We learn from the Telegraph that on Sun
day afternoon last Rev. DIR. Adams notified
his society at Brunswick, that he had received
a call to take charge of a new enterprise in the
building up of Congregational church in
Orange, New Jersey. This call was untire-
ly unsolicited by him. He had not felt at lib
erty to decline it, neither had he concluded to
accept it. He had asked leave of absence for
few weeks-it may be few months-mak-
ing arrangements to supply his pulpit during
his absence, when further light may be thrown
upon the question, he will communicate with
his people.

he has just left. As for his successor there
can be no doubt that he will distinguish him
self in his new position as he always has in
those that he has formerly held.

We gather at the homestead,
At the old familiar board,
\ happy band of brothers,
And OF loving sisters dear.
We come from far and from near,
With our merry children dear;
To greet our good old Father,
And our loving Christian Mother.
Both. we bless You, we may say,
On this sweetly solemn day;
Day Of days, Of seven foidn ray,
Your bright Golden Wedding day.
Not silver gifts nor golden,
Nor trinkets rare and olden;
But love and blessing bringing,
We come with JOY and singing.
Two vacant chairs here We see,
Yea, four We may even say;
Two are on the deep blue sea,
Two in the land of the free.
Fifty years ago, brief span,
Life's sweet journey you began;
With God you've walked hand in hand,
And talked OF the better land.
As you near the crystal shore,
OF the sea we're sailing DER;
May the Lord who's gone before,
Greet you from the crystal shore.
And your waiting, watching DER,
Land you to be toss'd no more,
Safe upon the Eternal Shore,
Landed to be toss'd no more.

Mr.. and Mrs. Eieazer Harlow of Wcstmin-
ster, West VT, the parents of our estimable
fellow citizen, DIR. II. NJ. Harlow of this city,
celebrated their Golden Wedding at their
home on the 3lst of January. The occasion
was a most pleasant one. Their children and
grand children, a noble company, some of
them from Il great distance, came to greet
their aged parents with tokens of affectionatc
regard, and to implore the divine benetlicton
upon them they are gently descending the
western declivity of life. The Bellows Falls
Times in speaking of the happy occasion, says ::
"The occasion was instructive, showing the
large influence of woman who never made a
speech in public, or voted in town meeting, or
sought any of the professions to increase her
influence never was cheered on the platform,
but always had in her humble but well-order-
ed home the cheer of happy voices and the
constant clapping Of little hands, and the clat-
ter of little feet" The highest style Of n
woman is christian mother; her home is her
little world-in it she is power. The oxer-
cises of the golden wedding were of the most
interesting character. DIR. Harlow was pres
ent; also Edwin Harlow, formerly of this city,
whom many of our citizens will remember.
The following original hymn was sung by
the happy circle of relatives:

1t is evidently the policy OF Bismarck to

VIII suffer more from . long war than the
French. King William has called out all the
men up to fOrty-fve years Of age. The reserve,
nrst and second sections, the Landwehr, and
even the bandsturm-civic guard for the
defense Of the strong piaces-have been
called to arms, aud 1t Il by this pressure Of
the nation that Prussia expects to attain

A complete disorganization of all the habitual

goes ON much as usual, as happened in this

French arms to sustain no crushing reverses,
the nation could sustain q war for a considera-

Before the acceptance of the proposals for
putting up lamp posts-inyited elsewhere in to-
days paper-would 1t not be well enough for
the proper authorities to ascertain conclusively
whether the point OF elevation at which the
light Is now required to be placed is not too
high. Recent experiments in other cities, and
also made to q limited extent here, show that
considerable light is lost, both the surface OF
the ground and at q point equal to or a little
above the average height OF q man, by putting
the gas jet as high as it is ordinarily placed;
and in Paris, conceded TO be the best lighted
city in the world, we are informed the light is
placed at point lees than six feet above the
pavement.
At any rate, the matter Is worth looking into
III the theory referred to above be correct, there
would be large gain to the city in the sd-
ditonal light thus secured, as well as q mate.

The SftuafiOu

While the tenor OF the advices from Europe
to-day does not afford any ground for supposinp
that the Prussians have received any positive
check In their invasion Of France, it is evident
that the French are in somewhat better spir;ts
than for some days. The late fighting has. at
least, not resulted in such disastrous reyerses to
The French arms they met at weissenbury
and Forbach. Dispatches to the New York TEL
e9rdm, given elsewhere, tell of terrible reverses
TO the French in the late fighting and a demon
allied retreat towards Chalons, but they are 50
vague and sensational in character as TO he An
psrently little more than guess work.
The situation seems to be about this. The
two armies French and Prussian) are on tbe
TWO roads to Paris. Napoleon is falling back
by the ordinary mail road from VI stz to Chalous
by way OF Nerdun, and the Prussians are pro-
ceedlng along the line Of the railroad from
Nancy to Chalons by way Of Toul, Commercy.
Bar-le-Duc, and Vitny. 1t Is not iuprobabie
that portion of the Prussian army NAV bs fol.
lowing Napoleon over the mail road to Cha,ons
RIA Nerdun. This is q macadamized road and
practicable for heavy guns. The French still
hoid Metz with strong garrison; and Stras
burg also, As will be seen from the fact that the
garrison of the latter was able to make yigor.
Gus sortie.
The opinion is expressed by the London r,u.s
to-day that the lighting at Metz was disastrous
to the French, and that another reverse to them
at Chalons will make proper An offer OF media
ton by England. 1t Is also believed in London
that the French troops went into action in q
starving condition in the late fighting This
seems scarcely credible in view of the fact that
Metz is on two lines Of railroad communicating
with Paris, besides the mail road via yerdun.
and there would seem to be no reason why the
supplies should not be abundant for the use of
the army, unless through some terrible blunder-
ing and inefhciency in the commissary depart
ment.
1t would seem now that no heavy fighting NAV
be expected until the Prussians come up with
the French at Chalons.
LATER.-At last we have something in the
shape OF official dispatches from the French
army. Napoleon claims that after bril-
liant combat Sunday night" two divisions of
the Prussians sought to intercept the French
" march" and were repulsed. 1t will be seen
that he avoids the dissgreeable word "retrest,"
using the word 4" march" in lieu thereof
But he re-asserts that the Prussians were re-
pulsed. and he seems to intimate by the use of
the word brilliant" in regard to the fighting
OF Sunday, that the French had no reason to be
ashamed Of it. He also says that he is or
ganizing large forces at Chalons, and that
the main body Of the French army Is at
Etain, twelve miles northeast of verdup.
The fact that he still assumes to be commander
in-chief is here indicated and may serve to
cause fresh disquiet in Paris. The new French
line of the Meuse would seem to extend from a
point few miles north OF yerdun to Neuf-
chateau, south Of the fortress Of Toul.
