WINDSOR COUNTY CoURT.-The Wind
sor County Court closed its May session,
June 14th, at II o'3lock, a. III. There
were some twenty applications for divorce
upon the docket, about half of which
came TO a successful termination. The
change 10 the law, which allows the par
ties Ito testify in cases where the COM
plant is intoierable severity, led to dis
closures of barbarity by the lords of crea-
ton in Windsor county, which would be
disgraceful to the Kuklux. Such barbar-
tiles are perpetrated under the influence
of liquor, and call loudly for rigid en-
forcement of our prohibitory law.
The complaints for intolerable severity
all came from the "weaker vessels" the
lords either having no cause of complaint
or enduring affections with patience.
There was one case where it appeared
that two brothers had exchanged wives
some seven years since, and each had con-
tinued to live with the wife obtained BY
the exchange. It did not appear in court
on what terms the "swap" was made, but
it is said one of them paid COW to "boot'
If the man who paid the COW got COM

The NEW ORLEANS FLooD.-The
great flood which has prevailed at New
Orleans was the result of the cupidity
and recklessness of an avaricious canal
company. by it's orders the earth was
removed from the levee till it became so
weakened that the pressure of the water
burst through it. The New Orleans
Times of the Sth inst, says, SO far as the
inquiry instituted by the city administra-
tors into the origin of the overflow has
progressed, the new Canal Company is
seriously compromised: tits alleged that
the lessees of the canal have disposed OF
the right to remove dirt from the levee,
in one instance to DIR. Anfoux, and in the
other to the New Orleans and jackson
Railroad Company. The former carried
the soil from near Hagsn avenue, the lat
ter from place about mile and half
nearer the lake, where the second break
subsequently occurred. On Friday last
an old negro man, being at Hagan avenue,
cautioned the ezcayators to desist on rac-
count of the danger, and also lodged in.
formation at the City Hall. In neither
instance was his warning acted upon.
That night the levee gave way with the
calamitous result now before us.

WALLINGFoRD.-Some days since we
had the pleasure of receiving a visit from
our old time friend, W. W. Marsh, now
of Omaha, Neb. He is looking finely. He
returns after an absence of fifteen years
almost unchanged-the same genial and
companionable man as ever. He has been
connected for some years with the famous
Transfer company, at Omaha, which, with
a feet of ferry boats, has had to transfer
the entire and immense freight and pas
senger business of the Union Pacific rail
road, across the Missouri river, pending
the building of the new bridge. He is
widely known 1.-THE West among railroad
and steamboat men, as stirring and eff
cient business man. He has been success
full. AS Vermont boy we claim an in
terest in him, May he still continue TO
enjoy the same measure of success in the
future, with which he has been favored in
the past.
i visited the Wallingford cheese fac
tory this morning, and found everything
going on prosperously there. This year
it is under the management of W. V.
Williams of Dandy. Everything about
the premises is scrupulously neat and
clean. They use the milk of three hun.
dred and fifty COWS. This gives at pres
ent about seventy-two hundred pounds of
milk daily, which is manufactured into
thirteen cheese. When the feed is better
they get more milk and make fifteen
cheese per day. They have made in all
this season five hundred cheese, of which
they have sold one hundred, leaving four
hundred now on hand.
Tuesday afternoon we had most re-
freshing and delightful shower, accompa
MED by thunder and lightning, lasting
about two hours. The ground has beer
so long dry, and things so scorched thai
the rain was most thankfully received. l
puts an entirely new face upon vegeta

The Value of a Minute.

A small vessel was nearing the
Steep Holmes, in the Bristol Chan
mel. The captain stood on the deck,
his watch in his hand, his eve fixed
on it.
\ terrible tempest had driven
them onward. and the vessel was a
scene of devastation. No one dared
to ask, is there hope" Silent con-
sternation filled every heart, made
every face pale. The wind and the
tide drove the shattered bark fierce
ly forward. Every moment they
were hurried nearer to the sullen
rock which knew no mercy-on
which many iil-fated vessels had
foundered, all the crew perishing.
Still the captain stood motionless,
speechless, his watch in his hand.
I'VE are lostr' was the conviction
of many around him.
Suddenly his eye glanced across
the sea; he stood erect; another
moment, and he cried, Thank God
we are saved; the tide has turned
in one minute more we should have
been on the rocks,' He returned
his chronometer, by which he had
then measured the race between time
and tide, to his pocket; and if they
never felt it before assuredly both
he and his crew were on that day
powerfully taught the value Of a

The Power of the Inner Life.

On winters day | have noticed
a row of cottages, with deep load
of snow On their several roofs; but
as the day wore on, large fragments
began to7tumble from the caves of
this one and that other, till, by-and
bve. there was simultaneous ava
lanche, and the whole heap Sid over
in powderv ruin on the pavement,
and before the sun went down you
saw each roof as clear and dry as on
summers eve. But here and there
YOU will observe one with its snow
mantle 1unbroken, and ruff of stiff
icicles around it. What made the
difference? The difference was to
be found within. Some ofthese huts
were-empty, or the lonely inhabi-
tant covered over scanty fire;
whilst the peopled hearth and the
high; ;biazing fagots of the rest Great
ed such. an inward warmth that
grim winter melted and relaxed his
grippe, and the loosened mass folded
off and tumbled over on the trampied
street. 1t is possible by some out
side process to push the main vol
umne of snow from the frosty roof,
or chip off the icicles one by one.
But they will form again, and it
needsan inward heat to create to-
tai thaw.~ And o,by sundry process
es, you may clear off from a mans
conductthe dead weight of conspicu-
Gus sins; but it needs a hidden heat,
a vitai-warmth within, to produce
such aseparation between the soul
and itsbesetting iniquities, that the
wholezwintry incubus, the entire
body-of sin, will come spontaneously
away.That vital warmth is the love
of GodSabundantly shed abroad
the kindly glow which the Comfort
er diffuses in the soul which he
makes his home. His genial inhab-
itation thaws that soul and its favor
ite sins assunder, and makes the in
dolence and self-indnlgence and in
devotion fall off from their old rest
place on that disselying heart. The
easiest form of Standardization is
a fervent spirit. ~. Hamilton, ID. ID.

The Morning.


How tranquil is the air, and how
mild its temperature! 1t is morn
ing,and q morning sweet, and fresh,
and delightful. Everybody knows
the morning in its metaphorical
sense, applied to SO many objects,
and on so many occasions. The
health, strength and beauty of early
years lead US to call that period the
morning of life" But the morn
ing itself, few people, inhabitants of
cities, know anything about it.
Their idea of it is, that it is that
part of the day that ushers in cup
Of coffee and a piece of toast.
With them morning is not new
issuing of light; a new bursting
forth of the sun; a new waking up
of all that has life from a sort of
temporary death, to behold again
the works of the Creator-the
heavens and the earth; it is only. a
part of the domestic day, belonging
to breakfast, to reading the news
papers, sending the children to school
and giving orders for the dinner.
The first streak of light,t earliest
purpling of the east which the lark
springs up to greet, and the deep
coloring into orange and red, till at
length ''the glorious sun is seen, re-
gent Of day." this they never enjoy,
Sor they never see it.
Beautiful descriptions of the
morning abound in all languages;
but they are the strongest, perhaps,
in those of the East, where the sun
is often an object of worship. King
David speaks of taking to himself
the "wings of the morning" This
is highly poetical and beautiful.
The wings of the morning are the
beams of the rising sun. Rays of
light are wings. 1t is thus said
that the Sun of Righteousness shall
arise with healing in his wings :
rising sun, which shall scatter life,
health and joy throughout the uni
verse. Milton has fine descriptions
of morning; but not so many as
Shakespeare, from whose writings
pages of the most beautiful imagery,
all founded on the glory OF the
morning, might be filled.
We love the morning, fresh and
sweet as it is; a daily new creation,
breaking forth, and calling all that
have life, and breath, and being to
new alteration, new enjoyments, and
new gratitude.
