Col. Andrew Potter of that village has
received by express from John Rows
don of Dayton, Washington Territory
sword which he lost at the battle OF
Piedmont, Va, June ), 1864, under
Gen. Hunter. Col. Potter, who COM
manded Massachusetts regiment, was
wounded in the engagement, the ball
passing between the bones of the leo
below the knee; and his sword taken
from him at the time has never been
heard from until short time ago, when
correspondence with Mr.. Roysdon be-
gan aud led to its reception as above.
The sword has Col. Potter's name EN-.
grayed upon it, together with his for

a RcX at Every Stroke.

Ia the recent parade Of the trades
unions there were several banners
bearing such inscriptions as: Use No
Goods Put Up in Machine Made
Boxcs!' and Boycott Machinc-Made
Boxes, or Let Good Men Starve!"
George Blair, the socialist agitator and
boXmaker, was asked yesterday what
grounds there was for opposition TO
machinc-made boxes.
About ten years ago." he replied,
there was no such thing as q machine
made box. Nowadays, in some trades,
there is no such thing as Il handmade
box. Formerly the knocking together
OF small boxes for soap, oil, etc, was y
trade by itself, at which nearly five
hundred men in this city made fair
wages. The wood was cut out by ma
| chinery and the wOrkmen nailed the
pieces together. About 1874 some man
improved considerably upon Il machine,
which hammered in at one blow all the
nails on one side of the box. Since then
improvement has followed improve
ment, until now you pour kcg of
nails at the top of the machine. and q
boy feeds the wood in at the bottom.
All that the boy does is to put in the
right pieces and in proper order, the
machine doing all the rest.
The machine works SO well and so
fast that the men have been driven out
of the business by boys. the price of
such work having dwindled until no
man can support himself at it. In 1873
the Standard Oil company paid So for
knocking together one hundred boxes
Thanks to tho machine it now gets the
same work done for II cents. The
work of mailing the boxes together
costs less than the nails used. The
boxes l speak of are used to put oil
cans in, and many measure twenty in
ches in length, ten inches in height,
and fourteen inches in width The
Standard Oil company saves 4 fortune
every year by the use of these ma
chimes, and so it is with soap boxes,
some starch boxes, etc; in fact, every
sort of box that is made in very large
quantities of one particular size. In
the meantime the men who used to
look upon boxmaking rs their business
want to know what they are going to
do"
Are the handmade boxes much
better than those made by machineryP"
Certainly; but the difference is not
great enough to offset the cheapness of
machinc-made goods. In mailing q box
together man will not send the nail
through knot or into q rotten bit.
The machine knows no better Still,
as say, the difference in price is ire
mendous, and the machine is bound to
make further irroads into the business.
My class of work does not REQUIRE it
yet. but it may some day. By asking
consumers to boycott goods that are
put up in machine made boxes they
hope 10 delay the day when every COM
mon box will be turned out by machin-
cry. confess that while sympathizc
with the men, and realize that the in
PRODUCTION OF the machine is taking
bread and butter out of their mouths,
l do not see how they can fight against
1t any more than against any other la
bor-saying machinery. But the five
hundred Doxmakers now out OF work
feel SO badly used that they can not
help uttering some sort of n protest.
even though they know it is useless"

Brattleboro, Jan. 10Th 1886.
SITTER JoHN:-
We were very much surprised by an
article in Yesterdays PhGnsX headed
"a pardon for Waite, stop the
Outrage" Surprised that our esteem
ed friend of the Phoenix should show
so vindictive spirit as to claim that
the shortening the time of confinement
to which prisoner had been sentenced
by the court, by few months, even if
the pardon was granted to allow Il dy-
ing man to spend his last moments in
the bosom of his family, "would be an
outrage on the moral sense of the COM
munity," and still more surprised that
our worthy friends had not taken the
trouble to step across the street to the
Office of the District Attorney and
learn something about the case they
were writing about, before threatening
his cXcellency Governor Pingrec with
compelling him to Withhold action on q
petition for the pardon of United
States prisoner. S. NJ. Waite is in
prison on a sentence of the Circuit
Court of the Uuited States for the dis
trict of Vermont. Not for wrecking a
bank, or for embezzlement of its funds.
Bnt for making a false report of the
condition of the bank to the comptroll-
cr and the bank examiner, which report
had to be attested as correct and sworn
to by some of the directors as well as the
acting cashier, Waite. TO this charge
he plead guilty, and the only discre-
ton the court had in regard to his
punishment was as to time. The stat
ute says imprisonment for not less than
or more than 10 years. The court
fixed the term in his case at 6 years.
And as good medical authority as there
is in this county, expressed the Opin-
ion at that time, that he probably would
not live out that time. Now the only
man in the United States who can short
| cil tlldt tlliC oliS va CACSpu SuIii tiCuit
as the law allows prisoner for good
behavior, is the President of the United
States, Grover Cleveland. If he in the
goodness of his heart should conclude
to shorten the time by faw days OF
months to allow dying man to pas
away in peace in the BOSOM of his
family. We do hope our friends of the
PhGnix will not turn the whole force
of Windham county on his devoted
head after shaking it so threateningly
at onr worthy Governor, who can ne
moae shorten his time than orr fricnd
of the PhGniX can prevent pardon
if the President thinks it a case descrv.
ing of his executive clemency.
Justice.
