LOTTERY sw1NpLE IN VERMONT.

The attention of the Executive Of this State
was sometime late in the month of January and
the early part of February, called, by several
circulras received from thuse to whom they had
been addressed in other and distant States, to
an extensive lottery swinde, whose point OF
action concentrated at North lhetford. No
time was lost by Gov Fairbanks in causing an
investigation into this violation of our statutes,
by Immediately communicating with the States
Attorney OF Orange County when the following
facts appeared:
About the first # December, Thomas +.
Howe, received box of letters, with an anony-
nous request by mail that he would mail them.
The letters were sealed and stamped. and Mr.
Howe says that he did not then know what was
in them. Later in the month, n Mr.. Reed who
is istant relative of Howe, came to North
Thetford, and brought with him two more box
es containing letters, stamped, sealed and di.
recled, TO be mailed at that Office. There being
in all II or $4,000 of these letters, and 10 IA
cilitate their despatch, Reed proposed himself
as n candidate for assistant postmaster, TO which
Howe assented, and he was accordingly duly
sworn, and thus acted until the whole number
were sent when he (Rerd) left, directing all
communications for S. b. Hale & Co.. OF which
firm he proiessed to be member TO certain

MASTER AND SCHoLAR.-There was a learn
ed pedagogue at Nantucket, in Nostale, who
used every morning to read few verses in the
Bible, and expound the text, as he proceeded,
in order that he might ascertain who were the
bright boys OF his school, by asking them cues
tions as to how much they remembered OF his
commentary. On one occasion he read from
the first chapter of job, thus;
"There was man in Uz. and his name was
Job, who feared God and eschewed evil" "Es-
chewed evil; that is, he eschewed evil as do
tobacco-he would have nothing to do with it,"
With this very clear and forcihlr clutdaion
of the meaning of the word eschew, he proceed
ed until the usual number Of verses were read
and commented on. in similar manner. AZ
Ter A proper interval, when the young mind
had time to digest its TODD the pedagogue
called up one Of the younger boys, and the fol-
lowing dialogue ensued
Who was the man that lived in UP
job.
Was he good manP
Yes
What did he doP
He chewed tobacco when nobody else would
have anything to do with it.
