the floor, embracing each other and
pledging kind remembrances. Others
shouted till they were too hoarse to shout
any more. Others sat down and wept.
The deliverance was so great that they
were completely overpowered. But q few
were, for some reason, not permitted to
go, and we deeply pitied them.
1t was near midnight before we became
calm enough to offer up our usual even
ing devotions. But when the roomful Of

by the quietness which ever follows pow

more than the usual number assembled
with us in the corner of the room where
we always gathered. The prayer was one
of overmastering thaukfulness. When
we remembered all the sufrerings through
which we had passed it seemed as if we
could never cease to be grateful. We
asked God for strength to bear every trial;
but we also implored with n fervor and
sincerity which few can realize, that he
would not allow our bright and vivid
hopes to be disappointed and us to be
dashed back from the paradise of liberty
And we asked with no little sulictude for
strength to continue in his service when
no longer confined within prison walls, so
that the precious possession we had found
in the darkness might not pass away in
the light; thus composed we lay down to
await the event.

There was hurrying around in the

of lights; discordant calling of names, n

we formed in the courtyard for the march
toward freedom. We fell into two lines
and when all was ready we passed again
into the Office, were carefully counted

CHAPTER NXNI.

A little before dark on the evening OF
the 18th Of March we were sitting around
the stove, laZily but not inditferently dis
cussing the siege Of Nicksburg, when an
officer entered in haste and gave the
strange order: GAN who want to 90 to The
United States fall into line and come to
the Office There was Il rush and u
scramble TO the middle of the floor, and no
line was ever formed more promptly. We
all believed that we were already in the
United States, but had no objection to lee
still more so; and it was with good
many questionings that we marched out
of the guarded room door, across the
courtyard, and as many of us as could
enter at once into the Office. The proper
officers were prepared with blank forms,
and they filled out rapidly the oaths of
parole binding the signcrs not to serve
against the Confcderacy until regularly
declared exchanged. Even when | saw
this good work progressing l feared that
the opportunity was only for others. To
test the matter | pressed forward and

'Thc engine thieves can't go;n but, to my

moment delicious hope thrilled through

The Republican county committee, of
which Col. Thad M. Chapman of Middle
barry is chairman and Mr.. NJ. F. Allen of
North Ferrisburgh, secretary, will hold
meeting soon to fix the date and issue
the call for the county convention. 1t is
quite likely the convention will be called
the week before the national convention,
that is, about the 18th or 18th of June.
Debate on the Mills tariff bill still
occupies the attention of the House.
The Democrats have decided to limit the
debate to II days, to hold two evening
sessions a week and to divide the time
between the speakers of the two parties.
The President has as yet made no NOM
ination of successor to Chief Justice
Waite. Friends of Minister Phelps are
strong in the faith that he will be the
nominee. The programme, according to
the Washington correspondents, is to
send Secretary Endicott to England in
Mr.. Phelps place and to make Patrick A.
Collins of Boston secretary of war.

amount. Attacks on the protective tariff
were aimed at the wages of the laboring
men. The protective tariff had vastly in
creased and diversified American manu-
factures, and made their economical null
tifOrm production a profound study
among the people of every State in the
Union. 1t had excited the brain power
of men of science and inventive faculties
and a great multitude of practical work.
ingmen had promoted their happiness
and thrift. New inventions had dimin-
ished the hours of workingmen and in
creased their wages, The busy race of
American inventors should not perish for
lack of friendly care. They were neces-
sary in peace and Indispensable in war.
The inventions in the arts of peace would
fill an encyclopaedia. In the diversity of
employment, resulting from protection,
American women have been elevated and
made much more independent. Largely
participating in the worlds useful
work, the fortunes of women would be
adversely affected by any step towards
the British goal of free trade. The Mills
bill, if enacted, would cripple many man
ufactures, destroy others, Increase the
revenue, and force sacrifice by farmers.
1t was free surrender of the border
markets to those who would not allow
Americans to fish or cut bait within three
miles of their shores. He hoped if it
reached the Senate the latter would so
amend it that the tariff would be Ameri-
can not British.

IT WAS A SOLID TRAIN.

Railway reporters occasionally witness
interesting spectacles at the Central-Hud-
son station, but yesterday afternoon one
out of the ordinary line was noted.
During the afternoon solid freight train
of thirty-two cars passed by the station
from Chicago en- route to Boston. Each
car was loaded with moving and reaping
machines manufactured at the great
works of William Deering & Co., of the
former city, and consigned to F. c. Piers,
the general agent for the New England
States, at Boston, Mass. The train
excited much interest among railway
men and others. This is understood to
be the largest single shipment of grass
and grain cutting machinery ever made
to the New England States, and is a
striking illustration of the immense
business done in this line by William
Deering & Co. and the growing popular
ity of their machinery.-[R Rochester On.

ACCIDENT AT BRISTOL.

A Bristol dispatch of Wednesday says
"a serious accident occurred this morn
ing to Rev. ID. Bosworth and wife.
While going down Mill hill in buggy a
side strap broke. Mr.. Bosworth pulled
on the lines, which broke the bit. This
frightened the horse, which started to
run. Mr.. Bosworth and wife both struck
the bridge near the office of the Bristol
Manufacturing company. Mr.. Bosworth's
bruises were cash on the forehead four
inches long, one directly over the eye
three inches long and the eyelid torn
away. Mrs. Bosworth's face was badly
cut and bruised and several teeth knocked
out. Both were taken up insensible, re-
moved to their residence and Drs. Dean,
Prime and Kent summoned. Mr.. Bos-
worth is quite heavy man, advanced in
years, and it is feared that the shock will
prove fatal"
The injuries received by Mr.. and Mrs.
Bosworth proved less serious than the
above dispatch indicates. Both were
getting on well yesterday morning and
it was not believed that there was reason
to fear serious result in the case of
either of them.
