Egauntain' Scenery.

We who live among the sublime scenes of the
green hills and are daily accustomed to the love-
ly beauties of the quiet wales, think but little
OF the raptures with which stranger looks up
on our Green Mountains.
Mountain scenery, beyond all other forms and
aspects of nature, generates strong local attach
ment. The most intense love of country has al
ways been found in jewellers among the hills
No homes have been fought for with such ear
nest, self sacrificing patriotism, as wild and oven
barren rocky businesses. Mountaineers can be
destroyed in their homes more easily than they
can be driven from their homes and none feel
the hardSbips of exile and repatriation SO keen
ly as they. Summer tourists are bound by the
same law of attraction. On other routes of
travel they seek the zest of novelty, and are per-
petualy exploring regions previously unvisited
but the mountain journey or sojourn invites their
return for season after season, and the same steps
are retraced, the same haunts revisited, with an
interest," fascination, and joy that never reach
their climax. This Is due in part, we doubt
not, to merely physical experiences. The pure,
thin, bracing air of elevated regions is inhaled
with conscious luxury, which seldom accom-
panies the process of breathing on the plain or
by the sea-shore. Thesum Of vitality is doubled,
and the life Of two days seems condensed into
one. The undulating paths, the alternate as
cent and descent, bring in turn all the muscles
employed in locomotion into exercise, and give
them in turn relief and relaxation, 30 that not
only does the enthusiastic pedestrian find his ca
pacity enhanced. but, as we have learned by re-
peated trial, the horse, in whose case the jour-
ney is mere affair of muscle can measure day
by day greater distance, and for greater num-
Der of successive days, in a billy country than
on level ground
But the transcendent charm of mountain
scenery is its unceasing novelty. On no two
days, for no two successive hours, is the piano.
rama the same. Sunlight, cloud, and vapor are
presented in combinations that change as often,
and are as incapable of repeating themselves, as
the groups of glittering objects in the kaleido-
scope. The caps, wreaths, and fllets of azure
mSts, the shadows Of moving clouds, the pris
matte hues that clothe barren crags with trans
figuring glory at sunset, the passage of dense
columns of vapor among the hills and over the
valleys are at eve.y moment as fresh joy to the
beholder as if the life had never heen seen be-
fore. The midsummer day is too short, the brief
midsummer night too long, for feast of beau.
ty and grandeur served by elemental spirits that
know how to greet their guest with new sur
prise at every moment.

dozen or fifteen miles might be added to the
length of the city in this direction, since there
is nothing but an unbroken succession of towns
and villages for this distance which are as popu-
lous and well-built as the city itself. In cross
ing the city from the shore to the western out

then proceeded on horseback for ten miles more,
making twelve and half in the whole, while in
other places it may be wider still. According
to the lowest estimate, the city covers an area
equal to seven of the New England farming

other at right angles-streets lined with houses

crowded with moving and stationary masses as

said, in writing of kissing, "We are in favor of
"a certain degree of shyness when kiss is pro-

and when the fair one gives it, let it be admin

Immediately after it the effect is greater. She

The Asia brings Liverpool dates to the lst.
Previous accounts to Aug. 2Sth from Naples,
announced that the Neapolitan troops were
attacked by the Garibaldians near Piale, by
whom they were surrounded and defeated,
when an armistice was proposed.
The news by the Asia is that Naples re-
mains quiet and that nothing of importance
has occurred at Naples or Calabria. Carl
baldi had left Calabria destination not known;
but i: was reported he had entered Monte
Leone. Hiswhole army had reached the main
land.
Tranquility prevailed in Syria, and the ex-
ecution ofthe leaders in the Christian massa-
cres was going on. At Damascus l67 had
been executed, and of these llO belonged to
the local police. They were shot in public.
The Others, including members Of the first
families in the country, were hanged. Other
parties were sentenced to hard labor at Con-
stantinople. Some 4, 500 troops had landed
at Beirout.

The Eighth National Fair of the United

the Fair Grounds six miles from Cincinnati
on the 18th, UNDER favorable weather au-
spices. The crowd in attendance at the in

they never fail to get them in Ohio or abroad.
In the mechanical and other departments, the

As usual, the Ohio Mechanics Institute
embraced the opportunity to open an ezhibi-
ton on its own account, instead Of fostering
the Fair from abroad with the patronage of
its best articles.

EnII nrnn Aernnnnt.

Ballooning is but poor business at best;
ltis risky, pays nothing, and benefits nobody.
Blowing soap bubbles Is less dangerous and
quite as productive Of pleasure and profit
Three or more lives have been lost within a
few years BY balloon ascensions in this coun-
try, and the hair-breadth escapes have been
numerous and marvellous The proposed
trips across the Atlantic have all been fail
ures, involving much expense, without valu-
able returns to science or anything else. As
tensions promised here on the 10th and llth
cost the parties handsome amount, which
was all out of pocket The balloon was
partly inflated on the llth, when the wind
and rain caused a sudden collapse.
A Prof Shotts-all aeronauts claim to be
thus ridiculously dubbed-made an ascen-
sion on the 18th When about 100 feet up,
the balloon burst and he came down stand
ing on the basket very suddenly, alighting
on the levee. He escaped with only a badly
mashed ankle. Shots was more lucky than
sensible.

Man to be Hungi

This is not very startling announcement.
There are always men to be hung, besides a
good many others who lin the worlds judg-
ment) richly deserve hanging. But only
think of the crime for which man now lies
under sentence of death in Camden, Arkan-
sas, as we find reported in the ST. Louis Ex-
press;
A MAN SENTENCED TO BE HUYG FOR CRCU-
LATING THE n. Y. TRIBUNE.-Some time since
a very respectable and well-kEown citizen of
st. Louis, named Henry A. Marsh, established
news depot at some point in Texas. Sub
| seuuently, he established other depots in
Camden, Ark, and Memphis, Tenn. A few
weeks since he received an order at his Cam
den depot for fifty copies of the New York
Tribune. Asa matter of business, Marsh un-
dertook to fill the order, and the package ar
rived in due course of time, while he was
absent at Memphis. 1t having been noised
about Camden that the Tribune was about
being circulated, through the medium-indi-
rectly, however-Of Mr. Marsh, a Committee
of three men were appointed to 60 after Mr.
| Marsh and bring him back to Camden. Ac-
cordingly, they proceeded on their mission,
and one night captured their unsuspecting
victim, in Memphis, and conveyed him on
board a steamer and locked him in a state
room. The captain of the boat, on learning
their intention, refused to convey the party,
and they were obliged to convey their captive
across the river in a yawl. Arriving in
Camden, Mr.. Marsh was arraigned or the
charge of circulating seditious and incendiary
documents, was convicted and SENTENCED TO
BE HUNG. Time was, however, given him to
send for his wife, and permission granted
| him to procure from citizens of st. Louis
certificate of former good character, respect
ability. and loyalty. The wife of Mr. Marsh
has arrived in this city, en- route for Camden,
and is stopping at Barnum's Hotel, awaiting
the completion Of a petition signed by many
well-known citizens, of all political parties,
for the relief of the unfortunate man whose
only crime is embraced in the faithful dis
charge of his business relations. Mrs. Marsh
will leave for Camden to-day with the petit
ton, numerously signed, with the heartfelt
| prayer of the citizens of st. Louis for the
safety of her husband from the hands of fanat-
ical FIRE catering captors.

The Breck nnd Doug GuIc

The Hon. D. s. Dickinson made a long
speech to Breckenridge meeting at Bing-
hamton on Saturday. The following is one
of the passages which fell from the lips of
the venerable and distinguished orator:
"Douglas and Hunts Homogeneous Fusion
in the State of New York will not come
within fifty thousand votes of Lincoln. And
I advise my friends, if there are any who are
dissatisfied with the view of Slavery laid
down in the platform Of the National Demo-
cracy to pack their Duds and leave Ior the
Republican Camp without delaying one mo-
ment in the Fusion halfway house. The
gulf between the National Democrats and
the Douglas men is as wide as was that be-
tween the rich man and Lazarus

est Abe majority over the @Douglas-Bell-Ev-
erett- Confusion" much too low. 1t says
"LincOln will beat their party full one hun

Cuynhogn Boy in Minnesota.

We arc much pleased to notice that the Re-
publicans of young and energetic Minnesota
have put in nomination Charles McIlrath,
Esq, formerly of East Cleveland, for Audi
tor Of State. Mr. McIlrath was born in
Cuyahoga county, and was noted for his mod
esty and diligence when a lad In the fall
of 1850 he filed the humble place of a brake
man on the New York & Eric Railroad, and in
theshort space Of three months was promoted
to the post Of Cor ductor from Port Jervis to
Susquehannah, adistance oflO3 miles, the re-
sponsible duties Of which he discharged to
-theentire satisfaction Of the company TILT
summer Of 1854, when he resigned and con-
nected his fortune with the young and grow
ing Northwest.
Mr. McIlrath is eminendy qualified by
tilents, integrity and a high sense Of honor,
tofn The Office designated, and the patriotic
citizens Of our sister State will secure a vig-
liant and faithful officer in his ction. We
confidently expect to have the pleasure Of
announcing his success in sixty days, and of
congratulating him and the Republicans of
Minnesota on the honor conferred bv them On
REery deserving Cuyahoga boy.
