wisest and wealthiest of monarchs, with

ADVICE RESPECTING TIE EYrsreHT-
Too strong light in sleeping room

site the window; for to wake suddenly
out of sleep, with q strong glaring

cupied in partially dressing will be
quite sufficient to prepare the organs
for meeting a stronger body of light.
This is especially to be remembered in
summer time, where the chamber has
an eastern aspect. Whatever work
you be engaged in, let the light fall on
it, and always keep yourself in the
shade. Place your back, then, to the
window, if reading by dayhght-when
the light will of course fall upon the
object. When writing get a side-hgth
if possible; but if you have front
light as under a window, shade it a
little, bringing only its rays upon the
paper, or let the top of the head form
the shade. In the same way, with a
candle or lamp, throw the light upon
the paper, and do not let tile glare OF
the light go direct to your eyes. If the
light be above you, as from chande-
Her, so much the better. If in the
habit of using the telescope, try, if
possible. to keep both eyes open; for
10y shifting the opposite one to that
used by the glass, the sight is strained,

The investigation Of the case Of the St.
Adams raiders was reopened at Montreal
on Tuesday before Justice Coursal. The
court room was tolerably filled with spec
tators and appearance Of the prisoners was
generally unchanged Mr.. Kerr, counsel
for the prisoners, objected that the court
had nojurisdiction in the case, and denied
his honor's right to sit there at all in this
investigation, Mr.. Delvin. counsel for the
United States, said that after having gran.
ted delay of a month they had met to
hear evidence for the defuse and not to
listen to legal argument. After few
words from the court and from Mr.. john
son, the queens counsel, Mr.. Kerr, was
allowed to 60 into the argument as to the
jurisdiction Of the court in the premises.
After some discussion by the counsel
on both sides, the court said that it was a

ed the Teachers Institute held at this
place on Friday and Saturday last The
audience at the lectures filled the church,
and all seemed as though they were being
greatly benefited by having attended.
We hope that Mr.. Adams will long live,
and be permitted to remain in the Board
of Education as secretary, for there il
probably no one in the state that feels SC
great an interest in the cause of education
as himself.
At the close of the session, the follow.
resolutions were passed:

expressing our gratitude TO the citizens OF HYDE

who have attended the present session of the

LAMoILLE COUNTY COURT.


On going to press last week the case OF
w F. Stone VS. the Town of Eden was on
trial. A great number of witnesses were
called and testified and especially for the
defendant in reference to the condition
of the "by-way" prepared by the select
men for travel in consequence of the i'm
perfection or loss of bridge upon the
main highway. and as to the fact whether
the horse died from an injury received
while passing through the alleged INSULT
cient by-way. it being driven by the
plf's son upon stage wagon carrying
passengers and the mail from Johnson to
Stanstead. The case was very ably ar

full and impartial charge by the court,
the case was submitted to the jury; after
due deliberation the jury came into court
and through their foreman reported mot

Importance of a verdict, as it was one of
those cases where the testimony would be
likely to accumulate and that they would
be as likely to do justice between the par
ties as any jury upon future trial. BY
order of the court they again retired aud

The following official dispatch from HIM
was received at the war department Oh
Sunday, dated Near midnight, on the gun
boat Dandelion, 0ssa 5aw Sound Dec Is. p"
"Gen. Hazeu's division of the 10th
corps carried fort McAllister by assault,
capturing its entire garrison and stores.
This opened the Ossabaw Sound, and |
pulled down to this gunboat to commun-
icate with thu feet. Before opening COM
munication we destroyed all the roads
leading into Savannah, and invested the
city. The left is on the Savannah river,
three miles above the city, and the right on
Ogeeche at Kingsbridge. The army is in
splendid order and equal to anything.
Our march was most agreeable, and was
not at all molested by guerIilas We
reached Savannah 3 days ago, but owing
to fort McAllister we could not commune
cate, but now we have McAllister and can
go ahead. We have already captured 2
boats in the Savannah river, and prevent
ed their gunboats from coming down. |
estimate the population of Savannah at
$4,000 and the garrison at $4,000. Har-
dee commands We have not lost wag-
on on the trip, but have gathered in a
large supply of negroes, mules, horses,
and our teams are in far better condition
than when we started. My first duty
will be to clear the army of surplus ne
groes, mules and horses We have de
stroyed 200 miles of rails and consumed
stores and provision essential to Hood $
and Lees armies. The quick work made
with McAllister and the opening of CON-
munication with our feet and consequent
independence for supplies, dissipate all
their boasted threats to head off and starve
the army. regard Savannah as already
gained. w. 7. SHERMAN, Maj. Gen.
Central Department.
Gen. Thomas is meeting with excellent
success in Tennessee The following from
the Springfield Republican tells this part
of the story:
The defeat of Hoods army in Tern.
is one Of the most complete and important
victories of the war. The success of
Thursday was followed by still more bril-
liant results on Friday. The enemy were
routed and driven at all points, losing 90
cannon. 5000 prisoners, many small arms
aud traius and other property. 1t lacked
little of an entire rout and stampede of
the enemy, and our troops are following
up with vigor and enthusiasm. Hood s
army may be considered as substantially
destroyed. If any part of it escapes it
cannot be brought into fighting condition
for some time to come. Breckenridge s
army is in an exposed situation in East
Tenn. with our armies on each side of
him, and no line of escape except by a
march across the mountains in n. c. or
Ora. Thomas now commands the situa-
ton, and there is nothing to prevent his
moving into GA. again and occupying
Sherman's former lines"
Grant holds Lees army in check,
and prevents him from sending reinforce
ments to any bcleagured rebel army.
