such doubt troubles us, Nor is it that

aktides of iMpeachment would work
fatally to pence and stability ; such a
re , ndt is not probable. :We do not re
gard the impeachment of A mlrew John
son as improbable for any of these rea
tms. Otni doubt arises from the fact
that the crimes of the President are
rather . • theoretical, than , practical and
sharply defined.
it senns incredible that men can so

that they do not see that AndrewSehn

-the rapid ,progress toward absolutism

deeds since, that time, certainly estab
lishes his claim to thejinfamy of being
the first criminal of the age. He be

his nets have been bolder and more de

tablished by the' best statesmen of the
past.
The leading questions for nearly two
yoars have been—AVhere will this end;
What does the President. mean ?- Many
have supposed that Mr. Johnson simply

would end in impeaChment. Mr: ,Tulin

But, at the same time, it would be ex

Wise; A,Majority of the House Com

of Vermont, report against impeaCh

of the Committee put in another
nority report against impeachment: So
there is a majority report for impe j acll-
went, and two minority reports adverse.
.The minority reports differ in: their
ground of . difference with the majority.
The house reeeivek_ the several reports
and makes their consideration the spe
cial order for this day.
Now it by no Means folloWs that the
House will - adopt the majOrity report
of its Committee. It is easier to hold
and wield ten men than two hundred ;
and this - pretty nearly 'states the case
in Congress. 'ln the diseusSiOris which:
arc inevitable to arise 'while the report
is being considered, it is probable that
,this fact of indefiniteness will come out
fully.. It is easy entaigh to punish any
crime with a clear definition; It is not
so easy to carry the requisite majority
in Congress for a measure fibqut which
Congressional sentiment. is dikitied.

made the,subjeet of a very bold and ferocious
attack by a man named Aniaia Gee. ;Mr. Crofut
had been in this village on bu , Sin4s and was'
about to return homo with a load' of flour • and

coming up the Tiop, road ho over

professed to be in talent-eh of work d wanted to

that bo' s was going to Pine, Creekihhi3self,hui with
his own horse. Crofut went int the bank to get
tiome money on a check, and Gee followed., Crofut
drew $6O, put it in.his vest poelletj and set Off for
home.
Just as he left town Mr. D.H. Updike of Gaines,,
asked and obtidned permission to ride. They had
proceeded but afciv miles when itbeY were over
taken by Gee on . horeeback- ifo asked ihiclikotO
load his horse and lot him
,get;, in
.with Crofut.
Having,got in the wagon he at once - began to
talk about working for Crofut, bbasting of his
skill in skidding logs, hut belati , ing well enough;
when all at once, he seized the 'whip froni its
soetet and'eonithenced whipping the team. 'Cio
lot remonstrated, when Gee caught the former'e
thumb in his teeth and seizing him by tho hair
struck.him several severe blowx over_ the left eye.
According to Mr. Updike, Crfifut soon got the
upper hand, when both wero flung from the
wagon, injuring Crofut's ritiht arm severely.
Regaining hi l ls wagcru, Crofut lundett o. ook to 'get
out of the w.y, but Gee mounted hls bersof . and
gave chase. Coming up, thetattle was commenead
and !waged , iviith varying fortunes, untilassistatice
arrived, and Crofut got away. !.With Updiko he
at once returned to Wellehoro and got a warrant
for the arrest Of Gee, beside the assault, *as
suspected to have robbed Crofut of the Money hi

"Thanligiving Dhy evening, a largo audience as
setriblod in the Methodist church to listen to that
sweet singer, Jas. O. Clark. The programme
was uncommonly rich and varied, the vocalist was
heartily welcomed and his music keenly appreci
ated—The audience, as the performer expressed it,
giving utterance to hearty "amens through the
soles of their boots and the palms of their hands."

for about eight menthe, 1 cannot defer longee to
give you my opini s on of its. merits. We - com
menced using it 05 a wood Luther, and have
tinned to use wood as fuel until the . first • of the
- present month, since which time we have used
coal. I find that it,burnkeither equally :well,. I
have used various kinds of cooking stoves with
in the past twelve years, some of them very good
ones, but to tho Anieriean certainly, in my opin
ion, belongs the title of "the best in 'use.". Its
simplicity of construction, - its_ remarkable uni
formity in baking, us well at economy in the
rise of fuel, 'eaniusend it to the attention of 'eyery
housekeeper.' In conclusion allow toe' to say
that ',consider the American Cooking Stove by
far thehest in use. .
