a lame leg, caused by an upset in the express
wagon, which has bothered me good deal,

] am going now to devote myself to curing it.
Up to this time have had no chance l have
been riding almost constantly since my acct

ing the Rocky Mountains and looking through
the new gold diggings, and my conviction is
that there is no mistake about it. There is
gold here, but it is harder to get it by digging
than in almost any other way. A few will
make fortunes here, while many will lose all,
and go away utterly bankrupt
But the glorious Rocky Mountains are them
selves worth visit. They are not range
merely, but chaos of mountains three hun
dred miles broad with their forks, their snowy
peaks, their grassy hill-sides, their ravines,
and their glorious forests. Such clean sweet
miles on miles of fragrant, softly whispering
pines, you never imagined. The air is glori-
ously pure, the hillside dotted with springs,
the ravines musical with running streams that
never dry up. | wish l had one friend to go

printing and circulating of votes against the
Two Years Amendment. The Post says
The only printed votes againstit used at the
election, were also furnished by the Democratic
State Central Committee, while the American
Republican Committee procured the printing
and circulation of those by which the "secret
villainy' was passed"
We are surprised that even the Boston Post
has the nerve to invent and print in Massa-
chusetts such statement as this. 1t may be
that the Democratic State Committee circu-
lated votes against the Two Years Amend
ment; but we made considerable enquiry at
the time, and could not learn anything that
they were doing anything of the kind. All
the votes against the amendment circulated in
this neighborhood, and, so far as we know,
all that were calculated in this county, save in
Fitchburg, wert printed at this office. In ev-
cry county in the State, the Republicans
printed and circulated votes against the
amendment. And, on the other hand, not a
vote for the amendment was circulated by the
Republican State Committee. The work was
done by individuals
The Boston Post should begin its next arti-
Gle on the. subject by telling the exact truth Of
the Republicans, if it can; and also by making
!, some reply to its political coadjutor, the Dos
ton Pilot The Pilot, on its own knowledge o.
/ the facts, charges that many Democrats favor
ed the passage of the amendment, being desir
1|oys to please the Fillmore Know Nothings and
| harm the Republicans.

INTERESTING CEREMONY AT THE STATE
REFORM SCHooL.-JLr. Editor 1t was my
privilege to be at the State Reform School
Sunday, and to hear the reading of the quar-
terly report of the Sabbath School connected
with that institution. l was deeply interested
! in hearing rShoorSed the amount of Scripture
learned during the quarter by the different
classes OF the school; especially as | remem-
bered that these boys, when at their homes,
with few exceptions, spent their Sabbaths in
the streets, and at places where the vicious re-
| sort
AT the beginning of the quarter, March 81,
there were In the school 557 boys. There
nave been received since then, sc, and So have
lett, making the present number 55S.
The school is divided in thirty-eight classes.
taught by officers of the institution and NV
kind friends from Westboro' village. All the
boys who are able to do it are required to COM
mt to memory and recite the same portion of
scripture, averaging seven or eight verses per
Sabbath This would amount to something
less than $4,000 verses for the quarter But
the boys have actually recited 1894 verses
during twelve Sabbaths. The eight boys who
recited the largest number of verses during the
quarter, recited 1869, more than 1000 each.
There was greater eXertion made by the
boys In committing Bible verses in consequence
OF an offer being made at the beginning of the
should recite the greatest number of verses
when theyhad not previously rected should re-
ceive prizes in books Of different value. Twen-
ty-one books were given out as prizes. The boy
who recited the largest number of verses re-
ceived two dollar book. The boy who drew
the t'oentytirst prize-a book worth rs cents
recited AGO verses. During the last six
months, one boy has recited the whole new
Testament, and is now reciting in Exodus in
the Old Testament. The moral effect of
learning the Scripture is clearly seen in almost
every boy who perseveres in the good work.
These boys, as general thing, improve more
rapidly than the Others in both intellect and
character.
After the report was read, Mr.. Charles w.
Rice of Worcester through whose efforts the
money was raised to purchase the prize books,
made very appropriate address to the BOYS.
AT the close of his remarks he introduced the
Hon. A. H. Bullock, Mayor of Worcester, who
spoke in a very happy manner for about twen-
ty minutes to his youthful audience In clos
ing, he told them that he would see to it that
prizes of the same value, and to the same num-
bers, should be forthcoming for another quar-
ter. The kind and encouraging words spoken
by these gentlemen could but have good eff
feet upon the character Of those who were adj
dressed. Having reached my home before the
light of day had entirely disappeared, felt
that Sabbath day at the State Reform School
was well speht. PHI

HALF SERVICE MAIL ADVANCEMENT
We understand that instructions have been re-
ceived from the Post Office Department at
Washington, that after the first of July next
the mail is to be run between this city and Or
ange through Paxton, Coldbrook, Barre and
Athol Depot only every other day, instead of
every day, as at present, and also the same in
regard to the mail to Holden and Rutland.
The change from daily to half service mails
on this route, it is stated, is made in conse-
quence of the failure Of the Post 0ilc6Appw-
priation Bill ~ tlM last sesSjon ofaCo1sfess.
We understand that the days decided on
which to forward the ipsl, yntsSr Slese in
structions, win be Tuesdays, Thursdays and
Saturdays.
We hear q a great deal of dissatisfaction in
the country towns interested, as far as heard
from, with the decision of the Department at
Washington, in regard to this new mail ar
rangement Public meetings were held in
Paxton, Barre and Holden, on Saturday eve
ming last, and much indignant feeling was ex-
pressed, and we think justly so, at the idea of
having only tri-weekly communication with
the city by mail, and committees were chosen
to obtain signatures TO petitions and remon-
strances against the contemplated change.

KANsAs.-The Leavenworth Times of June
18th states that the Kansas election for dele
gates TO the Constitutional Convention has re.
suited as follows Republicans 30; Democrats
70; and two doubtful. The Republican major
ity is large enough for all practical purposes,
and quite large enough for the wholesome ac-
ton Of the party. John Randolph was
accustomed to say, "the best of all major
tiles is a majority of one" Too large a
majority makes party liable to become bro
ken and demoralized. The party that has
only small majority cannot afford much
time for internal quarrels. But it is now
well understood that the Republicans cast
majority Of the legal votes in Leaven-
worth and Doniphan Counties In Leayen-
worth some fifty Democrats are in Jail on
charges of illegal voting; and more are to fol.
low them. If no illegal votes had been cast,
the Democrats would not be able to claim five
members of the Convention. And yet, most
Of the Democrats there now claim to be in
favor Of making Kansas a free State.

LETTER FROM UxBR1DeE.

Trial Of Moeing liaclines-Ihe Hay Crop
UxBRIDGE, June 81, 1859
This afternoon, at two O'Clock, a grand trial
OF moving machines was had on the farm of
Amos e. Burritt, in the north part of Tx
bridge. A large number of spectators were
present, and much interest was manifested,
The ground having been selected, a doubler
was cut through the middle, leaving the pieces
to be cut as nearly equal in size as possible.
The firstpiece was moved in twenty-nine min
utes with Ketchum's machine, manufactured
by Nourse, Mason, & Co., and arranged for
one or two horses. 1t was drawn in this in
stance by two horses The second piece was
moved in thirty-one minutes. The machine
used was Manny's. On the first round with
Mannys machine, one of the knives or teeth
was broken, and minute or two was occupied
in replacing it, so it will be seen that the diff.
ference in time in which the two machines per-
formed their work was very trifiing indeed
The opinion seemed TO prevail that the Reich
um machine was of higher draught. weighed
considerably less, did its work easier and neat
er, and was more convenient to handle. The
interest manifested by the farmers assembled
to witness the trial, and the high degree of sat
lsiacllon sogenerally expressed by those who
were present Indicate plainly that the old fash
loned scythe and snaith have seen their palmi.
est days IN this vicinity, and that we are soon
TO secure our hay, as we already do almost eve.
rything else, by the aid of machinery.
The hay fields about here were severely in
Jured-the crop being in many places badly
winter killed-but the long rains have caused
a large growth of grass, notwithstanding. and
should the weather be warm for the next ten
days, the crop will be far beyond the average.
Yours, GEoRGos.
