Nail Making--- To Correspond
cntS, &c.

On my return from New York, I found several
communications on hand respecting the above mat
ter, making enquiries, &C., and to avoid unnecessa-
ry time and expense in sending and receiving letters,
l nave deemed it proper to state through this paper
that l have so far cousummated a contract with a
man that he has the refusal of going into the bust
ness, tor some two months or more. When he de-
cides | will publish the decision, and forward copies
OF the paper containing it to those who have written
that they may know whether there is a chance for
them or either orthem to bargain.
Not having copies of the last weeks Voice, con
tanning the above, to forward to all who have writ
ten me on the above matter, l have thought proper
to re insert that notice, and to say in addition to the
description this week copied from the Scientific A.
merican, that the expense of converting properly
formed Bars, ofright quality of iron, into Horse Shoe
Nails, will probably not erceedtwo cents per pound,
and the waste of iron thus manufactured will be less
than in making nails in the usual way. Those who
have sent enquiries from Albany, N. Y.-Harrisburg
and Philadelphia, Pa.-Baltimore, Md.-Hartford,
Ct, or from New York, and from Troy, Ohio, are
hereby informed that due notice will be given them
when the decision first named, is made.

of an interest in it, not arrange so as to close a con-
tract, the one who makes the most liberal offer can
take his place. l must soon leave town and be alb
sent several weeks, and cannot well answer other
enquiries till my return.

FITCHBURG RAILROAD CORPORATION. Accord
held last week, refused to appoint a committee to So
licit aid to the Rutland Railroad. This seems to set
tie the question for the present in regard to that cor
%poration's lending its influence in favor of the in
terests Of the Rutland road. Another question, as I
view the matter, is also settled, which is, that the
stockholders of the Rutland road will not pay their
assessments for building a road which will be de-
pendant on the Fitchburg influence, while under its
present Managers. That there is a goodly number
of Fitchburg, as well as Cheshire stockholders, who
see that their interests demand the building of the
Rutland road, so as to connect with theirs, there is
no doubt. But while the largest interest in the
Fitchburg company feels that its interest in the Cen
trail Railroad demands the action just taken, those
interested in the construction of the Rutland road
will show themselves the rankest kind of " green
horns" should they henceforth appear in the attitude
OF suppliants to the present ruling power of the
Fitchburg corporation. That a railroad from Bur-
lington to Rutland, and thence to Troy, N. Y, via.
Bennington, will soon be built there can be no ra-
tional doubt; and sixty or seventy miles in distance
will be saved in going there, instead of to Boston,
So that if the people of Boston and other towns in
terested in getting business from Western Vermont,
see fit to let that "Dog in the (Fitchburg) manger'
keep their friends at bay, they must readily see that
they will have no reason to find fault should they
lose the opportunity of securing a good customer

LEGISLATIVE MATTER. The small size of this
paper will not admit of its containing all the report
ed talk in the Legislature as found in Walton's Dali
ly Journal and at the same time leave room for a va
riety of other matter, unless a portion is delayed
Such parts, therefore, are selected as we judge will
most interest the readers of the Voice. Quite an an
mated discussion was had on a resolution presented
to the Senate by Mr.. Villas, and by a Democratic
member of the House, proposing to render thanks to
God for the recent victory at Monterey. We have
no knowledge that the resolution has as yet been a.
dopted, and it is to be hoped that the Representa-
tives of Vermont will not disgrace themselves by do
ing it.
Many interesting remarks in regard to other ques-
tons presented would be given, had we room, but
since we have not, they must be omitted.

The bill remodeling the Judiciary system
of the State was taken up, and the amend
ments proposed by the committee were adopt
ed.
Messrs. Harrington and Kimball opposed
the bill, because they were inclined to think
that the present judges, with a suitable ar
ranpement of the sessions of the Court, might
accomplish all the necessary business, and that
a further reduction of the bench to its present
number, would, on account of personal and
other considerations, be exceedingly difficult
to effect.
Messrs. Villas, Burton, Smith and Foster
supported the bill at some length, upon the
grounds that it had been conclusively demon
strated before the committee not only by some
of the present Judges, but also by Ex-Judges
who had no interest in the matter, that the
present bench required a temporary rein
forcement in order to accomplish the great
press of business which had accumulated in
the larger counties of the State, and that the
interest of lawyers should yield to the rights
of suitors by exempting the latter from the
expense and delay incident to the existing
state of things the bill was passed.
Adjourned.

THE SEASON.

Every season is regarded as having some-

The season. or the weather, which is the
same thing, is the perpetual subject of con-
versa,ion. The weather is remarkably
warm, or remarkably cold-remarkably wet,
or remarkably dry-rcmar kably stormy, or
remarkably fair, &C., &c. But, as these
epl,hets are, obviously, not applicable, in
their extreme, 10 The present winter, we are
obliged TO characterize it as remarkablyuni-
form and pleasant. We had fall Of four
teen inches Of snow on the first day of De-

period Of twelve weeks, has been unintcr.

to say, is very remarkable - who ever saw

continuance, is, undoubtedly, a rare occur.

81 per cent. adva!orem, and 3 cents per
pound specific. making an average pro-
lection of forty per cent. This was de-.
nounced as sacrifice of the wool-grower to
the cnpidity Of the manufacturer, and Mr..

find no difficulty in settling down upon the
conclusion that 20 per cent protection to

question, and therefore requires no argu-
ment. Still it is a very appropriate subiec,
