The sigh that went up from the observers in tlie street below almost reached his quickened ears, and it grew into a shout. He was not demoralized.— He might have come down and given up '[the job. Xot so. llis purpose to go up to the cross was not changed, llut he could no longer trust himself to the knobs on I that angle of the steeple, lie must get across to the next augle. lie tried to reach, Imt the knob was just beyond his utmost stretch of foot or hand. ••Tlio observers below were looking on j in breathless suspense. They saw him go up higher, almost to the very spot whence lie had fallen, and then at last reach out I and swing himself across, lie was now 011 another anglci clinging to an untried i place and looking up the long line of us tested knobs. He went tip more carefully, 1 c rapivlv than before, trying every knob wt ll before trusting his weight to it. Soon he was at the ball. Grasping that, he slid himself up over it and sat himself down on it, with his feet on either side of i i he cross. There lie waited awhile, though j he seemed still to be busy. Then raising himself to his feet, he stood beside the cross. With llis hand lie broke it piece meal, and threw the pieces down, aud they fell into fragments as they touched the stone walk. Then he descended, and in a lew minutes was on the ground again, to be surrounded by some oi the observers. House For Sale.

ILoral anti S-tate Ketos. This is the season of campmeetings. The new wooden pavement is to be tried in Bangor. Farmers in AVinthrop in attempting to plow find the earth like an ash-heap, at the depth of a foot or more. It always rains on the week of holding the Windsor campmeeting. This is our only hope tlmt the drouth has broken. Rev. M. J. Kelley, Chaplain of the Togus Asylum, leaves there about the first of next month, for Portland, Oregon, where he will be stationed. The Dirigo boys, after their first cheek in their brilliant successes this season, have picked up the hat and arc reudy to try it again. In their second contest in Boston they showed their usual mettle. The bright light that was seen in the di rection ol llallowell on Wednesday evening, was caused by fire in Swanton's woods, near the Vaughan stream, in llallowell. The fire has been put out without much damage. A number of railroad builders and contrac tors are in town, on business connected with the proposed extension of the Maine Central Road. The time for receiving proposals was extended to 9 o’clock last evening. The con tract will probably be awarded to-day or to morrow. Dr. Thompson, who lost his sliawi the oilier day, found it by investing a dollar in advertising. A gentleman in Auburn recent ly lost 8110 and sought it in vain for a week, till at last lie advertised it and found his missing siteskels in bis own pockets.' The proofs of the benefit of advertising are every where shown, but this is the latest. While the workmen were engaged Wcdnes-. day afternoon in unloading a stone weighing about four tons, at the new hulk-head, at the Kennebec dam, twoof the guys gave way, let ting thederrick fall, the stonecrushing one side of the team. One man was precipitated off the pier on which lie was at work, striking his arm against the stone work and bruising it considerably. It is a matter of congratu- lation that no accidents of a serious nature j have taken place upon any of the works thus far, and we sincerely hope that we shall have none to chronicle. Is it not about time that the city authorities should make a move in reference to a per- i manent repair Kennebec bridge? The water is now at a very low stage, and the closing of the dam, an event not long in the distance, will ensure against anything that would trouble a temporary staging which it is necessary to erect to prosecute the repairs. The people generally are expressing them selves favorable to making the repairs at once, so that the noble old structure that so heroically withstood a two days’ conflict with the mn«t violent; ire freshet over known in Maine, may not only be preserved to us, but made “better than new.” We trust that those who have charge of the matter will not let the present golden opportunity, so favora ble to bridge building and repairing, pass un improved.

Dear Joi rnal :—I am no ornithologist, 1 but find your inquiry in regard to the inigra tion of swallows and martins has not been j answered. 1 send you the following informs- j tion. According to Dufl'oon and Goldsmith, "they have their northern home about the last of September,” (if they have left in An- I gust, it is a month earlier than usual). A few days before their departure, they astern- ble in flocks on house tops, and trees—and by i their incessant twittering should judge they were deliberating on the fatiguing journey they are about undertaking to Congo, Sene gal, and all along the Morocco shore; also the southern States, mostly on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico. There are some, however, left behind in this general expedition, that do not start until eight or ten days later. These arc chiefly the later weakly broods, which are not in condition to set out. Those that migrate are first observed to ar rive in Africa about the first of October. It is thought they perform this journey in seven or eight days. They are sometimes seen, when interrupted by contrary winds, hover ing in their course far off at sea, and lighting upon whatever ship they find in their passage. They then seem exhausted with famine and fatigue, yet still they boldly venture on and pursue their flight, and continue their course j when refreshed by a few hours rest. It is a species of swallow whose nesls are considered such a luxury by the Chinese, and are so highly prized that life, and limb are risked to procure them. They are plucked from rocks in deep, dark caverns, and high precipitmus rocky shores, almost inaccessible. Willoughby says of those swallows that are found on the co ist of China and Coroman ehal, they gather a certain clammy, glutinous matter—perhaps from the spawns of whales and other small fish—of which they build their nests. Some are white, others brown. They are washed and then dissolved in chicken, or mutton broth,—the former commands an enormous price, and is considered one of the greatest delicacies vouched to man, by the Chinese. M. K. 111 a i j More than 500,1X10 people hear testimony to the wonderful curative effects of Dr. Tierce's Alt. Ext. or Golden Medical Discovery. It cures Bronchitis, and the worst lingering coughs. As an Anti-Billious medicine for “Liver Complaint” it has no equal. It per manontly.cures constipation of the bowels, cleanses and purities the blood and thereby cures Scrofulous and Syphilitic taints, and all diseases of the skin, as Timples, Blotches, Boils, Hushes and Eruptions.

BAZAINE’S FORCES SEVERED FROM THE MAIN ARMY. Chalons and Rheims Oc cupied by Prussians. PRINCE FREDERICK CHARLES TO MOVE ON PARIS DIRECT. A Prussian Defeat Near

7 Chalons. Bazainc Confident that ho can An. nihilato the Prussians by the 25th inst. London, Aug. 25. Noon—The entire command of Marshal McMahon left Rheims on Monday, hoping to protect Paris. Prussian scouting parties arc near Chalons and Troyes. Montemedy advices to the 23d inst., men tion nothing whatever of B zainc’s junction with McMahon. Bazaine's reports find no credit here. The Empress still at the Tuillerers hope less and dejected. It is said she has become very unpopular, on account of her bigotry. Paris letters say that the fear of the Prus sians is, that if there is some success of the French arms, it may enable the Emperor to regain Paris. Correspondents of London newspapers con cede that the French authorities will treat only for peace beyond the Rhine. Dense fogs still cover the battlefield. It is believed in Strasburgthat Marshal Ba zaine has been severed from the main French army, and that his forces are completely para lized. Chalons has been abandoned. It is said that the forces of the Crown Prince will to-day enter that city, as well as Rheims, meeting with no resistance, while the Prince Frederick Charles moves on Paris direct. Latest. London, Aug. 25. More Prussian spies were taken yesterday, taking plans of the works. Along the banks of the river Loire others also have been arrested here, and some even have been detected w ith the troops of McMa hon. A remittance has been received from Dub lin. for the aid of the wounded. The Empress Eugenie acknowledges the contribution in a note, in which she says, this offering to the wounded French is re ceived with gratitude. The generous senti ments which have inspired this act, and your wishes lor the s ccess of our arms, and the happiness of the Imperial family have pro foundly touched his majority. The Prussian trorps have closely surround ed Strnsburg, yet the government Treasurer managed to escape with over twelve millions of francs. A Prussian colonel has written Emile dc Girardin offering a wager that he will be in Paris by the loth of September. Girardin published the letter, and announced his ac ceptance of the wager. The Belgian Minister here says that the Journal have ree d authority from Ids govern ment to contradict the sluieiueui that tiie pas sage of wounded Prussians through the terri tory of Belgium has been permitted or at tempted. A despatch from llheims the 23d says that it was supposed that the armies of McMahon and Bazaine had effected a junction, and sup posed by the quadrelatercnl composed by the fortresses of Monteraedy, Verdun, Thionville and Metz would await ail attack. It was not expected that any important engagement would occur within two days. The Emperor quitted Camells last night, and goes to Berne in the Canton of Kheiins. Yesterday the Imperial headquarters were at Chalons. The grain mills in the Valley of Seine and Marne, and all their contents which could not be removed have been purposely burned. The country people are destroying the roads and doing all tney can to impede the march of the Prussian armies. They will burn or destroy such provisions as they are un able to remove or store them out of the reach of the Prussians. The scouts of the Prussians have made their appearance at Chalons and Marne, also at Menehould, the Prefect of the latter town, and the railway officials have left the place. The Belgians intimate that the complaint of tho French thut the Prussian wounded are al lowed to cross the Belgian territory is a mere pretext for an intended violation of the aoil. The meetings held at Manchester and else where were to raise aid tor the French wounded. Swiss surgeons volunteer for hospital ser vice in the armies on both sides. The La Liherte says that the Emperor on opening the Chambers on January 18, 1809, assured France that the military laws which were to be proposed, uiid the appropriations to be asked for would place the country in a condition too meet all emergencies. Special to X. T. Herald. London, Aug. 25. A despatch from Vienna states that Count Cliiotek Ambassador from Austria to St. Petersburg, who was herein consultation with Baron Von Beust. has re turned to his post. Much significance is placed in the appointment of Count Nivarkotf 1 as mission ambassador at Vienna, in conse quence of the familiarity with the eastern question, and the ninrked friendly tone recent ly adopted towards Itussia. Advices from Berlin state that in conse- quencc of received rumors of intervention in favor of France, the Prussian government lias adopted precautionary measures. Special couriers left Berlin to-day for Home and Franee with despatches. There was great excitement in this city this afternoon, over a rumor in the Stock Exchange, that the Prussian army under the Crown Prince has been defeated by the' French, under the command of Marshal McMahon. The city of Hamburg is filled with troops. With the iron clads blockading Cuxhnven there arc three merchant steamers, supposed 1 to be prizes. Prince Felix Salm Salm, a Major in the Prussian guard, distinguished for his service in the American and Mexican wars, was killed on the 18th at Gravelottc. Paris, Aug. 25. Special to Tribune. Loudon, Aug. 25. The Tribune special correspondent from Hhcims Tuesday sends very important and late news of French movements, which were allowed to he tele graphed yesterday. I bis evening there were about 150,000 troops in and about Hlieims under McMahon. During night they began to move toward Ardennes, and are still mov ing hi that direction. By noon the place will be evacuated They take the road to Hothcl ■uni Meniers, hut 1 learn that the officers do not know how far they will go in that direc tion. If what is believed about Bazaine. be true tile two armies will so m be united. Ba zaine is reported at headquarters to have said that he could heat the enemy on the 20th, hut if he waited until the 21st he could annihilate them. The march of the troops which begun last night continues. Artillery infantry and cav alry arc pouring uninterruptedly through the town. It is raining hard to-day. I compute that nearly 200.000 men in all have passed. There is no longer a doubt about the direction of this movement. From the officers of the baggage and supply train, I learn that they have orders to go direct to Montmedy. Two baggage men who had tried to get toward Wrdun. had been stopped by Lilians, and all reports agree that every road thitherward is picketed bv the Prussians, lie-organiza tion proceeds with the utmost despatch. As one example, a supply train of 500 wagons fully equipped wa» organized, and reached Hlieims from Verdun in three days. High officers here are positive that a part of Ba zaine* forces arc between Bricy and Etain. Our own movements from Hhcims to join him arc made w ith the utmost secrecy. The Figaro this afternoon contains the tol- lowing: A person who arrived from the vicinity of Epernay this evening, states that the l’rus- j -i.iiis were defeated to-day between Verdun and Chalons. Paris, Aug. 23—ft P. M. The Figaro lias just received an extra with the following A person who arrived in Paris at 8 o’clock to-night, direct from Epcrnay, reports that he heard in that city that the Prussians were defeated to-day la-tween Verdun and Chalons. Groups of Prussian stragglers have arrived, anil inlantry were continually coming to Chalons. The coilibat commenced this morning at three o'clock, and the news reached Chalons and Epcrnay at about three o’clock in the afternoon. Nothing definite is stated as to the number of men engaged, but according to a rumor the entire army of i Prince Charles was in the tight. An order was given to evacuate Epcrnay to-morrow. Trains going cast on the railway from Paris to Epcrnay, are stopped a’. Chateau Thierrcy, which is now the terminus of the line. The Opinione Nationale says to all who think more of any other things than of driv ing the Prussians from the soil of France, it recommends the perusal of the following passage from a published plan of attack “Paris will never be in our power, unless it is owing to political circumstances or moral reasons, which will oblige its detenders to open to us its gates.” Political circumstances, says the Opinione Nationale, revolution, and moral reasons means treachery. A council of Ministers have been in ses- j sion half »f to-day. It lias been decided liy the committee ol defence, that upon the ap proach of the army, all the departments of the Seine and Marne, and in the environs of Paris must Le destroyed, and greater haste is urged on the farmers to store their produce in the government warehouses in the city, before the enemy can seize it. All the ani mals in the Zoological garth n in thu Boise de Bolougnc have been removed. Part of i them have been retained in this city and part j sent to Belgium. Some of the animals arc of great value. The Journal official this morning says that the sum of all the new* received at the Min istry of the Interior is that the Prussians will will push tin ir reconnoissanee into the de partment of Maine, and even into the town of Chalons. The Prefect of the Department of the Up per Matlne announces that a portion of the Northern arrondisimeat of Vassy is occupied by the Prussian forces, and orders have been given to march. The Prussians will be op posed by every obstacle which tile patriotism of the people can suggest, in addition to Un systematic measures which will be executed under the direction of cugineer officers sent out hv the government. An official waning is given by the Minister of the Interior that i he w ill be forced to apply the law regulating the Press with tile utmost rigor, it certain Journals in spite of the representations of the i government continue to publish reports of the movements of troops, state of the fortifica tions anil of the positions of the armies.

Dear Journal This time, I have to Write not of a defeat, but a victory for the Dirigos. The game took place this afternoon with the Excelsior club of this city, and resulted in a taiumph for the Augusta boys. Game was called a little past 4 o'clock, the Dirigos as yesterday going first to the bat. It was a tie in each of the first two innings, both sides having five runs each. In the next two the Dirigos were “choked," while their opponents made six runs—the score being 5 to 9 in favor of the Boston boys. It looked decid edly bad for the Dirigos, though they had played very fine. Notwithstanding this differ-! enee iri tile scores their friends seemed to put implicit confidence in their favorites, and still freely ottered even bets on their success. The fifth inning was sharp, the Dirigos scoring 1 and tlie Excelsiors their first “whitewash." On the sixth, Augusta got 3 to the Bostonians 2, the score then standing 9 to 12 in favor of the latter. In many of the match games that the Dirigos have played they have scored heavily in the seventh inning, so that it lias been termed by them the “bloody seventh.” j Their seventh with the Excelsiors proved to be one of this character. Their rapping was most magnificent, their opponents being wholly unable to cope with the swift balls they j sent knee high along the ground. Nine runs tlipy made to their opponents 2, giving them the lead by 4 runs. The eighth and ninth was a construction of heavy batting, the little champions j coring 12 to the Boston hoys 5, closing the game in favor of the Pine Tree State—score 30 to 19. Each one of the Dirigos acquitted himself in a highly creditable manner, and had this been the case yesterday with thc*Bay States the result must have been different. The boys want another try with their opponents of yesterday, and have challenged them to play for the Championship of New England this week. It is conjectured here that they will not accept, if not the Dirigos will claim that they (the Bay States) have forfeited the championship to them. Elagg won a spring bat, presented by Mr. li. Sumner, 57 Temple Place for the best score on scoring 1st base on safe hits. To morrow they play witlt the Unas of Charles town; and from all accounts will be close. Diniuo. Excelsiors. O. R. O. B.
