the same article attempts to pull IN pie
ces that very act Of a . permanent loca-
ton, and once more asks for migra-
tory movable Legislature Be con-
sistent, dear cotemporary. We know
Burlington is aspiring, and that she Is
ambitious, but she ought not TO let ambi-
ton get the start of those " generous
and honest impulses, else like poor VOL
sew she finds that "'vaultiDg ambition
hath o'erleapt itself" and she finds her
college placed upon trucks some fine
morning and trundled up to Montpelier,
or to some other " dreadful place"
We wish TO say in this eonnexion, that
we abominate that iazzaroni system our
State has got into Of asking towns which
have the public buildings to furnish the
funds for their erection. Il is most
contemplate e1pedient TO extort money
from the people. and should never be re-
sorted to except b. those who get their
living by making shrewd bargains, or by
petty pilfering. To see State come
down from its high position and ask atew
people TO build them house, in short, to
qise them so much money, looks too much
like putting itself in the place of an able
bodied pauper who asks his town to sup
port him, when he has abundant means
within his strong arms TO earn q luXuTi-
Gus living. And what We say Of State
begging, is equally applicable to counties
who ask TIE county seat to furnish the
public buildings, else they will remove
them to some other point. That bold
English robber, Dick Turpin, who met
the landlord on the highway and said to
him, Your money or your life" is but a
bad precedent for a sovereign State or q
county 10 follow. And whether the
State House shall be at Montpelier, Bur
/ ling;on, Bellows Falls, or at whatever
/ place, we hope the State viii be magnan-
linous enough to furnish the funds for it,
and no. compel any town to give them a
house through the contemplate threat Of
IA removal to some other point, if they do
no; DO so.

The Recent Murders.

Doubtless any period Of two weeks in /
history is important and interesting. and
some even; Of considerable Importance
occurs; but even in the face CT usual in
terest, the present is a remarkable time.
First in interest IS the Bond street muir
der in New York City. There, in one
of the fashionable streets Of the city, in
a house among the first for beauty and
furniture, man Of wealth is murdered
in his own Office.
On the night Of January 30lh, Dr..
Harvey Burdell, dentist, returned to the
house where he lodged and praeticed his
profession. In the morning he was found
murdered in his room, with all the doors
in their usual position and locked. He
had fifteen wounds upon his body, six of
which were individually mortal. He
laid on his face, with his tongue prolru-
ding from lis mouth, and altogether hay-
ing the appearance Of being garroted as
well as stabbed. No clue has yet been
detained Of the Inurderers. HRS. Cur
ningham, who occupied a part Of the
house, and Mr.. Eckel, boarder, are
strongly suspected. The eoroner's IN
quest has been in session for twelve DAYS
and multitude Of testimony taken, &C.
eupying more than 100 columns in the
daily papers Of the city, and yet scarcely
any light has been thrown on the korr;d
transaction. Sufficient however is elicit
ed to justify holding Mrs. Cunningham
and AIr. Eckel for examination, and they
have been committed 10 the toubs. Yet
all agree that they have not obtained
T light enough to begin to convict them Of
murder. The murdered man. though
/, rich, bore bad character, and was de-
sPised even by his nearest relatives
( The accused do not seem to be free from
similar imputations.
In The meantime the body Of Hosea
j. Gardner, the late postmaster at Hing,
ham, Mass, has been exhumed. the con.
tents Of his stomach examined. arsenic
found in ii, and circumstances trace the
murder directly to the widow as his muir.
deTer. After an examination before :
eoro2er's jury, IN which she manifested
the most stolid indifference, the iurv
came TO the conclusion that the deceased
came to his death by poison administered
by his wife.
Surely, II becomes Us 10 beware Of the
women If there be a general conspiracy
among them to Kill Us CT, as these IN,
murders would seem to indicate.

ted States, from the Landing Of the
Pilgrim Fathers to tie repeal Of the
Hissouri Compron,iss. By A. w.

This is a volume Of 10I6 pages, well

what is better It is what il purports to be.
It is well calculated to difuse abroad 4

the few. 1t presents both sides of many
Of the great subjects that have agitated
the country, enabling the reader TO see
and judge for himself. It brings promi-
.nently before US the great men of the
present and the past age, Webster, Clay
Jackson. Calhoun and others, and discuss
es ably the great American questions.
The author has accomplished difcul
task with laborious care and conscienciou:
fidelity, and We recommend It to the PEG
pie Of Orleans county as q book coming
fully up TO its pretensions.
AIr. c. W. Toothaeher is the sole
agent for the book in Orleans and Gale
douia counties, and 1t Is sold only u
agents. Price IS 30.
