GREEN MOUNTAIN FREEMAN. MONT p

passed OIL very handsomely, and satisfactorily t
all concerned except that excellent purveyol
Mr. Wright, who probably was hardly compen
stated tor the expense of erecting his mammotI
pavilion, covering three-fourths of an acre o
ground, in which the company taking dinner ia
bout a thousand, probably looked like a neigh
Oorhood tea party In cornfeld. He made 4
mistake In putting his tickets too high for the
Vermont meridian and the consequence was
that though immense numbers of people were in
town, they generally would not 60 in.
The exercises, however, within the Pavilion
were of high order. The speeches of Messrs
Quincy, Philips, the Freesoil candidate for Gov
ernor OF Mass, HadIey, late speaker of N. Y.
Legislature, Crocker, the great Rail Road man,
and Col Schouler, of the Atlas, who spoke for
the corps editorial, were, among numerous 9th.
er good ones, particularly excellent.
The taste, pth and appropriateness of the
cold water toasts, mainly got up by Mr.. Clarke
of the Free Press the toastlnaster, and Mr..
SAKE, of the Sentinel, we presume,-did credit
alike to The occasion and their authors
In all the speeches Of the day land they were
made mostly by some of the most sagacious fl
nancers and Rail Road men of the times,) there
was one opinion expressed, in which there yas
a perfect and remarkable unanimity and that
was, that the stock of both the Rutland and
Central Rail Roads, would be at par or above
within at least four years from this time.
DEATHS OF NoTED MEN.-The obituary list
Of the City of New York, last week, contained
the names of two of the oldest and most noted
men, who, in their spheres, have figured in that
place for the last half century--one, Matthew l.
Davis, the friend and biographer of Aaron Burr,
and the well known political letter writer from
Washington, and the other,the City high Consta-
BILE and great rogue catcher, old Jacob Hays
who, having been the terror Of evil doors for
the last fifty years, died at the age of79.
Both were men of no ordinary capacities, but
we should be inclined to accord the most extra
ordinary gifts to Hays the Fouche of America
for we doubt whether any man living in his day
equalled him in ready perception of character,
or in fertility in resource, in cases of emergen-
cy, where the hidden motives of men, were to
be fathomed, and their action met and thwarted
BRIsToL BIL1.--This desperate and accom-
plshed villain, who stabbed States Atty. DAVIS
now recoverng) has been landed in Windsor
State Prison, where he went quietly to work ia
the scythe snath department. The court decd
ed that he could not be indicted on his last Of
Tense till the expiration of his ten years npris-
onment had expired. So nothing was done a.
bout his assault on Davis, who may yet fall
victim to the desperate or his accomplces still
at arge for when he parted with the sheriff, at
Windsor, he significantly said, "teN my friend
Davis he may as lCeH sci his house in order, as he
will be very likely to receive visit when he is
least expecting it,"
Bristol Bill, or Warburton, his true name, is
an Engishman, and a man of education. He
conducted his own defence, mainly, not daring,
he said, to trust any lawyer he could find with
the sole management of it. Perhaps no man
can be found more perfectly schooled in the
ways of vllainy, in all the United States.
CHoLERA.--Forty-two deaths by cholera in
st. Louis in the week ending June Is.
ROBBERY AT BURLINaToN,-The Express a
gent, Mr.. ii. G. Goodno, was robbed, nthe day
of the Jubilee, of large package of Bank Bills,
which was taken from his outside pocket A
man by the name of Hamilton, supposed
bldckleg who was near, was arrested, and has
since been examined and bound over for trial
under $4,000 bonds, but the money has not been
recovered.
