The convention was not large, only aJout

from the Generals elegant and graceful

his winning ways, hopes are entertained
that the free-soilers may take him up.

SINGULAR DoINGs OF THE LAKES
The Chicago Journal of the 9th
says that the river " this morning was
as high as at any time the present sea-
son.
There is something truly remarkable
in these ups and downs of River and
Lake. The small Lakes also, in Mich
igan and Indiana, rise and fall in a
similar manner, which suggests the idea
that all these beautiful sheets of water
have subterranean communication with
Lake Michigan.
Clear Lake., near which the vii
lage Of La Porte is situated, has ris-

height that it has submerged the Plank
Road between Michigan City and La
porte, which would have been deemed
hardly possible by those who knew the
relative position of EACH"

the process of lamp-lighting-thc person

sherman biacK n aWk or MyriSk horse.
This horse will be at the Vt State
Fair at Rutland in Sept next, and as
many individuals are expecting to see
him contend with other horses for speed
in trotting, the proprietors would say
that although invited by Mr.. Adams Of
Burlington, to amuse the public on the
first day of the fair, by going with i Fly
ing Morgan" we shall not trot him this
fdH with anything. The season of the
horse will not end until October, and
those who know what that has been,
know that he will not be in condition to
go upon track this fall, with safety to
his life and health We will accommo-
date Mr. Adams by trotting our horse
with Flying Morgan" next winter on the
ic1. There must money enough be up,
howeyerto make it attractive and amuse-
ing to US, while others are amused by the
performance. We would here take no
tee of Mr. Bigart and Rottlor also. We
have not hitherto noticed his challenge,
because We could not be ready to go
with him this fall without disappoint-
ment to many Of those who have enga-
ged services of the horse for themselves
and friends lie nor sag to Mr.. Big
art and the friends of Rather, that we
shall, if an opportunity offers, match our
horse against RATHER, to so on the ice
next winter, or the Cam5rt4go track
another season, for any sum OF money
(not less than one thousand dollars)
named by them. We hope to fnd these

Life and Progress In the Woods.


Judge Kittredge of Fairhaven, Yer
mont, associat,d with several gentlemen
in New York city, owns township in
the region Of Long Lake which is now
being surveyed by Judge Potter and
others under the direction Of Chas. p.
Button, Esq, who is near kinsman Of
Judge X. The township will soon be
in market for actual settlers in lots Of
one hundred and sixty acres each.
The soil is excellent for wheat and
grass,Ns is proved by crops Of that de-
scription now growing under the cul-
tivation of Johnson, who has been here
but two years. The land is also very
heavily timbered with the largest ines
| ever saw, many Of them cutting logs
four feet in diameter.-Better would
it be for many of small means, to
come here and settle in preference to
going west to the country of ague and
fever" Manifest destiny" will soon
accommodate the valley ofthe Raquette
with a railroad leading from the Og-
densburg railroad near Potsdam, up
this river to Long Lake, and thence
down the head waters of the Hudson
to unite with the Washington road
near Glenn's Falls, then this valley
will surpass the valley of the Gene
see river in every particular in agri-
culture, and those who now buy their
farms at two or three dollars per acre
will find their property doubling in val
ne every year. But few years and
Johnson's log house will have to make
place for railroad station, and the
snort of the moose will be supplanted
by the whistle Of the locomotive-the
music Of the church bell of the Sab
bath will take the place of the sound
of the axe and the rife We we're a.
