Jack Frost has given us repeated
calls for the last fortnight, and we
have hailed his visits with great de-
light. Business, especially in the drug
line, is now dBlI; fr Mr. Frost brings

Crops of cotton will fall far short 81
estimates hitherto made. Fully one

regard to the yield of the crops for

I the bulk Of the cotton crop of this vi

me that our town is not destitute Of
enterprising men. They have already
put up Fifty or more bales Of cotton.

can gin and pack twelve bales pei

 Afr. Editor:-I had the honor of repre- senting the Queens County Sunday School Teachers Association at the State Asso- ciatlon of Sunday School Teachers, held at Watertown, N. Y., June 2d, Sd and 4th, 1874, and at that time, and since then. I have been strongly inclined to write you more particularly regarding one incident occurring at the time, which interested me exceedingly. Believeing that age will not impair it's interest. will now give it you. with some additional facts of inter national interest:
 In view of the fact that portion of our delegates would avail themselves of an excursion homo ria Montreal, Rev. Geo. H. Wells. of Montreal, was sent to Water town to extend to the convention hearty welcome. After the convention our del- egation passed the first night at Odens- burgh, where we met with public recep- tion, and were afterwards invited to the homes of our Christian friends. The writer was the guest of General Judson, whose age seems to detract nothing from his patriotism and vigor of thought. The following day we took steamer and passed down the River St Lawrence. Most of our journey is calm and quiet; but, at last, we hear the distant murmur of sur ging waters. and before we are aware of the fact we are dashing through the tur- bulent rapids. A few minutes before. cheer, intermingled with song were to be heard throughout the boat; nov, no sound but that of the rushing waters and the clear voice of our Indian pilot is heard until we pass all danger.
 Arriving in Montreal. we received . hearty reception. The doors of the large Rink, in which the ladies of the Union Christian Association were holding . fes. tival and fair, were thrown open to us. As we entered the air was laden with the perfume of many flowers, and while we were marching around beneath the over hanging festoons the band played our pa triotic airs. not forgetting s'Yankee Doc dle and ''God save the Queen, oI which awakens memories that never die Among other matters of interest was Mr WelEs' invitation of welcome at Waser town he said .'The first Sunday Schoo in Montreal first in Canada n fac was started by & young lady who was . member and founder of the church o which I am now the pastor. She had gon, from Montreal to attend a famous young ladies school at Litchfeld.

 of what happened to him tor, as he is a
 prime story-teller, of what he said hap
 pened to him), when he made his first
 pubic speech. He had been invited to
 deliver an address in the school house of
 a small village in Connecticut, so sterile
 that some parts of 1t could only be used
 as graveyard; but the inhabitants Gag
 ricultural of course) would turn out in
 force for lecture. The carpenter had
 been busy all day in the school house
 making a stage of hemlock boards, large
 enough for an orator of moderate capaci-
 ty, and the timer had put up, on the
 whitewashed walls at respectable dis
 tances, little tin sockets to hold the tal-
 low candles destined to illuminate the
 room; and which would impart unctuous matter enough to the audience if the lec- ture should prove to be wanting in that quality. The pictorial representations on the walls. done in red chalk or charcoal, and which were neither artistic nor classi- cal. were effective enough to reproduce to the children the pecuIiarlties of form or feature of the successive schoolmasters who had reigned over them. Hideous busts of Washington and Franklin stood on two posts beside the blackboard, making one wish for the mythical hatchet to de- molish the Father of his Country, or that the philosopher himself could draw down the lightning to destroy his own efigy. J Sleighs had been flying about that bit- ter February evening, bringing people in good season to the lecture. The jingle of the last string of bells had subsided when the speaker arrived at the school house, and found good audience awaiting him. A bucolic aroma pervaded the room which somewhat relieved the dry heat of the cast-iron stove, and added pungency to the tallow drip.
 z The subject of the lecture was PATRIOT ISM. MT. - began in a subdued tone. He tried to simplify his remarks to suit the rustic understanding, and at the same time display his collegiate erudition. He felt 1t necessary to quote largely from the classics in the originals. Theromopylea, and Marathon suffered that night. Virgil and Homer were taxed, and Cicero and Demosthenes acted we'll theirpart. Then came William Tell .and lastly Washington. The room got warm, and so did theorator. He portrayed in glowing language the the anxieties. and the triumphs of the Revolution, and then the future glory of the Republic was foretold.a He lose on his toes. and his metaphors to the occasion.

 "Mr. -" said he, meekly. "when you have finished, please lock the door md hang the key up on the nail" That individual and the Lecturer were the only persons left in the schoolhouse. V.
