Ouïe Hundred Years Aao. Last Fri
day, tho 4th instant, was just one liun
drou years since Gen. Audi
camped at "Fort Union," where Lewis
burg, Greenbrier county, W. Va., is situ
ated, on his way to Point Pleasant, where
a bloody and memorable battle was
fought on tho 10th of October, 1774, in
which, after ft desperate struggle, the In
dians were defeated. General Lewis was
nineteen days in marching his forces
through the then wilderness from * Fort
Union" to Point Pleasant.
Last Saturday was the centennial an
niversary of the meeting of the famous
Continnental Congress in Carpenter's
Hall, Philadelphia, in which the founda
tion! of our HopubU.c were laid. This
centenary was appropriately celebrated
iu that city on last Saturday by the an
cient and honorable Carpenters' company
who wero then and are now owners of the
famous building in which that Congress

LAWRENCE RIVERS—AN AMU8INO
INCIDENT I SOJOURN AT TUE
THOU84ND ISLANDS, &C.
From the Gazette's Traveling Corretpon lent.
Thousand Island House, )
Alexandria Bay, N. Y., >
September 8,1874. )
Leaving Syracuse we visited Fulton,
Oswego county, N. Y., where tho Genesee
river Hows in its rumbling, tumbling
course and pours its mass of water over
the precipice making the renowned
Genesee Falls, and where, in our Colo
nial history, men—heroes—appeared de
termined on liberty, independence, or
fall before the British bayonet, or pour
out their sacred heart's blood by the
scalping-knife of the savage.
Then, resuming our northward course,
we came to Oswego, tho great city of
Lake Ontario. It chanced to be a lively
day, when ther sweet notes of the brass
instruments, interspersed with the thun
dering and rattling of the drums accom
panying an excursion, made the city
lively and its men, women and children
dance for joy upon her streets and pub
lic parks.
Now putting ourselves in tho ewe of
the snorting steed, we speed our wuy up
the lake shore through the most level
country visite! in our travels, and ti e
one that looks most like my own native
State. Passing through this section we
noticed that the corn, dwarf and puny,
was almost ready to be gathered, und
the hundreds of hop fields loaded with
their beautiful green flowers, hanging
from slender stems, tossed to and fro by
the western breeze, were ripe and full
for harvest.
We must see tl.
a
Black river with its
hundred little falls, and so we stopped
over at Watertown, the county seat of
Jefferson county, a beautiful, wealthy,
industrious and enterprising city.
We cannot now dwell upon these cities
but pass rapidly on to tho St. Lawrence
river, where we inado the happy change
the dirty, dusty ears, to the h- .
some lino of stean e s that ply heuw 3 n
Toronto and Quebec, having to skim the
Thousand Islands and plunge itself with
its hundreds of precious souls down tho
great rapids, the terror and fright of the
Indians and all that trust themselves in
it3 mad, leaping current.
We have often heard it whispered in
society, "what intimacy exists between
the ladies and gentlemo» of Yankee
dom, " which has often been and more
especially was demonstrated to us on the
boat that bore us down the beautiful St.
Lawrence. As we reaclu'd the upper
deck and was walking to the stern of the
boat we noticed quite a handsome gen
tleman and a pretty lady sitting on &
tete-a-tete, seemingly very affectionate.
He, by accident or otherwise, got his arm
around her, vyh|\o she leaned a little to
ward^ ldm, in fui t, seemed to bo in her
Jury, and with her soft, sweet voice and
black, piercing eyes, enraptured her vic
tim ; while Cupid's arrows, os it were,
passed rapidly from heart to heart.
Thinking that perhaps it was * bridal
couple on their tour, those old familiar
words came up,:
"Hoar tho inollew wedding bells !
Golden bells !
world of happines their harmony
foretell? !
Through the bntuiy air of night,
ihey ring out their delight."
A fine looking gentleman from Water
town, whom we ehanegd to meet, sat in
conversation at GUV sido, while the smoke
from l\iq cigar curled gracefully in the
he cast a sheep's eye occasionally
at the lady, which was very cunningly
returned, and he remarked that "he
would like to put. himself in his place."
Presently the gentleman yacatod his seat
at the lady's side upd walked slowly down
stairs, while my friend, drawing a card
frqm his pocket, gracefully stepped up
Vo the lady and altered it to her and at
tho same time seated himself on the tete
a-tete at her side, while she, refusing the
card, politely said, in response to his
question, that she had no objection to

disposed to give up the shij), but remain
ed at his position till a moment when her
follow, seeing from the lower deck what
was going on, quickly jumped upon tho
railing and witn one leap landed upon
tho upper deck, turned to the scene of
action and told tho gentleman that ho
had business with hint down stairs, and
off they both went amid tho uproar and
langhtey or the company. On further
information wo learned that tho new ac
quaintance would have been acceptable
had it not been that the gentleman, who
was only a friend to the lady, was of eo
jealous a nature. It was a capital joko
and too good to lose.
Time passed rapidly, apd scene after
sjono, upon both tho American and Ca
nadian shore flitted by us until we found
ourselves passing the Thousand Islands
We soon landed at Alexandria and pro
ceeded to the Thousand Island House,
the beat and largest hotel on the bay,
and being somewhat hungry took a good
squai'3 meal, which is served here three
times a day. The hotel is 274x50 with an
of 100x40 feet, accommodating about
six hundred guests ami has been full all
tho season.
On the following day, O. A. Nott, Esq.,
one of the proprietors of the hotel, a
good, genial fellow, took our party to
visit several of tho islands in a row boat.
Wo landed on Nobby, Welcome, Manhat
tan, West Point, Pullman and several
others. On most of the islands aro cot
tages built for the summer season. Land
ing on Pullman's Island, where President
Grant and other distinguished men vis
ited in 1872, and as the cottage has not
been occupied since, we were curious to
, ami after trying all the
keys at our command we effected an en
trance. We saw the room as Grant had
left it. A button and a paper of August,
1872, was found upon the floor, and in the
wall were the nails upon which he
stretched the stars and stripes. Enter
ing another room, evidently occupied by
lady, we found several papers folded
and creased in fan shape, which were
id in the primitive days of the Grecian
Bend. The paper busiuess has, howev
er, been superceded by steel bands.
Among these papers we found the
Watertown Reunion of July 18th, 1872, in
which was published the letter of Sena
tor Bayard of July 11th, 1872, the same
year, to his party in Delaware, in which,
as all will remember, he advised the par
ty that as Greeley had been selected at
the Cincinnati and Baltimore Conven
tions, and as it was tho last and only re
endeavor to defeat Grant, that
they should sustain the nomination. We
also saw the boats in which the guests of

place. I here is so much to be seen, it
rru 0 nicost Place» we have yet
visited. The scenery is picturesque and
grand. Every one feels fully paid for
stopping here. The attractions are far
superior to those at Saratoga. The Is
lands are of all sizes, solid rock, with
trees planted and arranged beautifully
by the hand of nature, and the river is
one of the finest streams in America.
l he water is as clear as a crystal and
abounds in black boss, pickerel and rnua
calougo ot the best quality and size, and

lightful stream for boating and there is
always some now place to visit. In be

The Colorado Victory.
The Democratic victory in Colorad..
is only in keeping with Ihe change
that is steadily and surely being
wrought in the political sentiments ot
the country. In 1«70 the Republicans
carried the election in t liât Territory
by a majority of 1,392 in a vote of only
11,508, and the Territory again went
Republican only two years ago by a
majority of l,i)30. Colorado, to In
sure, is at present only a Territory, id
though she has the requisite population
to make her eligible to admission as a
Sti',o. The decision of Colorado would
make very little difference, therefore,
in a Presidential election, but when tin
verdict is rendered so long a time in
udvancc it cannot fail to produce
effect. And when that verdict is a
versai of two successive judgements
rendered in favor of the other side it
certainly possesses an uncommon sig
nificanee and will be felt accordingly.
The Grant party must now begin to
realize that there is, after all, such
thing ns official accountability left i
tile politics of this country, and that
people are not yet prepared to sub
to the rule of a ring of politicians
which amounts to little less than a dic
tatorship.
Poland has been pickled in Vermont,
Butler is buffeted in Massachusetts,
Broomwell is beaten in a Republican
Territory.
Colorado, Massachusetts, and Ver
mont may all lie Democratic States
together long before tho other milieu
nium comes. Colorado sees
ay the tide is running, and is steering
tier bark accordingly.
It is gratifying to know that if this
beautiful, enterprising and rapidly
growing Territory is really to he ad
mitted as a State, we shall he aide to
welcome her as a Democratic sister,
a id that she will be ready to
herself against corruption in our Fed
oral polities, and in favor of maintain
ing a wise, simple, efficient, Democratic
government.— World.

Hate to Estimate the Profits of
a Farm.
Tire farmer lives in his own liounc.
Tho use of the house, which lie does not
pay for, is as much a part of his income
ay tho money which a salaried man pays
for rent, is of his, and should lie counted
as such in an estimate of the profits of 11
farm. All things produced on a farm
and consumed on the farmer's table, in
cluding the vegetables from the garden,
the egga and milk used in cooking,
much a part of his income as the money
paid for such things out- of his salary is
of tho salaried man. If a former gives
his wife and children a pleasant rido to
town, using his own horseh and wagon,
tho value of their use is paid of his in
come from his farm, os truly os the mon
ey tho other man pays out of his salary
for carriage hire is of his. Tho correct
rule for estimating tho income from a
farm is substantially this : Give credit
for every article produced, used
pended m any way whatever, no matter
how small in value, as well as for cash
received for products sold, and for the
increase in value of farm property, and
charge against tho farm for interest
capital invested, and for all the expendi
tures. The farmer that will do this
f *om year to year, will not so much feel
like complaining of tho unprofitableness
of farming as compared with other pur
suits. The fact is that not one in a hun
dred fanners take into consideration the
luxury and comforts of fresh eggs, but
ter, milk, fruits, etc., that they would
have to pay high prices for if they lived
in towns, or do without them.
