A VIEW IN GREECE.-It had been my
good fortune to stand on the top of Mont
Blanc, Monte Rosa and the Finsleraar-
horn, and to wander among some Of the
polden-hued mountains ofBraZll. Truly,
these are grand things to think of; bat
though Pentelicus is only about $500
feet above the sea, yet | never felt so
intensely interested, | may say SO pro-
foundly affected, as when | looked upon
old Greece from its summit The sacred
region of art, poetry and philosophy, the
land of heroes, the abodes OF the immor-
tails, were all spread out in one enchant-
ing view. Almost at our feet, on the
north, lay the plains of Marathon, all
corn-Helds down to the edges of the fatal
swamps we could see the tumulus rails

mighty dead and near US must have

Athens from the battlefield and died as
soon as he could give utterance to the
glorious tidings hat the Persians had
been driven into the sea. There lay the
blue channel of the Euripas, and beyond
it Eubea. That long island which so
puzzled us in our map-making youthful
days, with its odd points and corners and
bays, was now g~lOrified into q chain of
exquisiteIy beautiful mountains, rejoic-
ing in a sun which covered them with
purple and gold. More TO the west rose
Citheron and Parnes, towards which
Aristophanes made his Clouds fly when
disguised with their reception in the city.
Then came the shining plain of Athens,
and the dark olive groves of the Academy
where Plato walked and taught, the
bright hills of Corinth, and far away

of eminence ventures the assertion that,
with care and protection, even inarable
territory and sandy deserts, as in Arabia and
Africa, might in places be covered with
forests, the theory not being inconsistent
either with experience or the deductions
of science. In fact, many acres in the
Sciota and Miami v~elleys, in Ohio, are
to-day covered with a thrifty timber
growth sufficient for fuel and fencing,
which, thirty years ago, were entirely
destitute. 1t is stated that timber is be-
coming sufficiently abundant for domestic
use in that state, where the land at the
period of first settlements was without
trees, and, in the ordinary p~arIance of the
times, was known as the "barrens ;" the
process of timber cultivation being now,
in fact, silently going on in the States of
the West as we'll as those in the middle
ATTITUDES.
AN EXPERIMENT WORTH TRYING A
good story is told of a Glasgow merchant
who, on his death-bed, sent for a Free
Church clergyman. Having some fears
regarding his future prospects, he asks
the reverend gentleman-"Do you think,
if [ were 10 leave 100000 to the Free
Kirk, that my soul would be saved ?"
"WeIl.' answered the cautious minister,
II couldn't just promise you that, but l
think it's All experiment we'll worth

STATISTICS OF CATHoL1CISM.-The "Ca-
tholic Directory and Ecclesiastical Regis
ter" for 1867, published, rs the title o g
informs us, permiSSw SuperiorMm, has just
made It's appearance. In the statistical
summary of this little volume are given
the numbers Of the clergy, churches,
chapels, converts, SC, of the Roman Ca
thoIic denomination throughout Great
Britain. Under the head OF bishops and
priests is Il total of ] sos persons %officiat-
ing III England and Scotland, against 1869
on the 1st of January, 1866. Of churches,
chapeIs and missionary stations, there are
1907, against 1,171 at this time last year.
The converts number 220, against 2I1
twelve months ago. The Communities
of men," or monasterieS, are now So,
against IS, and the colleges, 10, against
II, for the same period. These figures
do not include any statistics of Ireland or
of the colonies. The total number of
Roman Catholic archblshOps and bishops

in England. l archbishopand 16 bishops;
in Scotland, 4 bishops; in Ireland, 4

STRANGE DISCovERY.-Newest among
what Mr.. Tennyson calls the "fairy gifts
of SCIENCE" we notice an invention Of
Mr.. Hyett to make trees imbibe colour
while growing. The results were ex-
hibited lately at the Conversations of the
C~irencester Royal Agricultural College,
IN the form of beautiful sections and plan
chettes of wood, stained. with various
hues. Metallic salts are introduced into
the substance of the growing tree, sppa-
rently carried up by the sap, and forced
into the fibre and cells Of the stem.

CALIFORNIAN GoLD.-It results from
American statistics that the receipts of
the precious metals at New York from
California were in 1859 80, $685. 100 dolls;
in 1860 they declined TO 34,5sO,27l dolls. ;
in 1861 they remained about stationary.
amounting to BASS, 749 dolls; in 1862
declined to 25, O79, 1877 dolls. !; and in 1863
to I2,2O7, 800 dolls. In 1864 there was
a rally TO l2,9O7,8 O3 dolls. and in 1865
the total further advanced to 81 ,53l $50
dolls. California would appear, however,
TO have seen it's best days as o g%old-pro-
ducing centre.

movement has been originated by Mr..
Francis Fuller, one of the founders of the
Crystal Palace, TO promote q public sub
scription in aid of their exerticns. He
believes that 1900 persons can be readily
found to subscribe or collect 91OO each,
which would suffice to restore a building
which may be said to be of national i'm
portance, and which has so greatly tend
ed to the refinement and social progress
of the people. Many offers of sums of
this amount have already been received ;
an influential committee is being organis-
ed ; and it cannot be doubted that all
classes of society will cheerfuIly contri-
butte, according 10 their means, to accom-
pliSh the desired object. M. Blondin has
addressed Mr.. Fuller, expressing his deep
regret at the loss which the public have
sustained, and his desire to give, as his
contribution, two gratuitous performances
on the high rope in the Crystal Palace, in
aid Of the restoration fund, which will,
in all probability, produce a considerable
sum.
A BRITISH SHIP SEIZED BY CHINESE
PIRATEs.-The ship China, from Shang-
hal for Batavia, arrived at Hong Kong on
the 4th of October, with the chief mate
and II of the crew of the ship Westmin-
ster, bound TO London, which they report
at Pratas Shoals. The captain took a
boat, and made for East End Island for
assistance, leaving the mate in charge of
the ship, which was soon after boarded
by Cinnamon, who advised all on board
to leave. The mate and crew left the
ship in two boats. The captain and six
men returned 10 the vessel, and are sup
posed to have been murdered by the
pirates, AS the mate afterwards hailed the
ship and was told that the captain had
left some time before. The water-boats
were soon after picked up by the ship
China. Commodore Jones, hearing the
particulars, is reported as having sent
%gun-boats to the assistance Of the vessel.
The Westminster had a large cargo from
Calcutta. Hong Kong dates to 9th Oc-
tOber announce the capture Of the Amer
lean brigantine Cuba by Chinese pirates,
near Pedro Brancs. The captain was
deliberately shot, and the vessel pilIaged
and set on fire, and then abandoned.
Through the exertions Of the survivors,
however, the fire was extinguished, and
the ship brought safely into port.

The County Convention.

The Union Convention, to chose Del
egates from Sandusky County to attend
the State Convention, meets in the old
headquarters tomorrow Saturday ar
ternoon at 2 o'clock. The weather Is
SO favorable just now for spring work
on the farm that it is too much to ex-
pect large attendance from the coun-
try. Still, we trust that every portion
of the County will be represented, at
least, even if it is at the expense OF
time that may justly be considered val
liable. That the Convention, whether
it be large or small, will not hesitate to
take ground fully abreast with the par
ty on the most radical issues. of the
,Iay, we have not doubt. The he
publicsns of old Sandusky are not so nu-
,nerous as they foot up in some other
counties, but they lack nothing OF that
steadfast adherence to right and earn
cstness which sooner or later win sue
cess and keep it after it has been won.

Union building Association.

The Cooperative Building Associ-
alton has been chartered and organized
under the name of THE UNION BUILD
ING ASSOCIATION OF FREMONT, and the
hooks are now open for stock subscrip-
tions, at the office of D. S. CAMF1ELD.
The Capital stock is to consist of 1000
shares of two hundred dollars each,
payable in monthly installments of one
dollar per share The charter members
are Messrs. d. L. JUNE, d. S. CAMFIKLD,
THO. CLAPP, E. LoUDENstEeKR, and
]. H.. GREENE.
Objects of the Association are to aid
members in the acquisition of free hold
property, 10 the erection of buildings
and improvement of the same, and the
removal of membranes or liabilities
upon property already held by them,
by lending them the full amount of
their shares upon furnishing approved
security.
The advantages of the Association
are briefly these: 1t enables member
10 pay for home in monthly Install
Iuents, less than ordinary rent The
number of shares taken by any member
are limited to ten, SO that capitalists or
tpeculators cannet take advantage of
the Association to borrow large sums,
two thousand dollars being the largest
amount single member can borrow.
It is open to any person in Sandusky
coanty.
1t promises good interest for money
paid in small monthly installments.
1t is good investment ,or all who can
save from one 10 ten dollars per month,
aud who would otherwise spend it need
lessly; for parents who wish TO lay by
something every month for their chill
dren; for clerks, mechanics, DC, who
wish to accumulate money 10 begin
business with.
The stock. which arcumulates by a
greater interest than six per cent. is
transferable, and is always good for the
face and accrued interest.
1t is expected that the thousand
shares will be taken as early as the lst
of August No shares will be paid nor
money loaned until all the stock is taken.
The officers of the Association, pro-
vided for by the Constitution, will be
elected as soon as sufficient number of
shares are taken to warrant the calling
Of a meeting.
The Constitution and bylaws of the
Association will be published in full
next week. Copies will also be fur
nished for general circulation and may
be had at the office of d. S. CAMFIELD.

The ComptroIIersI,ip.

The policy pursued by the RePueii-
can party in renominating certain OF
the State officers for a second term,
where they have proved capable and
faithful, is probably the soundest that
could be adopted, and as there is no
reason why it should be departed from
in the coming Convention, it ought not
TO be, unless it is in the case OF Gov.
Cox, whose emphatic declination few
weeks ago, no less than his inherent
conservatism, places him outside the
list We understand that Col. MOSES
r. BRAnEY, the present Comptroller o'
The Treasury, will be candidate for
denomination to that position, and az
ne has managed the duties Of the office
one term with ability, honesty aud faith
tulness, and is besides wounded sol
dier, we hope he will receive the nom
ination.

The Judiciary Committee of Con-
gress, having in charge the lmpeach-
ment investigation, have concluded
their labors, but their report will prob
ably not be published until December.
As usual, correspondents fill their let
tiers with guesses as to the result which
probably approach the truth in some
particulars but not in all. We take il
that the investigation has failed to pro-
duce any evidence more prejudicial to
the President than than that which ev-
erybody knew before; and that the in
uendoes and vague reports attempting
to fix upon him completely in the as
sassination plot have been shown to be
entirely groundless.

OER Of the natural and legitimate re-
suits Of the reconstruction act is the
change in the status of Union men in
the South. They have been in bad
odor with the Southern people, they
have been prosecuted, despised and
sometimes even banished. Now the
tables are turned and they are sought
out and asked to take Office. In South

recently issued a circular to the present
county officers, asking them to furnish
names of competent persons who can
take the test oath, that they may be
appointed registers and managers Of
