rmi, and env That lage" ha go. Our hand and foot, soul and to the Juggernaut of republicanism. We see it stated that the Democrats and Good Templars of Brandn united on a clean temperance ticket for town officers at the March meeting, and elected every man on it, save the constable. Those awful creatures, the Democrats, having had a hand in the affair, the correspondent of the Herald thinks "the result in the end will be more injurious than otherwise to the temperance cause." Exactly. What a difference it does make with some folks whose ox is gored The March number of Scribner's Monthly Magazine contains another installment of "The Great South," giving its readers numerous and graphic illustrations of life among the mountains in Western North Carolina.

These papers are among the most valuable contributions to the history and resources of that large portion of our country which have ever been published. The article on the Credit Mobilier will attract attention as a very candid historical sketch of that affair, and all its connections. In topics of the times. Dr. Holland discusses literary hindrances, and the delusions of drink, the latter one of the most sensible articles on that subject we have read for many days.

Scribner's Magazine improves with each issue. Scribner New York, Publishers. The women's movement in the temperance cause seems to have reached Vermont, though it has not yet taken the precise form of the Western movement. Three hundred ladies of Rutland met on Saturday of week before last, and were entertained by some stirring and appropriate speeches by several of their number. They passed resolutions favoring the enforcement of the prohibitory law, sustaining the officers engaged in the work, and thanking the proprietors of the Bates House for closing their bar, which report says they have only moved up stairs, and are selling liquor as freely as ever.

These resolutions of the ladies look well in print. We commend their earnestness in the cause. But all this wUl not stay the tide of intoxication, nor stop the sale of liquor. There needs so be a moral sentiment at the foundation of all efforts in the cause, which shall discountenance the drinking habits of the day. In this direction the ladies can do much we had almost said more than can be done by them than by any other class in community.

Dio Lewis in IXontpelier. One of the largest audiences ever assembled in Montpelier gathered in Trinity Hall, last Sunday evening, to lLten to Dr. Dio Lewis, of Boston, who had been invited to address the people on the subject of temperance. It is said that the ladies who were instrumental in procuring the services of this noted cold water agitator desired and expected a strictly set "temperance" speech, but in this they were somewhat disappointed. After prayer by Rev.

N. N. Glazier, the Doctor spoke in an entertaining and familiar way of Temperance as a Christian work, but said comparatively nothing of the evil effect of alcoholic drink upon the human system, or whether or not mm shops were a curse. If the audience had not learned that fact, let them go home and wait forty years longer. lie would answer such queries by singing "Nearer my God to Thee." The details of the woman's temperance crusade inaugurated by Dr.

Lewis in Southern Oliio, which has been extensively reported by the press, he spoke of at considerable length, giving wonderful instances of its progress and success. lie is a firm believer in sappres-ing the sale of liquors by moral suasion, and equally firm in the belief that it is a work designed especially for women at work that they are to accomplish by prayer. He thought nothing could be accomplished unless all efforts were made in the spirit of Christ "heart within and God overhead. "Xo victories were ever won by mad prayers, they only injured the cause." Dr. Lewis urged that a work similiar to that in the West be done in Montpelier, and asked that a committee of five be appointed to suggest the names of three ladies from each church in town, to be styled an executive committee.

It was some time before ladies could be found willing to do even that, several who were first and foremost in prosecuting the recent prohibitory law temperance work in town persistently declining to tike active part in inaugurating a movement of this character. But finally Joseph Poland, A. C. Brown, Mrs. J.

B. Woodward, Miss Lucy J. Bradshnw and Muss Lucy W. Gurnsey, took seats on the platform, and made the following nominfc tions, which the audience confirmed Mrs. W.

Robert Hall, of London. Zaeh Chandler, the Michigan Senator, has sued the Detroit Free Press for intimating that he got drunk, and was carried out of the Senate Chamber in a state of beastly intoxication, and put to sleep in a committee room. Milton R.

Tyler, a native of Essex, and of good Democratic stock, but who unfortunately strayed into the republican camp, received the handsome compliment to his official integrity and his excellent qualifications, of an almost unanimous re-election to the office of City Judge of Burlington. William Gilmore, a native of Vermont, died very suddenly at Belmont, Nye county, Nevada, on the 12th tilt. He was unloading wood when hist seen alive, and was found lying with his face on the grcund, dead, only a few minutes afterwards. He was a quiet, industrious man, about 27 years of age. Richard Grogan gave the republican party a terrible scathing on the occasion of his last meeting in the Green Mountain State, at Brandon, preparatory to Ins departure to Kentucky, "where there was no liquor law, and where there are opportunities for moral suasion." He declared he would never cast another ballot for the republican party.

W.

Howe i for fi was elected as a "temperance" Grand Ju- any ror, when the facts are that he was the rniuT candidate of the liberal men against 5k- ij. rill Gilman, the especial ramrod pet, whom gjn Tho fnVnds of Post Brooks, No. 13, of Montpelier, may well congratulate them selves on the success whicn was mewru them in their attempt to present the military allegory of "Vermont in the Rebellion," before our people. The drama was put upon the stage under the super vision of the Veil-known veteran huiam, TVin Wnrne-ater. and was witnessed nightly by crowded houses.

Thursday and Friday evenings the crowds were so immense that scores upon scores had to be denied even standing room in Village Hall, and to accommodate the many who were anxious to witness the play, it was repeated on Saturday night. Even then the Hall prov ed insufiicient to accommodate all, and by special request a repetition of the play was nromised for Wednesday and Thursday evenings of this week. Of the play itself not much can be said in its praise the plot having but little of the sensational in its character except as it brings back vividly to memory the vicissitudes and trials tlironjjh which many of its actors passed during the dark and bloody days of the rebellion. The main attraction, now- ever, was to witness the acting of Miss Mina E. Gregory, the talented artiste, who appeared in the role of "Alice Stewart, the Union Nurse." Though playing her part with much ability, we must confess to a feeling of disappointment that the char acter was so devoid of startling incidents as to allow her no opportunity of display ing her rare histrionic talents, a fact which none probably regretted more than Miss Gregory.

On Saturday evening, however, she amply repaid the vast assemblage by a reading of "The Sleeping Sentinel," which was rendered with thrilling effect, and received with unbounded applause. To the remaining actors much praise is due for the skillful manner in which they rendered their parts, many of them displaying uncommon talent. Miss Florence ing as "Mehitable," personated a country girl to perfection, while W. II. Clark as "Ben ny Simmons," her lover, evinced himself a true hero in both love and war.

George W. Wing acted the part of "Timothy 0 Brien, a true Milesian," as though he were "to the manor born," and J. O. Livingstone, as Carl Schmidt, a "native of de putiful Rhine," well, he acted his eliarac-ter admirably, but just think of that elongated form impersonating a genuine Dutchman. As Jeff, a "colored geraraan," G.

Bean, was a success, he being "a trump card," and the same may be said of William Cochran, another "adopted brother." The parts taken br Messrs. George L. Lane and John C. Cave rivals in love and on the battle field gave those gentlemen a chance to display the rare talent which they possess. AV.

II. Barnes as "Jack AA'codrufT1 acted well his part, and his "death in Saulsbury Prison" brought a thrill of sadness to the heart of many, as they thought of friends and relatives who had suffered and perished in those dens of horror. The "fancy bayonet drill" showed that those who participated in it had not forgotten their "manual," they going through the evolutions with admirable ease and facility. The "drilling" of "Benny Simmons1 raw recruits" was "side splitting." In this latter drill the palm for awkwardness must be awarded to our old friend, Capt. A.

A. Sweet, his movements constantly eliciting bursts of laughter from the audience. The tableaux were elegant, and not too much can be said in their praise, but our space compels us to stop. as much a matter of congratulation to our citizens as to the members of the Post, it teLn a. home institution, and organized for the most benevolent purposes- Wednesday evening- will be the "benefit" of Pan AVorcester, who has been to considerable expense in preparing the play and furnishing scenery, and should be well remunerated.

On this evening Mrs. Dan Worcester will make -her first appearance on the stage, and Mrs. George L. Lane will take the part heretofore played by Miss Greg ory a part which she has heretofore given evidence that she is eminently capable of filling. Thursday evening for the benefit of the nieinbers of the company, and they deserve much success.

Thev have worked hard now let them have a crowded house. "The Best Mex. This specious phrase the Jacobins in Underbill used to beguile some Democrats with at March meeting, just as the spider invited the fly into its parlor. Do those Democrats remember who it was that stood by them in the dark days of Know-Xothingism, when the Grant- ites they acted with Tuesday of last week were engaged in a bitter crusade against their birth and religion? How do they like to have republicans laughing about them behind their backs, and boasting of how they "fooled Paddy," as they call the men of Irish descent? For citizens of Irish descent to forgot their friends is a rare occurrence, and we should not have been much more surprised to have heard that some of our Underbill friends had gone back on their church, thau which we can say nothing stronger. How did thev like the jeering of the Free Press over their action? "Send for Wales." From time im memorial it has been the custom of the republican party in Burlington, when hard up, to "send for Wales." It was supposed when Mr.

Wales resigned from the Board of Aldermen, on account of his not very pleasant connection with the shavings job, and several other quite unpleasant affairs. that the old "send for Wales crv" was "played out." It was thought that he had had a surfeit of Aldermanic honors, and would now "rest in peace." It seems, however, that the old itching for office is not yet dead within him, and that he has consented to play second fiddle to Hunt ington. Atwater. Van Sicklen. in t.h Board of Aldermen.

Such an elegant tick et of ramrods could only have been elected in Ward Two. Look out for iobs. Patrons of Husbandry. Wednesday of last week, Deputy D. E.

Alfred Lttehlield, Jacob Kk-hards, Georse 1'nire; Over- if for a of of A conference between the Trustees and Faculty of the Vermont Agricultural Col lege and the State Board of Agriculture took place at Burlington a few weeks since. the object of which was to consider what change is necessary, if any, in the College, to carry out fully the purposes of the char ter. A course of lectures during the com ing Spring, on agricultural chemistry, bot any, fish culture, dairying, bee keeping, and forestry, occupying four weeks in de livery, was suggested by Prof. Collier. Mr, Jameson thought such a course of lectures would not meet with much favor.

Ther was a feeling of dissatisfaction in the State in regard to the Agricultural College, which in some cases was vehemently expressed, The farmers desired that practical agricul ture should be illustrated to the students of that department. Mr. Heath suggested the improvement of the lands belonging to the College, and that on the eight or ten acres which might be employed for agricultural purposes four hundred students might en joy the instruction of the College, in prac tical agriculture, horticulture, landscape, gardening, veterinary science. etcT The conclusion of the conference was that the lectures proposed were desirable, to be giv en next Winter, and that the ground back of the College should be improved as means of practical instruction to the stu dents. The dissatisfaction with the Col lege comes to the jjublic mainly through the Vermont Farmer, at St.

Johnsbury, wnich declares it to be the purpose of the grange organization to investigate the manner in which the funds appropriated to that institution have been applied, intimating, of course, that in some way they have been misapplied. The response which this intimation received at this conference was that President Buckham "would be illing "to go before the Supreme Court and testi- "fy that not a dollar of the funds had in State been misapplied, or diverted "from its proper and original purpose, statement which was entirely unnecessary for the President to make, because nobody believes the charge to be true The "organ" at St. Johnsbury grinds out just the kind of music we anticipated. Our article on the grange platform of the pol ilicians in that order for the next State elec tion seems to have upset its equanimity Of course, since the "organ" has issued its pronuneiamento on the subject, all discus sion or questioning is out of order, or, as the organ delicately puts it, "unworthy of notice." Very well. But we shall not be deterred thereby from the independent ex pression of our views or opinions in the matter, nor of our doubt whether the Fanner represents the grange movement in its arrogant and ostentatious assumjjtion of the era ire demands.

The farmers of Vermont are sensible men the Fanner-well we don't want to say. In the United States Senate on Friday last the centennial bill was considered, and after amendment, was referred to the com niittee on appropriations. It simply requests the President to invite the Gover nors of each of the United States to be represented, and take part in the national exhibition. The Senate also passed the liquor commission bill, hich provides for the appointment of a commission to ex amine into the matter of the sale and use of intoxicating liquors. The Grand Master of Masons in Vermont has revoked and abrogated his edict of non-intercourse with the Masons un der the jurisdiction of the Grand Lodge I IIIIIKI new Grand Lodge of Quebec having been amicablv adjusted, and the former having ceased to assert its masonic jurisdiction i 1 1 1 1 trie proTince of Quebec.

The triumph of lion lUitler is complete in the confirmation of Simmons as Col lector of Boston. The vote stood 27 to 17 Eight of the eleven Representatives from Massachusetts opposed him. Butler had only two of the Bepresentatives with him, but the three were too strong for the op position, and Butler's "Christian youn man" was confirmed. After the vote was declared, Simmons had a sort of ovation at Willard's. The Boston Globe waxes very indignant at the result, and makes sundry charges against the President, of which the following are examples: He Is "tiie willing tool of tiie man" Hutler, tliat bis proffs.sions of civil service are but the itieaiimtrlt-ss chatter of a )Klitician.

That he has UeMoemlel irom his hiirb place to "act the part of a lobbyist:" and that the President's "one rule of conduct'7 is to befriend those who betriend him; that he makes of the immense patronage at his msposal a hue jritt enterprise nmt lie is not liicir leaner; thsit there is a power ueniml nini; tuat Uiat power Is Ueneral Butler, This is not the first time that President Grant has been accused by his friends of "lobbying" measures through Congress. The charges are not made by Democrats, but by republicans themselves, who ought to know whereof they speak. In this instance the Globe correspondent says the President threw out the hint to Carpenter, Chandler and Cameron, the throe parasites of the President, that he would be pleased with the news of Mr. Simmons1 confirmation. The hint was enough.

In compliance with the vote of the State Teachers' Association, the Massachusetts Teacher is hereafter to have a Vermont department, conducted by Kev. J. C. W. Coxe, of Montpelier, and Bev.

II. T. Fuller, of St. Johnsbury. Brief articles on educational subjects are invited from all who are interested in the subject, and may be sent to either of the above named gentlemen.

We would respectfully suggest that one of the most important subjects for discussion is the importance of having a Board of Education and a Secretary that are interested in the welfare of the common schools of the State, and will labor for the education of the masses in the primary schools. By the present Board and Secretary these matters are overlooked, until it is a common remark, and a true one, too, that our district schools are not nearly in so good a condition to-day as they were when J. S. Adams was Secre-' tary of the Board. Ever since he left that position, the schools have retrograded, and the office of Secretary has been made the stepping stene to the introduction of favorite text books, rather than an earnest effort to elevate the standard of the common schools of the State.

The Rutland Herald illustrates its ideas of "civility and courtesy" by the following statement The Democratic partv as a whole are theapol-otristi ant! supporters ot "th liquor trade, and the Democratic newspapers as a general rule are tilled with sneers upon temperance people, and always hike especial pains, in making reports of liquor seizures and attempts to enforce the Ihw, to bold up the oflicers, and those who are active in the matter, to ridicule and scorn, and so color every staienieni as to uiscoumge tne eniorce-ment of law ami encourage lawless violence, and violations of the moral sense of the people. This is a statement which we not only deny, but ask the Herald to bring forward the proof, if it has any, of a single one of its allegations. That "Democratic newspapers" do not favor the gross partiality used by the republicans in the enforcement of their prohibitory law, by which they allow one class of violators of the law to continue their illegal traffic without molestation, whilst they visit another class with its extreme penalties, we are free to admit. Justice to all is the Democratic motto. We believe one violator of law to be no better than another, and whilst republican officials continue to make so broad a distinction between them as they do an account of position or politics, doubtless "Democratic newspapers" will continue to expose the rottenness of their hypo-crital friendship for temperance and the law.

Let the law be enforced upon all offenders alike. They do not all belong to one party, or to one sect. There are republicans as well as Democrats who sell liquor, and become intoxicated. Let the former also feel the severity of the law. We know of republican liquor sellers who continue the traffic right under the nose of republican officials.

They are shielded from prosecution, whilst their Democratic neighbors are arrested and fined. Such enforcement of law the "Democratic news papers" will ever condemn, and the Herald itself would do so too, were it not bound in Montpelier was a "temperance" triumph, rp in its understanding of the meaning of the 0f term "temperance. Mr. Howe was the r. candidate of Democrats and liberal rcpub- jie jn licans, and as such was elected.

here i The Savings Bank held its annual meet- jtv ing1 last week Tuesday, and elected the a him that although the bill was made out against the town, on his books it was on, inallv charged to Z. C. Camp, and was so oharo-ed at that time. The inference that Mr. Pace drew was that when Mr.

Cam was pecuniarily responsible Mr. Taplin had charged the work, to him, but when reverses had overtaken Mr. Camp he thought he would try and get it out of the town, though the fact that the charge was against Mr. Camp and not the town indicated he had originally supposed Mr. Camp and not the town his debtor.

This view of the case Mr. Page communicated to Mr. Taplin, who he thought acted as if admitting its justice, and declined to audit the claim as a just one against the town TThfn a new Board of Selectmen was chosen, a year ago last Tuesday, Mr. Page went to Joel Foster, and told him all the facts, warning him to look out when the bill came to him for payment, as it would. This warning Mr.

Foster says he forgot, and the bill was paid, as were a number of others coming under the same head bills that the town ought not to have paid. The very night that Mr. Fos ter wa3 elected Selectman he started for Boston to buy liquors for a town rumshop, and devoted other time to looking after rum matters, but does not seem to have been so attentive to town business in other respects, and that he was not re-elected is doubtless for the best interests of the town the liquor question being thrown entirely out of the issue. His surplus money re port, written and verbal, the 1 iquor agent report, the attempt to get up a check list, and other matters, as well as that spoken of above, shows him to have been rather careless, a fact doubtless accounted for on the ground that his duties in connection with the Montpelier and Wells River rail road and the business of Hyde Foster engrossed his attention so that be could not give proper attention to the interests of Montpelier. His honesty we will not question, but his lack of efficiency no one can deny.

Simon Cameron, Senator from Pennsylvania, procured the appointment by the President, and forced the Senate to confirm, for Surveyor Gen eral of Colorado a man who, according to sworn testimony furnished before confirma tion, openly rejoiced over the killing of Mr. Lincoln, and was only sorry he had not been killed before; who boasted all through the war that he was a rebel; who dealt in fraudulent naturalization papers for the purpose of defeating the republicans for Congress and who never was, and is not now, a republican. At first Cam eron could not obtain even a hearing of the case by the Senate, but he opened a sort of hirh toned grocery in the room of the Committee on Foreign Relations, and, after some days' hard work, succeeded in driving the confirmation through that body. "Terrorism" in Burlington.

When we copied the article on "Terrorism11 in Burlington, published on the fourth page, we hoped that the picture might be overdrawn, but the developments would indicate that hope not to have been well founded. The Sentinel says it has in its possession an autograph letter of George E. Davis, of Mathews Davis, in which he states that Robert McLoughlin was discharged "becaztse he voted for E. M. Sutton "for Aldennan." What a high-toned reason for discharging an employe! Mathews Davis would evidently have been more at home in the days when they hung Quakers and burned witches than in these later times.

Black slavery has been abolished at the South; are the white laborers at the North now to become the serfs of their employers? What Does He Mean? What does Chase mean discoursing as follows in his Lyndon Union Speaking of a recent visit to St. Johnsbury he says Now -we know the secret of Calvin Morrill's popularity. We recently stepped into one of the saloons, and the proprietor urged us to take a plassof cider. We declined, of course, "llmt," said the proprietor, "reminds me of Judjre Morrill. When lie comes in with a temperance man he always takes cold water, but when be comes in with the other class be uauaUy wnntsabouttwo glasses of cider." There Is a raying that a certain prominent person is "always near when vou are talking about him." The proprietor Iiad scarcely lintshed his sentence when Morrill stepped in, followed by E.

II. tstone, the new Countv Commissioner. "Sir," said Morrill, In accents most positive, "tee will take two stews of oysters and Two glasses of water." Stone bestowed upon him an approving1 smile. Morrill return it with an expression of countenance indicating the most positive and uncompromising temperance principles. Then the two retired perfectly satisfied with each other, to dispose of their temperance repast, and the proprietor with a sly wink seemed to say, "Catch either one of those fellows alone and I could get an extra dime out of him without half trying." Had to Recant.

In a fit of passion the Burlington Free Press made the statement that the word of one of its friends in that city would "outweigh the assertion of the entire Democracy of the Fifth Ward," which was going it pretty strong when it is taken into account that Judge Smalley, Mayor-elect Blodgett, Elmore Johnson, and other gentlemen of equally high standing, are residents of that AVard. This was too mucli, and the Free Press has had to recant, saying that it was a "hasty remark," which it did not mean to have taken ''literally," as it has "sincere respect" for many of the Democrats of that section of its city. The poor old Free Press IS having a fearfully hard time of it just now Connection Dissolved. Saturday last Mr. W.

And it might as well add also that there are not a few republicans in Burlington to whom the prohibitory law is as ofiensive as it is to the same number of Democrats. And yet the Democrats were more liberal in the city election than the Free Press clique, for they not only nominated, but gave a solid vote for that straight-out temperance man, Samuel Huntington, for Alderman, and for President Buckham for school commissioner, when a straight Democrat might just as well have been elected instead. Besides, if the Free Press told the truth on election morning, when it attempted to work the "liquor interest" in favor of the republicans, they have elected a temperance Mayor. In its rage over the result the Free Press threat- sjlllitp this citizens oi liiir, mi- ton the constabulary law, and a police force to enforce tne law.

Suggestions in regard to the transaction of the business of the Order, were offered by Messrs. Brainard and Jameson, of the State Executive Commit tee, which, after a general discussion, were heartily approved. On motion, the following resolution was adopted: Th.it tins meeting desires to call the attention of the Order to the condition of the nrnie Agricultural College, and to express an emphatic diHJinnrovfll of tilts inisannronrijttinn the Agricultural College Fund tu the Mate by the Trustees aud faculty thereof. After an address by Col. Albert Clarke, adjourned to meet at Essex Junction, on Thursday, April 2.

The talk of Col. Clarke was not generally approved by those present at the meeting, there beino evidently a "cat in the and during its delivery it was greeted by evident and emphatic words of condemnation. A Disgruntled Crowd. If you want to see a disgruntled crowd, the sorriest set of soreheads you ever looked upon, just go to Burlington, where the party beaten last week seem to take their defeat as a personal matter. That Lawrence Barnes, their big gun, should be defeated for May or, and that S.

M. Pope, their grand reserve in the oth Ward, should be extin guished by E. M. Sutton, who has been their especial bete noir, seems almost in credible to them they cannot realize that such misfortunes have overtaken them. These things grind them to the dust, and make them so cross that they will not speak to their successful opponents when they meet them, which is another illustra tion of the old -saw about biting their own noses off to spite their neighbors.

If they do not want to be civil, other people can stand it as long as they can. Alderman- to be Elected. Burlington is to have another Aldermanic election, Hon. Calvin II. Blodzrctt havin" resigned his seat in the Board from the 5th Ward, because of his election as Mayor.

The Demoerats will probably nominate B. B. Smalley, for the place, and if they do he will be elected, which will be just as it should, Mr. Smalley being a gentleman of brains, energy, and character. Probably the republicans will make no fight against him, but if they do we do not telieve it will make any difference, for we don't think they have got the man who can beat "Brad." A Practical Demonstration.

A practical demonstration of the popularity of the management of Pease's hotel, at White River Village, was the attendance at the Annual Bali last week Wednesday evening, when over one hundred couples were present, all of whom will remember the occasion as a red letter day in their lives. The best of music, good order, a tip-top supper, and courteous treatment, made the occasion an highly enjoyable one. A Self-Evident Fact. The St. Johnsbury Caledonian of last week, in a lugubrious tone, speaks of a self-evident fact, in commenting on Simmons' confirmation as Collector at Boston, when it says, "It "has been pretty well demonstrated in this "affair if it hasn't been before that Ben.

"Butler is running this administration." Exactly and what are you going to do about it? An Inventory Taken. The Jacobin "ring" at Burlington have been taking an inventory of their stock in trade, etc. After several years of what has seemed very successful business for them, the Sentinel says their assets are as follows Four Aldermen, one two dollar colored voter. one "unprovoked assault," some broken glass, a Daaiy Deaien ana mucn aemorauzeu party ana "great expectations" in the future. present, as well as others interested in the work, though there were some notable absences.

Mrs. W. II. Lord conducted the meeting, and much interest and even enthusiasm was manifested. Those present signified their willingness to aid in the promotion of temperance, in such ay as ihoulJ be deemed advisable.

Pravcr meet- I i I i Unjust Pauperism. There is st just and an tinj ixst pauperism some men are exempt from taxation for good reasons, ami others for very poor ones. Some ciises of the Litter cropped out at the recent March meeting, in Montpelier, when the "temperance" party overdid themselres in expounding the law as to what constitutes a legal voter. Tiie statute provides that to be a voter in March meeting a man must be a resident at the time of the and have a grand list in town. This is the law, with certain exceptions, one of which is that if any one has been exempted from taxation by the listers on account of poverty, in which case, ii residents, they are entitled to vote.

A student from the Methodist Seminary on the hill presented himself as a resident and offered to vote, although he had no list in town, on the ground that lie as a pauper, or too poor to pay taxes. The Board of Civil Authority decided to let him vote, a majority of the in beinr of the ramrod persuasion. Heuce this pauper, though a big and stal wart fellow, who looked as though he ought to be able to chop two cords ot wood a day, duly deposited his vote. It was soon discoered that several more of this same class of paupers from Seminary Hill were on hand to vote, but the Board reversed the decision they had made, and the rest of the paupers were excluded from voting. We advise the town authorities to see to it that these fellows do not cain a residence, so as to become a town charge, and make taxes that they do not help pay.

Able bodied young men slftmld either help bear the burden of supporting the govern ment, or else not attempt by their votes to decide who shall expend the taxes they desire to help levy, but do not want to as sist in paying. "Fair play is a jewel." A ViLLArvors Lie, The statement in the Free Press of Tuesday, and which has been peddled about Montpelier by people whose love of saying mean things about their neighbors is greater than their regard for the truth, that the death of Mi chael McMahon "is to be attributed direct ly to liquor," is a viliianous lie. Michael McMahon resided at Gouldsville, and was employed as a railroad section man, as he had been ever since his arrival in this country. He was not a dissipated person, and stood well among his acquaintances and friends, as a man of good habits. lie came to Montpelier last week Wednesday.

Whengetting on the train to leave, he was caught between the train and the wall at the south entrance of the depot, and crush ed so he died the same evening. Dr. J. B. Woodward, the physician called.

Rev. J. M. Duglue, who administered the consolations of religion to the dying man, and other people equally reliable say there were no indications, either in his conduct or his breath, that he had been drinking. But there are ghouls who infest this communi ty who seem willing to invade even the sanctity of the grave if thereby they think they can add a single howl to the fury with which they are endeavoring to follow better men in many respects than they.

Because they are mad, is no reason whv they should blacken the memory of poor Michael McMahon, and cause his already sorely stricken friends additional grief. McMahon was not intoxicated when he came to his death, and those who say he was must be children of the cevil, for we read that the devil is a liar and the father of liars. Despicably Meax. The personal war fare made on Alderman Sutton, of Bur lington, has been most despicable, and none of it more so than what the St. Al bans Advertiser published.

How would the Editor of the Advertiser appreciate it Democratic papers should retaliate in kind? In thufetcase would he like us to hint of profanity almost without a parallel, drinking habits, and other vices? Isn't the glass in your house, and in that of some of your near friends, rather too thin you to be tossing rocks at that of E. M. ill' charges by Davis Hatch, of South Norwalk, for ernel treatment, and held in bail for trial. Air. Hatch, bile a resident of St- Domingo, was suddenly arrested for some offence, tried before a drum head court martial and sentenced to death, but pardoned and his property confiscated.

The Directors of the Faumpsie railroad have chosen Col. George A. Merrill, now Superintendent of the New London Northern railroad, to be Manager of their road, and be will move to Lyndonville. Col. Merrill is a gentleman, besides being a good railroad man, and the people on the line of that road will be glad that he is to have charge of it.

James M. English, who died in Burling ton last week, was a native of Mai-shfield, and was for several years clrk in the insurance office of the late Salmon Wires, of Burlington. In went to Chicago, 111., where his superior abilities as a bookkeeper soon found him in a fine position, he ranking among commercial men a3 one of the best experts in that city. He returned to Burlington about two years ago, and since that time has been mostly employed as clerk in the office of the Burlington gas company. His disease was quick consumption.

Eminently Satisfactoiiy. The entertainments given by the AVhitniore Clark Minstrel Company this season are eminently satisfactory, and call forth unequivocal commendations from all of the crowds that have made up the vast audiences that have everywhere greeted At Burlington there was literally not even standing room left in the large City Hall at St. Albans they paid money back, and stopped selling tickets; at Montpelier scores had to be turned away from Village Hall and the same might be said of four-fiftlis of the places in which they have showed this season. More truthfully than ever before can it be said of them that their repertoire is entirely new and fresh, they presenting more novelties this year than ever before, not one of their jokes or acts when at the Capital being anything that "we had ever before heard or seen. George M.

Clark, the universal favorite, was never in better spirits or voice, and was never received with more rapturous applause than this year, as was meet and right, for he deserved it. Hank White, the inimitable, bore off the palm for grotesque gestures, un-surpassably droll acting, and a general tout ensemble that can only be described as side splitting. Frank S. Morton is a capital middle man, as was proved by the hits he made, and sang well. Thomas Maynard dorre his part as well as he feels, than which nothing more could be asked, he being the best feeling gentleman we ever knew, though a severe cold interfered most an-noyingly to him with the clearness of his voice.

The cornet playing of L. C. Bead would be hard to equal, he demonstrating himself a master on that instrument, and worthy to be ranked with the first. The donble song and dance, as well as the double clog hornpipe, of Conway and Mack gave evidence that they are indeed "champions" in their specialties. The "Good Morning' of Morton and Hank White was "just splendid," with a finale new and seeming almost real.

Andy Wyatt, leader of the orchestra, made his violin actually seem alive with the spirit of music, winning the opproval of all by his playing. Master Freddie was "up to snuff1' in his parts, as in the past. On the clarionet Abbott proved himself an adept. And E. P.

Hardy was the cool, imperturable, and ever ready Business Manager that he has ever been. The "Antedeluvian Festivities" at the close was "a roaring farce" indeed," the audi ence being fairly convulsed with laughter, because of the acting and agility of "Hank" and "Johnny," "Hank," and that "kitten" being "too killing." As a whole, the Company is a strong one, and has added to the prestige the organization has gained in the past, which has assured it its immense audiences, and made lots of money for Messrs. Clark Hardy, the proprietors. Besides this, as ha9 been the ease with this Company every year, they are all quiet and unassuming gentlemen off the stage, as well as excellent before the footlights, which is more than can be truthfully said of all minstrel organizations and show companies.
