The Tariff Bill Laid over.

The Senate took Up on Thursday the Tariff
Bill as it came IRON the House, and after
remarks by Senator's Fessenden and Wilson,
to the effect that the bill needed important
alterations, motion to refer it to the FL
nance Committee with instructions to report
it next December, was carried by vote OF
% yeas to l6 nays. This Of course leaves
the Tariff. as it now stands. from SIX to eight
months longer. We presume the decision Of
the Senate was based upon the considerations
that it would be impossible to bring the
House and Senate to an agreement on some
Of the more important points Of the bill
without consumption of time which was
needed for other and highly important mat
ters before the close of the session, and that
the public interests Of the country would not
suffer so much detriment by leaving the

STILL VIGILAXr.-The little Inciden
which we are about to relate shows that our
neighbors over the line are on the watch for
any stray Fenians who may visit the bor-
der.
On the 9th OF July, Dr.. Pitman, of Mass,
who with his wife is spending the summer
Mt Highgate Springs, went out on the
lake fishing, and took a boatman with him
The two went down into Missisquol bay, and
finally went as tar as Phillipsburgh. Soon
after starting on their return 10 Highgate
Springs, and after getting this ride Of the
line, they were ordered to halt and come
ashore, by man on shore who carried
musket. and threatened to use it unless his
order was complied with. DR.. Pitman and
companion returned, therefore, when the
man directed them 10 70 lack to the bay,
which they consented 10 do only on condi-
tion Il at be would row the boat After
getting back into the bay another boat was
seen near at hand, and the man with the
musket having informed DR.. PItman who
its occupants were, the boat was hailed, an
acquaintance Of both parties was found who
vouched that DR.. Pitman was no
other than DR.. Pitman, and the prisoners
were allowed to 20 on their way without
further moles.ation. The DR.. saw Mr.. Nye
and others "hustling about the shore" ar
he expresses it. lie found cut that the
vigilance which caused his arrest sn the
American side OF the line by Canadian
valiant was intended for the special beneht
OF Gen. Spear. The DIR. will report the oe-
currence TO the authorities in WashingtOn.-

CRY DIKEcTORY.-Alr. H. ). HARr. the
publisher, has kindly land on our table the
Burlington City Directory for lS66- 1867.
IL Is neatly got up, contains arfeea pages
additional matter over that Of last year. and
oh the whole is very correct directory of
our city. We notice that the peighbor-
ing village Of WinooskI (Which is almost
a part OF our city and we trust within few
years will form an additional ward), finds
Ilice in the volume. The interests of
Nino1,ki are identical with those of Bur-
!ing;on, and Directory would not be
complete without including that
furnishing village. The map of the city,
which forms the frOntispiece Of the Directo-
ry, has been corrected and revised recently,
and is as correct as could be expected until
nuw survey of the city IS made. The
work is very complete, with but few omis-

The Snakes Egg Hatched.

Inc jealous eagerness with which the ra-
bid copperhead papers and politicians of the
North. and the active supporters of the re-
bcllion at the South, join their acclamations
in favor Of the Randa -Doolittle Convention
to meet at Philadelphia on the l4th of Au-
gust, has revealed its true purpose and what
will be Its character
For a few days there was show Of doubt
in some quarters as to It's object. 1t is to
be merely concern, said some OF the
democratic papers, to modify the Union-Re-
publican platform IN some particulars, thus
to make it more acceptable to the people,
and give additional strength to the party.
and we will have nothing to do with it
Now, however, the tune Is entirely changed.
Delegates from the rebel States are cspeciai-
ly urged to attend and the sound OF prcpara-
tion. by the call of conventions to appoint
delegates. Is heard on all sides throughout
the States lately in armed rebellion, and the
ranks Of those at the North who gave them
aid and encouragement. The great object
Of the convention Is to bring together and
re unite, If possible. the shattered links of
the old Democratic. pro-slavery. State-soye-
relgn'y party, and to give it power for fu-
ture action and the hope Of Its chief IA
yorers is that they shall weld Andrew John 7.
son fast into their chain. The convention
will be chiefly made up of men earnest for
that sort Of work, and they will be the only .
ones there who Will have influence or power 4
IN it. There may be present scattered
handful OF purjlind, uusta5le-minded men
who heretofore called themselves reruhli-
ans, or unionists while the war asted, but
Eho are now ready to take up with any side
Thlch they believe viii prove the winning
me ; but they viii be of no more account
n the convention than pile Of old hoops

The children were coming from cchOOl with

N0yEL Picture OF a NV ENGLAND SUM-
AER.-The following novel picture Of a New
England summer is from the pen Of Rufus
Choate:
take the New England climate in summer;
you would think the world vas coming to an
end. Certain recent heresies On that subject
may have had a natural origin there. Cold to
day; hot tomorrow; Mercury at so degrees in
the morning, with wind at southeast, and in
three hours more a sea turn, wind at east, a
thick fog from the very bottom Of the ocean,
and q fall Of 40 degrees of Fahrenheit. Now so
dry as to kill all the beans IN New Hampshire;
then foods carrying OF the bridges Of the Penob-
scot and Connecticut; snow in Portsmouth in
July; and the next day 4 man and a yoke Of oxen
killed by lightning in Rhode Island You would
think the world was 20 times coming to an end.
But don't know how 1t Is; We 90 along; the
early and the latter rain falls each in its season
seedtime and harvest do not fail; tie 60 days
of hot corn weather are pretty sure to be meas
ured out 10 us. The Indian summer, with It's
bland southwest and miugated sunshine brings
all up; and On the 25th Of November, or there
abouis, beng Thursday, three millions Of grate-
f1l people, in meeting houses or around the
family board, give thanks for year Of health,
plenty and happiness"
