LOVE TO GEN. McCLELLAN.-A very
significant incident occurred the other day,
on the occasion of the grand review by
the President and the "heir apparent"
Seventy-fve thousand troops were in line,
and under the direction Of their respective
Generals, had cheered for the President,
for Mrs. Lincoln, for Little Lincoln, for
Joe Hooker, for Halleck, and for every
body else, when private in the ranks,
possessed of stentorian voice, shouted
out, "Now, boys, three cheers for our
Little Mac" The three were not given,
but there went up ono loud, long, contin-
uous shout throughout the line, that fair
ly shook the ground, and certainly must
have created an alarm on the opposite
side of the river. 1t was the most en-
thusiastic cheer | remember ever TO have
heard. 1t ran along the line, swelling
and falling like tho rolling thunder, gath
ering volume where the name of McClel-
Ian could be distinguished, and diminish
ing in power only where its purport was
not clearly understood. 1t was the spon-
taneous outburst of honest hearts, and
must have been terrible, withering re-
buke to the President for his treatment
of this army. 1t was tho soldiers an
swer to the libel that they had ceased to
love Mcclellan.

The Importance of One Mile.

By constructing canal about three
fourths Of mile in length, from Big
Stone Lake to Lake Traver, steamboats,
from st. Paul could navigate both the
Minnesota River and the Red River of
the North to Lake Winnipeg, a distance
Of seven hundred miles The country
traversed by these rivers is surprisingly
fertile, and capable of sustaining dense
population. Lake Winnipeg is larger
than Lake Ontario, and receives the Sas-
katchawan River from the west. The
Saskatchewan River is navigablo to a
point Edmonton House) near the Rocky
Mountains, seven hundred miles west of
Lake Winnipeg, and only about one hun
dred and fifty miles east of the gold re.
gions, on Frazier River, in British Colum-
bia.
BY constructing this canal, of about
one mile in length, would enable steam
boat from New Orleans, to pass into Lake
Winnipeg, and from thence to Edmonton
House, some five thousand miles A
bill has been introduced into the Senate,
which makes provision for the building
of the canal -'
Probably in the world there cannot be
found spot, which by digging so short
canal, would affect a result so prodi-
gious. And what is also equally remark
able, the ground between the two lakes
is SO low and level, it is frequently sub
merged in times of freshets from one to
the other.-,Selccted

SHoDDY.-It is related that one day
last week large, red-faced woman, with
a porter's load Of expensive 6nory upon
her person, entered the largest jewelry
store in New York, and inquiring for dia-
monds, magnificent assortment of rings,
brooches, earrings, necklaces, DC, were
spread before her. From these she So
lected three thousand five hundred dol
lars worth, which she requested might be
sent TO her house with tho bill. The
clerk would find her husband at home,
she said, and he would pay for them.-
A pen and q card were handed to her,
and she was requested to write her address.
She hesitated, her broad face turned from
red to crimson, and finally, in great con-
fusion, she made her mark IA big cross)
on the card, and tossing it to the sales
man, said: "Thar; l haint time to write,
but l guess he'll know that" The illite-
ate queen of diamonds was q contract
or's wife.

The CURRANT WoRM.-It does not
seem possible to exterminate this pest,
but it may be kept in check. Delugo tho
bushes with diluted whale oil soap, APP
piled through garden syringe having an
upturned nose. Mind to give, them a
good soaking underneath, as well as over
head. If any one has not the soap at
command, let him burn tobacco or sui
phur, in an old pan, setting the dish un-
der each bush for several minutes. Let
it consume slowly, to make as much
smoke as possible. Or this: Make
smudge of old scraps of leather, and let
it lie under each bush until tho entire
foliage is filled with cloud of smoke.
This will be moro efIicacious if little
powdered sulphur is thrown in. BE caro-
full not to scorch the leaves.-Agric,ltu-

act very disastrously upon merchandise

ded away in the last few days. Cotton
goods are pressed for sale at rs per cent
decline, without buyers. Tea is off ten
cents per pound, and to make sales still
larger decline must be submitted to. 9th
er groceries are equally effected. Cotton
could not be sold on Thursday to any ex-
tent above 80 cents. Flour is again 10
TO 25 cents per barrel and wheat and corn
2 to cents per bushcl lower. Provisions
are also lower. Indeed, all produce and
merchandise markets are at a stand, wait
ing the turn of gold. An auction sale Of

day, but was failure. There are no buy
ers for anything, excepting in retail
way, at anything like what holders expect

20 PEOPLE OF LAMoILLE COUNTY.

roTHE PEOPLE OF LAMOILLE COUNTY.
II seems, that, some how or other, you
have elected me to be your county COM
missioner for the coming year. l sought
not the office, nor do | think that any
man will seek it for its profits or its hon.
ors if he intends to execute its duties
honestly, and "without fear or favor of
any man." To give satisfaction to all,
is not in the power of any one. But as
am elected as friend of the Liquor
Law, will endeavor to do what | can, to
carry out the principles Of that law. l
would call on all friends of law and order,
to assist me in doing it. And | trust
that shall have the cooperation of every
good citizen. 1t is known to all, who
know anything about it, that it belongs
to the people, and not to the commission
er to shut up rum-holes. Will the peo-
pie see to that 2 1t is high time, l say
this in view of the fact, that one of ma
lures noblemen, with whom | was well
Acquainted, and whom l highly priced as
a friend, was carried to the tomb few
days since, in the county, as is generally
supposed, by the use of strong drink.
And such cases are not rare-l am OF the
opinion that the use of strong drink, more
than doubles the expense of our present
war; to say nothing of the extra loss of
life and character.
In order that the different towns may
have suitable agents for the coming year,
to sell their liquor, [ would recommend,
that the people get together with the town
authorities, and deliberate candidly and
cordially, and fix upon some one for their
agent, in their respective towns, previous
to the last week in this month, so that |
may not be unnecessarily detained when
1 60 out to give licenses of which ! will
give notice beforehand. I will here ven
ture to throw out some hints in regard to
making selections. AS far as my observa-
ton goes, everything else being equal,
man somewhat advanced in life, with prin-
ciples all fixed, of course, will make bet
ter agent than young man because he
is better fortified to resist the temptation
to which he will be exposed. And, again,
as general thing, an agent will do better
the first year than he will the second, or
after. Some how or other the selling of
liquor grows upon man, like the drink
ing of it, unawares. AS to the place of
keeping it, l would choose it where there
was no back way to approach it. The
thing that cannot, without shame, Or dis
grace, be had in an open innocent way,
ought not to be had any way.
l would also disapprove the selling to
go to other towns, except, in such cases,
as where people 60 there to do their legit-
innate business. Neither would | approve
of selling to those who may be travelling
through the county, or to carry out of the
county. would have every agent keep an
account of his Sales and to whom sold,
and residence | have thrown out these
hints, that the people may see where | am.
The rest will set in order when come.
may then be able to give some informa-
ton in regard to obtaining pure liquors.
No other is wanted. G. WHITING.
