II. Stone and w. w. Atwater were elected
Secretaries.
Resolutions of respect to the memory Of
the late Zimri Howe Of Castleion, were
adopted, and the following oiiicerssior the
year ensuing, we're chosen:
President Rev. Eli Ballou. Montpelier,
| Vice Presidents Lorenzo Sheldon,
West Rutland; James II. Mcrdock, Wood
stock; Hon. VIM. Hebard Chelsea.
| Rec. and Cor. Secretary Rev. Levi II.
Stone, Mortified.

lard, Montpelier. Edwin Fisher, Cabot |;
Bev. A. L. Cooper. Montpelier; Rev. p.
F. Barnard, Williamstown Jacob s.
Spnulding, Barre; Hon. Walter Palmer,
Woodstock.
The following resolution was introduced,
and after some debate for and against, and
an unsuccessful attempt to amend, was
adopted;
Resokred. That as the cause Of Temper
ance is suffering more from the apathy of
its friends than from the activity Of its OPP
ponents, and that as the influence Of an in
consistent temperance man is greater against
the cause than is the effort of an opponent
or the example even of drunkard, il be-
comes every active friend of temperance TO
be earnest in his support of the Prohibito-
ny Law, and active in helping TO enforce it,
as well as to set the example Of consist
ent temperance man before the world.
The following resolutions were also
adopted
Resolred, That as friends of Temperance,
we continue TO regard, not only the drink
ing of intox eating liquors, but also the en-
tire traffic in them, as grievous sin against
the law of the State.
Resoired, That We recommend the form
alton of Prohi5itosy Ls,W Leagues in the
several towns in the State, whose object
shall be the vigorous enforcement of the
Prohibitory Law.
Resoired, That we recommend the revival
of County Temperance Societies which
shall assemble quarterly, in which the Pro-
hibitory Law Leagues shall be represented.
Resolred, That in view of the notorious
fact that officers who are charged with the
execution of the Prohibitory Law often
connive at its violation, we will, in fidelity
to our temperance principles, support for
office only such men as we have reason 10
believe will faithfully enforce the Prohib.o-
ry Law.
IL, solred, That we recommend that the
next session of our State Legislature repeal
the law making the office of States Attor-
ney a salaried office.
Resoired, That This convention deem it
proper to request the friends Of temperance
throughout the State to keep ever present
before the public mind, the fact that L. s.
license for the sale of liquors, furnishes no
Protection from punishment for any viola
ton OF a State Prohibi,ory Law.
Resolred, That the existence Of good
prohibitory liquor law does not release the
friends of temperance from the duty of en-
ployng all the usual moral influences, for
the promotion of the good cause.
The ci liens of Burlington generously
entertained the members of the convention,
which was suitably acknowledged.
The place for the next meeting was left
to the Executive Committee.

On New Years how fsrvenily all loyal
people prayed for deliyerance, that our days
of darkness might disappear and give way
to the meridian light of hope. victory and
joy. The year 1868 is now nearly passed,
and behold how abundanfly the prayers of
nation have been answered. The most
prayerfal. the most ardent and enthusiastic,
could not reasonably have anticipated or ex-
pected moro. The year commenced with
the Proclamation of Freedom to the bond
men, by the President, giving them their
natural rights and long lost liberty, and has
been followed with almost unvarying sue
cess throughout the year. And as we have
come to the close of the year, how meet that
we should return thanks 10 Almighty God
for his great blessings in thus answering
the prayers of the people, and pray that
the year to come may be the end of the
Shareholders rebellion, and that our people
may learn war no more.

will appear more practical as to what has

County Inspector of Oil.

Our attention has been called to the
fact that the Legislature, last winter,
passed an act to provide for the inspection
of Petroleum Oils for Illuminating pur.
poses. This law was deemed necessary
as a precautionary measure against acct.
dents from the explosion of burning oils.
The law provides that upon the applica,
ton of five or more citizens of any county
in this State, wherein any coal oil, petro.
leum oil, or a mixture of coal and petro-
leum oils is made, refined or manufacture
ed, for Misunderstanding purposes, the
Judge of the Court of Comman Pleas shall
appoint a person suitably qualified, who
is not interested in the making or vend-
ing of any of these oils, or burning fluids,
who shall at his own expense provide
himself with the necessary instruments
for testing the quality, &C., of the oils,
when requested by any re6ner or dealer,
to examine them, and if he aseertains the
oil to be all right he shall mark Approx
ed on the barrel, but if not found of the
proper quality, he is to mark it Rejected
for Illuminating purposes" He is to
reject all Petroleum Oils which at the
temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit
viii emit an explosive gas or ignite upon
plunging therein a well lighted match.
The penalty for selling in violation of this
act is $500. For using false brand, II fine
of $500, or Imprisonment in the county
jail not exceeding six months, or both, at
the discretion of the court. Persons
dealing in the article, neglecting to com
ply with the law, shall be liable to any
party injured for any damage sustained
thereby. And if any loss of life result as
a consequence of neglect or refusal TO do
what is enjoined in the law, the person so
delinquent shall be deemed guilty of
~manslsughter, and punished according to
the statute in such cases made and pro-
vided.
The term of Office of an inspector is
one year. The compensation is five cents
on every package, cask or barrel inspect
ed, to be paid by the owner or party EN-
ploy:ng him.
This is a very stringent law. and a
failure 10 observe its requirements may
get parties interested in the oil business
into serious trouble. A number of deaths
and less serious accidents occurred last
winter, in various parts of the State,
which, we have been informed, were the
instigating cause of the passage of the law
above referred to.

Lieut. A. D. Sawyer.


This gentleman, whom many Of our
readers will recollect, is LIST Lieut.. in the
Odd Regt. Ind. Vol, and commanded his
company in the late battle at Murfresboro
In a recent letter to DIR. C. Palmer, of this
place, after detailing numerous hardships
to which his regiment was subjected, in
marching, scouting &c, says: Gen. John
son, on the extreme right, was taken
completely by surprise, and by his negli-
gence, our Division, the LIST, was outfank-
ed, our right being on Johnson's left. The
rebels took all of Johnson's artillery, his
horses not even being harnessed. Some
of his men were killed in their tents.
Many Of his officers swear vengence on
him, if opportunity offers. The breaking
of the right, left US no support, and we
had to save ourselves a. best We could.
When / left the field, the enemy were
not more than eight or ten rods from US.
batteries cut swaths three battallions
deep, through the rebels, and legs, arms,
and fragments of bodies, filed the air.
But we could not stand against such
fearful odds. The Hoosier 22d was COM
.plimented for her standing.
Friday, our division was ordered to
assist Van Cleve's, on the left, but we
did not come up in time to participate.
The old 10Th, won new l~aurels, taking a
part of the celebrated Washington Bat
terry, but suffered severely. The victory,
if one. was dearly purchased.

Recruiting Officers.

The question is frequently asked why
so many who were known to have been
in the service, and are not known tc
have left it, are seen on our streets and
throughout the country. We do not
know how it may be in all instances, but
presume many are situated similarly to
Capt. Jas. Abel. Several months since,
he with others, was sent on recruiting
service, from the 9th cavalry. At the
conclusion of the draft, recruiting was
about played out" and the Captain so
reported to headquarters, and requested
to be ordered back to his regiment. He
has since reported in person at Columbus;
still he was ordered home to araitO orders.
Doubtless many are absent without
leave, but it is also possible that many so
reported, have been ordered from their
regiments, and ars not only willing but
anxious to rejoin them,::but cannot until
so much red tape is unwound.
