Session of April, and chiefly in pursuance OF
the legislation of that session.
The committee to canvass the votes of State
officers have not yet reported and they will
probably delay doing so until Mr.. ITobiook,
who is undoubtedly the Governor elect, shall
arrive. BY this delay the nice constitutional
question as to who would be the Executive in
the interval between the time it is declared who
is elected Governor and the qualification of the
person thus declared elected, is avoided. This
course is deemed advisable as there are grave
differences of opinion among the members on
that important question.
Mead's celebrated statue of Ethan Allen was
duly inaugurated on Thursday last. The day
was all that could be desired, the attendance
was very large. including quite a number of
your fair towns-women, and the ceremonies
were exceedingly appropriate. The Grafton by
Senator Woodbridge was an able and eloquent
production, and was well worthy the reputation
of its distingu shed author. The singing under
the direction Of Col. Hopkins of Montpelier
and the music by the Band chimed in well with
the temper of the assemblage and were in har-
mony with the spirit of the occasion. The
statue is universally conceded to be a decided
success, and will fully establish Mr.. Mead's
reputation as an artist of uncommon genius
The 9th regiment Vermont Volunteers, Col.
Nathan Lord, Jr., commanding, are still here in
camp and barracks, on the Fair ground, about
mile east of the village. The generally rainy
weather of the past week has retarded their
operations, and the non-arrival of the muster
ing officer will occasion still further delay in
their moving forward to the seat of war. The
regiment is in good condition, well Differed,
and both officers and men are anxiously waiting
for the time when they can move forward.
l cannot omit mentioning a great improve
ment that has taken place in the Post-Ofice
since my last visit to Montpelier. The old,
dingy rat-hole so long in use here and so un-
favorably known TO hundreds of ex.members
of the General Assembly, has been finally aban-
doned, and the office is established in a new and
uncommony beautiful and commodous build
ing erected expressly for the purpose by J. G.
French, the energetic and popular Postmaster
of the town. 1t will in all its appointments
compare favorable with those built at Burlng-
ton, Rutland and Windsor by the United States.
Mr.. French deserves well of the public for the
zeal and interest he has manifested in their ac-
commodOtion. He and his accomplished as
sstant, Mr.. Redfeld, make it in every respect
a model Office.
l learn that but little progress has been made
by the Committee appointed by the last Leg
isature to settle with the late Treasurer Bates
Matters in that connection are in such con-
fused state and other parties are so intimately
involved therein that considerable litigation
will be necessary before any decisive results can
be obtained. The State may about as well
charge this, deficit of $4,000 to profit and loss,
or to loss alone. c.

NEW BOOKS.

REVISED REGULATIONS FOR THE ARMY.-A
volume Of some $50 pages Octave, has just
been issued under authority Of the War De
partment and approval of the President, for
the information and government of the military
service it being revision of all that has be-
fore existed in relation to this branch of service
and is by the Secretary of War declared "ihe
sole and standing authority upon the matter
therein contained" The work u.s. as it should
be, most explicit upon the military discipline
and respective duties of each class of men,
from the Private to the Lieut. Colonel; and
matters Of pay, rations, clothing and all that
relates to the material welfare of every grade in
the whole army, is prescribed in a manner suf
fciently clear to be comprehended by all.
book like this, in ordinary times would be p o.
nounced uninteresting but while our country
remains q school for soldiers, textbook furn-
ished by the Government must be regarded as
of superior interest to all who engage in the
prosecution of this strife, which will be lon er
or shorter in the degree in which our troops
attain intelligence in the art of war. To be

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

An adjourned meeting Of the Western Aque-
Bank, next Monday evening; and report of
the committee to investigate the condition Of
springs, with the best manner of securing all
the water owned by the association, will be pre-
scented.
On Monday last, Charles Henry, son Of Geo.
Henry of this village, in swinging from the
lower branch Of chestnut tree TO the ground,
broke his leg near the ankle. His father, who
was with him, conveyed him home where the
limb was promptly attended to by DIR. Gale.
new organization under the title of Union
Drill Club, composed of numbers of the Home
Guards, so called, and many new recruits, COM
manced course of military drill under favor
able auspices, during the past week. Thus an
opportunity is offered for acquiring good
knowledge of the rudiments of military service
and practice, which should not be disregarded
by any of our young or able-bodied men who
can command their time for the purpose. The
advantage of such drill as is contemplated in
this club, was apparent in the formation Of our
last company from this village, in which six or
eight members of the former drill-class
enlisted, and the majority of them were APP
pointed to positions which they could fill cred
itably from their familiarity with the first prin-
ciples of the soldiers profession. About forty
names appear on the roll of the club, and it is
hoped the number may be doubled.
The young bachelor whose musical taste was
not excessive, but who was DESTROYS of sub
scribing five dollars for the singing school, "to
be expended in intcImiSsiOnS," finds himsel
uncomfortable in Prof. Kimbal's classes, the
main object with the teacher and scholars ev-
identity being advancement in the art of sing
ing. More than one hundred scholars are in
attendance upon both classes, and additions to
each are numerous as the school progresses.
limitations are given of a concert TO close the
course of lessons, to be giving by the school
and for their benefit, the proceeds of which may
be appropriated for further lessons; and if
progress marks the whole course as in the por-
ton now past, the public may anticipate an
agreeable musical event, without the aid of i'm
ported material.

A very interesting little work has just appear

details and anecdotes we select the following |:
A Dublin citizen, Il think dealer in tobacco
and snuff about the end Of last century, had
lived to a good age and in good repute, under
the name Of Halfpenny. He throve in trade,
and his children prevailed on him in his latter
years to change his name, which they thought
undignifsd, and this he did by simply drop
ping the last letter. lie died, and was buried
ss Mr.. Haipe~. The fortune Of the family did
not recede and the son Of our citizen thought
proper to renounce retail dealing and at the
