A sIov up. An experiment was tried
at the City Mills, by putting about thirty
pounds Of powder into large tin CAMS.
ter with tube about six feet IN length,
and sinking the same in hole cut thro'
the ice on the river for the purpose Of
breaking the ice. The tube was secured
to a spar, and train set for some dis
lance to a pile of shavIngs; the shavings
were set on fire, and the explosion cG the
powder entirely broke up about six acres
of the ice, so that it foated off in small
pieces, besides shattering tho ice on seve
raj acres more.
One of the gentlemen engaged in the
experiment gives it as his opinion, that

means for about three hundred dollars

Marriage in LGpldnd.-It is death IN
LapIand to marry maid without the con
sent Of her parents or friends, When a
young man has formed an attachment to
a female, the fashion is TO appoint their
friends TO meet, TO behold the two young
parties run a race together. The maid
is allowed in starting, the advantage OF
the third part Of the race, so that il is i'm
possible, except voluntarily, that she
should be overtaken If the maid ou;run
her suitOr, the matter is ended, he must
never have her, it being penal for the
man to renew the proposal Of marriage.
But if the maid has an affection for him,
though at first she runs hard, to try the
truth of his love, shO will (wihout Allan
ta'S golden balls 10 retard her speedy pre-
tend some casually, and make vounta
ry halt before she come 10 the mark or
end of the race. Thus, none are compel
led 10 marry against their own wills; and
this is The cause that in Lapland the mar
ried people are richer in their content =
ment than in other lands, where so many
forced matches make leigncd love and
cause real unhapPiness.

FAST IN MASSACHUSETTS Ev-
erett has issued his proclamation to the
people of Massachusetts, to observe the
9TH day of April next as dav of HuM1L1-
ALTON, fasting and PRAYER. This proc
lamation is certainly very singular doc
ument, inasmuch as it contains no refer
ence or alluslon to Savior. We can re-
gard it in no other light than that of a pub
lie insult to the Lord Jesus Christ, and to
the Christian people of that state. The
governor speaks of looking to Heaven
for forgiveness and mercy and of offering
prayers to the Supreme Ruler Heaven
frowns in deep and eternal Indignation up
on the people who look for forgiveness or
mercy in any other way than through the
name of Jesus Christ. The Supreme
Ruler is a God of holiness, and cannot be
approached by sinful men only through a
Mediator. But this proclamation recog.
nizes no Mediator-no Savior. In short
it is nothing more nor less than a flourish
otwords about the mercies of Heaven
the Supreme Ruler'-'a liberal Provi
dence, and the power ofour holy religion,
issued in compliance with usa &c, and tc
meet the expectations of the people in ref
erence to day ofpublic fasting.
For our part, We are sick of all such
official proclamation of sacred things, anc
we believe this remnant of church anc
state matter ought to be swept from among
u.s. We regard it as deep abominatior
in the sight of God, for an unbelieving
perhaps wicked, ungodly chief magistrate
ola state to issue proclamation, calling or
the people of God to observe days of fast
ing and prayer, or of thanksgiving. The
church ought to take this thing into heI
own hands, issue her own proclamations
and manage her own affairs. All SHE
asks at the hands of the state, is protection
in her rights.
Suppose the people of Massachusetts.

DAYS OF PUBLIC FASTING AND PRAYER

After much and painful reflection, we
have come to the conclusion that such
days, appointed by the civil authority,
GU ht not to be observed by the churches.
Two years since, we should have shud-
dered at such a conclusion. But after
reading Gov, Everett's proclamation, in
which no allusion is made to a Savior,
and after having witnessed the iniquities
done on the day thus set apart last year,
and believing that the day, as kept by most
except sincere Christians, is an abomina
ton to God, we can no longer refrain from
expressing our sentiments.
The denominations done on the last day
ofpublic fasting in this city, we shall new
er forget Probably not one tenth of the
population of this city attended public
worship; ofthe remainder, some were en-
gagged in active employment some were
unable from sickness or years to be abroad,
embracing, perhaps, two-ffths of the
whole. The remaining half ofthe popu
Iation of the city, not attending public wor-
ship, and having nothing to detain them
at home or in their shops, resorted to such
methods of killing time as were present
ed. There were no public amusements,
as on the 4th of July, &C., to divert the at
tention; hence, the only places of resort
were gambling establishments, grog shops
and houses which shall be nameless.-
These were found thronged on that day.
At every gambling house, was heard the
sound ofthe rolling balls, and if you en-
tered, cards, &C., were to be seen-in ev-
cry grog-shop, were heard the drunkards
songs and the drunkards vulgarlty and
obscenity: and in every--house, was
heard the VOL and the dance. On the
evening of that day, were to be seen more
persons intoxicated than during any week
in any other part of the year; and more
well-dressed young men in that predica-
ment than during all the rest ofthe year,
On days of public amusement, there are
external causes ofexcitement, without re-
sorting to internal stimulants; but on fast
day, intoxicating drinks are resorted to, to
produce that exhilaration which the vacant
minded crave.
We are in favor of days of fasting and
prayer, but lie; it be done by Christians,
and by the recommendation of religious
bodies, and not by the head of govern,
ment which has no soul We are glad to
find we are not alone in our sentiments

WAR;.

The work of human butchery is going
on at a mournful rate in the Southwest. -
We copy very little of the current, fly ing
news on the subject, because we believe it
calculated, from the shape in which it is
commonly presented, to cherish the MUIR
derous spirit of war. A large proportion
OF the news-writers on this subject record
and trumpet every murder ofthose whom
they are pleased to style the enemy, with
exutation; and every misimprovement of
an opportunity to butcher them to advan-
tage, with regret. Their rejoicing seems
to be very much in proportion to the num-
Der slaughtered A great havoc of hu-
man blood occasions prodigious shouts, Of
JOY and rejoicing, and long and loud songs
of triumph.
10 U.s. 1t is most surprising and lament
able that religious editors will allow their
papers to add the least fuel to these fires
of hell. Many of our missionary stations
have from time to time presented scenes of
horrid carnage in which protested Chris
tlans have had no inconsiderable agency :;
and in some instances those who have
been sent out as missionaries, have turned
their hands to this ungod1y work. The
manner in which these things have gener-
ally been noticed in religious journals
has not tended to prevent their recurrence
While the religious press will feed a
spirit of revenge, and excite thirst for hu-
man blood, the woe, and waste, and sin Of
war, will be perpetuated.
How can Christians sympathize with
those who are doing the work of murder
pouring out human blood as waterq-
Are not all the the murdered as we'll as
the murderers our brethren! Suppose
that only too tmdiridmats of the thousands
who are now on the field of blood and
death were to come into our streets and
commence the mortal encounter unor

TEMPERANCE.

GETTY.
The Vermont Statesman contains re-
port of the proceedings of the Convention
held at Wallingford acc ordingto adjourn
ment, on Wednesday the 10th of March,
which resulted in the formation OF Coun-
ty Society The meeting was addressed
by Messrs Tilden of West Rutland, Bow
en- of Clarendon, Green of Rutland, Hale
of Brandon, Mitchell of Rutland, Spencer
of Wallingford, Steele of Castleton, and
Kitridge of Fairhayen.
The duty and necessity of abstaining
from all intoxicating drinks, was clearly
and fully set forth. One of the speakers
contended, and we think with great pro-
priety, that a gallon of alcohol whether
taken in a given amount of cider, is more
hurtful to the human system than when
mixed with an equal amount Of water
that is, that it is less hurtful to drink one
gallon of alcohol mixed with nine gallons
pure water, than to drink ten gallons Of
cider, one gallon of which is alcohol
Several of the speeches were fine. The
following Constitution was adopted:
An. l. This Society shall be called
the Rutland County Temperance Society.
Art. 2. 1t is the object of this Society
to promote Temperance, and as a means
to this end, to discourage the use, as a
beverage. Of all Intoxicating liquors.
/ An. 3. Believing that intoxicating
orlnks, as beverage. are unnecessary tc
health, and injurious to the social. civil
and religious interests of men; that they
, tend to promote and confirm intemperatt
| appehtes and habits, and thereby hindel
} the farther progress of the Temperanc,
Reformation; we do therefore agree. that
: as beverage, we will neither use then
s ourselves; nor traffic in them; nor pro
: vide them for the entertainmentoffr friends
T nor for persons in our employ; but will

PROPOSED CONVENTION.
The readers of the Telegraph will recol-
lect that, five weeks ago, we ventured to
suggest that larger number of delegates
than usual assemble in New York, in
May, with a view to taking into consider
alton the present relation of our denomina-
ton to the American Bible Society. The
American Baptist, published in N. York,
now makes similar proposition, which is,
that Convention be called, to be "com-
posed of the representatives of different
bodies, as associations, conventions, mis-
sionary societies, &c, or of the friends OF
missions, of Bible distribution, and of the
Baptist denomination" to be held in
New York, on the Monday preceding the
next annual meeting ofthe Bible Society
Brethren, what measures will you take?-
Whatever is done, must be done soon.

TEMPERANCE HoUsE.-On the "a of
Dec. 1885, man was dragged in state of
stupid intoxication from one of those mis-
called temperance houses, where wine,
beer, &c are sold, and left to perish in the
street; and it is believed he would have
persisted but for the kindness ofsome who
happened to pass by and had him removed
to place of shelter. We could mention
the name of the keeper of this house, but
forbear to do so, in the hope that he may
yet see that the course he is pursuing, is
neither kind to himself or his fellow men
