WHAT Is A SNoB ?-Thackeray, in
one of his recent lectures, said there
were not as many snobs in this country
as in his, but there were some. After
hearing his definition, the reader will
be inclined to suspect that the class is
/" large and respectable" Said Thack-
cray in the lecture referred to-
A snoJ is that man or woman who
are always pretending before the
world, to be something better--espe-
cially richer or more Standardization
they are. 1t is one who thinks his
own position in life contemplate, and
is always yearning and striving to
force himself into one above, without
the education or characteristics which
belong to it one who looks down
upon, despises, and errides his in
lenors, or even equals of his own stand.
ing, and is ever ready to worship, fawn
upon, and fatter a rich and titled man,
not because he is a good man, a wise
man, or Christian man but because
he has the luck to be rich Or conse-
quential."

him again said, " Sir, are you telling
US the truth % He replied, 4" that
there had been some, but they we're
all gone. After satisfying them
selves that they should meet with no
opposition, in the work they had come
to perform, they called to the ferryman
whose boat was on the opposite side of
the river, to come and take them over,
there being then no bridge. About
100 crossed the river, set fire to all
lie barracks and burnt also a large
dwelling house, which was used as a
hospital, and broke open the store, now
occupied by Adams & Cushman, in
search of public property which had
been stored there.
They found two barrels of whiskey, a
box Of candles and some other articles
of small value, and pressing some one
to carry their booty to the place
where they had left their boats, i'm
mediatcly re-embarked for Canada.
The principal damage done to private
property was the digging of about an
acre and half of potatoes, on the
farm Of Mr.. Manner, for the loss of
which no compensation was ever re-
ceived.
A private snatchcd valuable watch
from the pocket of Mr.. VIM. Sowlcs,
now of Alburgh, while passing near
him. But young Sowles, not relishing
the idea Of being robbed in broad day
light in this way, followed the company
on their return to the Lake, and gain
ing access to the officer in command.
Pointing to the fellow that had taken
his watch, he said, "Sir, that man has
my watch" The officer Immediately
commanded the soldier to be taken
from the ranks, and after compelling
him to return the watch, ordered him
to be fogged on the spot, and he re-
ccived 30 lashes well laid on.
While at Mr.. Goodrich's, some of
them entered his garden to help them
selves to what they could find. Mr.. G..
appealed to the officer for the protec-
tion that had been promised, and the
soldiers wore severely rcprimanded
for their depredations on private prop
erty. Mr.. Manner was less fortunate,
as he was compelled to be away, while
the depredators were quartered near
his fields.
Thirty-eight years have passed away
since that eventful period, and though
" wars and rumors of wars" have kept
the world in constent turmoil and con.
tention, and even come very near us
in the ephcmcral war of 1888, still we
may now justly cherish the fond anti
cipation, that " the last war" with
Great Britain has already long since
ended, and henceforth, peace and har-
mony shall exist between these two
great nations, to the very end Of time.

penitent when he said of him, L" This
boy is devoured by thirst for celeb
rity."
Sterne has told an anecdote Of what
happened to him once at Halifax.

Gus boy mounting the steps almost be-
fore the job was completed, daubed

in capital letters, Lau. Sterne, that
he would not have the name eifaced
sceirr that sterhe was a boy of ge-
MUS, and certain to make reputation
in the world
Many predictions were made in re-
spect to Napoleon, about whose youth
there must have been something re-
markable. His aged relative. the
archdeacon of Ajaccio, when dying,
said to the young Bonapartes kneel-
ing around his bedside to receive his
last blessing, d" You need not think a.
bout the fortune of Napoleon he will
make it himself. Joseph, you are
the eldest of the house ; but Napole-
on is the chief. Have a care over
his future" Not only his unc lie, but
all who knew Napoleon, predicted
that he would become an instrument
for great purposes. He was scarce
fifteen years old, when NJ. de Kerge-
rion said, 81 perceive in this young
man spark which cannot be too care
fully cultivated" And Paoli said of
him, Z" He is a man of Plutaroh
mould" The rhetorician Domairon
described him as granite heated in
a volcano" And finally, Leguillc,
one of his teachers at the Military
School, spoke of him in a note, as
" Napoleon Bonaparte, Corsican by
birth and character /; this gentleman
will 90 far, if circumstances favor
him."
Let us conclude by adopting the
thought Of Goethe: " Our desires are
the presentlments OF the faculties
which lie within us,-the precursors
of those things which we are capable
of performing. That which we would
be, and that which we desire, present
themselves to our imagination, about
us and in the future we prove our
aspiration after an object which we
already secretly possess. 1t is thus
that an intense anticipation transforms
a real possibility into an imaginary re-
ality. When such tendency is de-
cided i'll us, at each stage of our de-
velopement portion of our primitive
desire accomplishes itself, under favor
able circumstances, by direct means /;
and, in unfavorable circumstances, by
some more circuitous route, from
which, however, We never fail to reach
the straight road again.

Incidents in the War Of 1912.

Those who live in these days Of
peace and prosperity can hardly ap-
preciate the cost at which all these
blessings were purchased. Our fathers
can tell us of a time at which, when
they retired for the night. sleep was
driven from them through fear that
some foe might be lurking near, wait
ing only for the darkness Of midnight,
to 90 forth on his bloody work.
Such, to some extent, were the fears
and anXieties Of the inhabitants Of
Swanton Falls, during the progress Of
the 'last war" with Great Britain.
1t is well known to the readers of A.
mcrican History, that the design of
the British in the campaign of 1914
was to secure the entire control of the
ayigation of Lake Champlain, and to
precen the people upon either side
rm % operatins with, Or i'll an man.
ner ali,ng or abetiing the American
Arm, which, for the most part, was
stationed at the South, or along the
Western and Northwestern borders of
New York. To accomplish this OBJ
ject large feet was fitted out in Can.
ada, to pass up through the Lake, and
ut the same time very large force
was to march by land to attack the
American forces stationed at Platts-
burgh. The result of that attempt is
well known. But this movement on
the part of the British had been, it
would seem, in contemplation for some
time.
In the early part of August a force
of some 600 had been dispatched by
them, to seize and destroy any public
property which might be at Swanton.
There had been quite a large American
force stationed here, and large num-
Der Of barracks erected for their ac-
commodation. Either because not an.
ticipating any attack, or that their
services were needed more in some
other place, this force bad been remov-
ed, and the inhabitants left entirely at
the mercy of the enemy.
No wonder then, that CONSERVATION
filed every mind, when on the morn.
ing of the second of August, a mes
senger rushed through the village pro-
claiming, "the British are coming ! the
British are coming !"
What could be done 4? To resist
would be unavailing, and to escape
was quite as difficult. There appeared
to be no alternative but to remain, and
make the best terms with the enemy
they could. The British had landed
at M'Quam Bay, near the residence
of Martin Manner, and leaving about
one half their force to guard their
batteaux, in which they came, they
compelled Mr.. Manner to act as guide
to the Falls. Arriving here they halt
ed in front of the house of Mr.. E. o.
Goodrich, and after assuring him that
the persons and property of peaceable
citizens should be kept inviolate, de.
nanded of him in peremptory manner,
4" if there were any American soldiers
stationed at the barracks across
the river ?" He assured them there
were none. The officer who addressed

In the Cmmon Council of Buffalo.
a few days since, the Mayor of the
city presented the following letter from
Mr.. Everett:
WAsHIYGToN, Feb. %, 1858.
Dear Sir.-I have received your
favor of the 21st, transmitting a copy
Of the resolutions of the Common Coun.
ell Of Buffalo Of the 18th.
cordially concur with the resolu-
tons in all that is said of the charac-
ter of President Fillmore, who has ad.
mlnistered the Governmcnt,-for a
part of the time under circumstances
Of extreme embarrassment and anxiety,
with unsurpassed discretion, ability
and success. Having previously en-
tertained the Iii Ihest opinion Of the
President, as one Of the ablest and
most patriotic Of our statesmen, that
opinion has been raised by the official
intercourse which have had with him
for short time, as a member of his
Cabinet. 1t would be extremely graf
flying to me to accompany the Presi-
dent on his return home, and to wit
ness the well deserved cordiality of the
reception that awaits him but after
so long an absence, l fear it will not
be in my power to leave Boston again
50 soon.
beg to acknowledge the kindness
of your letter as concerns myself. l
have been a member of the Admins
tration for too short time to claim any
share of the credit to which you think
it entitled but ! warmly concur in the
tribute paid by the Common Council to
the merit Of my associates.
/ remain, dear Sir, with much re-
gard, Most respectfully yours,
EDWARD EVERETT.

Mrs. SwIssHELM's VIEW OF IT.
" A man would not don long dragging
skirts over his cowhide boots, surround
his whiskers with bonnet, blond and
flowers, and take promenade on any
public thoroughfare without being trot-
ted off to the watch-house, and we can,
not see why the one case is more ty-
rannical than the other.
"As to the superior cleanliness of
boomers in cases of mud which makes
their prohibition such an especial cause
Of complaint, the case is yet to be
proved. The only bloomer we ever
saw walking in mud was certainly the
most wofully bedraggled creature we
ever did see. The wide Turkish trows-
ers which fell loosely over the band
that fastened them around her ancles,
were loaded with yellow mud until
they were dragged down over the
shoes, trolloping around her heels, wet
and muddy half way to the knees, and
forming altogether one of the most un-
gainly sic hts we have yet witnessed in
the yagaries of costume"
