by some wise and patriotic men in the
State of New York, that that State be
requested to cede the Erie canal to the
United States, on receiving from the
General Government the amount of the
outstanding debt created by its construc-
ton; the canal to be free forever to the
use of all the States, and TO be enlarged
in its locks at the expense of the General
Government so as to pass six-hundred-
ton merchant steamers, which would go
from Buffalo to New York in six days
instead of fourteen, as at present, and
to let gunboats in time of war securely
pass from the ocean to the lakes.

of his three years service, was convinced
of his wifes infdelity to her marriage

ceived her confession, duplicating Mr.,
A. A. Higgins of West Milan. Lang
vowed vengeance upon him and left the
house His wife, sending off the child

conflicting emotions, descended to the
cellar aud hung herself with a skein of
yarn. In this condition she was found
on the arrival Of her husband, who then

gtns) to be the cause of this death and
aiiilction, he threatened to take his life,
and aimed his musket for that purpose
1t was unloaded, butas Lang commenced
loading Higgins broke from the house
and immediately started for Canada.
This terrible affair of course creates
profound excitementin the village where
1t occurred. The deceased left two little
girls. Mr.. Higgins has also wife and
family, and has generally been regarded
as an upright and somewhat prominent
man in his locality. Lang has always
been brave soldier, and, we understand.

LAND, VT, THURSDAY MORNING. FEBRUARY 16, 1865

A SPEoTAoLR-The writer OF Watch
notes in the Boston Christian Watch
man fairly rhapsodizes over the "Great
Meeting at the Music Hall" Witness
the following
II was wonderful spectacle witness
ed at the Music Hall on Saturday eve
ping; that vast audience room crowded
from the ceiling TO the floor by persons
who paid quarter of dollar admis.
sion to a meeting gotten up on short no
tice, 1t was the outgush of joyous en-
thusiasm, the beat of the popular heart,
the cry of victory from the lips o. q
people keeping step with the march of
the century.
!.a... the ui'S'eoU''SEirriHs appeal Of that
| meeung was one not marked in the pro-
grGmme 1t was the song Of the black
man who was introduced by Hon, Jo-
siah Quincy, apparently on the spur of
the occasion. He put his heart into his
song; that song so appropriate so sa-
cred; the old strain waited down again
from the age Of Moses and Miriam, and
from the shores that rang with the mu-
sic Of the emancipated hosts
Sound the loud timbrel DER Egypts dark sea"
Mr.. Rocks voice was clear and strong
expressive, too, of tenderness and pa
thos he was listened to In breathless
silence until the chorus of the third
verse brought the whole assembly into
vocal harmony. The great organ has
never sounded forth any mighty peal
that reached farther than that to the
deep springs of feeling in human nature,
1t was memorable hour. Let the
distant reader just imagine vast plat
form crowded with men of all creeds,
parties and compilations let him think
of Mr. Quincy, DR.. Kirk, Mr.. Manning,
of the old South, William Lloyd Garri-
son and Gen. Butler, sitting together as
Grothers of one heart and soul, children
Of one mother, the country of their COM
mon love, bound together by their de-
vOtion to one great aim, the cause of hu-
manity and universal freedom. This
combination of representative men pre-
sented to every thoughtful mind scene
worth studying as significant of new
and wonderful future. Who that gaZed
upon it was not impressed with the
thought that we had reached the out
most limits of the old political past
had all crossed the farthest edge of the
boundary line, and had emerged from
its murky haze into the effnlgence of
new era? That line, to our view, was
as clearly marked as the water line of
that old Red Sea where Miriam saw
Pharaoh and his hosts, his chariots,
horses and riders, buried in the watery
sepulchre. The Egyptian past is dead
and gone. The line can never be re-
crossed. The rod OF God will never
open the waves again to let Israel back
dry shod, Tine wilderness, with its
burning wastes and fiery serpents, may
be before u.s. but the promised land Is
before US also. Then welcome the con-
f1ict that awaits MS. They are appointed
for our education TO qualify US for the
inheritance of rest, peace and plenty,
that we may learn to use wealth and
power in kindly Christian ministries to
all the kiudreds and tribes Of men

victims OF railroad accident about the
middle of January, at Wellington, Ohio,

OF care In packing. The consequence of
such foolish jumbling of discordant
materials was that we came out of tha
heap with divers and sundry bruises,
cuts and gashes, not pleasant to behold
nor comfortable TO carry. Some twenty
OF the passengers were more or less Sc
riously injured. The Others were able
to go on. y = It is thought now
that not more than one OF the wounded

Mr Miller was injured quite seriously

rot be moved from his bed. At the
date OF his letter he was in hopes tobc
able to proceed on his journey the next
week. but seemed to have some faars
whether he should ever fully recover.

the head, body and limbs, but was not
disabled. Mr.. Hewitt received severe

SMUeGLNG.-A queer case of SNUG
CLING has just been brought to light on
the Canadian border The smuggler
built his house Immediately III the
boundary line, with an entrance from
the north and and another from the
south. He can thus bring British or
American goods into his house without
paying duties to either government, and
can, without detection, easily pass them
over TO the other side. The fellow has
by this Illicit trade grown rich, while
our government has, of course, been the
principal loser, as the import on dutia-
Bile goods greatly exceeds the export.
There is no law that provides for tho
remedy of this thing. .0,

WEATHER FoRECAsrs.-The electric
telegraph is likely to render US hence
forth service which It has not until
now been known to be capable of. For
some time past it has been systematic
ally employed, in this country at least,
to transmit to one center meteorological
observations made at a great number of
widely scattered points, and TO transmit
from that centre predictions founded on
these observations but Father Secchi,
the famous Italian srraat, now informs
us that a line Of telegraph wires itself
constitutes better indicator Of certain
kinds of meteorological changes than
any other we as yet know Of. All per-
sons at all familiar with electric tele.
graphy are aware that currents other
than those proceeding from the batteries
employed are almost constantly passing
along all lines Of telegraph wires. They
are derived from eithet the earth or the
atmosphere, and are called "earth cur
rents" They are subject to great varia-
tious, which Father Secchi and some Of
his friends have for some time past been
carefully studying, with the result,
among Others, of finding thas whenever
the earth currents are more irregular
than ordinary, bad weather follows, the
degree OF the irregalarity of the earth
currents bearing always an exact rela-
tiOn to that of the sbCrminess Of the
weather which they rrecede.

The greed or s s..in ne'er tempted him
To gamble in the sE32Gcksi
He always kept for bulls and Usars
"A pocket full OF rocks !"
And when, at last, the loafer dies,

No heirs with smiling hearts look sad ;
None seek to bear his pail.
