A. Mr.. FISH has not furnished the note
containing this separate instruction, it Is
fair to infer that he is ashamed to furnish
it, His published statement, however, is
not flltfcring to our irrational pride. In lam
guage which maiden who had been the
victim of misplaced confidence might have
used. he conf,>S,s that he ha, been cliolcd,
and has for over two years been vainy
seeking to obtain satisfaction for the
wrong.
Gen. BUnVrrL has, since his return TO

the Nirguius being taken into santiago

There seems TO be no doubt that the New

We are sorry to notice the disposition
that prevails among some Of our contemporaries
who use every opportunity to laugh at Mr..
SAMUEL BOwLFs because, being convinced that
Mr. CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS would make a
better candidate aud better President than
any other man in this country, he never fears to
say so. For such cons,ancy Mr. BOwLrs ought
rather to be praised In this hckle and uncer-
tain age there are too few examples Of disin-
tcrcsted fidelity to make one II them subject
OF iocose criticism. Let our contemporary Of

for the statesman Of Quincy. and all generous
mirds will commend his courage even when
they do not concur In his opinion.

vote for him. He was able to ride two

Fire or Life Insurance in the oldest and
strongest companies in the country.
Squire Baker has sold his whole stage
business, stock, barns and house to the
Ellison Bros, one of whom has worked
for him number of years. Mr.. Baker
retires from this business after a good
many years of labor with the best wish
es of the inhabitants of Springfield and
the travelling public. The new firm are
young and energetic and will no doubt
make success in the business.
1t is rumored in Springfield that Hen

Herbert P. White of Weathersfeld, has
secured the services of General Butler
to defend him in his trial next month.

DARING RoBBERY.-Sunday evening
as L. H. Scriven, a conductor on the
Central Vermont railway, was walking
near the depot in Bennington, three dis
guised men sprang upon him from be-
hind a car, and while one choked him
to prevent an outcry, the others proceed
ed to rifle his pockets. Mr.. Scriven was
cboked until he became unconscious, but
he shortly regained consciousness and
heard one of the villains say, Let us
fix him, dead men tell no tales" follow
ed by thrust with knife, when he
again became unconscious, and the ruff
fans escaped. The knife was evidently
aimed at his heart, as he lay upon his
face, and but for its striking the left
shoulder blade would have caused death.
Mr.. SERVER was terribly bruised, and
during the night fears we're entertained
for his recovery. but he is now out Of
danger. The robbers got s4225. His
watch escaped them, having been thrown
out of his pocket when he was attacked
and was found in the morning. 1t i:
thought that these parties are portion
of the gang who have infested Benning
ton county and village for six month
past, whose leaders came to grief SOM
weeks since. There is no clue to th
perpetrators, and no cause can be as
signed other than robbery.
