Lyon and Of A. ID. hagar, Assistant State
Goologist. on the Marbles of Vermont, de-
liyercd, last evening, before large audience,
in the Representatives Hall
On presenting the resolution, Mr.. Linsley
said he had been instructed and charmed with
these memoirs. The memoir of Matthew
Lyon was replcte with interesting and recon
ditc information, showing great research and
careful study. It would be regarded every
where as a valuable contribution to the early
history of the State Mr.. Hagar exhibited a
fine collection of our most valuable marbles.
His address contained much valuable statis-
teal information in relation TO this great in
dustra interest. with many practical obser-
vations on its growth and progress. He
hoped the resolution would be adopted
Mr. Bridgman of Rockingham opposed the
resolution. on the ground that the addresses
should be published by the Historical Socie-
tv. and not by the State lie admitted the
addresses to be deserving of publication. but
thought the Historical Society should perform
the work
JUDGE tlebard of Chelsea advocated the
adontion of the resolution. but upon different
rronnds from that of his friend from Rutland
Mr.. Iinslev had said he favored the printing
because he had been instructed by hcoring tn,
addresses Judge Hebard desired it becaus,
he was SO unfortunate as net to have had that
pleasure. He Thought too little patronage OF
such valuable investigations had been mad,
bv the State. and hoped the resolution woulc
be adontcd.
Mr.. Nccdbam of Hartford also advocated
the resolution. The State of Vermont. b,
