Fourth of July at Mt. Holly.

MT. HOLLY, July 9th, 1871.
Editor Rutland Herald Il would not
have our Fourth of July pass by without
contributing to your columns the praise
worthy manner in which we celebrated.
There was a festival at the farmhouse
of D. Horton, which proved a joyful oc-
oasion to all present, both young and old.
The table was loaded with all the deli
cacies of the season. After appropriate
remarks by W. Lord, J. Crowley. L. Col
burn and others, we repaired to the table
where the worthy hostess might have felt
greatly complimented by the hasty man
ner in which the rich repast disappeared,
at least, great credit is due to the guests
for good appetites. The supper being dis
pensed with we all repaired TO the GRO
uuet ground where there was a very ex-
citing game carried on between several of
the party, VIM. Marsh, of Clarendon, be-
ing the successful competitor. The game
ended approaching night warned US of
the lateness of the hour, and brought
vivid recollections of distant homes, for
which we all soon started. All felt
much pleased with our afternoon enter
tainment, and we were led to exclaim,
"Long live our worthy friend Horton and
his amiable lady" A GUEST.

POULTNEY.-Our town was not wholly
drained of its population on the Fourth OF
July. We were little vexed to see so
many taking the train in the morning for
Rutland and other places, but the juven.
lies were left, who kept every corner
swapping with fire crackers during the
entire day. The Poultney House was
full throughout the day and the festivi-
ties ended with splendid ball in the even
ing, with hundred and six couples pres.
ent. Every thing passed eff pleasantly,
as we are informed and believe. The
Jonesville band were at the Poultney
House in the afternoon and evening, and
discoursed very good music as they are
wont to do. This hotel is doing a very
good BUSINESS and is we'll kept. There
are several summer boarders there and
more are expected.
We have been told that the day was
sbserved in a very happy manner at the
Eagle Ledge in POultney. We have
not learned the particulars, but if L. B.
Goss undertook a celebration it would not
be failure.
A fire occurred in the east part of Poult-
ney on the evening of the fourth. A shop
occupied by the Maranvilles as a pail fac
tory, was entirely destroyed. The origin
of the fire ia not known. 1t occurred
late in the night; no fire had been recent
ly kept in the building. b.

SMOKE In MOUNT CENs1s Tunnel

SMOKE IL MOUNT CENsIs TUNNEL
How ABOUT THE HoosIC BORE.-We
find the following interesting and sugges-
tive paragraph in the Boston AdUerttseT'
A French paper publishes startling
report that although the Mount Censis
tunnel has been pierced and locomotives
have passed through ii, there is still
some doubt as to its being opened to
travel for some time to come. The
trouble is in the ventilation. The smoke
evolved from the locomotives is not driven
out Out of three engine drivers who
were employed on the trial trip through
the tunnel, two died of suffocstion, and
the third was restored to life with great
difficulty. The temperature of the inter-
or is very high. The efforts to improve
the ventilation of the tunnel are continu-
ing, and understanding engines have
been ordered from England TO remove the
difficulty arising from the cause. These
facts are of not little interest TO us,ss we
may have somewhat similar problems con-
fronting us when the Hoosac tunnel hes
been bored. The temperature will cause
no difficulty, as over-costs will be needed
instead of thin clothing during the pass
age. 1t has been supposed that there
would be constant draught OF ar
through the tunnel, but the experience az
Mount Censis seems TO contradict the
theory. Locomotives have been used 3
long time in the Hoosac, but the constant
supply of fresh air at the heading has al
ways driven away the smoke, which Is
nevertheless always oppressive in the
vicinity of the engine. Whatever means
of ventilation shall be invented for Mount
Gents will be even more applicable in Inc
Hoosac, as we have q central shaft TO So
sist in the work, but how much that so
dition will practically amount to RENAME
to be seen.

PARIS GREEN A REMEDY FOR THE
Potato BUG.-We have received the
following letter from Schneider, Bell Sc
Go. of New York in regard to the West
ern bug now ravaging the potato fields of
this county:
NEW YORK, July 6, 1871.
Editors Troy Times: We enclose
herewith an article from your paper of
the lst inst, and desire simply to say
that paris green is effectaal as against
the Western potato bug We have sold
1t for use in the potato fields for three
years past. Paris green should not, how.
ever, be COMPOUNDED with an article
largely sold the present season as '.potato
bug poison" consisting of rejected chrome
green mixed with arsenic, which can
7, only be made available by forcing ii
| down the throat of each individual bug.
We endorse an item clipped from the
JournM Of Commerce of this city bearing
upon this subject. This is not intended
as an advertising Dodge, for we do not
care to appear in the matter at all.
Truly yours,
s.. & Co.
The paragraph from the Journal Of
Commerce referred to, in regard to the
crop in Wisconsin is as follows:
II would refer you to the potato bug,
which has the entire crop in charge, ex.
cept few patches where paris green has
been used. Such pieces bid fair for q
good CROP"
i Another correspondent gives the
manner Of applying the remedy: To six
pounds of -four add one pound of paris
green; mix and apply when the plants
are dry.-Iroy Times.

A NEW LINE FROM THE GREAT
LAKES TO OCEAN NAvIGATIoN.-The
early completion of the Rondout and Os-
wego railroad warrants us in naming
some of the advantages of this great en-
terprise.
|. 1t starts at the head of Ocean ship
and Steamship navigation at Rondout and
Kingston Point on the Hudson, and ter
inmates with its connections at Oswego
Two indispensable requisites of first
GLASS road are thus secured.
2. 1t opens up fine agricultural and
manufacturing district, hitherto untouch'
cd by railways. The local trade in all
manner of farm produce and manufac-
lures must become large. Thus adding
another indispensable requisite to first
class road, fine intermediate country.
What we have named alone il enough to
secure success to any railway.
B. All this is accomplished by building
only 100 miles of railway, 36 miles OF
which is done, and over half, T. e. So miles,
of which will be completed by August
10Th, and the whole by October, 1872
When one measures the distance between
hondout ana OsWego, and notices the
small amount of railway to build, we see
how efficient it must become.
A. 1t IL located centrally between the
manufacturing and mineral interest OF
Central New England and Western New
York, and the great West and North
west.
5. 1t connects Oswego, which is great
grain depot and entrepot of all the North
west, by the shortest line to New York
and New England. On completion of the
intended improvements on the Cempany's
lands and docks at Kingston point, ocean
vessels may load there with grain from
Oswego for Europe, at great saving Of
expense over shipment at New York.
8. This road now offers per cent. in.
terest in gold at 90 and interest on 3d..
100000, loan of first mortgages on its
road. For sale at all the banks in this
Vicinity.

noisiest and most malignant of the

noisiest and most malignant of the
members.
We do not know, nor are we disposed
to believe that the object of the conven-
ton is to coerce Governor Warmoth into
approving their bills. At any rate such
will not be the result Heis standing be-
tween the public treasury and unnecessary
expenses, and is not the man to retreat
from a position taken from a sense of
duty He is not likely to permit $3.50, 900
or $500, 900 to be scattered among lot
of corrupt men who are to receive it, if
at all, in consideration of attacking and
vilifying him, as some of these papers
have done.
Another consideration, which appears to
be overlooked, is this: Mr.. Carter may
not be Speaker of the next session; and
possibly the new Speaker might be
friendly with the Governor. How natu-
raj it would be for the Governor and the
new Speaker to revoke their forty-ive
contracts, and turn the corrupt journals
out in the cold. These are some of the
reflections that occurred to us when we
heard the rumors we have repeated
above.
But whatever may have been the motives
which aetuated those who advised the
calling of the convention, the votes of
yesterday clearly show that the corrupt
factionists are clearly in minority Not
all of the gentlemen holding contracts
from the rump printing commission are
willing to surrender their independence
and their manhood at the behest of the
donors. Some of those heretofore de-
pended upon have failed to come up to
the scratch, while the friends of Governor
Warmoth have developed extraordinary
strength and ability.
We hope now, that the convention will
confne itself to the subjects properly per-
tanning to such body, and leave Cover
nor Warmoth and the other State officials
to discharge their important duties in
their own way, without attempting to
coerce them or intimidate them by bJat.ena
tulne1a in the sha of resolutions.

THE PRESS CONVENTION

Representatives from thirty Re-
publican journals in this State responded
to the call of the president of the Louisi-
ana Republican Press Association by
assembling in the Senate chamber, yester-
| day, at noon. Two sessions were held,
but nothing further was done than to
effect temporary organization.
We are not fully informed as to the
purpose of assembling this convention,
but it is rumored that before Lieutenant
Governor Dunn and Speaker Carter would
make contracts with the forty-fve coun-
try papers now engaged in the useful
public work of printing the session laws,
they extorted pledges from many of them
that they should attack the administra-
ton of Governor Warmoth, and that
official personally. We have noticed from
time to time that attempts have been
made to do something of the sort by some
of the country editors, but whether in
pursuance of these.alleged pledges, or vol
unfairly, out of natural perverseness, we
are unable to determine. Certain it
is, however, that the success of these at
lacks has only been in proportion to the
ability displayed, and not at all equal to
the earnestness. Failing to secure the
desired object by their individual and
separate efforts, they have probably
resorted to convention, in which they
hope to carry resolutions of censure, and
throw out the idea to the world that they
speak with the potential voice of the
whole Republican press of Louisiana.
1t is further said that Governor Warmoth
has refused to approve the bills Of those
papers who obtained printing contracts
from. the Lieutenant Governor and the
Speaker without his concurrence. With
out this approval the State Auditor
neither can nor will issue his warrants
in payment The decision of Judge
Dibble, rendered yesterday, settles that
point 1t is known that three of these
papers have had their official heads cut
on for refusing to fulfill their pledges
to Dunn and Carter already. This
action is probably intended as warning
to Others. 1t is further said that some
i've or SIX OF the papers which have re-
ceived contracts for printing are Demo-
cratic, and that there has been something
more than coquetting between the Demo
Gratis of this city and the malcontent
faction. Two virulent sheets in this city
are evidently published in their interest
already, and overtures have BEEN made
from prominent Democratic mendicants
to widen the breach in the Republican
ranks. There are some three Democratic
papers represented in the press conven-
ton, and their representatives were the

ANOTHER NEW YORK RIOT.

New York city was yesterday the scene
of turbulent, noisy and disagreeable
riot. The contending parties were, on
the one side the Orangemen, Protestant
Irishmen, who desired to celebrate an
event that took place one hundred and
eighty years ago, and on the other the
Catholic Irishmen, who have ever since
the great event, fired up with indignation
at the faintest indication of celebration
of the memorable exploit.
Thus it would seem the issues of the
battle of the Boyne, which were fought
for and settled in Ireland on the twelfth
of July, 1890, and which are old enough
to be dead and buried, have been trans
ferred to the streets of free American

We present further details of the storm
of the ninth instant at Syracuse, New York.
The main points were received by tele-
graph:
SYRACUSE, July 9-The most violent
storm known here for years passed over the
city at two o'clock this afternoon, followed
by another an hour after. The wind blew
down large trees, from one to two feet in
diameter One new building was blown
down, and the high school in Geddes and
several barns were unroofed. The light
ming struck in every part of the city, in
Guiding the houses of Senator Kennedy,
Alderman Howlet, and the Binghampton
engine-house, doing considerable damage.
1t set fire to two private dwellings six miles
west OF this place, and struck Eugene Har-
ris, carpenter, killing him instantly, and
stripping his clothes entirely off his body.
During the storm hailstones as large as
walnuts fell, doing great damage to crops
in the surrounding country. -

Railroad to Texas.

A New Orleans correspondent of the
Houston Telegraph writes as follows:
l learned yesterday that Cakes Ames, the
great Boston capitalist. and one of the prin-
cipal owners of the Chattanooga, New Or
leans ard Texas railroad, had been relieved
from financial embarrassments and had
Gquidated all claims against him, and was
now in funds, so much as to send out to his
company here three millions of dollars in
cash to push forward the road to Houston.
This amount, added to the one million and
half just received from the State of Louis
lana, will give them the snug sum of four
and half millions in cash to press forward
their Texas line. Indeed, we were informed
by Mr.. Hardey, assistant engineer of the
company, that within the next sixty days
the whole line from Washington to Orange
would be let out by contract and that work
would commence simultaneously on that
division, and it is with pleasure thatywe as
sure the readers OF the Telegraph that the
Chattanooga company intend to reach
Houston speedily, from the fact that they
have to reach there in given time or for
felt very large subsidy from this State.

James M. Cavanagh, late the Democratic
delegate from Montana Territory, now the
Republican candidate for the same position,
was a Democratic Representative in Con-

that the proudest moments of his life were
when, in previous years, he was employed
at six dollars week as editor of Western
weekly paper.

1t is noticeable fact that a large number
of trees are being killed in New York by the
wooden pavements excluding moisture from
the roots. The pavements, in many cases.
are perfectly air and water tight. Without
air and moisture having access to the roots
of trees it is as impossible for them to grow
and flourish as it is for animal life to exist
without food and drink. 1t seems to us that
the difficulty might be remedied by having
open spaces left around the trunks, instead
.of building the pavements close up to the
trees as is usually the case.

We were shown yesterday, at the estab
lishment of Messrs. Blanchin & Giraud, on
New Levee street, a specimen of superior
sugar cane now growing on the st. Resale
plantation, belonging to Mr.. Edouard Ma

which is represented as fair average, has
nine ripe joints, with others fast ripening,
and is fully six feet high. 1t shows the cane
to be in such state of forwardness that a
first class crop may be expected.
