did not have it to do on Monday, but
those who did not thus desecrate that day
lost nothing, as the succeeding days, both
last Monday and two weeks before we're

that all who thus exhibited a want Of con.

az Mansfield Mountain is quite as
popular as ever, as place of Summer re.
sort. One week ago about seventy or
eighty guests from the city we're stopping
there, and we presume there are more now.
We intended to have made q visit to the
Summit House ere this, SO that we could
have given our readers who have not had
the pleasure Of looking down on the world
from its lofty situation, some account of
the sights to be seen there, but have as
yet been unable to do so. We have no
doubt the pleasure of the trip much more
than pays the cost, and we intend at no
distant day to demonstrate the matter by
actual trial. s
Since writing the above we learn that
there we're about hundred at the Mans
field House on Tuesday, and that twenty
five or thirty more arrived on Tuesday
night. Stowe is pleasant place, and
this rush of visitors will result in adding
greatly to the prosperity of the place.

"Our correspondent sometimes asks for

money to carry ON the manufacture OF
garments in their towns and villages
Two plans have been adopted in many
places, with good success One, to have
contributions taken up in the churches.
weekly or at stated periods. This is
greatly approved, as it gives church goers
an opportunity to link good work with
their worship, whereby both may be rem
dcred more effectual and many, in this
way, can add their mites who would
shrink from more public method. The
other plan consists in interesting the boys
and girls of the town in forming a club,
whose duty it shall be to solicit and COL
lect monthly subscriptions.
Five cents a month are often given
by those whose ability is thus limited
and these smaller amounts, with the larg-
err ones that ADLER people may bestow, be-
ing regular monthly receipt, keeps the
soldiers purse steadily supplied, and en-
ables those who manage the treasury to
use an amount Of forethought in expendi-
ture, that is very desirable in these times
