LETTER FROM NIAGARA.
NIAGARA, N. Y, June 81, 1860

H1ANAhA, ~. 81 JuHC IobO
DEAR ANGLo:-The ladies' strawberry
festival spoke of in my last came off last
evening A large number of persons were
present, many of whom were from the ad-
joining villages in the States and Canada.
The receipts, have been informed, far
surpassed the expectations Of the manag-
ers.
A literary association has been formed
here since my last, entitled the Niagara
Literary Association" 1t has enrolled
some twenty or more members, and has
thus far proved very successful. 1t meets
every Monday evening, and different ques-
tons are proposed and discussed. 'Does
a person repent from fear or from the hope
of reward :" was the question at issue at
their last meeting. 1t was discussed by
Mr.. w. III. II. and Mr.. c., both of Cana
da. Quite number of visitors were pres
ent to hear the discussion, which did not
prove to be as ably argued on either side
as was expected by many The question
was decided in favor of Mr.. T., he having
produced the most conclusive evidence.
The decision did not prove satisfactory to
both parties, and Mr.. c. begged leave to
withdraw from the association 1t is hoped
by all that the gentleman will reconsider
the action he has taken, as his loss will be
much regretted.
According to public call, the Odd Eel
lows who have resorted here this season
held meeting at the house of fellow
member residing in the village. have
been credibly informed that fourteen or
fifteen were present from different lodges
in the States and Canadas. After the call
of the meeting was read, they formed them
selves into protective association, adopt
ing Constitution, and electing a Presi-
dent, President, Secretary, and Treas
urer Their meetings are held every
Tuesday evening. Committees are to be
appointed to attend to the sick aud cores
pond with the different lodges of which
they are members, The idea, I think. is
commemorate one, and a worthy prece-
dent for the many watering places where
members of this and other associations re-
sort annually.
On the evening of the 18th, public
meeting was called for the purpose of tax
ing into consideration and making prepar-
ations for the first of August but owing
to some dissatisfaction regarding the pro-
gramme of the day, after several hours
discussion, the meeting adjourned sine de,
without making any preparations whatev-
err Here we have two large hotels, each
of which employs about forty men. A ri
valry appears to exist between these re-
spective parties, and each of them wishes
to take the lead in the celebration. trust,
however, that this division of sentiment
will cease to exist, as, by uniting in this
and all other demonstrations, we can show
the Anglo-Saxon that we are not yet pre-
pared to dissolve the union that binds us
together. CATARACT.

MORAL WORTH APPRECIATED.
CHARLIE.

Mr.. EDIroR:-A pleasing incident oc-
Cured in our beautiful little city recently
A eolored lady, a member of the Baptist
Church was buried, and her funeral was
attended by some of our leading citizens,
the procession being headed by the mayor
of the city. The odious distinction which
caste often makes between the white and
colored, was in this instance suspended
We learned that this colored lady main
tanned very high moral character, and
commanded the respect of all that knew
her. Many are the cruel insults heaped
upon our colored friends from preiudices
arising from slavery and caste; yet we be-
lieve they have it in their power in the
free States greatly to mitigate them by re-
spectiDg themselves and cultivating high
moral principles connected with religious
life. And here let me say, for the credit
of the city Of Auburn, that her glorious
common schools, and many, if not all, her
churches, are open to the colored people
without distinction AS a Southern man
by birth, have often wished that more OF
the free people of color in the South would
move here, that they might educate their
children. j. D. LONG.

spoken in the highest terms of it. The
Committee on Fire, of the city council,
held meeting couple Of days ago, and
after having inspected the apparatus, gave
him hattering testimonial.
a preliminary meeting for taking steps
to celebrate the 1st of August in this city,
was held last evening. After appointing a
committee to draft programme, the meet
ing adjourned, subject to the call of the
chairman. We have not as yet commenced
making preparations for the reception of
our Prince MARGARET.

curious but always respectful attention;
and when, fatigued with walking, they
prefer to ride, they are gratifed to find, as
another evidence of increasing public SYM

thing will be done to make their stay
agreeable, both to themselves and to us,

warm regards, but also our equally warm

Mas. PARrINGToN ON REMEDIES. This
is an age Of excavation in medicine, sure
enough p said Mrs. Darlington, as she
glanced at the column of new and remark
able specifics; why will people run after
metaphysics, and them nostrums, when,
by taking some simple prugatory, they can
get well so soon? It's all nonsense, it is,
and if people instead of dosing themselves
with calumny and bitters, would only take
exercise and air little more, and wash
them with care and coarse towel, they
would be all the better for it.
We are well satisfied that Mrs Parting
ton never indulged in DIR. Clarke's Sherry
Wine Bitters, for she would not have coup
led this household article with "calumny."

COMPEN SATIoN.

Let US say be cheerful,
Whatsoever betide
Life is not all fearful
There's sunny side.
Vernal zephyr's Danish
Winters frosts afar
Midnight's specters vanish
With the morning star.
Every deep depression,
With its chills and blights,
Has compensation
In the neighboring heights.
Birds of plumage plainest
Lift the sweetest song
Pangs that rack the keenest
Seldom larry long.
Oft the richest uses
Come from humblest things,
As the marsh produces
Tribes of brilliant wings.
Larks, at Heavens gate singing,
Nestle in the corn;
Mountains, proudly springing,
Were in valleys born.
Churn'd from ocean-chamber,
Mid the tempest's roar,
See the precious amber
Thrown upon the shore
So each stormy trial
Yields us fruits of good
Wisdom, self-denial,
Strength, and fortitude
Ravens once did cater
To Ehjah's need,
And fish for Peter
Tribute money paid.
There's charming story,
How the widows cruise,
Blessed BY prophet hoary,
Poured an oyerplus.
Thorniest Affections
Sharper might have been;
Healing benedictions
Mitigate the pain.
See the ark rise higher
With the swelling food,
Ever drawing higher
To the Mount of God
It's sight of beauty
When noble heart
Bravely does its duty,
Though each fibre smart
Courage, faith, and patience,
Principles divine,
In the worst vexations
Like the rainbow shine.

Mr.. EDIroR:- We have discovered that

iterate that this earth does not move-here

that our city is stationary, and as Toronto

does not novel But this is a sophism,

syllogism; if you still doubt-come and

when His Royal Highness arrives he will

Will you not come over to greet our
Prince If you should be SO inclined, ]
will recommend you to the Revere House,
kept by John Riley, who will take extra
pains in your special case, to see that even
your minor wants be supplied your
meals will be served in your bed chamber,
Or perhaps in a mock dining room; and |
do assure you that your gentlemanly land
lord will always be on the qua gfve to
make you as comfortable as possible in
your isolation, and to prevent you from
appearing at the table d'hote.
The Rev. Mr.. Gordon, black English
gentleman, received these marked atten-
uohs at ne above named hotel and if you
should be similarly treated, rest assured
fnat It will not be by true Britain, but
generally by a citizen of the Venitian-I
mean to say, American Republic; or
thorough Taneyist please pass over the
word.
There has been so much said concern
ing the African Civilization Society, that |
must add my quota to keep the ball in
motion Mr. ] B, Smith, during his fly
ING visit last winter, advocated, most elo-
quently, the claims of the above named
society, before large and respectable
audience. After having concluded his
speclous argument, several questions were
propounded by the skeptical, to which
evasive answers were returned, for instance,
Pr. A. /. Augusta asked Mr.. Smith,
What is the difference between the Arr.
can Civilization Society and the American
COLONIZATION Society 7" to which he replied
There is as much difference between the
two Societies as there is between DIR.
Augusta and J. B. Smith"
The Rev. W. F. Clarke arrived here
last month from Vancouver's Island. He
deserves to be kindly remembered by the
friends OF humanity for the noble stand
which he took in opposition to the attemp
OF his congregation to ostracise the colored
members, which led him to abandon his
charge. He delivered an interesting Lac.
lure on British Columbia.

SAW THREE GENERATIONS MARRIED.
Among the guests at the wedding of Miss
Maggie K. Harmon and John S. Edwards,
Esq, on the evening of Tuesday, the 25th ult.,
was Mrs. Van R. Humphrey, of Hudson
She had been present at the wedding Of Mr..
and Mrs. Heman Harmon, the father and
mother of the bride, and also at that of the
grandparents of the bride, George Parsons,
ESQ, and wife. All three of the marriages
took place in this town. Mrs. II. confesses
that her recollection Of the last mentioned
wedding is rather indistinct, owing probably
to the fact that she was only ten months old
at the time, but insists that she was wide
awake and saw the ceremony performed.
The mode of conveying the lady guests to
the wedding was primitive, but well adapted
to the location, Warren then having no side
walks, and being famous for the depth and
Senacity of its mud. Mr.. Parsons, (the bride
groom) carried Mrs Pease, (the mother Of
Mrs. Humphrey behind him on horseback,
and the infant Mrs. H., in his arms. Most
Of the ladies present on the occasion were
brought by him in the same manner Var
