The people of this village were startled
about o'clock on the morning of the 18th by
the explosion of 'rendrock" cartridge near
the hotel and A. Muzzey & Sons store. Many
lights of glass were broken in the hotel win

store. The damage done to Muzzy's store
was about $40 by breaking windows, show
case glass, and knocking lamps and bottles of
medicine from shelves. These parties are
waiting for the men who fired the cartridge
to call and settle the damage to save prosecu-

The l03d anniversary of our independence
did not pass unnotieed by the inhabitants of
our quiet town; for, while some attended Gel
ebrations in other places, large number of
citizens and members of the different schools
assembled in the beautiful grove near the res
idenee Of G. w. Ames, south of the village,
and enjoyed very pleasant picnic. A very
excellent programme, consisting of music
recitHtions and dialogues, proved highly en-
joyabla to all present. Even Uncle Sam"

aud We think all went home well pleased with
the manner in which they had spent ''the

The great Talmage is sweeping everything
before him in England, and Americans now
have an excellent chanceto turn the laugh on
their British cousins on the point of running
after sensations and toadying to distinguish
ed () foreigners, which the English people
have always claimed to be distinctive Amer
lean popularity and weakness. Last Sunday
Mr.. Talmage was in London and preached in
the great Agricultural Hall to two congrega-
tions of 10000 people each The despatch
says: Thousands upon thousands of persons
thronged the streets leading to the hall for
miles, almost blockading the passage of vehi-
Giles and pedestrians. Many people were
crushed and DIR. Talmage's carriage was al
most demolished by the crush of the great
crowd, every individual in which was anxious
to see the distinguished American preacher.
His presence here is creating furore through
Great Britain" When the first service was
over Sunday afternoon the hall was cleared

had been unable to get in at the beginning

FoREIGN FOURTH or JULYs. Most foreign
nations have festival of their own answer
ing to the Fourth of July, and some of these
marked days symbolic aptly enough the char
actcr of the races which celebrate them. The
nearest approach to the American feast Of
fireworks" is the burning Of Guy Fawkes in
England on the 9Th of November, a day
which would certainly have preciptated the
great explosion Of lG4l, with results tenfold
more disastrous, had the famous gunpowder
plot been successful. Both the religious fer
yor and the political enthusiasm Of Ireland
are represented by the honors paid to the L eth
March as St. Patricks day. Italy, divided
and priest-ridden for ages, still supplies the
want of any great State festival by observing
those of the church but the union of Ger
many has given the Teutonic race "A rallying-
point in the Sd July, when the great day of
Sadowa ended forever the pretended suprem-
acy of Austria Sweden still remembers with
quaint, old-world observances the day when
Gustavus Vasa's emergence from the mines
of Dalecarlia terminated the reign of terror
that had so long desolated Stockholm. Rus
sia pays twofold reverence to the 18th Febru-
AIRY, which witnessed the accession of the
present car, in 1852 and the serf-emancipa-
ton of 1861. The South American republics
still pay grateful honors to the anniversary of
their deliverer BOlivar's browning triumph
over Spanish despotism at Ayacucho; and
nearly every great city in Brazil has one of
its principal streets named after the LIST of
March, on which occurred the death of their
great enemy, Lopez, the tyrant dictator of
Paraguay.

The lawn party held by the ladies of the
Congregational society on the evening of the
4th proved success in every respect, though,
apparently, money making was less an object
than having right down good time" The
ample grounds surrounding the dwelling of
DIR. c. S. Clark were well adapted to the pur-
pose; and the tents of the Estey Guard be-
ing called into requisition for sheltering the
refreshment tables and various other attrac-
lions, the grounds being abundantly lighted
with torches and Chinese lanterns, and the
Brattleboro band lending their best efforts to
the OCCASION, nothing that could he reason
ably desired was wanting, To the general at
fractions were added special features in the
shape of stereopticon exhibition, Punch
ana Judy show, etc. The net receipts
amount to nearly $40.

TERRIBLE STORM IN THE NORTHWEST. A
section of the Northwest, including southern
Dakota and northern Iowa, and parts of Min
nesota and Wisconsin, was visited by de-
structive tornado last Thursday afternoon,
which destroyed great amount of property
and many lives. 1t was almost equal in Sc
verify, though differing in nature to the re-
cent cyclones in Kansas and Missouri. Build
ings were moved from the foundations. and
in some cases demolished, large trees broken
down. and growing crops blown clean from
the ground. Much damage was also done by
an excessively heavy fail of rain and hail and
by lightning The hail stones in some
places were as large as hens eggs, and the
rainfall at st. Paul MINI, reached a depth
of five inches. The storm appears to have
been most severe in Minnesota, assuming at
Redwing the character of a cyclone, and max
ing fearful havoc. Several persons were kill
ed at Vasa, one by lightning and the others
by falling buildings. Among the latter was
an orphanage which contained - inmates, of
whom three were killed and ! 7 injured The
total damage by the storm will reach over IA
million dollars and score or more lives.
Some portions of Minnesota were again Wis
tied on Sunday with heavy rain and hail
storm, which did considerable damage to
crops.

MINOR NOTES.

President Hayes never smokes, and so has
no segars to offer his guests when he receives
them ON the southern portico of the White
House.
Mr. Nordhoh says that President Hayes
was the greatest gamer of the recent session
of Congress- and that he is now the real head
of his party.
Senator lack Chandler is ready to furnish
100000 of the money necessary to take care
of the United States marshals during the re-
mainder of 1879, and the rest of the money
will be easily obtained.
Imagine quiet, amiable, gentle-voiced
man, reserved in his bearing, fascinating in
manner, and handsome in appearance, fully
six feet tall, about forty-eight years of age,
hair just turning gray face smooth, features
refined, eyes blue, and you have an excellent
likeness of Senator Butler, of South Carolina
The indianapolis journal remarks that
eve haven't heard much talk lately about
the presidents weakness from either par
ty."
The rumor that the name of JEFF Davis
would be presented to the Mississippi Legis-
lature as a candidate for the U. S. Senate is
authoritatively contradicted.
The outlook for the Republicans in Ohio is
considered good.

The Present state of the silver Cues.


There are symptoms of great and rapid
changes in European opinion on the question
of mono-metalism. The idea of excluding
silver from monetary uses is already as good
as abandoned, and there are grounds for be-
lieving that most of the great commercial ma
tions may be brought to act in concert in re-
storing silver to the position which it held
from the earliest dawn of civilization down to
n recent period. If silver can be restored
with the general concurrence of the trading
nations of the world, it is prudent for our
government to wait and unite in an effort to
fix common ratio of value between the two
metals.
The two European nations which have most
fully committed themselves to mono-metalism
are beginning to waver. We of course refer
to England and Germany. The subject has
recently been discussed in the imperial par
liaments of both nations--in the British par
Lament ON the question of Indian finance,
and in the German reichstag on the question
of further sales of silver. In the British de-
bate no voice was raised against continuing
the silver standard in India, although the
present depreciation of silver causes great
losses to British merchants in the rates of ex-
change. Mr.. Goschen, the highest authority
on questions of this kind, argued that the de
preston of silver is temporary, that it has
reached its lowest point, and that that metal
VIII probably recover its former value The
silver inundation from Germany has ceased
the American mines prove less productive
than was eXpected the enormous capacity
of India to absorb silver shows no signs of
diminution. The causes of depression hav-
ing ceased to operate, Mr.. Goschcn expects
rise in the price of silver bullion In accord
ance with his views which nobody undertook
to dispute, it was decided to make no change
for the present in the coinage laws for India
Silver is therefore to be the legal standard of
value in the most populous section of the
British empire.
In Germany there is a reaction in financial
circles against the costly experiment of sub
shutting gold for silver. The expressions in
this sense were deemed by Lord Odo Russell
the British minister, important enough to be
made the subject of a special communication
to his government. The pride of the Ger
man government will prevent an acknowl-
cdgemont of its mistake by a re-establishment
of the double standard but the sale of silver
has been suspended, and it is expected that
there Will be an enlargement of the limit to
which silver is legal tender. Had Germany
foreseen the results of its experiment it would
not have yentured to try it. There is an evil
dent reaction throughout the world in favor
of silver, and its price is likely to be consid-
erably enhanced within the next three years
1t would be wise for all governments to pro-
coed with caution i'll their coinage legislation
until the violent oscillations in silver have
been arrested and it RECEIVERS stable euui-
librium.

At the recent international Congress at
Paris, on the subject of Il ship canal across
the isthmus of Panama for the purpose of
uniting the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific,
NJ DE Lesseps presded-the man who pro-
jected the Sucz canal, by which the waters of
the Rcd SEA were connected with the Medi-
tcrrancar, and carried the enterprise to a sue
cesoful termination. The distance from ocean
to ocean IN the narrowest part of the isthmus
of Panama is but thirty miles. BY the line
of the Panama railroad, which has been in
successful operation for some years, the dis
lance is forty-oight miles This canal ques-
ton is a very old one, but the movement
which led to the recent congress commenced
only IN 1870, at the instgation of Lieut.. Uyse
OF the French navy. At the international
congress of geographers at Paris in that year,
the subject of piercing the American isthmus
was discussed, and an international Jury was
appointed to decide upon the best route, and
give its opinion on the financial and econom-
zeal possibility of the execution of the scheme
Toward the end of 1876 an expedition set out
from France, under the auspices of n society
of exploration, in command of Lieut.. Uyse,
and from that time till few months ago,
with the aid of Lieut.. Reclus and NJ Sosa and

The Boston Herald Those exquisitely
absurd people who attribute hard times in this
country to the contraction of the currency or
to the characterization of silver, do not pre-
tend to account for hard times in other coun-
tries where no such conditions have existed,
and where what are called good times" are
scarcely so favorable for the great body of
the people as are hard times here. But
evidence on every hand indicate that we have
seen the worst, and that nothing but prop
er adjustment of industry is required to give
employment to all. Human wants increase
as rapidly rs the power of production, and the
multiplication of machinery, instead of mean
ing that hands will be left idle, means that
bodies will be better fed, clothed and housed,
with growing class to supply the highest
necessities of mankind.

Tho facts in regard to the killing of the
Prince Napoleon by the Zulus appear from
all accounts to be as follows The young
prince, although an English cadet, was not a
regular member of Lord Chelmsford's staff.
He was guest at headquarters. He was al
lowed to go out on reconnaissance, accom-
panying party of troopers commanded by
Lieut.. Carey. The reconnoiterers were am
pushed by savages, just as they were prepar-
ing to mount their horses. At the first alarm
Carey and his troopers dashed off, leaving
the young foreigner to his fate. He tore
away a fragment from his defective saddle
while trying to mount, lost his horse, and was
killed and stripped of his clothing before his
fleeing companions recovered from their
fright or took time TO so much as think of
him. Next day, Gen. Marshall with six
troops of cavalry, rode out and recovered the
body, which was found stabbed with IS asse-
gal wounds and stripped of all but locket,
probably regarded by the zulus as a charm
The action of the British commander in al
lowing distinguished guest to ride into dan
ger with so small an escort, and the coward
ice of the escort in boiling at the first sign of
trouble without waiting to see if the Prince
was accompanying them, are alike severely
commented upon in all quarters.
