it understood that the said land

Norwich, and this action upon the
part of both parties, make it look

alumni, who since their graduation
have become prominent in military
circles. A second meeting of the
citizens was held on Thursday even

to endeavor to purchase the land
upon which the old South Barracks
were located and lease the same to

On Thursday Of last week, after
we had got our paper nearly struck
off we learned of very serious &C.
cident which happened to Mr.. j.
w. Pickett. He and Mrs. E. Dut.
ton and Mrs. q. A. Browning, were
out driving in d covered carriage
and stopped and left the carriage,
when on top of the first bill on the
road from Web. Davis to the river
road, near the head of Fairlee Pond.
The horses started and Mr.. Pickett
sprang to catch the off horse, being
upon that side, and the horse sud
denly started forward, probably be-
ing frightened, and kicked Mr..
Pickett, breaking the left leg above
the knee. The horses ran with the
carriage, and Mrs. Browning went
on on foot for help. A hay wagon
was procured, a straw mattress
placed in it and Mr.. Pickett was
brought to the Trotter House.
Meantime Mrs. Browning had
brought the news here. Drs. Doty
of Bradford, Hosford of Oxford,
Watkins of Newbury and Carbee of
Haverhill had been sent for, and all
of them arrived at the hotel soon
after Mr.. Pickett was brought
there. An examination showed
that the bone was broken diagOn-
ally across so that sharp point
was left which had penetrated out
through the skin of the leg. The
fracture was reduced after admins.
tering ether, and the patient is now
doing as we'll as could be expected.
Mr.. Petckett's wife was at the
Sugar Hill house, Lisbon, and
she was sent for at once and arrived
BY the next mornings train. The
horses ran with the carriage till
they began to descend the hill
towards the main road where the
carriage was upset and pretty
thoroughly demolished, and the
horses fetched up at Mr.. John STRAIT
toms, The team was from the livery
stable of Stevens & Libbey.

The Financial Question.

AS an indicator ofthe public pulse,
on the financial recommendations Of
the President and Secretary Sher.
man, who urge Congress to reopen
the whole financial question, we give
below the resolution offered by Con.
gresham Fort, on the second day of
the present session:
Resolved, That all attempt to with
draw or change the legal status and
quality of any of the paper money
issued by the United States, or re-
open by legislation the currency
question, sealed by decisions of the
Supreme Court, and universally
adopted and approved by the people,
would be injudicious and mischiev.
ious, and could only result in dis.
turbing business and retarding re-
turning prosperity, and this House
is emphatically opposed to any such
legislation. Referred.
The President says now that he
hardly expects his suggestion will be
followed by Congress.

They DifEer q Little.

Presiden. Hayes and Secretary
sherman differ a little with reference
TO their. recommendations on the
question Of finance. This isdifficult
to explain, in the light Of the fact,
that they have been working in part.
ncrship for the past three years
Some are disposed to think i. alittle
piece Of job work, in which the AID.
ministration is trying to meet the de-
mands, on thisquestion, coming from
the East as well as the West. The
President fishes for the national
banks, and Sherman SO baited his
heoks that he expected to catch the
Grcenback element; but it is not
working smoothly by any means
Many Republican leaders are openly
condemning the course taken. In
fact the general feeling Of the people,
Of both the great parties is, that the
financial question ought to have q
rest for the present. The President
and Secretary have both acknowledg.
cd their mistake, but it is too late to
mend now. The Democrats have
acted wisely 80 far in lettingitalone.
This was certainly a bad time for the
President and Secretary to air their
peculiar notions on finance. With
reference to the Presidents sugges.
ton on this question, we give below
the criticism Of rabid Republican
paper, namely the Chicago Inter.
Ocean, which indicates the public
pulse. 1t says: But, whatever the
origin of the suggestion, it is a blum
der so palpable, SO entirely unneces-
cary and ill-advised that it seems
amazing that he should commit it."
