In another column, under the head of
{. General Intelligence will be found a
letter copied from the Vermont Chroni-
Gle, written to that paper by President
Wheeler, of Burlington College. From
his own statement. it appears that the.
" Rev. Dr." wrote tnis letter to the Chron-
icle on tie Sabbath! What say you to
this, Deacon Davenport2
Because some of the hands did a Title
work of necessity" in the Telegraph
Office, on a Sabbath, without being re-.
Iquired or directed BY me to do it, Dea.
Barzillai Davenport made complaint in
due form. against me, TO the constituted
authorities. But finding him: elf unable
to raise the wind " in this way. he com
menced operations in another form g or
in other forms. He sent TO Hnbbardton
TO employ brother Churchill 70 take up
the case, but did not succeed. He must
have been very ignorant Of the character
| of the man he was II ying to make tool
of. How many others he tried, before
he found one whom he could employ as
his instrument, | know not. And whether
the Editor OF the Chronicle was has in
strument. in the part he acted for soroe
one WHO employed him in the case, Meth.
er Of them have yet told me, otherwise
thar by tacilly conserving TO what al
lodged: viz: that the circumstances Of the
case made it satisfactorily plain to me that
the Editor of the Chronicle was used as
the Deacon's tool, He has never denied
il. Nor has the Deacon. presume they
will not deny It, because they dare not.
Il will be remembered that the Editor
of the Chronicle. on his own responsible.
ity. told his readers that 81 report unfa-
vorahle to the Editor of the Vermont
Telegraph reached US, from responsible
source with a request that we should pub
lish it" &c. This repor; pertained 10 the
little "work Of necessity" which / have
before spoken Of. Now here is CON-
munication published in the Chronicle.
which was written for that paper on the
Sabbath. Does the Editor of the Chron-
icle think il unfavorable " 10 the " Rev.
d. D." who wrote it, that he did such
thing! If SO, why not have the honesty
and fidelity TO say it, If motif he jus
tifes the Rev. Dr." in furnishing man
ascript for tie Chronicle on The Sabbath,
OF course he must justify his compositor,
under like circumstances, in pulling The
same manuscript IN type on the Sabbath
and then why not by the same rule take
the impressions on the Sabbath distribute
and read the same on the Sabbathq &c.
&c. &c. Can Deacon Davenport, who
is lawyer, afford any salutary advice in
the case, for the benefit of the g Rev.
D. d., President of the Vermont Uni
vcrsity, and of the jesuitical rabbi of the
Vermont Chronicleq Doubtless human
law is the paramount thing with them.
And i lawyer Davenport, the Deacon,
can shov them wherein they have trans
gressed the letter or the spirit Of the hu.
mar statute, they will Of course manifest
due penitence. 81.
A FRIGHTFUL HAIL STORM, at Clude.

10 the afternoon, during divine service
The glass in the chapels were so entirely
dashed in that the congregations took shell
ter IN opposite sides oftheir houses ia great
agitation and dismay, and the ministers
had TO suspend their services and to leave
their pulpits. The destruction of gardens
and OF fields of grain is dreadful, and the
fruit has been almost entirely beaten from
the trees. The lesson was solemn one

dependence ofcreatures on his goodness
