The Governors Message.

The first part of the Governors Message ii devoted to national politics. While MT English does not propose to nullify the Fifteenth Amendment because he does not approve of the mode of its adoption, he does undertake to throw doubt over the right ofAnegroes to vote here except upon change of our State Constitution. In short, he desires Constitutional Conven. ton, and threatens practical non-recogni- ton of the Fifteenth Amendment, unless such convention is called. As we have before slated, we are ourselves in favor oi .such Convention, but we cannot but consider the Governors threat as some thing more than idle; it is calculated to prejudice Republicans against the move- ment. The Fifteenth Amendment is now "t the supreme law of the land," "any- thing in the constitution or laws of any state, to the contrary notwithstanding. |" The word "white" is as effectually strick- .en from the 9th Article of the Amend ments of our Constitution, as State Con- stitutional Constitutional Convention could do it. If any legislation is needed, en. forcing this change, it is the duty of Con- gress, not of State legislatures or Conven- tions.
 Governor English pronounces the fnan- ces of the State to be in the highest de- gree encouraging. The total liabilities of the State have been reduced from 7.155,- 525 to $6, 727, ,4O6. and the grand list of the State has increased about ten millions dur ing the past year.
 The Governor wisely advises an increase of the bonds required of the State treas urer and of his chief clerk.
 The state of our humane institutions seems to be all that is desirable. The Mid dletown Insane Asylum strikes for large appropriation as usual. The Industrial School for Girls has a handsome start; 0.0O0 private subscriptions, handsome donation of land, and $10,OOO from the State, have enabled the trustees to erect buildings which will accommodate 70 in- mates, and places the institution on "per- manent and substantial foundation 'A A thorough revision of the divorce law is recommended.
 | The Governor speaks in the most enthu- siastic terms of the workings of the free school law, and says that " We may safely challenge comparison with any State in the Union, in the successful working of present School System.'
 The Governor closes with.an earnest re- commendation of economy, and pays @ tribute to the memory of the late Chief Justice Hinman.
 ! The business portion of the document is excellent, and in marked contrast with 3 the bad taste of the opening paragraphs.

MORRIS.

On Friday night last, the premises of Mr. Horatio Benton were invaded by @ party of rowdies who were returning from spree in Litchfeld. After bawling out the most abusive language, demanding something to drink, &c., for considerable time, they started off towards Mir. Benton s barn. Thereupon Dr. Deming, Mir. Ber- ton and two hired men, went after them, MT. B. carrying lantern. The fellows then turned back and one of them kicked the lantern out of Mir. Benton's hand, and gave him a blow in the face iprobably with a stone) which laid him senseless. A scrimmage followed in which the scoun- drels got decidedly the worst of it, and ran of, leaving two hats and trottlng sulky behind. Mir. Benton was severely injured his face being partially paralyzed. A war rant was procured against Charles Curtiss, Russell Curtiss and Chas. Buel. The two latter were arrested, brought before Justice Newton Smith who put them under $1OO bonds for their appearance on an adjourn ment till Monday next.

The evident concern of tba aa;tor If

= The evident concern of the editor of the Sentinel regarding the sudden and un- accountable dropping off of the bachelors of this vicinity, reminds us of poem in our almanac, the last two lines of which we are inclined to believe prophetic. Af- ter narratipg with Homeric simplicity the different ways in which ten youthful Abori- igines, standing in line. were withdrawn from society, the poet describes the fate of the Last of the Mohicans in the following awful colplet:-
 "One little Injun livin' all alone,
 He got married, then there ,nere none."
 A queer annoyance occurred at the wedding in this place, Tuesday. The parties and parson were ready, but no cer- tificate could be obtained, all the officials who could give such document being out of town. Postponement was out of the question, so MT. R. Smith was hurried off in one direction. and somebody else in an- other, quorum of the board of selectmen was got together, and new assistant Town Clerk appointed, who issued certificate, and the ceremony went on.

Night Scenes in the Bible.

Jerusalem and the sea ofGailee, have each.

glory of the omnipotcnt Jehovah.

The style in which it is published eXcels
anything it has been our privilege to eX-
anime. The steel cngravlngs by the first
artists Oft country are perfect "2ems OF
art" We have space to describe but two
of them. The first is THE Night Watch
in Mount SER" Beside one of the noun
tain passes, with grand peaks towering,
crag upon crag. on either side, stands the
watch-tower. with its solitary Waterman.
Just through the pass can be seen the
first bright strcaks of approaching dawn.
At the foot of the pass. wholly shaded by
the OverIanging crags. Il party Of travel
ers are cncamped They cry out to the
Waterman: "Watchman, what of the
night" and down through the pass comes
revcrberating that cheering cry: THE

down the ages to the time when the long
lOOked-for morning had come, and the Son
Of righteousness had arisen with healing
in His beams. Before us is II lone noun

its uncusIlioned rock. The pale NOON

that no one can fail to be benefited. both
by these truthful and impressive pictures.
