No PRESCRIPTION on ACCOUNT OF OPIS-
roN.-Senator Wilson, at a Republican
meeting in Philadelphia, recently, said:
A day or two ago I said to President
Johnson. there are differences of opinion
in regard to negro suffrage. In my State
we are all one way. We are all for secu-
rity for the future. We do not ask any
indemnity for the past. There is no in
demnity for the $4,000 dead heroes who
lie under the sod of Southern battle-ields.
There is no indemnity for widows and
orphans-none! We can forgive their
murderers, but we want security that our
sons shall not be murdered in the future.
We want loyal men to govern America
torevermore. I asked the President If he
made any discrimination among the men
who elected him on account Of their views
on suffrage or on reconstruction. The
President said he never had made any such
distinctions, and never intended to make
any in the future-that he was in favor OF
the freest and fullest discussion OF all the
questions now arising before US. And 80
long as we have broad federation and free
discussion, we can 60 right on, shoulder
to shoulder, arguing, discussing and exam
ming these questions that are before US to
be solved, and I believe now, as / did dur
ing the war, that we will solve these ques-
tons right, and that our country will
come out in future glorious and free =

Extra QUAKEs.-By the way Of "clos-
ing out the consignment" we were treated
to two small third class earthquakes Sat-
urday night and Sunday morning. The
FIRST was a single well-defned jolt, OF but
one-horse power, and came off at fifteen
minutes before twelve o'clock at night.
The second improved on the last-saw 1t
and went one jolt better, which made two,
and exercised itself with considerably
more vim. It occurred at half-past four
o'clock Sunday morning. They were both,
however, small affairs, compared with one
much heavier. We trust the consignment
il closed out nou.-S. F. Call.

rll, Of Montpelier, and to our bereave-
ment in his death.
Last year we were called to mourn
over the departure in death of Hon. Zmri
Howe, Of Castleton, faithful and tried
friend of the cause of Temperance. His
judicious counsels, and earnes. labors ex-
tending through many years, had endear.
ed him TO the State, and TO il 10 his prin-
ciples and examples he bequeathed rich
inheritance.
The present year, now near to its close,
has also furnished its admonitions. Not
to speak of all who can be with US no
more, we may allude to the death in the
autumn, of h Rev. Andrew Royce,
formerly and for many years, a success
ful preacher in Barre. His many ex-
celIencies should long be remembered.
Still more recently our communities
were shocked, at h a announcement,
through the public journals, of;he death
of Hon. Erastus Fairbanks, Of ST. Johns
bury. Probably it is not too much TO say,
that no man in the State, considering his
extensive business, attended SO many
meetings, and contributed more largely
to their stability and welfare, by his coun-
sells and contributions, than he. Even
now, 10 imagination, we look upon his
genial countenance and silvery locks,
while in his cuunsels he utters words that
are like apples of gold in pictures of
silver. "The memory of the jus; is bles-
sed."

them into conical heap, either where

L. II. STONE,
For the Exec. Com.

On Sunday evening, about 8 l-2 o'clock
the new college building was discovered
to be on fire, and before any effective aid
could be rendered, the flames had made
such progress as to make all attempts to
suppress them futile. In two or three
hours nothing was left Of Starr Hall but
the gaping walls. The students were
nearly all absent for the winter. The
contents of rooms in the south half OF the
building, where the fire commenced, were
all lost. The wind was south and drove
a continual shower of cinders upon The
other buildings, and for time it seemed
to save the Chapel and its
contents. But by great exertion
and not little daring it was saved
The building destroyed was worth $780,
600. Insured for $5,000,-MddleJary
