he held until the advent Of the present pro-

models for completeness in equipment, regu-

as his house, high reputation among travel

PREPARE FOR THE RoRsERs

Gangs Of raiding robbers have appeared in
Orleans county, particularly at Irasbursb,
where one man has been arrested on suspicion
and is still held. Fortunately, on the occa-
sion Of the visit to -rasburgh the people we're
assembled and had organized company Of
one hundred men and stationed pickcts, so
that the rascals hurried away. Companies
have also been organized at Derby and New
port. The man under arrest came on The
stage from Montpelier to within two miles Of
Irasburgb, where he left the stage and walk
ed in. This is pretty fair evidence that some
of the rasoals have been at Montpelier. We
have heard Of other incidents tending the
same way,-enough to warrant watcnfulness
among our citizens and arms ready for actual
and active service.

The meeting last evening, held in the Rep
resentetive Hall proved to be of special in
terest. AS is always the case where the gal
lantry of Vermont soldiers is the subject of
remark, there was no lack of speakers who
were ready to express, what all felt SO deep
ly,-'that the greatest debt Vermont can ever
owe, is debt of gratitude to her soldiers
Tributes Of respect and love to brave men who
have fallen in the field, were most appropri-
ately rendered by gentlemen eminent for
ability and patriotism. Mr. Nicholson of
Wallingford who was chosen chairman OF
the meeting, spoke in fitting terms of Col,
Cummings, who was formerly clerk Of the
House. Maj Dillingham; and Maj. Reynolds
we're also spoken Of at some length. The
evening passed only too quickly to give OPP
portlully for members, citizens aud soldiers
to say all that patriotism and loyalty would
have prompted had further opportunity been
afforded.

VIOLENCE THREATENED.-The editor OF
the New York News was implicated in the
reasonable plans recently detected in the
West. This fact gives an Interpretation to
call in that paper last week, to the Demo-
Gratis to organize for operation at the polls on
tue Sth Of November, which forebodes an at
tempt to break up the election by violence,
and thus iuaugurate rebellion at the North.
We presume the authorities, State and Ma
tional, are not iusensible to the danger nor
unprepared for it. As for Vermont, we are
unwilling to believe that the McClelanites or
Peace Democrats, are bad or bold enough to
attempt any disturbance but there is posi-
BILE danger from other men and another
source, and that is, raids by rebel emissaries
and ineendiares now in Canada. Indeed we
have high authority for saying that there are
evidences of preparation for such raids, Our
authority is an officer of Vermont charged
with defending the frontier word TO the
