The YANKEE PEDuER. There Is a
sheriff residing in Illinois, who was
taken in and done for on one occa-
sion. He made it prominent part OF
his business to ferret out and punish
peddlers for travelling through the State
without license but one morning he
met his match in the person Of genu-
inc Yankee peddler
"What have you got to sell-any
thing ?" asked the sheriff.
"Yaas, sartin what dye want ? Got
RACERS, fust, that's an article you need,
squire, I should say by the look of
your baird. Got good blackin j: twill
make them old boots of yourn shine
soft you can shave in 'em e'namost.
Balm of Columby, too. only one 81 a
bottle, good for the HAIR, an assistin
poor natur, as the poet says"
And SO he ratified on. At length the
sheriff bought bottle of the balm of
Columbia and, in reply to the ques-
ton whether he wanted anything elsel
that functionary said he did-he want
ed to see the Yankees license for ped
ding in Illinois, that being his duty as
sheriff
The Yankee showed him q document
fixed up good and strong, in black and
white. The sheriff looked att and pro-
nounced it all right. Then handing
back the bottle to the peddler, he said
81 don't think, now that I've bought
this stuff, shall ever want it. Ireckon
I might as well sell it back to you.
What will give for it %
90, darn the stuff is no use to me,
but SEEM it's you, sheriff, I'll give you
twenty five cents for it, if you really
don't want it.
The sheriff handed over the bottle at
the large discount from his own pur-
chase, and received his change.
CHOW" says the peddler," I've got n
question to ask you. Have you got any
peddler's license about your trousers
anywhere ?"
mo; 1 haven't any use for the ar
ticle, myself" replied the sheriff.
"Hain't eh? Wal, I guess we'll see
about that, pooty darn soon. Eff I I'M
derstand the law, it's q clear case that
you have been tradin' with me-hawk-
in and peddlin' Balm Of Columby on
the highway I'll inform on you,
darn'd if I don't"
The Yankee was as good as his word.
When he reached the next village he
made his complaint, and the sheriff was
fined for selling without license.
He was heard afterward to say that
"you might as well try to hold greae-
ed eel as a live Yankee"

TIE NATIONAL CAMP MEETING. The
Saratoga Evening Post closes q notice
of the recent National Camp Meeting
at Round Lake, N. Y, as follows:
The ministerial talent was generally
of high order, aside from the one
idea of instant sanctifcation, which
seems to have been theme of every
discourse and exhortation. This OBJ
jet has been general on the part Of
many who attended, and wi not
probably be accepted as the ruling be
lief in the Methodist Episcopal Church.
How far this meeting has been produc-
tive of good, how far it has elevated
mankind towards state of perfect
holiness, it is not for us to decide, and
it is a question in the minds of many
good men, we find, whether this plan
of qualification is productive of q
healthy religious interest.
From all that we can gather with
reference to this meeting, from those
who attended, those who went for a
good purpose, good Christian men and
women, we must say that we fear it will
be productive Of no good, but will tend
to ALLEVIATE that Christian harmony,
which at the present time exists be-
tween the members of all the evangeli-
cal churches.

! THE NORTHERN PACIFIC EXPLORING PARTY.
We cut from the Winona (NIinn) RePubh-
can the following item, showing one of the
experiences of the party of which Mr.. Lord
is a member.
The Northern Pacific Railroad exploring
party had rather a rough introduction into
camp life on their first night out. They
went into camp about three miles above st.
Cloud, and during the night a terrific storm
of wind and rain came up, which blew their
tents down, and scattered their things
around in every direction, and wet the whole
party completely through. The scene is
represented as being very amusing. The
storm occurred after they had all retired for
the night, and came on suddenly with such
fury as to blow their tents down, and scatter
things generally, before many Of them could
even get their clothes on, and for a time
flags of distress were to be seen flying in
every direction. The scene is better mag
ined than described.
DEsTRUCTIAE THUNDER SHowER.-A sub
scribcr at North Grantham, n. H., in send
ing US his subscription, under date Of July,
10Th, says
We had a severe thunder storm in this
vicinity last Friday, in which two dwelling
houses, one un~occupied, and the family
absent from the other, were struck, doing
but little damage however to them. One
barn was struck on Howe hill, the electric
fluid killing a calf, and slightly damaging
the building Also a nice ye~arling heifer
was killed in this town, or just in the edge
Of Springfield. And still another barn in
Sunapee was struck and burned, with its
contents, consisting of a pig, two calves, two
wagons, &c, making it on the whole Il very
unusual shower, though fortunately no per
son was injured.
