the Rev. Mr.. Cushman, who was to
preach, came in, and seeing a stranger in
his place, asked one the deacons who he
was. Nobody knew. So Mr.. Cushman
ascending the steps, took his seat along
side the stranger. The compliments Of
the day were passed, the organ meanwhile
playing the voluntary. The stranger
takes up the hymn book to select the
hymn, but not recognizing the book, ask
ed Mr.. Cushman if that was the book
used in that church. Mr.. Cushman re-
piled, Yes The stranger then asked
Mr.. Cushman if he was to preach, and
receiving an affirmative answer, said,
There must be some mistake here, as
Mr.. Parker requested me to fill his place
this afternoon Bless you,' replied Mr..
Cushman, this is the South Baptist
Church, the South Congregational Church
is just below With many apologies
for the mistake the stranger took his hat
and retired gracefully, though somewhat
in haste down the side aisle, amid the
half-suppressed smiles of the congrega-
ton, reaching Mr.. Parker's church just
in time to allay the fears of the congre-
cation assembled there, that they were
not going to have any minister to oficiate
that afternoon"

ing to make any impression, they advanc-
ed in column across the plain directly in
front of the Vermont troops, but being
warmly received, suddenly wheeled, pass
ed down to their right and charged upon
Hancock's lines, driving them in. Gen.
Doubleday moved to the assistance of
Hancock, and while he was forming troops
in front of the enemy, Gen. Stannard.
whom he characterizes as an officer of
quick eye on the battle field, without
waiting for orders, hurled his brigade
upon the flank and rear of the attacking
column. They broke and fed in great
disorder. To this prompt action on the
part of Gen. Stannard and the vigorous
charge of the Vermont boys, Gen. Doub-
leday attributes the victory, for if it had
not been for that, he thinks the rebels
would have completely broken our lines
and compelled the abandonment of the po'
sition. This coming from so distinguish
ed an officer, and one so closely connected
with the Vermont troops on the battle
field, will be extremely gratifying to the
many who think that the troops from
this state have not had the praise thei>
conduct has merited. d.-Manchester Jour-

THE LANDSLIDE IN SHELBURNE.

Mr.. Editor On Thursday last l went
with Mr.. Nelson Newell to visit the place
on his farm where this singular occur
renee took place on the 18th inst. 1t is
about half mile south east of Shelburnc
village. The whole surface of the ground,
partly pasture and partly covered with
forest trees, for about 25 by 40 rods in
diameter, which was before quite uneven,
seems to have moved 20 or 80 feet by the
action of some invisible agency lying be-
meath. In some places the earth has
sunk 20 or 80 feet, and in others it has
risen much higher than before. Flags
which were growing in low places, are
now on an elevation of ten feet more
above their former beds. Trees from IL
to Is inches in diameter have been thrown
up several feet; others have slid from
embankments and removed 80 feet-some
of them still standing upright and are
doing we'll, others leaning in various di-
rections; some are split by the strain on
their roots; others are broken off. A
ridge of earth 80 feet high and Of about
the same width, with steep sides, was
split lengthwise almost perpendicularly,
and portion of it carried off, with the
large trees on it, leaving others standing
on the cliff of the other part. The bed
of the stream called River La Plotte, is
raised in one place Is feet from its form.
er depth A pile of hundreds of tons of
blue clay was thus thrown up, and was
found covered with eels and other kinds
Of fish, and the stream was turned out of
its former channel. The surface Of the
ground is broken. and cracks appear in
the earth from few inches to some feet in
width, and several feet in depth-and the
whole gives faint idea of tropical
earthquake. This movement was doubt
less accomplished in few moments. Va
rious speculations are INDUCED as to its
cause. 1t is attributed to springs of wat
er operating on quicksand; to caves, and
and to subterraneous atmospheric pressure;
and affords opportunity for the COM
ments of the curious and speculative as
we'll as the scientific. W. W. A.

AN AMUSING MISTAKE.

The Hartford Times of August the i 9Th
gives the particulars of quite an anus
ing incident which occurred in one of the
Hartford churches last Sunday after
noon =" The Rev. Mr.. Parker, pastor of
the South Congregational Church being
absent, engaged with minister from the
rural districts, to supply his place
said clergyman never before having occu-
pied Mr. Parker's pulpit In walking
down Main street, when nearly opposite
the South Baptist Church, he inquired of
a passer by, if that was the South Church.
Being answered in the affirmative, he
walked gravely up the centre aisle, and
took his seat N the pulpit. Presently;

VERMONT TROOPS AT GETTYSBURG.

Maj. Gen. Doubleday arrived in town
on Thursday last, and is stopping at the
Equinox House. In conversation the Gen
eral speaks in the highest terms of the
Vermont troops--the I'd Brigade being
as will be remembered, under his com.
mand at Gettysburg. He thinks they
have never yet had full justice done them
for their acheivments on that day, and is
willing we should give his opinion ol
their services in repelling the enemy and
securing that important victory. He de.
scribes our lines in the second days fight
as similar in form to horseshoe, the cen.
tire being advanced towards Gettysburg,
upoh the high hill on which stands the
cemetery, and the aanks curved to the
rear and resting upon two large hills, the
whole occupying the SUBMITS of a long
range of hills of less height. Hancock's
Corps was formed upon the centre, aud
his own upon the left Of Hancock. The
remainder of his corps being badly cut
up in the first days engagement, Gen.
Doubleday was obliged to put the I'd Yer
mont Brigade in an exposed position, to
the front and d'wn the declivity, although
he was told they we're raw troops and had
never seen battle. In the afternoon
the rebels concentrated over hundred
guns upon that portion of tho line. Fail.

PATRIOTISM. soldier of the regular
army who had been in the service for
many years was discharged one day last
week, because of wound received in
battle, which incapacitated him from per-
forming the duties of a soldiers life
When discharged, three or four hundred
dollars were his due. and besides this
sum he had saved enough for total of
$500. This amount, which was all he
had in the world except enough to get to
his home, he deposited with an ageut for
twenty-five six cent. bonds The United
States government. he said, had paid him
eveay dollar of his money, and he would
trust it with the money, for if the gov
erpment should fail in the war, he would
not care to survive such calamity. Pat
riotism like this would keep the treasury
overaowing.--Msppvs Nsv'.

SKETCH OF A GUERILLA.
A correspondent of the New York Tim


A correspondent of the New York Times
writes thus amusingly:
Among the ragged and filthy prison,
ers at headquarters, is disguised young
gentleman of Lynchburgh, Richard H.
Florner, by name, who, six years ago, was
college cotemporary of Moseby, the So
called guerrilla chief, though three years
his junior, and who now belongs to the
Virginia Cavalry. He describes Mosty
as a man five feet inches in height,
slight built, twenty eight years of age,
very light hair, and light beard, exceed
ingly long, which hangs upon his breast.
His facial capillary powers having exhaust
cd themselves in this effort there remains
nothing upon his upper lip except the
finest down. In other words, Mosby has
laundering beard, but can't raise a
moustach His father is what is called a
Virginia planter, near Lynchburg, or, in
other words, a gentleman farmer, who, in
addition to raising crops of wheat and
corn, owns intelligent human beings from
black color to an imperceptible variety
of white, and sells them he does not need
each year to the Southern States, without
reference to the tears of husbands and
wives, never again to meet or the parting
agonies of mothers over cherished babes
The sou, christened John S. Moseby, grad
uated at the University of Virginia, in
Charlottesville, after stabbing a fellow
student in a drunken frolic, and causing
his death. For this he was tried and ac-
Quilted on the score of insensibiity. He
then studied for the bar, and on passing
examination, hired an Office, placed shin
Gle over his door, and varied existence in
the usual style of slave states youth, be-
tween bar-rooms and young ladies, chewing
tobacco to fill up the interstices of time.
His visits to the fair resulted in an early
marriage and two juvenile Mosebys.
Mother and children bloom on the pictur.
esque slopes of Lynchburg, yet unterrlfed
by Northern Vandals, and contemptuously
inaccessible to their approach. In the ear
Iy stages of the rebellion, Moseby Joined
Virginia cavalry regiment as lieutenant,
displayed considerable ingenuity in raids
while in charge of small squads, was pro
noted to a captaincy, and detailed to that
especial service. For this he is supplied
with all the men he needs He roams
about with detachment of about forty
men, and when a big thing offers, calls
for more. He then has sometimes three
or four hundred under his command His
men are thus always regularly enlisted
cavalry soldiers, and not the simple arm
ed citizens, as stated. This may be true
and may not. That there exists unen
listed armed citizens in this State is we'll
known, but they are asserted to belong tc
other bands than Mosebys Moseby ha'
been lately promoted to majority. Find
ing none among our prisoners who have
served with him, Can give no anecdot'
connected with his operations. ! reserve
them for the future. So much for Nose

THE STABBING AFFRAY IN GLOVER

of the 22d inst, By p. S. Webber upon
Horace Hancock, near the Pond Hotel, !"
(not the Union House, which state
ments as published are very imperfect and
liable to lead to wrong conclusions,
would say that after patient hearing of
the case, occupying most of three days,
as presented by j. P. Sartle, for the State,
and defended by J. L. Edwards the Re-
spondent was bound up for his appearance
at County Court, and as Mr.. Hancock has
already brought a suit to the County Court
for private damages it is and should be
contraband to publish the facts, either
pro or con, as both cases are likely to come
before jury of the county ere long; but
one thing is certain which may say, that
is, that P. S. Webbcr was tried last week
before Judge French, for selling liquor
and fined $ll0, and cost, amounting to
22 dollars more, which proves that all
vestiges of temperance and order have not
yet died out in Glover, and that it is un-

ON WINTER.

ON WINTER.
Winter is the coldest season in the
year, because it comes in the winner. In
some countries winter comes III summer,
and then it is very pleasant. wish win
ter came in the summer in this country.
Then | could 60 skating barefoot and slide
down hill in linen trowsers. We could
SNOWFALL without our fingers getting cold
and men who 60 out sleigh-ridlng
wouldn't have to stop at every tavern to
warm, as they do now. 1t SHOWS more in
winter than it does in any other season
Of the year. This is because so many
cutters and sleighs are made at that time.
Ice grows much better in winter than
in summer, which was an inconvenience
before the discovery of ice houses. Wa.
ter that is left out of doors is apt TO freeze
at this season. Some people take in their
wells and cisterns on cold night and
keep them by the fire, and they don't
freeze
Skating is great fun in the winter, The
boys get their skates on when the river is
frozen over, and race, play tag, break
through the ice and get wet all over,
they get drowned sometimes J fall and
break their heads, aud enjoy themselves
in many other ways. A wicked boy once
borrowed my skates and ran off with them,
and could not catch him. Mother said
judgment would overtake him one day.
Judgment will have to be pretty lively on
its legs if it does, for he runs bully.
There amt much sleigh-riding except
in the winter-folks don't seem to care
about it in warm weather. The grown up
boys and girls like to 60 sleigh.riding.
Tne boys generally drive with one hand,
and help the girls hold their muf with
the other. Brother Bob let me 60 little
way once when he took Celia Crane out
sleigh riding, and | thought he paid more
attention to holding the muff than he did
to holding the horse.
Snow-balling is another winter sport.
| have snow-balled in summer; but we
used stones and hard apples. 1t isn't so
amusing as it is in winter, somehow.

A wOMAN'S LOT.

WOMAN'S LOT.
/ sit in the shaded quiet
OF the summer afternoon
While the birbs and the wandering breeze
Are blending their plaintive tune.
There are mists on the golden meadow.
And clouds on the azure sky;
Like vison of angel garments
They glisten and pass me by.
While my fingers ply the needle,
My thoughts, upon soundless wings.
Fly over the broad creation.
AS Fancy her story sings.
For the love of the brave and absent,
l, too, would be glad and brave;
But tears come over my vision,
And fall on a soldiers grave.
All this is the lot of woman,
To dream, and to pray, and wait
She measures all human trial,
He knoweth the saddest fate !!
