reception from number of its good
citizens, especially the hotel proprietor,
who tells an excellent trout story, and
who very kindly proffered bed and board
gratis, meaning of course, God speed
the enterprise, Presently We let her

bottle Of liniment; holding in his hand
bills of lading sufficient TO freight the
promised steamer, as he says, for ninety
years. Good for surveyor lack. Long

AS time is the watchword, we stretch
every thread to the breeze, failing to

it our notice, we make the port at Mid

populace Of the entire section bordering
the channel are inclined to support by
business aud pleasure the enterprise, and
without falling to notice the resource in
timber and other commodities for their
compliance, | leave the enterprise in
your hands, being sure you will give it
immediate attention and thus warrant
its success.

A PROPOSITION OF our readers
doubt our statements as To the shrink
age OF Merlno and other woods, Now
we make a proposition, The New Eng.
land Fair comes of at Concord the first
week of September next, Now If the
breeders of Merinos, South Downs,
Leicesters and CotSwolds in New Hamp-
shire, Vermont and other New England
States will send TO us five tleeces from
their several fOcks we will have them
cleansed at one of the best manutactur-
ing establishments in New England, and
the cleansed wool, with its loss by
shrlnkage, shall be on exhibition at Con-
cord in September, This proposition is
open until the 18th of August. Now,
gentlemen wool growers, here is an OPP
portunity of testing the question of
shrinkage of the various kinds of WOO,
and of the truth or falsity of our asser-
tions upon the subject. So send in your
heeces. 1t shall cost you nothing but
freight, as the cleansing shall be at our
expense.-MancheSter m II, Mirror.

at is gratifying to know that the as

instead of the advance Of the great Re-

the nation with the same sagacity and

may, without check, soon succeed in es-
tablishing that peace which was already
dawning on the horizon.

The Message of President johnson, which so
largely occupies our reading columns to-day
will be read with deep interest, and we believe
with not little satisfaction. by the mass OF our
democratic readers. Ii will be seen the President
refuses to back down an inch from the position
on which he planted himself moaths ago On the
question of reconstruction. The States have not
gone out Of the Union the States have not CON-
mitted treason but the people of the States have,
and not the States but the people must be punished
for tr .ason. When the people of the Southern
States have shown. by adopting the constitution a
amendment abolI>hiug slavery, by repudra,ing the
rebel debt, and by obeying the Constitution and
laws OF the land the sincerity of their desire to
live again as law abiding citizens of the L. s.,
there is constitutional provision to keep their
States on. of the Union This, it W II be seen Is
the very opposite of the Sumner Colfax radical
theory. to which both houses OF Congress stand
committed, and must place them IN opposition 10
