TALL RyE.-Some of our Massachu-
sets brethren are Dragging over their
tall rye as though ait can't be beat"
Now they can't begin with us on tall
rye or tall men; these are among the
specialities of New Hamphire. For ex-
ample, as to the former, we have in our
Office spire of rye plucked on the farm
of Cyrus 7. Lane, Esq, of Gambia, June
8, measuring ninety-four inches in
height, eight feet wanting two inches!
We have another specimen from Mr..
Lane, consisting Of sixteen spires from
a single kernel, the sixteen averaging
seven feet in height. To conclude with,
we have one field Of rye upon the Mer-
rimac, containing 800 acres, seven and
looking well p All, don't brag of rye
or rye fields down there in the "Bay
State. Manchester ". III. J Guardian.
Did ever anybody hear of tall schsat in

b=g-The Commonwealth newspaper
thinks the process of confscation is too
slow, hnd says what we want is such
a law as the purest patriots of Rome
once asked and died for; such law as
would have saved that republic from
perdition, if it could have been had in
season; such law as aristocrats in all
centuries have expended all the elo-
quencc that money would buy, to render
odious in short, an agrarian law. Such
a law, made immediate by the supreme
will of regenerated and disenthralled
nation, is the logical sequence of the
fall of slavery We suppose the Com
monwealth would be impartial and en-
force this law in every State. With Mr..
Phillips's Reputation scheme, and an

small takers being unwilling to pay
their money unless they receive their
notes right in hand, to carry them home.
1t is expected that after this week the
daily subscriptions to the seven.Thirties
will run up into millions, as they will
undoubtedly be stimulated by the open
ing of the farmers wool markets East
and West. 1t is not at all likely that
the Government will ever again Offer so
desirable a security as these notes, ana
about two hundred millions only remain
to be taken.
With the close of the war the national
expenses will be vastly reduced, and in
vesters must look for q sharp reduction
IN the rates of interest as soon as the
present loans become due, and can be
paid off. There is no reason why the
United States credit for money should
ever again fall below its credit for cO'T.

geographical integrity of the country will

INFERNEL MACHNEs.-On the 3Oth
ultimo two torpedoes were discovered
in the Custom House at Mobile, in q
room which had not been used for some
time. One was fastened to the door, SO
that on opening it the chance existed
that it would explode. This result was
happily averted by the cautious suspic-
ion Of the person who first attempted to
enter the room. In the same room un-
der some loose papers in a desk, with
strings leading among the papers so that
an explosion would be produced by any
one attempting to remove the rubbish,
another torpedo was found. This one
was also got rid of without doing any
damage. The explosion of the torpedo
attached to the door would have torn
the upper part of the Court House to
pieces, and great loss of life must have
necessarily ensued.

RUTLAND MISSIONARY ASSOCIATE


The annual meeting of the Rut-
land Missionary Association was held
at the Congregational Chapel, on
Thursday afternoon June Sth. 1t was
opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr..
Campbell. The reports of the Secretary
and Treasurer, were made, from which
it appears that the number of tracts
distributed monthly, has been 1874; that
the Bible has been read to those who
have not been able to read it themselves
and that the tract distributors have
established a monthly meeting for the
purpose of hearing reports from each
other and for free conversation.
The Mission School opened the first
Saturday in December and closed the
last Saturday in April. The total num-
Der of scholars has been77. The expen-
ses of the school have been s24.20, which
sum has been spent for fuel, shoes, ma
terials for the girls to sew, thread, &c.
The thanks OF the Society are due to
the Nickwacket Company for the free
of use their Hall, and also to Messrs Burt,
Hannum & Edison for their liberality in
dealing with them.
The regular attendance and improve
ment in the scholars has been crafty
ing. Thirty-two of the children have
attended the different Sabbath Schools,
and it is the practice of the teachers to
enquire of their scholars if they attend
| Sabbath School, and to gather them in
when practicable.
The services of Mr.. L'Heureux, a
French Protestant Minister Of Brandon,
have been secured several times the past
winter to preach to the French popula-
ton Of our place.
The total receipts Of the Society, the
past year, have been $5805, the total
expenses $54.25.
After the reading Of the reports, q
most interesting address was delivered
by the Rev. Mr.. Campbell, followed by
appropriate remarks by Mr.. Burnett ant
| Mr.. Daniels.
All three gentlemen spoke in man
ner calculated to encourge those whC
have been laboring in the cause of be
nevolence the past year, but it is sub
ject OF deep regret that so few were
assembled to hear them. 1t is extreme
ly mortifying to the officers of the Sc
cety, that its members, take so little IN
terest in the object for which they hay
contributed of their substance an
this apathy is the more inexcusab
when we consider that the intention
this Society as declared by its Constit
ton is to carry the gospel to the heal
l | and homes of the inhabitants of Il
village. It seems as though two ho'
e once in a year, would not be too mt
to devote to the encouragement of tn
who have been laboring, unceasine
throughout the whole year. -

EMGRANTs.-A long train filled with
emigrants from the could country"
passed through our village yesterday
from Canada, on their way to New York.
We understand they landed first at
Quebec, and thence by way of the Grand
Trunk and other railroads they rendez-
vous at New York preparatory to going
West or to any point where necessity on
inclination may send them. They were
on the whole very good-looking set.

NOTES OF THIRD SERIES OF 7-30s NOW
REApY.-The demand of the Second
Series of the 7-30 Notes was so great
that the Treasury Department was un-
able to print them with sufficient rapid
ity to fill the orders. 1t will be remem-
bered that hundred millions were sub
scribed and paid for in single week.
The printing presses have finally sur,
mounted the difficulty, and on Wednes-
day, June 7th, the deliveries of the Third
Series commenced, and will be contin-
tinued with the same promptness that
marked the supply of the notes of the
first and second series. 1t has been this
interruption of delivery at the time OF

THE CREvAssE IN THE MISSISSIPPI
The crevasse through which the waters
of the Mississippi are pouring upon the
country below Algiers, La, is about
three hundred feet wide. If not quickly
closed it was feared that all the cane
planted in Louisiana would be irretrieve-
ably ruined The waters broke through
about suudown. A rumbling crash, q
hurried roar, the swash of water against
the house told the alarmed inhabitants
that their enemy was upon them.
