Notes and Comments.


The KING FsHER.-Mr. Aurora Mallory, of
East Montpelier, has, the past season, during his
weekly piscatorial visits to Peacham Pond, at
the head waters Of Union River caught over
half a ton Of trout, and brought them in good or
der to our village market. Mr. NJ. is a true
sportsman in feeling as well as an adept in skill,
relying on his single hook and line, and utterly
disdaining the mean advantage Of nets and
spears in ensnarng this beautiful fish, In honor,
therefore, of the great skill and spirit aforesaid,
we do hereby suggest, name and denominate
him The Montpelier King Fisher.
A NKw CONVENTION Boston cultiva
tor and its correspondents propose that a conven-
ton be held at Quincy market on the 18th of
November by the breeders of domestic fowls in
Massachusetts,, each bringing specimens of the
rare and good breeds he may possess. What
with the Growing of the ROSTERS, the cackling of
the hcna and the speeches of their owners, they
must have splendid time of it Solomon said
there was nothing new under the sun; but he
did not anticipate there would be such place as
the city of notions. We shall look with some
anxiety for the platform which may here be es-
tablshed.
FLYING MACHNEs.-A Capt. Taggar, of
Charlestown, Mass, it is said, has completed a
flying machine, Of which he is about to make
trial. Another man in Baltimore, VIC believe,
has one ia progress, and yet another in New Or
leans. The latter has sent to Lady Franklin
proposition that if she will furnish funds for the
completion of his machine, he will 60 in it and
look up her lost husband, So many flying rue
mors would seem to Indicate that great events
are shortly to be on the ,Ving.
Mrs. SIeoURNEY recently obtained al Fair in
Hartford the premium for the best pair Of silk
stockings manufactured by her own hands. Here
is an example calculated to effect more good
among the many falsely educated girls of New
England than volumes Of advice
f.. FATHER MATHEW, having visited Rhode
Island and Connecticut, and administered the
pledge to tens of thousands, has now gone tC
Maine. While on his way from Connecticut &c
Boston, he was attacked by partial paralysis il
one side and tongue 80 as to compel him to sus
pend his lsbSrs for several days. This is pro
baby the first warning of a disease which is Il
result from an over wrought system, and we fea
cut short his giant abors in the noble cause il
which he il engaged,
THANKsGTvING.--The Governors Of Maine
Massachusetts,, Maryland, and some other State
have appointed the 18th OF November for Thanks

We hope Governor Coolidge will favor the effor
.is now making to sender the day uniform by ap
ii, pointing the 10th.
EARTHQUAKE IN MAssAcHUsETTs.-As sever
shock Of an earthquake has been felt in LexinG
ton Acton, Concord and other towns est {
4. Boston, accompanied by sounds Of loud explC
sions, and causing the buildings to tremble SO
to alarm the people in many places.
PEMaERToS, the Vergennes felOu, has bee
rearrested, while making his essape On bOaid

again. -.,.s5
