A trip MountaintcarJ—The old brick
school house—the Webster Place—A
succession rs busy villages —“ The cot
where I teas born" Fnchanting
scenery — Laconia. .
Laconia, N. 11. July 19.
Notwithstanding there are several
routes White Mountainward, over well
mauaged railways,a quiet trip by private
conveyance affords a finer opportunity
of enjoying the rich and varied scenery
along the route. A private family
party, with their own vehicles, afforded
an inexpensive mode of conveyance,
combining economy and social enjoy
ment with the mutual attractions ot the
route. Leaving the old homestead, to
which reference was made in our last,
we proceeded up the Valley of the
Mammae. Passing the “old brick
•chool bouse”—one of those elementary
institutions which exist in every neigh
borhood, and constitute the common
school Bystem, which is the boast of New
England—a ride of three miles brought
ns to the “Webster Place,” a splendid
farm, which was the birth place and
early home of that eminent Statesman,
who died, alas, too soon. His memory
is still cherished with the tenderest
interest in the vicinity, and the iarm is
visited by large numbers every year,
from all parts of the country, of those
who revere his name, and honor his
devotion to the Constitution. A noble
row of elms borders the broad highway
leading to the bouse, towering skyward
in stately beauty. The estate was long
managed by John Taylor, and letters
from the great Statesman to him are
still current in the newspapers South as
well as North, and reveal a familiar
knowledge of agriculture and a lively
appreciation of “common things’’ for
which be was noted. “ The Webster
Lake is near, where, during his summer
visits up to the close of his life, he
indulged his love for piscatorial sports,
and feasted with the friends of his boy
hood on “fish chowder.” A small
excavation in the vicinity marks the
site of the log cabin in which Daniel
was born. He was a dull and unprom
iaing boy, and exhibited an early dis
taste for farming, as well as for books.
An Irishman who worked for his father,
whose name was Ezekiel, is reported to
have felt great anxiety lest his stupidity
should disgrace the family, and said—
“Be Jahers, Uncle Zeke, if you don’t
send that boy to college he’ll be one
nat’ral darned fool.” And he went to
college, where his career was still
unpromising. It is related of him that
the faculty hesitated about giviug him a
diploma. Hearing of this, his ambition
was aroused, and when the parchment
was handed him, he tore it up, and
stamping it under hi3 feet, remarking
defiantly—so the tradition goes—"l’ll
show you what I can do without a
diploma.” And be did.
From this estate our route leads
through Franklin, a thriving village of
fifteen hundred inhabitants, three miles
distant, where there are several factories
for the manufacture of horierv, a large
paper mill, etc. The crystal water of the
river is admirably suited to the making
of paper, being so clear that its rocky
bed ia discemahle to a great depth, and
fish are seen far down its silvery current,
as we ride along its borders. Here the
Winnepiasiogee and Pennigewassett
nnite and form the Merriroac, which
probably, ia the distance of eighty milea
below, propels more machinery than
any stream in America. Our route
lays up the valley of the former stream,
which, though not the most direct route
to the mountains, leads through a charm,
ing country, and takes us to the homes
of loved ones whose faces we have not
looked on for nearly twenty years.
Sanbornton Bridge, three miles dis
tant, is also a -considerable “factory
village,” having several woollen mills,
and a population of over one thousand.
It is the site, also, of the Methodist
Conference Seminary, a flourishing in
stitution for both sexes, under the con
trol of this religious body. And here
it may be remarked that sectarian in
fluences still appear to exert the con
trolling power they have ever main
tained in New England society. Not
to belong to the church is to be an
object of solicitude akin to pity among
the membership, and to be a Democrat
is a reproach barely tolerated among
the “Lord's anointed.” Preaching poli
tics ander the garb ol “humanity,” has
for years engaged almost as much
attention as preaching “ Christ and
Him crucified,” and much division and
estrangement have resulted—the De
mocracy, though in a minority, being
strong and earnest in their opposition to
the prostitution of the holy offices of
CbrietiaDity. Many pastors have, of
course, stood firm against the raging
fanaticism ; but to stand firm was
usually to be dismUsed, or to divide
the church; and political proscription
is carried into all the pursuits of life.
A Republican will ride tea miles rather
than let a Democrat shoe his horse, and
vice versa. Thia bitterness is said lo be
sofening down somewhat.
Two or three miles from the village
of Sanbornton, the river widens into a
beautiful buy, and a mile or two beyond
another and still another of larger pro
portions, and dotted with little green
islands nestle amid the swelling hills.
On the border of one of these, and
beneath the shade of a stately oak, a
neglected domicil is pointed out to me
as the "cot where I was born.” It is
not inhabited, and though it is nearly,
two score years since I was born, from
its ingle side, its half open door seems
to invite a survey of the scenes which
mark the sweet oblivion of childhood.
Unlike the old farm house of my father,
previously described, it is an unpre
tending cottage; but like it, gray with
the rust of time. A love of home is
perhaps a common instinct, even of
the brute creation; but to the wanderer,
who returns, after a life of varied and
bitter experience, to the spot where he
first saw the light of earth, what a
troupe of reminiscences swell the heart,
and are called up at every glance of the
tear dimmed eye. Here is the old mill,
its rotting sides stayed up with great
oaken props, but still vocal with the
whirr of busy saws. The workmen
stare as we wander from spot to spot,
now lingering on the bridge, surveying
the rocky bed of the river—now climb
ing down the weed grown garden and
the rotten steps to the canal, whose
cruel waters have for forty years swept
over the spot where a baby sister, whose
face 1 had not seen, was drowned ; now
stopping to drink from the bucket—
“ The old oaken bucket, the inoss covered
bucket, that hangs in the well.”
Now going from room to room, and
from cellar to attic, in search of some
relic to treasure as a sweet remembrance
of the halcyon days. Wrenching an
old rafter from the crumbling roof, from
which to make a walking cane, we take
leave of the charmed spot, and are soon
out on the green hills that overlook its
picturesque surroundings- The bard
that sang of the “ sweet vale of Avoca,”
would have derived, amid scenes like
these, inspiration tor anew refrain to the
charms of nature, and the artist might
wander long to find a richer field for the
employment of his pencil. On every
hand the country teems with ob
jects of interest and beauty. The
bays are bordered on all sides by
undulating slopes, dotted with hand
some farmhouses, only a few rods distant
from each other, while in the distance
the horizon is marked by the bold
outlines of Monadnoc and Kearsage on
one hand, and spurs of the White
Mountains on the other. The diversity
of the scenery affords an ever varying
source of astonishment and delight.
Ilill and valley, gorge and glen, river
and brook, and sweet, silvery lakelets,
rough, rocky pastures, with fat cattle
and sheep roaming along their ragged
sides, swelling fields and smiling mead
ows, gorgeous with their vernal robes
of grass, and corn, and grain—all
these totally dissimilar prospects succeed
and mingle with each other in such
rapid succession as to he a source of
constant pleasure. And here, ten or
twelve miles from Sanbornton Bridge,
is the lovely town of Laconia, along the
margin of Lake Winnisquam, reaching
out along the hills, and commanding
enchanting views of Mount Belknap,
the Guilford Hills, and of the White
Mountains in the blue distance. This
place is much visited by mountain
tourists, and is also a manufacturing
town of some importance, having, with
the neighboring village of Mendeth, fully
fire thousand inhabitants. Here, under
the hospitable roof of a school day
friend, we will take a brief respite from
oar journey. A.
NEWS SUMMARY.
Thr Dkath of Gen. Meagher.—A
passenger from Fort Benton explains
how Gen. Meagher came to be drowned.
He was eugaged in a quarrel on the
afternoon of the Ist, with an Irishman
who had insulted him. Excitement
seemed to have rendered the General
delirious, and at 10 o’clock p. tn. he
stole from his bed and fell overboard.
Search was made for his body, but at
last accounts it had not been recovered.
What is it to Cost.—The New York
Times seems to think we shall pretty
Certainly have some unpleasant revela
tions at the close of the year a3 to the
cost of the so-called Indian war, sup
posed to he raging somewhere on the
Great Plains. A million dollars a week
is now spoken of as the figure ; but we
shall be agreeably disappointed if we
get off with twice that weekly sum from
the opening of hostilities in the Spring
until tbeir close in the Fall. We shall,
however, look hopefully to Gen. Sher
man to limit our burdens as much as
possible.
A Horsitißt.E Picture. —At the office
of the Union Pai ific railroad, says the
Lout* democrat, of the 17th, was
seen a harrowing picture of Indian vin
dictiteness. It was the. photograph of
a man as found murdered and lying
exposed on the plains near Fort Harker.
The picture was a negative, or photo
graph in its first stage—that being the
extent to which the artist on the spot
could carry the process. The victim
lay stretched out, entirely stripped of
his clothing, his body dreadfully gashed
with arrows, some of which were still
imbedded in the flesh. The heart and
entrails had been cut out and lay upon
the body, ami the sculp Imd been taken.
A ltitsrkKATK You\u Man.—A dis
patch from Chicago lull** the follow
ing :
A jroumr fellow canto hern ftom Lou
isiana with ton ihoiiHitiiii dollars, las',
weak, to utarry a girl to whom ho hud
long boon engaged, llu losi his ull at
a gambling luhlu, and tried to drown
himscll in u river, but wits rescued, ile
then went lo a hotel, ordered two hotlles
of' wine, laid his revolver on the table,
and wrote a noli? lo a friend, staling
that he had killed himself. The friend
rushed up there, and found him dead—
drunk, ou the floor, lie had apparently
intended to kill himself while under the
influence of liquor, but look too much.
Drink saved him.
A dissipated couple in .Cleveland,
Ohio, quarrelled the other day, when
the husband converted bis properly into
cash, intending to separate altogether,
end leave the city the next day. He
deposited $4,500 between the cloth and
lining of hi* vest, where his wile found
it in the night. She substituted an old
almanac, and the next day they look
different trains, he going to Toledo in
blissful ignorance of his loss, and she to
her friends in Indiana with the money.
Fcarful Disaster.—A fearful cas
ualty occurred on the Bth iust, in the
Elkhoru river, Nebraska, to the families
ot two well known citizens of Nebraska,
it appears that the Rev. O. C. Dake
wife and three children, and a Mr. Ray,
went to Fontenelle, to participate in the
celebration of-the Fourth at that place.
While crossing the Elkhorn river on
their return, the wagon in which they
were riding was backed off the ferry
boat hy the horses and all of them
prei ipitated into the river. Mrs. Dake
and her sister floated down to shallow
water a short distance off, and were
saved. One of Mr. Ray’s children was
also saved by clinging to Miss Eaton.
Mr. Dake’s two daughters were
drowned. Mr. Bay succeeded in saving
his wife and infant child. Three others
of his children, two sons and a daugh
ter, were drowned.
Horrible Murder. —A man named
Roseweli was murdered in Tioga
county, New York, on the 12th. The
facts are as follows : Roseweli had sold
a small farm and bought another, which
was principally a wood lot, and was
moving his family to the lately acquired
possession, and Ellis was riding with
bm. In going through a piece of
woods it was proposed by one of them
to go and get a drink at a spring. Both
men left, leaving Mrs. Roseweli in the
wagon. A few moments alter their
departure she heard a cry of murder
from her husband, and, being alarmed;
abandoned the wagon in search of help.
She soon found a house and aroused
the inmates, who immediately made a
search, but darkness coining on the
body of Roseweli was not found until
the next morning. The head of the
uufortunate man was crushed fearfully,
a log lay across his neck, and his mouth
was crowded full of leaves. The murder
was perpetrated for the money Roseweli
was supposed to have upon his person.
Rose Well had only twenty dollars when
he set out, and this money he had hand
ed to his wife, aud the murderer got
nothing for his horrible crime.—Bing

Two Girls Murder Tueir Step
mother in Tennessee. —The Kingston
Last 'lennesseean gives the following
particulars of a horrible affair which
occurred in the Sixth Civil District of
Roane County, Tenn., known as the
Paint Rock District:
It appears that a Mrs. Hicks aud her
two step daughters, named respectively
Mary and Kezia, had for some time
lived unpleasantly together, when the
two daughters determined lo put her out
of the way. Accordingly, with murderous
intent, they forcibly conveyed their
unfortunate victim to the smoke house
near by, and commenced a series ot
tortures that even the veriest savage
would have shrunk back from and
grown hideous at —such was the enor
mity of their barbarity and wickedness.
first attempted to strangle their
victim to death, but failing in that, they
bethought themselves of a more refined
as well as expeditious mode of accom
plishing their object, which was to pour
incited lead into the ear of their
helpless victim, and then to make
assurance doubly sure, these daughters
struck the prostrate and dying woman
several blows on the head with an axe.
Supposing the old lady dead or dying,
they left their mother weltering in her
blood and went to cburJi.
Some of the neighbors soon after
coming in found Mrs. Hicks, admin
istered restoratives and revived her
sufficiently to relate the above detailed
tacts. She has since died of her
injuries.
