Raiders IN wnliston.

Editors Free PrefS
Our quiet village was last
evening the scene Of daring and unprecedented
affair. While the newly-formed Home Guard
was assembled at the Town Hall, for choice OF
officers, a party Of persons surrounded the house
Of Rev. Mr. Hough, took f0rcible possession Of
the premises. and proceeded to put in execution
plan Of the most surprising character. One
Of their number entering alone, desired to see
Mr. H. in his study, and detained him there in
conversation, while the others quietly entered
and took possession Of the whole house. The
clergyman and his family were taken completely
by surprise, and resistance was out Of the ques-
ton. The leader Of the party, approaching Mr..
Il. oppressed to him, in most emphatic terms,
their opinion Of his loyal utterances in the pulpit
and his conduct Of the pastoral Office Mr.. II.
is confient that he recognized in the number
M sny Of his own parishioners and those who have
heretofore been his warmest friends. Having
accomplished their purpose, they departed as
suddenly as they came, leaving behind in their
haste. a package of 6ank-biiIs amounting to
Sl55. and a minister as thoroughly astonlshed
as were the st. Albans bank officers, when lock-
el in their own safe.
MAY the daring raiders be followed with sue
cess and receive their full deserts.

Ms. LINcoLS's ELKcTIoS.-Ihe Montreal
WiineIs remarks on the result Of the PresI-
Dental election, as follows
The Presidential election appears to have
resulted more triumphantly for Lincoln than
the most sanguine friends Of frsedOm dared to
hope. This is strange Comment on the
English papers which reach US, and which,
taking their tone from the letters Of De Sala
and Mackay, seem confidently TO anticipate
q great triumph for Mcclellan. In tact.
Britain thas viewed this whole contest
through spectacles that were not only eOi-
ored but distorted The perfect quiet. TO o
which has characterized the election, not
withstanding the various consplracles to ear
~ it by fraud Or violence for the Democrat
ic party, Is worthy Of note; and makes US
realize that even in Canada We know but
little Of the genius Of American institutions.
The depth OF purpose which Is manifested by
the reiterauOn, with constantly increasing
emphasis, Of the national viii, that no sep
aration or dismemberment or loss of terri
tory. shall be permitted, has not been appre-
eiated. and hence many have thought that
the Southern States might or would succeed
in establishing separate Coniederacy This
expectation must now, we think, be given
up by all candid thinkers and the giving in
Of the South ~ the overwhelming forces
brought against it, must (humanly speak
ing) notwithstanding the Spartan herOism
Of the Shareholders. be only question Of
time.

Correspondents Of the frss Pres.
From Montpelier.
MONTPELIER, Friday, Nov. II

Ed,lors Of the Free Prsn:
The Legislature seem to be very mssh
refreshed by the vacation they have enjoyed.
They begin work again with brisknsss that
might, under some circumstances, be dangerous.
The House, slmos, immediately upon coming
together yesterday, after nearly weeks 'aea-
ton. voted to repeal the Agricultural College
Act Of last year 1t has taken 30 much less time
to repeal this Act than Was required to pass il,
tbs, the inference is fair one, that either the
Legislature Of last year was an Insignificant body,
or the present House has taken action hastily.
The discussions on the Agricultural College
question this session have been brief but instruct
i've. Among other pOints, one has been insisted
upon to the effect that to unite the Agricultural
College with existing institutions would "dis-
grace the fund" 1t ought not, it is said, TO be
so diverted. It is suggested, with a view to
avoid this disgrace that a reform school for
delinquent juveniles may be associated with the
Agricultural college. No joke is intended. but
it is serious proposition. Something besides Al
Agricultural Department is thought desirable,
and reform school was therefore suggested 1t
may be proper to relieve apprehension by saying
that a proposition to connect an alms-hOuse with
the institution, has not thus far been made.
1t il far to state that majority Of the House
do not favor any wild scheme in reference to the
Agricultural College. A separate Institution
devoted to the interests Of Agriculture is now the
plan most favored.
A bill introduced by Mr. Stewart o. Middle
bury. providing fr the incorporation Of such an
institution, was referred by the House to select
committee to-day This bill comes in as an
amendment Of the bill reported by the select
committee Of which Mr.. Hebard Of Chelsea is
chairman.
As close my letter motion is made to re-
consider the vote Of yesterday repeating the Act
incorporating State University, SC. The mo-
