SPEECH OF GENERAL LANE.

The correspondent of The Boston Journal closes his
report of the meeting at Lawrence on the l4h instant,
ofwhch our special correspondent gave short sketch
in q letter Published yesterday, with the following
account Of Gen. Lane and his speech:
Several stirring speeches were made. Gen. Lanes
was 20 characteristic-sO Lane.ish-hat am tempted
to send you few OF its leading points. Lane is ene
of the most cecctrc stump orators ever heard but he
cant be reported To realize the effect Of his speeches
YOU must see his little eyes fash and geam-wness
the yesticulaton which throws his long, why form
into all sorts of contortons-and hear the deep, ex-
plosive gutturals you can hear them if you are
within half mile Of HIM, in which he hurls denun'
Citations or appeals TO the feelings of his hearers
And last but not least, you must see the rresstibly
comic manner in which he tells story, " lets out "
a unique expression. But here is rough sketch Of
his remarks on this occasion:
LADIES AND GENTLENES | recolect well the first

CUSTOM-HOUSE BUSINESS.
Editor Of The ". Y. Tribune.

To the Editor Of The " Y Tribune.
SIR: To-day The Daily Ners tries hard to gloss
the charges made truly against Collector Sche
in your paper yesterday by saying that bonded ware
houses can be kept by any one. True, but general
order warehouse is kept only by one whom the Coec
tor selects. Having been taken from Moses Odel and
given to VIM. Mcintyre, Mr.. Odell was virtually dis
missed. BY this general order business large fortune
can be made in one term. An arrangement had been
made before Mr.. Schels appointment by him, McIn-
tyre Co. to appropriate this business to themselves.
The greatest quantity of goods is sent from the
steamers generally day after they arrive, although
the law and custom give the merchants five dogs to
obtain permits. Herein lies the secret Of none making
under general order II goods not called for by
permits when discharged they are sent under general
order by authority of the Collector. Ii a steamship
goes to work the day after her arrival few ii any Of
the merchants have permits. Their goods are sent
under general order. Again, the officer the dock
having the goods send 10 merchants, warehouse or
public store, knows that the goods he sends to
general order the better he is liked by the Collector
and Others Interested in said stores so he very cooly
places the merchant permit in his hat and sends his
goods general order. This he can do without fear
of detection for if the merchant asks why his goods
sent there instead of being given 10 him. be il
coolly told that his permit was received at IL clock
and the goods sent 10 warehouse before. This is
called aying 10 the Collector by the knowing ones
and if the Secretary of the Treasury will see for him
self he will that the inspectors generally are
detailed to those steamships. Again prostitution Of
the Office has been made IN the formation Of late chair.

Police station the inquisition the body Of Louis
Bot, the German who found lying dead on the
sidewalk corner of Third street and First avenue.
Several witnesses were examined but no evidence
could be elected going to show that Bot had been

The crops this year in these valleys are better than
have ever been known. One man raised on acres
80 bushels of wheat, another on | acres raised 20

Anthony = raised this year about 30 bushels of
wheat, 200 bushels of potatoes, and cut from 40 TO ~

There has been al abundance of peaches here.
We have had apples, grapes and plums, but not 30
plentiful as the peaches. The Chinese sugar-cane is
cultivated here with success. Our nearest neghbor
Mr.. Wright, of Philadelphia made quantity of mo-
asses, sent us some, and can you it was de-
lcious.
The weather has been very pleasant for the past
few weeks in the valley, but the mountains ned
with snow.
The Army Governor, Judges and other officials

not be able to get here this Winter, the snow is
from two feet deep between here and their camp.

my mind, some of the most corrupt sc0undrels in his

This people have come to the conclusion to defend
the rights guaranteed unto Them by the Constitution,
and that armed rce shall not quarter in this city.
Whatever may be said by calumniatOrs, defy
any person To point out any act unconstitutional

A Hurricane in Tuscarawas.

On Friday afternoon this section of the
country was visited with a hurricane which
done considerable damage to fencing and
forest trees. A dark cloud appeared in the
West betw cen FIVE and six O'Clock, with a
clear sky extending towards the Eastern
horizon. All at once a rushing wind brok 4
over the town, which spread two or three
miles in breadth, prostrating many trees
and fences in It's course. Several fruit and
shade trees were torn up in town. The
farms in Beav er Dam experienced the
greatest injury. In some places the finest
eak timber was leveled to The earth. A far
mer named Foglc had his horse killed ant
buggy broken ct farm house on the Cum
berland road. lie had hitched the horse tc
the gate, whilst he sought refuge in the
house from the storm, wheE tree falling
destroyed both horse and buggv.-AduOcaie

1t tries almost everything upon earth, tc

Marriage for Slow.

To the question often asked Of young
men as to why they do not marry. we some.
times hear the reply: 81 am not able TO
sypport a wife" IN one case in three, per.
baps, this may be SO; but. as general
thing, the true reply would be, 81 am not
able to support the style in which ] think
nv wife ought to live" In this, again, we
see false view of marriage; a looking to
an appearance in the world, instead of a
union with a loving woman for her own
seke. There are very few men, of indus
triouo habits, who cannot maintain wife,
if they are willirg to live economically, aud
without reference to the opinion of the
world. The great evil is, they are not con-
tent to begin life humbly, toretiTe togethe
into an obscure position, and together work
their,,way in the world-he by industry in
bis calling, and she by dispensing with pru-
derce the money that he earns. But they
must stand out and attract the attention OF
others by fine houses and fine clothes.
