CHURCH AT The FALLS. In several
OF our recent numbers we have spoken oil
the natural advantages and of the late i'm.
provements Of Onion River Lower Falls.
While so many plans are forming, and co
much capital is employed for turning the
natural advantages at the Falls village into
sonrces Of wealth, we are glad to see is
moral Improvement is not forgotten. We
learn that on Wednesday of last week, o
Church was duly organized there, with
promising and favorable prospects. We
understand tina, 80 or 40 members of the
Rev. Mr. Converse's Church, who reside in
or near the Falls village, were selcmnly
set apor, and formed into Church undel

stances; and that the Church thus formed

FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 49,

The result of the Presidential canvass is
still a matter Of doubt. Tnus far both par.
ties have carried all the states they relied
upon os certain 1.-The Wings by increased
and the Tories by very diminished MAORI
ties, with the exception Of New York
where Mr. Van Buren's majority will ex
coed 10000, In Pennsylvania. the
contest has been an unexpectedly close one
end the result is not yet certainly known;
though, in all probability, Mr.. Van Buren,
has carried it by few hundred votes
The contest in Virginia has been very
close. Thus far, the Harrison ticket is O
few hundred ahead. In Connecticut, which
last Spring gave 5000 majority to the
tories, the Van Buren, ticket has prevailed
by a reported majority of from five to eight
hundred only. In Maine and .Nep Han,p
shire the tories had the field to themselves
Termont gives HARRISON an unexpected
majority of near seven thousands; Ohio, ga,
10000; Maryland between four and fv,
thousand; DeiaOare 500, the largest ma
jori,y ever given in that state since til,
present division of parties.
Comparing these results with former es
Inmates, we see good reason 10 hope tina
Mr. Van Buren, will not receive the vote O
the Electoral College. A few days will

SIR WALTER ScoTT. Every person, the
least acquainted with the history or charac-
Ter of this great man, knows that, in many
striking peculiarites, he stood alone and
unequalled. Whether we consider the
Udlue or the aggregate amount of his wri-
tings, he is foremost among those who
have contributed to the literature of the
world. The January number of Frazer's
Magazine contains series of interesting
"reminiscences relative to the last days of
Sir Walter, from which we CLEAN few
interesting particulars. BY the failure of
Constable & Co. in 1895, Scott, who had
endorsed their paper TO an unlimited extent,
became liable 10 the amount of GS0,O00,
while his means to meet these liabilities,
did not probably exceed Gl0,000. 1t was
under these discouraging circumstances
that he commenced the Herculean task of
writing himself out of debt, in which as is
known he so far succeeded, that at the
time of his death the claims were reduced
to one third, so that in five years he actually
earned more than forty thousand pounds
sterling. This result, however, was accom-
plished by an Intensity and consistency of
labor, TO which his previous efforts had
been nothing; at the cost of all his ac;us-
toned amusements, by the sacrifice Of
bodily exercise, and as frequent conse-
quence of sleep. One of Constabe's cred
itors, holding n note endorsed by Walter
Scott, nearly rendered nugatory all the
arrangements for the gradual settlement of
the claims, by absolutely retusingt to accept,
even pro temPore, any part Of his demand.
All or nothing was his ullimatum. This
Shylock nearly experienced the fate of his
prototype, for his debt was set aside on the
ground of usury, and he was glad to accept
any terms he could obtain. For his life of
Bonaparte, which he completed in one
year, Sir Walter received Gl1,000. Among
his other most profitable undertakings, was
the new edition of his works and his con-
tributions to Lardner's Cyclopedia. In
some instances $500 were offered him for
a few trihes to be inserted in an annual.
These facts go to account for a result
which, as it is unparalleled in the history of
literature, can, without explanation, hardly
be credited.
