Governor Warmoth of Louisiana was
an ardent Greeley man in the late cam
paign. held up as kind Of model by his
party. We hope his friends will look af-
ter their favorite carpet-bagger. There
is by law an Election Board 10 act upon
the returns of the elections. OF this
Board the Governor is member. When
they met few days ago, the Governor
proceeded to remove some members of the
Board and appoint others, so that he now
has 1t made up of men of his own kidney
and can do what he pleases with the votes
and matters in Louisiana to be affected
by them. The people of that State are
very naturally inquiring where was the
use Of their going to the polls.

parts Of the city for safety. The utmost good
order prevails, and nothing is being done which

our city is to be laid in ruins.

SPENCER, November 5, 1872.
The friends of Mr.. l.. c. Scott and vile. for.
merly of this town, met at his residence in
Holden TO celebrate the 2jth anniversary Of their
married life. Quite a large number were present
from Holden, Paxton, Spencer and Brookfcld,
about 50 in all; and the presents showed the
great regard for Mr. and Mrs. S. of the party
present. Among these were a very nice silver
headed cane for Mr.. s., from his brother-n-law,
Mr., D. A. Ball, very rich spoon holder from
Mrs SCOTS sister, Mrs. L. Bar, and many other
articles that We cannot mention here. Mr.. u.
\. Ball made the presentation Speech and Mr..
Scott replied, thanking all in very feeling
manner, and hoping to have a chance to return
the kindness OF his friends on similar occasions.
Mr. Daniel Scott, son Of Mr.. and Mrs Scott,
had very pretty and appropriate poem, which
he delivered, saying he could express his feel
inrs in that way better than in any other, and
it was just to the point especially as coming
from him. After this, all sat down TO a rousng
dinner of turkey, with all the fXings which
was pnItaken of heartily, especially by the
Spencer PARTY, for after riding about twelve
miles IN the cold, in and on an old stage drawn 10y
four team horses, appetite was very much sharp
ened. After dinner the Time was spent in story
telling, singing, and little lcroquct playing on
the lawn in front Of the house. Finally, the
party gathered in the house to listen to the
prayer of MIR. Ball. thanking heaven for sparing
all, and praying for the blessing Of God on all.
Just before the starting for home, Mrs. Scott
told us about the day % years ago. She said it
was as warm as midsummer, and when they
ielt her fathers in Spencer to 90 to their new
home IN Leicester, they did not need robes to
wrap IN, as we did riding from Spencer, this
morning, but as 1t was about p. NJ, the party

LECTURE BY BIsHoP LYNCH.-Bishop Lynch
of Charleston, S. G., the well known Catholic
clergyman, addressed a large audience at St.
Pauls church last evening on education. He
alluded to what the Catholic church had done
in Ireland and elsewhere as the patron of learn
ing. He stated the church view of educatiol in
the family the training of the intellect and the
instruction of the workshop. Passing to the
question, what shall children read? he de.
nounced the light reading of the day, and said
that parents should see that their children were
supplied with the Catholic periodicals, oil which
there are many suited to all ages and conditions.
He spoke earnestly and eloquently and was

The BOstOn FIre-EtS Effect in Worcester.
An alarm of fire from box 4, about halG-past
ten Saturday evening, was the first intmation
publicly given in this city of the terrible fire
raging in Boston. The alarm was given upon
information received at the Western Union Tel
egraph Office and an urgent request for aid. The
department turned out promptly, and a special
train was Immediately made up at the Wash
ngton square station. Steamers 1 and 2, with
their hose carriages, and three men from each
company, were detailed to go to the aid Of the
burning city.
The remainder of the department returned to
their houses only to be recalled at half past one
by another alarm from the same box. Another
| dispatch, calling especially for hose and men,
had been received, and Eagle hose No. 3, with
1900 feet of hose taken from the reels of the
other companies, was put upon a platform car
and Immediately started for Boston Engineers

Early yesterday morning additional intelli-
gence of the spread of the flames was received
in this city, aud many persons went down to
Boston by the early trains.
As each succeeding dispatch only confirmed
the terrible fact of the spread Of the condlgra-
ton, the excitement in the city becamelintense.
Crowds gathered in the streets eagerly di scuss
ing each bit of news as it was received, and the
multitude Of rumorS which were in circulation.
The wires between here and Boston were burned
off at an carly hour, and the only reliable in
formation concerning the fire obtained during
the forenoon came from New York, having
reached there by the way Of Montreal and Port
land.
AT two O'Clock an extra was issued from the
Spy office containing full reports of the progress
of the conHagration up to that houI. The rapid
