Trr Know A pleasant wedding occurred yesterday afternoon at the house of Mrs. J. w. Gates, Centre Rutland, the contracting parties being our well-known townsman, Mr. John W.

Cramton, and Miss Florence B. Gates. Rev. H. M.

Denslow, rector of Trinity, was the officiating clergyman. Miss Gates has long been a successful teacher iu our graded schools, and her friends, as well as those of the groom, tesiified to their esteem by elegant and numerous presents. The house was handsomely decorated with flowers. After refreshments had been served, Mr. and Mrs.

Cramton took their departure for Chicago on the 5: 15 train. Rutland Herald, Wednesday. W. F. Smith, general eastern passenger agent of the Central Vermont tailroad, has resigned this position to accept the position of general eastern passeneer agent of the Grand Trunk railroad, with headquarters at New York city.

Hon. E. D. Culver formerly of Brooklyn now of Greenwich, was married in this city yesterday to Mrs. Julia A.

Safford of Pittsburgh. The ceremony was performed at the residence of J. H. Neher, No. 98 Fifth street, by the Rev.

Dr. J. Humpstoue of Albany, assisted by the Rev. Dr. Baldwin of this city.

Among those present were Mrs. J. D. Woodard and Mr. and Mrs.

E. C. Baker of Pittsburgh. Troy Telegram, Wednesday. The Flaw In the Indictment To the Editor of the Free Press and Times It was expected that the indictment certain aldermen of this city would be quashed on some ground or other error in date or in spelling, omission of a word, or a comma to much or too little but to the benighted lay mind, it really looks as if in this case two wrongs were allowed to make a right.

It is the duty of the selectman aldermen to prescribe the agent's compensation statutes, 3702 and 3794 to furnish liquors. As the delinquent aldermen have disobeyed the former section of the law in addition to the lat ter, they have been let off! Because there was no money iu the case, the "agent" was not an agent and there was no money in the case, and there could be none, because the board i. e. these same persons who were under indictment had, through several months, refused, or "declined," to designate the agent's compensation. So they have been excused for the violation of one section of the law, because they took care to violate two sections at once.

At least, that is about the way it looks to the non-legal mind. And the State law will continue to be without force within the limits of Burlington, unless Messrs. Brink, Drury, Richardson, Taylor, Dow and Hatch see fit to give it their sanction By the way, isn't there a legal maxim, to the effect that a man shall hot be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong Q- THE LEGISLATURE. Organization of the Body Both Houses Heady tor Mublness. Special Correspondence oi the Free Press Times.) MOSTPKLIEB, Oct.

4. 1882. Both Houses organized without friction to-day, and are now ready for business. There Is'a strong feelmg.as was expressed in Speaker Martin's apeecb, that no time shall be wasted and that the business of the session shall Ik? despatched without delay. The fine weather and the interest in the speakership contest served to draw a large crowd to the State -house, to-day, and Representatives' Hall, particularly, was thronged with past members, public men and ladies.

It is the youngest Legislature, probably, ever known Gray beards and heads are the exception and the average age cannot much exceed forty years. The nominating speeches were all in good taste, and both Senator Dartt's and Speaker Martin's addresses were very happy. The Senate. The Senate was called to order by Lieutenant-Governor Barstow, and prayer was offered by Rev. Howard F.

Hill of Moutpelier. The Senators having ben sworn in, Mr Chauncey W. Brownell, was unanimously elected secretary. For assistant secretary there were three candidates, A. K.

Brown of Sheldon, F. A. Dwinell of Plainfield and D. Stone of Irasburgh. The vote was 20 for Brown, 9 for Dwinell and one for Stone.

For Chaplain, the Rev. H. A. Rogers of Montpelier received 18 votes and the Rev. W.

S. Hazen of Northfield 11, and Mr Rogers was elected. Senator Justus Dartt was unanimously elected president pro and upon taking the chair addressed the Senate briefly in acknowledgement of the compliment. Messrs. Crane of Orleans and Dartt of Windsor were appointed a committee to wait upon the Governor and inform him of the organization of the Senate.

A committee of one from each county, of which Mr. Fletcher of Addison is chairman, were appointed as committee on the part of the Senate, to count the votes for State officers. In the afternoon the Senate met in caucus and a committee was appointed to arrange the standing committees. The lloiikf. Dr.

George Nichols, the Secretary nf State, called the House to order, aud the devotiunal exercises were conducted by Rev. II. A. Spencer of Montpelier. The members having been sworn in, the voting for Speaker began.

Col. George W. Hooker of Brattleboro nominated Mr. Martin, and Messrs. Dix of Montgomery, Priest of Carre, Thompson of lras-burgh, Thorpe of Charlotte, Smith of Newbury, Plumley of Northrield, Fu-nch of ln derhill, Allen of Ferrisburgh, Cutts of Orwell and Fletcher of Cavendish, seconded his nomination.

Mr. A. E. Burton of Rupert nominated Mr. Munsou, and Mr.

Roberts of Burlington and Mr. Abell of West Haven Tuesday Harvey House drove a team into the village which he got under false pretences. Sheriff Bass had papers to arrest him, and took the horse by the bit, and then took tiowse by the collar of his overcoat, but the coat came off suddenly. The horse ran away and the man was doing the same. Sheriff Bass told Judge Nichols, who was some dis tance away in the direction of the horse, to stop him.

He grabbed his coat collar, and me man stepped out oi ms outside coat, too, and made his escape. A man in shabby clothes, with manv tur key feathers stuck in them, rushed out of some woods in Braintree and seized a young Child which was playing in the front yard and ran to the woods with it. The mother heard the cries of the child and ran after the man, calling the dog. The dog took hold of the man by the leg, and while fighting the dog, the mother gt the child away from the kidnapper and ran and called her husband who was working some distance away. After informing him what had happened she fainted away.

Several men went in pursuit of the rascal, but he ran like a deer and has not been seen since. The Orange County Sunday School Con vention will be held at Chelsea, Oct 17th and 18th. LAUOILLE COUNT V. lUorrUville. Rev.

NORTHERN VERMONT. A bad crowd, by name Louis Maro. was arrested one day last week by Deputy Sherifl Cummings of Highgate, for stealing a $10 note. Maro tried to borrow fifty cents of a youna man ia St. Albans, who, having nothing but a $10 note and wishing to accommodate him, allowed him to take it for the purpose ot getting it changed.

The rascal at once took tlie train for Swanton, but a tele phone message lrom St. Albans had preceded him and he was taken, into custody. A slight accident occurred at the depot at East Fairfield, one day last week. As the mail trait drew up a draw-bar gave way, letting three cars loose, which came up and struck the four standing iu front of the depot draw irons wete broken on the cars and engine, and tome ot the trucks thrown from the track by the shock. A man named Kemp, from Swanton, who was in the hind car, had his nose broken aDd his face severely cut.

imso corivTY, Capt. Hoffnagle of Vergennes has taken from the basin low the falls near that place several logs which have been submerged for several years. They are believed to be a part of a lot of timber used by Commodore McDonough in building his fleet. The captain will use the timber for making cane sand other mementoes of the famous naval battle which McDonough fovjght with the Brithish commodore, Downie, off Cumberland Head, September 11, 1814. At West Fernsburgh, Monday, two men stole of C.

in itself, an interesting theme, and was treated in Mr. Howard's brilliant and inimitable style. The speaker was a college friend of Principal C. C. Gove.

Deputy Sheriff Fisli and Policeman Mat thews went Tuesday with a search warrant and investigated the establishment in Cadcn's block. In the stairway leading to the cellar they found a man indulging iu a drink.

This was considered good evidence that there were intoxicants somewhere on the premises, Diligent search, however, failed to bring any stores of the ardent in sight till the con struction of the stairway itselt was looked into. It was found one of the steps had a movable lid, aud a receptacie thus entered contained a choice assortmant ot liquors in lues and bottles. Ihe officers took posses slon of the stock in trade and arrested Janus Clark, the man in charge. He was arraigned bafore Justice Newman Weeks and gave bail in $1000 for trial. Grand Juror Cam, who prosecuted, claims 100 offences against Clark.

The free Press for the Session. For the Eessiou of the Legislature which begins to-day, the Free Press will, we venture to say, be the most interesting and valuable as it is the largest and newsiest daily paper printed in the State. It will contain special features that will commend it to the patronage of all legislators and those legislated for and in its general characteristics it will lie a paper of interest to every one. The price for the session is 1.00 for the daily, 50 cents for the weekly, with liber-al discount to those ordering a number of copies. CITY NOTES.

All the trains were late, last night. The frame work is up of the main tower ot the new niversity bunding. And now an imaginative observer reports that the new comet looks for all the world like a red-headed baby in long clothes. Mr. Thomas Shanley starts for the "old home" in Ireland this week.

to remain tlixough the winter. Rain last night and greatly needed it was, to lay the dust in the streets, of which there was a superabundance. A great quantity of lumber was received at the yards yesterday, a large number of barges from anaila uuloadiug. The stove dealers report that the Fall trade is unusually active. Many new patterns are now to be seen in the stoves of retail dealers.

Folks who get up an hour or two before suorise report that they can see the new comet, People who sit up to tiat hour are probably able to see two comets. The lecture which was to nave been given by Dr. Paddock at the Y. M. C.

A hall last evening was postponed ou account of the weather. Does tin- Htovepipe tit This is the sea son oi the year when the husband wrestles with the parlor stovepipes after his day's work is done. A telegram frin Dr. P. Thayer last uitdit brought the sad intelligence that Dr.

S. lhayer was much worse. He was to leave New York on last night's train, arriving here at 4:50 this morning. The coining festival in this city of the Philharmonic society is attracting a great deal of at tentiou all through this State and Northern New York, and from all quarters come announcements ot an invitation to be present. The types made wild work of our Mont- pelier letter, yesterday.

Most of the errors bore their correction on their face, but it may be well to say that it is at the Riverside that Gov. Barstow and the Burlington gentlemen are staying. The Burlington and Lamoille railroad are preparing another of their peculiar trackmen's ars at their shops. These cars, which are rarely seen elsewhere, have a small box raised above the roof, from which the road can be scanned easily. The W.

C. T. U. of Vermont are about to issue a little sheet called the .4 mendment Herald. It will be devoted to a considera-1 tion and discussion of the petitions now in circulation throughout the State in restart! to temperance education in the schools, and the constitutional amendment.

Rev. Egbert F. Cleave, the Catholic lectur er, formerly pastor of the Reformed Episco pal cuurca oi (Luminous, Ohio, lecture in St. Mary's Hall to-nurbt on The Faith of our Fathers," with reasons tor becoming a Catholic, lie is reported to Its an able and interesting speaker. In yesterday's paper our compositors made us speak of the "corner of College and Main streets." What we wrote was he "corner of College and Union streets;" and people who want to see the anion ut of judgment displayed by the street authorities will do well to look at the sidewalk at that place.

The Champlain Transportation Company will give their second and last excursiou to New Y'ork on Monday and Tuesday of next week ana have placed the rate for the round trip at the very low sum of three dollars a price at which there will be a large patron age. An advertisement in another column gives full particulars as to tickets, route, etc. Burlington is favored above her sister New England cities, in that her druggists have not yet succumbed to the prevailing idiocy which decrees that the gaseous soda is no good after the Autumnal equinox, The fountains still supply the cheering thud. It is strange but true that there are still people whose worldly knowledge does not embrace the fact that the delicious soda is cot mainly compounded of cooking soda. And one individual bubbled into notice yesterday with the enquiry if "that air stuff wasn't mat of salsoda." The new schooner, "John P.

Howard." which was recently described in this column, will arrive at this port in a few days to re ceive her colors, which together with the rest of her rigging, were made by the veteran sailmaker, Mr. James Wakefield. The colors were presented by Mr. Howard in recogni tion of the compliment paid him in naming the boat. They consist of the "Union Jack," the National flag and the "Burgee," with the name "John P.

Howard' in red let ters on white ground. The whole makes a very handsome set, relu cting credit on both ihe doner and maker. It seems not to be known by the young men who "go a hunting" inside the city limits, that they render themselves liable to a fine of from one to twenty dollars every time they shoot at a bird or squirrel. The law is a proper and necessary one, and yet it is frequently transgressed from igoorancc, we presume. The writer of the paragraph has heard shot falling thick about him when ten rods ioside his own fence, where he might certainly expect to be safe.

Besides, we like to see the squirrels running fearless ly about the city. Why should boys ache to kill the harmless, pretty creatures. In spite of the rait, a fair-sized audience assembled at the Methodist church, last evening, to listen to Mrs. Mary II. Hunt's lecture on the "Importance of Temperance Educa tion." Airs.

Hunt is a very fluent and effec tive speaker.and her treatment of the subject was interesting and practical. She showed how large a proportion of Idiocy and crime aud poverty is traceable to intemperance. Where aje we to look for reform Temperance sentiment is crystallized in prohibitory legislation. But the success of the prohibition of anything in a Republic depends upon the sentiment of the people with regard to the thing prohibited. We must reform the people.

This can be done only by teinper-auce education. The enforcing power of prohibiting law lies in the teaching of temperance principles in the schools. Mrs. Hunt spoke for nearly two hours, and was listened to with the closest attention. Mr.

C. E. Macomlwr presided at the organ. Newspaper nd In the Legislature, S. Forbes, the distiller of small beer for the Boston Journal, and clerk to the executive department, distinguished himself by making on the floor a personal canvass of the members for subscriptions to the Journal a performance as undignified and impertinent as could well be imagined.

In connection with this, the query arises whether a person is appointed to even a subordinate clerkship for the purpose of fulfilling its duties or simply to give him a better chance to canvass for a newspaper.

Marsh, United States minister to Italy, has been sold by the Rev. Dr. Nevin, on the part of the executors of Mr. Marsh's estate to Mi. Frederick Billings, whose residence is at Woodstock, Mr.

Marsh's birthplace. It is said to be the intention of Mr. Hidings to present this library to the University of Vermont ut Burlington, of which he is himself an alumnua and of which Mr. Marsh was for some time one of the trustees, while his hnne was at Burlington. These facts iend a special interest and fitness il.i girt.

Mr. Marsh had at one Iwb made a will by which he left his library to the University of Vermont, but later his circumstances weie so impaired by what he spent in the public service that he was unable to carry out his original Intention.

To the Editor of the Free Press and Times Going four miles we found no less than a dozen places where the wagon wheel ran within ten to fifteen inches of the edge of the bank that was almost perpendicular down to the river. No guards. A sudden fright, a balky horse stepping backward, and a team would go down to almost certain destruction.

Uriah Howe of Moretown was killed at such a place. Up in Lowell a lady in her carriage went down a precipice aud barely escaped with her life. In Tunbridge man was thrown into three feet of water with his wagon on top of him, and was sayed by some men in a field near by. Other cases might be cited, but here are enough to demonstrate that travelling upon our roads is by far the most perilous undertaking known to this day and generation. Even the soldiers who fought iu the land of Cleopatra to put down the "Little Horn" have a smaller proportion of casualties than the travellers upon the highways of Vermont.

Look at the railroads in this State No pains has been spared to make them safe, commodious and first class in every respect. And it is money from other States that has built our railroads, Millions and millions of dollars. Surely we ought to be willing to build highways, at least sufficient to protect the liven of the people, if not to make pleasant drives that will atttact pleasure saekers among our beautiful hills and valleys. "Such charming scenery," said a lady the other day, "but the ponstant fear of falling from the narrow road into the river, has completely unstrung my nerves' Nothing but the direct liability of the town for damase8 will ever remedy this disgraceful condition of our highways.
