WORSE FOR 4SUaINER.-Some oyerzeaIouS
but Wofully indiscreet friend of Senator Sum-
ner, in an effort to counteract the damage done
that'indiyidaals reputation by his wife's CON-
plant thath is, lacking lin the attributes Of
manhood, tellssthea most improbable story that
during lastsumner itWas very apparent to all
who saw MRS. Summer that she was likely soon
to present her lord with living token of their
mutual love. The babbling fool seemed not to-
discern that in endeavoring to establish Sum
ner's yirility he was dannably blackening Mrs.
Summers honor Were his story true, Sumner
would be fully justified in putting her away
from him; he would be dishonored himself, in.
deed, if he did not separate from her. But the
fact that Mrs. Sumner has separated from him
for cause, and the facts known of the actual
nature of the disorder for which he was treated
in Washington and also in Europe, subsequent
to his being hit on the head with a small walk,
ing stick by Preston Brooks. too clearly prove
that procreation is, not possible with the Idol

FEARFUL STATE OF SOCIETY IN EAST
TENNEsSEE.--Accounts from East
Tennessee describe it's condition to
be such as Mississippi was at the close.
of the war--lawlessness overriding
everything. Loyal men are warned
to leave under threats of violence
and murder, and crime runs rampant.
A letter from Greenville says:
"On Wednesday morning last a
party of men, under command of a
man named Hobbs, came into Blount-
vile and rode to the central portion
of the town, where they met Mr.. Mel
son Wright, an old man OF seventy.
and who had during the entire war
been Union man. Hobbs said to
him: "You-old william, understand
you used to help Yankees make their
escape from our prisons" Mr.. Wright
replied that he had not, but that he
had once fed a party of them, and
would do it again if an opportunity
presented. Hobbs Immediately drew
his revolver and shot him through the
head, at the same time exclaiming:
@Then take your pay, you-old thief"
The party then rode through town
and called out for several Union men.
who very wisely did not answer, as
they would undoubtedly have shared
the fate of Mr.. Wright and as there
to be no more for then to
do they rode over the line into Vir- |
ginia. The Union citizens have ap-
piled to Governor Brownlow for aid. |
and he has sent company of militia
cavalry into that county, and if the
are found, it will matter
little to them whether it be in Ten
lessee or Virginia, they will be arrest.
ed. The region of country along the
Virginia and Tennessee border is
mountainous, with but few settlements.
md it will be found quite difficult to
'ver get order there without killing
large number of the desperadoes.'

How DO YOU ACCOUNT FOR IT?-
Last Fall, Charles Randall, of this
town, purchased of Henry Houghton
a pig six months old. He was bright,
active and promising, and for three
months appeared like other pigs, ex-
cept that he grew slowly. At about
four months old his hind legs failed
and for month or more he pulled
himself about with his fore legs
Finally his fore legs began to fail, and
after keeping him five months Mr..
Randall killed him. A post mortem
examination showed that the pigs
bones, all over the body, had softened
into sort of jelly. His ribs were
separated from the backbone, and had
apparently fallen to pieces. The bic
was put into kettle and boiled. and
all that remained of his bones was a
lew small pieces, not sufficient, Mr..
randall says, to fill a quart cup
lie wants some farmer to account for
this thing and to inform him what all
ed the pig.-Lyndon Union.

RELIGIoUs.-The attendance upon
the various churches in our village
was never as large as at present.
The Methodist society contemplate
charging their church edifce, in or
der to make room for their largely in
creasing congregation. The evening
meetings are still continued with great
interest.
The total number attending the
Congregational Sabbath school on
Sunday last was 347,-an increase of
about 100 within the past six months.
The sacrament of the Lords Supper
will be administered at the Congre-
gational Church tomorrow, Several
persons are to be admitted by bap-
tism.
The resignation of Rev. R. S. How.
ard of the Episcopal church has been
accepted and he goes to Woodstock
about the first of June.-Rutland In

Letter from Wisconsin.
LA Crosse, WIS, April q, 1857.


LA CROSSE, WIS.,, April p 1857.
Friend Earle:-This morning / re-
ceived two copies of the Standard,
and was so much pleased with its ia
miliar countenance, tnat | am induced
to write you, thinking that a discrip-
ton of La Gross and its surround
ings might not be. uninteressing to
your many readers.
This city contains about ten thous-
and inhabitants, and is beautifully
situated on the east side Of the Mis-
sissippi at the junction of the Black
river. 1t is regularly laid out into
broad streets, and much taste is dis
played in ornamenting the city with
trees and shrubbery. Both sides of
nearly all the streets in the city are
set with trees, which grow very rapid
ly; some of them that were set four
teen years ago, having grown to a
foot in diameter. In the hot DAYS of
summer one can walk into almost any
part of the city, refreshed by the cool
shade of it's beautiful trees. La Cross
has grown to its present size within
fourteen years, and is now growing
more rapidly than ever. Men that
came here ten years ago with a small
capital, are now ri CHI; and for per-
son with small amount of ready
money, | know ofno place in all the
West that [ could more confidently re.
commend to them than this. Real
estate can now be b ought cheap, which
must inevitably, bring in few years
large price. Most of the English
population arr from the East, and are
social, kind-hearte d, energetic, goa
head people.
The dreaded fever and ague, SO
common in the West, is not known il
this place, and Vermo MT can not boast
of so healthy place within her bord
ers. Good water, no mud, provisions
of every kind as cheap or cheaper
than they can be procured East.
The bluffs on each side of the river
resemble somewhat the bills of Yer
mon7, only they are not green; they
are composed Of a sort of white lime
stone, which are easily wrought into
suitable shape for buildings, and many
very fine buildings are made from
them. This being the county seat,
the Jail is situated here, made of stone
from these quarries, and outwardly it
is all imposing looking edifce. /
haren't seen the inside get, but presume
it looks well too.
There are two graded schools in
the city, which employ ten teachers,
and the people are manifesting quite
an interest in the cause OF education.
Besides these, there are several pri-
vate schools, and one Catholic Two
daily papers are printed here, the daily
Republican, and the daily Democrat;
the latter edited by "Brick" Pomeroy,
of whom most of your readers have
heard. He's little rash sometimes.
There are nine steam mills in the city.
doing almost all kinds of business.
and hotels-well I'll not undertake
to enurmerate them-and occasionally
a lager beer saloon. But | must
close. Yours truly,
VI. Z. VARNEY.
