new style of letter envelope has recent
been introduced The envelope is open at
the end only; and when the letter is slipped
in, the overlap is so contrived that the stamp
is laid upon it in the manner of seal Thus
the adhesiveness of the stamp is guaranty
for the security Of the envelope. But by an
additional continuance. the overlap is so ar
ranged that portion of the stamp with which
1t is sealed fastens to the letter beneath and
in opening the envelope, the stamp on which
a postmark and date is impressed, remains,
not on the envelope, where it is useless, but
on the letter, where it is often of great inn
portance to business men, who need to prove
the date of mailing of letter or remittance.

furry of snow followed by twenty-iour
hours of rain which has the agreeable effect
TO swamp again in this peculiar Virginia
mud. Probably this storm will detain us
two weeks at least. Much as we have ex-
ected to advance we are still here waiting

o be ready to march in moments notice

COUNCIL OF CENSORS.

EDITOR OF HERALD: - There seems TO
be much discussion in the newspapers of the
State relative to the method of nominating
Council of Censors, The calling of Con-
ventlon for that purpose appears to be the
best method as yet proposed and it is to be
hoped that the call you have issued will be
copied into all the papers of the State, and
that this convention be held, by common con-
sent, at Burlington, on the 18th of March,
without respect to party. Surely, this meth
cd can have no connection with any party,
as it will be by general consent that the con-
vention is held. This method, in nv opinion,
is preferable to having a convention called
by any committee of Union, or Republican,
or democratic Party.
1t also seems we'll for the papers to canvass
the names of those persons that should be
presented before the People-but not as the
st. Adams Messenger has done--the names
of those who are ineligible by the Constitu-
ton.
The following list would he strong ticket
Of faithful, energetic and well qualified men
to present to the freemen of Vermont for
their sutfrages for Council of Censors:
Leonard Sergeant, Manchester,
Daniel Kellogg, Brattleboro,
Horatio Needham, Bristol,
Daniel Roberts, Burlington,
Carlos Coolidge, Windsor,
Robert Pierpoint, Rutland,
B Il Smalley, Swanton,
Lucius Peck, Montpelier,
Giles Harrington, Alburgh,
Elijah Cleaveland, Coventry,
CIV Clarke, Chelsea,
WE H Bingham, Stowe,
Thomas Bartlett, Lyndon,
John Dewey, Maidstone.
This list comprises men who have not held
position m the State Government within
the last seven years, and are well worthy of
the confidence of the people of Vermont.

He served the full term, and at the expi-
