the sisterhoOd of States are present at the
feast. To-day a thousand trains are freight

night a million hearts are watching for the
sound of the wheels which bring the loved
ones. Here they come, The doors ayopen
over m my a thousand thresholds a myriad
Of eager arms are outstretched, to close in
soft embraces, and a running fire Of greeting
voices and a wide hailstorm of kisses, could

How many happy circles will be gathered
tomorrow How many churches will re-
sound with anthems of praise How many

above our deserts, why should We not, as a
People, be grateful to the Great Giver of all.
And surely, enjoying as We do all these bles-
sings as fully as the most favored, and with
fewer drawbacks than any other State, we of
Vermont should be doubly thankful. Let

our worthy Governor, " with devout and
prayerful hearts offer unfeigned Praise to

Editors Of the Free Press:

Editors Of the Free Press;
Last evening the House
for the first time this year, held an evening ses-
sion. Much business was disposed of, but I do
not now recall any of l. that was f much general
Importance. A bill came up to provide for COM
mon schools, in districts which for a year refuse to
make any provision for them, and Mr.. Grandey
took NJ half an hour in passing a running COM
m%entary upon its language, expressing his ap-
prevail Of the several clauses, but by tone and
gesture attempting to cast ridicule upon the
whole. The House seemed to be impatient at the
delay, though often laughing at the attempts to be
witty; and manifested its appreciation of the ar
guments by ordering the third reading Of the bill,
bya large majority.
The Senate has passed the bill to pay salaries to
judges 0 fprobate, without any essential amend
ments, if understood it correctly.
This morning the House refused to pass the res
]olution to authorize the Treasurer to sue the bond
given by Messrs. ColIamer, Jewett and Hubbard,
for money to build the State House, by a majority
Of oac And getting its hand in at rejecting
measures proposed, it proceeded to refuse the pas
sage Of the st. George & Shelburne town line bill;
and also the bill to publish the report Of the geo
logical survey. At the last stage however, when
this bill had beer passed, and recon ilered by a
considerable majority, a motion prevailed to sub
%stitute, after the enacting clause, a provision re-
quirius the Secretary Of state, after the whole re-
port is prepared, and the number of engravings
needed ascertained, to obtain bids for publishing
1000 copies, and also for 1000 additional, and to
report to the next session Of the Legislature
With this amendment the bill was sent back 20 the
Senate.

This condition Of things IS one Of the PERM
cious consequences Of the peculiar. and as We
have often called it, dishonest act for rebuild
ing the State House.
From the beginning we have dsaourrea the
plan of thus rolling up a State debt. to be
a curse to the State hereafter, and we de-
nounce it again. If an extraordinary expense
is incurred one year, which calls for borrow
ing more than the tax Of the year can meet
it may beall right to spread the outlay over
several years, to a reasonable crfent, but that
does not justify, and il our view, nothing in
the facts Of the present case i%ustities, the
omission to provide, surely, for payment of
the debt from year to gear in fair proportion.
A State debt is alien to the policy and in
terests of VERMONT; and We warn all who,
from carelessness or timidity, or for selfish
reasons of their own.-if there are any such
shirk off their W duties as legislators on to
the shoulders Of those who are to come after
them, that a day of sharp reckoning will
certainly come bef0rc long.

EXTRAORDINARY SroRY.-The following
strange story appears in the Union du Var
Sir Edward EgertOn, nephew Of Sir Rober,
Peel. has Just left Nice for Grasse. This
young man has been occupied for several
years in procuring the information necessary
to discover a will made by one Of his uncles,
leaving him a fortune estimated at thir;7-tw0
millions-part of the fortune consisting Of
thirty houses at London. and an entire street
in Edinburgh. This will. after the death IF
the t~estator. could not be found and all at
tempts to discover it were f%ruitless. In Au-
gust last, the Rev. Mr.. Himmel, a Catholic
Priest at Dublin, received in confession a
declaration to the following efect:-The
Opulent t~estat0r. some time ago sailed for
Italy in the Allie de Grasse, a steamer which
sunk near the Hes d'Hyeres. All his effects
and papers were lost, bat he himself was
saved; he was however, afflicted with rheu-
matism. and having had to stop at Nice, died
there.
Just before his death he made his secretary
write to his nephew to beg him 70 come in all
haste: but the secretary. suppOsing that be
would make a new will in favor ofthe latter,
and having a spite against him. did not send
the letter. When he made this confession
the ex-secretary was on his death-bed, and he
prayed the priest to d. what he could To re-
pair his wrong. Sir E. Eserton is now
about to endeavor to obtain at La erase and
Cannes, information as to the precise spot in
which the vessel sunk hoping that the
trunks of his deceased uncle may still be
intact. and that in one of them he can find
the will. A company is being organized a.
London to assist him in getting up the YES
sci. He has consented 10 advance 500 900
in English money towards the expenses. and
to give 5000. 900 franks out of his inherit
ance If the will be found at the bottom Of the
ocean. Iu the lost vessel were large sums Of
money and other articles of value belonging
to other persons; and the question has arisen
whether the English company may not retain
all the wealth it may fish up.
