miles from any habitation; and there wrs
only two drivers and myself to right things.
We had a lively time of it. .
But then a similar catastrophe happened
to me at home, when, having been favored
by a neighbor with the loan of his blind
horse,on returning from Norwalkwith a load
' i of grdcerics for homeconsumption, leaving
' the animal for a moment,untied on the edge
of Five -Mile,_,River, the enterprising beast
-,-, twalk‘ed directly overboard and plunged the
whole load into the creek. -
It Was on a Summer afternoon, the tide
was low, the submerged articles not perish‘
able, so the whole thing passed 011' as a joke;
many sympatising neighbors around. BM
then that was not the fault of the road.

The beauty of the landscape on the road
from Fort Union to Santa Fe, will be remem-
bered by all who have seen it. The green
lawns on either side of the road are as level
and as clean as an English park, the green
grama grass is short, entirely free from
weeds, or mixture with any other grasses,
runs close up to the cedar and pine trees
without leaves or other rubbish to mar the
perfect cleanliness. The trees are ever green
the middle ground rolling, and the distant
lofty mountains, usually snow capped. To
come upon such scenery after a long tramp,
or ride across the level monstrous prairie, is
delightfully refreshing. The only drawback,
and it is a serious one, is the want of water
The streams were nearly oil dry when we
passed although there had been nearly two
weeks of rainy season. Beds of streams,
some of which must be torrents after heavy
rains, were to be seen iin' every valley, but
they showed no other signs of water than
the deep cut arroyias at' their bottoms and
the high strongly marked furrows at their
sides.

What a thing it is to be popular! 0n nry
arrival at Santa Fe I found no less than
three of the papers, two democratic and one
republican, con tained “flattering” notices of
me. One called me “the carpet bugger mem-
ber of the Indian Ring,” another, “the notc-
rious chief of demagogues,” and the third
(republican,) “that philanthropic humbug.”

Our Agricultural Fair.
In twoweeks from to-day, the annual ex-
hibition of our County Fair, will open. The
various committees havcbeen appointed and
although it has not been advertised as efi‘ecta
ually as it would pay to do it, yet we are
confident we shall have an unusually large
attendance and satisfactory exhibition. We
are promised' reforms of several abuses
which crept in last year and we shall very
much mistake, if good order and good mor-
ality are not effectually maintained this year.
The time of the Fair is rather early, yet this
is favorable to good weather and early as it
is, it will not-prevent our farmers and fruit
culturists from spiritedly competing.
In the matter of horses and animals, we
are assured that no previous Fair will equal
the display. The herd of Mr. Ketchum's
Duchess breed of short horns, is expected to
be present, and there are no finer stock in
all England, where the breed originated and
was bred with scrupulous care for more than
a century; Ours is the richest Agricultural
:,V1 and _Horticultural Co. in the state and we
should leaf the entire state in all that per-
tains to a creditable fair, and we doubtless
‘ ; will excqed all other county societies.
~ ' We refer to the matter at this length in Or-
der to spfécially call the attention of the ex-
hibitors to the near approach of the day.
Farmers, manufacturers, artizans and all
producers, should at once set themselves
- earnestly to work to prepare something to
aid the exhibition. The County Fair is as
Mr. Lincoln said of the government, of the
people, by the people, and for the people.
The premium and committee lists have been
carefully‘revised and are more nearly per-
fect than ever before.With anything like ener-
getic action an unprecedentedly fine show
may be secured.

The 1 7th Voluncunion.
The fifth annual reunion was held at
Westport, and right royally did the good
people of that town receive and entertain
the veteran soldier-boy. . They were met at
the Saugatueledepot by a committee of citi-
zens and Compo Engine Co. No. 2, and es-
corted to the village, where a rather diver-
vérsified programme of sports were inaug-
urated for the amusement of the crowd, such
as an exciting tub race, skili‘raee,blind-fold--
ed boat race, &c. After a short time of re-
laxation and sight-seeing on'tlle bridge, the
boys repaired to National Hall over the
Bank, for the election of officers and trans- '
action of business. The Rev. Mr. Davenport
invited the divine blessing, when the roll
was read. and the followin oflicers chosen
for the ensuing year ;—-
President—Gen. W. H. Noble.
Vice Presidents—Lieut. Height, Gen.
G. Brady. .
Corresponding Secretary—Dent. George
C.
Peck.
Recording Secretar —-T. Donovan.
Treasurer—Lieut. . W. Peck.
Execuive Committee-Lieuts. Haight and
McDonough, and Sergeant Crowe.
Some two hundred members of the rcgi:
ment were present. The invitation to hold
its next reunion at Greenwich was received
and accepted with a round of cheers fo r
Greenwich. The thanks of the associataon
were voted to Westport for its cordial wel-
come, and to Captain Burr for an eflicicnt
discharge of the duties of President.
Headed by the Howe Cornet Band, of
Bridgeport, the Association marched to Myr-
tle Grove, where an ample collation was
spread beneath the trees.
The tables were presided over by-the good
ladies of . Westport, and although the boys
charged furiously on the tables at first, it
was plain to be seen that they had an ap-
preciative eye to the fair dames supplying
them with edible ammunition,until at last,the
interest seemed to center in the fair forms
flitting before them, rather than in the viands
they brought. At the close of the table ex-
ercises, Gen. Noble introduced Comrade
Lees, who read the appropriate Ode, printed
on the outside of to-day’s paper, and writ-
ten by John H. Treadwell, Esq, of Westport,
and dedicated to the 17th. After this, Dr.
Hill was‘called out, and then Major Middle-
brooks, and others, until the time came for
the boys to “break ranks” and leave fo.r
their homes. The morning was lowering,
but the sun broke away and the boys all say
that the reunion at Westport was really one
of the most enjoyable they ever held.
T. Burr, a son of Capt. Burr, won the first
prize in the tub race, and Chas. I-I. Kemper
the 2d. '
Chas. Allen won the first prize in blind-
folded rowing match and George Dickinson
and John Robinson, both claiming the sec-
ond prize. It was divlded between them.

race.

Superior Court doings the past week :-—
Reuben_A Rogers was triedon Monday,
found guilt of incest, and sentenced to
threeyears Imprisonment.
The grand Jury Wednesday found a true
bill for murder in the second de rec against
Mrs. Rider. It will recollectc hat she is
charged with causing the death of Mrs.
Christian Stone about one month since, by
an attempt to procure an abortion.
Henry Birdsell wa’s arraigned on charges
of house-breaking. He plead guilty and
was sentenced to two years in the State
Prison. .
For cold-blooded swindling commend us
to the restaurants on board of some of the
Albany steamers. Passengers are taken in
anddone for with a vengeance. Meals are
furnished on the European (‘9) plan—pay for
what you call for, and if you do call for
anything you will certainly have a bill to
pay. It is astonishing how valuable eatables
of all kinds become soon as the boat is fair-
ly out in the stream. Possibly one reason
may be that they charge by the hour for the
time they keep you waiting. A moderate
eater stands no chance of getting anything,
and one trip would ruin an epicure. On
the Sound they do these things differently.

GROWING POND LlLlES.-On seeing my
dish of pond lilies and admiring their beau-
ty and fragrance, I asked, why is the pond
lily so little cultivated? a flower so much
admired and so easily grown, yet in many
places so rare. The answer was: It is not
universall known that it can be grown so
easily. lI' any ask the question, where did
you get those pond lilies? We tell them we
raise them. “What, raise pond lilies? We
reply, yes—raise them as easily as corn or
potatoes. And as many seem interested
about them, I thoughtI would tell the lov-
ers of flowers how we raise ours. A few
years ago, my husband seeing some growing
in a distant pond so nicely and spontaneously
thought he would try them in his —-a small
pond of a few rods extent at one end of his
field. He brought home a root anti set it
in. This was done by wading in barefoot
and taking it between the toes and pressing
down in the mud. Itsoon made its appear-
ance above the water, and now the pond
is pretty well covered with leaves and lilies,
and it does not. have that sickenino appear-
ance that standing water usually has, but is
made the home of one of the most beautiful
kinds of flowers instead. We know of no
insect that troubles them; neither frost nor
wind affects them; nothin molests them
but mischievous boys, whoIove the flow ers,
and will take no ains to raise them them-
selves—Maine owner.

A Good Way to Get Out oflt.
I remember one of those rare instances in
the experience of country printers, says
Whitelaw Reid in his Editorial Reminis-
cences," a man came into the office to
thrash Inc. 'I had then arrived at the ma-
ture ace of eighteen but I was not as vigor-
'ous as I am now. In the course of some
police items in a country town, I had occa-
sion to say that a Dutch butcher, height
six feet, aged 39, weighed 209, had whipped
his wife, a proceeding to which I objected,
and commented on with severity, which I
hope the enlightened pressof the country
will always exhibit on such occasions.
The next day the butcher came in and
proposed to “interview” the writer of that
paragraph. He looked at me and inquired
if I wrote it. W e think quick in great
perils and people in danger of being thrash-
ed can do a very small amount of ratiocina-
tion in a short time. I saw there was no
II'se of arguing with this fellow, and I said to
im:
“Igns, are you a subscriber to this pa-
per ’ '
Hans, who understood thoroughly that
he had been maligned, was not so sure on
the subject of subscription, and he shook his
head and asked me what I meant.
"Hans, are you a subscriber to this pa-
per ‘2”
Hans scratching his head again and be-
lieved he was not. I said, loudly :
“Put your hand in your pocket-book and
tion. Until you do, I would like to .know
what business it is of yours what we say ‘2”
I escaped the thrashing that time, and
commend it to the attention of all who put
such things in their papers . . .

Seamus on RanwAv Cans—Mr. Howells,
in his genial half-story and-halI-easy, “Their
Wedding J ourney” in the September Atlan-
tic sketches as follows the every-day scenes
on the cars, which everybody will recognize.
“Yes, it is a very amusing world, if you
do not refuse to be amused; and our friends
were very willing to be entertained. They
delighted in the very precise, thick-fingered
old ladies who bought sweet apples of the
'boys who came aboardwith baskets,and who
were so long in finding the right change
that our travelers leaping in thought with
the boys from the moving train, felt that
they did so at the peril of their lives. Then
they were interested in people who went
out and found their friends vi aitilig for them,
or else did not find them and wandered dis-
consolately up and down before the country
stations, can pe'bag in hand ; in women who
came aboard and were awkwardly shaken
hands with or sheepishly kissed by those
who hastily got seats for them, and placed
their bags and their babies .in their laps,
and turned for a nod at the door ; in young
ladies who were seen to places by young
men (the latter seemed not to care if the
train did go off with them), and then threw
up their windows and talked with girl
friends on the platform without till the
train began tomove, and at last turned with
gleaming eyes and moist red lips, and pant-
ed hard in the excitement of thinking about
it, and could not calm themselves to the
dull level of the travel around; in the con-
ductor, coldly and inaccessibly vigilant as
he went his rounds, reaching blindly for
the tickets with one hand, while be bent
his head from time to time and listened with
passengers who supposed they were going
to get some information out of him ; in the
train-boy, who passed through on his many
errands with prize can lies, gum-drops, pop-
corn, papers and magazines, and distributed
books and the police journals with a blind
impartiality or a prodigious ignorance or a
supernatural perception of character in
those who receive them.”

and sailed down the coastto Charlottetown where
we arrived soon after 10 o’clock. p. m. Where to put
up was a question difficult to answer. The saloons of
the Princess were filled with cards of Boarding
Houses and Hotels, all-very attractive, and more in
number than we supposed there were houses in the
place. We finally decided on the nearest, the Re-
vereflouse, anewflotel opened that day, and “con-
ducted‘on the American Plan,"whtcli seems as popu-
lar in the Provinces as the "European Plan ” in the
States. ,‘We‘recelved good atteiltlon, and very fine
accommodations here during our stay,——mueh bets
ter than we feared. , . ' .
Charlottetown has grown into a city of 8.0001n-
habitants, and is much the largest place on the
Island. "It has-a very fine land-locked harbor and
Is engaged in commerce, ship building, fishing, etc.
The streets are laid out at right angles, with one
large park in the center of the city, and four smaller
ones on the corners; In' the main park is a large
market building, the Post Office, a large stone Gov-
ernment building, and a large brick building in course
of erection. The houses are chiefly of wood, but
there is considerable building going on now, and
many of the new edifices are of brick. A steam ferry
boat plies between the city and the opposite side of
the harbor; which is well patronized. The streets
are lit with gas, and there is a well organized fire de-
partment. With a *stepmer and three hand engines.
There are six newspapers here,—-one for each day of
the week,—of the usual size of our country weeklles,
and all faring about as well. How they all manage
to live is a finystery, or would be, rather, it it cost
much to live there, and labor was worth anything.
John Inge, however, who is “Printer to the Queen,”
seems to flourish. and owns one of the pleasantest
residences in the city, overlooking the harbor.
Prince Edward Island has recently attracted much
attention on account of its delightful temperature
in summer, and the quiet beauty of its landscape.
Some of its enthusiastic admirers pronounce it "The
Garden of America" and consider it a charmingplace
of summer resort for invalids or for overworked per-
sons needing rest and quiet. It is never very hot,
and the nights are always cool. There is seldom,
some say never, any fog on the island, which is very
remarkable indeed, for on the main coast the fog and
mist Is so frequent that almost every native you meet
on the cars or boat. carries an indie rubber coat with
him no matter how bright the sun is shining when
he leaves home. A' ride out into the middle of the
island is delightful? There is no wild, grand scenery
but; the combination of cultivated fields. forests. hill
and dale, river and ocean, is charming. Hon. Neal
Dow, who rode out. just ahead of us, pronounced it
equal to the best of English landscape. The roads
are very fine, far superior to country roads in New
England; they are wide, straight, well rounded, free
of stones, and kept in excellent condition, very cred-
itable to the people. The soil is a sort of reddish
loam, quite rich. The land is well cultivated, and
bears goo‘d crops. Grass, especially, was very fine,
and almost entirely free from daisies. Potatoes do
exceedingly well, but not much corn is planted, as
the season is too short. The people generilly seem
industrious, intelligent and prosperous. Two days
in the week the large market is thronged with people,
buying and selling produce, fish, etc. We passed an
hour or so pleasantly there, and to give an idea of
the cost of living on the Island we will name the
prices of a few articles sold here,stating values in our
currency :—-good mtlcu cows bring about 825 each;
the best of lamb 9 cents per 1b.: best cuts of beef
from 8 to 12 cents; ve :1 is a drug; lobsters are very
plenty and only worth about three cents each; fresh
mackerel and codfish are not sold by weight, but
bring from four to six cents each, certainly not more
than two cents per lb.; eggs twelve cents per dozen;
butter seventeen cents per 1b.; and other articles in
proportion. The island is noted for fine oysters
which are said to be abundant in the harbors, and
are quite largely exported to the other Provinces.
The island does not belong to the Dominion of
Canada, but has a local government of its own, and
the people are quite proud of their “independence."
There are two political parties, and politiéal excite-
ment seems to run as high as in the States, or even
more so. Lately there has been much agitation, and
much feeling over a proposed Government railroad.
which culminated this summer by the passage
through the local “ Parliament” of an act. to build a
railroad through the center of the island from one
end to the ’other. When we arrived news had just
been received that the Government had accepted
the “ tenders” of an English firm and awarded them
the contract to construct the road for the sum of
£3.000 per mile. There was a strong minority against
the road, believing It unnecessary and that it
" would not pay," while the majority seemed enthu-
siastic in its favor.
We saw no drunkenness on the Island, but found
the Temperance cause in a flourishing condition.
The day after our arrival 11 annual Temperance
Convention was held in Chat ottetown. and the eve-
ning, at the Athcnteum, Hon. Neal Dow, of Maine,
addressed a public meetlnn. We attended and were
very much pleased; the address was capital and de-
lighted the audience. Our temperance folks would
do well to secure him for a meeting in N orivalk.
The meeting closed with the familiar hymn “Ameri-
ca,”— only it was not America, after all, but ” God
Save the Queen.” The Island boasts of forty-four
Divisions Sons of of Temperance; sixty lodges of
“ British Order of Good Templar-s.” and f9rty of In-
dependent Order OI Good Template. Masons and
Odd Fellows also have a foothold on the Island.
The communication with the mainland is quite
good during the summer, a line of steamers making
trl-weekly trips from Shedlae to Pictou, stopping at
Charlottetown, so that a ‘ steamer leaves every
day for either New Brunswick orN ova Scotla. There
is also a steamer-once a week fi'em Boston via Itali-
fax. The winter season, however. In very long, and
for several months there is no communication with
the mainland except by means of ice boats. During
the four month that they are thus “shut in,” and no
farm work can be done, the people must find it very
difficult to employ or to amuse themselves, as there
are no manufactorles. It is said to be so dull that
places of business are only kept open three or
four hours during the middle of the day. The peo—
ple manage to exist, however, and probably make
good use of their time. We saw one young woman
carrying a spinning wheel on her shoulders t'o'the
ferry, and that instrument probably furnishes music
lninany honsehol ds'dnring the dull Winter months.

S'r. TnomW. 1., via HALIFAX—Another
hurricane has swept over this important is-
land, overturning every house and laying
the place in ruins. Closely following in the
wake of the hurricane came an awful gale
from the southeast and south which raged
for several hours. During the hurricane in‘
the afternoon, several shocks of earthquake
rendered more dreadful the situation of the
people, who were hearing overhead the crash
of the roof torn by the hurricane, and oblig-
ed to feel at the same time. While under foot
the foundations of their shelves were shak-
en by the earthquake. Hundreds of dwell-
ings have been swept away, and nota house
has been left standing undamaged on this
distressed island; Some SIX thousand peo-
ple have been left houseless and destitute and
nearly one hundred and fifty persons have
been killed and mangled. or disabled by.
houses blown down. or brick and tiles fly-
ing thickly all around during the hurricane.
Already some thirt corpses have been drag-
ged from under t e ruins, which, in the
shape of trees, fences, shattered houses and
heaps of bricks and tiles, strewn throughout
the streets,‘ofi‘er*a’ sight of perfect desolation.

The (leans and Cure of Consumption.
The rimarycause of Consumption is derangement
of the lgestive organs. This derangement produces
deficient nutrition and assimilation. By assimila-
tion I mean that process by which the nutrimcnt of
the food is converted into blood, and thence into
the solids of the bod . Persons with digestion
thus impaired, having t e slightest predispos tion to
pulmonary disease. or if they take cold, will be very
liable to have Consumption of the Lnnus in some of
its forms :and I hold that it. will be impossible to
cure any case of Consumption without first restor-
ing a good digestion and ealthy assimilatude. The
ver first thing to be done is to cleanse the s omach
an bowels from all diseased mucus and slime which
is clogging these oroans so that they cannot perform
their tunctions, and then rouse up and restore the
liver to a healthy action. For this purpose the
surest and best. remedy is Schenek’s Mandrake Pills.
These Pills cleanse the stomach and bowels of all
the dead and morbid slime that is causing disease
and decay in the whole s stem. They will clear out
the liver of au diseased lie that has @umnlated
there, and arouse it u to a new and healthy action,
by which natural and ealthy bile is secreted.
The stomach, bowels. and liver are thus cleansed
by the use of Sehenck's Mandrake Pills ; but there
remains in the stomach an exces of acid, the organ
is torpid, and the appetite is poor. In the bowels,
the Iacteals are weak, and requiring strength anti
support It. is in a condition‘like this that Schenck’s
Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valuable rem-
edy ever discovered. It is alkaline, and its use will
neutralize all excess of acid, making the stomach
sweet and fresh ; it will give permanent tone to this
important organ, and create a good, hearty appetite,
and prepare the system for the first process of a
good di cstlcn, and ultimately make good, healthy,
living lood. After this preparatory treatment,
what remains to cure most cases of consumption is
the free and persevering use of. Schenck’s Pulmonic
Syrup. The Pulmonie Syrup nourishes the system,
purities the blood, and is readily absorbed into the
circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased
lungs. There it ripens all morbid matters, whether
in the form of abscess or tubercles, and then assists
Nature to expell all the diseased matter in the form
of free cxpectoration, when once it ripens. It is
their, by the great healing and purifying properties
of Schenck’s Pulmouic sdvrupdbut all ulcers and cavi-
ties are healed up soun , and my patient is cured.
The essential thing to be done in curing Con-
sumption Is to get up a ootl appetite and a good
digestion, so that. the ho y will grow in flesh and
get strong. If a person has diseased lungs, a cavity
or abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the matter
cannot ripen, as long as the system is below par.
What is necessary to cure is a new order of things, a
good tip elite, a good nutrition, the body to "row in
flesh on not tat ; then Nature is helped. t e cavi-
ties will hcat, the matter will ripen and be thrown
ofi‘in large quantities, and the person regain health
and strength. This is the true and only plan to
cure C :nsumplion, and lfa. person is very ad. if the
lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even if one lung
is entirely gone. it there is enough vitality left in
the other to heal up, there is hope.
I have seen many perenus cured with only one
sound lung, livlng and enjoy life to a nod old age.
This is what Scheuck’s medicines ivll do to cure
Consumption. They will clean out the stomach,
sweeten and strengthen It, get up a good digestion,
and give Nature the assistance she needs to clear the
system ofallthe disease that is in the lungs, what-
ever thc form may be.
It; is important that, while using Schenck’s medi-
cines, care should be exercised not to take cold, keep
ln-doors in cool and damp weather; avoid night air,
and take out-door exercise only in a genial and
warm synshine.
I wish it distinctly understood that when I recom-
mend u. patient to be careful in regard to taking cold
while using my medicines, I do so for a special rea-
son. A man who has but partially recovered from
the cfi‘ccts ofa bad cold is far more liable to a re-
lapse than one who has been entirely cured, and it is
rccisely the same in regard to consumption. So
ong' as the lungs are not perfectly healed, just so
long is there imminent dancer ofa in I return ofthe
disease. Hence it. is that fso strenuously caution
pulmonary patients_aguinst ex os‘ng themselves to
'an atmosphere that is not genln and pleasant. Con-
firmed consumptives’ lungs are a mass of sores,
which the least chance of atmosphere will Infiame.
The rand secret of my success with my medicines
cons ate in my ability to subdue inflammation instead
:of provoking it, as runny of the faculty do. An in-
flamed lung cannot With safety to the patient be ex-
posed to the biting blasts of winter or the chilling
winds of spring or autumn. It should be carefully
shielded from all irritating influences. The utmost
caution should be observed in this particular, as
without it a cure under almost any circumstance ls
an impossibility. « '. .
The person should be kept on a wholesome and
nutritious diet, and all the medtcines continued
until the body has restored to it the natural quantity
of flesh and strength.
I was myself cured by this treatment of the 'worst
kind of Consumption. and have lived to get- fut and
hearty these many years, with one lung mostly gone.
I have cured thousands since, and verv many have
been cured by this treatment whom'I have never
seen.
About the first of October I expect to take possess-
ion of m new building at. the north-east corner of
Sixth an Arch streets, where 1 shall be pleased to
give advice to all who may require it.
~Full- directions accompany all my remedies, so that
a person in any part of the world can be readily
cured by a strict observance of the same.
