LONDONDERRY. Tuesday. june 2eth.

This morning at three O'Clock the coast Of Ire
land was visible, and at an early hour our steamer
was quite alive with the interest excited by the
sight of land. To voyager on the sea perhaps
the most attractive verse in the account of the
alton is when the Almighty said LET the dry land
appear. When our ship came opposite the little
town of Movie, at the mouth of Loeb Foyle, a
small skipper came out and took aboard large
party, Drs. Robinson. Brank Beatty, Moore,
Peltz, Boyd &C., and our company parted for a
season, the Bolivia went on her way to Glasgow,
and we came up the Loeb. The scenery is of ex-
ceediug beauty-the mountains on both sides COM
ing down to the waters edge, aud the fields 'stand
dressed in living green" Loeb Foyle divides be-.
tween the counties Of Derry and Donegal-the
great hives from which came the swarms OF Scotch
Irish that settled in Virginia and other places in
the United States and founded SO many of our
churches. As we came near the city of London
derry the exact place was pointed out where the
boom was broken by the ship which raised the ter
rible seige. No more thrilling passage is to be
found in history, and in my own pastoral charge of
former years. at Augusta church. as we'll as in 9TH

that awful contest, which had been handed down
by descendants of those who took part in its suf-

however, fud ourselves still riding on the steam.

p. M, the ceremony of taking the veil by
three young ladies', will take place at St..

is the first ceremony of tho kind ever per-
formed in Vermont. Bishop DeGoesbriand
of the diocese of Burlington and large

The feminine portion of one of our church
es are greatly inclined to gossip at the ex-
pense of middle aged bachelor who Is
engaged, but is 80 extremely bashful that
he don't dare to 90 home with the lady Of
his affections. OF course 1t is awfully mean
of the gossips to noticesuch things, as
man In such circumstances has already
enough to distract his mind.
In the annual report Of the board Of
trustees of Glen's Falls, which is ad-

''corner loafer" nuisance, it says; 'In q
community of modest men II will be diff
cult to select for" who will not be stricken
with moral blihuness, and rendered unable
to see the corner commentators who seem
to perpetually bssk themselves in the SUM-
shine of obstruction and disorder. Sunday
appears to be their field day, and the lady
who can run the gauntlet of their coarse
and heartless jeers on her way to the gos-
pei, deserves salvation, although she may
not attain it."
The Fairbairn family gave performance
at the village hall on Saturday evening last.

ony of the ordinary run of fashionable

evening more pleasantly than listening to
the rendition of Scottish music by this
family.
