The patient is now doing well. The with u-liiMi life is astonishing. We lately published an ac- count of the Vermonter who survived thirteen years alter a tamping iron was driven through his brain.

This last idea struck a dozen or more with force. and they jumped up and down, shouting Send down de rope, and we'll all climb to heben. Some four years ago a man named McDonough seduced a young lady in Troy, under promise of marriage, and tailed to maintain his agreement. A brother of the injured young lady, who at that time was but a stripling, vowed vengeance when he should become old enough to administer it. He thought the time has arrived on Sunday night, and the much enduring brother meeting tne nearness Ixitnario in an up town saloon in Troy, in the early part of the evening, attacked mm most unmercitully, and among other things, nearly bit his nose off.

Parties interfered, the belligerents were arrested and held to answer. At the Vermont election, on Tuesdav. the Democrats, for every 100 votes last year, cast Ho votes, while the Kepublicans, for every 100 votes last year, cast but 135 now, the percent age or ueinocratic gain being ten more than that of the Republican train. The same sort of." Re publican gam applied to this State gives it to oeymour by 84.UU0 majority, and secures him. all the great btates of the North and West.

To elect Seymour, the Democrats of the Union have but to imitate the gallant fight ot the Damocrats of the Green Mountain State. And who doubt that they will do it? Oh the Democrats of Vermont have made a gallant fight," now. Yesterday they had "let the election goby default." But the World can not be allowed thus to cipher down the Repub lican victory. The Democrats have cast but 130 votes, for every 100 cast last year, which puts the boot on the other leg. The Republicans have not only made the largest actual, but the argest proportional gain, and have 5,000 or 6,000 voters left to fall back on, for November, while the democratic vote took their whole strength, almost to a man.

Another Positive Democrat on the World. From Pollard's Political Pamphlet-Let us suggest to the New York World that it is but a poor evidence of scholarship to patch out articles from literary "treasures" and hand-books of classical anecdotes, and that the forced and meretricious erudition of encyclopedias is the unfailing mark of ignorance. In a political contest we want original and live thought, rather than collections from Anthon's Classical Dictionary, and the cheap rubbish of Yalensia and sophomorical lore. The editor of the World might shine in a college debate and yet be exceedingly dull and trivial in a political campaign, where the hardy common sense of the people requires instruction. Whatever may be the appreciation of Sorosis and the boarding school, the public has but little opinion of the man-man tuainaker in literature, the excess of whose rhetorical drapery is so tawdry and nondescript as to make it almost impossible to discover beneath it the sex of the writer.

The swollen style is no evidence of the expansion of thought, any more than a bag full of wind in petticoats is the fruitful and sweet pregnancy of genuis. A style that shifts between Jennj' un-eiana and the gibes of the blackguard, ricked out from encyclopedias, and doubtful in its sex, scarcely secures the weak admiration of the ignorant and vulgar, and is certainly not that expected of the editor of a political pajwr. Again, how intellectually dull and fruitless are the personalities of some of our newspapers, to say nothing of them on the score of detency. To read Mr. Mantalini's journal one would suppose that the chief topics of human concern were Horace Greeley, "Doctor" Butler, and "Hang the The recourses to personality are always doubtful; the arffumen-tuin ad hominem adds nothing to the stock of popular information; but it is' peculiarly that such unworthy allusions should have had so large a place in a political contest really so abundant of noble and elevated Hotel Arrivals.

Fatal Railroad Accident.

This morning as a freight train was nearing Milton, on the Vermont Central Railroad, about five o'clock, the conductor Charles Patch lost his footing in stepping from one car to another, fell on the track and was instantly killed. His body was cut in two and the entrails scattered along the track. A brakeman saw his fall, the train was stopped as soon as possible and the remains gathered up. Patch was a resident of Windsor. PERSONAL.

Hon. Bradley Barlow receives "his friends throughout the county" this evening at the Welden House, St. Albans. An utterly groundless rumor has been in cir culation in Winooski, for a day or two, to the effect that Mr. and Mrs.

Hungerford, who have been on an excursion over the Pacific Railroad, had been killed on the plains by the Indians. Mr. and Mrs. Hungerford have been heard from within a day or two. They were then at Detroit on their return from their Western trip, and in good health.

Southern Zephyrs. Here are a few zephyrs taken at random from the Southern press (From the Atlanta, Corstitution.) The guilty Belshazzars by whom we have been oppressed are trembling all over the land. Forbear a little longer, drw another draught upon long-tired and exhausted patience, step cautiously above the incrusted volcanoes slumbering beneath your feet, with a firm trust in the saving power of Democracy. That will do as a rebel splurge, but here is something stronger (From the Mobile Tribune.) Once more to the breach then yet once more And when the cloud shall have cleared away from the flaming field, our flag the grand old Confederate flag will be seen in all its glory, streaming like the thunderbolt against the wind. Let us then rally once more around the dear old flag, which we have followed so often to elorv and victory.

Correspondence of the Free Press, Letter from Fort Casson. Fort Casso.v, Lake Ciiamplain, 20th 18G8. Dear Free Prs. Do not for a moment fancy that all the splendor and glory of the beauty and fashion of American is lingering at Saratoga this summer. We are Blighty "ablaze" at Fort Casson.

Le bon ton is -Acre also, if not en masse," en individuels;" and we had a ball last night that in point of personal beauty, magnificence of toilets and enjoyablcness, was decidedly brilliant if not the most brilliant of the season." Do you know about this place An old stone fort, fitted up in the most delightful manner for the accommodation of guests it stands on a tongue of land that projects promontorially into the lake gray rocks form the base of the promontory; green grass and clinging mosses carpet its top out to the right as you co i.e from the landward a forest of oak kirts the backward curve the trees grow down to the water's edge; their branches interlace, and their gnarled and knotty trunks form fantastic resting places for the romantic stroller. There are trodden paths all through these woods, and you find always broken branches, withered wild flowers, and at intervals of a yard or two, tumble-down stone furnaces with smoky tops, telling pleasant stories of children and pie-nics. At the left the placid Otter Creek pours its waters into Lake Champlain; and past here each morning and evening plies the water lily, a fairy steamer from Vergenncs, often bringing additions to our pleasant party and sometimes carrying away ou.t friends. But I began to tell you abcut the ball. The music furnished by the Vergennes Band was not by any means the least pleasant feature of the occasion indeed the artists played last night as if inspired certainly their music carried inspiration to the feet of their fairy friends of the dance.

Not being acquainted with the nomenclature of the ball-room I can hardly give the order of the dancing, I know that it was all very beautifnl, and quite turned the head of many an old stager besides myself. The gathering was in an upper hall, whose windows open on to a balcony which in turn looks down upon the lake, and this balcony, hung with lamps that glittered in the water below, but actually lighted by floods of mellow moonlight, tempted a great many weary dancers. In the deep window recesses little tables were set, and cool ices, delicious lemonade, and feathery cake circulated freely. I do not say there was nothing more substantial in the supper room. But I have only time to add, according to custom, a description of some of the magnificent toilets, although, in the language of the distinguished correspondent of the New York Tribune, "their dazzling splendor must be ima- gined after all, for no words of mine can convey a just idea of their brilliancy and beauty.

Mr. L. M. Smith, of Vergennes, dark blue cloth coat with black buttons, buff waistcoat a la Webster, opening to show a cambric shirt-front of dazzling whiteness, doeskin pantaloons, Shakspearcan collar tied with a white ribbon with fringed ends. The literary combination in this toilet produced a novel and striking land in which the service is conducted in the native Irish tongue.

Dr. Pusey has at last, according to report, gone to his proper place, the Church of Rome, and it can only be a question of time when his followers, and High-Church Ritualists generally, shall follow him. Nor is such a secession to be dreaded. METHODIST. A camp meeting for the Burlington District will be held on Long Point," in Ferrisburgh on the premises of Mr.

Stephen Ball, one mile and three quarters from the North Ferrisburgh depot, commencing on Monday, Sept. 14th, and closing on the following Saturday. Arrange ments are made for reduced railroad fare, for transportation of passengers and baggage from the depot to the ground, and for horse keeping at Mr. Ball's stables and pastures. The Point has a good landing for boats within a few rods of the ground.

B. Eaton. The camp meeting at Lyndouville grove com menced Wednesday last. There is every prospect that the meeting will be much larger than last year. Over 1000 people are now in attendance, The Methodist meeting house in Brattleboro has recently been repaired and neatly refitted by the society of that place, and four have lately been received on probation The Methodist house of worship at Bond ville has recently been repaired and six have joined on probation, At Union Village, Sabbath, (Aug.

Recorder's Court. BEFORE JUSTICE HOLLEXBECK. September 3. Elijah Kemp was brought up before the acting Recorder and fined $5 and costs for being intoxicated. Wm.

Crosby paid into the city treasury $11 for indulging in the luxury of giving Thomas Verran a black eye, last Sunday evening. Wm. Sexton and Peter Phillips were also mulcted in the sum of 13 a-piece for trying to keep their courage and spirits up since the late election by pouring benzine whiskey down. GENERAL NEWS. One thousand six hundred boxes of peaches were slapped from Quincy a few days ago.

His Royal Highness Duke William of Wurtem-berg reviewed the cadets at West Point on Friday, in the presence of a large and brilliant audience.

Thurlow Weed, writing from Brussels, says Catlin, the- American artist, whose Gallery of Indian Portraits attracted so much attention thirty years ago, now resides here, and I regret to learn, is subjected to an old age of poverty. When he and the Indians arc gone, both Congress and the State Legislatures will regret that they did not, when they could, possess themselves of his paintings. On account of the scarcity of water in tho St.

Lawrence, none of the iron steamers at Montreal are allowed to run the rapids. A wooden boat is sent out to meet the iron steamer and take her passengers Professor Doremus has analyzed the enamel used for paper collars, and certifies that it is not poisonous. There is an immense plum crop around Albany this year. The trees are loaded down with the fruit, and many are so overburdened as to be unable to stand up under the load. The.

plums upon some of them hang almost in clusters like grapes. The curculio must be scarce thereabouts. Crabs are sometimes found very large ou the Japanese coast.

The Sentinel was right, and the policy for the next four years being now it ought to venture some considerations thereon.

Rev. Baron Stow, D. has received as a present from his former society in Boston, an annuity policy for $1000 per annum. The Baptists of Missouri, who have been badly divided between North and South, have decided to co-operate in one State organization. They numbered in St Louis, in 1857, four white and three colored churches.

Now they have six white and six colored churches, and are rapidly increasing in numbers and influence. They are united, and work harmoniously together. co NGREGATIONAL. The services of the semi-centennial anniversary of the Congregational Sabbath School at Essex, occurred on August 23d. Rev.

Mr. Willard, acting pastor, preached in the morning from Ps. xxxiv. 11, being the same text used by Mr. Morgan fifty years ago.

In the M. an interesting historical sketch of the school was given by Mr. A. M. Butler.

Dea. S. A. Bliss, a member of the school from the beginning, and for more than eighteen years superintendent, presented some historical reminiscences. Short addresses were made.

Rev. A. W. Clark, of Gilead, preached in the evening, All the exercises will long be remembered. Mrs.

Sophia Drew, one of the oldest of our church members, has shown her affection for the Congregational Church in Chelsea by presenting to it a valuable communion service. Work is progressing on the new house of worship at South Royalton. Rev. L. A.

The attendance of ministers and lay friends was quite large, and the gathering wa3 one of great interest and profit. The exercises of the association closed with an afternoon sermon by Rev. Geo. M. Adams, of Portsmouth, and the administration of the Lord's Supper.

The meetings were all fully attended. The gatherings for prayer were especially interesting, and the session was one of more than ordinary profit. The association will hold its next-meeting with the First Congregational Church in Keene. It is proposed to celebrate the completion of the first century of the Old South Church on the 21st of September of this year. There will be historical discourses, a public dinner, speeches, a poem, and, perhaps, other exercises.
