IAN EDITOR IN HEAVEN. ."-Such is the
 caption of an article which has been going
 the rounds of the papers for some time,
 and which appears to be something new
 ''under the sum-" Just as if editors were
 not in the habit of going to Heaven. We'll
 venture to say that greater portion of them go to the home of those who have performed their mission of mercy on earth,
 than any other profession or calling that poor mortals fill. ''An editor in Heaven. !" There's nothing strange about that, at all
 Its almost moral as well as professional impossibility for them to go anywhere else
 Once upon time, after the demise of a member of the 'corps editorial" he pre- sented himself at the gate of the "Golden City," and requested admission. The door cupation while on Terra Firma? He re- piled that he was an editor. ''Well," said the watchman, i've have crowd of your kind here now, and they all come in as dead heads If you pay your passage you can come in, if not you must place your self under the control of parsonage you ruled, tyranically down below, ,"-meaning the ''deyil." Not having the "wherewith to go in, our brother of the ''quill and scis- sors" posted off and presented himself at the entrance of ''Clootie's dark domains. A very dark complexioned gentleman stood sentry, and asked in gruff voice, "who comes ?" "An humble disciple of Faust. '
 was the calm reply. "Then hold on, you can't be admitted" exclaimed the gentle man in black. evincing considerable agita- tioL, aud iercely scowling upon him. ' "Why not?" demanded the ''typo," who began to get somewhat s'huffish and looked around for ''sheep's foot" with which to force an entrance. "Well, sir" replied his sable majesty, ''we let one of your pro. fession in here many years ago, and he kept up continual row with his former delinquent subscribers, and as we have more of that class of persons here than any other, we have passed law prohibiting the admission of any editors, only those who have advanced our interest in their papers on earth, and even those we keep in separate room by themselves. You have published many things operating against us, and always blamed the Devil with everything that went wrong, SO you can't come in. We enforce this without respect to persons for our own peace and safety. '.Now travel" Casting a droll leer at the outside sentinel, our typographi- cal friend started off again, determined to get ''up above" This time he took with him an old file of his paper and presenting it to the guardian of the Celestial City, re- quested that 1t might be carefully examined, and they could see whether he was entitled to a free ticket. In due course of time the conductor came along and took him in, telling him that he had been 8 martyr to the cause of human improvement, and that resolutions had been passed to admit all members of the tart preservative" who had abused the 'Devil" while below. He added that as they were punished enough
 by their being with the ''devil," all their future punishment is commuted. He fur. ther stated that not one delinquent news
 paper subscriber could be found in Heaven.

Cornwall Bridge.


 The Furnace company have again stopped their works for repairs, but the farmers have concluded not to blow out till their tobacco crop is all gathered. Their crop is very fine one this season, and they think they will be fully able to supply the large demand expected to be made upon them for the extensive cigar trade of the enter prising juvenile merchant, who has recently established himself in business at the end of the pile of lumber near the railroad de- pot. Some of the mischievous lads in our village, being fully aware of the bene- fits to be derived from advertising, conclu- ded few evenings since, Tn that way to render aid and assistance to an airy drum mer, who in their estimation was carrying altogether too much canvass to sail with safety in these waters. So hugely was he swelling around the depot, that to relieve him of his misery, they commenced by attaching one of Railways Ready Relief Almanacs to the skirts of his coat, and was about to apply other remedies, but seeing that Radway was already sufficient to let him down several stories in length, con cluded to let we'll enough alone. He isn't as large as he was.......Speaking of enter prise, reminds me that it perhaps would not be out of place to say that there are but few, if any; more enterprising millers in this region than MT. D. w. Manvel. His mill is always open, and he is generally on hand to attend to customers, and as mil Ter, his superiors are few.

For the CONN. WESTERN NEWS. A Morning Row on Lake WOnonsce

For the CONN. WESTERN NEWS. forming Row on Lake WOn0nsce-
 pOmOc. The sky was cloudless overhead, The lake was smooth below, As down the path by "Toto" led, A merry troop we go. Katie the bold, with hair unrolled, And fair, blue eyed Gertrude, And each one bore good ash oar Down to the oaken wood; Bearing my staff, with happy laugh Came Lucy blithe and gay, Such joyous faces, such little graces, Oh, who shall say them nay? Over the bridge and down to the shore, With it's pebbles clean and bright, Where our little boat on the waves did float In it's robe of spotless white. Now all aboard, beneath the shaIle By the tall oaks, wide branching made, Our course we steer, the waters clear Their lowest depths reveal; And gleaming fish dart to and fro Beneath the passing keel, Eastward toward the Conical Pine Where, as our legends tell; The Indian chieftains met lang sYne In solemn festival.
 We hold our way, we pass the Hume Along whose banks the willows bloom; And see perched high upon the hill, The house which love and christian skill Have reared and onward towering high Where Prospect Ridge doth meet ;he sky. Now southward turned, al hand is seen ;clo x.-if fri If The wave worn rocks where once the Loon Uttered it's cry beneath the moon; But vocal now with laughter loud And idle jests of city crowd. We turn aside and pass it by, And seek the shore, whele wave on high The piney woods, and dark and still The waters sleep beneath the hill. The lime stone rocks with shrubs grown o'er Rise up in cliffs along the shore; Upon whose faces smooth and white, The ambitious boy his name may write; And hope that graven in letters deep, The coming years his name will keep; Oh, vision bright of glorious youth Oh, hopes of manhood bold Here fade before the eyes of truth. The purple and the gold! Slowly we glide the rocks along, Now in silence and now in song, Here we pluck the harebell blue From the crevice where it grew, The reddened leaf of wild woodbine, And list the sough of mourning pine. Here we read the sculptured name. Handed down to deathless fame, Names which but yesterday were traced, Names by rude time almost effaced, Here. one fresh cut upon the stone, There, one with lichens overgrown: Maiden and boy, the old, the young, Alas ]! thelr names must be unsung. Now homeward bound, across the lake In straightest course our path we take, In graceful slopes toward the west, Uprise the hills, that stretching forth, In mountain peaks look down; Till far away in distant north, We see the lordly crown Oh him, the monarch stern and proud, Who sits enthroned in silver cloud, And looks with aspect of command, On all the beauty of the land, And now at last the shore we reach, And draw our boat upon the beach, And up the path in merry mood, Welcome thy halls, fair Holley wood, akeville, Sept. 1st, 1871.

Cornwall Hollow

Cornwall HOLLOW
 EDITOR NEws.-Your paper has reached us regularly for several weeks, and been cordially welcomed as worthy of it's name. We have already several county papers, but you know,-''There is always room upstairs" as Aristotle or some other man says, and no fear in this instance of your being jostled if you attempt to get up there. We think it time that Cornwall Hollow awakens to duty and reports itself. Not unknown in the annals of our country we do not want our quiet valley, quite over looked by our fellow townsmen and neigh bors. Perhaps you may wonder what we industry here as we'll as elsewhere. ......The Chinese question does not effect us much, although efficient labor is needed badly enough, nor does the Corean war, nor Fe- male Suffrage. "According to Miss Cath erine Beecher" as the Independent hath it ''who has been everywhere and knows everybody in the United States, there is not healthy woman in the Union." That abused part of our community seem in- clined to suffer on uncomplainingly, not knowing perhaps how mere sa!f'rage is to help the matter. 1.-The Baptist church here, which was closed for time is now open every Sabbath. The Baptists are too few to support pastor, but there is sufficient unanimity to borrow from our Methodist brethren on the one hand, and Congregational on the other, and give good audience to their respective pastors. We have also Sunday school and an oc- casional ''slngin' meeting.". ".....I think the crops here are better than it was at one time thought they would be, some farmers however are quite short for hay, but others have very good crop. Some farmers seem always to look "blue," q do not speak particularly of those about here, who draw down the corners of their mouths Gas though nothing would ever go in there again, and dolefully speak of the corn all eaten off by the worms, and the grass so dreadfully dried up, and think there ''aint going to be an apple on the farm" and the potatoes were never SO small nor the grain SO badly lodged" and ''bugs eat everything in the garden and the weather is so bad you can't hardly stir out doors. As though One had not said ''seed time md harvest shall not cease" and who rules lhe great laws of compensation, SO that when one crop is less, another is greater and when the harvest is light, the winters Ire short in proportion.......Th There is no great excitement about the Railroad here, hut we still hope to see the iron horse pass ny some day. It would be an advantage 10 us in many ways, but for one, see also disadvantages. RusT1cUs.

 Cherokee Advocate.-We have been pre- sented with a copy of the Cherokee Adoo- cate, edited by MT. w. P. Boudinot. This journal is devoted to the interests of the Cherokee tribe of Indians, and is published in Tahlequah, Cherokee Nation. The fath- CT of the editor, who by the way is half Indian, some years since attended school in Cornwall, and not only captivated but captured one of the fairest daughters of that hilly town, and the twain soon after emigrated to the home of the ''brayes" :" This son in his editorials gives evidence of talent of no mean order. Part of the paper is printed in the Indian language, which to us is 80 interesti'ag.
 Hts Potat0es.-An amusing incident oc- cured near the Washinee mill last week. The colored man, Addison, who lives on the island near the mill, sold his potatoes to MT. Hicks, and procured MT. Hicks oldest horse and still older wagon to trans port them. Loading in about eight bushels, he proceeded to cross the brook, which feat he had just accomplished when the wagon struck a small stone, and all sud- denly came to stand still, but soon came the backward motion, which ended in cona- pIetely upsetting the wagon, potatoes and darkey in the brook, the latter exclaimlng in his peculiar tone of voice, ''now that's too bad; I'll lose every one of them pota. ters, ," but to his delight one of the employ ees of the mills called to his assistance two or three men, and placing screen in the stream, saved them all nicely washed, for which we hope MT. Hicks fairly compen- sated hiEi. We received good promise of a treat for services rendered. GID.

Another's OK Gored,

The New York riots have accom- mplished
one g ood purpose, aside from vindicatiug
the maj esty of the Law in the metropolis.
They have elioitsd from the radical papers
q warm indorsement of certain provisions
of the Constitution, treated as obsolete a
few years ago. Thus, the State Journal
publishes, with evident approval, the follow.
ing extracts from the Constitution, as bear
ing on the right of the 0rangemen to walk
in procession
Congress shall make no law respecting
an establishment of religion or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; or GorIdging the
freedom of speech or of the freedom OF the
press or the right of the people peacesbly
to assemble and to petition for redress OF
grievances"
That's as sound as gospel, every word /;
only few years ago we had the same peo.
pie who now profess devotion to those imi-
tAtions Of federal power, gloAting over the
suppression of Democratic newspapers, re-
oicing that they were deprived of mail pri-
vilegss, making merry Of the arrest OF
Democratic speakers, and throwing up their
hats at the dispersion of Democratic con.
ventions ny military power. The sud
dennesS Of Radical conversation to sound
constitutional principles, coupled with theil
past record, leads one to doubt it's sim
