to be followed by the absorbing
labors of Spring we are wait

a law which the Legislative wis
dom Of 1856 thought was ample

Campbell, Messrs. Cheney and Perkins
made fine point. A quartette, "Sweet
and Low, "was well rendered and received.
Then came the hymn anthem, "Come ye
that Love the Lord )" solo by Miss Camp
bell. A three part song for female voices,
"Evening Hymn" was well received,
when Mr.. Cheney favored the audience
with a song, "Sweet Love, Good Night" "
by Misses Campbell and Thompson, and
Messrs. Perkins and Cheney, was well
received, and the happy manner of its an
rouacement by Mr.. Perkins, pleased the
entire audience. The closing piece, "Hal-

considering the size of the class and the
time spent upon it, and Is always grand

been crowned with success. .s-I

CAUGHT AT IT.-A day or two since
one of our coal merchonts in \. I. city.
sent his men to put in the usnsl Water
supply of anthracite into the house oil
gentleman down town. The coal
was put into the cellar; and the LADY
of the house, having her eyes open,
thought the men as they delivered it re-
msined down stairs much longer than
there was any necessity for. When the
frat load was deposited aud the men
drove off to get another, she thought she
would go down and exsmin the status OF
things in the cellar. a little lnyesuga-
ton revealed to her frugal mind that
Jar of favorite preserves had been opened
and its contents nearly devoured- When
the men came back the lady had conceal
ed her self in the cellar. Presently they
went for the jar again, and the lady
" went for" them. Being a strong and
powerful woman she did nsr hesitate to
" tackle" one of the men, and in twink
ling of an eye he found himself mopping
M the floor Of the cellar. The man
S0uirmed, bat the lady held him with q
hand firm as q wise, and having mis- mouth
fall of the sweet meets he concluded the
best thing TO DO was to yield gracefully
and acknowledge the corn, which he did.
offering TO pay for the preserves. The
lady then suffered him to rise and COM
plete the delivery of the coal. In describ-
ing his sensations to his companion, the
man was overheard to remark that he
got more "jam" than he bargained for,
and that while be was in the lady's pow
er he felt as if he was fooling around a
threshing machine.

HEERY WARD BEECHER ON THE RIOT.
Henry Ward BescLeT, in the Christian
Union this week, says: The Orange
societies should parade next year without
a banner less, and with no inscription
rubbed out They should not DO it as an
implied promise that if protected for once
they will then DO it no more. They
ought to move through the streets of New
York until nobody thinks of molesting
them. When that time arrives it will be
a matter of 10 public Importance whether
the annual procession Is kept up or not;
but so long as a dog wags his tongue
against an Oraugemen's procession, or
bewildered magistrate forgets his duty
toward them, the public good requires
their continuance. If the Orangemen of
New York fail next year to march
through the streets of the city they will
betray a sacred duty. By accident they
have become the representative of prin-
cipie which lies at the foundation OF
modern civilization. They do not just
now represent spent fact in history, but
living principle; it is not the battle OF
the Boyne in ireland, but question OF
liberty in New York"

A LONG BRANCH ELOPEMENT-He,
Mr.. France, of New York, is Gentle,
and she, Miss Sophie Pike, is Jewess-
or was. The two bad been courting and
cooling, riding, walking, and iudulging in
sweet nothings for many days, but the
lady's mamma regarded the affair simply
as a watering place romance and moth
ing more" But a few evenings ago,
while festivities enchained the attention
of their mutual friends, they withdrew to
a magistrate and were married. Mr..
France, with bis bride on his arm, march
ed into the hotel psrlor and introduced
his wife. "Mamma" screamed and faint
ed, everybody assumed the responsibility
of Interference, while friends of the bride
endeavored to rescue her by force. One
thoughtful old lady burst out into a
paroxysm of common sense, "Poor foolish
Sophie didn't she know that be only
married her for her money? She has
$4,000 in her own right, and he's a
Christian" But the "Christian" took bis
wife to his own apartments and started
next morning on a bridal tour to the
White Mountains. Mr. France is reported
to be wealthy; so money could hardly
have been his object. But the girl was
only seventeen, and man who robs
family in such stealthy fashion gives
very poor proof of his fitness TO make her
happy woman.

A GERMAN OPINION OF TAMMANY.
The democratic party OF the country
has it's headquarters in New York, from
whence the political wires are puller. At
its head stands a clique whose leaders,
Tweed and Sweeney, are notorious demo-
gogues in that city, and which, under the
sheltersof Gov. Hoffnso, has politically
corrupted not only the atty, but the State
The democratic party in the city and
county of New York is, in tact,' a pure
mobocracy (Pobelherrschaft). It's politi-
cal triumphs have been constantly gained
through fraudulent msjorities, and it has

10 BARNUM's GREAT SHow.-.An immense
crowd of persons visited Bsrnum's great
show Thursday. 1t is estimated that
over six thousand were present in the
afternoon and some thirty-fve hundred
in the evening.
While there was some difference of
opinion in reference TO some parts of the
entertainment, yet as whole, it may be
pronounced a great success and the great
eat combination Of performers and curios-
tiles that has ever visited Rutland. The
performances of the trained horses, their
riders, and athletes were of the first order,
and the wonders of nature and art were
peculiarly attractive and interesting, and
the only thing wanting to render it the
complete and perfect exhibition it should
be, are more ample preparations for thu
4 preservation of order and more adequate
arrangements for the seating Of the peo
pie.

PoULTNEY.-The first concert of the
Normal Music School, under the direction
of Prof W. 0. Perkins, was given at JOS
Inns Hall, Wednesday evening, August
9th, to a much larger audience than was
expected, which was exceedingly gratify-
ing TO the friends of the school, as it as
aured them that their efforts TO elevate the
standard of musical taste and culture have
been appreciated and justly rewarded by
a liberal patronage. We predict as the
result of this success large additions to the
several classes, and also a still greater sue
cess at the closing concert, Friday even
ing, Aug. 25th. The programme given
was quite lengthy, but we'll selected, and
when so many good things are presented,
il is almost impossible to tell of which to
make special mention The concert opened
with a chorus entitled "Lo, He Cometh, y
followed by a male semi-chorus entitled

MUsIC.-A musical composer of Paris
was obliged recently, in the hurry of his
departure, to leave the unfinished score
of composition behind. When the war
was over, he returned with intense anxiety
for the fate OF his precious manuscript.
ONLY one wall of his house was standing,
but high up in it's side could be seen the
cupboard, with it's key still projecting
from the lock, in which were deposited
the valuable papers. A ladder was pro-
cured, the impatient composer ascended,
and took out his treasure safe and sound.
What was his establishment to find 1T not
only complete but completed, the COM

A SPECIFIC CAsE-The Journal Of
Commerce calls attention to the fact that
the revelations" have at last developed
a speoifc case for the grand jury. The
Tribune charged, a few days ago, that
man having $4,000 owing to him by the
city. was told by somebody in authority
that he must make out bill for S64 600
if he vented to touch his money, and that
he acted upon the iutimation. Other pa
pers, notably the World, demanded the
mans name, and the Tribune gave ii, with
his business address. The Journal OF
Commerce now calls upon the grand jury
To probe this affair to the bottom. Ii the
facts are az alleged, misdemehnor has
been committed, which is punishable un-
der the statutes "by imprisonment IN the
county Jail not exceeding one year, or oy
a fine not exceeding two hundred and t1t'
ty dollars, or ky both such fine and i'm
nrisonment." The court may also at lti
discretion, infiot thirty days solitary con
finement. The Journal says: "1he pub

A LIQUOR Row.-There were lively
times in Lowell, Thursday, over seizure
by three state constables of 100 gallons OF

dealer. As the liqnsr was being removed

city, made an attack upon the officers,
and one Michael Pendergast struck Officer
Souther, of Charlestown, severe cut on
the temple with an iron stem OF hoe,
for which be got part of his dues from
another constable in the shape Of ball
in his right breast, the shot, unfortunate
ly not proving fatal one. Mr.. Souther
was unconscious for an hour, but is proba'
