‘ An Outrage. V
The Hartford Courant says the follow-

rence by a Priest, between a man and l
his wife, comes to it well authenticated, '
and that it believes it to be true. It is
an impudent assumption of a. power
higher, than the laws, which deserves
universal condemnation. The idea that.
“any'Priesr. can threaten to banish a man J
and his wife, and to drive them from 5
place to place, because they will not pay
him ten dollars for performing a useless
ceremony, will not be tolerated }n this

Saturday “evening, Aug. 1], 1855,
David Dalton and Mrs. Mary King, of
this city, went before the Town Regis-
trar, declared their intentions of mar-_
riage, and were by him, as Justice of,’
the Peace, duly and legally inarried.
Sunday, Aug. 12, the very Rev. l~liiglii>s, [l
pastor of the Catholic Church, lllf0l'lll(’.Ll
Mr.,aud Mrs. Dalton that they were not
married—were no better than the l)t‘=1Si-5
of the field—were living a life of prosti-
tution, but that he would marry ilii-in all
right for ten dollars, and they must. pay
that or he would lialli..-li them from l*Id1't-
for-d,;md that wilt-i'-rcr they went he
would have them baiiislied, unless they
“paid him the 510. The man Dalton, lic-
iug a poor, laboring man, had not $10
to spare, but told Father Hiiglics he
pay him five or even six dollars, but he
could pay him no more. The Rev.
Hughes said. " No, not a cent less than
1310," and then took‘ froiu Dalton the
marriage certificate he had; and although
urged and requested to return it, refused,
and turned Mrs. Dalton out of the house,
and said they should not be allowed to
live in Hartford.
The above can be substantiated by the
oath of the parties. Mrs, Dalton told
Hughes that she would publish him if
he did not return her marriage certificate-
Hughes said, “ I will publish and banish
you, in Church next Sunday.” -
Death of Abbott La\vre,nce.
VV‘e learn with great regrei,froin a
private telegraphic despach, that the
Hon. Abbot Lawrence died at his resi
deuce in Boston about 11 o’clock_this
morning. He had suffered a long and
painful illness, and although hopes of a
favorable change were entertained up t.o
a recent period, the result was not unex-
pected. He had lost coiiciousness some
houi's before his death, and his last ino-
ments were not apparently attendedwitli
much bodily pain.
Mr. Lawrence was born at Groton,
Mass‘ in the year 1792. He has for
many years been eminent among the
merchant princes, and wealthy manu-
factures ofNew England, and has taken
an important part in promoting the pros-
perity of Boston and of the State of
Massacliusetts' He was well informed
in public affairs, and his views were al-
ways enlightened and patriotic.
Under President Taylor’s Adminis-
nation he was appointed Minister for
the United States at the Court. of St.
James, and he tilled-iliat high oficc with
great dignity and much ability, and with
praisewortliy solicitude to promote and
maintain the iriost friendly relations
with the G-ovcriiment to whom he was
accredited. His death will be siiicercly
lane" widely lainented.

Flour Speculations.
The Bufalo Republic has an article
in the issue of Aug. 23, that proves
pretty conclusively the truth of their at-
ticlg of last Spring, that the supply of
breadstiilfs was ample for all home de-
marid, and that every penny charged
for flour over and above a fair export
price, has been so much money taken
out of the pockets of the consumers for
the benefit of the speculators. The
Republic says :
“That during the present Summer, on
the 1,-500,000 bmrcls 7-cceivecl by the
Stale (if Ncizo Y or/c, t/toougk the 7Z07‘Z/l-
cr/2; borders, consmzzcrs have been SVVIN-
DLED our on BETWEEN THREE AND FOUR
MILLIONS or DOLLARS. The produce
trade of 18-55 has been an exception to
all former years, as well as to all laws
regulating such transactions. The law
of supply and demand has been kept
completely out of sight, and has had no
more effect than the Fugitive Slave
Law in Canada. The crop of 1854 has
been exclusively controlled by a limited
number of persons who have sent it for
ward in just such qtiautitics as they re-
quired, and in no- greater——who have
held it ]llSl as long as they desired and
no longer, and who have sold when they
cotild get their price, and stored when
they could not, just as it suited their
own convenience. There has been ct
pelfccf, uzzderstarzclzbzg among the deal-
ers from the covmnencement. Coinbi—
nations and rccombinations have been
formed for the purpose of keeping prices
up, and the banks have aided to the full-
est extentin carrying out the plan.»-
That it has roved successful is notori-
P
oiis, but that much money has been made
out of the operation, save by the farm-
ers, we are not disposed to admit. The
sieculators have oversliot the mark and
l V _ . .
the anxiety which they have suffered is
likely to prove their own reward.”
This is perfectly evident, says the
Tribune, or else the present prices could
not be maintained a single day. We do
not know but flour spec-ulatorsyare just
as honest any other set of men who
combine together to buy cheap and sell
deal‘, but the mass are apt to feel a rise
in flour much quicker than a rise in
stocks, VVe hope the product this year
of our fields will be so large that no
coiiibinatioii can control the market and
regulate the price.

RIDGEFIELD, Aug. 22d, 1855.
MESSRS. EDITORS :——In the Hatter’s
Jouriial, of yesterday, I noticed an arti-
cle headed “ pass him around ;” therefore
we would ask a favor of you to pass him
around a little more, that the public may
not be deceived.
On Thursday last a man came into
our village, “ minus baggage,” and gave
his name as Mr. Fisher, of the firm of
Chambers & Fisher, New York.
He wished to purchase two places of
residence, for himself and father.
He succeeded in purchasing houses
froui two of our most respectable citi-
Zens; ‘but as he paid no money, he of
course, received no deed.
Upon his informing the people of his
great wealth, and that he had purchased
a pair of horses for $800 iii Danbury, a
gentleman suspecting all was not right,
offered to go with him to Danbury, after
the said team. At the time appointed
for starting, Fisher was taken very sud-
denly ill in front of one of our physician’s
place of residence. The doctor gave him
some pills to take, and when his back
was turned, the miserable scarup drank
the water and put the pills, not into his
stomach, but into his vest pocket.
A messenger was then sent on to Dan-
bury, to see iftliese things were so; and
on arriving there found 'the story to be a
hoax throughout.
One of the said houses which the said
gentleman purchased was rather old,
and as he said, wanted to move it and
build a new one, to cost some $10,000.
He found a person to whom he sold the
house for $100. It was to be moved the
next week, in order that he might com-
mence operations for building.
His object was probably to get the
$100, then leave the house and town to
takecare of themselves.
He (Fisher) _was not quick enongli for
us; for the news came back Saturday,
just at dusk, that we had been hoaxed.
The young iuen then collected, got him
out of bed to pay his bills or leave town.
The former he agreed to do, but was not
able; they then proceeded to deal with
him in a summary mamier, the “ modus
nperandi” ofwiiich was as follows:
Being unable to procure a writ to at-
rest him, they procured tar and feathers,
witli'- the intention of giving him agrea§-
ing. The smell of the tar rather fright-
ened him, and he said if they would de-
sist he would glve his true name. They
concluded to comply with his request.—--
He said that he hailed from Betliel, his
name was Ralph Hine—his father died
in the poor-house,
He was then paraded up and down
the street, a few times, and the man was
finally tied~to a tree in front of one of the
houses which be had purchased, in order
that he might view it by the light of the
rising sun.
Sunday morning came, but the fellow
had concluded to make tracks, as he knew
that he would be kept there during Stilt-
day, and on Monday ‘ivoiild he rode on
a rail and drummed out of town.
So good people be on your guard for
iiriposters. A Looxnu-on.
John B. Gough.
A British Editor thus writes :-—Mr.
Gough has given his farewell addresses,
and received his farewell honors in the
VVesteru and Eastern capitals of Old
Scotland. It is impossible for language
to describe the impulse which his visit
has given to the cause of temperance
among us We have no doubt it has
hastened the arrival of a Maine Law by
a good number of years, besides bringing
joy to many thousands of hearts and
homes. We are glad indeed to know
that, if spared and able, in the course of
-a year this able orator may be expected
to re visit our shores. He has some en-
gageineiits to fulfil in London, and sails
for the United States on the 4th of Au
gust. He will not fail to be the object
of gratitude and of prayer on his voyage
and d|'ll'll'lg his absence, nor will the
\velcome be cold or doubtful with which,
should our God,so order it, he and his
devoted partner will be hailed on his
return.
fi£‘Mr.Gough arrived at Boston in the

a committee appointed by the Massachusetts
Temperance Association, and by numerous
private friends. He is now at his home in

was with- the utmost ditliculty that teams
could parts each other. Some five or .six hun-

We are glad to observe the safe return of
several of our prominent citizens who have
been absent for some days past. in various di-
rections, on Fishing Expeditions. The absence
offish, the cherry ndsal bulbs, and blistrred
brows with which they return, rather subjects
them to the “soft impeachment” of having
caught nothing but suckers. It is claimed
that the “ purple was brought to their faces,”
by promenading the sunny side of the Street,
with a Smith and other Ed-ifying companions.
We hope our genial Maine Law atmosphere
and cooling shades may restore their tell-tale
couutenances to their wonted line. We trust
our friend the Doctor will be suffered to pass
without suspicion of having yielded to him-
laiit weakness during his absence. The Sheriff
and our neighbor J ennirigs. having more color
in their faces than is by the law allowed,
will require our editorial endorsement, before
they can be received into full communion with
the abstemeous faithful, who have remained at

Rail Road Accident.
We happened to be an eye witness to the
horrors of the accident to the Hiu-hem rail
road train which run of!‘ the track at Williams
Bridge station on Wednesday last. A train of
gravel care was backing up towards the turn-'
out when an ox suddenly sprang upon _the
track, and before the train could be stopped,
the animal was knocked under the cars and
three in succession thrown down the embank-
ment. Two Irishmen were instantly killed and
two others who were frightfully mangled, died
in the course of a few hours. Some two or
three others who weremore or less bruised,
. are said to be recovering.

and take a “ salt sea btith,” all they have’ to
do is to carry chug of table salt under each
arm. Fie-—man—upon such feeble imitations.

all they have to do is to drop in at Clark’s
and behold the wonders of the silvcrsmith.—

the ladies also, on account of the extent, good
quality and astonishing cheiipness of his fancy
goods and dress trimmings.
if? It is said there is-less lavish dis-
play of finery at the watering places this
season than formerly, and that some la-
dies have even hadtlie moral courage to
appear in the same dress on two succes-
sive days! This is a dangerous symp-
tom. It looks like revolutions. If this
sort of thing goes on, and the fashiona-
ble ladies of our glorious Union should
become rational creatures, what is to be-
come of our great dry-goods establish-
ments? Where will oiir inilliners go?
The time has been when the stay of a
lady at a watering place was limited only
by the number of her dresses. As soon
as one had shown all she had, she took
her departure. Is this all to end‘! If
so, the day is not far distant when Stew-
art's marble palace may be turned into
a restaurant with a lager-bier saloon in
the basement.- -Life Illustrated.

Our usually quiet village
scene of great excitement during the
week ending August 18. On Wednes-
day and Thursday of last week, the Host
of our only Hotel was seen promenading
our beautiful street in company with a
very gentlemanly looking person, closely
inspecting the residences of our villagers,
This naturallyexcited curiosity, and the
question of “'Wlio is he ?” was asked of
Friend R-——-e. The reply was that
bis friend was. a Gentleman from New
York, wishing to purchase a site for a
country residence. The location of J.
S. B——-—y,:suited him admirably and
was soon purchased. He also purchased
the fine mansion and grounds of F. A.
R l,‘which he wanted merely to ac-
commodate his workmen while bauilding
his own splendid mansion, after that was
completed he should dispose of it to some
friend. Thepurcliase money was to he
paid on the delivery of the Deeds. The
name of this wealthy gnntleman was
given as Hiram Fisher, son of Mr. Fish-
er of the Firm of Fisher, Ci-ossmun 8:.
Co., extensive dealers in Silks and Hosi-
ery, in New York and San Francisco.
The Firm was represented to be-worth
$6,000,000. His brother married a
daughter of George Law, and was large-
ly engaged inthe Flour business in N.
Y. The plans of ‘the Gentleman were
readily communicated__to ‘our astonished
and awe struck citizens. He should
"erect, this Fall, a mansion on the place
liought of B p ., y, at It costof not less
than $50,000; also expend a like sum
on the grounds. The Home standing
was the
,on the ‘B. place he sold to a Mr. G-—-r,
an Artist boarding at Mr. R—-s’ Hotel.
He said that he had purchased in Dan-
bury a pair of fine Horses, for $800, and
should bring them here on Saturday.
You can imagine, Mr. Editor; that by
this time the citizens began to think that
Mr. Fisher was a person of no little im-
portance. The hospitalities of the place
were freely tendered him without re-
serve. The Hon. Mr. H t placed
himself and horse and carriage at the
command of the distinguished stranger.
Accordingly, on Friday, Mr. H -t
took the gentlemen into his carriage and
went with him to look up men and
teams to go to work on his newly pur-
chased property. This object accom-
plished, they proceeded to another sec-
tion of the town and engaged fifty bush-
els of Oats for the span of Bays. On
Friday Evening Mr. Fisher made a call
at the Post Ofiice and Shirt Manufactu-
ry, where he made himself very agreea-
ble aud was introduced to many of our cit-
izeus. He entertained the company
with reminiscenses of his travels in Eu-
rope, Australiaf‘ California, &c., where
he had travelled partly on business and
partly for pleasure. He also made sev-
eral calls in the course of the afternoon
on our merchants and business men, en-
_quiring about their business prospects,
&c. He proposed buying three hundred
dozen extra fine Shirts of Mr. S., as soon
as they could be got up. He engaged in
Clerk of one of our Merchants, at a sal-
ary of $800 for the first year ; and offer‘
ed to engage our worthy P. M. as Com-
mercial Traveller for the Firm in N. Y.
- Thus matters stood on Saturday mor-
ning, when it began to be whispered
around that there might be something
" Fishy” about Mr. Fisher. This sus-
picion was strengthened by hearing that
he said he had just received a letter from
his dear mother, saying that she was
happy to learn that he had found a desi-
rable location, and hoped he would spare
no pains or expense in fitting up the
same for her occu ation ; the letter also
informed him that his brother had been
speculating somewhat largely, and that
on Monday he lost the snug little sum of
$100,000. Our P. M. said that Mr.
‘Fisher had not received any letter
through ‘the Office. But as Mr. Fisher
had engaged Mr. G r to go with him
to Danbury after the Horses it would not
do to show any doubt on the subject yet.
Mr. G. being unable to procure a con-
veyance, Mr. H. oflered to go with his
own team. The offer was accepted.
But an uuforseen accident ‘occurred
which saved Mr. H. the ride. As the
gentleman was walking from his Hotel
to Mr. H’s _he was taken violently ill,
opposite the residence of Dr. K I.
The kind hearted happened to be at
home, and assisted the sick man into his
house, and administered to his wants in
the most skillful manner.
The illness of the gentleman was soon
known throughout the village, exciting
the sympathies of all.
M;-_ [-1, Mr, G,, our P. M.. and others,
called upon him and proffered all assist-
ance that lay in their power. The Skill
of the Dr. soon restored the Gent to a
more comfortable condition. In the af-
ternoon Mr. Fisher sent for Mr. H. and
the Town Clerk. He wished to engage
Mr. H. to go to New Haven on Monday,
(provided he should be unable himself,)
to draw the money, to pay for his places.
The Town Clerk was requested to as-
certain from-the Records that the titles
L0 the two places were perfect, also to
have the Deeds proberly drawn. AS 3
matter of course his requests were not
refused. In order to ascertain beyond a
doubt the truth or falsity of the asser-
uo}; of the Gent, Mr. L. went to Danbu-
ry, and on his return, about 9 P. M., we
were informed that Mr. Fishi.-r’s true.
name was Ralph Hiue, and that he was
an unmitigated scoundrel. You may
rest assured that the countenance of Mr.

would be in Winter with the zero 30 or
20 feet. deep, I know not. Quebac, I
will venture to say, is the most foreign
looking city in North America.’ As you
approach it going down the St. Law-
rence, it resembles. -very much the pic-
tures in the old Geography--the citadel
stands upon the Heights 500 feet above
the River. You cannot see the ‘City
unless you round the point‘ some fdlff or
five miles this side. The residence 0‘
the Governor General, Park, &c., can
be distinctly seen from the River. You
pass by the place where Gen. Wolfe as-
cended with his ar'my, and the Plains
of Abraham are visible above, upon
which the citadel stands. As you man.
the point, you get this first view of the
City, the walls, &c. Tndeineath you
see a horizon of buildings which is
called lower town. After landing and
taking a calash, you begin your ascent,
probably geing up Mountain Hill and
entering Prescott Gate. the first thing
after entering the Gate you A observe is
the ruins of the Parliament House,
whichgwaa burnt two Winters ago, it
was a beautiful building as will be seen
by the walls and ornaments now sund-
ing. After the burning of this building
the Parliament hired and removed" to a
new Convent Chapel, which in a few
months met with the same fate, of course
this as well as the Parliament Building
in Montreal, were set. on fire,
There are I great many points of in-
