De PreSsense OH France.
BY REV. NARCIssE CYR.

No man is better qualified to speak on
France than Edmond de Pressense. He
is Partisan by birth as we'll as by edu-
cation, and, except four or five years spent
in Switzerland and Germany to study
theology, he has always lived in Paris.
For nearly twenty-five years he has been
one of the pastors of the first independent
evangelical church in the capitol, and I'M
questionably the first in talent and ipiu-
enced. He enjoys wide European repu-
tation as an eloquent preacher and an
able writer. His works, which number
some ten volumes already, have won for
for him two of the highest literary dis
tinctions degree of Doctor of Divin-
ity from the illustrious University Of
Breslau and valuable prize from the
National Institute of France, the greatest
literary body in the world. He is very
different from most of our American
d. D.'s; he never attaches the title to bis
name, thus setting good example, until
these Romish degrees, which are as in
compatible with our institutions as with
the Gospel, are entirely abolished
Mr.. De Pressense is not only great
preacher and the first theologian Of
France; he understands politics and is a
great republican. For the last seventeen
years he has published a monthly called
Reueu Christieaae, which treats of all SUBJ
jects from Christian point of view.

The Lafitte TTeasure-A Strange
Fatality and Remarkable R Remin-
iscences.

A few years ago Mr.. Andrew J. Newell,
quiet, gentlemanly printer, came to
New York from the south, and worked
for time on various morning papers as a
Sub" He was a man of more than or
dinary intelligence, and in addition to
the practical knowledge gained in the
composing room, he has had good class
ical education. Mr.. Newell had held
several positions Of trust, but his appetite
for stimulants being stronger than bis
will to resist, he lost them through neg
lecting his duties. After a short stay
in New York he shook hands with his
friends and bade them adieu, saying that
he was going to start for New Orleans.
His last words, dlivered in v.ry conf
Dental tone, were
"Boys, when l return I shall be in a
position to entertain you at good dinner
at Delmonico's."
The following remarkable story from
the New Orleans Picdyltne of the 9th,
throws light on what was passing through
Newell's mind when he bade good bye to
his fellow printers:
Andrew J. Newell, recently a compos-
itor in the PIcayV,1e Office, met his death
by violence, somewhere in Lake Pontchar-
train, about the first of the present month.
His body was found between Salt Bayou
and the Rigolets In his right breast
were two holes resembling gunshot
wounds. His pockets contained papers
that leave no room to doubt his identity.
He was in search of the pirate Laftte.
1t is generally believed that an almost in
caculable amount of wealth lies concealed
on one of the islands of the gulf. Specific
information of the whereabouts of this
treasure reached Mr.. Newell in a sort of
family tradition.
Many years ago, when a crusade was
being made by the Southern States
against the Lafitte crew, it is said that
five of the gang were captured near the
Rigolets-three men and two boys. The
men were executed at once, but owing to
the extreme youth of the boys, and the
statement that they were forced to join
Laftte's band, they were suffered to go
in peace. Years afterward, when be had
grown to mans estate, one OF the boys
obtained shelter under the roof of Mr.
Newelrs father, in st. Tammany parish,
where his mother still resides. He was
sick and toil-worn, and the family did
everything in their power to alleviate his
suferings. But he grew worse from day
to day, and fually died. Previous to his
death, however, he called Mrs. Newell to
his bedside, and saying that he had no
means to recompense her, still thought
it in his power to do her family service.
He then related to her the fact of his con-
nection with the pirates, all of whom but
himself were dead.
In one of the islands of the gulf they
had secreted their treasure. He knew
the place. and would give to her such
specific directions that 1t could certainly
be found. These directions were written
down and preserved with scrupulous care
BY the family. Evidently they put i'm
plicit faith in the statements of the dying
man-so much 80, indeed, that upon three

THE CONCERT OF THE RUTLAND
CHORAL SOCIETY. - The Middlebury
Register has the following notice of the
recent concert of the Rutland Choral
Society at that place
The Rutland Choral Society gave a
concert in Union Hall, on Thursday,
June goth. The weather was beautiful,
and there was good audience in attend
ance, in spite of the fact that the enter
tainment was not largely advertised. Mrs.
w. n. Oliver, soprano soloist and George
@. Day, tenore and humorist, and Mr.. s.
G. Moore ST Burlington, pianist, had pro-
minent parts in the entertainment. The
ohoruses under the direction of Mr.. Hum
phrey, gave great satisfaction to the audi
ence, arousing considerable enthusiasm,
at times, dur pg the rendering of those
fine old passages from Mozart and other
classical authors. The performers were
not dressed in costumes as was expected.
Mrs. divers singing was exquisite, and
charmed the entire audience who gave
frequent evidences of approval in repeated
encores and applause The effect of her
fine renderings was slightly marred by
the echo in the hall. Mr.. Day gave sever
al comic and sentimental songs with rare
tact and power and was several times en-
cored. Mr.. Moore executed an instru.
mental solo and the qualification OF the
audience was manifested in vociferous ap-
plause. A number of gentlemen and
ladies from Rutland, not connected with
the Choral Society, took this opportunity
to visit our town.

PLEASANT SURPRISE. On the after
noon of June Both, the members of the
Baptist church and congregation gath
cred at the parsonage, and after provid-
ing and partaking of social repast, Mr..
s. H. Kelley, in behalf of the friends
who contributed, presented to their pas
tor, Rev. E. Mills, birthday gift, con-
sisting of very nice and costly suit of
clothes and study-gown, which, to the
surprise and satisfaction all, were an ex-
act fit. The pastor, usually very free to
talk, made an unsuccessful attempt to ex.
press his thanks.
Mr.. Kelley then turned to Mrs. Mills
and presented her with sealed envelope
containing a suitable token of the esteem
and love of the people. This unexpected
favor was gratefully acknowledged for
her by her husband.
The gathering was one of those happy
occasions that tend to more firmly cement
the relations of pastor and people, and
especially do they encourage the toiling
servant of Christ.

occasions the father of Mr.. Newell start
ed in search of the place.
But there appears to be fatality about
it. In his first expedition the boat was
wrecked, and he and his companions bare.
ly escaped with their lives. The second
time he was only two days out when the
man he had with him fell sun stricken,
and returning home with him he died the
next day. The third time he himself
was taken violently i'll and had TO return.
The old man at this became superstitious.
He believed that some fatal impediment
prevented the discovery and guarded the
treasure. But he transmitted the secret
to his son, and for years young Newell
has been persistent in his desire to go to
the Rigolets in search of the wealth that
lies hid in the gulf.
His first attempt resulted in failure.
he afterward communicated his secret to
| friend, now connected with this office,
| first putting him under the obligations Of
an oath not to reveal ii, and to never at
tempt the discovery unless by his direc-
| tion or consent. Sc probable did the
| tradition appear to his friend, that &C.
compsnied by Mr.. Newell, he went in
search of the pirates wealth. But storm
came on. Their boat was dismasted and
the rigging torn and lost. After beating
about in the lake and gulf for ten days,
they returned disheartened. They did
not reach the island they were in search
of.
Since then Mr.. Newell has been per-
sistent in his determination to go again.
| He tried to persuade his friend to accom-
pany him, but the sad experience of his
first expedition had disabused it of its
novelty, and induced him from prosecut-
ing his search again.
Mr.. Newell went away in his own boat
recently purchased and fitted up for the
purpose. How he met his fate no one can
tell, but his sudden aud untimely death
gives room for speculation on the re-
msrkable fatality that has attended any
search for the treasure of Iaftte.

REsIGNED.-Mr. Leonard Read, who
in this village for the past fourteen years,
has resigned that position, on account of
the failing health of his father. Mr..
Read will take charge of the farm on
which his father resides at De Ramsay,
Province of Quebec, and took final leave
of Rutland for that place, yesterday
afternoon, accompanied by his wife.
During Mr.. Reads residence in thi.
place, he has gained many warm friends
by his prompt and efficient discharge of
the duties of his position, and his pni-
form courtesy and urbanity of manner
As legible, accurate and painstaking
telegrAphic operator, he has few equals.
The HERALD has been brought in
peculiarly intimate relations with
Mr.. Read by his frequent assumption of
the duties of night operator in receiving
the press dispatches, and the remarkable
correctness and legibility of his reports
have met the warmest appreciation of all
connected with this journal. He received
the first telegraphic report that was pub
lished in the daily HERALD on its estab-
lshment. and has ever manifested a sim
cere loyalty to its interests, and taken
pride in it's advancement. The conductors
of this paper have been indebted TO Mr..
Read for innumerable favors, and feel an
especially deep regret in his resignation.
AS citizen be has enjoyed the confidence
and respect of the entire community for
his sterling qualities of character, and in
his departure our village has lost one of
its truly useful and estimable citizens.
Mr.. e. G.. Mason, who has been an
operator in the telegraph Office, with q
short interruption, for the past seven
years, has accepted the position of mana
ger. Mr.. Mason has proved bis competen-
cy for the position by bis efficient and
faithful discharge of the subordinate
duties of the effice and in his new position
will undoubtedly give entire satisfaction.

we close our notice, is sample:
ResolUed, That it will be one of the
aims of the Congress to correct public
opinion concerning the dignity of the
music teachers vocation, and to lead the
world to see what is undoubtedly true,
that the work of the teacher of music,
having to do as it has, with the immortal
part of mans nature, and developing
powers which will be employed through
out eternity in rendering praise to the
mighty God, the everlasting Father, the
Prince of Peace-is only second in dig
