RECEPTION OF THE FoURTEENrH'--
The Fourteenth regiment is at Brattleoo-
70, and will in a few days leave there for
home. This regiment, as our readers are
aware. in connection with other Vermont
nine-months regiments, greatly dlstln-
guished itself by its brilliant conduct at
the battle of Gettysburg. Its services
should be recognized, and the gratitude OF
our people therefor IN some measure eX-
pressed, by fitting reception. This is
especially due from Rutland, as the regi-
ment is commanded by our gallant towns
man, Col. Nichols, and no less than four
of the companies composing 1t are from
this county. We suggest, therefore, that
some of our citizens take the initiative at
once, and call meeting for the purpose
of making the proper arrangements
The mere suggestion will of course be suf-
fcient.
AoclDENr.-Ihe Rev. Mr.. Hooker, of
Springfield, VT, and member Of the
Vermont Conference, died short time
SINCE At the funeral, the horse attached
to the hearse containing the corpse, in de-
scending steep hill became unmanagea-
BILE, breaking both thills and running
against the team of the Rev. r. W. Har-
low, pushing his horse down, and sending
him mo the ditch, bruising his leg badly;
his wagon was nearly used up. The
hearse was run into stone wall and up
set. The coffin being of hard wood did
not break open. Both horses ran 40 or
! so rods and were then recovered.
RUTLAND COUNTY DE0IoCRACy.f1-
The Springfield Mass Republican,
strangely enough, thinks it doesn't make
much difference whom the democrats"
nominate up this way, 1t says:
The democrats had a powerful gather
ing at Rutland on Tuesday of which the
Herald thus speaks: :" John Cain, Esq,
of this place, assembled in democratic
county convention at the Town Hall yes
terday Owing to the nclemency Of the
weather, he did not get together until
some time alter the appointed hour" y
But after while he had a cOrporal's
guard to help him, and the motions We're
gone through with as if it made a differ
ence who they nominated.
TROUBLE IN THE DEMOCRATIC :"
CAMP-The Montpelier Argus lectures
the North Star as follows:
Does the Danville North Star heartily
support the Democratic State ticket, or Is
its quasi support thereof because forced
bv its democratic patrons If the form
er, why does it speak of the Republican
State Convention a. the Union State
Convention 2" Why not call things by
their right names, aud not deceive the peo-
Pile by styling Republican Convention
Union" when there was nothing about
it but abolition-republicanism? Does the
Star see any " Union in the resolutions
passed by that Convention ?"
MARRYING AUTHORITIES TAKE No.
TICE-The last Legislature passed law
which takes effect August lst, which i'm
poses a heavy penalty on preachers, OIL
others, who marry persons who have no
been published according to law. They
are liable to an Indictment on complain
of the grand juror, and to fine not ex
ceedlng one hundred dollars and to max
sure that the grand juror shall not neglec
to indict them he is liable to fine for ever,
omission of duty in that regard Minis
tiers, and justices of the peace, will "tak'
due motto, and govern themselves accor
dinghy"
