On the 18th inst. the annual reunion
of the Army of the Potomac was held at,
Boston, Mass. Gov. Fairchild of this
state delivered the address for the coca
sion. he recited briefly the history of
the war from the time of the firing upon
Sumpter until its close, and concluded as
follows:
1t is not in vain, comrades, that we
recount the story of the war. 1t cannot
be repeated too often, or d"et upon too
long. We, of this generation, must
treasure up its simplest incidents and give
them lasting record, not to glorify our
selves, but that our children may know
by how much sacrifice and suffering, at
home, and, alas, at what expense of price,
less lives in the field, their liberties have
been preserved to them, to the end that
the devotion to country which has exalted
and inspired the men and women of to
day may become an exhaustless we'll
spring of patriotism. Nor is it without
benefit that we meet together as society
at these annual re unions, not as proud
victors to boast OF our battles won, not
10 exalI ourselves, still less to exult over
brave but fallen foe. Our meetings
serve a noble end, mingling with one an
other. clasping hands, comrades endeared
by many common dangers, looking into
the familiar faces of our beloved chiefs,
we find renewed within ourselves in these
quiet days that tervent love of country
which swelled our hearts when dangers
were upon us. The waning fire is re-
kindled here, and before one another in the
presence of these living witnesses, and in
the presence of our noble dead we renew
cur vows of fidelity to our country; we
go hence baptised anew in her service, AZ
Jealous now in this blessed time of peace

were to uphold it during the gloom O

Fall of the Column Vendo-ne.

The Commune vandals have at last
crowned their outrageous conduct by an
act so Infamous as to deserve the con-
domination of all mankind. In their
mad fury the have completed the destruc-
ton of the famous Column Vendome-
one of the finest works and of Art Genius
in all France. 1t was destroyed on the
10th inst. A Paris dispatch gives a
brief description of the scene as fellows:
There was a tremendous scene at the
fall of the Column Vendome this after
noon. Tho fall was announced for two
o'clock, and all the balconies in the Place
Vendome were thronged with ladies'
The Rues de la Paix and Castiglione
were crowded. Three bands of music
arrived while the workmen were engaged
in chipping the base of the column. M.
Abode next arrived and inspected the
windlass. The excitement was intense.
M. Rocheford next appeared, and the
people crowded around him, giving him
loud cheers. Soon all arrangements
were completed, and the bugles sounded
as if column like the walls of Jericho
was to fall. From the blast the cables
stretched and tiehtened. The column
remained firm. The windlass broke and
the pulley few into the air-theu de-
scended, striking sailor and wouuding
him. After this NJ. Abode declared
that he needed two hours to repair the
tackle. The odds rose that the column
would not fall.
At a quarter past o'clock it was
given out that the column would not fall
before seven O'Clock. A general ex-
preston Of disapprobation went through
the crowd. M. Abode was accused of
completely with the Versaillaise govern
ment, aud threatened with the guillotine.
At twenty minutes past five the cable
was again stretched for the work of DEM
clifton. Suddenly, to the surprise of
the spectators, the vast column moved
and swayed. 1t next swept magificently
down, bursting into fragments as it struck
the earth. l. fell lengthwise in the Rue
de la Paix, exactly on the maneuvre
cushion prepared for it, sp!intering with
a dull heavy numbering sound, while a
thick cloud of dust, and crushed and
powdered masonry rose in the air. The
crowd, as soon as the column fell, gave
tremendous shouts OF 'Viye la Commune,
and bands played the Marssilles hymn.
When the dust cleared away the clay of
the glorious column appeared shattered
to pieces, its masonry in two masses, to-
gether in the middle, and the statue of
the Emperor several feet from the end of
fragments as relics, and the guards were
unable to resist the rush.
Next the orators commenced their
speeches, indulging in all sorts of extrav-
agaut language. The statue of the
Emperor was treated as if it was the
Emperor himself. The national guards
spat in it's face, and struck it with their
rifles. After the ceremonies were con-
cIuded the crowd dispersed, and the
soldiers moved off, waving their red flag
aud giving expression to their JOY by
continual shouting.

Some curious marriage statistics are
given in the Registration Report of the
state of Massachusetts for 1869. Seven
maidens were married at the age of Ia,
and forty one at Is, but the youngest
husband was l6 years old. One man of
80 chose for his sixth wife woman of
30--a risky thing for her. But wild
over of 80 ventured to Join himself to q
young widow Of 20, it being her fourth
marriage. One marriage is reported
where each party had previously been
married three times, but they were vii.
ling to try it again. A widower Of Sc

fifth marriage. The fourth marriage of
a man of IS was to a widow of 81, il
being her third venture.
