The event will be one of a National character, and cannot fail of being attended with good results Never give it ap I Speaking of the rout of the Uisunionists, at the recent election in Mississippi, by some 8,000 majority, the N.

Y. Tribune naturally as well and truly and innocently observed "The peril of Disunion, always exaggerated, has ceased to be even a scare-crow. Misi ippi was its second best reliance." Whereupon the Rochester (N. American flies in the face and eyes of the poor Tribune follows 'This logic is bad. It does not follow be tause Disunion' is defeated in Mississippi even by 8000 majority, that it is noting more than a scare-crow." It rallied a powerful party and maintained a vigorous and doubtful contest.

WasHISGThS in bis Farewell Address, warned his countrymen against Disunion a their chief danger, although in his day it had assumed no such organised and formidable attitude as it now presents. The good sense and patriotism ot the people will put it down. But to ridicule as a scare crow, what tne father ol his Country solemn ly prom unced the paramount peril of the Republic ia the part ol demagogues and fooU." It is astonishing to observe how discourteous ly warm certain papers get when any body insists upon it, that this Union contains tolerably powerful conservative energies within itself, and has not been so near a centrifugal explosion as those who have "saved" it so often would have it appear Now the American is no doubt a good and firm Union paper, but its opinion in regard to the real perils through which the Union has safely passed is no better, certainly, than the Tribune's, and perhaps no better than any body's else. To call decent sort of people "demagogues and fools," therefore, on such differences, only proves that the objurgator has lost his temper and is likely to be wrong. Fire and loss of Life.

and as rou know nothinir about a hast thin I can do is to tell too exactlr how it waa, who waa there, and what came of; OM Frio Goetzenberger lived, or rather Iwea Ss-bat we will speak of it in the past tense lived, I ay, in an old University town in the eouih of Germany; a very old fashioned town it vu, with all sorts of old memories and traditions connected with it The University, with its tall, red roof, looked aa dark and ancient as the church, which had a till, rcj roof to correspond and the church looked quite as old as the gray lune-stone rocks which stood op, like huge, frowning wa.la, round the little town. Not far from the University stood a large. dismal-look in" stone building, like a treat, gloomy town-nun ui iuwcr uum willows, which looked upon the street, were all guarded with strong iron-work composed of upright ban, with iron scrolls among them, which gave it very much the appearance of a prison. In the center of this building was a wide, round arched gateway, in the projecting of which grinned a stone face. The face protruded its tongue from its leering Btaath, its.

nose was curled up, and its ears were ftn nansual length. It was upon the whole, lir My a face aa yon would wish to see, and tteetoed to grin down upon everybody who approached the gateway. So wide was this gateway that a coach-and four might have driven into if, and, on either band, soon after you entered, you came to a wide, stone staircase, wtjb. iron balustrades, which led up to the dwallinM of many families of a dozen, at least who inhabited this great, old house, ntodt of them being professors, or students, be longing- to the University. jMeen this old house and the University kf a large garden, full of trees and walks, and with a fountain, which fell into a great stone basin, In the middle of a grass plat, which was not, I am sorry to aay, by any means neatly kept, for two or three milk-women cut the grass with sickles for their cows.

This garden, to a eertaln extent, was public that is, was com-Aqn to about a dozen different houses opening liifa it and which were all occupied, more or leas, by people connected with the University, he had thus as it were, a privileged private Entrance either to the great University library ordinary lectures and classes. Hence it yaa that the houses opening into this Universi-isat Cferfen, aa it was called, brought a higher rent than any others, and the people residing were looked upon as uie tiue 11 was, in tha Belsrravia of the the town. Oa the principal floor of that great, old boose with the grinning face over the door, lived the most celebrated proiessor in me wjjolo Vniversity the lierr von Hoffman, Professor of Roman Law; a very learned man, i fame extended over all Germany. So ereM, indeed, waa he, that the King, not many yean neiore, nau present nun wu wuni nobility, and hence it was that he had Von before hi name. He was, in fact, the Herr Baiwn von Hoffman but he preferred being called simply the Herr Professor, because he had more pleasure in being a great teacher t'ian in being a Baron- He was not, however, an old man he was only a little turned forty, and this was his first ear at the famous old University, when I introduce him to your wladcreu Ha was a very qniet, domestic man, was this Professor von Hoffman, and there was Mikinv in the world which he wished so ttifach for as a sweet-tempered, good little wife, mJk dear, haonv family of pretty children.

When he waa only twenty, and a student at the oM University or Ureiiswaid, nis domestic Uim were tost the same. But he was a very ijporuvinin those days; nevertheleas he made up his mind to marry as soon as he was able to maintain a wife and family and more than that, to marry no one else tnan tne pretty iaa the youngest daughter of old Professor Schmidt, under whom ho had studied Roman Law, and the sweet-tempered and pretty Ida had ttMriimml to be his wife whenever he should be ready to offer her a home. But things did not fall oat as either the student Eberhard or his r.ip Ma tinned Old I'rofessor Schmidt would not consent to part with his daughter Ida, who was his favorite. He was, unfortunately, a very sour-tempered, obstinate old gentleman he saw l' at juoernnru iw not afford to have a wife. In this VMr after vear went on Ida's sister Ma ria married, and went away to her husband's home and her mother, the old Professor's wi died, and then there was nobody left to look mftar him but ooor Ida.

and, what was worst ot th old irentleman's temper crew more and more tyrannical, because he now suffered so nAirh finm rheumatism and toothache. There did not now seem to be the least chance in the world that Ida could ever leave fiithpr. Kberhard had been away two years, and he grew very impatient. He had risen from privat docent, without any salary, to be Professor of Roman Law in the University of Tubingen. He now could abundantly afford to maintain that dear little wife that was Otily wanted to complete his happiness so he Wrote to Ida, saying that she must consent to marry him at once, and that, to make all easy and agrcable, the old gentleman, her father should live with them.

Ida was delighted with tjie proposal not so the old Professor. For what waa he to leave Greifswald No, he had no intention of leaving it! He had not many years to live, and he was not going to be torn up by the roots for anybody It would be the death of him. No no! he should stop at Greifswald, and Ida might leave him, it she liked but he would never give his blessing to an undutiful child tt was very hard both on Ida and her lover. They waited yet a while longer; but Tubin-gert was a very dull place, and all the Profes sors there were mimed, excepting Eberhard So at last he wrote to Ida, saying that if she. could not marrv him ha must look out for an other Wife.

He quite expected th.it this would i tice, sanctioned by many of our best citizens, Li- ment of a nublic Cemeterv. to moot at tlm American Hotelo-moiroie the purpose of taking action Uion the matter. We hope the meeting will be fully attended for its object is one that shouldaengage the sympathies and energies of all our citizens. A rural cemetery occupying the prettiest site in the neighborhood, has been selected by almost every principal city or village in our land, as a home for the dead. Our village grave yard is fast filling up, and a new one must soon be oh tamed.

It is not to be expected thnt the future will present better opportunities than the present. Mr. Adams will be present tomorrow evening, and explain his proposition in detail. Those who have visited Greenwood, Mt. Acbcrm, Forest Hill, or any one of the many otner of those sacred spots, which to the living, rob death of half its terrors, need scarcely be urged to attend the meeting tomor row evening.

lion. Mr. Marsh. The Boston Atlas of Saturday contains the following communication respecting the reported illness of Mr. Marsh, which will be read with interest Messrs Editors: Tlie friends of M-.

Marsh will be glad to learn that he is looked after by kind and skiifuil men his own countrymen, lo re well acquainted with it diseases incident to the climate. The su! lined extract from a letter of July 31st, shows that Messrs. Thompson and Vaf Dyck, Missionaries of the American Board the lutter, a physician, led Beyrout in pursuit of him, immediately after being notified ot his sickness. Mr. Marh, our Minister to Constantinople, lias been traveling for some months in Egypt Hiid Palestine, Willi hi wile and wife's sister.

YeMerdsy we heard by an express messenger tliat he is at Mejlel, a little, miserable village on the Sea of Galilee, hi wife dangerously ill, and himself very feeble. Mr. Thompson and Or Van Dyck have gone over lo look alter them, and we hope will reach them in lime for service to iliem. Mr. Marsh was on his way from Jerusalem to Damascus.

We hope he will be able to reach the cooler climate of Lebanon, and JT The Franklin County Court commenced its session in this place, on Tuesday the 9th inst. Hon. Milo Bennett presiding, assisted by Hon. Alvah Sabin, and Hon. Wm.C.

Wilson. 'I he address of Judge Bennett to the Grand Jury condemned in the strongest terms the tendency, in some portions of the Union, to subvert Law by the action of mobs and vigilance committees. The Judge said that the attempt to administer justice by any authority .) .1 ii i civn nuony, uuu an ngtit. ne iinKO strongly the action of the lawless Anti-renters in New York, and administered a well deserv ed and timely castiga'ion to those politicians, editors, and pulpit teachers, uphold and counsel the violation of those laws which in the private judgment of the individual may be wrong. After reading the Docket, and going through one trial, the hot weather became oppressive to the Legal Profession, and the importunities of the legal profession to adjourn became oppressive to the Court, and so the Court adjourned Wednesday morning, till Monday, the 15th, greatly to the inconvenience of parties in attendance on court, greatly to the discomfiture of Hotel keepers, bakers, nnd butchers.

Our court may now be pronounced a dissipated court, and justice has taken to itself legs and run away. HI. Aibans Messenger, I th. (X7We would call attention to the Advertisement of C. W.

Bachelder, and one owned and occupied by Miss Spencer. The fire broke out in the rear of one of Mr. Bachelder'a buildings, occupied by a Mr. Bernard, and we are pained to say that his little child of two years old, was burned to death We believe the mother wa away from home, and nobody knew that the child waa in the buining building until it was tro late to attempt rescue. Mr.

Bachelder was the severest loser by the Sre. We regret to say that he was without any insurance. Miss Spencer had an insurance of $400 on her building, though her loss, otherwise, is considerable. Mr. Lowry's Paint Shop, in the rear, wa nearly destroyed, but was insured for $i00, which will probably cover his loss.
