movements, we can say ola truth, they far
surpassed our expectations A goodly num-
her Of our citizens witnessed their exhibition,
and we saw in the countenances of ALL un-

pride and pleasure. In word. all were
highly pleased and felt that noble pride that
elevates the feelings without initiation.

At o'clock in the evening they, with the
Band and few others, took supper at the
Croghan House, which was excellent Of itself;
but by the politeRess of the landlord, Mr..
Yandercook, it was rendered superd. After
supper, the Band having played two as good
tunes as ever fell on the ear of man, with
very fine skill and taste, the following senti-
ments were offered:
Rescue Hook and Ladder Co. No. l.,
While they rage the perishable, may they
raise monuments of esteem and respect Of
the imperisha5le in the affections of the Res
cued Engine Co. No. l. While they extinguish
the flames in the material may they kindle
flames in the imnaterial-in the hearts of our
citizens. The Band, may they live thousand
years and their instruments be in tune till
the last hour of the last year. Mayor A. B.
Taylor, being then called for, rose and
made short, but appropriate and excellent
speech. When the Mayor had concluded
his remarks the Company gavo him three
hearty cheers, the Rescue Hook and Ladder
Co. No l. three, the Band three,
the Engine Co. No. l., three,
and Mr.. Vandercook three. All then retired
in perfect good order, feeling that pleasure
which leaves no sting-a pleasure arising
from consciousness of having been nobly
engaged in a noble work.

IMPORTANT PosTAL ALTERATtoN.- has
been discovered that the United States postal
arrangements with Great Britain have been
misunderstood, so that large amount of
postage beyond the requirements Of the pos
tai conventions have beeu paid to England.
-Four cents on newspapers to certain foreign
countries through the British open mails has
hitherto been paid, but hereafter two cents
only will be required, the British government
receiving by arrangements with France and
some other nations the transit duties from
those governments. The British Postmaster
General discovered the error and has conf
municated it to our government, offering at
the same time TO refund all the overpaid
amounts, since the convention of ls4S went
into operation, which will be so much gain to
our treasury. Papers sent by the United
States ant. Prussian closed mail must be pre-
paid six cents in full for the United States,

The HIDDEN LIFE.-Among the workings
Of the hidden life within US, which we may
experience, but cannot explain, are there any
more remarkable than those mysterious moral
influences. constantly exercised, either for
retraction or repulsiou. By one human being
over another? In the simplest, as IN the most
important affairs Of life, how startling no"
irresistible is their power! How often we
feel and know. either pleasuraby or painfully
that another is looking on Us before We have
ascertained the fact with our own eyes. How
often we prophecy truly to ourselves the aP
proach ofa friend or enemy, just before either
has really appeared. How strangely and
abruptly we become convinced, at hrst intro
duetion. that we shall secretly love this person
and loathe that. before experience has guided
Us with single fact in relation to their charac-
ters.

What is Moderate Drinking !?

Answer is the great deceiver Of ma

Il Is :hc A, B. G, of drinking; the picture

worst Of intemperance.
Il is a regular quack medicine, making
splendid promises, but performing no cures
aud yet demanding enormous pay.
Il is the starting point to the workhouse,
the prison, the asylum, and the gallows.
Il IS the light.fngered gentleman, who feels
every corner Of the drawer, and to the very
bottom Of bis purse.
II is the first step in an inclined plane OF
rapid descent, smooth as marble and slippery
as glass. ending in an abyss OF ruin.

Of its coils.
