Mr.. TiIden Withdraws.

Mr., Tilden sent letter to the
Delegates from New York in the
National Democratic Convention,
withdrawing his name from the list
Of Candidates. He says:
"Having now borne faithfully my
full share of labor and care in the
public service, and wearying in the
marks OF its burdeps,I desire moth
ing so much as an honorable dis
charge. [ wish to lay down the
Eonors and tolls of even quasi party
leadership, and to seek the repose Of
private life.
"In renouncing denomination
for the presidency 1 do so with no
doubt IN my mind as to the vote of
the State OF New York or of the
United States, but because | be-
lieve that it is a remuneration of re-
election to the presidency. To
those who think my nomination and
reelection indispensable to an efiec-
tual vindication Of the right Of the
people to elect their rulers, viola
ted in my person, l have accorded
as long a reserve of my decision as
possible, but l cannot overcome my
repugnance to enter into a new
engagement which involves four
years of ceaseless toll.
"The dignity Of the presidential
office is above a merely personal
ambition, but it creates in me no
illusion; its value is as great pow
er for good to the country. 1 said

therefore, from fresh experience, how
great the difference is between Gid
ing through an official routine and
working out a reform ofsystems and
politics, it is impossible for me to
contemplate what needs to be done
in the federal administration with

ties Of the undertaking. If sum-
moned by the suffrages Of my coun-
trymen to attempt this work l shall
endeavor, with Gods help, to be

viM the gloss and freshness Of youth.
Thin hair is thickened, falling hair
checked, and badness often, though
not always, cured by its use. Moth
ing can restore the hair where the
follicles are destroyed, or the glands
atrophied and decayed. But such as
remain can be saved for usefulness
by this application. Instead of foul
ing the hair with a pasty sediment, il
will keep it clean and vigorous. Its
occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances
which make some preparations dan
gerous, and injurious to the hair, the
Vigor can only benefit but not harm
it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desir-
able. Containing neither oil nor
dye, it does not soil white cambria,
and yet lasts long on the hair, giving
it a rich, glossy lustre and grateful
perfume.

At Rest.

AC heSG.
Mrs. Edward F. Griswold passed qui-
city away on Wednesday morning, the
10Th inst, after an illness of many
months. In the early spring of 1879
she had an attack of lung hemorrhage,
from which she rallied, and was pretty
well through the summer, but in the
fall a. cough came upon her and she
gradually failed until some ten days
ago, since which time her death has
been looked for at any hour. For many
weeks she had been aware of her con-
dition-that her stay here must be very
brief,-but her implicit trust in her
Heavenly Father was never shaken,
and although weak in body she was
strong in faith to the very last, even
longing to go and be with Christ, which
is far better.
Mrs. GriswOld was known to a wide
circle of people through her wonderful
gift of song. Those who have ever
heard her can never forget the exquisite
pathos with which she rendered hel
songs; and especially was this true OF
her church singing, through the medi-
um of which so many Christian souls
have been comforted and lifted Heaven
ward as by prayer. Who can doubt
that she is now singing the sweeter
songs of Redeeming Love.

M. E. Smith Arrested for Fatal Abor-
ton.
A horrible story comes from johnson
to the effect that Flora Heath, a girl
living with her mother and attending
the Normal school there, died Monday,
and that pOst-mortem revealed a
double butchery with most barbarie
mangling. The girl had lived the past
five weeks with DIR. M. E. Smith, a
homeopathic physician, and sent note
to her mother Saturday, informing her
of her sickness. Her mother found her
very low and took her home. Flora
then said that DR.. Smith had given her
chloroform, and when she revived she
felt as though she had been torn to
pieces. Smith is in Hyde Park jail
awaiting examination. Feeling is rep
resented as very bitter against him. He
formerly worked in the scale shops in
this place, married daughter of Luke
Buzzell, and we think read medicine
with DR.. Houghton. He had the name
here Of being dead beat.

Important Decisions.


There were several important deci-
sions given at the late term of the Su-
preme Court in this place, of which the
pare record elsewhere gives hardly a
mint to the general reader. In the case
OF the Philadelphia Fire Association
against the Merchants Bank of this
place, for instance The lower court
found that the signature of Charles IT.
Green upon that famous note was gen.
ulne, and therefore the Fire Association
could not collect the amount of the
Bank because of their endorsement
The reversal of this decision by the
higher court sends this remarkable case
back to the county court for a new trial
1t rather adds to the interest if not the
complication of this matter when If i,
remembered that while one jury found
this signature genuine, another iurv in
the same court convicted E. D. Honkins
of its forgery, and the latter is nov,
awaiting new trial on exceptions!
Another rather important case TO,
this state was Morrison against Darling
By the decision of this court Vermont
rivers are not public highways, an6
parties have no right to float logs in
them through other peoples land.
In the case of Barnet against Abbot
and others, bondsmen were discharged
because they were not on the bond th,
year of alleged embezzlement, but tn.
year after.
In the case of Cade VS.. Dodge, Hall &
Switzer of this place were interested
They put furniture into hotel at Bar

for security. These subscribers repudi
ated their gifts, and the court hold

The Gulf Operation.

The operation of washing down the
big bank near Mr.. Bagley's, and throw
ing the dirt into the gulf opposite, is
quite novel. At this writing the bank
looks as though Connecticut river had
run through it after big freshet. The
work is being carried on night and day,
the river water being used in the pro-
cess. A large plank spout has been
sunk under the highway, and carries
all of the matter, which is mud and wa
ter, emptying the same into the gulf.
1t will be nice thing when it is all
done; but it looks to US now as though
it were a job that might last some time.
If this is a private speculation, all
right; if it is done lat the village ex-
pense, it is all wrong. Our town has
sunk money enough in that place al
ready.

Lunenburg.
The gable end of Benjamin Silsby's
barn was blown off in the gale of Mon
day night.
Last Friday as Van English and Mrs.
Green were out driving, the horse be-
came frightened at an umbrella, and
ran furiously, throwing both persons
out and injuring Mrs. Green about the
head. The carriage was completely de-
molished, and the horse hurt some.
Last Friday night about midnight
our villagers were aroused by the ring
ing of the bell and cries of fire. Upon
examination it was found that the front
room in the chamber of the Methodist
parsonage was in flames. Plenty of
willing hands extinguished the fire after
hard fight. The fire caught from a
paper that was over hole in the Chin
ney, sparks falling upon a bed. Mr..
Winslow's goods were uninsured, and
the loss is about S75:
We had a beautiful concert last Sab
bath evening, from. about 80 male bobo-
links, all perched in one apple tree in
this village-sending forth praises to
their Maker with their utmost power.

About Z o'clock last Monday evening,
people began to assemble at the resi-
dence of Judge Gray, and after some
40 had assembled, a procession was
formed, marching direct to the U. P.
parsonage, a wheelbarrow in the rear
with large roll of Brussels carpeting,
a surprise for the Rev. J. B. Clapperton
and wife. The carpet was carried into
the room for which it was designed
lit being all fitted) and the company
crowded around, when a formal pre-
sentation was made by Judge Gray.
Among other remarks he stated that it
was not presented because they believ-
ed them needy and unable to procure
the necessaries, or even the luxuries of
life, but because they wished to present
to them some token of esteem and ap-
probation of their understanding
placed so conspicuous that it would be
constant reminder of friends. The
Reverend responded in his usual happy
manner, with anecdote and illustration,
and heart overlooking with gratitude.
The surprise was perfect and complete.
Great credit is due A. Cochran and
Mrs. s. Kimball of Boston, for the beau

The case of Mrs. Willis Palmer,

The case of Mrs. Willis Palmer,
who died in this place last week, is one
of interest at least to medical men.
She was afflicted with dropsy, and was
tapped for relief from the accumulation
of watery fluid fer the first time in 1873.
In one year after she submitted to a
similar operation, and subsequently
with increased frequency until she died,
in all 80 times, removing the enOr-
nous amount of 855 pounds. A post
mortem revealed tumor the size of q
two-quart pan. She was great suffer-
er for years, but bore her trial will

was buried at Newbury, where Mr.
