Democratic restora-
ton, IL would be furnished by the total in
capacity and childish laundering shown by
the Democratic House of Representatives
during this session. 1t had an opportunity
that might have been shrewdly improved.
But there are probably very few Republic
cans who will regret that the Democrats
have had all this preliminary rope.

HEAVY FAILURE AT NORTH ADAMS,
MAss.-The heaviest failure that has &C.
Cured in Western Massachusetts, is that
of Harvey Arnold & Co., the well-knc wn
print manufacturers at North Adams,
which became known last Thursday.
They have employed OBS men, and done an
annual business OF $500, 900, taking the
entire product of five other cotton mills, so
that six mills are closed by this failure
Harvey Arnold & Co.'s print works, Gal
lup, Houghton & Smiths Beaver, aad
E. II. Arnold & Co.'s cotton mills at North
Adams, the Williamstown cotton manu-
featuring company at Williamson, Mass,
the North Pownal cotton manufacturing
company at Pownal, in this State. and the
Arnoldsville cotton mill at South Adams.
These ran over 1000 looms on print cloth,
and about 1900 employees are thrown out of
work. The total liabilities are roughly put
at a million and a quarter dollars. The
Williamstown manufacturing company
come of best, their net liabilities being
800, 900, they have property costing S4OO, 900,
and will pay in full 4; Gallup, Houghton q
Smith have $4,000 of liabilities, property
costing $2I4,O00 and will perhaps pay so
cents; the aggregate liabilities of Harvey
Arnold & Co. and the North Pownal man
uiacturing company will probably exceed
100000, and they have property costing
perhaps 81 $780, 900. The Adams National
Bank loses $4,000. The failure caused
great excitement throughout wide reeio

The Boston Journal thinks that every
day renders it more and more certain that
the "Great Unknown" about whom we
have lately heard so much, stands no
chance whatever in The Presidential con-
test, and for the reason that the people are
rapidly reaching the conclusion that the
nominee at Cincinnati will be either Mr..
Bristow or Mr.. Blaine. "If, says the Jour
nal, ''the delegates from New England go
into the Cincinnati convention in spirit
prompted by desire to secure the triumph
of the party at the possible sacrifice of some
personal feeling, there can be no question
that James G. Blaine Or Benjamin II. Bris
tow will be the nominee. We admire the
zeal that our friends in Maine exhibit in
supporting Mr.. Blaine. To be lukewarm
or Indifferent would be the basest ingraii-
tude on their part. But they must bear in
mind that to expect delegates from other
States TO be as red-hot for Blaine, 10 the
exclusion of the claims of Mr. BristUw, is
neither reasonable nor TO be expected.
They knoW Mr.. Blaine in Maine, they have
sum mered and wintered him, his execu-
tive talent has been impressed upon them
in hundred different ways. His services
are not forgotten by those who have watch
ed them closely. To others Mr.. Blaine,
distinguished as has been his position, is
not SO thoroughly known. TO claim that
Mr.. Blaine and only he can carry the coun-
try, invites an opposition before the battle
day arrives, and 10 do this is TO throw in
his path obstacles which are almost insur-
mountable. The friends of Mr.. Bristow,
who have faith in him, cannot gain vote
by assuming that unless he be nominated
there will be chaos in the ranks and deser-
tion 10 che ranks of our opponents. Mr..
Bristow is less known than a score of 9TH
er public men, and an effort has been made
TO seek support by claiming too much SUI
periOrity for him over others. Not one
charge has been made against him which
has not proved groundless, and no man
stands to-day before the public with bet
ter record. The Republicans can throw
away the great opportunity which is pre-
sented, or they can by discretion and for
bearance reap the reward which they mer-
II. There will be some feeling of regret on
the part OF the immediate adherents of the
candidates, whichever one succeeds, but
the great bulk of the Republican party
will feel satisfied with either Blaine or
Bristow. The attempt will be made at
Cincinnati to break the union between the
friends OF these gentlemen. The only hope
that exists to-day of securing a nomination
for the mythical Unknown, lies in the
chances that by adroit management both
BristOw and Blaine may be shelved.'

Mr.. Editor 1T seems that the question
"Who shall be the next Governor ?" is one
that has excited the politicians, particular
ly of this locality, for some time past.
These same politicians" have been manip-
u.ating things, and looking after the polit-
ical weather-co which months ago were
all made to point in certain direction, and
were supposed TO be so securely fastened
that it was impossible for them to be turn
ed by any current of public opinion which
was likely TO arise. Every thing being
found correct. they at once announced that
the Deacon was to be the next Governor.
But it now appears they they were a little
too fast in their statements, for, while they
had consulted the most approved political
soothsayers, they had utterly ignored that
element of power which, this present year
more than ever before, is likely 10 assume,
in both national and state politics, the place
it deserves. The people were entirely for
gotten. The humble citizen who dared to
vote according TO his own judgment was
considered among the things of the past.
But If one can judge from what he hears
on the street, in the workshop and on the
farm, the people have determined take the
matter into their own hands. They are de-
termined to have a candidate who shall
possess those sterling attributes of mind
and heart which we have heretofore sup
posed to be indispensable in one who was
TO occupy the "chair of state !" and such
an one they believe they have found in the
person of b. d. Harris man who, it is
acknowledged by every one, would bring
to the discharge OF the duties of Governor
those peculiar qualifications which would
be an honor, not onl Y TO the town and coun-
~, but to the state itself; a man whose on
ly disqualification seems TO be that he said
few kind words of poor old Greeley, yet
voted for the regular Republican nominee,
while at the same time he boldly asserted
(what those OF us less sagacious have since
learned with mortifcation) that there was
so much corruption in the party that a
change In its personnel was greatly to be
desired. So far as contributing to the cam
paign funds is concerned, we presume that
II. w. Clarke will remember that Mr..
Harris contributed literally to the funds of
the Republicans in their last campaign, as
he had done for years previously. In con-
clusion we may say that, although Mr.. Har-
ris has no paid canvassers in the field, and
lacks tho mobile Record as an organ" with
which he can food tue Slate, we believe
that could vote be taken to-day in this
town and county he would receive an over
whelmlng majority RS the peoples candi-
date for Centennial Governor.

Medical Society and J. r. Nelson of White
Mountain Medical Society were present and

A hearty vote of thanks was given TO Prof
E. E. Phelps for his preparation OF blanks
on epidemics. DIR. Phelps has labored
faithfully to prepare form of blanks that
will simplify the work OF physicians in
preparing the report on epdemcs, and it
is hoped that this plan will prove success
full in collecting the statistics of epidemics
in the Connecticut river valley. DIR. Nell

The Presidents message in reply to the
lmpudent resolution Of the House in regard
to the place in which he had discharged bis
executive duties is dignifed and conclusive.
He states the constitutional position of the
President upon the subject in the most con-
else and admirable manner; and in a doc
ument which accompanies the message he
cites the iDnumerable instances of absence
from Washington of all his predecessors,
except Lincoln, who was necessarily al
ways at the capital in consequence of "a
powerful rebellion" with which he had 10
deal. The President adds, what naturally
aroused the enthusiasm of the Republicans
and smote the Democratic majority, includ-
ing its Southern wing, which had thought
to entrap him by the resolution: "Had the
efforts Of those recently in rebellion against
the government been successful in driving
a late President OF the United States from
Washington, 1t Is manifest that he must
have discharged his functions, both civil
and military, elsewhere than in the place
named by law as the seat Of government"
This foolish and futile Democratic attempt
to iDjure the President, like:all the similar
efforts, has recoiled upon the party. The
charge about the use Of the secret service
fund has ended In showing the extent of
TWeed's Democratic frauds. The assault
hpon Senator Morton has merely refreshed

THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION AND
SUNDAY.-Two years ago the commission
in laying out the programme expressly
stated that the Centennial Exhibition
would be open during the reriod from
May 10 10 Nov. 10 from o'clock mornings
until o clock evenings, Sundays except
ed. 1t was the very first thought of the
majority that one Of the distinctive marks
of American civilization being the observ-
ance OF the Sabbath, the international fair
should be closed on that day. There is no
danger OF criticism on the part OF foreign
ers who may come TO visit us, whatever
may be their habits at home. Foreign gen.
tlemen will use every means in their pow
er 10 observe the customs OF the country
while they are in it. l wish to dictate TO
no one, but, as for myself, firmly believe
that the ono days rest in seven is founded
on natural law, and further than that, is
made binding by Divine authority. 1t Is
well 10 show the foreign nations the Amer
lean idea Of the Sabbath. Agassiz on being
asked what was the thing which most i'm
pressed him on his arrival in the United
States, at once answered that it was the
quiet of an American Sunday. Nothing
too earnest. can be said against the argu-
ments made in favor OF the yielding of the
commission. All have admitted that there
is fixed belief among immense masses of
our people in The Divinely-appointed Sab
bath; aid / shall raise my voice firmly

A BLOODHOUND AS DETEcTIvE-A re-
cent issue OF the London Times gives the
particulars of the horrid murder of little
girl in that city and the detection of tho
murderer, barber named Fish. The
wretch decoyed the child into his place,
outraged and then murdered her. He cut
up the body and attempted TO burn The
head and arms. Not being successful he
took the trunk Of the body and after wan
dering about with it for time threw it
over fence. The discovery of il caused
great excitement and indignation. A largo
reward was proclaimed for the arrest of the
murderer, and the police aud others we've
very active, but without avail. Finally a
man who owned II bloodhound took the
animal and let him smell of the body for
some time, and then travelled through sew
eral streets with him. At last he stopped
short Ia front of the shop of Fish aud re-
fused TO so farther. Upon the door being
opened the dog rushed up stairs, and in
the attic were found thellmbs of the child.
The terror stricken villain at once confess
ed everything. The reward was paid to
the owner Of the dog.

Tuesday evening was certainly "red
letter day" for the cause of temperance in
this village. In accordance with previous
announcement, Mr.. ]. X. Osgood, the cee-
brated Temperance reformer, held meet
ing in the town hall, and Notwithstanding
the threatening weather he was enthusiast
tically welcomed by crowded house. Mr..
John Robinson presided, and Mr.. osgood
spoke for an hour and half, holding his
audience spell-bound as he related his own
terrible experience, and went, step by step,
over the ground with which he is so famil-
lar. The enthusiasm of his bearers kindled
and increased as the speaker went on, and
at the conclusion of the address 40 persons
came forward aud signed the pledge. Ma
ny of those who signed were drinking
men, aud many of them were persons who
had never signed a pledge before. 1t was
unanimously voted TO adopt the REFORM
club pledge, and it is probable that the
temperance organization heretofore exist
ing here will be changed into "reform
club" and that the reform-club constitu-
ton will be adopted. Mr.. Osgood states,
with much satisfaction, that this meeting
was tho most enthusiastic aud the most
gratifying in its results of any which he
has ever held in a town of this size. Tho
congregational singing OH the occasion was
great success.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION OF DYNAMITE ON
THE JERSEY CITY PALIsADEs.-The brick
magazine of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western company on the Jersey City
palisades, stored with dynamite used for
blasting in the Bergen tunnel, blew up,
about halfpast 10 O'Clock, Saturday eve
ming, with terrific force, damaging dwell
ings and buildings within a radius of two
miles to the amount of between $50, 900 and
500 900 and killing one man. This single
casualty and the absence of dangerous in
jury to any person is something wonder
full. The windows of all houses in the
neighborhood of the heights were shatter-
ed, and, in several instances, bricks pierre
ed the wooden structures, tearing down
ceilings, breaking window -sashes, and de-
mOlishing door-posts; doors were blown
of their hinges, trees uprooted, and a
whole mass of earth in front of the maya
zine chiseled clearly out by the force of the
explosion. All the street lamps and the
lights in the houses as far as the New York
ferries were Instantly put out. A number
of houses were so shattered that they will
have to be rebuilt. In New York aud
Brooklyn the report was so loud that ev-
erybody supposed an explosion had occur
red in their immediate vicinity. The opin-
ion is general that spontaneous combus-
ton was the cause.
