for the intended removal Of Gov. Douglass

State House,.

Mr.. ED1ToR -Inyour last, either through
my own or your mistake, there was an omis-
sion in my communication which | was not
aware of until read the article in print.
In saying that Montpelier admitted in
her six column article of special pleading
in late number of your paper, ''that Bur-
lington offered to build State House, free
from expense TO the State, as good as the
one consumed by fire" l should have added
that she also admitted at the same time,
that on the same day, Feb. %, 1850 "Mr.
Merrill, then member of the House from
Montpelier" said, "that he was authorized
by the committee. of the citizens of Mont
pelier, to say to the House, distinctly and
emphaticaHy, that Montpelier noa0 makes
an offer in every respect equal to that Of
Burlington"
The State accepted Montpelier's Offer
and located the House there. Does thi:
not put the matter beyond controversy a:
+ to the amount Montpelier agreed to pay
boEd or no bond? The House consumed
by fire, l believe, did not cost less thai
sl25,000, some say more; the figures vii
show.
have been particular in showing fact
in this matter for the reason that it wa
said on the floor of the House at the lat

For the Bellows Falls Times
WHAT'S IN A NAME.

o, what's in name is query that's old,
Yet Uhat'S IN name, is fell better than told.
Even Shakespeare himself could scarcely tell what
And what he did tell have almost forgot,
But that there is something that's real know
For even the thought of makes my heart glow.
But it is not to tell you Of tiis one, or that
ask you to list to my querulous chat,
1t is only myself, or, rather my name
For which your indulgence most humby claim.
Not that my name is odd, homely, or strange,
But simply because it has met with change.
There Is nothing uncommon in that you will say,
know-but the change is a change the wrong way.
Somebody, the print or printer, or me-
Has inserted an L. where there should have been P
Like the belt of Orion, they've girdled my name
With an L ten which have a deed of or claim,
And Amanda L. Walker now comes from the press
With Amanda P.s poems tackled on to her dress.
find it in papers, in letters and books,
And am puzzled to know my own name by the looks
Like the poor little market-girl lost in the snow,
If it's me, or if not, should just like to know!
They called me oddly always school,
But do not remember of being called fool
STILL some think foolish, although they don't say
To be changing my name in that curious way,
To thrust out the middle that looked well enough,
Without cause for the same is unseemly and rough.
Dear friends, I've not done so, it's all mistake.
Which haste to correct for my own and your sake
But changes in names do of happen know,
And mine may perchance, yet a change undergo
But, should such thing happen, you all may depend
1t will not be the middle but simply the end!
