PUBLIC DINNERs.-Publicg ormandizine ant
guzzling has of late been carried to an un
usual extent by the Bcstonians. Their public
dinners come so frequently that digestion car

not swallowed in minute globules nor the drinks
taken in infntesimal dutions. According tc
the reports one would think them allopaths in
practice if homeopathic in principle.

EXTENSIVE AND HEAVY FRosTs.-The great
frost of Sunday night last will long be remem-
bered in New England Elsewhere we have
given some account of its ravages in this vicin-
ity. The Manchester american says that all
up the Merrimoc valley, beans, tomatoes, grape
blossoms, cucumbers, squashes, and to some
extent corn, were entirely cut down. In gar
dens, however, fences, trees and shubbery par
TALLY protected thcm and on the highlands no
damage was done.
At the West the heaviest frost was on Satur-
day night. Telcgraphic reports of injury to
the growing crops are very alarming. There
was snow on the st. Lawrence, and as far south
as Cincinnati the reports tell of the most seri-
Gus damage not only to the small fruits, but to
apples, grapes, corn, wheat, and potatoes
From the northern portion of Ohio, and the
western counties of New York, the reports are
equally discouraging. The damage may not be
as great as the reports indicate, but the effects
of the frost must prove very disastrous.
CLEVELAND, Monday June 6, 1859.
There was a heavy frost throughout the nor
thern part OF ONO on saturday night, and the
what crop was badly injured or destroyed, and
corn, grapes and potatoes frozer.

A heavy and disastrous frost prevailed in this
vicinity on Saturday night, killing the growing
corn and potatoes, and all garden vegetables
1t is feared that the various fruits have also
been cut off. The loss, it is anticipated will be
very heavy.
BUFFALO, Monday, June 6, 1859.
This city and vicinity were visited by Sc
we're frost on Saturday night, destroying the

places this morning, and the crops, it is feared,
are much injured.
CINCINNATI, Monday, June 6, 1859.

Gov. GooDwIN's MEssAGR.-The inaugural
message of Gov. Goodwin, of New Hampshire,
is carefully prepared and judicious political
paper. He favors repeal or material modif-
cation of the peddler law, but is opposed to
disturbing the liquor law. He recommends a
short session of the legislature, economy in the
administration of the State government, and
alludes to the fact that the public debt has been
decreased over $4,000 during the past year.
He trusts that the enactment of protective
tariff will be adopted by Congress. In regard
to Slavery, he says:-
"New Hampshire yields to no State in her adher-
ence to the Federal Union and the Constitution, and
her people will never tolerate the doctrines of multi
hcation or the idea Of dissolution of this Confeder-
acy, but Willie she allows to all other States their
rights, she will maintain hers.
'She will never NEEDLE with the domestic institu-
tions of her sister States but is bound to prevent the
extension of the curse of Slavery territory now
nee She will rejoice to truly national and pa
triotlc administration restored and the principles OF
the Fathers of the country again administered"

LATER FROM EURoPE.-7he Var beam
The steamship city Of Washington with Liver
pool dates to May 25, arrived at New York this
week. The news is highly important.
The first battle between the Austrians and the
allied French and Sardinians was fought at Mon
tebello, % miles north east of Aessandria, on
the 2lst. The Austrians were defeated and
obliged to retreat, with a loss, according to the
French accounts of from 1900 to 2000. The
allies lost from 600 to 700, with many officers.
The engagement was commenced by the Aus
TRANS, who, under Gen Stallion, attacked the
advanced posts of Marshal paraguay d. Hill
iers. They were driven back by Gen Foreys'
division, after fierce combat of four hours du-
ration. The allies carried Montebelo but did
not pursue the Austrians. Some of the Pied
montese cavalry were in the engagement. Two
hundred Austrians, including a colonel, were
taken prisoners and sent to Marseilles. The
wounded of the allies were taken to Alessand-
ria.
The Austrian account simply says that Gen
Stadion pushed forward Reconnaissance by q

after hot fight with French force of superior
strength, retreated behind the Pc in perfect or

Tn. actual strength of the French in the en-
gagement is not stated reports say from 5000 to
1000, besides the regiment of Sandman cavalry.

extreme left of the Sardil ian army, under Gen
Cialdino, forced passage over the river Sesia,
putting the Austrians to fight. Other trihing
engagements are reported Gen Garibaldi had

"PoLITIcAL ScoUNDREIs." Our friend East
man of the Patriot winds off his description of
set of democrats in vermont under the Cap
tain of "Political Scoundrels," with the follow
ing flattering picture; They are "a set of pol
itical guerrilas, fighting anywhere for pay; low,
stingy, mean, under ground, false, treacherous,
dishonest; without the least appreciation of the
common courtesies of civilized society; dead to
the most ordinary rules of professional honor;
descending to any baseness, hcsitating at no
meanness; Cow Boys politically, snakes socially,
traitors professionally, and puppies personally
this is the set that claim to control Mr..
Buchanan in Vermont, and if they are not n
lot of political scoundrels, in heavens name
where are they to be found?'

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

LIGHTIxo THE STREErs.-Our village readers will
bear in mind the meeting this Saturday evening 10
consider the matter Of lighting streets with gns,
on condition the posts and fixtures are furnished with
out expense to the village The only objection that
be made to this proposition is the expense attend
ing it. Could the whole thing be put into successful
operation without any additional taxation we presume
cvcryman in the village would vote in the affirmative.
Most of our citizens will probably think with us that
to light the entire village to the extent the streets in
Boston arc lighted would not pay. The expense
would be all out of proportion to the benefits growing
out Of such illumination. But it does that few
lights stationed at the entrance. to some Of the most
important avenues In the village and kept burning
only few hours in the evening would afford an in
creased comfort and convenience to almost every in
habant of the village, adequate return for the sd-
ditional expense. There but few tax payers who
do not have occasion to visit Mun-street during
evening in the week. business at the post-ofcc
Of the stores and to such street lights would
many times be great convenience.
We have heard the idea suggested by some opposed
to these lights that it measure designed princi
pally foi the accommodation of the wealthy portion
Of citizens, and the convenience Of visitors, and
therefore should not be encouraged by those of
moderate means Granting this is true, (Which is by
means the case this sort of reasoning is very fall
lacious. Whatever can DO done to increase the
amount of tax-payng property Of the village is con-
ducve to the prosperity and growth Of the village
and every dollar Of money that is brought from abroad
and expended here promotes the same result. There
can be no such thing diversity Of interest in
this matter between any classes Of our citizens. Up
