DIOCESE OF ALBANY.-It may interest
the friends of st. Luke's parish, Cam
bridge, to know that it is yet alive, and
has enjoyed another "Merry Christmas"
The services at church, which was nicely
decorated, were unusually we'll attended !;
and since Advent began, weekly evening
services with brief lectures have been
held, besides the Guild meetings, at pri-
vate houses. One object of these latter
services is to get the ear of Indifferent
people in their several localities, as to
their religious welfare, and to induce
them to attend regular services at church.
On the evening of the Monday after
Christmas (St. Stephens day. the annual
Parish and Children's gathering was held
at the rector's residence. The occasion
was pre-eminently social, being attended
by goodly number of pensioners and
others, who lef: behind donations for the
rector and his family, while the ladies
provided most tempting refreshments for
all. The numerous children, who were
brought and returned by special con-
veyance, enjoyed their games and de-
lighted all with their carols. We were
unable to give them 'tree," this year
but, to our great relief, their presents of
Bibles and prayer books came from the
Albany and New York Societies, and also
other fitting books from Mrs. Clarence
Buel, of Sing Sing, N. Y, the wife of our
first and beloved rector. may here say,
that, in memory of their dear child, here
translated, Sunday School class, bearing
her name, and composed of young girls,
has been kept up; while an exquisite
font, the gift of parental love, perpetuates
the same holy memory, with that of for
mer happy relations of pastor and people.
On Christmas morning, the long de-
sired presents of very nice chair and
prayer book were unexpectedly made, for
the use of the lady who is our devoted
and Woodworking organist.

EAST WALLINGFoRD.-Th principal
game played in our village the past season
is known by the name of Croquet. Here
our champions assemble almost daily to
witness the wonderful feats performed by
their brother champions. The ground
used, to be sure, is Just in the outskirts of
the village, but according to natures laws
it is disgusting to see those poor, lazy,
idle, good for nothing loafers, who assem-
bic daily not only from the village, but
come two or three miles from the farm,
they say for their health. Old Winter
with his frosts and SHOWS seems to do but
little in checking the game. This knowI-
edge of Croquet playing was not bestow-
ed by nature but was gained by steady,
earnest efforts during our long days OF
summer This is our earnest desire that
the class may have vacation during the
next three months
We had the pleasure of listening to
a very interesting and instructive lecture
given by Rev. Mr.. Gushing, Grand Secre-
tary of the Good Templars of the State. on
Monday evening. The Church was not
crowded but there was a sufficient num-
Der to say Where two or three are as.
sembled etc"
The farmers have again resumed
their winters work, replenishing our
mill yard with logs, and our wood yards
with wood. Although the sleighing is
not the best, yet their motto "seize upon
the present opportunity" makes the BUSH
ness quite active.

and illusive region. think the most
beautiful spot on the river is at the foot
of Lake Pepin. where numerous wealthy
families from st. Louis and Southern
cities have erected summer residences.
There is nothing remaining in my memory
so connected with romantic thoughts, as
the remembrance Of the steamer North
Western as she sailed from Lake Pepin
in among the mountains on that July
evening last summer. The romance was
highly colored, and increased by strains
of music from the steamboats, string band.
Let your readers imagine themselves at
twilight, seated upon the deck of a Mis-
sissippi steamer, overshadowed upon each
side by tall mountains, surrounded upon
every side by wild and imposing scenery,
the falling shades of night clothing every
thing with sombre and almost unearth-
ly appearance, sweet strains OF music
lulling their senses into dreamy and de-
licious state of existence or non-existence.
Let them imagine all this and they will
know how / felt, as we left Lake Pepin
on our way down the river.
But am occupying too much space;
so will conclude by saying, that after
passing Winona, Prairie Du CHEN, La
Gross and other cities, we finally arrived
at Dubuque, where we left the steamer,
and shortly after arrived in Chicago, Chi
cago the Garden City," Chicago the
great, wonderful, wicked, conoeited city
of the West. think I cannot more apt
ly end this letter, and at the same time
"say my say" about Chicago, than by bor-
rowing and appending the following lines
of poetry:
have been to the North. l have been to the
South.
But in travelling man may far go,
To the Jumping-of place ere he will find,
town that will compare with Chicago.
If you never have altered your name in your
life,
Nor never did up to the bar go,
Or else run away with another mans wife.
They won't let you live in Chicago.
Some people send on by Adams EXPIRE ga,
And some put their faith in Fargo;
But if you must go to the ID direct,
You must enter your name 1T Chicago.
| They WON'T let clergyman live in the town.
| On such they have put an embargo,
Unless he make mutton OF all his young lambs,
And then he may stay in Chicago.
There the infants are fed on whisky direct,
For liquor they all to their Ma go:
And the muly cows give, as man might expect,
Nfiiis re''-nf in the town of Chicago.
Yet it cannot be said that then morals are bad,
Or that they too much below par go;
For the ID of moral, folks ever had
| Who live in the town of Chicsgo.
Oh! Sodom was "some," and Gomorrah was
"great."
And In Venice each mans an Iago
But the beautiful city that rakes them all down,
Is the elegant vile of Chicago.
Respectfully,
Your obdt. servant,
l.. W. REDINGToN.

A TEACHER TURNED OUT OF SCHOOL.
While passing through School District
No. - in the town of---in this
County I partially witnessed, and was
made acquainted with the particulars of
disgraceful affair, to happen jim these
days of Christianity and civilization. 1t
brought to mind old stories, of when the
sch00ln1aster " 80 expected - ID capable
of Jogging every large boy and girl in
school, or get logged, and turned out
himself by them, when brute law govern
ed instead of law and decency. The
school.house being situated on road
leading off the main one, few rods from
it on a side hill, is in plain view of travel
ers, and those being in the vicinity. My
attention was attracted by a noise, and
what appeared to be a scuffling going on
in front of the schoolhouse, and an &C.
casional cheering shout, from house on
the road below where quite number Of
men, women and children were gathered,
seemingly to witness the affray.
Two large boys aided by crew of small
Ter ones, were getting the better of a
young man, dragging him out, and
thruotins him down when they rushed
back into the house fastening the door up
L. - tLiS s0asO a man oIIi' CD,
whom I afterwards found was the COM
mittee) burst open the door, whereat the
children poured from the windows, and
marched down the hill shouting trium-
phantly: We've put him out !" "we've put
him out" Yes says one young Miss of
eight or ten years, 1--WE beat the breath all
out of his old body" and her sister
young lady of fifteen, dances and joins
with her in shouting; while the men rush
en- nlasSe from the halfway house, to
meet them, and with oaths and cheers
applauded their achievements. In talking
with the committee I learned they even
went to the schoolhouse, where the teach
er who had by this time recovered himself,
had again entered, and talked abu-
sively, both to him and the committee one
uaH says. Ou axe Aot2AHS UuL d JdCh-
ass, and shant teach in this schoolhouse )"
another says: you've been turned ou1,
now leave The teacher, a young man of
good repute, was hired, obtained his GER
tifcste of qualification, took his place
prepared to do his duty, while it seemed
that from some oause-imagined or other
wise-the parents encouraged the child
rem to insult and abuse him from the very
first, giving their names incorrectly, and
laughing when he called them, swearing
at him in school time, and when he pun
ished them, they left school. They had
all left the school previous to this day
and then went together to help put him
out. L must say Mr.. Editor, that L was
shocked at such barbarity and am thank
full that our law can meet and punish it.

little unpleasantness" took place in our
village, l have received from various
sources, both blessing and cursing."
From the victims of rum even, have | re-
ceived the cheering word and from many
of our best people congratulations and as.
surance. [ am glad to know that the
people OF Rutland are thinking on the
evils of intemperance with an Intelligent
intensity and calmness that betoken de-
termination to make vigorous warfare
on those who help to ruin souls for the love
of gain. I approve all the suggestions
which are contained in the following let
ter, evidently written by some lady,
though unknown to me, and will only
say in conclusion, that, hoping that many
others will work in this cause, that we
may do something to redeem this rum
cursed town. I, for one, have no back.
ward steps to take in the work, and no
regrets for those already taken.
Truly,
CHAs. WOODHOUsE.
RUTLAND, Jan. 2, 1871.
D7. W00dh0uSe- Sir Little do you
know with what interest the people of
Rutland are watching your movements,
for they feel that the cause of temperance
is in part in your hands, and though you
have wrought work in Rutland, Vt,
that of shutting up the public bars)
which the people will never cease to be
thankful for, yet much remains to be
done. You have stopped the dealing of
rum at the hotels, and they have been
obliged to submit to the laws of the State,
and now nothing remains but to push the
work through, not pausing at the public
houses, but carry it on to those under
ground dens of rum, and uproot business
which is a shame to our State and curse
to our people. Pause not here, but keep
on to those places which deal it out by
glass or gallon under the name of drug
store or provision stores. Once there
were Issued search warrants and all
liquors found were taken. Is that law
become dead, or is there no one that has
the courage, through the fear of private
injuries, to carry it on. Now is tie time
for you to use the power which is 10 your
hands and to bring about a successful
termination of this curse in our midst,
for when the rum sellers see that the peo-
pie in Rutland have awakened from their
slumber and have beheld to what An ex-
tent the rum traffic is being carried on,
and are bound to put a stop to it's sale,
then will rum dealers see how useless it
is to contend against the laws of the State,
and cease TO deal out that which ruins
the soul and body. But now that the
good work is begun let it not cease, but
carry it on till that which is dealt out to
ruin and destroy our people shall b swept
from our State. Then will our people re-
ioice, and our homes be made happy.

THE MORAL.

We cannot leave this melancholy affair
without a word of warning to parents,
guardians, and those entrusted with the
care of boys and young men, that they not
only use sleepless vigilance in respect to
iudicious and wholesome instruction, but
especially to see to it that their children
and wards are not allowed to spend their

THE CIRCLE WIDENING

New revelations are daily occurring.
showing most conclusively that the full
extent of this criminal combination has
not been ascertained. New parties are
likely to be implicated, and some of the
old ones more deeply involved. In this
connection, Pratt has again been sought
by the officers of justice, but the bird had
flown.

ACCESSORY PARTIES.

Those instrumental in bringing the
matter to the light of day, are fully salts
fed that there are parties in Whitehall
and Troy, of mature years, and some of
them of good standing in community,
who have been guilty participants in these
proceedings, and have melted these reck-
less boys in their nefarious work, by
means of hsrboring their persons, and se-
crsting and disposing of their ill-gotten
plumber. The demands of justice may
yet be reached in those cases.

THE FIRST STEPS OF JUSTICE.

On Friday last, at Montpelier, before
Justice Nelson Robinson, prosecutions
were preferred against Handlon by Hiram
Carleton, Esq, States Attorney, assisted
by M. Z. Smile, Esq, ex-State's Attorney
of the County. He was bound up in the
sum of $4,000, and in default of bail, was
committed to Jail. Pratt was put under
bonds in the sum of $500 in October last,
and increased on Friday, by reason of new
evidence, to $500. He was bailed by
his father in the first instance, and Col.
Randall in the latter. ST. Johns bonds
were fixed at 81 500. He was committed.
Slattery's bonds were set 1ast fall at $400,
which were furnished by Col. E. P. jew
