HERE We COME-There was we'd
ding in a church in a village near lineage,
recently. which was attended By crowd oil
pcople' the BRIDE being the famous belle IN
that section, and the bridegroom an ex-voi-
unteer captain. There Is a story about him
that was revived with great effect az the
wedding. lie was IN the frontier service,
and one day $50 the story goes) be went out
to hunt bear. He had been away from
camp q few hours, when his voice was
heard family in the distance exclalming-
"H-e-r-e We como :"
In little while the same cry was heard
again, but nearer and louder when finally
the bold captain emerged from bit Of
woods near the camp, running at the top OF
his speed, without hat, coat or gun. In be
came to camp, shouting, "Here We come -
..Here who come - inquired brother
officer.
"Why, Inc and the game, gasped the
captain, pointing to big bear who showed
himself at the edge OF the woods, took
long look at the camp, and then with
grOwl at missing bis expected meal OF the
captain, disappeared in the woods again.
''But why didn't you shoot the bear, and
bring him in p inquired one.
"N hat the use IN snO0tlnS your saW''
said the captain, testify, "when you can
bring him IN alive as didF'
The story got home before the captain
did, and was in everybOdy's mouth. The
other night, as the captain led his intended
bride into the church, with the pride and
grace so readily inspired by the occasion
some wicked wag sang out from the gallery
'H-e-r-e We come
Which was followed by such a shout oil
laughter as that old church never before.

The adoption of a resolution by the Re-
publican State Convention of Massachusetts,
declaring that the Old Bay State will stand
bv Congress, if it becomes necessary 10 I'M
peach President johnson, is not the only
sign of the times looking in the same direc-
ton 10 speech before that Convention
Ex-Gov. Boutwell, said;
Why should the people Of this country fear to
DO what they nearly all believed TO be a sacred
public duty7 The preceden- itself would be a
warning to all future demagogues. The trial and
execution Of Charles the First in England was
warning to all future monarchs Of that country.
The speaker himself was satisfied that Mr..
johnson had been guilty Of Improbable otfenses.
He wss in favor of a fair investigation by the
Representatives Of the people.
And the sentiment was received with loud
and long applause.
Senator Wilson has also recently SAID:
Perhaps il may so happen that an outraged
nation that is master of Presidents, Congresses
and Generals, may bid this msu-drunk at
least with unreasonlng passion descend IRON
that lofty position from which he smites down

lsge, where his abilities will find al appropriate
sphere of action, in filling once again the othce
Of village Alderman.
Alta republican mass meeting in Phila-
delphia last week, Senators Nyc, Cameron
and Cottle spoke, and a resolution that it is
the duty of Congress to impeach President
johnson, and if found guilty, promptly
remove him, was enthusiastically adopted.
The New York Nation which prides itself
on its superiority to political passion, and
which has heretofore steadily opposed the
"radical'' scheme Of impeachment, now
says:
We have opposed with such arguments and
with as much earnestness as We had at COM
mand, the attempts made during the past year
to impeach the President We did so from the
belief, which we still retain, that up to this
summer be had done nothing to justify resort
10 20 dangerous precedent. But we have no
hesitation in saying that should be attempt, as
he seems now likely to do. to prolonr the con-
fict between himself and Congress should be
persist in claiming for himself the right either
10 legislste or TO judge what laws are constitu-
tiopal or e1pedient, and by that judgment regu-
late his Official conduct should he, in short.
either BY the kind Of men he selects for cabinet
Minister or military commanders, or by the
ipstructAns be gives them, show unmistakAbly

or executing il in Q manner different from that
in which the legislature intended it to be exc
cuted, il viii be the bounden duty Of the legis-
lsture to remove him, even if be has not proved

duty.

That GAxE.-A correspondent OF wal

The eighth inning was interrupted by one
Of those occurrences that ought TO teach every
base ball player the folly of disputlng the uni,
uire. The umpire called ''out on the second
base whereupon the "Alerts'' disputed and
c7ntended that the man was not out, and the
bvstanders, who were mostly either in sympa-
thy with the sAlerts'' or GfreTSe TO the
"Crescents,'' clamored against the umpire so
that the play was completely broken up, and
the umpire declared It no game. 1t is ru-
morei that the committee viii decide the game
and award the prize, which viii be very ex-
/ traordinary proceeding, and contrary to all
rules of base ball and good sense. An UNI

limbs and powerful lungs They played beau
tifully; their pitcher and catcher were the best
on the grounds, and their left fielder was
probably the fastest thrower. But they swore,

was intellect and Education, and the adj
dress was a thoughtful and finely written
discussion Of that theme. To q Vermont
audience the address had suggestions Of
practical value, quite Jey0nd its interest to
a mere scholar. \ complete education Mr..
Eaton regards as the best gif, the State can
b.s;ow up0n its children, and Dee would no,
only have the common schools supported By
tlxation, but he hoped to zee the day when
Vermont should make education IN colleges
and universities, if not wholly a public
charge, yet partially so, and sufficiently to
draw into those retreats Of leaving hum
trcds and thousands who now clnno. afford
the cost OF higher instruction. This point
Mr. Eaton urged with much force Of Illus
tration and argument. II Is a consideration
of practical moment, and well worthy the
consideration of every friend Of a thorough
education, and every lover Of a well-ordered
and stable clmm0nWealth.-MoHt. Freeman.
