The largest party of children sent to country homes last year for a two week's vacation by the Tribune Fresh Air Fund numbered 465, and went to ten towns on the western shores of Lake Champlain, the larger proportion in Essex county. One Tuesday of this week, the largest party of this season, and probably the lar- gest there will be, numbering 462, passed over the D. & H. C. road* bound mostly for towns in the northern part of Clinton county. The children embarked at New York on an extra steamer of the Troy line, in oharge of competent gentlemen and ladies, Mon- day evening and arrived in Troy Tuesday morning, where they were served with a hearty breakfast by its generous citizen, Mr. Shepard Tappen, who for several years has fed all the fresh air children pas- sing though his city. On this occasion he engaged two large halls near the depot, where they took the train for the north. For their breakfast Mr. Tappen provided 1,700 biscuits, 2,000 cakes, 260 quarts of milk, five large hams, seventy-five pounds of corned beef, sixty pounds of roast beef, and about 1,000 bananas. The train/reached Plattsburgh at about 5.00 p. M., where a deputation from Mor- risonville took 16. We understand a spec- ial party for Plattsburgh will be Bent at a later date. The Morrisonville party were leceived at the depot by Bev. and Mrs. Wheaton and Smith N. Mead, and were taken to their destination in carriages. The children looked well,#rere neatly dressed, and all seemed to be enjoying their long trip immensely. As the long train of eight well-filled cars drew out from the depot, the boys and girls on the cars bid adieu to the little party left behind by cheers and the waving of hate and handkerchiefs. Quite a number of Plattsburgh people who feel an interest in the Fresh Air enter- prise were present at the depot, and enjoy- ed a few minutes chat with the children and the manager in charge. At West Cbazy 88 were disembarked; at Chazy, 73; at Coopersville, 18; at Bouses Point, 20; at Champlain 57; at Perry's Mills, 15; at Forest, 17; and at Ellenburgh, 157. The arrival of the children at these sev- eral points occasioned no little excitement, and their two week's sojourn will be the topic of the season. The children will be cared for tenderly in the hospitable homes of this region. The Tribune, in speaking of the gener- ous work on the western borders of Lake Ohamplain remarks that, \One of the most energetic and enthusiastic of the gentle- men engaged in obtaining homes for the children, and in making and executing plans for their entertainment, was the Bev. Thornton A. Mills, last year preaching in the town of Essex. His experience of the results of this work of beneficence was such that, early in the present season, he determined to repeat his effort in his new field of pastoral labor—the town of Cham- plain. He met with ready co-operation on the part of the clergymen in neighboring townB, and more than a week ago every ar- rangement had been perfected for the re- ception of 462 children in eight towns m Clinton county. The clergymen who have been active in this work, besides Mr. Mills, are the Bev. M. H. Smith and the Bev. Henri T. St. Claire, of Ellenburgh; the Bev. P. J. H. Myers, of Chazy; the Bev. J. B. LMcKenzie, of Mooers, and the Bev. E. L. Arnold, of West Ohazy.\ Hanian and Roast to Row for the Championship. Next Wednesday, July 18, the weather being favorable, will be a day of consider- able moment at Ogdensburg. Edwardilan- lan, the champion oarsman of the world, and Wallace Boss, of St. Johns, N. B., will row a sculler's race of four miles, on the St. Lawrence river, opposite Ogdensburg, for stakes of $1,000 a side and the cham- pionship of the world! In addition to the purse of $2,000 put up by the oarsmen, the oitizens of Ogdens- burg, and of Prescott, Canada, have con- tributed a purse of $2,000 to be paid to' the winner of the race. The race will occur between the hours of 3 and 6 p. M. , the weather being suitable. The oarsmen pronounce the course a su- perior one, and the race is expected to be an enjoyable affair. Both Hanian and Boss rowed over the Ogdensburg course twice on Monday. Hanian is now in superior condition. He weighs one hundred and fifty-two pounds stripped. A number of visitors have al- ready arrived. Booms in connection with Hanlan's boat house for the accommodation of, the press were opened on Tuesday. Be- potts from all directions anticipate great crowds on the day of the race, and every available steamboat on the river has been —;aged for excursions. lanlan and Boss have mutually agreed on John Eustace of the Atalanta boat club of New York as referee. ACROSS THE LAKE . —William Masters, .a soldier during the war of 1812, died in Maidstone, Vt., June 29th, aged 111 years. He waa the oldest man in Vermont. —D. G. McClure, father-in-law of A. H. Tuttle, proprietor of the Rutland Herald and Globe, died very suddenly of heart dis- ease in Dr. Putnam's office Monday fore- noon. —There was a run on the Rutland Sav- ings bank for several days last week. More than $125,000 was withdrawn. The run has about ceased, it having been examined by State officials and pronounced sound. Copper Bell Mining: Company. Some two weeks since we published an item in regard to steps being taken to form a company for copper mining in Arizona. Last Saturday the articles of association were filed in Clinton County Clerk's office. The incorporators are Messrs. John G. Mc- Auley, of North Adams, Mass., Andrew Williams, Alvin L. In man, Stephen Moffitt, of Plattsburgh, Horace B. King, of Cham- plain, Chas. L. Hammond, of Crown Point, and John Martin, of Plattsburgh. The objects of the incorporation, as stated in the certificate, are \the mining separating, selling and transportation of copper and iron ore, manufacturing cop per, iron and steel, and articles therefrom of various descriptions; manufacturing lumber, brick, coke, charcoal, pyroligenous acid, and other chemicals during the pro- cess of making charcoal, and also all articles necessary to or connected with the manufacture of copper, iron aud steel. The capital of the company is placed at $1,500,000, which is divided into 150,000 shares of $10 each. The articles of incor- poration also name the following gentle- men as trustees, to manage the affairs of the company for the first year: John G. McAuley, Andrew Williams, Edmund K. Baber, George Chahoon, Stephen Moffitt, Horace B. King, and Chas. L. Hammoad. The period of the existence of the company is fifty years. On Monday evening the stockholders met at the office of Hon. Andrew Williams and elected the following officers: Presi- dent and Treasurer, Andrew Williams; Vice-President, Stephen Mo ffltt; Secretary, John Martin; Superintendent, Alfred S. Bertolet. The copper mine which the company has purchased is looated in the county of Pinal, Arizona. Delegates of the company who have made a personal inspection of the mine, and experts who have made chemical assays of the metal, all agree in pronounc- ing it very valuable. Mr. Bertolet, who has been elected superintendent, is the assayer of the Crown Point and Chateau- gay Iron Companies, and will leave shortly for Arizona to prepare for the develop- ment of the mine. • The office of the company will be at Plattsburgh, where all business not con- nected with the working of the mine will be transacted. A large number of prominent business men in Clinton and Essex counties, in ad- dition to those mentioned in the articles of incorporation, have become stockholders, a careful inspection of the faots having given them confidence in the success of the company's investment. Death of Judge James. Hon. Amaziah B. James died at his resi- dence in Ogdensburg, at 12 o'eock last Friday night. Ever since he was attacked with paralysis at Washington, in the spring of 1880, he has been an invalid, though able to get about and attend to business. On the 4th he was out riding. About seven on the evening of the 5th he was attacked while seated in his parlor with dizziness, rallying later so as to be able to walk a lit- tle. He complained that everything in the room seemed to ba turning around. With the assistance of his attendant, and one of the servants, he walked up stairs and re- tired. During the night he was seized with a fit of vomiting. On the 6th he was some- what jmproved, and was asssisted out of bed. At 7 in the evening he sank into a state of unconsciousness and thus remained till 12 at night, when he died. He was born in Stephentown, Rensselaer county, in 1812, received an academic edu- cation, and at the age of fourteen he enter- ed a printing office in Batavia as an ap- prentice. Completing his apprenticeship he served in various offices as a journey- man printer until 1831, when he went to Ogdensburg, and soon afterwards estab lished the Northern Light, a weekly news- paper. Subsequently, in company with the late Dr. Tyler, he published the Times and Advertiser, then the Whig organ of St, Lawrence county. While engaged in pub- lishing a newspaper he studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1838, and soon after abandoned the newspaper busin< devoting himself exclusively to the legal profession. He was elected a justice of the supreme court in 1853 and held that posi- tion until 1876, when he resigned. He was elected to the forty-fifth and forty-sixth congress as a Bepublican, succeeding Vice- President W. A. Wheeler, and serving from October 15, 1877, to March 3d, 1881. He was a man of character and ability, and among the people of northern New York was not only well known but greatly re- spected, and his death will be widely re- gretted. The funeral took place at St. John's church, Ogdensburg, on Monday afternoon. NOTES ON THE FOURTH. It is too late to go into particulars, but according to all reports at no point was the Fourth celebrated with greater eclat than at Schuyler Falls. An immense crowd, a grand dinner, an excellent address, and all the other accessories of a regular old fashion celebration, concluding with a display of fire works in the evening of ran brilliancy and variety. The address by Rev. Mr. Bailey was highly appreciated. [ow they Celebrated at Royersfield. The dangerous illness of several of the citizens prevented the firing of cannon or discharging fire-works. But though with- out noisy demonstration, a first class pic- nic was held, netting nearly $1000 for the benefit of St. Bernard church. The managers of the three rival tables, laden with bounteous supplies, displayed much energy and ability. The new cornet band of Rogersfield made their first appearance on this occasion, and added much to the enjoyment of the day. Their playing is said to give excellent satisfaction. The fire-works are to be sent oS at some suitable time hereafter. PERSONAL MENTION. —Miss Cornie Sanborn, of Plattsburgh, is visiting relatives at Whitehall. —Dr. Cole and G. H.

The camping season has now fairly set in and promises to be an interesting one. Those who themselves enjoy the sport will be interested in reading of the enjoyment of others.

The selection of this lo- cation gives the campers a most sightly view of the lake several miles north, and at least 15 or 20 miles sonth, and with the Adirondacks in the west, makes it just grand. They have two boats every day during the week, the Maquam and Rein- deer, which touch at the dock near by, go- ing to and from Plattsburgh twice each day. The officers and crews of the boats are gentlemanly and obliging, and spare no pains to accommodate excurBionista. At- tached to the party is the well known John Bay, who attends to the culinary depart- ment, as well as maintaining the order and discipline of the camp. He can be fully appreciated only by those who have been so fortunate as to obtain his service under like oircumstances. A little north of this camp is W. W. Hartwell's famous cottage, with surround- ing buildings, such as bath house, bowling alley, &c, and where Mr. Hartwell's family ttnd friends have spent a portion of this week. Still a little further is Col. Nichols' cot- tage, which also has an air of comfort about it. Col. Nichols has not yet moved over, but we understand will this week. On an island not far distant to the north- west may be found the cottage of- Messrs. Bixby, who will soon take up their abode there. ' Among the attractions of the locality, is fine fishing in the lake, and splendid dri ing over the smooth roads of the Island.

The above is about half of the proceed- ings in yesterday morning's Telegram, for which that paper and the Republican, ac- cording to a resolution of the Board, are paid 40 cents a folio, or about $12. a, column, and for which the SENTINEL is paid* nothing. We have concluded to stop- right here, until the question is settled,., whether this partiality is to be the fixed,\ policy of the Board of Trustees. Theife will be a meeting of the Board next Satur- day night, and all the members are requested to be in attendance, as the matter will then be brought before them. If we are to work for nothing, we want the other journals placed on the same footing ! Fiendish Outrage a t Malone* On the evening of July 4th, while the* majority of the inhabitants of Malone were* witnessing the beautiful fireworks, poor little Hattie Atwood, a thirteen year old* daughter of W. P. Atwood, of this village, was making a desperate struggle for life and liberty. She had been to Burke, with ex-sheriff Delong and wife to attend a pic- nic during the day, and,, returned with them, arriving at Malone about 10 o'clock. She parted company with her escort at Mr» Delong's house and traced her way home- ward alone. When she saw that there was- no light in the window at her father's- house, she turned about and came down to j*the village again in search of her parents, not finding whom, she again turned about for home. She passed up Webster to Woodward St., thence towards her home- about twenty rods from that corner. When* about ten rods from the corner, while passing a vacant lot, she was overtaken by a powerful man who seized her by the neck and threw her upon the ground, when a desperate struggle for the mastery ensued. Unable to get control of his victim, the fiend dragged her over the fence into the grass field, and here the unequal conflict was renewed for about twenty minutes,, the girl fighting her assailant and held hiyn* at bay. He then dragged her further back: from the street to the plowed field, where^ he sought to drown her cries for help by filling her mouth with dirt and choking' her until she was insensible. Just at this moment, Mrs. Atwood and her neighbor, Mr. Robbins, returning home, were startled by the cries for help which the mother recognized as the voice of her daughter. They rushed to her assistance, but the man had fled, and the girl lay in- sensible in the dirt. They lifted her up tenderly, and carried her home. After a ;ime she recovered her consciousness, and described the man who assaulted her. She said that she was sure that when found he would show the marks of her finger nails in his neck and face. Officers were noti- ied, and on Friday a man named Seymour, who works in the Cantwell hop yard, was- arrested, and being brought before the girl she identified him as the man who assailed her. He was at once taken to jail. He bore scratches and marks on his neck and- face which he claims to have received from hop vines when s^f-fk. On Satur- day he was admitted $200 for his appear; grand jury.— Malone 1 They are Coming 1 J Beadle and Prindle (the inimitable* ohnnie Prindle) will exhibit in Palmer's Hall, Wednesday evening, July 18.
