SPaEADING THE GosPEL.-A correspond

minister was recently preaching written
discourse in Andover, the wind, entering
through an open window, whisked the ser
mon off the desk, and the most Of 1t through
an opposite window, scattering 1t through
field of grain. No one going to his aid the
young Reverend was obliged to leave the
desk and the church and hunt up his flying
sermon, which, with its re-arrangement, took
about quarter of an hour. This new way
of spreading the gospel as may be imag-
ined, was anything but a serious matter to
the observation-disclosures american.
The last report from Washington is that
the Johnson leaders have, within the past
two OF three days. been making an effort to
induce the President to modify his policy
and come out in favor Of the amendment to
the Constitution, or at least TO secretly urge
ita ratification upon tina Southern leaders ss
toe only means now left for protecting the
veto power and securing respectable admin
istration minority in Congress during the re-
mainder OF Mr.. Johnson's term Of office. So

MONTPELIER, OCTOBER 5, 1866.

AN ALARM OF FtRE was given on Thurs
day afternoon last, at Burnhem's Hotel caused
by the ignition Of barrel Of Kerosene, which
was being opened in the cellar; but owing
to the promptness Of our engine companies,
the fire was soon extinguished. No. was
the first to throw water. The porter, who
was in the cellar, with Mr. Burnham, was
very severely burned on the hand and arm.

The FREEDMEN IN SOUTH OARoLINA.--
Th4 Charlestown Leader, the Freedmen s
paper, says the persistence of the land-hold-
ers in South Carolina, in refusing to lease or
sell lands to the freedmen, has begun to work
already. In a number Of the districts, hun
dreds of men have planted their last crop in
the State. They are saving their money from
this years labor, and are preparing to go to
Florida, and seek homes for their families,
and leave the petulant planters to till their
own ground or starve. Five hundred are al
ready organized in Darlington district, to go
this winter thousands more of the best men
re making preparations to follow. The
freedmen have the exclusive right till 1867 to
take up the public lands in Florida, OF whicl
each man can secure eighty acres by paying
five dollars down and five more in five years
The Leader advises the freedmen to exert
themselves to thus secure homes and inde-
pendence in Florida, and it ia good advice.

A New Orleans dispatch states that urgent
demands are being made on Governor Wells
to convene the Legislature in extra session,
ostensiby for the repair of the levees on the
river, but really to accomplish his impeach-
ment, as the Legislature is as ultra Southern
as the Governor is radical. He refuses per-
emptorily, and remains in the State when he
really desires to go North, because in his ao-
sence Lieut.. Colonel Voorhes would surely
issue the asked-for proclamation.

On the 9Th or 18th ofNovember next, says
Professor Newton, OF Yale College, prodi-
gious flight of meteors, the most imposing Of
its kind, will make its appearance, probably
for the last time ia this country. Only thir-
teen of these meteoric showers are recorded
between the years 903 and 1888. That of
the latter year was a sublime spectacle. Ara
go computes that no less than two hundred
and forty thousand meteors we're visible above
the horizon of Boston on the morning of the
18th OF November. 1888. This display was
seen all over North America. A similar dis
play was seen by Hum bolt at Cumana, South

AN tXTRAoRDGNARY LAW CAsR.--A sim
gular case came off in the Police Court at La
Crosse. Wis, few days since 1t appears
tn 1t two young gentlemen had long been
counting young lsdy, each one striving to
gain her consent to marriage. One evening
when all three were sitting together, a dis
pute arose about the shortest distance to
North La Crosse. They referred the matter
TO the girl, who laughingly replied thtt the
best way to decide which was the quickest,
and as there was but little difference in the
distance, vhe could know which was the
smartest man. And she playfuly said go,
noble knights, and he who frs, returns shall
claim my hand in marriage I" Both men
started, one actually making the required dis
tance after forty minutes walk on a net night,
aud the other simply stepping around the
corner, and then returned for a cozy chat
with the girl. When the former returned
some hard words ensued, and he told the
girl to 60 to--a hotter place than La Crosse
and left the house. He brought suit
against the girl to recover pay for a bill of
goods which he had presented to her while
sparkling her, viz: For gold ring, fancy fan,
white kids and confectionery, amounting to
$3.50. At the trial the young lady pre-
sented cross bill, for kerosene oil, rent of
parlor for sparkling and confectionery, Sl3.
rs. After rather amusing trial. the court
gave verdict of 25 cents and costs against
the plaintiff, the costs amounting to $l362.

DOUBLING ONES LIFE.-- his process is
a more simple one than would be thought.
Instead of seeking to live so entirely on the
plane of the senses, suppose we rise to the
plane Of interior feeling and thought. What
is money accumulated for II for the love
Of accumulation merely, it is much too low
and cheap a motive. If for the social power
that wealth is supposed to bostow, it is still
very insufficient and unworthy purpose.
But if for independence, such as commands
leisure, and secures favorable conditions, and
makes each one his own master as he well
can be, then it must result in culture, in re-
fnement, in knowledge, in reflection, in real
life. Thus we double our lives, and fully
enjoy both.

The SoUrH-WHAr rs Irs DUrY ?-Clearly
the duty OF the Southern States and Southern
politicians just now is to pass the constitutional
amendment in the Legislatures Of the different
States. They will thus obtain representation
in Congress that will enable them to protect
their interests, and will, in fact, insure that 70
construction Of the Union which the radicals
are working to prevent. We have already shown
the advantage which the South would gain
in Congress by adopting the amendment which
the radicals opposed with all their strength,
which the President recommended and which
the conservatives carried by their votes. We
think, therefore, that the policy Of the South in
the present state Of affairs Is to pass the con-
stitutional amendment without delay.
