HEAVY DAMAGES.

The case of F. T. Bnigman against the
town of Hardwick, on trial at the county
court last week, has resulted in the jury
giving verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of $l,859 33. The action was
brought for alleged Injuries to the plain
tiff while riding over the highway in
that town, May 8, 1862. The plaintiff
claimed that while riding along in the
evening of the above date, over level
piece of road, the wheels of his wagon
dropped into culvert, the covering Of
which had decayed and fallen in, tho
shock of which threw out the king bolt of
his wagon, thereby violently ejecting him
from his seat forward upon the ground.
In his decent his right shoulder struck
the iron plate on the the forward axle,
causing fracture of bone in the joint
from the effects of which he has never re-
covered with the ultimate prospect of en-
tire loss of the use of his arm; and since
the accident it was claimed that he has
only been able to use his fingers and
move his wrist, having no power to
raise his arm or extend it from his
BODY. The defense commended that the
road was in fair state Of repair for the
time of the year, it being before the
ground was settled. and before the usual
time of working highways,--that the
plaintiff was driving at so great speed
as to make him alone responsible for the
accident; and furthermore that the plain
tiff was not injured at all, or anywhere
near the extent claimed, &c. The case &C.
cupied the court some five days, there be-
ing large number of witnesses on both
sides. The case was ably argued by
Messrs. Bartlett and Redfeld for the plff,
and Messrs. Davis and Colby for the town.
The charge of Judge Poland was lengthy
and able, and the jury, after celebrating
some time brought in the above verdict

THE ATLANTIC MoNTHLY.-Thc thir
teenth volumu Of this able American pc.
riodical begins the January number.
Steadily increasing in popularity, since
its present Publishers Messrs. Ticknor e.
Fields assumed its management it has
now circulation greater than that ever
reached by any American magazine of its
class and numbers among its regular con-
tributors such names as Longfellow, Haw-
thornc Emerson, Bryant. Agassiz,
Holmes, Lowell. Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Whittier, and others scarcely less eminent.
Its stereotyped volumes are valuable re-
pository of original papers on a very great
variety of subjects, and its monthly, is
sues have a genuine freshness and fitness
t, the hour. If it is good test. s it
certainly is. as the standing of maya
zine that it attracts and introduces new
writers, the names of Higglnson. of Gail
Hamilton, and of the lamented Winthrop
are evidence enough of what the Atlantic
has thus accomplished. Nor can better
proof be given of the popular estimation
in which it is held than dem aud for
publication in separate volumes of many
of the serial papers that first appeared in
its pages, such as The Autocrat, Elsie
Venner, Agassiz' Methods of Study in
Natural History, The Minister'S Woo
ing Life in the Open Air. Agnes of
Sorrento Outdoor Papers Thoreaus
Excursions Whitter's In War Time,
and others. mH
"As among the chi efest merits of the
Atlantic, also. let us not forget that it
has honestly held and freely declared its
own opinions. on other than literary ques-
tions. and that while it has won for it.
self in literature position which no 9TH
er American magazine has reached, it has
cosistently spoken true words for Liberty
and Progress. In the present crisis
through which the country is passing ev.'
cry intelligent American should know

the contributors 60 the Atlantic are exert
ing upon the progress of humanity"

"sPuNKY LAMoILLE', ALL RIGHT, SURE

There have recently been several meet
ings in the county: both as town meetings
and as meetings for the sake of listening
TO patriotic appeals from speakers who
have seen service in the 6eld and as a
result, nearly all the men called for from
the county arc already enlisted.
o Col. Thomas of the Sth Infantry, and
COL Sawyer, and Captain Parsons of the
Cavalry addressed full aud enthusiastic
meetings at Stowe, Morrisville, Hyde
Park, Johnson and Cambridge, on Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday evening last.
Morristown, Hyde Park and johnson
have held town meetings and have each
voted $500 bounty to volunteers. The
vote in each town was nearly unanimous.
Since the meeting in this town, on Mon
day, four of the eight deficiency on the
draft have enlisted, and others will soon
follow their example.
ii In Cambridge, after the meeting, sew
en- or eight men stepped forward and stat
ed their readiness to enlist, and as many
more signi6ed the same soon after.
Cambridge had no deficiency on the draft
to supply, aud will doubtless soon have
her men all raised. Eden, Wolcott and
Stowe, as we understand, are the only
towns which have voted no bounty to men
who will volunteer to fill up the defcien-
cy on the draft Eden is to hold a
meeting Immediately to consider the mat
ter; Wolcott is only two or three men
deficient, and will without doubt find no
trouble in getting them; how the case is
with Stowe we do not know, but take it
for granted that she will not fail to show
as good record in the matter as any of
her sisters.
In short. we feel justified in stating that
"Spunky Lamoille' may lie relied upon in
any call to furnish aid in putting down
the rebellion; and as evidence, we give
the following resolution which was intro
duccd by Mr.. Child at the meetings re-
Gently addressed by Col. Thomas, and
unanimously adopted by them all
RESOLVED, That the County of Lamoile will
furnish the quota Of volunteers under the last
call Of the President and meet the deficiency under
The draft and should three hundred thousand
more be called for by the President, we will
promptly furnish our quota of them, or any 9th
err lumber within our means, necessary to crush
the existing rebellion

VERMONT GENERALS.

Why has Vermont but one Brigadier
General? 1t cannot be because the one
we have is inefficient for the praise of
General otanuard is in the mouths of all.
1t cannot be because We have no IN ore good
material. as has been shown in Colonel
Thomas of our Eighth Regiment, who has
been long in command of brigade, and
shown himself an officer of competency !;
in Colonel Jewett of the Tenth Regiment,
who was in command of an independent
brigade, six or eight months, and received
high communication from the general COM
handing the department, for his ability !;
in Colonel Grant who has been in com
mand of our First Brigade. for long
time and shown himself fully equal to the
place. having the confidence of our supe-
rior officers. and in many more Of our
Vermont Colonels.
| am aware that Congress passed res
omtion that no officer should receive pro-
motion to a general except for gallant
conduct, but surely Colonel Thomas has
shown himself have in the hard fought
battles of the Gulf Department. Colonel
Grant has shown himself gallant in many
battles which the first brigade have par.
ticlpated in, and many other of our Col.
onels have distinguished themselves for
gallantry.
The promotion Of Colonel is Tot an
individual matter. 1t makes promotion
for other worthy officers. going through a
regiment down to a corporal. 1t is mat
ter of State pride and honor 1t will tell
in her future history.
We have Senators and Representatives
Of acknowledged ability, and large inau-
ence' and ] feel certain they will see that
our State gets her due, if the matter is
properly brought before them.

The deserted infant picked up in the

said she went from Lamoille County to
Stanstead, @. E., and there married man

when able she came to Montpelier arriv-

A JoKE-We have story that the Sc.
lect men of our neigh boring town, Crafts
bury, engaged one of their towrsmen to
give his time to enisting men for the
town, promising to pay them liberal
bounty, and that nine men were enlisted
by him. he paying bounty of one hun
dred dollars each, to them, out of his own
pocket. At town meeting held recently.
the town refused to ratify the doings of
the select men and their recruiting officer,
as the men were enlisted, and would be
credited to their town in any event, as
they supposed, and there would be no &C.
casion for paying any bounty and so left
the men who had become involved to the
tune of nine or ten hundred dollars to
whistle for their pay" Thereupon the
officer took his men to Hardwick, and re-
ceived for them 1926 each, realizing quite
little purse by the operation. Of course
Craftsbury people could then see where
they missed it, and they have concluded
to pay the usual bounty, and furnish their
men.
There are always two sides to every
story, and we presume, of course, that this
is only one side of this story, and that
the other is quite different. AT least we
hope SO.
