Tho recent dry season had threat encd to parch up everything to so great an extent as to excito alarm, when shower on tho 25th ult, camo oppor tunely and abundantly. Prior to that revivifying rain, everything seemed as dry as tho dust in tho catacombs do scribed by tho Rev. J. DeLaunay in his recent lectures to our citizens. Our wells were drying up, and our cisterns had become exhausted. Our lields wore parched, and in patches tho grass had grown yellow and lifeless. Tho dust was plentiful and filled every nook and cranny in our pillage dry day fol lowed dry day and every thing wore a withered and crispy look. Tho ther mometer indicated heat ranging from 90 to 98 degrees in tho shade. If a fire had broken out while oven thing was in that liudcr-box condition, what would have been our present condition ? With no proper supply for the firo en gine wo have, with wells on tho public green and one fifty or sixty rods north and south scantily filled, what would our villagers havo dono in tho event that a brisk firo had broken out at midnight in any part of Main streot 1 Wo havo but recently read of tho burning of Qlcnns Falls, whero tho best part of that village was destroyed. Wo havo lately read of tho firo at Or well, and havo not wholly forgotten tho dreadful firo at Troy, a fow years ago, and still wo mako no provision for averting such a calamity in our largo villages ! Tho very statement of this want and danger ought to set in motion some speedy official action by which our perils from fire might bo averted. Oc casional talk about this and an edito rial reminder, now and then, do not answer tho purposo or avert tho dan ger. Talk is cheap editorials cost little, and aro seldom read, or if read, seldom heeded. Action is what in wanted, and action before it is too late. 13 IS it SON A I,. COIUUSl'ONIir.NtT.

Tho foregoing advertisement ap pears conspiciously in tho daily paper printed horo nnd wo ro-print it and givo it tho benefit of a frco passago in our columns for tho purposo of utter ing our protest against such impudent solicitations of correspondence from somo "young lady, educated and re filled, living in St. Albans, or vicinity.' Wo cannot boliovo that'any lady of ro- rofinomcnt or education enough to read and write would suffer herself to bo a dupo to such correspondence and do not suppose any lady of deli cacy could exchange photographs with an Indiana adventurer, such as this IloOsior evidently publishos himsolf to bo. Tho ndvertiser is cvidontly a Hoo sier who does not wish to correspond with an Indiana acquaintance who knows of his antecedents, but thinks, possibly, up among tho Green Moun tains thcro may bo sumo verdant young lady, educated and refined, who for the purposo of fun or to "while away somo of tho lonely horns of his soldier life" may be fool enough to exchange pho tographs and open a corrospondonco with this fellow in tho department of tho Gulf. This Hoosior, wo trust, will bo mis taken in supposing that any Vermont young lady will bo so groat a gudgeon as to bito at such n hook. The Hoos ierwould do well to attend to his milita ry business at headquarters exclusively and not dilly dally with matters of fun or funny correspondence until "this cruel war is over."

In calling attention to this notifica tion wo would, in tho same spirit which dictated our remarks in regard to at tending tho State Convention at Bur liugtnn, and tho District Convention at Hydcpark, urgently invito a full attend ance of tho people.

Chadwick of Willard's hotel, who acted as chief caterer of tho presidential party. Ho was received at City Point by Gen. Grant nnd con ducted to tho nontenant's general's headquarters. Another account says that tho president undertook to reach tlio general's tent by scrambling through a hedgerow and coining in tho back wav alono. He was stopped by ono of the hostlers, nnd told to "keep out of hero." Tho individual in black replied that ho thought Gon. Grant would allow him inside, and strode ahead. "You'll d d soon find out," was yelled in reply. On reaching the guard he -was stopped with, '-No san itary folks allowed insido." After somo parleying tho intruder was com pelled to givo his ntuno, announced himself to bo Abraham Lincoln, presi dent of tho United Statos, desiring an interview with Gon. Grunt. ..tho guard saluted and allowed him to pnss. Gon. Grant recognized him as ho stopped undor the lnrgo'lly" in front of Ins tent, roso and shook hands with him cordially, nnd then introduced him to such members of tho stuff as wero present and unacquainted. Af ter partaking of refreshments, tho pres ident and Capt. Fox accompanied Gen. Grant to tho front, a distanco of ten miles. Mr. Lincoln, on routo to tho front, passed tho colored troops in roviow. As soon as tho fact was mado known that tho tall stranger with Gon. Grant was tho president, they began to cheer. They camo rushing, and almost to tho horses' feet, by hundreds, screaming, yelling, shouting, "Hurrah for tho lib erator !" "Hurrah for tho prosident !" and wero perfectly wild with oxcito ment aud delight. It was a spontane ous outburst of genuine lovo and af fection for tho man they look upon as their "doliveror from bondage," and their wild huzzas wero perfectly deaf oning.
