TRuAST LAWS. Would that we had tru-
ant law like that Of Massachusetts,, empowering
the civil authorities of towns and villages, to ar
rest and punish all boys who absent themselves
from school and spend their time in idleness
and vice, about the streets and in groceries and
billiard rooms The law works well in Massa-
ohusetts to the boys, their parents, and to socie
ty. Ifparenlal authority is neglected, the q" "a
theirs Of the town" should be empowered to look
after the truants, and save them from the county
jail, the state prison and the gallows. Recent
Developments Of juvenile depraviiy in this vii
lage, should wake up its inhabitants to an eiIec-
tual moral reform, especially among the youth
of our foreign population. Thels of thirty and
fifty dollars at a time smack loud of the necessi-
ty Of educating our children for usefulness, and
not for the penitentiary.

most of the large towns and villages in Vermont,
where the more than "war and iamner evils of

Mute Convention.

We have never witnessed, al Montpelier, nor
elsewhere, a convention organized and conduct
cd with more propre,y, unanimiiy or dccorum,
than was The convention at the Brick Church in
this Village, on Wednesday morning last, Of
some seventy or eighty deaf mutes, OF both
sexes, from different states, but principally from
Vermont They were mostly of those in the
meridian Of life, intelligent, and educated at the
Asylum for the Deaf and Dumb at Hartford,
Conn, when the loved and lamented Gallaudet
presided over that excellent institution. The OBJ
jects Of the Convention were mutual improve
mcnt, and the raising Of funds for the erection
of monument to the memory OF their much
loved teacher The proceedings were extreme
ly interesting to themselves, and quite as much
so to the inhabitants Of our village, who witness
ed the silent communication Of ideas by signs,
and partook of the spirit of devotion as prayer
was offered to Him who hears the thoughts Of
the sincere heat as readily when conveyed by
signs as when uttered by the tongue The CON
vention was organized, by the appointment of
the following officers, AMI continued iis sessions
two days and an evening:
pliny o. Burnham, Midllciown, VT, President.
Dan1 w. Phelps Middlebury, W., V. Prcs'l.
VIM b. SWEET, Nashville, n. II Secretary.
Joseph O. Sanger Westboro' Mss, Asst Sec.
J.W. Marsh, Roxbury, Mass, Treasurer.
Afervent and appropriate prayer, by signs, was
offered by the Treasurer, Mr. Marsh, when the
President, with much feeling, expressed his
gratitude fo7 the appointment, and made few
pertinent remarks, concerning the business and
objects of the convention and his readiness to
preside over their deliberations, wishing them
much and h ppy success in the undertaking. A
number Of addresses we're delivered, and some
of them interpreted by being read TO the audi
ence; to all of which, a marked attention and
general approval was given, as well by mu,cs,
as by those who could bear. We have copies,
written out, of all the addresses and shall
give themto the public in future paper. Rev.
Mr.. Lord expressed his sympathy. and TINT Of
the spectators, in note to the convention which
was communicated to the members of the Con-
vention by Mr.. Marsh IN the expressive language
of signs II was received with evident pleasure
on the part ofthc Convention. \.

Commissioner for Washington County. The
meeting on Thursday was well attended and
spirited, resulting in the nomination Of Hon.
DANIEL BALDWIN Of Montpelier as commission
er, with great unanimty. The office OF commits
sioner IS a delicate aud important one, and may
be SO discharged as to obvatc one of the objec
tons to the Liquor law-poraaps the objection
which weighed most in the small towns. We
mean the objection that towns may have agents
forced upon them against the wishes of the PEG
pie, and be subjected to losses through these A.
gents. Now tins matter will be within the discre-
tlonary power of the County Commissioner, and
he may, if he chooses, limit his appointments to
towns which shall ask for an agent, either by
vote of the town al the March meeting, or thro'
their selectmen or if the people Of any town
wish no agent appointed, we suggest that their
wishes can be expressed by vote in town meet
ing Until the law is modified in that point. as
we think it should be, the course inst suggested
may to a great exten, serve to obyiote the OBJ
lection.

Railroad Improvement James $. French has
petitioned Congress for an appropriation for the
purpose Of testing new plan Of railway and
locomotive, designed to operate railways with
high grades with light engines. This plan con-
templates a slight alteration Of the rails on the
grades, and the application of levers and friction
rollers to the locomotive so as to bite the rail Our
own expresson) between the friction rolls and
drivers of the engine when ascending grades
The plan works well in miniature, and select
committee OF the Senate has reported in favor OF
an appropriation. Senator Foot of Vernon.
made the report, and our thanks are rendered u
him for copy. The improvement, is impor.
tant lnasmuch as it will reduce immensely In,
weight Of engines and the wear OF the track
and at the same time give for profitable use
great amount Of power which is now spent il
carrying the dead weight of the engine.
