A New Map Of the State Of Ver-
mont.

The great imperfection OF former maps
of the State, arising in part from inherent
defects, and partly from the great length
of time since any large map of the State
has been puplished-the numerous chang.
es in town and county lines-the general
prosperity of the State render new and
reliable map of the State indispensable to
meet the demands of the puplic
From an original draft which we were
shown few days since by Fl. F. WALL
ING, ESQ, of New York, it appears that
there is soon to be published "a Hand-
ard Map nj Vermont," which cannot
fail to meet the wishes of the most fastidi-
GUS.
1t is to bS about FIVE feet square, well
mounted on rollers, and furnished to SUBJ
scribers, at five dollars per copy.
The best artists of the country are en-
ployed to DO the engraving, and Mr..
WALLINa's reputation as a map manufac-
turer, is sufficient guarantee, that the
style and finish will be equal to any State
map ever published. Upon it are to be
exhibited, all the roads, towns and county
lines streams, manufactures, dwellings
Except in condensed vilages,) together
with plans of the principle villages sub
scribers' names, with figures annexed re-
ferring to their residences, and much sta
tistical information, with margins, thus
furnishing reliable map, worthy of
place in any dwelling, Office, or school
room in the State W. Standard.
We are Informed that Professor Hitch
cock is preparing Geological Map
which will be beautifully colored, and ap-
pended to the above, showing the position,
extent. and relation Of the different rock
formatons,the position of the quarries ore
beds, &C., and by explanations, in the
margin it will be rendered perfectly intel
ligible and interesting to all, though un-
acquainted with the sciences 1t will be

they will meet with the success SO great.

TnE CENTURY is new newspaper pub
lished in New York, devoted to Politics,
Commerce, Finance, Economy, Literature,
Science and Art. 1t consists of eight i'm

of its class in the United States. 1t is
independent in politics, as in every thing
else, but from the tone of it thus far, we
judge that the right has nothing to fear
from The CENTURY. The collation. and sys-

DIED, in Bridport. ID &c. 18th aged %
years. Mrs EMMA ELlzABErn FLETCHER
wife of +. Perry Fletcher, and daughter
Of Dea. Ira Clifford, Of Middlebury The
deceased has been so we'll known in this
vicinity, in childhood and early youth
in New Haven. subsequently as a member
Of the family of the late Hon. James
Meacham of Niddlebury. and for the last
two years at her own home, that no min
ute account Of he's life is here necessary.
Yet the sympathy with bereaved friends,
so generously expressed by the crowded
attendance at the funeral services, may
properly be repeated in still more public
manner, since all unite in the regret ut
tered often in places too distant to be
known to her immediate acquaintance,
that no more that noble form and beaming
countenance are to appear before us, once
accustomed to carry joy into every circle
favored with her presence. A most ami
able disposition, and the utmost politeness
of manner made her with all, whether
those wearied and disguised with the an
cry discussions of political debate, or
those in the quiet discharge Of domestic
duty-a much loved companion AMI friend.
But her own household was higher praise
than this those who have seen her there,
will be most deeply impressed with the
graces of her womanly character, and the
loss of him, who is now left to desolated
home. 1t is perhaps most creditable of
all, that hours of extreme feebeness and
distress should exhibit, in most clear and
attractive colors, the gentleness of the
heart. On this point VIC have the 'esti-
mony of one, who often called to the sick
room, that it is hardly possible that
sweeter recollections should cluster around
any dying bed, than those connected with
hers, as she fingered for days and weeks
awaiting the time of her departure, The
ravages of malignant disease, accom-
panied with burning fever, could not for
a moment Danish the kindly tones of the
sufferer, nor change the polite AMI gentle
forms of request to those of Impotence
and complaint.
But the friends of Mrs. Fletcher, will
recur to none of these things with SO
great satisfaction, as to the fact, that she
met death with calmness, renowned the
most Aattering prospects, and the most
fortunate realities of life with perfect &C.
quiesccnce, and in humble reliance upon a
Redeemer, passed composedly and with
strong hope into the valley Of death. We
may not follow the dearest friend beyond
the boundaries Of this world, except by
tho aid oF him who said q He that he.
lieveth in me shall never die" but we
have the consolation of knowing, that
while among us, she pondered seriously
the question Of the SOULS salvation, that
she had hoped for several months. that
her sins were pardoned, and had, during
the last year Of her life, exhibited much
of christion devotion we know too, thai
when her hope came to the final, awfu
test, it seemed hope that maketh moi

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 20, 1858.
Foref'athers' Day.
M 1 d d L, E B u RY:


We have again passed this always
pleasant and we hope profitable anniver-
sary, and its memory will be grateful for
many a day. The true descendant of the
Pilgrims can hardly do less than piously
observe this occasion and find himself with
each succeeding wave of time in more
close, reverent and ilial sympathy with
his Pilgrim ancestry. Each succeeding
year opens new light upon their time, and
enables us the better to see and appreciate
the lofty principles and motives by which
they were governed. Faithful history is
busy, even yet, in wiping out the asper.
sions by which their enemies of their own
aud succeeding time have sought to fasten
perpetual stigma upon them, and every
brush adds lustre to their record. We
know comparatively little of the time in
which we live; we move in a medium
which has in it more of falsehood thnn
truth, and those who shall succeed us will
know more of this present than we do
and thus we are now becoming familiar
with the times and the men of the seven.
teenth century.
The address of DR.. Lord, on this occa.
sion, gave view Of tho disenthrallment of
mind by the Lutheran reformation, and
made a complete exhibition of the spiritual
disenthrallment of the succeeding century.
A more just, or more complete vindication
of the Puritans and Puritanism wo have
never heard. 1t was admirably calculated
to encourage the veneration and pride of
those who glery in a Pilgrim ancestry.
The address in every part was in the high
est style of oratory. The peroration, par.
ticularly, was grand beyond description.

tantion from the beginning to the close

finely executed pieces of music, by the

conceived and executed by Prof Bott
The remaining festivities we're conducted
by J. W. Stewart, Esq. in a style highly
promotive of the genialities of the occa.
sion. Numerous toasts were presented, land
responded to in very happy manner by
the orator Of the evening, Rev. B. NJ. Hall,
L. E Cbittenden Esq, F. W. Woodbridge,
ESQ, J. W. Stewart, Esq, and S. B.
Rockwell. Vocal and instrumental music
was appropriately interspersed and the
whole continued to as late an hour as was
consistent with strict propriety, when the
company were courteously conveyed to
their several homes in the large sleigh of
mine host.

SALE OF CoNFisTlcArED TELESCOPE
About two years ago, Lewis Harper was the
Geologist for Mississippi, and by the corpo-
rate law, was Professor of Geology in the
State University. He wanted to purchase a
Telescope for his private use, and sent to Ger
many and bought one, for which he paid there
the sum of $1,000. In order to dodge the
duties levied upon the instrumentby the Rev.
enue Laws of the United States, Harper re-
presented to the Custom House officers that
it was for the beneli of the State University
according to those laws all imported ar,
ticles of that character for the use of Uni
versilies being exempt from duty, BY this
representation he evaded paying that require,
ment, which amount was $500, or therea'
bouts. The Telescope came safely through
to Harper.
But it had not been here long before the
Custom House officers at New York got wind
that the Telescope had been smugsled through
their house, and Marshal Tisom was directed
to seize it. The Federal Court at Pontotoc
desided against Harper, and the instrument
was declared confsticated. 1t was put up
at the Court House on last Monday and
knocked off to ]. NJ Howry for the sum Of
S50o-which is scarcely half its value. Il
is represented as dn excellent instrument and
