SINGULAR STREAMS. In FrankIln conh-
ty, northern New York, is brook formed
from two streams, which are intcrmittant
they are very singular in their character,
sometimes being perfectly dry for twenty-to,ur
hours together, and then again flowing freely
1t is supposed that they are fed by some I'M
foreground syphon, for it is noted that they
are never dry in the hot summer weather,
when other streams generally fail, and never
cease to flow more than day at time They
stop flowing very suddenly, and when at the
highest have been known to stop running and
dry up at once.-B0St Bee.

sold to a committee of the Catholic Church
for the sum of SIS, 900 and that the purchas-

property in the city. The contract for the
Temple, however, was so far incomplete as
to require the ratification of the Bishop. 1t

DROWNED. In Lake Champlain, near
Kirbys Point, on Saturday, the 18th inst,
VIM. Hamit. The deceased was single man,
a Cooper by trade, about fifty years of age, of
industrious habits and good moral character.
He had been to Ticonderoga Falls in a
small boat for the purpose of procuring pro-
visions, when on his way home, within few
yards of his dwelling, his boat upset and he
was precipitated into the water, and before
help could be obtained he had sunk to rise no
more.
His body was found about two o'clock on
Sunday. The deceased had relations in Mo

One of the editors of the Boston Atlas, now
on a visit to Vermont, in one Of his late let
tors, speaks in high terms of Vermont and
its resources-the warm, open-hGartcd hospl-
tality of its people, &c. He may we'll do so.
There is no state in the Union where can be
found so shrewd, intelligent and hospitablc a
population as in that same state Of Vermont ;
and we may safely add, so many good looking
peope-men and maidens consecutively.-
There is, to be sure, remarkably green look
about the hills and vallies of that beautiful
section of country, but we never could dis
cover that it gave any thing but a good tone,
as the painters would say, to he mental or
physical complexion of the inhabitants. We
have not yet been able to understand fully
the cause of there being such preponder-
ance in that state of six footers,and fine spec
linens of manlness, or of dark eyed and lus
trous beauty among the softer sex; and pre-
sumo it can be accounted for only on philo
sophical principles. 1t may arise from thu
fact that there are streams heading there
which flow into the Canadian French and thu
Knickerbocker Dutch settlements, as well a
into the plre Anglo Saxon ones of Massachu
sets and Connecticut-all of which may hav
been simultaneously explored and settled b,
; these various tribes; but we havn't any doSu
ments to corroborate this view of the matter
Certain it is, there is nothing very rerdam j
Vermont but its mountains and vallies.-A

ggT The Central Relief Committee of Duh
lin, Ireland, acknowledge the receipt of 49,
600 in donations from the United States,
provisions, including those on the way, equal
to 10000 bbls. If we say these provisions
were on an average worth Ave dollars bar
rel, then the whole value of donations from
the United States acknowledged by the Dub
lin Committee, is about $275,000. Again, if
we take into account what has been sent di-
rect to Scotland, and to parts of Ireland re-
mote from Dublin, not being consigned to the
Dublin Committee, the total will doubtless
exceed 100000. The history of the world
does not afford another such instance Of prl'
vate charity extended from one people to an
other, of a different nation.-BOst. Mail.

TO THE FAIR. HO!

We do hope that our next fair to be held on
Thursday the 9TH INST at Vergennes will excite
the deep interest which its importance to the ag-
r;cultural interests of the country demands. No
one can doubt the utility Of these celebrations
They bring into public notice the most valuable
discoveries in husbandry in which nine tenth's Of
our people are engaged They awaken a salutary
ambition in the minds of those who have hitherto
merely ploded on in an old fashioned way, to dis
tinguish themselves in a pursuit which they now
find to be honored by the highest in the lana
while il supplies all their wants and IS the man
sorrce Of their pecuniary prosperity. Thus emu
lation is excited, industry stimulated, and the
most important knowledge is diffused IN all the
branches of rural cultivation. The merchant also,
the mechanic, the manufacturer and the profess
,;onol man have an interest almost as deep as the
farmer in fairs which by enabling him to prosper
and increase his productions augment his ability
TO purchase and reward more literally all other
industrial classes of community. Then let all
public spirited men and women go TO the Falr.Let
them be careful TO add to its attractions by most
freely exhibiting the products of their farms, and
work shops, and the best specimens of household
industry We perceive from our exchanges, that
the fairs in Rutland and Chittenden counties have
cxcclled all former precedents and have been car
ried out in brilliant style. The people OF old Ad-
olson should reccollect that they had the start in
the organization of agricultural societies. Let
them not now falter in the useful career which
they so nobly commenced.
Professor Meacham of MiddlcLury College will
address the society upon this occasion.

CIRcAssIA AND THE RUssIANs.-The brave
Circassan moun:aineers appear, from all
accounts, to have been subjected this sum-
mer to furious and desperate attacks from
their invaders. and TO have repealed the en-
issaries of Russian despoiism with their usual
gaIlantry and success, though contending a.
gainst fearful odds. As most of the intelll-
gence that comes westward, is by way oil 81.
Petersburg or Augsburg, we must make great
allowances for the Russian mIsrepresenta-
tons. According 10 their accounts there was
a skirmish on the 9Th of April, near Miami,
and another on the Both Of May, near Juk-
risch. The Russians remained masters of
the field, but suffered immense losses. Pre-
vious to the last, on the 10th of May, in spite
of the approach Of the main body Of the r u.s.
sian army, the Circassians attacked and car
ried by assault the strong fortress of Kirikaleh,
situated on the Kouban, which they raised to
the foundation. On the Goth of MAY they
attacked the Russians fortress Of Zerebze.-
The garrison defended the post with desper-
alton, and during the assault young R ussian
officer. seeing that the day was against them,
set fire 10 the powder magazine. Although
the explosion destroyed large number ofthe
assaiants. yet it did not abaie the ardoi of
their surviving comrades, and at length, after
a furious contest, that lasted twelve hours
the place fell into their hands. On the 9Th
of the following month, a terrible combat
took place between Russian division, COM
manded by General Lepiski, and the noun
led on by Mohammed Juha. More
than five thousand were left dead upon the
field, while the Russian account states nei-
thes side could claim the victory. The Cirs
cassians are said 70 be very much in want Of
powder. We further learn by letter from
ST. Petersburg, of the 18th of July. that the
mountaineers having taken possession of the
village of Gergehel, in Daghestan, the COM
mander in-chief sought to disposses them,
and attacked the village, but the beseised
made such desperate resistance that the
Russians were obliged 10 retreat and after sew.
eral unsuccessful attempts, the commander
was reluctantly compelled TO draw off his
forces and retreat TO his camp, with loss Of
twenty-eight staff officers, FIVE hundred men
killed and five hundred and eighty-two more
ss severely wounded as TO be incapacitated for
further service.-Atlds.

SUMNER WEATHER.-It should be remembered
that during the intense heat of summer, the pro-
cess ofdigeStionis performed with snch extreme
languor that our food, instead of being speedily
dissolved and converted into nutriment for the
body, often becomes actually spoiled. or putrifed
in the Stomach Hence bad breath, disagleeabe
taste in the mouth, collie pains, dysenery, cholera
morbus and other disorders of the intestines.
Wright Indian Vegetable Pills are a certain
cure for all the above dangerous complaints; be.
cause they cleanse the alimentary canal of all
those bilious and putrid humors, which are the
cause, not only of all disorders of the bowels, but
of every malady incident to man: They also aid
and improve digestion, and puffy the blood, and
therefore give health and vigor to the whole
frame, as well as drive every description ofpain
from the body.
Beware of Counterfeits of all kinds Some are
coated with sugar, others made to resemble in
outward appearance the original medicine The
safest course is, purchase of the regular agents
only, one or more of whom may be found in every
village and town in the State.

DR.. KING.-A Correspondent of the
New York Evening Post, writing from
ConstantinopIe, states that the excitement
against DR.. King, among the Greeks, had
become so strong that he was obliged TO
leave the country. The writer says
From the neighboring kingdom of Greece
we have Just heard that DR. King, the well
known, Jealous, and most worthy Amerl-
can Missionary, has been virtually expell-
ed from the country BY the Greek govern
ment 1t appears that an unprincipled ~
worthless character by the name OF Simon
ides, without the least provocatlon, set
himself to work TO excite the prejudices
ofthe Greek people against the missionary.
One of the leading political papers of Ath-
ems. called The Age, admitted from its
columns articles from the pen OF this in
dividual, which were full Of the grossest
misstatements in regard to DR.. King, abu-
sing his character in the most outrageous
manner, and also describing the Protestant
worship in DR.. Kings chapel as full of in
decency and obscenity.
DIR. King perceiving that the articles al
lnded to were greatly exciting the public
against him, wrote reply, denying pos
lively and entirely, the truth of the asser-
tions, but no paper in Athens could be pre-
vailed upon to publish his reply. As he
had received repeated official notices from
the Minister Of Religion to suspend his
PREACHING and advice TO leave the country,
he requested the United States Consul in
Athens, Mr.. Mulligan to accompany him
to that functionary, in order to contradict
the outrageous calumnies ofthe articles OF
the Age. This the Consul declined doing.
To avoid worse consequences. DR.. King,
by advice of his friends, quietly left the
country, though it is hoped he will be en-
abled to go back again, when the present
excitement shall have passed away.
