Montpelier Cut-throatism.

W. i,o,n that our Representatives had their
,h.o.,. So badly cut at the late session, that
,novement was made for changing the scat of
C;overnment. IL the report IS true. meaner and
interruptions chseling IN board bills was per

Montpelier p Burlington Courier.
We assure our well beloved and very reverend
brother of the burlington Courier, that II any
body cut any body's throat al the late session.
the people Of Montpelier are quite ready to have
the guilty hanged--always providing that an
honest jury shall not render verdict Of" sarvcd
'em right" But whose throats were cut? The
wing candidates for state and legislative Offices
suffered msrivrdom. and. five not mistaken,
the representative from Burlington, snd the SEN
Courier's aid. bv the wav.) were guilty Of their
blood and Ned Barber had his throat cut
but we are ofihe impression that even the Cour-
x1or mar consented to that act. But doubtless
<hAsh arc not the offences alluded 70 by the
Courier-perhaps because they do not pariicu-
larry implicate Montpelier. We beg to inquire
ags;n. then whose throat was cut? We know
Of one gentleman who feared and trembled in
Nv Of his tavern bill before he got il, and in
the fear solely Of that bill. he pushed through
the resolution looking to a removal Of the State
house: but we have vet to learn th.t even his
bill was unsatisfactory when it came. The truth
is. that the agitation of the state-house business
WINS mainly intended land exclusively, excepting
those particularly interested, in Burlington for
the purpose OF operating on the tavern bills and
we have only to saw. that if any tavern keeper
was inclined to charge too much, we hope he
wasf brought to reasonable terms. While we
did hear Of complaint from not exceeding three
individuals, all boarding at one hotel. il is but
Just 10 saw that other gentlemen at the same
house were perfectly satisfied in all particulars
Complaints Of this kind always will happen,
whether the state house is in one place or anoth-
err. and a removal will not remedy them A
real remedy is within the possession Of every
man. he can find board at any price he chooses,
and bind the price bv a contract beforehand
No trouble ever occurred, except when these
precautions were not taken. Small ss is the
village of Montpelier, in the estimation ofthe
Burlington Courier. there are cheap boarding
house. enough for oil who want them and rs
to hote-room, there is more Of it, and better,
than all Burlington can fnrnish,-and according
to our experience it is furnished at quite reas
enable rates. Six establishments in Montpelier,
all within three minutes walk Of the state house,
have ample room for every member and officer
of the Legislature, and if any body wants cheap
er accommodations they arc to be had.

Norwich UniversitY.

Il will be gratifying 20 all the real friends Of
this Institution to learn that the Legislature have
loft it where all literary institutions should be
left in the hands Of the Trustees, who are sup.
posed to be the most competent judges Of its in
ierests Had the late attempt to induce the leg
islature TO override the nearly unanimous decis-
ion of its managers been successful, we are fully
that II would have been fatal to it, and
would have portendod nothing but evil to many
of the other literary institutions in the State.
The trustees, we understand will prosecute
with energy the erection the necessary build
ings in Montpelier, for the accommodation Of the
Faculty and Students, so that by another fall we
may welcome them IN our midst. They have
purchased very ample grounds for the present,
and prospective growth Of the Institution. We
trust the appeal to the public for the aid to effect
So desirable an object will find liberal response.
We want, in this state Just such m Institution
as this is destined to be-one which shall not be
controlled by narrow sectarian veNs--and where
the student may obtain a thorough, practical ed
ucatiun.
ave believe there are many important lea-
lures in the peculiar system Of the University,
which 60 far 10 recommend 1t To the general IA
vor Of intelligent and rejecting men, as remark
ably fitted to secure the benefits Of discipline
aud order, Of personal vgor and health. and Of a
high sense Of honorable propriety, IN the stu
dents of the institution. These peculnrtles de-
serve, ofthemsclves, larger sphere and a bet
ter opportunity Of full developments especially
as experience has so fully shown the necessity
Of some Improvement in health and discipline,
beyond The average attainment In o'her collegi-
&C establishments. Il cannot be denied that
hitherto, the prevailing effort has been too much
confined to the intellectual forgetting that the
physical energies and daily habits Of our youth
form an indispensable element in the future sue
cess OF life, and should therefore be carefully
provided for, during the whole period of their
