ANTS AND CATERPILLARs.-An obsery-
ing correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican furnishes the following:
The warfare of the ants deserves a
note. It is another battle Of North and
South thrift leaving its work to drive
out lazy proprietorship that is lattening
on the ruin of the land. l sat in the
summer house yesterday and watched
them-ants pursuing the caterpillars in
every direction, and they making off at
ludicrous speed each with three or four
large black ants after him. Then would
come a funeral procession-fve ants
dragged hardly dead canker-worm to
to their nest over and over, tumble
and roll, he went to the fate OF sinners
then would gallop in sight two, three,
four caterpillars, like loaded ambulances
each having its platoon of ants in chase
The ants goad their victims by darling
at their sides with angry teeth till the
poor things vince, and ones nerves
culver in sympathy"

DESIGNS or THR REBELS IN CANADA
There are various reports of a large
gathering of rebels and rebel sympathiz-
ers in Canada. At Toronto there are ru-
mors that they. are making preparations
for an expedition upon our frontier, In
which they will be assisted by many Of
the natives of Toronto. The objective
point of the expedition is not known,
but it has been limited that Buffalo might
be attacked and burned, and that Roch-
ester might also be made to suffer. The
Buffalo pspers have been calling upon
the citizens to make preparations for de-
fence in the event of trouble. One. Of
the projects now in contemplation is
the release of the rebel prisoners at
Johnsons Island.

The CANADIANS FBAR AN INVASION BY
THE YANKREs.-The Toronto (Canadal
Ledger of the 18th Of July, expresses it's
fears that the recent order Of the British
government, directing the concentration
of the English regular troops in the
cities of Montreal and Quebec win be
taken as an acknowledgment of the in
ability of the mother country, or its I'M
Willingness, to defend the colony in the
event Of an American invasion of its soil.
The Leader, indeed, leaves it to be in
ferred that the regulars are to be locked
up in the cities in order to save them
from defeat or capture, while the writer
confesses very freely that the local milf
tia cannot guard or cover the frontier.
The Canadians are, in fact, scared" at
the idea of war with the Yankees"

by one of the members of the One Hun

Class Hymn.



Stand we here together,
Glorious summer weather,
IA the sunshine floats and falls, H
Golden water on the wallis
Never more forever,
stand we hrr ogether,
Shake we no unwilling hands,
Break VIZ now these silver bsndSi
Nine ofus together, t#
Now the links must sever,
Standing on the og,er rim
Girlhood's glory growing dim.
Going forth - weepers,
Bearing sad for reapers,
So that in the harvest time,
When they ring their angel chime,
The sweet henediotion,
Ofdivine affection,
"Bear the cross and wear the crow,
At the wedding feast lit down.s
We shall oleave together,
Nine of us forever,
In the kingdom OF the blest,
Where the weary are at rest.
Pray we now together,
Pray we ninc forever,
That Gods favor ever blest,
May on Alma Mater rest
That we may together,
In the glorious ever,
Cast our crowns before his face,
Who hath helped US win the race
Nine of us together,
May we stanl forever,
when eternal sunshine falls,
On the radiant jasp'r walls.

The PROPOSED RECRUITING SoUTH,-ln
view of the fact that General Grant has
found very few negroes in his recent
movements, and that Gen. sherman re-
ports but few able-bodied negro men in
the country occupied by him, as well as
from Information by other sources, it is
believed that operations under the order
allowing recruiting in the rebel States,
will not yield men in any great num-
beers.

REPRESENTATIVE RECRUITs,-It will
be seen by Provost Marshal Days cir
cular in our advertising columns that
the board of recruitment are now pre-
pared 10 furnish representative recruits
for those who are not liable to be draf-
ted, and that they will do so on the pay
ment of Sl25 to the state treasurer. We
hope that very many of those who are
exempt win improve this opportunity to
be represented in the Amy. IL will cost
them comparatively a trite, and their
placing q man in the ranks and having
him credited to the town or ward in
which they reside may save some wor-
thy neighbor and friend of less means
from being drafted. Another argument
in favor of acting in this matter through
the board of recruitment is that the
money thus paid will go to the man
who represents them and not into the
pockets of the substitute brokers.-Bos-

We were, unfortunately, too tardy

said on both sides, still we must con-
& fess ourselves unconvinced-our sympa-
8thies are on Mrs, Stoves side Of the ar
gument
Misses Sherman and Mcconnell had
subjects Of present interest, and touched
many responsive chord among their
listeners, attested by bowed heads and
dimmed eyes.
Miss MouIton held a microscope for
j Us to look through at various torments
in the insect world-we were glad she
could magnify without bringing nearer.

quite perfect till Latin is introduced a.

The valedictory was followed by th'
reading Of the class hymn, which W.

ty of 500 for a recruit for one year, 5000
for two years, and $500 for three years.
Local bounties will also be offered in

such as to make volunteering pretty
lively. The representative recruits
count on the quotas, and there should

ing all these things into account, and
the recruiting in the rebel states, the
prospect of getting men enough before
September is very fair, if earnest effort
is made.

their prices single copies 4 cents, by

its reduced club rates on weekly and

case less than 81 year. In no other
way can these papers get back even the
cost of the white paper on which they
print at present prices, Similar adj
vances will have to be made by the Bos-
