Wc put out our camp-fire, folded our tent*, stowed away our camp-equipage in the recesses of a new Uell l«>at. and float­ed out into Cumberland Bay. south from Plattsburgh. There was no wind and our boatman plied the oar and we soon left many a pleasant landing place ttehind us along the shore. We first touched a! Crab Uland, the -.St. Mi< ha. I" of the Fr< itch.

Tin former name may have been suggest. < d by the fossils abounding in the reeks along the shore. The latter is associated 1 with the significance of still doubtful tra- j tradition. The little island is nearly con- • nil ted with the 15attlc of Plattsburgh and I claims histoiic interest therefrom. In fancy we can look beyond even historic record and picture it as a favorite resting place of the native seigniory of these lands and waters, on their wild excursions south, and more than this, may not these pictur­ed rocks speak of probable tradition even farther back in the misty morning of a paleozoic period when the happy trilobite laid upon his back and huily swam in these sunshiny .shallows with no fear of becoming a fo?sil before his eyes?

At Bluff 1't., four miles from our start­ing place we landed and drew our boat upon the beach and prepared to listen to the famous "singing sands," mysterious. yet not mysterious melodies: for arc not these the sands of rocks primeval, instinct still with the morning song of creation a n d stil l v i b r a t i n g in pra i se of h i m "who

made mountain and rock and sea and shore? Leaving BiulT Pt. we held on our course, touching at Yalcour with its pic­turesque shores, its pleasant bays and landing places. This island is cele­brated as a successful rallying point in the naval history of Lake Cham plain. Hero in these placid waters now lies Benedict Arnold's flag-ship, the Itoyal Savage, un­disturbed save by the periodical revisitings of the insatiable relic-hunter.

Tliere were still standing in I1*;!*!, two modest dwellings, red painted, IUH' and a half stories high, nearly at the westi 111 extremity of Broad street, on the northern side, and a few rods eastward from thr Dr. Miller place, where the street merged itself in a country and farm road, that preserve an imperishable memory to the writer. The one nearer town was the residence of David Brock, a devout Wesleyan, whose rigid creed admitted of no compromise with other sects. Its twin similitude in architectural design did service as a parson­age in lg'Jtt-oO to the new minister. He v. Bartholomew Creagli, not long over from Ireland, and his demure little ijuakcr-ltke

latter domicile retains a vitality above common to the writer, from her having

been placed there at twelve years old, un­

der the scholarly tutelage of Mr. Creagh: ti keen remembrance of stepping, un­awares, through a trap-door, into a dis­mally7 dark cellar, the first evening of her exile from Home; and the endurance of nightly anguish, for those subsequent months, in the low, unplastered attic-room, which constituted the sole bed room in the house, save a contracted apology for one below stairs, occupied by the master aad mistress. Transferred to such a locale. from a great, rambling old house, with no end of nooks and stairways, and apart­ments of every grade, this dingy bird-cage proved a Hock of Offence to the wretched,

wide ' bomesick child. Pardou this digression.

returns as iu this. An old, middle aged, or young man, owning such a farm as this need not envy the lot of the richest man iu this laud or any other. This, of course, is the case of an ordinary small farmer, the object being rather to get a fair aver­age, rather than a case for show.

As we go on westward the outlines of farms aud trees disappear, for we now come into the grazing country, large herd* of cattle and sheep taking the place of cultivated fields. Further westward as we roll up the hardly perceptible valley of the

Arkansas, so low are the hanks, farther on w e come to the region where irrigating ditches bring the water from the river many miles above, converting the desert prairie country on which rain falls only at uncertain intervals into fertile fields. But t his irrigating business is limited by.the sup­ply of water coming down the Arkansas, and already representatives of the grazing business, aud the manufacturing interests belo w, are increasing, and grazing is doubt­less destined to be the principal business of the future here, as it has been in the p.ist—an occupation which lias made more rapid fortunes than almost any other

marsh, and coining upon Ansalile Pt, about 10 o'clock lauded and lunched. This spot, called also, Sand Pt., is formed of wave-marked sand, and we found noth­ing of interest except some tine black iron ore marking the long terraces made by the restless waters, and a few pieces of flint of which the Indian arrow-head is made, indicating that this may have once been an Indian landing place, or an approach to a Castle somewhere iu the vicinity. It is said that here Champlain stopped with his Indian party, and with his legendary arquebus shot an elk. W c next passed the mouth of the Big Ausable Itiver, the entrance to which is marked, and at the same time concealed, by tall trees and fringes of willow upon its banks. The lake is here bordered by sand plains and bluffs which extend into and under its waters.

Port Kent came next in v iew. Once this place was a prospective city of mag nilicent proportions and probabilities, or at least was so in the mind of its ambitious

founder who planned its future; now it is a pleasant summer resort, and a popular entrance to the Adirondacks. Trembleau Alt. nest stretches its dark wooded height before us, and about noon the bow of our boat touched the rocky point where the mighty Adirondack Mt. range is lost in the waters of the lake. In the scanty patches of earth here, grew harebells, tall red lilies and ferns. From Trembleau Point we steered for Schuyler Island. Scenes of peculiar beauty were before us and around. All the mountains iu the distance were of pale blue against a sky of misty white. Above the mountains, here and there, were banks of snow white clouds, fleece upon fleece, and, iu the waters below were reflected the same fleecy clouds, blue mountainas and pale skies. The water was without a rip­ple, the near shores of the island and mainlaud were of "living green," with trees and verdure and color all repeated in the shadows in tlie water, making a „_ .. ,, . , . ., striking contrast with the pule blues and j * ° " t u a h s n , s or doS»«« ^ « " " «•«* faint lights in the distance. We landed, I swung our hammocks, made our camp- I tire, and in right Romany fashion enjoyed the stillness and the shade of the after-

j Methodism even at that early day in Platts-burgh bad none of the peculiar vagaries of speech which Peter Parley notes in his autobiography. Or of the young farmer in Connecticut who thus sets forth doctrine. "What I insist upon my brethren and sis­ters, is this: Larnin' isn't religion, and eddication don't give a man the power of the sperit. It is grace gifts that furnish the ra'al live coals from off the altar. St. Peter was a fisherman. Do you think he ever went to Talc college? Yet he was the l iock on which Christ built his Church. No.' u o ! beloved brothers and sisters, when the Lord wanted to blow down the walls of Jerico he didn't take a brass trum­pet, or a polished French horn ; no such til ing! l i e took a ram's horn—just as it grew. And so, when He wants to blow down the walls of spiritual Jerico, my word for it, he don't take one of your smooth, polite, college-larnt gentlemen, but a plain, natural ram's horn sort of man, just like me!" Neither any of the description quoted by Southey in his one­sided 'Life of Wesley,' or the style of a noted 'itinerant dcclaimer,' who not being himself able to read employed his mother. "She reads the tex', and I 'spbtins and 'spounds." Yet all the same it hail its primitive side, and its strong quaint phraseology.

A remarkable and great revival of religion occurred in the village, under tlie ministration of Rev. Mr. Creagh, includ­ing the years 1839-30, which wore away all stagnation and frigidity in worship. The social, as well as public convocations were crowded. Not only did the new converts, and old membership among the Methodists, become participants in the service, but other sectarians, heretofore of set purpose to work only for their own vineyard, prominently the Episcopalian communicants, united, on. probation, with the heterodox dissenters, and were among the first to lift up a voice either in prayer, or exhortation or sacred song. These enter­ed with soul-full zeal into the movement

Preaching, by Rev. J*. B-

| !9*SM»JpS»**' 5

months disturbed the peace that passeth understanding, which then ruled supreme iu scores of vitalized hearts. Old lines were obliterated, all exclusiveness, in serv­ing God, was for the time abolished. Vain adornments, also, were for the nonce laid aside, and although the abjuration of such things as "high heads, enormous bonnets, ruffles and rings," as prescribed by John Wesley in his book of 'Church Discipline,' may not have shriven the soul, it was at least an innocent restrictions, and not un-healtuful. The harmony existing, and the fraternal spirit that characterized such worship, has been from her very early youth a pleasant memorial and happy re­membrance to the writer.

Merely to assert that the Rev. Bartholo­mew Creagh was eloquent, or an orator, conveys not even a remote idea of the man. There was not a tinge of languor about him. Every pulse vibrated to an eager, enthusiastic love. A kind of rapt devotion that electrified and subdued his hearers, meanwhile, his own face often appeared transfigured as the face of a glorified saint. The effects of his preaching have never been surpassed, never been repeated in the old village, nor can the 'Great Revival' ever be forgotten by theae w h o were in any way its subjects or contemporaries. Members of nil rtrnnminstions warmed and g lowed under, if , hot infrequently bringing the f § f t | v e e ascribed t o Bev . Aaron BunVf ' ^ y ri nt-likc, yet a sweet. pofctted whwnwafie," titat brought Heaven naanr to l#Tdmgy old Court Souse, d c ayte Eh n<s«m rat jail and ita gfcnaUy con, eiatav than anany * au>re raniwuirattd altar win* ever know.

The preacher, ftuT of solemnity, anxiety and tenderness, rarely dropping a tear hiwelf, nnceaaingly inspired them in others, Tndf-d, the writer remembers well aomnnt dfcnntoie Barked sermons, the results at which seemed an actual tragedy of emotion.

pulpit To the writer's juvenile perception. Mr.

Creagh, so wise and good, and winning, appeared of patriarchal age and dignity. Andyet when first adjudged to Plattsburgh village as a pastor he had but just com­pleted his twenty-fourth ysar. He never returned there, nor did those who cherish­ed his name and memory so tenderly ever hear much of his after work. That the years (comparatively few) of his life there­after were marked by faithful service to his Divine Master, we are assured, and that its ending was full of a glorious hope, we know. He died at Williamsburg, L. L , in 16V57. giving this testimony just before the heart's pulse ceased to palpitate: "I feel no ecstasy: and in this I see the good­ness of God—for this poor, worn body could not endure a single throb of extatic joy. But, Oh! the peace—the sweet peace of mind that is vouchsafed to inc."

A happy coincidence lies in the assign­ment of Rev. John Howland Coit to the first Rectorship of Trinity church, com­pleted a year or two after the transfer of Mr. Creagh to the N e w York Conference, who ascribed his religious awakening and subsequent conversion to the eloquent ap­peals and sanctified life of Bev- John fjum-merfield, the young English Methodist divine, who scarcely outlived his boyhood. And so long as Plattsburgh continued to be her home, the writer remembers the engraved portrait of the youthful evangel­ist as hanging iu Dr. Coit's study, as an almost sacred memorial.

bitch !?3. every additional bitch $5. and additional dog by the same person #2.

The tax on dogs goes to pay damages done to sheep and the balance to support the poor.

The dog tax is collected the same as any other tax, and if not paid it is the duty of the Collector to kill the dog.or any person may kill tlie dog by law.

Last year the Assessors of this town neglected to make a dog list as required by law, and, if they neglect that branch of their duty this year, they should be indict­ed for a teillful nsglrct of duty. Men who take office should be required to perform the duties of their office or be punished for neglect of duty.

Merc or less sheep are killed in this and otber towns every year by unknown or worthless dogs, and the do'g tax is impos­ed to pay such damages, and feed paupers.

Sheep killed in this town in 1881 are not paid for because the dogs were omitted by the Assessors in 1882. Let the Assessors tax dogs this year or be indicted by the nest Grand Jury for a willful neglect Of duty. OWXBU OF SIUCEI*.

Does the Telegram mean the street lamp, or is it some other lamp, he is conspiring against ? It is be hoped that it is not the Street lamps that are thus foredoomed. Of ail the improvements that have befallen our village since the Town clock was set up, and the First Presbyterian Church bell "tuned" for the last time, there have been none, to the constant or casual ob­server, more enjoyable than the keio iene street lamps. Of course, if the present kerosene lamp is t o be replaced by gas burners the average citizen will be called upon still to be grateful, for the "pipe-lay­ing" ability o f the present gas company has been weM denooastrsxed along our streets, and an opportunity for the raising of an­other OOp of threatened iujoncaiens for obstruction of the highway wffl be hailed with joy by tnose wbo are obliged t« tra­verse, daily, theae thoroughfares.
