10 the ground at an early hour on Saturday
morning last, together with a quantity of
fleming utensils owned by Mr.. Gould,
which were stored therein. The cause of
the fire is unknown, but some bones found
in the ruins caused the surmise that tramp

Preaident Haxes,a Visit.

II is announced that President Hayes
will leave Washington for Bennington on
Monday next, for an absence of about ten
days. He will be accompanied by Post
master General Key, Secretary of War Nc
Crary, and either Secretary of the Navy
Thompson or Attorney General Devens,
and will be joined at Bennington by Sec
rotary Evarts. The Presidential party will
remain three days in Bennington, after
which they will probably make a short
trip to New Hampshire, under the escort
of the gubernatorial party present from
that State. The President will then pay
visit to the home of Secretary Evarts at
Windsor, coming thence TO Brattleboro
and Fayetteville. While here he will be
the guest of his cousin, Mrs. w. II. Bige-
low of West Brattleboro.

Northern vs.. Southern Civilization.

AS disgraceful as were the recent riots 10
the various sections of the North in which
they occurred, there is no sense in declar-
ing, as many newspapers virtually have,
that they indicate state of society as bad as
that at the South in which occurred the
Hamburg and Kemper county massacres.
When calmly looked at, it will be seen that
there is no good ground of comparison be-
tween the two cases. In the enc case the
outrages were the result Of political and
personal animosities in the other, they
were the effect of threatened deprivation
of the means of subsistence. In the one
case, barbarities were committed of The
most cruel and fiendish description upon
innocent men, women and children, on no
provocation whatever; in the other, human
life was only sacrificed as result of moles-
tation, and even private property was re-
spected. Moreover, in the one case, public
opinion to this day upholds and sanctions
the outrages committed, and their perpetra-
tors 90 unpunished; while in the other,
the authorities and citizens at once organ
lied measures of resistance 10 the mob,
whose members have been arrested by
scores and hundreds, and the public opin-
ion demands their peremptory and condlgn
punishment. Where, then, is the similari-
ty between these two phases of civilization ?

THE BENNINGTON CENTENNIAL.
The Arrangements Nearly Completed.

grounds are pronounced by those who have
visited them as admirable The Cenlen-
NAL camp, fair ground field, some so
acres in extent, stretches from the road on
the east near the railroad crossing, west
toward Mount Anthony. The ground is
tipe turf, free from all Irregularities of
surface, and with just slope enough down
from the crest to tit 1t perfectly for service
as parade ground aud tenting place for
the militia aud veteran volunteers. Two
large springs furnish an abundant supply
Of water. Banquet, Grafton aud sleeping
tents of large dimensions have been erect
ed. The rear portion Of the field is assigned
TO the military and quasi military orgaul-
cations that are expected to he present. On
the right Of the camp, lying towards the
east, will he the tents Of the Vermont Vet.
Grams. Next TO the veterans will be the
tents of the visiting troops from New
Hampshire. Next to New IIamT shire will

Mrs. Edwin French, of this place, in
attempting 10 draw water a few days ago
from well near the house, was thrown
into the well by the breaking Of board
The water was several feet deep, but she
managed TO keep her head above the sur
face by clinging TO the pump pipe. There
was no person within sound OF her voice,
but the family dog, an intelligent and faith
full animal, went TO the well and looked in.
Mrs. French asked him, as she would have
asked human being, IL he could NOT get
help. The dog took in the situation in
SANITY, and bounded away toward The hay
field where Mr.. French was at work. Ar
rived there he made terrible uproar, and
persisted in his wild actions until Mr..
French, fearing that something dire had
happened, followed him to the well and
saved bis wife from drowning.

thirty-four years Of age. lie combined In
his personal appearance the Indian and
Spanish characteristics TO a marked degree,
but the savage instincts were strong in him.
lie might have had the best Of education,

wandering over The country and sometimes

lie served in the war and was distinguish
ed for daring bravery and great skill as

ty at times and fine sense of honor,

down 10 the level of common drunkard.
When his father died, his affairs, which had
been managed by confidential clerk, us

be in great confusion. Here young Osceo-

years of Osceola's life were embltlered with

passions, and he finally died in poverty,
the victim of drink.
There is believed to be considerable of

heirs, consisting OF two children Of sister

educated and well married, but died some
years ago, aud her husband has since de-
ceased. One of the children, a boy, was In
