This is the carnival season of maple
sugar. Large quantities are being made
by our farmers, who with their heaters,
evaporators and other modern improve
ments, are bringing the article to perfec-
tion and they are continually sending it
off to supply the demand in the cities and
arge towns. Sugar parties are abundant
and attractive, making the place very live
ly. There have also been two "linen we'd
dngs" recently-one at Mr.. and Mrs. Hen
ry Bowkers, and the other at Mr.. and Mrs.
S. b. Barnard's, both of which were large
ly attended, and the entertainments very
fine. May joy and prosperity attend them.

confess It, not with empty words, but with
the hearts fullest sincerity, this is the very
first step in genuine repentance. Final
ly, the Publican's prayer was prayer TO
God IL was an appeal to tho divine mer-
cy. There is no hope for lost and ruined
man except in the mighty delverance Of
God through Christ. In the saving of the
soul this arm of flesh can avail nothingj
the intercessions of the saints can he only
for naught; the interposition of angels can
be of no possible effect. There Is mercy
with God and with God alone. To offer in
sincerity and in truth the Publican's pray
or is mans first duty as convinced of his
ruin and sin he seeks to turn unto the
Lord, iorsaking his sins and follies utterly
and forever. 1t also conditions the great
work of sanctihcation and renewal which
alone belongs to the Holy Spirit.
In the Methodist Church, Sunday
morning, March Goth, Rev. A. G. Button,
pastor, delivered a practical discourse from
Cor, Is IS. St. Paul in this chapter sets
before us that glorious event which is pc
culiar to Christianity-the resurrection,
Transformation and glorifcaton Of the hui
man body. He declares, first, the resur-
rection of Christ according to the Scrip
tures-proves that fact by numerous and
| reliable witnesses and then against
all the scepticism of his day, maintains de-
cdedly the doctrine of a universal resur-
recton of the dead. Our text presents the
practical inference he draws from so i'm
/ poriant truth. "Be We steadfast, immov-
able, always Astounding in the work of the
Lord" This must imply, first, firm adj
kherence to, and maintenance, of the essen
ttiai doctrines of Christianity. st. Paul
! gives his example in the instance before us.
From an example like this, aud the dec
| laration of our text, we infer that while we
are TO yield with charity to unimportant
matters of form and usage consequent up
| on difference of education, etc., the essen
/ tal doctrines of the Christian religion,
! which lie at its foundation and constitute
| it what il is should never be surrendered
or sacrificed by any compromise with the
errors which assail them. Secondly, to be
steadfast must imply n frmness of moral
principle to carry out fully the practical
! teachings of the Christian religion against
all temptations and opposing influences.
Thirdly, every Christian is to be worker
for God his mission is to be an earnest
and constant laborer. go, work in my
vineyard" says the Master. Finally, Paul
here as elsewhere, connects mans interest
with his duty, and thus gives the strongest
possible encouragements to stability and
activity of Christian character. "Your la
Dor shall not be in vain in the Lord" And
aye know this LIST, BY its results in the
present life. (a) Results upon the laborer.
(b) Results upon those for whom the
Christian labors. 3D. The final triumph
of the Christian in his promised resurrec-
ton is the special promise given to urge
the exhortation TO religious stability and
activity.

The Nation newspaper, in reviewing
the controversy about "outrages at the
South" says: "If the State Government
does not protect a man, can he look no
where else for redress? We answer, that
If there be any value whatever in the the
DRY on which American polity is based, the
remedy of Southern disorders must come
from the Southern people, through their
experience of the folly and suffering of
disorder. If this be not true, the whole
American system is mistake destined ere
long to perish. Our business is now to
leave every Southern State to its own peo-
pie, first, because it is the only practicable
course, and, secondly, because 1t is the on
ly wise one. If they are so demoralized
that they go on robbing and numbering
and "Ku-Kluxing" each other, we cannot
interfere effectively, and had better not in
terfere at all. The American punishments
for State which permits these things are
wo-impoverishmen and emigration. If
a man cannot have freedom, security and
light taxation In New York, let him go to
New Jersey If he cannot have them in
South Carolina, let him go to Virginia; If
he cannot have them in either, let him go
to Missouri. Those who stay behind, on

Madam Rumor, of Dummerston, as
cribes an accident which befell T. NJ. AL
bee of this town, while passing on the
road from Brattleboro home on the night
of March 10, to a certain melifuous condi-
ton of mind, caused by the use of too
much eXhilarating fluid. Now of this
matter we have simply to say that having
known the man six years, we consider the
statements of Madam Rumor decidedly
improbable, for he is not man that is in
the habit of using the fluid in any such
quantities. We are inclined to believe
that the accident was the result of fluosity
in the road rather than the head, combin-
ed with the dark ness and the lack of any
railing or guard. The facts, as given us are
that he had carried load of household
goods to the depot for neighbor, and was
returning with few hundred weight of
plaster, all loaded upon the hind axletree
of the wagon, and the night was so dark
that it was difficult to even see team, and
much more so to undertake to guide 1t
through the mud so he gave the horses
tn line and trusted to their instincts to
pick out the road and as they passed this
point in the road, the horses in trying to
keep out OF the mud, got so far out of the
road that the hind wheel with its load
dropped of the bank, then catching up the
lines and getting them crossed, and pulling
this way and that, and the load pulling
down hill, they all went down the bank
together, some fifteen feet.

A movement of reform within

A movement of reform within the re-
publican organization has been started in
Cincinnati, having the support or sympa-
thy OF many leading republicans of Ohio.
declaration of principles has been put
forth, reviewing the credtable career of
the republican party in saving the Union,
abolishing slavery and establishing the po-
litical equality of all citizens, but contend
ing that the continued usefulness and sue
cess of the organization depend on its prop
erly meeting questions of the present and
Immediate future. Four points, therefore,
are made the subject of recommendation.
General amnesty is advocated to the end
that the enmities and resentments of the
war shall be buried and all causes of irri-
tation be removed. Revenue tariff is sup
ported on the ground that duties on i'm
ports should be imposed for revenue and
for no other purpose, while protection is
denounced and the demand made that the
revenue shall be raised from the smallest
possible number of taxable articles. Civil
Service Reform is warmly urged, and 1t is
advised that the caucus system should be
dispensed with wherever it is practicable
Specie payments should be resumed by a
gradual but certain return to gold and sill
yer as the true basis of currencies.

We are credibly informed that the par
agraph in last weeks paper, from our West
Dummerston correspondent, was untrue as
regards the rumored intoxication of Mr..
Albee. In the first place, Mr.. Albee does
not appear to be that "kind of a MANI" and
secondly, no such supposition is necessary
TO explain the accident referred to, nor will
such a charge shield the town of Dummer-
ston from liability, as Mr.. Albee proposes
to demonstrate. Concerning the character
of Mr.. Albee, the following note speaks for

Mr.. EdhOr-Dcdr SIR Having noticed
in late issue of your paper a spiteful item
not spicy, as the author doubtless imag-
ined-concerning highly respectable cit-
zen Of this vicinity, we deem IT but justice
toward Mr. Albee and his friends, to ask
you to insert in your columns this express
sion Of our indignation at the unwarranta-
BILE attack on his character. During an in
innate acquaintance of five years with Mr..
Albee, We have never seen him so far un-
der the influence of the 'exhilarating fluid
as to merit the gossip of Dame Rumor, or
be unmindful of the rudiments of decen-

The marriage of the Princess Louise,
Queen Victoria's fourth daughter, with the
Marquis of Lorne, was celebrated at Wind
sor Castle on Tuesday, in the presence of
the royal family, ministers, ambassadors,
obility and about thousand invited
guests. The ceremony was performed by
the bishop of London with several clerical
assistants in the choral style, the Queen
giving the bride away. The Marquis of
Lorne, although he has no kingly blood in
his veins, is scion of one of the oldest and
proudest branches of the English nobility.
The dignity of royalty, therefore, is lower
ed but single step by this alliance. The
match is immensely popular with the great
mass of the English people who are hearth
ly tired of seeing the daughters of their
Queen, one after another, carried off by
some vagabond, and generally impecuni-
Gus, German prince.

The Washington correspondents report
that Mr.. Summers speech on San Domin-
go in the Senate Monday, brought out the
largest and most brilliant audience of the
season. There has been nothing like it
since the impeachment trial. Ladies crowd
cd the cloak rooms and even the reporters
gallery. When Senator Sumner entered
and took his seat murmurs of applause rose
from the galleries, and all through his
speech when he made good point it was
evident from the subdued manifestations
in the galleries that most of the auditors
were enthusiastic friends of the speaker
The speech is regarded OH all sides as a
great one.

The President has wisely concluded
not to defer his clear duty to the indefinite
action of Congress. He has been called
in accordance with the provisions of the
constitution, to protect the people of that
State against domestic violence, and being
satisfied that the necessity for assistance on
the part of the United States exists, in con-
sequence of the inability of the State Gov
eminent to restore order, he can do moth
ing else but take the requisite steps to see
that the laws are executed. Accordingly
he has issued a proclamation commanding
all persons composing the unlawful COM
binations TO disperse within twenty DAYS.

No law was passed at the last session of
Congress, as some have supposed, giving
land bounties to soldiers who served dur
ing the rebellion. A bill giving soldiers
some advantages under the homestead law
passed the House, but it failed to get
through the Senate, so that the only pro-
vision of the homestead act, which does
not apply equally to citizens and soldiers
is one passed last July giving soldiers
and sailors who served during the rebel
lion the right to enter l6O acres of land held
at $3.50 an acre, instead of so acres, the
ers are allowed to enter.
