The Great Steam Battery,

The steam bat cry at Hoboken, which has
been about six years in process of construc-
tion is now nearly half finished. The work
upon it will soon be brought to a close for
the present, owing to the want of appropria-
tions. The structure is some AGO feet long,
with beam breadth of about 80 feet, and
depth of hold from 20 to 25 feet. 1t is
very sharp at the bow and we'll proportioned.
The ribs are about three feet apart, the out
side being covered with heavy sheet iron,
rveted on in squares about three feet long
and two feet wide, and with the exception OF
the CENTRE the sides have reached the height
of from seven to ten feet above the kelson
On either side, and about midway, the sides
extend up twenty or twenty-five feet. There
are two tiers of rafters, one of which, nc
doubt, constitutes the lower deck, and is
about eight feet above the kelson, and the
other about sixteen or seventeen feet above
the kelson, and eight feet above the lower
deck. Eight engines and ten boilers have
already been adjusted in The battery. The
top will be sheled over with iron of the
same thickness of the sides-thus rendering
the battery, it is supposed, bomb-proof. The
upper and middle decks will probable hold
1000 persons. The battery will be worked
bv propeller, and, it is hoped, will make {
run of eight miles an hour. About S7O0,0O(
have already been expended on its construc
ton, and, it is estimated, that 100000 vii
be required to finish it.

one of the sources from which our glorious Re
public in its early struggle for liberty, derived
moey of that priceless treasure, free institutions
which happy millions now enjoy, and
WHEREAS, Those institutions are best perpetu-
ated and preserved by revving on suitable oc-
casions, as examples for our imitation, those an
cestral virtues which gave them origin, and
WHEREAS, American citizens of Irish birth and
descent have just cause to be proud OF the Saints,
the heroes, the poets, the statesmen OF the faith
erland. and of that spirit of liberty which warm
ed into being by the genial radiance of christian
ity, the Irish nation have always exhibited, as
we'll in their repeated struggles to resist the en-
croachments and throw off the yoke of foreign
oppression ut home as in the liberal contribution
" hch its patriots have made to the advancement

CENTENNIAL CELEBRATIoN.-The citizens of
Westminster Mass, met on Saturday last and
voted to hold a centennial celebration of the
incorporation of the town, on the 10th Of Oc-
tober. Hon. CHARLES HUDSON of Lexington,
who was for many years resident of the place
and its leading citizen will deliver an historical
address on the occasion. The last of many rev.
dictionary patriots which that town furnished
in the war of independence, Mr. James Sawin,
died on Friday at the advanced age of 80 years.
A brother of his who was also pensioner died
few years since lacking only few days of be-
ing 100 years old. James Sawin was brought
to the settlement when only six months old and
continued to reside on the same place until his
decease. His life covered the whole period of
the incorporation of the town into less than
eighteen months.

AMERICAN BOARD OF FOREIGN Mission

AMERICAN BOARD OF FOREIGN Mission.
The receipts of the American Board of Com
misioners for Foreign Missions for July, were
S6O,0lss2. This is the largest sum received
during any one month since the Board was or
gained. The receipts for the month of June
and July amounted to about 100000. OF the
amount received for July, Massachusetts gave
more than one-third. The total receipts Tor the
year ending July 81, including dona' ions and
legacies, amounted to S326,00O. OF this sum
Massachusetts gave 100000. The deficit of
the year will be 100000, which, added to that
of last year, will make the dept $4,000. The
meeting of the Board in 1860 will be held in
Boston, and will close up the fiftieth year since
its organization. 1t is hoped that the haf-cen-
fury anniversary will tend to create a deeper
feeling in the religious community on the sub
ject of missions, incte to more cheerful Civ
ing, and thus wipe off the debt.

COUNTY SENATORS. - During the present
week we have been reliably informed that WIN.
HARRIS, Jr., will suffer his name to be used as
a candidate for Senator from this county. The
reason assigned for this departure from the
usual custom is the improper influences which
were made to bear upon the convention so eff
fectually as to leave Mr. HARRIs's name from
the ticket after one years service, contrary to
well established usage.
Whether or not this reason will be found
sufficiently operative on the minds of the free
men Of this county we have no means of de-
termining the results of the ballots next
Tuesday must decide that point. Its sufficient
for our purpose to say that we have in the field
ticket regularly nominated, unexceptionable
in its character so far as the nominees are con-
cerned, and every way entitled to the support
of the Republican party Our views in the
matter were fully expressed last week; we
therefore leave the whole issue to be decided at
the polls.

A FAMILY OF GovERNoRs.-The Saturday
Evening Gazette, in an interesting historical
sketch of the Boylston Market, mentions the
following noteworthy incident:
Levi Lincoln, who signed the Charter of the
Boylston Market Association, as Governor of
the Commonwealth, was the father of the last
Governor Levi Lincoln, and was Lieut. Cover
nor when Gov. Sullivan died, thereby becoming
Governor. Gov. Levi Lincoln, the elder, died
at Worcester, April IA, 1920, aged II. His
widow, Martha, died at the same place, April,
1928, and was followed to the grave by two
sons both of them Governors-Levi, Governor
Of Massachusetts, and Enoch, Governor of
Maine. There is probably no other instance on
record where mother, and she the widow of a
governor, has been followed to the grave by
two sons, themselves then governors of two
States in our Union.

WESTERN APPLEs.-The apple crop in New
England will be short, as compared with last
year, though We think it will turn out much lar
ger than many now anticipate. 1t is gratifying
TO learn, however. that at the West the supply
is abundant. Some of the early kinds, in ex-
ceent condition, are received daily in this city,
and splendid variety. the Bow Sweeting, have
been sold here as high as seven dollars per bar
rel There is no article, that with knowledge
and care in its production, and especially in
packing for market, that will YIELD on the whole,
so large per centum of profit, as the apple,
and we marvel that so little attention is paid to
the subject by the agriculturists of New Eng

An EDITOR IN PURSUIT OF HIS POCKET
BooK.-The editor of the Nashua Telegraph
gives a readable chapter of his experience in
Boston on a recent occasion:-
"The other night, when we stayed in Boston,
we got up In the morning-(a very singular CO.
incidence, some people may think -and came
down into the office of one of the big hotels,
when We suddenly discovered that our pocket
book was missing from its accustomed pocket
There was rather lively getting up stairs on
the part of this deponent. Everybody knows,
in a state of excitement, how very active the
mind and imagination are. As we mounted the
stars,we queried with ourself ARE We a robbed
indiyidual| Has some scamp of 'nipper
thief been practising his art at our cost? and
various other queries equally unanswered and
transferable at that instant, rushed through
our mind. And then we imagined, if it was so,
what our city contemporaries would say of it.
One, to add mcanness to the robbery, would
he'd his paragraph, A Country Editor Robbed
Another, to add Nervousness tothe crime, would
starte the world with, Country Mayor Robbed,
Another to excite indignation and curiosity, too,
would commence an 'Atrocious Outrage And
so we went on. and before we had run through
the probabilities in that regard, we had reached
the room we had occupied and there was the
pocket-book all safe and sound. But there
wasn't much money in it."

VERMONT STATuARy MARBLE. we have seen

VERMONT STATUARy MARBLE, we have seen
(says the n. Y. Com. Advertiser) from the quar-
ries of the Waterbury Quarrying Company, at
Shelbuns VT, which for purity of whiteness,
irmness Of grain, the facility with which it can
be worked, and its capability for receiving
high polish, equals, if it does not excel, any
Italian marble we have ever seen. The Compa-
ny we learn, have organized and commenced
operations under the most favorable auspices.
The marbles of Vermont, for statuary pur-
poses especially, are getting into just and wide
repute. That quarried in Shelburn, referred to
by the Adcertiser, has been pronounced by Ar
lists and Workers, to be every way equal to the
best Italian marble As respects both the quail
ty, and quantity, of this mineral contained in
her soil, Vermont may well claim to be the
MARBLE STATE. Her marble is superior, in
kind, to the Granite that has given soub,iquet
to our New Hampshire sister.
