lCorrespondence OF the Richmond Dispatch
AUGUST %, 1856.
The temperance basket picnic held
Yesterday in the woods skirting OBJ
seryatory mountain was very success
full. The weather was excessively
warm, but, in spite Of that, more than
two thousand people attended. The
Stonewall Band, of Stanton, fur
nished music, which was added to by
a large choir led by an organ. The as
semblage was surrounded by booths,
whose owners seemed to be doing
good business in the sale of temperance
drinks and other dainties inseparable
from a picnic.
DR.. Hawthorne made the first ad-
dress. Your correspondent reached the
grounds too late to hear it, but the
praise it received justiies the belief that
it was highly acceptable to his auditors.
lie said the local-option bill had, in
large measure, been passed by the OPP
ponents of the temperance movement.
Later in the day Mr.. Massey endorsed
the statement as practically true and
ayerred that an amendment eXemptlng
native wines from the operations of the
bill was discountensnced. Mr. Massey
read a letter which Mr.. Ii. NJ. Magruder,
a jealous opponent of local option at the
election in April, has sent to a paper,
and which will soon be published. Mr..
MagIuder's charges that those conduct
ing the canvass against the bill last
spring made pledges which they have
made no attempt whatever to redeem,
now that they are reaping the fruits OF
their victory. Blakey, the chairman OF
that committee, had repeatedly asked
it to meet, but It has always refused or
failed to do so.
DR.. John Harmon, of Lynchburg,
made very Apostle and striking ad-
dress, as did the Rev. Mr.. Funkhouser,
of Rockingham, who was introduced as
from the county once known as the
Tenth Legion Of Democracy, but was
soon to be the Tenth legion of the tenn
persnce cause. All the speakers con-
iidently predicted the ultimate success
of the movement. The alleged bad
faith of those who in Charlottesville
had promised that if the local-option
bill were voted down they would bring
forwsrd something better was used to
good purpose.
On the question Of the natlye-grape in
teIest the sentiment was OutspOken that
nobody desired any legislation that would
iniuIe it, but, on the contrary, wanted 1t
exemp pied from the operation Of any tenn
peIance legislation. Reference was also
made to the alleged fact that the at
tempt was made by the temperance ad-
yocaies TO have the election postponed
until after the Legislature should have
an opportunity to amend the bill so as
TO leave out native wines, but that the
liouor-men, who got up the petition
which required Judge White to order
The election, refused to allow delay for
such a purpose.

THE NIAGARA wATER-POwER.
A Company Organized 20 Develop ana
Utilize IL.


A Buffalo special says: For years
the study of many has been to utilize
the unlimited wster-power Afforded by
the Niagara river in the most practical
BILE and cheapest manner. This i'm
mense power has never been used ex-
cept to a very small extent. A COM
pany of capitalists and experienced
men has been organized and incorpo-
rated as the Niagara-River Hy-
draulic Tunnel and Sewer Com
panv, whose base of operations is to
be at the village Of Niagara Falls, and
whose object is to develop the water
power of the great river at an estimated
expense Of s3,000,000. The main point
OF the scheme is to construct a tunnel
from the water-level below the falls,
200 feet below the. high bank Of the
river, extending through the rock to
the Upper Niagara river at q point
about one mile above the falls, where
head Of 100 feet is obtained. The tun-
mel thence is to extend parallel with the
shore of the river one and one half miles
at an average depth Of 100 feet below
the surface Of the earth and at distance
of about 400 feet from the nayigable
waters Of the river, with which 1t IS
connected by means OF conduits or late
raj tunnels. Since the Incorporation OF
the company, March 3lst last, sufficient
lard along the river has been secured,
surveyed, and appOrtioned into mill
sites fronting on the river, and on the
line of the proposed tunnel, with ample
streets and lockage, affording facilities
for approach by rail and water
TO accommodate 238 mills of 500
horsepower each, or 10000 horse
power in all, which is the en-
gineer's estimate Of the capacity
of the proposed tunnel. Some idea OF
the effect of this tunnel may be had
from the fact that it will develop a
power largely in excess Of the combined
power in use at HOlyoke, Lowell, Min
neapolis, Cohoes, Lewiston, and Law
renee, and it will not cost more than
one tenth of the outlay for the develop
nent of the power at the places desig.
mated. The company expects to found
manufacturing town at Niagara Falls
and each one interested to make for
tune out of it. The plan was made by
Thomas Evershed, one Of the State en-
| gineers.

A Lifetime Of Madness Nauscd bY n

a Lowell Mass. special says: VIII
lard Pierce. who died at the pOOrhouse
at TyDgsborOugh, small town a fe.
miles from this city, was man With a
strange and romantic history. At the
time of his death be was sixty-three
years of age, and had been in solitary
confinement for upward Of forty years.
The cell in which he hal spent
almost his entire life vas but
eight feet square. lie was violently
insane, and for years his food had been
passed in TO him through a grating.
Seldom during all these weary years
vas he ever seen in any other position
than sitting on \ low stool in one cor
ner Of his cell with his head buried in
his hsnds. II disturbed he would
growl and snap at the intruder much
the same as dog might do. Ills BAR
had grown to an extraordinary length
IL hung in matted black locks far down
on his shoulders, for despite his age il
had not changed color. His hands,
from long confinement aud the manner
IN which bis nails were allo wed - grow,
had close resemblance to the talons
of a monstrous bird.
Pierce was graduate Of Harvard
University who had ranked high N his
class. lie was q young man of mach
promise. Amer graduating, being
obliged to make his own way IN the
weird, be secured a situation to teach
the district school at TyngsboroIgh.
While there he fell deeply in love

away, and heIeturned to TyngsbOrough

Can You Not Give Your Boy Further
Education?
rFor the Dispatch.l


This a serious question, andit should
be carefully pondered right now. The
session of lSS6-'S7 will soon open.
Only a week or two remain for con-
sideration and action.
Let me suggest two or three consider
atoms for your readers :
|. This matter Of education must be
attended to at the right time, or the OPP
portunity is forever lost. The work
must be compressed into a few brief
wears. To wait, to daily at the behest
Of few weak excuses, is to rob your
child of all hope. Make up your
mind and put your resolution into action.
Don't postpone day.
.. Give your child the benefit OF your
doubt. Clear your skirts Of all respon-
sibility by doing your best for him. If
he fails to improve you have neverthe-
less done your duty. He cannot re-
proach you for his failure. Your boy
may not have done we'll last year. Try
him again. Tell him he must be edu-
Gated. Beg him to be educated. Let
him see that it weighs upon your heart.
There may be happy turn in his life
another session. His ambition may be
fired. Try him again
If you think you perhaps cannot az
ford the expense give him the benefit Of
this doubt also. Now is the time for
you to practice what you preach to him.
Try. God help you to try-God will
help you if you will honestly try to
make your child an intelligent, worthy
member of society.
8. Do not be satisfied with partial
education. Put your child in with the
idea that he is to come out at the tor
Of the ladder. Fight the idea Of early
business for your boy. 1t is brains
that tell. The best businessman is the
man who puts most brain into hi:
business. Give your boy all the brain
YOU can-the business will come in full
time. Mental power will make your
boy leader in any line of business
or in any profession. You can't keef
down a brainy man. Therefore, edu
cate your boy-educste him thoroughly
1t will pay him and you in the end. II h'
has college aspirations foster them. lfht
lack them put them into his mind ant
heart. College education is very cheap
1t is wonderful what student can &c
for little money. My solicitude i!
that parents aud guardians shall not lie
this matter 60 by default. My advice
is, inquire, look, examine, decide-anC
that before another week shall pass.
