MONTREAL, ?. @, Aug. 10Th, 1871.
Editor Rutland Herald There ar
several facts in regard to travel and tn
descriptions given of it by different cor
respondents, only vcry few OF which
can stop to notice. The biggest fact o
the lot is the volume or amount OF travel
ing done. Go where you may, from The
Cum berland to Cape Horn, or from Hall
fax to Oregon, it seems as though all ere
alton had turned cut on a grand txGur.
sion, all bound to every conceivable point
of the compass. each intent upon reach
ing his or her destination in the quickest
possible epace Of time, with the least pos
sible regard to the rights or comfort Of
his fellow traveller. If one stops a no.
ment to reflect upon il, it seems almost
like mania that go many people should
leave homes of comfort and luxury, to be
broiled and smoked in railway cars, and
steamed and stifed on crowded steamers,
with no provision for comfort or susie
nance, save the uncertain reliance upon
hotel clerks and their still more uncertain
comforts and accommodations. Though
these are facts, and the excursionist of
yesterday returns to his home 10 find the
peace and comforts which he vainly
sought abroad, their places are again
filled. to-day by his nei9hbors, as much in
fatuated as those who went before
Though this is all true, presume that
this constant change is necessary and ben
efcial. AS growing out of this matter of
travel, one will notice the various descrip-,
tons of travellers, of things seen and en-
dyed. Travelling seems TO have won
derfully exhilerating effect, for what
would be the most commonplace things
If at our own doors, are, if seen abroad,
objects Of wonder aud admiration, and
visitors describing scenes away from home,
almost, if not quite, long for supplement
tary edition of the dictionary to find Ian
guage to express their ecstaoy. This effect
may be the best argument in faver of the
excursion to which l before alluded. But
have written a good deal before l com
mence my letter, 10 which I only intend
to give few of my impressions of the
things seen, in short visit from Kings

visited by tens OF thousands of Ameri-
FANS, and the public are already familiar
With their history. The distance from

HUNGARY.-A shocking narrative Of
devastation, suffering and misery, comes
from Southern Hungary. BY neglect and
bad management, dikes have broken and

been destroyed by hail storms of such
severity as to ruin whey yards and orchards.
To add to the misfortunes of the afflicted
people, the authorities are Selling the cat
tie for arrears of taxes. Agriculture is
ruined, industry paralyzed and trade van

that the powers at Pesth and Vienna sre

their tax gatherers and that they will not
make all haste to alleviate the sufferinas
of their sorely stricken subjects.

FIRE AT ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS one
o'clock yesterday morning the house and
barns of Mr.. John A. Hammond, situated
about two miles south of Middlebury
were discovered to be on fire. The flames
progressed with great rapidity, and in
about two hours the buildings were total
ly consumed. The barns and sheds were
filled with hay and grain, which was en-
tirely destroyed. Part of the furniture
in the house was saved.
The lost is about $2,500 on which there
is an insurance of $1,000 in the Farmers
Mutualof Vermont. The fire was I'M
doubtedly the work of an incendiary. A
boy about fifteen or sixteen years of age
has been arrested on suspicion of firing
the buildings, circumstances being very
strong against him. The loss falls severe
ly on Mr.. Hammond, who is worthy
and industrious man, and he has the SYM
pathy of the community in his misfortune.

STILL ONWARD AND UPWARD.
The extraordinary increase that has taken
pace in the sale Of Hostetter's stomach BitteTs
during the past year. is another proof that an in
telligent people, although they may try all
t ms, bod fast only to that which Is go7d. No
amount Of pufsry N lift isfsrior articles &c the
Pc it'on Of Standard specifics. To use the words
of Tom Paine, they may go up lise a rocket, but
are sureoto come down ANONYMOUSLY like its eK-
suishei stick. Hundreds of such nostrums
have gone up and come down since the iutro5uc-
ton Of HOste.ter's Stomach Bltters, nearly the
fifth of a century ago. Yet it still remains the
supreme tonic of the age. 1t has not, and never
has had rival in efficacy or popularity, and now
stands at the head Of all proprietary remedies
Manufactured on this side of the Atlantic. In
every civilized community on this continent, or
in South America, it Is the accepted remedy foT
dyspepsia, bilious complaints, constipation, gen
eral d, bility, nervous weakness, and many other
unpleasant or dangerous maladies. a medicine
so widely extended is Of course pirated and I'M
tated by aalers without conscience or integrity.
Therefore. let every man and woman who de-
signs to purchase the genuine Hostetter's stom-
ach Bitters, see to it that they have whs: they
pay for, and not the results of an Infamous in-'
posture. Look carefully at lstal, st.typ. ard
name blown in the glass, and do not FORGET lat
the true bitters is sold in bottles only.

EXTRAORDINARILY IMMIGRATIoN -

EXTRAORDINARY IMMIGRATIoN,--
Still they come" from the Old World to
the New. Immigration has been very
large this summer, and now, at the time
of the year when there is usually some
falling off, the tide appears to be swelling.
On Sunday there arrived at New York
about two thousand immigrants, and
Monday several large steamers came
freighted with augmenting numbers. At
this rate our population and industrial
development are likely to increase beyond
all anticipations

ALMOST A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.-Owi
to the railroad accident near st. Adams
Monday night, delaying the Boston train
via Rutland until nearly morning, the up
mixed train, A. J. Cutting, conductor,
due here at a. m. from Bellows Falls,
Tuesday morning, was held until its ar
rival there, which made it nearly an hour
late. Two section men at Rockingham,
supposing the mixed train had passed, put
hand.car upon the track at civilians
Rock" and started for Rockingham, but
had not proceeded far before they were
startled by hearing the train approaching,
and endeavored to get the car off the
track by running it to a crossing near by,
supposing they would have time. The
swiftly approaching train, however, did
not allow of this movement, and Selling
coats and hats the men jumped from the
car Just in time to see it struck by the
engine MT Holly" and smashed into a
perfect wreck The engineer, Augustus
johnson, saw the car only short distance
off, and wbistling for clown brakes"
stopped down before the boiler, probably
just in time to escape instant death, for
cog wheel flew from the hand-c4r when
struck by the locomotive, aud cume d.
rectly through the open window and
struck the top of the cab. The train did
not stop entirely, and suffered no materi-
al damage otherwise than the breaking of
a step and SCATTERING the glass of the
headlight. No blame could be attached
to any one, and we congratulate engineer
johnson on his escape from what might
have been serious accident.

REMARKABLE SURGICAL OPERATION
The Rev. DIR. Hartzell, who recently
preached in this place, was once the sub
ject of very remarkable and dangerous
surgical operation. He was but twelve
years of age. A bone cancer appeared on
his chin. OF twenty-three surgeons and
physicians who examined, but one gave
hope of arresting it's probable fatal pro.
gress. The advice of that one was fol-
lowed. His entire under jaw on both
sides of his face was taken out and a
silver one inserted. For two years follow
ing he could not speak word, and when
he finally recovered, had 30 articulate
again. He is now one Of the finest speak
ers among pulpit orators and ranks
among the distinguished clergymen of
his denomination.-Be9l0 Fails Times.

Six O'Clock in the Morning.
ITO the author of "Six O'Clock P. MI
BY MRS. A. E. STANLEY.

The sun is laughing Ger the hills,
At six o'clock in the morning;
The meadow lark her sweet song trills,
At ak O'Clock in the morning:
The grass is spapgled DER with dew,
The young day looks so fresh and new,
And nature beckons me and you,
At six O'Clock in the morning.
The farmers boys are vide awake,
at six o'clock In the morning;
And in the field with seythe and rake,
At six o'clock in the morning:
The farmers household, old and young,
Are up to see the rising sun,
All hands their labors have begun,
At six o'clock in the morning.
The sunbeams gid the eastern skies.
At six o'clock in the morning
The morning glory opes its eyes,
At SIX o'clock in the mo rning,
Nature drinks in her sweet supplies,
And all is bright beneath the skies,
And songs of thankfulness arise
At six o'clock in the morning.
There's merry sound of little feet,
At six o'clock in the morning;
And rosebud lips they taste 80 sweet,
At six o'clock in the morning:
Dear little pets, In night-gowns white,
Come down the stairs with eyes so bright,
And kiss mamma with great delight,
At six o'clock in the morning.
The housewife spreads her linen white,
At six O'Clock in the morning,
And the tempting breakfast greets our sigh
At six o'clock in the morning:
Beautiful rolls Of splendid bake
Coffee and cream, and nice brown steak
These have relish, no mistakei
at six o'clock in the morning.
The sweetest hour in all the day,
Is six o'clock in the morning;
All things are merry, fresh and gay,
At SIX O'Clock in the morning:
BY all the powers that dwell above,
There is no hour fOl making love,
So aUitching swe ct, for making love,
As six O'Clock in the morning
So thought young Willie, DER the way,
At six o'clock in the morning.
He popped the question: so they say,
At SIX o'clock in fhe morning.
"My love, 10 you, I now confess,
Will you be mine bewitching Bess;"
And blushing Bessie answered yes"
At six o'clock In the morning,

THE LATE RAIN.-The violent rain OF
last Sunday appears to have caused some.
thing of freshet in some portions of the
State. The village of Moretown on Mad

rapid rise of that stream, and some of the
inhabitants were obliged to hastily vacate
the lower portion of their houses. The wa
ter in 1869 was about five feet higher
than at this time, but this rise was muoh
more sudden. The main damage was to the
farmers, many of whom had oats cut and
ready to gather, which were washed
away. The corn fields on the meadows
in Mad River valley were all under wa

The Governor and Jim Fisk.

The Bennington correspondent Of the
Free Press & Times disikes to have con.
troversy with the estimahle Governor OF
Vermont, Hon. John W. Steward, yet il
he is the endorser of the recent article in
the St. Adams Messenger, he must certain.
" be willing to listen TO us for moment
We accompanied the Governor to that
patriotic celebration. We noticed him on
the stand. We happened to be in front
of it when Col. Fisk was called on by the
crowd to speak. We noticed, perhaps, as
soon as any body, the sensible departure
of the Governor, Seth B. Hunt, the Presi-
dent of the meeting, Gen. VIM. F. Smith,
and other respectable gentlemen who de-
clined to enjoy Col. Fisk's oratory I'm
less we very much belle the Governor, he
most positively declined to utter word
at the celebration, if the Erie orator was
to be one of the speakers. We are of that
kidney that can see no bad taste in such
sterling man as our bright and honest
Governor declining to be associated with
such charlatan, fraud and mountebank,
as Jim Fiak;" and we don't believe the
