Friend B,RRrrr, you are too fast At
the time your article was published, no Ii
quor had been destroyed In Rutland, al
though some eight barrels were seized
Some men had been imprisoned for dis
turbing the peace, but, mind you, no wo-
men. Women Heaven forbid Why, sir,
the ladies of Rutland do not feel flattered
by your notice. They deserve far better
than you give them credit for, having ner-
er, a. we can learn, disturbed the "public
peace" whatever may have been their in
reference in the domestic tranquility"
You are respectfully requested to amend
o. We would call especial attention
to the Commercial and Financial article,
reported by Messrs. BARRErT & Son, on
the third page of this paper. 1t contains
a vast amount of information not otherwise
conveniently attainable by majority Of
our readers and, MS it relates to matters
of local interest, cannot fail to be of value
TO the citizens Of the County.
We may remark that tins department of
the Herald is beginning to be appreciated
and if 1t is kept up with the same degree
of energy and talent which have hitherto
marked it, it will eventually be more gen
orally sought after than any other matter
Of the paper.
o. In accordance with the request of
many old subscribers, VIZ have concluded
TO extend the time for advance payments
to April 2d--the utmost limits of our dis
position to accommodate. We make this
extension in the expectation that those re-
qucsting 1t will avail themselves of its adj
vantages, or forever after hold their peace.
o. We feel under particular obhga-
tons to Ira GoRnaM, Esq, of West Rut-
land, for the getting up of clnb of IL new
subscribers. He informs us that less than
one half a day's time was required to do
the business, and that many more may be
obtained there by proper exertion. Who
willtakc interest enough in the matter to
give us another lift in that neighborhood !?
