Montpelier genius has struck out Q new

Shore, either Newport, Long Branch, or
Saratoga, but in the forests on the hanks of
our own Vermont lakes. j ames R. Langdon

shore of Peacham pond for month, and
are to remain until September first, while
Geo. Langdon and family have pitched upon
the border of Greensboro pond. Both en-
campments have been visited by great mum.

rying, boating, fishing, and the social enjoy
ments of the family and their intimate friends
make up this sort of summer life. 1t is

The Macomb Eagle, of the nth, contains
"a lengthy and interesting account of the ded
ication, on the Sunday previous, of the new
catholic church, in that city. According to
the Eagle the attendance was very large
some 1000 people being present. sos
An address was delivered by the pastor,
Rev. John Larmer, formerly a. lad in this
city and q student with the late Father John
P. Donelsn. Mass was celebrated by Rev
Mr.. Hendricks, of Warsaw, and the dedica
ton sermon preached by Rev. Louis DeCal
ley, of Keokuk. .--.a.
The Eagle concludes its account of the
ceremonies, &C., as follows Il. s.--s.
"MAcomb may well feel proud of her catholi
church. 1t is the largest, hsndsomest and mos
conveniently arranged house of worship in tn
county. The building is indeed credit to on
rapidly growing young city, and though but few
of our citizens contributed material aid to assis
in its construction, its benefits viii be shared b.
every resident of the city. To the untiring ener
gy land financial management of Rev. John Lar
mer, our catholic people indebted for tn
splendid church edifce now dedicated to thei
use. With but very little to encourage-an
nearly everything to dishearten-has the rever
emo gentleman labored, and successfully met 81
obstacles, until his noble efforts have been crown
ed with honorable victory, and his people favore
with the privilege of worshipping God in thei
own house. Mr.. Larmer deserves, not only tn
thanks and congratulations of the catholic PEG
pie, but of every citizen of Macomb and MELON

judgement manifested in thus erecting neat an
substantial church which is alike ereditable I

Night Scene in a Boarding House.
From the Philadelphia Press.


A lady, whose husband is in California,
Calcutta, or Chicago, suddenly awakened
from her sleep the other morning about two
o'clock, and springing from her bed, dashed
out of her room, en- dishdbitte, screaming at
the top of her voice, Murder! Help! Muir
derl Man in'my ROOM &c.,&e. Under the
circumstances this was quite natural, mas
much as more than one mistake of this kind
had happened in the house recently. Now,
it appeared that no less than three husbands
were absent when they should have been
there, and consequently there was more or
| less wonder, mixed up with a species of APP
| prehension on the part of three wives, each
one wondering whether it was her husband
who had thus forgotten himself or the room.

the wife upon reaching the landing on the
upper floor.

During the past week, we have passof
over a considerable portion of the rural dis.
tricts in the north and northwestern portion

ton is, that while there are some few fields
that viii make average yields, the great mass
of the corn crop in the region visited by u.
will be a failnre-and under the most favor
able circumstances, there cannot be half 9

The radicals talk great deal about the
democrats, copperheads, dc, doing this, ad-
vising that, in public affairs, and endeavor
to hold them in some degree responsible for
the general decentralization that exists in all
departments of the government But this
subterfuge to escape responsibility will not
serve them. They elected the officers they
denounee-they control all branches of the
government, weld all the power, legislative,
executive, judicial, and are responsible for
the confusion that prevails. They have
been quarreling every since Mr.. Lincoln was
elected. They were continually hampering
and denouncing him committees from his
party In congress were constantly interior
ing with his duties-demanding the dismiss
al of his cabinet at one time. recommending
his forcible election from office at another,
while he was denounced by Ben Wade and
Henry Winter Davis as usurping power to
secure his reelection, and Anna Dickinson
and Horace Greeley labored with all their
strength to defeat his nomination for o sec
ond term. Committees were appointed to
follow and direct the army and assume the
authority belonging exclusively to the com
| mander.in-chief. When the assassin's bullet
| robbed the nation of its highest officer, the
| radical pulpit declared it an interposition OF
| Providence in removing a servant whose
heart was becoming too soft. The upshot OF
the whole matter is, experience has proved
that the republicans do not know enough to
select good officers, or to administer grea,
government. But this democrats canno,
help. The whole country suffers from the
| deficiency, and democrats would be very
glad to find relief in the restoration of the
Union. They would be glad to see the south
| register ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS any tolerablt
course that would end this sectional party
| contention, and reseat civil authority by un
seating demagoguism and usurpation.
