They - are those who were indif ferent and criminal during the war— those who are to take part in the Con vention to Le held in Philadelphia next week. Then, from away down South,' leaders of the Confederate cause, cov ered with the blood of the innocent, are to come to the city of Brotherly Love to teach' Northern men their duty.

[Applause,] " But on the other hand, read the history of the French Revolution, and you will find nothing so atrocious as the assault upon and-the murder of those Union men in New Orleans. That old man Hunt— his' name was a household word in the United States—there ..was no doubt of his loyalty, and yet-lie was dragged through, the streets of New Orleans, as saulted, trampled upon, and finally leaked up in a prison where they-con fine their murderers and convicts. My friends, the spirit from hell which in duced these proceedings is still alive. I am for increasing the army. [Loud and prolonged cheers.] If these men will pot be obedient, they should be com pelled. [Cheers.] That is the way our 'boys drove them from their forts and forced their surrender. They were upon their knees.inlB6s, when the war closed. Now they are arrogant. They murder peaceable citizens, and carry the flag of the rebellion, and send' delegates to the great State; of Pennsylvania to 'consult on-the - future of America. ,IL ..is the bounden duty of us in the loyal States who suppressed the rebellion and freed the negro, to protect him from violence and persecution. It is our duty to say he shall not be murdered by his former nmster. Our highest duty resting upon us from the throne of a merciful God, is to protect these men. [Cheers.] The Governor passed a high eulogy upon - OeneraPGeary. He would have .made -Kansas free had it not been that we had aJnan in the ,chair at Washington ut terly incapacitated to at, its duties. The soldiers, made up of 15,000 in Phil adelphia, 350 in Harrisburg, and in-due proportion elsewhere,_ have resolved that Gen. Geary shall be Governor.

THE PASTOR Some years ago the pulpit of St. Pe ter's, one of the principal German chur ches in St_ Petersburg, was filled by Pas tor B-7---, who, like most of the prea chers of that wealthy sectihad amassed a eonsidei able fortune, and wits tallith esteemed mid helOved by his Coll2l'.`ga tion. Nola day passed without utt bit r ous applications to him tOr assistance of various kinds, and none were sent aw y without a word of consolation ova to( re substantial gift. ' One day, as he, wits compelled by in disposition to keep his room, a woman came-and craved his interference. She had lately removed to St. Petersburg with her husband, who was a goldsmith, 'and who had - succeeded in establishing himself so well that he earned an am ple support, for ,both of them; but he made her wretched by his persistent atid outrageous ill-treatment, without the' slightest provocation -or retort on her part 7 -all of which she had. until now .patiently endured. 7 The pastor e - zpressed his regret that indisposition prevented him from leav ing the house. -- - ~ - •Hliring your husband tome," said he. Thaf.. Will be no easy, matter," re turned. the 'wocuan ; kV! it sPsPec t that a rebuke is Min, he will not come.' No ; he must know nothing of it beforehand.: But if, I tell him that you•wish to buy something , from him, then iie will not fail to wait on your reveruee.7 "That is a lucky' thought," said the pa:Stor, " for I ani about , to purchase complete.tea service of silver." " And he has just finished e, v,er,y,,beau tiful one," exclaimed the woman. The nest _day the goldsmith came with his chest, accompanied by the wo man: , L.Theriastor was secretly surprised to see her with him, but advanced to meet him, saying: ' , • - ' " Alia! the Silver!" " Yes, yourreVerence, I have brought the serviee.as.you desired." " Very, l well, ! said the pastor. "13e So good, as ,to come with me into' my studY." When they were alone, The good cler gyman begets, to speak urgently upon thetluty of a husband, and dwelt with impressive eloquence upon the sacred ' ness of the vow W - deb married partners make before the tar to each other. - His listener see - led very much aston ished, and seve 1 times attempted to interrupt his disenurse, but the pastor begged him to hear him to the end "What excuse can you make for your conduct ?" asked he, in conclusion.— "What is the cause of it? You look so mild and so good-tempered, my friend. How comes it that you are such a had husband ?" But let me say just one word, your reference. 'I am —" • 1 " I know what you mean to say. You are usually as meek as a lamb, and only impetuous at certain times ; but to go so far as to beat your wife!" " You have mistaken the person, rev erend sir ;• I have never beaten my wife _ll " How ? Do you deny it?—fie !" . " Because," continued the man, " I am not married." " Why,, your' wife is at this moment waiting in the next room." " Who? . My wife? Your reverence is mistaken. ',have no wife. That wo man is your own housekeeper; she came to me with a commission from you to bring a service•of silver for your inspection." The pastor began to look uneasy. "She must be a mad woman," said "Or a thief!" said the goldsmith. They went hastily into.thenext room —tint it Vas empty ! The woman had disappeared with the chest of silver, and all the efforts of the pollee to recov er it were in vain. This incident is calculated to give rise to many weighty considerations. The trick was so well devised and planned that it would have succeeded with the most p . rudent and circumspect. - The goldsmith left the silver in the outer room in charge of the supposed house keeper, at the express desire of the pas- tor; while the latter confided it to the keeping of the soi-distant wife of the former. Had the latter been brought intolitigation, whose would have been the loss? Fortunately the good pastor had no thought for such an alternative. He felt compassion for the poor man, who gained a precarious living by his labor; and as he, on the contrary, was rich enough to bear the injury, he bore it alone. NOTES OP A TRIP LIBERTY, Aug 15, 1866. Editor of the, Agitator:—having re turned home after a pleasant tour thro' the greater part of Tioga, county, so ma ny reminiscences of pleasant observa tion crowd on my memory, that I think it proper to give you a brief outline of the same, as they seein to me of inter est; giving you full privilege to publish of the same as much or as little as you may deem proper, or of sufficient inter est to your readers. The general average -intelligence of the yeomanry of Tioga county, often observed and remarked upon by me be fore, appeared to me in a much more fa vorable light, and struck me more forci bly, during my late tour, as I mingle 4 and conversed with them at their plea sant homes where I was ever received with genial and manly courtesy and open hospitality. As I passed over the green hills and through the beautiful valleys, I could not help but observe both the cause and the effect of the intelligences° generally prevailing among the farmers of Tioga county, (exceptions excepted,) in the appearance of the numerous school houses, mostly constructed in a neat and substantial manner, as they appeared to my view passing through the county.— ]; was glad to perceive that, as the farm ers prospered by their industry, perse verance and thrift, and were able to substitute neat and comfortable, and in many instances very tasty dwelling houses, in the place of the forsaken log houses, relics and mementos of their en durance and -elf denial, they in their prosperity had also a due regard for the comfort of the rising generation. in erecting comfortable and neat school houses; and I could with pleasure, as from time to time they appeared in my sight, look on them as a sure index and waymark of tine thrifty intelligence of the neighborhood. , As the time when I passed through the different sections of the county was a very busy season fur the farmer, in cut ting grain and especially grass, and gathering food for the coming winter, for the cattle and sheep now grazing on the green hills, the great progress made in the introduction of machinery to lighten the laborious task of the farm er, was very forcibly illustrated'hy filets surrounding mean all sides. Wherever passed, on the hillside and in the val ley, the click of the mowing Machine struck any can, while only now and then the sound of whetting the scythe was heard ; iu the place of a host of hand rakers in the hayfield the horserake performed its rapid work; and even in the sweating operation of unloading, the genius of Yankee invention has add ed to the ease of the farmer, by furnish ing the hayfork, which with a few vora cious grabs unloads the wagon and de posits its contents at, the olesired place of rest. The' argument so often urged by the ignorant and the croaker, that the in vention and introduction of labor-sav ing machines would take the,bread out py the poor man's mouth, has long since exploded, and experience has plainly shown that every improvement and pro gress in mechanics and agriculture, has added to the comfort of all, and dimin ished the earnings of none. As Tioga county, in a general view, appeared to me during my late tour, it is destined to be one of the best and richest Counties in this State. Its re sonregs are more varied, and in point of fertiliJty of soil, especially in the beau tiful fralley on Cowanesque river, and oh many of its uplands, it compares fa vorably with any other part of the State; while on account of the abun dant supply of sweet and fresh water, and its hills covered with a natural sweet grass, it is destined to become one of the finest dairy counties. When we add to these advantages the riches of the forest and the treasure in the bowels of 46 everlasting hills and mountains, we may form some faint idea of the bright prospects of Tioga county ; and proper realization of all these natural advantages, should. till our hearts with gratitude to our Creator for the ble , si ngs which we enjoy, and forever drive all discontent, the enemy of happiness, from our minds. C. F. V. Not a Bad Description Some years ago, in a fracas which oc curred not a thousand miles from Vin cennes, Indiana, a man accidentally present was severely cut with a knife by one of the belligerents. Much alarm was excited, and doctors were hastily sent for; an 'Esculapian Caine", armed and equipped," as he thought was ex actly right; at any rate he went to work upon the case as if he was going to do something. Rolling up his sleeves and diving into it.," he said to thehor ror-stricken bystanders: " Bad ease— incised cut of the prineum membranus —aud—through, the am bilious miuista ry to the lineralbum. The viscus and the signum are incised—and the piluric orifice of the hepethic ductus is lacera ted to the interior spinus of the attach ment of the fifth gang—" It was too much for a particular friend of the suf ferer. He gave up, and hastened out into the fresh air to revive his faicting faculties. While walking upand down, painfully and despairingly wringing his hands, in front of the saloon where the mischief had been done, an acquaint ance came hurriedly up and said to him, " How is Sam ?" He replied, " there is no chance iu the world for hint ; he must die, poor fellow ! The Latin parts of his bowels are. all Cut to pieces!" Is it any wonder that Sam died The Bishop of Wurtzburg once asked a sprightly shepherd boy: "What are you doing here, my lad *2" "Tending swine." "How much do you get?"— "One florin a week." "I also am, a shepherd," continued the Bishop, "but I have a much better salary." "That may all be, but then I suppose you haye more swine under your care," i 60- c e tly replied the boy.

There seems to be four styles of mind : Ist, them who know it is so! 2d, them who know it aint I 3d, them who split the difference, and guess at it! 4th, them who don't care a darn which way it is! There is but few men who hey char acter enuff to lead a life of idleness. True love is spelt just the same iu Choctaw-as it is in English. Those who retire from the world on account of its sins and peskiness, must not forgit . that they have got to keep company with a person who wants just as much watching as anybody else. A puppy plays with every pup he meets, but old dogs have but few asso ciates. It costs a good deal to be wise, but it don't cost anything to be happy. Necessity begot invention, invention begot convenience, convenience begot pleasure, pleasure begot luxury, luxury begot riot and disease, riot and disease between them begot poverty, and pov erty begot necessity again—and this is the revolution of man, and is about all he can brag on. " Love lies bleeding !"—this is proba bly one of the darndest lies that ever was told.

A very fascinating young lady had been placed under Morgan's care, and three ‘,-oung gentlemen fell desperately in love with her. They were equally agree able, and the young lady was puzzled which to encourage. She asked the captain's advice. Come on deck," he said, " the first day it is perfectly calm. The gentle men will, of course, be near you. I shall have the boat lowered down, and you jump overboard, and see which of the gentlemen will jump after you." A calm day soon came, the captain's suggestions were followed, and two of the lovers jumped after the lady in an instant. But between these two the lady could not decide, so exactly alike had been their devotion. She again consulted the captain. "Take the man that didn't jump ; he is the most sensi ble fellow, and will make you the best husband." " OF GOOD MORAL CHARACTER."— All license., to sell intoxicating liquors specified that the holder was a man " of good moral character;" and when he was urged to look upon his business as sinful and harmful to the community, he would with great self-complacency produce hit. " license." How this ex cuse will serve him at aWture occasion, is thus pithily hinted at by Rev. John r- ierpont in one of his addresses: " Yes, you have a license—and that is .our plea.. Well, my friend if this is your plea, I adjure you to keep it ; lock it amongst your choicest jewels ; guard it as the apple of your eye; and when you die, and are laid in your coffin, be sure that this precious document is placed within your cold clammy fing ers, so when you are called upon to con front the souls of your victims before God, you may be ready to file in your plea of justification, and boldly layyour license down on the bar of the Judge. Yes, my' friend, keep it—you will then want your license, signed by the county Commissioners and endorsed by the Se lectmen." A. late English invention of colored starch is one of the greatest novelties in the London fashionable world. Seve ral colors are already produced, and the invention is being extended to others. Any article starched with this prepara tion is completely colored by it; but as the dye readily washes out, the garment that was pink to-day may be made green to-morrow, and so on. This starch is of great use for those bright but treacher ously colored muslins that are very cost ly, but as their colors wash. out, contin ually perplex their owners. If the pat tern has been Lf reen, starch of that color is used, and the green remains, and the same trde of any other color. To have the means always at hand, not on ly of keeping colors last, but also of va rying them day by day, must be invalu able to ladies. The fellows are rather importunate out West.
