MO>TPELIrR. Nov. |,

Of uncommon shortncss. (somc talked of get
ting through in a lortnight) must be pretty
well cleared out 10y this time. Everything
now indicates one OF five full wceks-pcrhaps

accompanied with the longest legislative
session. eight weeks, which the history of
Vermont records.

dcliveruncc OF it from the House with little
or no contention But that vote was recon-

too surely beneficial in its operation, to Jus

of the subject and promises to lead to the

it will pass the House without severe oppo-
sition. No scheme can Ice presented which
will not hud directors, some because it will
do too little, others because it will do too
much. and not few because it will cost
something, as every useful thing always docs,
