This is getting to be quite fashionable
summer resort, and large number of stran-
gers are now here from Boston and New York
Among other notables understand that the
family of General Sherman are spending the
summer at this place; and speaking of Gen
eral sherman let me relate a little joke that
happened last Monday in another part ofthis
state-at Newport-from the effects of which
all New England is still on the broad grin
Last Monday afternoon the proprietor of the
Magog" House, at Newport, received dis
patch asking that rooms might be reserved
for General Sherman and party. Of course it
must be "Old Tecumseh," and the finest
rooms in the large hotel were Immediately
put in readiness for the reception of the hero
OF the march to the sea. Newport is an in
tensely loyal village, and mass meeting OF
small scale was at once held, at which it
was decided to give the General reception
worthy of his rank. A cannon-one that has
for years ushered in and out the 4th of July
was brought out and placed in position in
front of the hotel, and as the train came in
the gun was touched off, and some fifty panes
of glass went to eternal smash. That was
nothing-Sherman had come-and they con-
tinued to bang away with che venerable field
piece, until the General" registered his
name as F. T. Sherman, Chicago. Then there
was another explosion but this time no glass
was broken. 1t is thought the patriotic citi-
zens of Newport were purchased !" cheap.
Lake Champlain furnishes the facilities for
interesting moonlight excursions, and they
are now enjoyed to the utmost.
One more little incident of st. Adams in
war times, and will draw my letter to a
close: Shortly after the raid above spoken
of regiment of cavalry was formed and sta
toned at different points along the Canada
line, two companies being stationed here.
When Lee surrendered his army the affair
caused so much JOY among the military resi-
dents of st. Adams that the commanding
officer issued q special order to the effect that
all persons caught on the streets after six
O'Clock in the evening, sober, should be put
into the guard house, and for the first time
in three months the guard house remained
empty through the night-not a soldier or a
citizens were incarcerated.

Take my hat, Mr.. Editor, for that gentle

Those ideas thown out by certain Mr..
Alexander Edwards, and one who styles him
self 6 American Citizen" in your issue two
weeks ago, would naturally create in the minds
of those not knowing history,a feeling as if all
Orangemen were horrid set of birthstone
coated "gents " of warmer chimes, without a
shade Of mercy that would hang all ''for
wearing of the green" Granted, that the
"rcords of the Orange party' of 1895 were
horrid in its nature, but does this signify that
the pages of the opposite party were any bet
ter? I refer only to those dark days of the
" Irish Massacre" where even the poor infant
was not spared, for fear it might turn
/" child of satan"-in other words hereto or
protestant. That created the Society called
Orangemen, only under different name !;
who swore allegiance to the British Govern
ment " as ZofaQ as she av0uZd remain protestant
and no longer. Please don't be so forgetful.
But if he harbors for a moment the idea that
that dark, dismal demon of hell which caused
the riots in New York Il speak of two riots,
remember this for you might again be forget
ful,) was that same bright heavenborn, angel
spirit, that led the brave and noble "Irish
American - to battle for our glorious Union,
he not only is mistaken, but insults every
true " Irish Union Soldier.'
One more word, and shall say with Logan
ct have said" Does the holy catholic
church condemn secret political organiza-
lions only, or rather does it not also hurl it's
curse on all societies be they political or be-
nevolent Why Because they have mind
to keep their business to themselves. Do
you know of some other answer If so go
ahead-I listen. For my part don't care
cooper cent " for either party-only justice
is justice.

looking, pious church member came and took
him by the collar, and threw him into the

aud hear the rest of the sermon, when the
sexton kicked him off the steps. He went to
the side Of the church to listen to the sermon
through the window, when one of the mem
bers said "Amen" to something the minis

the window into the listeners eyes. He says
he has been forward to the anxious seat sey-
