His successors appear to be well qualified

short distance from the feyv aud the steam
boat landings. See their advertisement in
another part of the paper.
While here, we visited the place of the
slides from the hill called Mount Ida, on the
east side of The city. 1t is difficult for me
to conceive how the moving mass could ex-
tend itself TO such distance as il did, on
the surface below, in the great slide last
winter, by which several dwellings and lives
were destroyed. had no time for sufficient
observation or inquiry from which to give
particulars. ANY one being in the city and
having time to spare will be well paid for
the trouble Of visiting The place.
Leaving our team at Troy, we took pas
sage TO Albany on the small steamboat,
John Mason and thence 10 New-York on
the Rochester. We left Albany q; 7 P. M,
and reached New York at A. Minus
travelling $50 miles in nine hours, and OBJ

There being competition, the cost was only

Being in New-York on Thursday, we at

American Ami Slavery Society.
The speakers were William Lloyd CARR

Kim, and others. VIM. Lloyd Garrison was
elected President Of the Society for the en-
suing year. was told that the New Or
ganizalion, Otherwise the American and
Foreign Anli-SIavery Society, had no meet

10 end in politics.
On Thursday evening, Friday, Friday
evening, and Saturday in the forenoon, The
Convention was held for Universal Inquiry
and Reform. 1t was this meeting that call
ed me to the city, at a time when it was
very difficult for me TO leave home. Leav-
ing others TO judge for themselves, must
say that all The other meetings together
could not have induced my attendance at
New York this spring. But single three
hours session of this meeting more than paid
for the attendance of the whole. An &C
count of the proceedings, with remarks ac-

>.-...: Storm
OF thunder, wind and rain, in Poultney.
The wind exceeded anything | have often
Witnessed, prostraling much fence and
many trees, and doing some damage TO
buildings. VIM. Fi6eld, living about mile
from East Poultney village, on the road
leading to Wells, had house blown down
which he had removed and was repairing.
Those who were.at work upon il had LEFT
il but few moments before it was pros
traled. The tavern house occupied by
Chester Spencer and the Congregational
Westinghouse, in Castlelon, received slight
damage. A tree was blown upon The roof
of dwelling house, on the corner, this side
of Casteton village, near the fort ground.
Probably a ra(ler or TWO were broken, and

whom they would reckon among the evil
were punished, shall doubt until the evi.
dence is produced. What will they say for
