Immense Business Oh Lake Cham
plain.

During the month of June, says the
Whitehall Ners, the total number of clear
ances for the south was 945 of which 274
were of boats loaded with lumber, carry
ing in the aggregate 22,312, 900 feet, and
paving SO, G95. rs for tolls; 612 carried in
the aggregate 141, ,652 pounds of ore,
paving $4,563.23 for tolls; twenty-five
were loaded with iron, nineteen with stone,
four with general merchandise, three with
bones, two with leached ashes, and one
each with barley, gypsum, slaves, lime and
cordwood Estimating the tonnage of each
boat at one hundred tons, fair average,
and the weight of the freight amounts to
$4,000. Allowing ten tons as the weight
of n car load of freight, il would take
9,45O to move it or 315 trains with thirty
cars to train requiring ten trains each day
for the month of June, business that 1t
would take three such roads as the Renssc-
laer & Saratoga to perform. In addition to
this there were also cleared for the South
ia cribs of timber, containing 71,6Ol Gu
bic feet, and paying $454. IA for tolls.
There were ,265 locking of boats gong
north of which there about 900 loaded
with coal, carrying $4,000 tons. TO move
this amount of coal on the basis OF calcu-
lation already assumed, would require l92
trains of cars, having thirty cars IN each
train or six freight trains day during
the month of June, equal to the capacity
of two such roads as the Rensselaer, and
Saratoga.

white faces in the whole line were the Col
onel and Lieutenant Colonel commanding
and think am safe in saying that very
few of the white citizens of Charleston
who saw them pass could have been hired
to take their places.
The military broke ranks at the Battery,
and forthwith took to drinking sassafras
beer and eating watermelons. The Battery
is a beautiful and well-shaded park at the
lower extremity of the city, and it was for
the time converted into huge bazaar, and
every shady spot was occupied by refresh
mcnt stand, from which was dispensed gin
ger pop, fried fish, cakes and pies, sand
witches, ice-cream and soda-water and lem
onade, ad libitum. The heat of the day
seemed to have no effect upon the colored
folks save to increase their capacity for fun
and frolic, and this really happy crowd of
all ages and sexes kept up their enjoyments
until far into the hours of night AT five
or six o'clock, when your correspondent
visited the Battery, there could not have
been less than 10000 people there, and |
do not think it would have been possible
to have found fifty white faces among
them. But who can blame this enfranchis-
ed race for entering heart and soul into the
celebration of the birthday of the nation
that gave them their freedom? more Or
derby and well behaved crowd never saw,
not even in old Vermont, and a more thor
oughly happy crowd l never expect to see
again.
On the 9Th sailed for New York on one
of the steamer of the Adger line, and had
a most delightful passage to this city.
With somewhat extensive experience of
steamboat travelling, we do not remember
having fallen in pleasanter quarters than on
these Charleston steamers. Tie boats are
substantial, sea worthy and furnished with
every comfort, and most ably oflicertd.
These steamers connect at Charleston, not
only with another line of boats running to
Georgia and Florida ports, but with the
railways for the far south. This is not
only far cheaper, but much more agree
able way of getting to Florii than by the
tedious and dusty land routes.
Again find myself in the great metropo-
lis, surrounded by the business activity and
life that cannot be equalled by any other
city in the world. Of its continual whirl
of business, pleasure, tragedy, crime. JOY
and sorrow, and romance in real life,
have not time to write TODAY w.

Over in Newtown they have a sorrow of
their own. Sam has shot his dog. Wher-
ever the visitor to that beautiful village
stops, the mournfu cadence greet him,
''Sam has shot his dog" troubled and I'M
fortunate member of the community, VINO
had lost one eye in death struggle with
cat and whose tail was dissolving with
sort of dry rot like the dew of morn be-
fore the power of the sun. He has gone
now he is waiting away on the balmy
breezes of summer time, and old people
people who had known him from child
hood-who had stopped to caress him in
the twilight and who had conceived for
him an affection which seemed almost in
credible, can smell him after they go to
bed, they say. Sam shot him. lie went
down full of honor and years, and iieas,
carving with him the respect of all, and
profoundly mourned by the entire commu-
nifty. 1t cost Sam fifty cents to have INN
go down that way. But he does not muir
muir. He has put away the memory far
from the gaze of the world, and dried his
tears. and got new dog.-Daa6urq Ne'os,
