The fruits of protrscted residence in the Eternal

in the exercise of complete sympathy with the pecu
Iu Institutions. ceremonies, and customs of Rome
vel Is with ts remains Of classical antiquity. After
the mass Of books that have been given to the world
on this srhject bis volume has the advantage of CON-
ing up to recent dates and of recording the actual
experience Of al intelligent and cultivated observer.
Eveytbiog is regarded from Catholic point of view,
which. in the description of Catholic art and religion,
may be deemed as appropriate as the medium of theo-
logical boetity. The author has aimed to furnish
compeep: guide the monuments churches and CHAIR

enthusiasm TO suit stanch Protestant taste, it may
partly DO forgiven to the extent of his information aud
his power Of description.

sJ~ Judge Hoyey passed through the
city on Monday, on his way to meet Judge
Niblack and to 60 with him through all his
appointments to canvas the District lie is
determined to put Lecomptonism and its
champion to their metal and try their
strength before the people. Niblack has the
posts Of Office holders active in his service,
buShwhacking the remotest and darkest cor
ners of the district. Hovey has nothing but
the strength of his cause and his own
powers to rely upon. But he is making a
gallant fight, and will win the field. Some
weeks ago he addressed Judge Niblack pro-
posing to arrange times for canvassiMg the
district together, ON terms mutually fair, and
10 speak at places and times that should be
convenient to both. The only reply nc re-
ceived to this courteous invitation was a
notice ofJudge Niblack's appointments ar
ranged without consultations. The first of
which was to take place seventy miles from
Judge Hovey's home, and within two days
and half from the time the notice came to
hand. Unfair and uncourteous as the treat
ment was, Hovey was determined the "ac-
quiescer should not travel without COM
panion, and Immediately put out after him.
We have no donbt he will give his opponent
as much Of a task as he can perform this hot
weather.

Meeting at Mt. YER

On Saturday afternoon last, the citizens
of Posey county, by invitation of Judge
Hovey, assembled at Mt. Vernon, to hear a
speech from the Judee upon the political is
sues of the day The notice was short, and
none of the usual appliances to raise large
crowd were used, but early in the day the
roads leading to the town were filled with
people flocking to the meeting. 1t was at
first intended the Judge should speak in the
Court House. but it was found the Court
room would not admit half the concourse.
Application was made to the Trustees of the
largest church in town; they generously
opened its door, and the multitude soon fill
ed it to OVERLOOKING; and large crowd who
came late to the meeting were compelled to
take the shade on the outside of the build
ing. A correspondent writes US that it was
the largest meeting, by all odds, ever held
in Mt. Vernon on any occasion. The Judge
was in fine spirits, and exhilerated by the
evidences Of popular favor, made one of his
best efforts; he kept the audience in close
attention for more than two hours.
He frequently brought down the house
with the most deafening applause by his
thrusts at Lecomptonism. During the
speech, the Evansville JOURNAL was received,
and the news from the Kansas election was
read from it to the crowd; it was received
with cheer upon cheer. The order of the
meeting showed that the people were fairly
aroused to the shameful corruptions and ex-
travagance Of the Federal Government, and
the iniquities of the Lecompton rule. Our
correspondent says, the Judge did not leave
his opponents hook to hang hope upon.
Hoveys prospects in the county are daily
improving, and at the very lowest estimate
he will carry it by 500 majority; some OF
the Lecomptonites concede him majority
of 600 Our friend says if he does half as
well in the other river counties as in PoSey,
the Judges election is sure. The meeting
adjourned IN the finest spirits, and every
friend went home with a determination to
do his best for Hovey. Judge Niblack, sew.
eral days in advance, had an invitation to
be present at the meeting; but he chose tc
keep aloof from it. He was somewhere in
the district crying "peacel p "peaceW while
the breach he would heal is growing wider
The meeting proved to be the strongest
demonstration of Hovey's strength thai
Posey has yet given. A large portion o.
the persons at the meeting were old consist
ent democrats, the solid men of the county
as we'll as the party.

THE BURGLARY AT WEST FRANKLIN-A
correspondent writes us that the burglar
who broke into Washington Muirs store at
West Franklin, was river adventurer, an
entire stranger in the place. He stole a
skif above the town, and called at West
Franklin for his outfit. But he robbed
man who never lets a rogue go unpublished
Mr.. Muir pursued him and came upon him
on the island opposite Smithland; and on
arresting the rogue found in his possession
nearly all the money, keys, &c, that he had
stole at West Franklin; the papers, however,
could not be found. Mr. Muir, with the
robber in custody, Took passage on the
steamer Gov. Powell, and brought him up
the river; but about 10 o'clock at night, on
the 5th instant, when the boat was just be-
low Mt. Vernon, and in the middle of the
river, the prisoner jumped overheard, and
nothing has been seen or heard of him
since What was his fate is not known.

TIE HIGHEsr CRIME.--In the eye of the
tyrant that rules the Office holders and up
holds Lecomptonism, the highest crime is
disobedience 10 the mandates of the leaders
who make party Conventions mere Courts
OF Record of their behests. The courts of
Paris were never more subservient to the
monarch Of France than these packed party
Conventions, which gotten UP only TO
make a record Of the DEGREES of the rulers
of the party. The Washington Union is
sues an anathema against boilers in the fol-
lowing bull against Douglas and his min-
ions:
As the matter now stands, far more than
at any former period of our history, we
maintain that failure 10 abide By ths lalcs
Of The Democratic party Is the HIGHEST
CRIME tha, a representative can commit.

The attention of manufacturers of agricultural
implements, and the raisers OF small grain, is invt
ed to a recent and most valuable improvement in
the construction of the Harrow, invented By v NJ.
CHAFEE- of GRANVILLE, Illinois. In this new nipple
ment the teeth are inserted in two self revolving
horizontal wheels, by which the fiirrow of the
teeth made to the line of the direction of
the harrow, and as the teeth go round the circuit
Of the wheel every time the harrow moves forward
the length of the diameter of the wheel each tooth
has just three times the effect Of tooth in astright
harrow consequently il dees its work far better,
and more Of il. Once Passing over the ground with
this harrow, leaves it better narrowed than by two
passages with the ordinary harrow. 1t is much
lighter draft upon the team, and what must be a
great consideration with every practical farmer, in
passing corn stubble grOiuid, il keeps itself
entirely free of stalks by its action it scattcr5
them on each side of il.
The Inventor proposes TO sell the right to manu-
acture these Ilarrows for any given Territory,
either Counties or States, at moderate prices. He
will also sell single IIarrows, and on the recript of
