EXTRAORDINARY FoRTGTUDE OF A CHILD
"A LITTLE Boy Cuts OFF HIS ARM TO
KEEP Our OF ScHooL.-Last Monday
morning George Smith, boy only sew
en- years old, residing at Pleasantville,
thirty miles from the city, told his pa
rents, if they insisted upon sending him
to school, that he would throw himself
on the Harlem Railroad track, which
was near his fathers land and receive
such injuries as would compel them to
keep him at home. They thought moth
ing Of the threat, and having ordered
him to school forthwith, supposed he
had gone until they learned he had exc
cuted his menace. When the 10 O'Clock
up mail train passed the village, George
laid his left arm upon the track, and the
cars passed over it severing nearly the
whole of his hand from the limb. The
engineer perceiving him then for the
first time, stopped the train, when the
boy ran Off and was found with his
shattoroa and bleeding arm behind his
back sitting on fence whistling cyan
kee Doodle" and pretending nothing
had happened. Before he could be taken
home George tainted from pain and loss
of blood but when restored and a sur
geon was summoned he refused most
obstinately to take any anasthetic agent,
but told the medical gentleman to cut
away. The scalpel was used on the
mangled lin, but the little fellow never
whimpered or complained. Not nerve
trembled during the operation, which
must have been very painful indeed
the boy did not speak until it was over,
when he remarked with great satisfac-
ton and an air Of triumph "Well l
am glad l did it; l can't be sent to
school for awhile any how" The child
acted with wonderful GOODNESS, saying
| he first put his right arm on the track,
| but rejecting that when he grew up he
| would not be able to write well with
! the loss OF that limb, he substituted his
| left. His parents are much distressed
at the occurrence, and apprehend if he
is sent to school again, that he will de-
stroy himself. The boys conduct is al
most inexplicable, and his fortitude and
determination extraordinary for one OF
his tender years. We have known a
great many little people who dislike the
routine and confinement Of school, but
we never before heard of one who pre-
ferred to part with his arm rather than
submit to their disagreeableness, how
ever great.-NetC York Tribune.
Depend upon it, if the above account
is true, there is some cause for the act
either in the school, or the teacher, OF
both and that the cause is one thai
ought to be removed.

"THR GLORIOUS FoURrH"-We are
glad to hear that Gov. Fenton will
probably issue PROCLAMATION for the
celebration of the coming Fourth OF
July throughout the Empire State on a
grand scale, in honor of the extinction
of the rebellion, the great triumph of
the Union cause, the end of the war, the
return of peace, the abolition of slave
ry, the victory of freedom, and in honor
too of Abraham Liacoln and all the
patriots and heroes, the dead and the
living, to whose labors, sacrifices and
suferings the Union is indebted for It's
existence to-day as the most powerful
nation on the face of the globe. We
think, however, that proclamation of
President johnson recommending, on
the basis of peace and fraternity, spe-
cial observance throughout the country
of the approaching national anniversa-
ry, would make it a most memorable ma
tional jubilee, and that it would have a
good effect, too, in behalf of his great
work of Southern reconstruction.- ~

The OLD BRIGADE, - From an inter-
esting account in the Burlington Times
of the reception Of the Vermont Brigade,
we condense the following
The main entrance to the City Hall
was filled with spectators while the bal
cony was gay with ladies who greeted
the bronzed veterans with waving of
handkerchiefs and casting of bouquets.
The detachment filed into the City Hall,
where they were feasted with a substan-
tial supper, On entering, the 'bowld
soger boys were completely overpower-
ed by shower of almost half hun
dred bouquets, flung by the fair hosts
who occupied the galleries. The boys
were at first disconnected by the floral
attack, but soon recovered their wonted
GOODNESS, and made well directed ad-
vance on the provisions which the lady
walters were busy in distributing.

tg'The Woodstock Sabbath School
Convention met with the Baptist Church
in Cavendish on the 2lst inst, and or
ganized' by choosing Rev. Q. G. Gurr
Moderator and Rev. ]. S. Goodall Clerk.
The weather was very fine, the Sabbath
Schools of the Association were very
well represented, the meeting was inter-
esting, and we hope it will prove profit
able. The Sabbath School at Cavendish
sung several pieces as finely as the pie
ces themselves are beautiful. Besides
the general business there were essays
read on interesting and practical SUBJ
jects. Rev. A. Nj. Swain presented an
essay on the "The Sabbath School
Teacher considered as a Missionary"
Rev. T. B. Eastman on "The Best Meth
cd of Conducting the Sabbath School
Concert" and Rev. J. s. Goodall on
'The Best Method of Imparting Sab
bath School Instruction"
The following are some Of the resolu-
tions that were passed:
htSUOCCu, ha0 IL 10 thV uuey VA ehS
adult portions of our congregations to
attend the Sabbath Schools as far as
practicable.
Resolpea, That as the nursery Of the
church, and as it's most efficient auxil-
iary, the Sabbath School has right to
claim the use of one-half day in each
month for it's concert.
ResolUsd, That as intemperance is pow
erfully and persstently aggressive, and
its demoralizing effects are too plainly
visible on every hand it is the solemn
and imperative duty Of all Sabbath
Schools to awake to new and positive
efforts to resist, conquer and execute
the demon, more malignant and more
| dangerous than the great rebel in the
height of his power. ....a....- ....
Resolved, That it is with emotions of
peculiar JOY and gratitude to God that
we can number as a friend of the Sab
bath School, the greatest man of our
times, the martyr OF the age, our beloved
and lamented Abraham Lincoln.

AN ENGLISH CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.
There is prescription in use in Eng
land for the cure of drunkenness, by
which thousands are said to have been
assisted in recovering themselves. The
receipt came into notoriety through the
efforts of John Vine Hall, commander of
the Great Eastern steamship. He had
fallen into such habitual drunkenness,
that to reclaim himself proved unavail-
ing. At length he sought the advice of
an eminent physician, who gave him
presentation which he followed faithful
ly for seven months, and at the end of
that time had lost all desire for liquor al
though he had been for many years led
captive by most debasing appetite.
The receipt is as follows: Sulphate of iron
five grains; magnesia, ten grains; pep
permint water, eleven drachms, spirit
of nutmeg, one drachm; twice day.
This preparation acts as a tonic and
stimulant, and so partially supplies the
the place of the accustomed liquor, and
prevents that absolute physical and
moral prostratiOp that follows sud
den breaking off from the use of stimu-
lating drink.-Scientifc american.
We suggest the following additional
ingredients: Diligence, Caution, Self
Control, and Moral Principle, in equal
proportions Maine Law, ten Sections !;
Higher Law, the more the better.

CoERoNG THE CoLoNIsTs.-There is
news from England, and also from the
Provinces, that the British Government
have determined to use influence of q
Iesistless kind to bring the maritime
colonies into the Federation scheme.
Those of them that refuse to become
partners in that political compact are
to be henceforth denied the benefits of
the protection they now get from the
parent State. These refractory Prov
inCes might do without the benefit of
the protection, but they would find it hard
to do without the expenditure of Brit
ish gold, which accrues to them from
the quartering of sundry garrisons
within their borders. There is where
the Imperial shoe begins to pinch them.
Aud there is how they will begin to dis
cover and appreciate the advantages of
the intercolonial union. All this, mean
while, looks as if the colonists were be-
ing invited to cut loose from the parent
State altogether, and seek an independ-
ent political existence, as soon as they
| fad il cons Saient.

THURSDAY MORNING. JUNE 20, 1865

The FIRST AND mE LAST GUN OF THE
RRBELLIoN,-lt appears that the first
and the last gun o. the rebellion were
fired by the same man-that old and
unfortunate fanatic on Southern State
rights, Edmund Rufin, of Virginia.
The first gun for his fancied millennium
of a Southern confderacy was fired by
him at Fort Sumte' in April, 1851 the
last was fired by the same hand, through
his own head, in June, 1866. His name
will thus go down o future generations
as striking Illustration of that insane
enthusiasm with which the leaders of
the late rebellion plnnged into it, and of
the terrible remorsewith which the liv-
ing among them at The end of the strug-
ole came out of IL.

The SOUTHERN CRoPs.-The wheat
crop of Central Georgia is fast coming
in. 1t is abundant and excellent in
quality. They will have new flour in
two weeks.
In Alabama the wheat crop is ripe
and excellent. Such large crop of
corn was never known before. Fruits,
likewise, all through Georgia, especially
the famous Indian peach, are abundant
and forward. With the cessation of the
war, therefore, the people have gone to
work in earnest, and the God of Peace
has given them an abundant harvest.
OF cotton, very little is to be seen.

REV. DR.. FULLER AT CHARLRsToY-Dr.

Rutledge who was the foremost man in

ment rations, give an idea of the mis-
cries inflicted by the war which imagin-
alton can scarcely eXaggerate.
DR.. Fuller, before reaching Beaufort,
where he formerly had plantation and
slaves, expressed a great desire to see
his = suffering and perhaps starving

There are more eastern troops sta

them home as fast as possible, which If
not done quite soon, will be liable to
raise the price OF alcohol in the market.

How TO Grow CABBAoEs.-N. T. T.
in the New England Farmer says;
"When transplant, which l am like
ly to do on a summer day as on any
other, round the plant and immediate
ly lay over it leaf of burdock, rhu-
barb, or grape, and let it wilt down over
the leaf and remain there two or three
days. I then remove them, hoe them,
and place a platform of newspaper
around the plant which may be rapidly
done by tearing up pieces eight inches
square, tearing a slit in one side of the
center and placing little earth on the
edges. This will keep off the cat
worms. If a plant turns to a lead
color pull it up and supply its place
with another, In this way never fail
of cabbages, if don't let the COWS get
in and eat them up.

Emperor Napoleon is eager to maintain
" cordial relations" with the United
States. He has q chance to show his
earnestness, then. The other day, Kir-
by Smith surrendered his army, with

sequently, Jack Magruder, one Of his
Lieutenants, sold several thousand mus
kets and several parks of artillery, to
one Mejia, an Imperialist General. AS
these arms had been legally transferred
