Editor Herald:
The spirit brOOded on the waters,
and the dry land appeared" This
was the announcement when the world
was born, and peace dwelt upon its face.
How desolate and ruined it has been
since, may be traced in the history of
nations under the rule of ambitious
and reckless men, whose spirits knew
no moderation or justice, caring
only for self though infamous fame
blaekened the pages of history with
their name. After the blighting desc
iatlon Of mock Republican rule for
years, when darkness covered the face
Of the great deep, and light and hope
had gone out, the spirit of a noble
patriotic President ventures forth with
the olive branch of peace waving thro'
the North and South and heraldine
miienium of fratnrnaT peace and
good will to all men. That spirit is
infused through the masses, a jubilee
has come, hosannas are sounded, CON-
hdence rules the hour, and united
people honor and applaud Mr.. Hayes,
compliment his noble wife. a woman
worthy the President of the Republic.
This is a noble spectacle, a grand ne
ccssity. and is unprecedented in the
history Of the American nation. Here.
from these heights of Mt. Windy. Sc
cluSsd as they are, i send my greeting
and say all honor to the good noble
President and his cOmpatriOts in the
good work. And now, let me deyiate
little by simply saying bargain is a
bargain. We agreed to the commits
sion, and by the honorable compact
entered into, we ought not complain.

minded man worthy the title and hon.

Why Men arc Drunkards.

PoISr PLEASANT, Sept 18th, 1871
Itis strange perhaps TO a number Of
persons where all drunkards come from
as all babes are sober. II reminds me Of
what | once heard a man say conce
ing lewd women and grey horses, he
said he had never in his life, saw mean
girl. nor a grey colt, and never cav a
drunken infant, hence the comparison.
/ will now offer a few ideas of where
/ think drunkards spring from. First,
it is common thing and at the same
time, a very wrong one for men to buy
intoxicating liquors, and call up. all
hands, boys and any, (using rather a
slang phrase) TO take drink, and the
boys thinking it all right, as men were
doing so, they walk up and take, per-
hsps their first dram, which all persons
do before they become drunkards.

Having purchased stock of new
top and open buggies in New York
before the change in their partnership
was decided upon, Mrs. NJ. Israel &
Co. are now offering the buggies at a
sacrifice, as the stock must be got rid
of. Buggies usually sold for S1OO
and upward may now be procured for
$50. A rare opportunity is thus pre-
sented to those desiring vehicles of
this description, and it should be en-
braced at once, as the offer will not
be long available.

WednesdaH evening about half past

Wednesday evening about half past
q o'clock, two young colored men,
Clement Ross and Daniel Walton, had
a quarrel and fight about a woman, at
her house on Lessard street, near the
railroad. Ross being the stronger,
gave his antagonist a severe drub-
bling, but the latter soon got in his
work by assaulting Ross with a razor,
cutting him on the forehead and in
the left side of the stomach. inflicting
severe but not necessarily dangerous
wounds. Walton was arrested, re-
leased ON bond, then re-arrested, and
is now in Jail. Under the treatment
of DR.. Jno. E. Duffel, young Ross is
doing well, and his speedy recovery
is anticipated.

At last the post-office agony is over,
and Mr.. w. G. Wilkinson has bee n
made happy by receiving notice of
his appointment as Mr.. Fobb's sue
cessor. The selection is one upon
which the people as we'll as the ap-
pointee are to be congratulated. No
more competent or efficient man could
have been chosen for the position,
with the duties of which he is per-
fectly familiar, having frequently
served in the capacity of assistant
postmaster. Mr.. Wilkinson promptly
executed his official bond of $4,000
and forwarded it to Washington to-
day. His commission will doubtless
be here within ten days, when he
will at once assume possession of the
office.

The proposed mass-meeting at the
Courthouse Saturday night to in
dorse candidates for town offices was
a fiat failure, scarcely half-a-dozen
persons attending, exclusive of the
parties who originated the movement.
The failure of the citizens to respond
was probably due to suspicion that
the motives of the prime movers in
the affair were not entirely disinter-
ested.
