VERMONT AND MAssAcHusErTs RAIL Road
We copy the following from the N. " Express,
credited Eastern paper
We regret to learn that some persons on the
proposed route Of the Vermont and Massachusetts
Railroad, in New Hampshire, refuse TO permit the
road to pass through their lands at any price,
any terms. Thus few obstinate men, under the
sanction Of certain description Of legislation, may
defeat great public enterprise, and injure them
selves at the same time"
This is sheer mistake. This road does not run
through New Hampshire at all, and the right is
given to il TO take land without the owners consent
If necessary. But SO far, lands owners have shown
the greatest berality.
We are happy to announce that the prospects of
the road were better than at present, and il
cannot be defeated by few obstinate men.

Emily. Father are you locofocol
DRAMArrs observation-disclosures and Children.

Emily. Father are you a locofoco?
Father. belong to the party called by the
wings locofocos, but we call ourselves demo-
Gratis, as IL is more popular name.
Charles. Father, what is the difference be-
tween a wing, and locofoco, or democratic
Father. | fear you are too young to under
stand all the points Of difference, but the one
which principally concern us is: That the
wings are the advocates Of high prices; whilst
the democratic measures tend to reduce the
price of articles of consumption, and the wa
ges Of laborers.
Charles. Would you have to pay John, the
gardener, any less, il your man for President
is electedl
Father. Yes, have no doubt could get
many men Just as good as John, for 50, where
as now give him So.
Emily But how would il be if that dread
Tul man Clay, who is in favor of that horrible
Tariff you were telling US about last night was
elected.
Father. Why, | really fear | should have
to give him $40, or $40 month, or he would
get higher wages elsewhere.
Charles. What is the reason people would
get higher wages under Clay, than under Mr.
Polk.
Father. Because under Mr. Clay all the
working people would be in demand; but Mr.
Polk is in favor of free trade, and every thing
we use WOulu COIut lIOul WuCiO idOOi-
ers only get sixpense a day.
Mary Oh, wish Mr. Polk may be elected;
FOR then mother can get her Saxony carpet so
cheap'
Mother. Yes, my dear, this foolish tariff
has raised the price Of wool from 25 cents up
TO half dollar pound.
Emily. But mother you bought very good
Ingram carpet the other day, for less than you
ever paid for one before.
Mother. Ingram! Bless me child, that was
American, and you know dislike any thing
American.
Charles Would we get what we eat for
less with Mr. Polk than with Mr. Clay for Pres
ident.
Father No doubt we would, and for the
reason that the manufacturers would require so
much.
Emily. But would not that be bad for I'M
Gle William, who is farmer.
Father. Your uncle would not get much
for his grain, but farmers you know live within
themselves, and it is unreasonable for them to
expect to make money. With me it is differ
ent. If can buy every thing cheap can live
much better than under the system promised
US by the wings.
Charles. But would laborers get enough to
live upon.
Father. That is not my business. Mr. Blu
chansn, (who ought to know,) thinks ten cents
day enough for them, and think so too.

MUM note, without reference to any endorsement,

Montpelier, on or before the 10Th day Of October,
1874, being the day of the annual meeting Of said
Company A list Of persons insured in his town,
with the amount Of assessment due from each, will
be transmitted TO the Representative elect TO the
Legislature, who il is hoped will feel an interest in
having all from whom assessments are due send in
by him 10 pay the same and il is desired and ez-
pected that every member Of the Company will i'm
prove this opportunity 10 send, as il affords cheap.
safe and convenient mode by which he can trans
nit his money. Members should recollect, that if
they neglect to send by the Representative, il may
and frequently does cost them more TO send the
money for their assessment by other means, than
the assessment amounts 10. Let no member Of the
Company, therefore, neglect 10 forward the amount
due for insurance by The Representative. The
credit Of the Company must be sustained and the
only way this can be done ef1ectually, is by having
each member pay his assessment promptly.
The resolution Of the Directors, passed in con-
formity with the sth section OF the act of ncorpora

Henry Clay AND DUELLING.-Mr. Clay
has written letter 10 number of citizens of
Fayette County, Pa. in regard to duelling, &c.
He saysi
Il expressed, in strong terms OF condemna-
tion, my opinion against duelling in letter
which addressed TO my constituents, in March,
1924, which is TO be found in the published
collection of my speeches. Again, within a
disapprobaton of it by voting, in the Senate
of the United Stales,f for the bill for suppressng
duelling in the District OF Columbia.
With these proofs Of my sentiments, think,
gentlemen, you ought to be satisfied. But you
ask me, if were challenged 10 fight duel,
would reject the invitation! Considering my
age, which is now past 81, | feel that should
expose myself to ridicule if were 10 proclaim
whether would or would not fight duel. II
is certainly one of the most unlikely events
that can possibly be imagined, and 1 cannot
conceive a case ,ohen should be provoked or
tempted TO go 10 The. field OF combat But, as
cannot foresee all The contingencies which
may possibly arise, In the short remnant of my
life, and for the reason which have already
stated, of avoiding any exposure OF myself TO
rdcue, cannot reconcile IL 10 my sense of
proprfelg 10 make declaration one tcay or The
other.
In regard TO the Cey Duel, he says
when | first obtained any knowledge of
Cilley's difficulty with Mr.. Graves, did not
think that there was the smallest occasion for
a combat between them. believed, from the
first, that the matter would be amicably &C"
commodated to that end all my exertons
were directed. ] did not know that It was not
accommodated until the day when, and after
the parties went on 10 fight. On that day
was confined to my room, by illness, and it
was altogether accidental that obtained in
formation as to the plan, or the hour of their
meeting. Contrary TO the impression which
you entertain, did advise the employment of
the police to arrest the parties and prevent
the duel. The constables accordingly went
out in search of them, but like myself, being
ignorant Of the time and place Of their meeting,
they mistook the route, and failed In the ac-
complishment of the arrest III. CLAY.
With such facts as the above, and a thousand
Others as conclusive, staring them in the face,
we still find men who are base and clicked
enough to daily Islander one Of the best and
purest statesmen our county has ever pro-
duced.

MYSTERIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES. About two
months since, lady in delicate situation,
apparently about twenty-five or thirty years of
age, genteely dressed, and having the appear
ance of one who had enjoyed the smiles oil the
world, was brought 10 the house Of Mr. Cory,
residing about mile west of the village of
Athens, by middle aged man having the APP
pearance Of farmer. He desired Mr.. Cory 10
take charge of her, assuring him that her ex-
penses, whatever they might be, would be
promptly paid, but requesting him and his
family to ask her no questions, nor to pry at all
into her history or circumstances. Mr.. Cory
received her into his family, and short time
since she was safely delivered Of fine healthy
infant. The mind Of the lady was, apparently,
i'll at ease before and after her confinement;
and soon after her child was born she gradually
sunk and pinned away until last week, when
she died, apparently OF broken heart. Her
physician, (Dr. Wheeler ofAthens) before her
death, timely informed her that she could not
long survive, and eDdeavored to induce her to
reveal her secret, but without success. An
that could be obtained from her was that her
name was Heard, and that she had an aunt re-
siding in the city Of New York. On examn-
ing her trunk there were found three dollars in
money, and scraps Of a manuscript journal
from which il would seem that about a year
since she had visited some relations in Ontario
county. The man that brought her to Mr..
Cory's, visited her but once during her resi-
dence there. The infant remains with Mr..
Cory.
We have felt it our daty to give publicity TO
these facts in hope that-ffom them the friends
Of the unfortunate lady may learn her fate.
