Of the town, and to issue town orders for the
same. pavable July IS, 1867. 1t was also vo-
tod 10 raise a tax of As per cent of theaGrand
List. payable on the 18th of July, 1868, ma
king a deduction of one ninth on all sums paid
into the hands of the Town Treasurer on or be-
fore that day. This tax together with the $4,000
authorized to be borrowed, covers the indebt-
sJoess of the town payable this year, together
with the current expenses. ..
The gushing of Mr.. Hannum, as LIST Select
man. appears to have been the result OF some
illegal voting. Ga the first ballot taken, all
we're allowed TO vote without question. The
ballot resulted as follows Griggs, 25O; Han
mum, PIG; Billings, 2; total, 468. On the
next ballot taken, that for I'd Selectman, Con-
stable Chatterton, (who stated that many yo-
ted before who were net legally entitled to-
was appointed to receive the ballots, and al
though there were more persons then IN the
Hall than on the previous vote, only APO bal
lots were cast, as follows Hannum, 2l9; Bill
lings, POI some being excluded from voting
who voted on the preceding ballot. -
With this exception, the meeting passed OFT
to the satisfaction of the citizens generally, we
believe; and the officers are, in the main, God
ones. We particularly co. graduate the towp
on its able aud efficient board of Fence View
ers They will discharge their highly respou-
sbIe duties with the greatest fearlessness, i'm
psrtiality and unanimlty.
For County Commissioner, William G. Kit
tredge received all the votes oast-239. We
would thank our frieniis in the County to send
us the vote for County Commissioner in their
several towns.

As this is positively Mr.. Dodge's last public
appearance in Rutland, there will be rush
for seats, and it behooves all to be on hand
cary. We understand that the rush to hear
Mr.. Dodge this winter has been so great, that
he has been obliged to repeat his concerts in
several places, and in some instances to give
tro concerts in ons might in the same hall
in order to crafty all who docked to hear him.
He will give one concert in Castleton on Mon
day eve, March 10th
