(From Our Staff Correspondent.) Montpelier, Oct. 16. The General Assembly of Vermont will" meet again to-morrow.

One of the interesting events of the day will be the announcement of Gov. Smith's staff. It will be as follows: State of Vermont, Adjutant and Inspector General's Office, Burlington, Oct. 15. lSyS.

General Orders No. 1. I. Oscar W. Peck of Wlnooskl is hereby appointed surgeon general of the State of Vermont, with rank of brigadier general.

Charles K. Nelson of Montgomery Centre, to be aide-de-camp and inspector of rifle practice, with the rank'of colonel. By order of i EDWARD C. SMITH. Governor and Commander-in-Cli1 ef.

Official: THEODORE S. PECK, Adjutant General. The governor has taken time to thoroughly study the qualifications of the nien and has chosen a list which will commend Itself to the State. -and Vermonters everywhere will be pleased to see that the number has been materially reduced. The selection of ex-Senator Peck of Winooski is an especially fitting one, as no man ins done more than he for the First Verm nt regiment; U.

S. Volunteers, having bjecn at its service since Its return from Chllck-amnurru. The choice tt Capt. F. 1 Greene ia another evidence- of the goi error's regwrd for the" Vermont volunt era and honors one of the most popular and eSlclent captains In the old Vermont Na tional Guard.

The other members of the staff are well known in business and manufacturing circles and will bring to their new positions the modesty and good seiifo of practical men. I The members of the staff are requested to meet at the adjutant general's office at the State House Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, where they will pay their re spects in a body to the governor or Ver mont. Residents of Vermont are justified in the expectation that their law-makers Will come to the capltol to-morrow prepared for work. Two weeks have been spent in getting acquainted with each other and with the legislative customs. Eight of jthe 14 days have been spent at home and a half day of the six days the Legislature has been tn session as spent in signt-fee- ing and pleasure at Burlington.

When it is remembered that the cost of the Legis lature ranges from $1000 to $1500 per diem, it seems as though the State has received poor returns for its money. However, the people of the State are largely re sponsible for this, as they insist on parsing the office of representative around, and allowing a man but one term at the capitol. So long as this custom is con tinued people must grant their representa tives time to learn something of their new duties. In fact It seems about as profitable to spend the time this way as any other. Although a total of 53 bill has been introduced there are not over half a dozen which are of public interest that will be enacted Into law.

There are several bills to legalize grand lists and others of a private nature which are of no public interest whatever, but the larger proportion of the bills represent tho Idea of some amateur law-maker, who came determined to have some local whim AVER'S HAIR VIGOR fulfills alt the promises made for it, is the verdict of those tho hove tried it. er lil-c DU1U AI r.it 0 limn ihh i. years and do not know of a single case where it did not give entire satisfaction."

JIWTOUY OK TUB RUTLAND RAILROAD. The Rutland railroad running from Burlington to Hollows Kails, a distance of about 121 miles, waa chartered in the year 1S43.

The charter was modified in 1S17 and the name was changed to tho Rutland and Burlington railroad. There was Intenso rivalry between the) builders of th Vermont Central and this Rutland as to which should be the first to open up communication between Boston and Burlington Both line were completed in 1859 under Intense rivaJary. the first train of cars from Boston reaching Burlington came over the Rutland on December 19 ot that year. Tho road struggled along until 18S3. when It passed Into the! hands of mortgage trustees under Interesting circumstances.
