THE BIGGEST THtNG --Searsburg
bears off the palm for big Jokes as the follow
ing will show Some time since two young
men, residents of Searsburg, left that town
for California, leaving behind them Their
wives. Many sobs were ehoked down, and
farewells exchanged, and the fortune seekers
turned their course toward the land of Gold,
hopeful, in bright antioipatons of prodigious
fortunes to cheer the hearts Of their disconso-
late wives. They arrived at their destination
in safety, toiling long and hard, and fiually
set out for h1me. On reaching their Green
Mountain neig hborhood once more their first
inquiry very naturally was for their "better-
halves" Astounded in good truth were
they when they we're told they were mi
nus those indispensibles To sum all up,
their wives had took to themselves other hus-
bands, trusting in the mediumship of spiritu-
alism. II turns out that, having heard moth
ing of them after they sailed, the poor women
consulted medium" and were shocked in
! being told that their husbands we're both dead,
the very locality where they had taken their
last sleep being described and pointed out to
them. This was too much They mourned
awhile but finally came to the conclusion il
was mot good for women to be alone and
so placed themselves in the market matrimo-
Mai, and were soon taken up. How the mat
ter was settled must be given in another chap
ter banner.

THE SOLDIERS AND THEIR WANTS.
We copy the following from letter Of Capt.
Randall. Of Co. f. I'd VT. Regiment to the
Green Mountaia Freeman. 1t is valuable
testimony:
p. S. notice that the Legislature are taxi
ing measures to have an agent appointed TO
transmit money for the soldiers to the friends
at home. am glad to see this If such an
agent is provided for it will result in the sol
dicrs. who have families dependent on them,
sending much more money home than they
otherwise would. That agent should be on
the ground at the time we are paid of This
ray | notice has a strong tendency to make
good feeling ~ camn, and there is time
when men viii think and feel kindly OF those
at home and having the money and the agent
being present, they will start the money that
ifthey have the trouble Of mailing and feeling
the risk Of loss, thcy will neglect and the same
is spent for what is Of no particular use.
You and our people At home may be sur
piised 10 know that there are sharks in the
shape Of gamblers following our camps, but
it is nevertheless true, and know Of men
that have gambled away every dollar Of the
two months pay within five hours after getting
it Some perhaps would have sent it home
had an agent been there to have done il, and
perhaps have limited to such that they had
better send it home. Officers know who their
men are that ought to send money home, and
can suggest to the agent and thus cooperate.
This cash sent home must prove private and
public benefit, as the individual receiving il
gets the immediate good. and 40 large an
amount of money sent into the State once in
two months and extracting nu immediate
equivalent. must be felt as public benefit
l should think 1t will be remembered that
my son Charley went home Immediately after
the last pay day. lie carried home for those
here, to their friends, one thousand and forty
dollars, and a. ! would have allowed it, the
sum might have been Ave thousand My tent
was besieged With those DESTROYS to send,
for twelve hours before he left. l did not
like TO have him carry more, fearing that some
casualty might happen, aud he only took such
as he could deliver in persun, or send to its
destination from Montpelier by some stage
driver. The boys have all heard from the
friends, and the cash went safe. Judge Pol
and who came here must have carried home

agent must be here in season, for the class to
DC most benefited spend their money mighty
quick after they get it. | have mad them

day.
Another thing and guess my postscript,
like that OF Simon Suggs will be the cream OF
my letter. notice as cold weather comes
