Rutland weekly herald. [volume] (Rutland, Vt.) 1859-1877, 1861-03-21

A few days hence, and Hon. Martin G. Ever,s
will receive the arpointn ent of Postm aster n
This place. the Herald mems candidate has
been round among his endorsers, with tears in
his eyes. declaring that after giving the ex-
States attorney tro hundred dollars 10 go and
plead his claims Washington, his cake is all
dough, his dollars all gone.-Ratidnd Courier.
The few days hence" above referred to have
not as yet got along and if the prediction con-
tanned in the above is no more reliable as com.
ing event that The statement Of fact is entitled 70
credit fear that The Courier will lose it's char
acter as seer as well as of truth telling 10 ir-
nal. 1t is quite possible that MIR Eyerts IN
be the nexr Postmaster of Rutland, but the latter
portion of tn COurier's statement-that the
Herald candidate has hired aid in his service is
simply base and unmirtigated falsehood.
BY the way the Courier of la week in its
prOmulg cation of its facts and its fancies reminds
one OF the old fashioned Almanac3 which told
not only of the past end the present. but gave
cheering--or aarming-as the might be-
| signs of events that were to come in she future.
Look out for storm about these days" said
the old fashioned Almanac of the days gone bye.
Look out for squalls in the Herald office" says
the Rutland Courier of TO day. g The moon is
in apogee to night at ~ O'clock" says Abell'
d" The editor in-chef ofthe Herald hides himself
behind his principal aid TO day" says the Cou
rer. d" An eclipse of the sun will take place at
6 o'clock this morning." ) VS. the Almanac man.
- We're eClIpsed already says the Courier, but
We are " bound to shine" nevertheless. And the
Courier does shine, as Jhn Randolph once said
of another like u sinking mackerel by moon
light.
The Courier, in DAYS past used to enlarge
frequently upon the multiplicity Of its editors
avocations. Postmaster, agricuturalist, editor,
horuculuri>t, -breeder of large drDves Of heep,
| cattle and tukey3 his Was ''mi'sion" to which
| that OF Caleb QuOtem was as nothing. But as
the principal business, that of Pos tmaster sud
| denly dropped out, we iud the Courier man Il #
with large amount of time" on his hands, and
especially pleased TO notice that he is dis
| posed to turn the same to COOL account. Church
and state" matters have always been a bother 10
| all honest men AMI patriots. We are glad 10
zee from the last Courier that hereafter honest
| people need give themselves no farther trouble
IN regard to the "heads and horns of this dread
| i'll. age"-as the Courier processes to ha We taken
the matter into its own hands, and says: Now
| we wish these busy meddIers and slanderers,
each and all, to understand that their insinua
lions an! inuendoes IN relation TO any one that
breaches our doctrineJ are false"
| Well we for tie present subSide under tn, S
rebake. Tut viii the Courier please inform us
bow h. got his verg reiiab5e clue TO the author
ship OF =. Your Equal and Your Teers ?" Won'r
the Courier guess again Another guess
wouldn't lessen its character as an Almanac and
We hardly think it could lose cast, as respecta
Die journal, to review its Judgment
