A PLEASANT OcCAsIoN.-On Tuesday
last son of George Hopkins, Esq. of
Rupert, was married TO Miss Mary Bebee,
by the Rev. Mr.. Gardiner In honor of
the occasion some twenty of the ladies
and gentlemen of that town accompanied
the party as far on their wedding tour as
Rutland. They arrived in the palace car
on Conductor Tolhurst's train, at rs, and
repaired to the Bates House, where dur
ing the evening they sat down to sump-
tuOus feast, such as the Bates House can
furnish. The table was filled with all
the delicacies of the season and every rare
Wand that could be procured was set be-
fore them. They enjoyed the feast with
great pleasure, and then devoted the
evening to social festivities The hours
passed happily away much TO the delight
of the guests of "mine host" Bates, who,
with all his attendants strived to outvie
each other in attention to the party All
left with most excellent opinion of the
Bates House and its courteous landlord.
1t was one of the most agreeable parties
of the season, and none perhaps that de-
parted in higher eommendation of the
Bates House. The newly married couple
proceeded from here on tour to Mon
treal.

GIEN's FAILs-DAsTARDLYO OUTRAGE
A WIDOW RORBED.-At y o'clock on
Saturday evening last two thieves entered
the residence of Mrs. Rising, a widow,
and robbed her of $50 in money. The
rufians entered a room where Mrs. Rising
was sitting and demanded her money.
She replied that she did not have any.
One of the thieves then clutched her by
the throat and held her until the other
had ransaoked the house. The $50 was
found in bureau drawer. portion of
it was pension money received the week
before, which, with what she had saved
from hard work during the summer, went
to make up the slender purse of fifty dol
lars-the whole being laid away to make
payment on a mortgage soon falling due
on her little home
ON Wednesday night last man at
tempted to enter several houses with a
view to robbery, but his attempts were
foiled. Among others he applied at the
house of Mrs. McGinnis at South Glen's
Falls, and swore that he would come in.
The courageous woman declared that if
he did she would brain him with an ak,
at the same time rousing little girl and
sending her to the neighbors. As assist
ance was about to come, the intruder ran
off. A lively chase ensued, but the man
escaped.
Saturday was a great day in the his
tory of Glen's Falls. In addition to the
robbery of Mrs. Rising q prize fight took
place between two men named Drolette
and Reynolds. The latter was drunk,
and, of course, fell an easy victim to his
antagonist. This does not conclude the
occurrences of Saturday. In the evening
Jack Meehan and James Bullard had
quarrel, which ended by Meehan draw
ing knife ON his adversary and inficting
FIVE different wounds, one of which Sc
vered the temporal artery. and another
cut deep into the right shoulder. The re-
mainder were not SO serious. The
wounded man lost large quantity of
blood, and it was feared he would bleed
to death before physician could be
called. The services of DR.. Chaplin were
secured, who applied ligatures to the
severed artery, and dressed the wounds.
The patient is now in hospital" doing as
well as could be expected under the cir.
cumstances. This will suffice as the
history of day for "quiet country vii
lege."

And claims the years last week of life.
The ruddy wine so rare to sip
In joyous laugh, and airy jest
Is born upon the glowing lip,
And wit hath wings from guest to guest;
Yet oft o'er all is overspread
The halo of sainted death,
And Inirth's gay chords fall out of tune -.
The glossy holly overhead ..."a
Emits the sweetest phantom breath r ,
Of roses culled in carly June! .r--T
The shadow Of great name lies
On pensive brows, in thoughtful eyes:
The memory of a great heart swells
Each bosom where his image dwells.

The sick, imprisoned, suffering, vile,
Had mighty champion in his tongue,
Nor sinned beyond his tender smile.

And keep his memory green in song!

where the work centuries since was left
of has been removed, and now no longer
remains to say: THE work had gone

A CURIOSITY SHoP,-Tbe Lowell police
recently stumbled on a veritable "ourios-
ity shop" in that city, where an old man
and his wife live in a tenement of two
rooms, packed from floor to ceiling with
old junk and rubbish, completely shutting
out light and air, and leaving barely
room enough to move about. The attic is
even more crowded than the room below,
and contains, probably, 1900 pairs OF old
boots and shoes, space being left only for
a bunk on the floor. The old man is orszy,

PERSONAL ExPLANATIoN.-Mr. Inger-
soil of Illinois made personal explana-

and in it made rough attack upon the
character of John II. Bryant, brother of
William Cullen Bryant of the New York
Fleming Post. He charged him with
being a defaulter to the government to
the amount of 100000. This charge
brought Mr.. Dawes to his feet, as we'll as
three or four of the Illinois representa-
tives, who one and all vouched for John
H. Bryant's integrity and good reputation.
1t turns ont upon investigation that he is
not q defaulter, but, like hundreds of
Gther collectors of internal revenue, Bry-
ants accounts are unsettled.

AUGUSTA, July 25th.

DEAR JOURNAL: As the cheated term" of
the season is now fully upon us, and as
thousands of the denizens of seathing hot cit
les are seeking some place where they may
with their families escape from the swelter-
ing heat and death-breeding atmosphere
which they must endure and suffer from at
home, will you allow me space in your col
umns to say a few words in favor of Augusta
as "just the place" adapted to theirwants? e
1nthe first place, perhaps there is no place
afiording better or more pleasant facilities of
communications with Boston, New York and
other southern and western cities. There
are the Eastern, Boston 6 Maine, Portland,
Saco Portsmouth, Portland Kennebec
railroads, over which three trains pass daily
between Boston and Augusta.
We noticed on Monday that twenty car
loads of cattle and sheep were shipped from
Augusta. They were fne animals, well fatted,
and will no doubt sch for a high price in mar
ket; and the money which they bring will
gladden. the hearts of the farmers who raised
them and afford a fine compensation to the tlro
ers and railroad companies for their services.
As Maine is mostly grazing, and is fast be-
coming one of the first stock raising states in
the Union, her inhabitants must fully appre
cate the advantage of her several lines of
railroads. to her general prosperity, especial
ly toher farming interests, and their important
aid in developing the various resources of
the State.
We are informed that the Portland g. Ken
nebec and Maine Central railroads are to be
consolidated, which nc doubt will be great
advantage to both Companies, while it will
facilitate and expedite the transportation of
freight from the northern and eastern parts of
the State to its destination, to southern and
western markets.
Then there is the steamer Star of the East,
which in connection with the steamer Clarion,
from Augusta to Gardiner, makes two trips
a week between Augusta and Boston.
In this connection the writer cannot refrain
from giving more than passing notice of the
last mentioned route.
The Star of the East is nearly new, of 1900
tons burthen, and of perfect model for swift
and safe sailing. Her saloons, state rooms and
births are furnished in a comfortable and ele-
giant style, and are kept neat and clean. Her
machinery is complete and is managed by
men who can make her s'walk the water like
a thing of life" Her commander, Captain
j. Collins, has long been known as an expe
rienced officer to the. travelling public, from
the Kennebec to Boston. The many objects
of interest as you sail out of Boston harbor
and up the valley of the Kennebec, are sufi-
cient to attract travellers to this route, which
has become so popular. When the traveller
arrives at Augusta, he cannot but be delight
ed. Time and space would not suffice to
name all the attractions which the place af-
fords. To be appreciated they must be seen.
All who. select Augusta as a summer resort
will never regret their choice. .VIAToR.
