our Ninrod proPensities and with an instructive
appreciation of our necessities, kindly handed us
on Saturday splendid pocket powder flask
covered with leather, the best thing in the shape
of q powder flask that we have ever seen. In
looking over their large and complete assortment
of sportsrnen's materials, embracing everything
necessary for the comfort and convenience of the
hunter, it was the only article needed to perfect
our fixments, and just in time to save nine-shil-
liugs and six more besides. AS this is the
season for game, sportsmen will do well to give
Messrs. Woods & Gilkeson call.

TIE LOST BA1LooNIsT.-The telegraph yes.
terday announced the safety of La Mountain and
Haddock, the balloonists, who were supposed
to have perished The following additional rar.
ticulars have been received:
La Mountain and Haddock are safe at Ottawa
(Bytown) in Canada. They landed about $50
miles north of Ottawa in the great Canadian
wilderness, at point about 80 miles west Of
Lake ST. John, the head of the SagueDay river,
and about midway between the St. Lawrence
river and James bay. The place is about 300
miles north of Watertown, SO that they must
have had northerly current This disproves
the story of the balloon having been seen 30
miles southeast of Watertown, over st. Law
rem CO county, unless the current suddenly
changed. La Mountain telegraphs that he has
lost everything. They were four days without
food and without the means of making fire.
They were fortunately discovered by Mr. Gam
eron, who was looking for timber, probably
along the head-waters of the Gatineu river
Indian guides were found, who brought them
down to Ottawa in bark canoes. They were
less than FIVE hours in the air, and must have
landed about 10 O'Clock at night, having trav-
elled at the rate of q mile minute, the balloon
being from four to five miles from The EARTH
This extraordinary voyage due north strikes a
hard blow at the favorite theory of steady
easterly current in the upper strata of the at
mosphere. Ten hours further travel in their
direction would have brought them to the point
where Sir John Franklin is supposed to have
perished

TIE GREAT EAsrERN.-The stockholders and
others interested in this great steamer must by
this time have experienced the hope deferred
which maketh the heart sick. The sailing OF the
vessel has been again delayed, and she will not
leave for this country until the 29th Instant
She was to sail from the Thames, on her trial
trip to Portland, in England, on the 9th, and re-
main at Portland till the 18th. Thence she pro-
ceeds to Holyhead, and from that point will COM
mence her transatlantic voyage. Passengers
will be taken at fares of from ninety to one hun
dred and twenty-five dollars. 1t was anticipated
that she would reach Portland, Maine, 10 from
six to seven days after leaving Holyhead.-
Should this trip prove successful, the Ounard
Company will at once build vessel of equal
size, although they have now in course of cree
ton eight steamers larger than the Persic.

Obituary Notices.

While we are always anxious to crafty the
friends of the departed by the publication OF
such tributes to their memory as may be furn-
ished, we are compelled, By theigreat, pressure
upon our columns, to decline obituary notices
of immoderate length. The established rule OF
newspapers is to charge for all such notices as
exceed ten lines, at the usual advertising rates.
We have never made any charge, and have gen.
orally allowed great licenee to writers; bat
must ask them to study condensation, in the fu-
ture, which alone will insure the publication Of
obituary notices. If the friend who sends US
notice covering over three pages of letter paper
will compress it into smaller compass we will
publish it with pleasure.

For the ,SDectnt0r

Messrs. Editors 1t seems to me that the
Common Council ofStaunton has overlooked the
interest of its citizens by permitting toll.gate
to be erected on the East of the Cemetery, when
the privilege was granted to put it West of the
Cemetery. Being large wood-hsuler | protest
against the toll.gate. In the first place, the
Common Council of Stanton has no right to
improve their streets at the expense Of the coun'
try people. In the second place | don't believe
that the Superintendent of the road has Legal
right to put up this gate at all; which right
intend to have fully investigated.
NowI would say to the people of Staunton
that to improve their streets at the expense
of the country people is poor economy, for we
will, OF course, raiee the PRICES of all kinds Of
produce aud wood, or else we will export it tc
other markets from Swoope's Depot,
propose to all who are interested in this
matter WEST of Staunton) to meet at Swoope's
Depot, on Saturday the 18th of this month, tc
consult together as to what would be the best
course to pursue in relation to the matter in
ouestion. A FARMER.

STANTON SPECTATOR AND OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

Episcopal CoNvRNTIoN.-TheT riennal Con-
vention of the Episcopal Church of the United
States, commenced its sessions in Richmond on
Wednesday last.
The Convention consists of two bodies-the
House of Bishops and the House of Clerical and
Lay Delegates, which last consists of four cler-
gymen and four laymen from each diocese, who
are chosen by the diocesan conventions, and
number in all between two and three hundred.
The two bodies sit separately from each other
but their joint action is necessary to the enact
ment of laws for the church. The @ invention
meets but once in three years and generally con-
tinues in session from ten days to two months.
The delegates to the Convention, both clerical
and lay, are an unusually fne.lookiDg body of
men, and include in their number many of the
most eminent ministers of the Episcopal Church.
AT 10 o'clock the Bishops entered st. Pauls
church from the vestry room, clad in full canon.
cals, and took their seats within the church.
The Introductory sermon was delivered by Rt.
Roy. Bishop Otey, of Tennessee, after the usual
morning services Of the Episcopal Church, con.
Quoted by the Rev. Messra. Hines and Quintard,
OF Tennessee. He selected for his text the 18th
verse Of the 10th chapter of Mark: "Verily | say
unto you, whatsoever shall not receive the king
dom of God as little child, he shall not enter
therein"
After tho close of the aerraon, the holy COM
manon was administered to largo number OF
persons, by 1T. Rev. Bishop Meade, Of Va, as.
sisted by other Bishops in attendance.
Rev. VIM. Creighton, ID. D., of New York,
was nQmiDated for President and the vote having
been taken, he was unanimously elected. On
taking the chair the President acknowledged tho
honor conferred, IN suitable terms.
The Bishop of Nova Scotia, who was present.
was invited to attend the sittings of the Conyen.
ton, and to take seat by the President Bish-
op Meade presides over the House Of Bishops.
| A motion TO hold the next triennia Conven-
ton at Chicago occasioned long debate on
Thursday. A motion to substitute New York
was lost, but no final action was taken on the
subject. The House Of Bishops expressed their
preference for Philadelphia,
On Friday the Dioceses of Kansas and Min.
nesota were admitted into nnion with the Con.
vention. The House of Deputies voted to hold
the next Convention at Chicago

VERY REMARKABLE.-The Boston Herald
nuts forth an account of the death of Henry
Olack, of Newport, Pa, who undertook to sew
err the head of hen, was attacked By rooster,
which spurred him on the hand into an artery.
About two weeks after the accident he was at
tackled with intense pain, o sickening sensation
of the heart, and his sufferngs became insup-
portable. At this date remarkable occurrence
took place. He drew his entire frame together,
as though to gain strength for an act, and his
voice broke forth like the Growing of rooster.
This was repeated from time to time, and such
was the similarity of voices, that the outside
listeners asserted their belief that it was roos-
ter. After four days Of indescribable suffering
he died and crowed no more

OoNGPRss-Congress, says the Louisville
journal, will soon assemble, and we may expect
stormy tunes. There will be abundance of all
kinds of material out of which political storms
are manufactured. Not only will attempts be
made upon that theatre to arrange all the pre-
liminaries of the next Presidential battle but the
battle itself will in part be fought, and that too,
in fierce and desperate spirit. The events of
the Winter at the capital will.unquestionabl af-
feet deeply the political destinies OF our country
for many years to come. In such times, every
man who wishes to be good citizen should keep
himself informed of what is going on, and, to do
this. he must tahe good newspaper.
