Our 'HOCK' is very similar to the Rhine

rich wine; and will commend itself to all lovers
of that class of wines.
The "ANGELICA'' and ''MUSCATEL" are
both naturally sweet wines, particularly adapted
to party dessert use, the sick chamber. They
are the finest wines of their class in Anne lea. The

is much admired for its richness and delicacy and

PERsoNAL.-Melvin Foster, formerly
of Rutland, now of New York, who has
become quite noted in sporting circles
as a skillful and successful "cueist" has
been on visit here for few days, and on
Friday evening gave our billiard players
an opportunity of witnessing and admir-
ing his proficiency, in Musseys Billiard
Rooms. Rutland has furnished New
York with two rising stars of the bill
lard world-Goldthwait and Foster.
Mr.. Chas A. Hoyt, Of the Burling

connection with that journal and gone
into mercantile life. Mr.. Hoyt is a ready
writer, and that he is sensible man is
proved by his now going into a paying
business.
COL George P. Foster, 4th Vt. has
gone to the front. He had leave of alb
sence for twenty days, and in six days
the music at the front was so lively that
he could not stay at home any longer.

Capt. Charles A. Adams, Co. H, 1st

month since. He made his way out by
way of Knoxville, footing the whole dis
tance $50 miles. Capt. Adams was
wounded and taken prisoner at the great
cavalry engagement at Brandy Station,
October 1lth, 1868, and has therefore
been in rebel prisons nearly eighteen
months,

A LEGISLATIVE SNoRE.-An Albany
correspondent of the Evening Post
writes as follows concerning scene in
the New York Senate Chamber on
Wednesday night:
Il witnessed, this evening, at the capi-
tol, q scene which ought not to be con-
cealed from the public, AS I entered
the Senate chamber, | observed that
there was large attendance of specta-
tors, but very few Senators in their
places, especially on the Democratic
side of the House. Indeed, the only one
in his seat was Senator Thomas c.
Fields, of New York, sound asleep, and
snoring heavily and 'incoherently.
Anthony Van Cuyler's nasal trumpet,
celebrated by the great historian Diede-
rick KniCkerbOcker, could not have ut
tered a more sOnorous and startling
blast. Senator Allaben from the Della
ware district, was reading a speech.
Senator Saxton Smith of Putnam coun-
ty, was temporarily in the chair. Sena-
tor Hobbs made several attempts to in
terrupt the speaker, and finally succeed
ed so far as to say that he intruded for
the purpose of calling the attention of
the Senate to the disgraceful scene of a
Senator lying thus openly in his place,
and desired to know if the chair would
entertain any motion on the subject.
Senator Smith-in the chair-decided
that he could not entertain any motion
unless the Senator who was speaking
would give way. Senator Allaben re-
fused to give way and resumed the
reading of his speech. The Lieutenant
Governor, who was present, promptly
ascended the Presidents desk, displaced
Senator Smith from the chair, called
Senator Allaben to order, and said that
he resumed the Chair in view of the dis
Creditable scene then exhibited in the
Senate, and asked what was the pleas
ure of the Senate in the matter. Sena-
tor Cole moved that the Sergeant-at-
Arms do5forthwith remove the snoring
Senator from the room. Before that
motion could be put, another Senator
made motion to adjourn, which was
carried. In the meantime, several of the
messenger boys tried to awaken Senator
Fields, and the Senate adjourned and
the spectators dispersed leaving the
New York Senator sound asleep. and

Gentlemen Yours of the 9th inst.
is received, Under the United States en-
rollment act there are three classes of
exemption from military service.
lst. Of men drafted who have fur
nished substitutes
I'd. OF men drafted who have paid
Communication.
Sd. For serptce, Of men who have been
honorably discharged, after having
served two years.
The first class are exempted not for
service performed, but for having fur
nlShed man to serve. The second
class are not exempted for service per-
formed, but for having furnished money
to enable the Government to procure A
man to serve. The third class are ex.
empted for service performed. OF these
three classes, the militia law of this
State exempts from the performance of
militia duty only those who are exempt
by the laws of the United States " on
account of syvice." This clearly includes
the third class, and excludes the two
first classes.
The legislature by their act intended
that those men should be liable to per
form militia duty who never left the
State to serve the United States, but re-
mained at home in the prosecution of
their ordinary business, and either pro-
cured some other person to go, or paid
money with which to procure some 9TH
| er person to go and that these men
VINO DPtnuliu 10 A,,s-
the United States, and remained in the
service two years should be exempted.
The distinction is one which the legisla-
ture might well take, aud having taken
| 1t by the words of the statute, service
must be performed accordingly until
the statute is changed by the legislature
or construed differently by the supreme
court Very Respectfully,

BATTLE HOUSE,, Feb 25
MessyS. Editors propose to pay the
Confederate debt. Now don't smile ye
i" lords of creation at US poor women,
for although we have encouraged you
by our smiles, even while we suffered,
and given you the reins and urged you
to die for liberty, yet after all, you have
got US into a dreadful scrape; and now,
that the ship is drifting at random, we
venture, albeit through the veil of mod
esty, to speak. There are two million
women over twelve years of age in the
Confederacy-some heads have one and
some three TO four braids of hair-say
they will average two; therefore, there
are about four million braids, worth in
Europe $40 each in gold, which gives
forty millions in gold, or in Confederate
money over two hilliOns-nearly double
our entindebtedneSS. 4 ship loaded
with this precious traffic might make
hair breadth escapes, but angels would
guard it (by Gen. Maurys permission)
and land it safely at Hayre All Europe
would purchase at a speculative price.
Many braids-Offtring on the altar OF
liberty-would bring In Paris, labeled
with the names of the donors, thousands
at auction Our debt would be mere
circumstance to the amount realized :
and propose that every loyal woman
in the South send forthwith her hair,
tied with a ribbon and labeled with her
name to Madame Levert in Mobile.
Here's mine and two braids, Let every
patriotic womans head be shingled-r-

LISTERS AND TAx-PAYBRs.-The old
law required listers, in case they assessed
taxes upon any person to leave no.
tice at their abode or usual place Of
business, where appeals would be
heard. This law is now repealed,
and listers are strictly required to
post a public. notice of such hearing
and leave copy of the same with the
town clerk. Another section of the
new law requires all ax-payers to pre-
sent to the listers on or before the 10th
day of April, list of their real estate,
as well as their personal property own

of April, and to give notice to the list

the following story of his treatment of

times finds its limit -
The claimant urged his claims in soft,

in a way quite the reverse. He was not
pleased why, this paper does not say
you are entitled to the money" "No
sir, but it recommends my claim to your
consideration" "But, sir you do not
prove your claim" I'VE are loyal, sir"

they don't come here TO plague me.
