The European War,

The war still continues to drag its slow
length along, though the variations are
now and then lively. Toul and Strasbourg
have fallen; some 1900 prisoners were
taken by the Prussians at the latter place
The heroic patriotism and determination
of General Ulrich finely contrasts with
the incompetency shown by some of the
French commanders.
Paris is besieged and defended with
equal skill and bravery. The reports Of
internal disturbances were, it seems, given
out by the Prussians, and are untrue.
Two large armies are forming in the
south of France, and new German army
so, 900 strong is preparing to enter France
from the north.
Meanwhile, Russia is uneasy; Egypt is
rebellious against Turkey; the Italian ar
my still occupies Rome; and England, as
usual is timid and undecided, even in the
face of floating rumor that Prussia and
Spain are arranging for the capture of
Gibralter!
LATER.
The Prusians were severely beaten in
an attack by the French on their lines
southwest of Paris. Five thousand pris.
oners and fifty cannon were taken, while
the slaughter was terrible and the rout
complete. The roads to Orleans and
Tours were re-opened. The Grown Prince
was commander of the Prussians. The
French were under Generals Ducrot and
Mendinton.
A sortie was made at Metz, Saturday,
resulting favorably for the French, who
captured several steel cannon, and much
camp equipage and supplies.
THE LATEST.
On Sunday another fight took place at
Rosny, 40 miles from Paris between an
army of French volunteers and the Prus-
slams; at first the latter were driven, but
reinforcements arrived and the French
we're routed.
At Toul 100, 900 Germans arc concent-
rating for operation against Lyons.
Prince Frederick Charles is dangerous
ly sick with typhus fever, and is to be
conveyed to Berlin.
Bismarck has denounced "Bull Run"
Russell as a liar; the Roman plebiscitum
has resulted almost unanimously in favor
of Italian unity; the French fleet is re-
ported as being annoyingly active King
William and escort had a narrow escape
from capture or death on the Cd by rea-
son of an ambuscaded attack of French

I am certain that we shall, eventually.
have to consider this as the next step IN
which we must improve our cattle. That
propensity to milk well is noticeable
through a whole family, no one can doubt
who has been at the trouble Of noticing
even in one limited herd-what differ
erences there are as to one tribe being al
ways good for the pail; the other just the

prefer the great, coarse half.bred bull for
his herd of dairy stock rather than give a

beast, can we wonder at the scores Of

pleased to note the fact after the conven.
hon, that it has been q successful one in
every particular. That it is to be first

the announcement. The directors of the

will loose an opportunity for musical inn

AT an informal meeting of the Lamoille
Association of Congregat' onal ministe s,
at Morrisville on the day Of Mr. Gleed'
funeral, some such tribute to his memory,
as follows, was desired to be published
and entered on its records:
Since it has pleased God in His mercy
to remove our venerable brother, Rev.
John Gleed, from our Association to a
state of eternal duration in the assoca-
tons of the blessed =
Resolved, That whilo we bow with sub
mission to the Divine will, it is becoming,
that in this association, rcdolent of his
memory, we should remember his virtues
and his labors. Though his benignant
face and venerable form are forever gone,
his wise counsels and good example yet
remain.
Reselred That brother Gleed was n
worth example of an able aud devoted
Christian minister and man. Devoutly
careful Of the "faith once delivered to the
saints" diigent and firm in duty, cheer
tul in disposition, fervent in pioty and
Astounding in hope and charity, he was
our exemplar. His laborious life was a
constant lesson in Christian conduct and a
constant display of the excellcncies of
Christian character.
ReSolred, That VIC will remember our
departed father in the ministry, as dis
tinguishcd and eminent divine, an accom-
plished and thoroughly trained scholar, a
faithful and beloved pastor who comforted
and enlightened the poor by his sacred
and untiring ministrations, both in his ma
tive country and in this country of his
adoption. He is tenderly remembered at
many desolate firesdes for his words of
comfort in their day of sorrow, as he Is
remembered at home where his presence
as father was spring of perpetual
joy.
Resolved, That with all who feel the
loss of our aged brother, we minge our
sympathies, looking for the consolation of
the "blesscd hope of the resurrection Of
the body and life everlasting"

FRUIT TREEs,-While passing through
Floral Hall at the Fair, we noticed nice
array Of apples, grown at B. Bryant's nur-
sersies in Derby, and exhibited by A. X.
Spaulding Of Morristown, the agent for
this county. The specimens comprised
many of the frst-class varieties, and dem
strated that the best Of all fruits-the
apple, can be grown in Vermont, even at
its extreme northern boundary. The sew
cral varieties of crab-apples, were especial
ly deserving of mention. All of the six
or seven kinds we tasted were found to
he quite toothsome. and excellent for pies.
That these can be raised successfully here
can be easily demonstrated by visiting
many gardens in this county, and We hope
the farmers will give them fair trial.
Mr.. Alonzo Cobleigh is associated with
Mr.. Spaulding in the sale of these trees
and is ready to receive orders.

pursuit. While he was too unseltish ana
disinierested to conciliate asy man, or
body of men, he had a most placable and
forgiving spirit.
He was man of courage. Wherever
he saw his duty, there he took his stand
regardless of consequences to himself
Whatever vice or sin was to be rebuked,
or whatever form of evi-doing was to be
resisted--he was always ready to meet it
in the front rank, however powerful the
resistance, or opposition might be. The
history of his anti-slavery efforts, if it
could be written out, would show his cour-
age in duty. The story of his labors in
the Temperance Reform, could it be told,
would show the bold and resuluto man.
He had a happy heart. When we look

bis late years; the visitations Of protract-
ed sickness and Of death, that came into
his family; the breaking up of his house.
hold, hallowed by so many prayers and so
much affection, and by so many joys and
griefs, it might be thought that man
under such allotments of life could not be
happy and cheerful. But that would be
very mistaken Judgment. Such man
carries the spring of happiness in himself.
Trusting in God, his ''faithis well-founded' y;
waiting to do Gods will, his house is set
in order. The good and gentle Master
gives him strength. Sorrow chastens
and enriches his soul with golden fruits
When he passes through the waters they
do not overflow him; for God is with
him.
Mr. Gleod was always bright and radi.
ant with good cheer; he was a happy man
In the wilderness of Canada, poor mis-
sionary; in the rural towns of Vermont,
among the feeble churches with no reward
but poverty and neglect, he was happy
man. In distress and trouble his heart
was full of cheerful enterprise. And at
ter devoting the best culture, and the no.
best intellectual wealth to the great work
of his life-preaching the gospel TO the
poor-he came to old age with an indy
ing cheerfulness, and sweet hope in the
mercy and goodness Of his God.

from Genoa to Montevideo, with 12S passen-

when abreast of Rio de JaneirO, the Adele

distance astern, and at once went to her as

"The spectacle presented by the burning ship

Napoleon Ill. has an extraordinary memo
ry for names, figures, faces, and miscellaneous
facts. A German professor, who was called
to Paris in connection with the publication
OF the "Vie de Caesar" relates that it was
Napoleon's iuvariable habit, on having COM
municated to him a name or number, or
any brief fact which he wished to remember,
to write 1t down in a notebook kept exclu-
siveiy for this purpose, and which always lay
upon his desk. After writing down the mem
orandum, he would tear the Leaf out of the
book, read 1t over once attentvely, and then
tear the leaf up. And he told the professor
that alter impressng a fact on his mind BY
this process, he never forgot it. Tue key to
this extraordinary facility OF memory. doubt
iess lies in the fact that, during his long years
OF imprisonment, in early lite, he did not dare
10 carry important memoranda about him.
He was obliged to rely on bis memory; but
that he die not at first trust it altogether is
seen bv the fact that. through the force Of
habit, he is still obliged to make sure OF fact
by writing it down, and so fixing it in his
mind, Instead of trusting entirely to the sense
of bearing to act upon his mem ,ry. The first
Napoleon w9s also remarkable for his wonder
full capacity in remembering figures.
