CAsTLEToN.- Editor Rutland Herald: 1t
has been a mournful time in Castleton
ever since the announcement OF the
Presidents death last Saturday. En-
blems of mourning have been suspend
ed from almost every building in the
village. Last Sunday the churches were
draped in deep mourning, and solemn
and impressive services were held in all
of them. Tuesday morning an inn
promptu meeting OF citizens was held at
the Banking Rooms, to consider upon
the propriety of holding appropriate
funeral ceremonies on Wednesday, be-
tween the hours OF one and three o'clock.
Hon. C. NJ. Willard was called to the
chair and B. W. Burt appointed secret
ary. Messrs. John Howe, G. S. Sher-
man, s. W. Preston and Charles Langdon
were appointed q committee Of arrange
ments. The committee recommended
the following programme which was
adopted and proceeded with as indicated
below:
At II o'clock, noon, procession was
formed in the Seminary Park, under the
direction of Major c. NJ. Willard, es-
corted by martial music, and the mill
tary company commanded by Lieut..
Gibson. Then came the trustees, teach
ers and pupils of the Seminary and citi-
zens generally, forming in all column
of some six or eight hundred persons.
They marched to the west end of Main
street, thence to the brick church, where
the exercises were conducted as follows
1st. Music" Hear our prayer" I'd.
Reading Scriptures by Rev. Mr.. Wade
8. Music-chant, "Silent Land. 4th.
Prayer, by Rev. Mr.. Mathewson. 5th.
Discourse by Rev. Mr.. Francis, which
was listened to with marked attention
by one of the largest congregations we
have seen convened in this church for
years, every available seat being occu-
pied by one who mourned the nations
| loss. 9th. Music" God bless our ma
tive land" 7th. Benediction. Then the
procession was reformed and proceeded
to the park, where the solemn ceremo-
nies were concluded, and all went their
various ways, cherishing high hopes OF
the glorious future that awaits the land,
yet feeling sad hearted that SO fearful a
tragedy had not only been committed
on the person of President Lincoln but
upon the whole Union. b. w. b.

How A Doctor CURED A BAD CASE
At Arlington, on the day the news of
President Lincoln's assassination was
received, an impious young man was re-
joicing on the hotel stoop at the death
of Mr.. Lincoln, whereupon physician
slipped into his office, returned with a
MASTER which he suddenly applied to
there until it stuck fast, and shut him up
for some time to come. This was "plas-
tering over treason" in a new way.

The Montreal Witness says:
But our danger will be imminent if
any of the scoundrels implicated in this
assassination (of President Lincoln)
make their escape to Lower Canada.
They would undoubtedly meet here
plenty Of influential friends. There
would be found here judges and iuries
to decide that they had used only a be-
ligerent right. Indeed it will argue q
strange Inconsistency if those papers
which have been foremost in screening
raiders, and have excused as a belliger-
ent right the assassination of an inno-
cent civilian at st. Adams, find fault
now with those concerned in the mur-
der of the Commander-in-Ch of the
federal armies"

FALL IN TIE PRICE OF CoAL.-The
New York Herald of the 2lst has the
following paragraph concerning the
great surplus of coal in the market. and
the reasons why present exhorbitant
prices are sustained:
There is some excitement in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania, caused by
the anticipated fall in the price Of fuel,
and the falling off in the usual number
of orders from this and other cities. 1t
appears that large number of cargOes
were sent to this city in expectation of
meeting q ready sale at former eXhor-
bitant prices; but the New York agents
refused to receive them at the shippers
figures and the aCCumulatiOnS are left
to stand to the account of the original
owners, and probably will SO remain un-
til a material reduction takes place.
Many Of the Collieries have been forced
to stop operations in consequence of a
determination of purchasers to no long
ersubmit to extortions, and unless prices
rule far below those at present demand
ed many more will find it necessary to
| suspend work. In the Pottsville, Pa.
! district the trade was never so dull at
! this season of the year in former years
as at present, and if it were not for the
| government demand it is stated that
there would be total stoppage The
shipments of coal over the Delaware,
Lackawana and Western Railroads have
fallen off already this year, over one
hundred and twenty-three thousand
tons"

THE RIGHr DooTRINR --- President
Johnson says
"I wish to discriminate between Grim
inals guilty of treason. There are well
educated intelligent traitors, who con-
cert schemes of treason, and urge others
and force numbers of others of ignorant
and deluded people to carry them out.
A discrimination should be exercised be-
tween these people. There should be q
stern, inheXible justice meted out to the
intelligent but guilty traitor, and lenien-
cy and mercy to those who have been
misguided and deluded and deceived"
