TEsTMoNIAL.-President Labaree and
lady being about to leave Middlebury,
the ladies of that place, with few per-
sonal friends in other towns, have pre-
scented Mrs. Labaree the sum of $500, as
a testimonial of regard, and an express
sion of their appreciation of the interest
which she has manifested in the social
and religious welfare Of that commu-
nifty.

has ceased to flow, though it recently
yielded 500 barrels per day. The Phila-

SHAME - WHAT NEXT 3 The New

The ELECTIoN.-We give elsewhere
hand. They indicate what was general
ly expected, and what is pretty sure to
be the case ut every Vermont State
election next succeeding Presidential
election "a light vote, probably less
than three-fourths as large as that cast
in 1864. The relative loss Of the Opposi-
ton will however be as large as that o.
the Union party, so that in proportion
to the aggregate votes cast, the Union
majority this year bids fair to be as
large as last year, if not larger.
The Senate will be unanimously Union,
as it was last year, and the relative
strength Of parties will be about the
same in the House. Among the men,
bers of the House, already reported,
whose ability and experience are well
known, will be John Prout of Rutland
Merritt Clark OF Poultney John w.
Ste ;vart Of Middlebury, A. L. Miner of

military is ,,,N,nresented, so far as heard
from. by Gen. Wells OF Waterbury, Col.

Chester, Maj. Barstow of Shelburne,
etc.

being, and considering the fact that
there was no excitement to call out a
full VOTE the Unionists have every rea-
son to be satisfied with the result.

1@~ Since the fall Of Richmond up
wards of 100000 men, with all their reg
mental officers, have been mustered out,
disbanded, paid of, and every man con-
veyed to his own doorstep at the expense
OF the government, over the whole vast
expanse of our wide country. The mum
Der of troops now in the serviceis about
10000 1t is the desire of the presi-
dent to have this force reduced to about
$4,000 or $4,000. At present the bulk OF
the forces is concentrated in Texas on
the Rio Grande, and in the adjacent de-
partments Of Louisiana, under Gen. Can.
by of Mississippi, under Gen. Slocum
of Arkansas, under Gen, Reynolds; anC
of New Mexico and California, under
Gen. Mcdonald. In these four depart
ments there are not less than $4,000
troops, Of which fully one half are ne
groes, who will very soon be disbanded

ANECDOTE OF DANIEL EBsTER.-The
Worcester SPY, in noticing the death of
Branch Pierce, the hunter OF Plymouth
Woods. with whom Daniel Webster fire.
quently enfiaged in hunting, relates the
following interesting incident Of the de-
parted statesman:
ut was Mr.. WebsterS custom in the
hunting season to travel across from
Marshfield to the Plymouth Woods, and
meet the other huntsmen at the cabin
of Uncle Branch On one of these eX-
cursiOns he was Oyertaken by Il storm
which lasted all day. No other hunts
men appeared at the cabin, and solitary
sport was out of the question But Mr.
Webster who often made small occa-
sions great by his wonderful genius, was
not at loss for entertainment. Adapting
himself to the peculiar religious in
| clining Of his hosts, while they pursued
! their usual hOmely occupations, he read
| and repeated from memory multitude
| of psalms and hymns with which much
reading had made him familiar Hour
! after hour the great statesman paced
the floor Of the cabin kitchen, repeating
with his magnificent voice the inspired
psalms of David and Watts Rndying
hymns, with only Branch Piercean his
wife for listeners. No church or cathe-
dral ever Tesounded to grander or sweet
er music than that with which Daniel
Webster that day filed the cabin of the
hunter of Plymouth Woods and no au-
dience ever listened to his own triumph
ant elOquence with snch delight as it's
humble tenants listened to the familiar
psalms. which for them received new
inspiration as they rolled from his mar
Vicious lips"

Mourn WILMINGTON. - Edtt0r Ruttata
Herold Mount KillingtOu was visited
last Thursday, by party Of thirty-slX
ladies and gentlemen from Pittsford, un-
der the guidance of Hiram B. Chitten-
den, who succeeded in getting the entire
party to the summit of the mountain,
and whose urbanity added much to the
enjoyment Of all.
Mrs. Gould and daughter from Lock
port, N. Y, were with the party. Mrs.
G. is sixty four years old, and is probab
ly the oldest lady who has ever visited
the peak.
The route from Pittsford, by the way
of Mendon City, is an easy ONE the as

one hundred rods to the summit.
Nothing ofmusual interest occurred to
the party on their journey to and from the
peak, as it is Arrays interesting to meet,
and chat mlUn Inc intelligent people OF
Mendoza people well posted in all that
pertains to good order and sobriety.
From the spring to the summit the
path is rough and precipitous, tDut not
dangerous.
There is much to make this peak a
desirable location. From it is seen
"Fair freedoms chosen home,
