Corresp-ndenoa Free Tina and Tim; Frosa Maatpetler. Moxtpxltkb, Oct 7, 1870. I do not remember a session when the Legisla tare was farther along with its business on the third day of the session. Speaker Joyce an nounced a number of the standing committees in the House, this morning. This is certainly remarkable promptness.

The constituting these committees is the most important duty the Speaker has to discharge. On the selections made, largely depends the whole course of legis lation for the session. The Speaker must have time to look over the material at his com mand and to become acquainted, at first or second hand, with the men cf the House, in order to be sure that he makes up the committees in the best way; and they consequently have been seldom or never announced before Monday. Of the composition of the committees I may have some thing to say when the list is completed. A bill chartering the Walloomsac Railroad was introduced in the Senate yesterday.

This is the famous Burden Road," which has been fought over for several sessions past I do not learn that any opposition to it is likely to be made from Bennington County this year. It certainly will be a cause for congratulation if the Le gislature can be spared the necessity of taking part in the Bennington County controversy, in any shape. Lieut-Governor Dale presides in the Senate with dignity and grace, and his speech on tak mg the chair impressed many as one of the most felicitous they had heard. The official reporters for the Senate were an nounced to-day CoL E. M.

Brown, who has re ported for several years, and Chester W. Merrill of Montpelier, who formerly reported in the Senate for the Daily Journal. In the House the reporters are the veteran reporter Col. A. C.

Brown and Mr. D. W. Dixon of St Albans. Both Houses, the papers and the public are to be songratulated on the choice of bo competent anr! experienced a set of reporters.

The Third House is not organized as yet, and I do not know as it is going to be. Hon. J. D. Hatch is here, and may be trusted keep care ful watoh over the interests of the great carpora- tion he represents.

Col. Bolla Gleason this is h'aforty-tixth year of attendance on the sessions of the Legislature and Hon. E. D. Mason, were here at the opening, to help to start the machine; but have apparently left it to run alone.

The well-known face of Hugh Henry is wanting, and will never be seen here more. The Pavilion Hotel is now excellently kept by Messrs. Aldnch Hersey, who I see have called to their assistance that veteran landlord, A. C. Jennings, once of Burlington, afterwards of St.

In this form of engine, the steam, after driving the piston of one cylinder, passes intoa considerably larger cylinder at a reduced pressure, and after doing its work there, is exhausted into a "surface condenser, where it is condensed without mingling with the cooling sea water. The adop tiou of the compound engine is a consequence of the effort to economize fuel by using steam of high pressure with great expansion, and in this the British builders have been anticipated in the United States. From seventy to seventy-five pounds represents, to-day, a limit that was in dicated by twenty pounds pressure in marine engines but a few years ago and the expendi ture of fuel has been reduced from four to as low as two and a quarter pounds of coal per indicated horse power per hour.

Even the latter figure has however been obtained by our own builders. 1'rov. Jour. A Maettr to his Opinions. Dr.

The Steveks House, Rutland Darin; our recent stay at Rutland, on the oocasion of the Centennial Celebration, when all was hubbub and confusion in the place, ocsa-aioned by the large crowds present, we could not but observe the order and precision with which affairs were managed at the Stevens House, everything seemed to move like clock work, and the tables were luxuriously spread. In fine, under the personal direction of its proprietor, C.

F. Richardson, the Stevens may be called a first ass house. State Convention or Y. M. C.

A. It should be borne in mind that the fourth annual State Convention of the Young Men's Christian Association is to beheld in SL Johnsbury, Oct. 11th and 12th, the order of exercises for which we published some time since. A number of the exercises will be conducted by D. L.

Moody of Chicago, which is enough to say that they will be of a most interesting character. Wednesday evening and Thursday ocsurs the Sabbath School Convention, at the same place. The approbation of the public in reference to the entertainment of Amy Stone's Theatrical Troupe was manifested again last evening by a crowded Hail, every seat, the galleries included, being full. The entertainment commenced with Dot, or the Cricket on the Hearth." Djt was admirably personated by Amy Stone, and the character of Dot's husband, John Per-rybingle, the merry village carrier, was taken by James Harrison. The ssena opens with a happy home, afterwards darkened by a little cloud that is blown away at the close, leaving Dot, John, fat old Tilly, the nurse, and all the rest of them as happy as Kings.

The perform-vtace last evening was one of the best. The eu tertainment closed with the laughable farce Did you ever land your wife out of town during which numerous local hits kept the audience convulsed with laughter. This evening closes the entertainment with the presentation of the thrilling play ia five sots, East Lynne, or the Elopement, Amy Stone as Lady and Mr. Harrison as Sir Francis the whole to conclude with the farce of Mr. and Mrs.

S. Attorhet a Orricr Mostpeukb, Oot.7, 1870. Deak Sir, I clip the enclosed from the New York Sun of yesterday There is a rumor that Gen. Grant intends to pardon all the Fenian prisoners who were lately convicted. Gen.

O'Neil included. It is said that the President thiuks that they have been punished enough, snd that this is one of his reasons for pardoning them. Some critios. however, attribute it to a desire on the part of Gen. Grant to gain popularity among the Fenians.

The real reason, however, we suppose to be that not one of these prUonert ha been Usally convicted. They were all tried before a single Judge, when the law required that they should have been triad before two Judges. This illegality, having coma to the notioe of the Administration, is probably the real reason for their pardon. The statement that the Fenians wars convicted before only a single Jadgo is not trna sa far as Lteut-Gov. Dale is at BIshoD's Hotel and large number of the Chittenden county members arc also at Bishop's, which by universal testi mony is an excellent house.

Speaker Joyce and the Secretary of the Senate room at Mr. Brown's, tiro doors east of the Pavillion. and many mem bers have rooms at private houses. lbe weather is delightful to-day. Yours, PERSONAL Rev.

John Gleed aged 85, died in Morrisville, Sept. 27th. Mr. Gleed was born in England, but came to this country in 1832. A laborious and faithful minister, he continued bis active ministry 60 years 23 years in England and 37 years in Canada and Vermont.

At an informal meeting of the Lamoille Association of Congre gational ministers, on the day of Mr. Gleed's funeral, a series of resolutions in respect to his memory were adopted, and ordered placed on the records of the Association. Mayor Linsley left this morning, for Minneso ta, and the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad, now in process of construction, where he is en gaged ia his capacity as Assistant Engineer of the road. Fire. A barn filled with hay belonging to C.

C. Post of Hinesburgh, and standing a few rods north west of A. Nash's flouring mill at the north end of the village was discovered to be on fire about noon Friday. When first discovered the whole building was in flames. Two larger barns at each end of it were on fire and serious ly threatened with destruction; but by vigorous work of the citizens were saved with only partial loss by fire and water.

The near vioinity of the water below the mill and the little wind favored the Sorts ti save other buildings, else a great conflagration had been inevitable. Hinesburgh has no organization or fire engine for such occa sions. Nothing certain is known as to the origin of the fire. KSCZaClOUS INTELtlQEKCE. BAPTIST.
