tract from an address of the venerable Dir.

again, would by the help Of God, from the

virtue; and lend my influence TO advance
whatever would eXalt and adorn human na-

to render the world lived in, like the llea-
ven TO which aspire, the abode OF inno-
cence and felicity. Yes, though were to
away their hour in the sunbeams of the nom.
ing; even during that brief period I would
rather soar with the eagle, and leave the re-
cord of my flight and my fall among the
stars, than creep the earth and lick the dus
with the reptile, and, having done so
bed my body with my memory In the gut

The life of DIR. Not, has been daily illus
ira,ion of the value Of the sentiments he 81
handsomely expresses. He is now pa,ri
arch of some sevensiy years, and has presi
ded over Union College for forty-fve years
preserving in his old age that fire of genu
and that kindliness of heart which have mad,
him the idol of all who have ever enjoye,
his instruction.

The canal will of course unite with the
public works Of New York, which can
easily be done by extending it from Athens
to Binghampton, where it will unite with
the Chenango canal, which intersects the
Erie canal at Utica. Several other con-
nexions with the New York works can
also be made, the most available of which
is by the Chemung canal, which leads into
Seneca Lake and thus untes with the
Erie canal at Montezuma, in the very
heart of The State of New Yoek.

~ From VALpARAlso.-A letter was
received yesterday from Mr.. Edward M.
Hall, of this place, who started for Caifor-
MIA, in company with Lieut.. w. J. Martin,
last February, dated Valparaiso, June IS.
They sailed from Baltimore in the Ship
Xvlon, and thus far have got along without
many of the mlsiortunes that frequently oc-
cur in voyage around the Horn. The lite
of but one passenger has been lost, the
person having thrown himself overheard in
IA fit of insanity. They, however, expert
enced many severe storms during the voy-
age, and were fearful of meeting with as
sad fate as the s'Robert Bowne," of New
York, which Mr.. Hall says was sunk off
Cape Horn with the loss of nearly 200
lives. The correctness of the report of
this melancholy accident has been ques-
toned by some of our exchanges; but the
letter in our possession says that the vessel
was spoken of the Horn in sinking con-
dition by the '.Two Brothers." and that
other ships saw dead bodies floating about
there. That the report may prove incor-
rect is our sincere hope. The Bark "He-
be-" which left Baltimore at the same
time the Xylon did, arrived at Valparaiso the
same day that that vessel got there-not,
however, without meeting with great
misfortune, having been compelled, in con-
sequence Of heavy gales, to leave 10 of her
passengers on the Coast of Patagonia, where
they got ashore for some prrpose. They
expected the Xylon to reach San Francis
CO about the lst of August. We are pleased
to hear that our young friends are in the
enjoyment of good health, and still have
hopes of realizing their golden dreams.

with them, where they gave him $500, and
wanted him to ship as sailor for a foreign
port, paying them back out of his wages
Upon reflection he declined doing this and
expressed his desire to return to Mr.. CLAY,
which he did last week. He manifested
much peaitence and Mr.. CLAY again received
him. He had been liberated by Mr. CLAY

NORTH BRANCH CANAL.

The public generally will be pleased TO
leara that the work for the completion of
the North Branch Canal is about to be re-
sutned. The people are beginning to open
theft eyes to the importance of this work,
which has already been too long neglected.
The completion of this canal will open an
immense trade with the interior of New
York, in furnishing them with coal, iron
and taking in exchange salt, plaster, &c.
D The first division of the North Branch
Canal extends from Northumberland TO; the
Lackswana Creek, distance of seventy
two miles, and was finished as early as
1880. The distance from the Lackawana
to Athens, in Bradford county, is ninety
miles, with an ascent of only 1897 feet to
be overcome by locks, which is fraction
over two feet to the mile; on an average
This ninety miles is divided into two divi-
sions. The Tunkhannock line extends
from the Lackawana to the Wyalusing
creek, a distance of nearly fifty-fve miles,
and on the first of December, 1871, thir-
teen miles We're finished. From Wyalu-
sing creek to the village of Athens is
thirty-fve miles, and is called the Tioga
line. On the first Of December, 1871,
twenty miles of this line were also finished.
The work on this ninety miles was wholly
suspended in 1912, and according TO the
Canal Commissioners report of that year
the total cost of work done on the Tunk-
hammock line up to the 1st of December,
1871, was -S1,l26, ,265

JOHN A. GAMBLE AND HIS nEvrLEns.


1t is really amusing to witness the shifts
and subterfuges that some editors are COM
PEELED to resort to, in order to give Mr..
Gamble an occasional dig under the fifth rib
MIR. Gamble, fortunately, is above reproach,
and the Inconsistency of these attacks are
so obvious that the antidote invariably ac-
companies the poison. The Mltonian of
last week, in an article of doubtful paterni-
ty, made editorial by the words ESQ says the
Shippcnsburg News" accuses Mr.. Gamble
of being "an intellectual dweff, who, if
elected, would be mere tooJ in the hands
of the dishonest clique who procured his
nominations" and yet, in the same para
graph, sthis intellectual dwarf' is accused
Of opposing and defeating Wm. B. Foster
in 1916. Now we should like to under
stand from the Nlltonian, and its kindred
philosophers, by what means an lntclectu-
al dwarf is made to WELD such tremendous
influence as TO overcome democratic ma
ioritv often or fifteen thousand votes. The
fact is these charges are so glaringly false
that we are surprised that the Mitonan
would give them currency in district
where Mr.. Gamble is known. We have
been personally acquainted with Mr. Gam
bic for the last ten years, during which, we
know that he was one Of the most promi-
nent and leading democrats Of Lycoming
county. We presume we need not inform
our readers that Gan intellectual dwarf''
would hardly maintain such position in
county that numbers among her citizens
as many distinguished democrats as Ly.
coming.

DISMISSAL OF THE FRENCH MINISTER.

DISMISSAL OF THE FRENCH MINISTER.
We have already adverted to probable diff
fcrcnces between this country and France,
as regards to the reception of MIR. RIvEs as
minister from this government. 1t seems
that NJ. PoUssIN, the French minister. resi-
dent at Washington, has addressed note on
some other subject to Mr., CLAYTON, Secre-
tary of the State, some six weeks since.
which was sent to France with demand for
the recall Of NJ. PoussIS. Noanswer having
been received, the French Envoy has been
told that his passports arc ready for him--or,
in other words, he may go home! We have
as yet no data but the tecgraphic despatch,
and letter from Washington in the Balti-
ted by man, who, perhaps, but too truly
exhibits the feeling of his country towards
us, For months back his correspondence
with this government has been of the most
insulting and insolent character, Forgctful
of the commoaest rules Of diplomatic eti-
4 quette, he has not hcsitated TO call into ques-
tion even the honor of our country. What
| American can hearihis questioned, unmoved !
| Who is there whose blood moves in such a
turgid stream as not TO feel such charge, a
! personal insult! The government promptly
noticed the ndiguity, refused any further in
! tarcourse with NJ. PoUsslN, and forwarded
( the whole correspondence TO his government,
! with the most explicit declaration that he
could no longer be acknowledged as the Min
lister Of the French government, and that he
must be at once recalled. There was no hesi-
taton in the action of our government.-
They hold the national honor as thing
above all price, and they will permit no coun-
try 10 disgrace it.

course it may adopt, this government has Ia
