Launch of the Valley Queen.

Editor Rutland Herald An enterprise
long projected but never before under
taken, has at length been realized in the
successful launch of the VALLEY Queen"
which took place in this village yester-
day afternoon. large Concourse of
people assembled upon the banks of the
creek about o'clock to- witness the
spectacle. 1t being the first event of the
kind that ever took place in Middlebury,
no small amount of interest was mani
tested by the citizens. The weather was
never more delightful, and the water
of the creek as smooth and placid as a
lake. The merry voices Of young and
old upon the banks added to the spirit
of the occasion, and altogether contri-
buted to make it one of the pleasantest
that we have ever known. The time
having arrived at which she was to be
launched, the signal was given and she
slid smoothly gracefully into the ele-
ment "like thing of life" The Ameri-
can flag rolling It's triumphant folds at
her Prov, impaired an air of beauty and
grandeur as she kissed the modest
waters of the creek, and in return as if
by way Of impulsive resentment for so
rash an act, received a shower of spray
upon her deck. Mr.. TicknOr of the Ad-
olson House superintendent Of the Nav
igation Co., then called for three cheers
for the successful launch Of the VALLEY
Queen" which were given with right
good will from either bank. Gov Slade
of this village being on board, was called
upon for speech. He responded by re-
ferring to the early method of naviga-
ton in Revolutionary time, comparing
the rude canoe Of the Red man with the
more elegant and convenient convey
ances Of modern times His remarks
were very apropos and interesting, as
might be expected. The success of the
enterprise is due for the most part to
Mr.. Ticknor, who spares no pains to do
everything possible for the pleasure and
comfort of his guests. To say that the
Otter Greek is beautiful stream is only
to confirm what is already known by all
who have ever been in the vicinity
through which it flows. We know of
nothing that offers more inducements
for pleasure than trip upon the Valley
Queen from here to Sutherland Falls
and back. We can only congratulate
the Steamboat Company on the pros
pective success of the whole enterprise,
and as for the Queen herself wish her
long life and undisputed sway in the
beautiful valley in which she is destined
to reign. M.D.c.

DOMESTIC ECoNoMY.-The venerable
DR.. Spafford of Groveland, N. H., makes
the following suggestions in the Haver-
hill Gazette
The cost Of hired woman or girl in
the house during the last seven years,
has been on an average at least $3.50 a
week and her board $3.50 more, and the
extra cost of the fuel and cooking, be-
tween its being used by prudent wife
or a servant who has no object or inter
est in saving, will make at least $50
more making the extra expense of keep
ing a maid or doing ones own work,
5000 year, or in twenty years, which
is kind of average time for families to
secure independence or break down,
amounts to $4,000, to be made or lost
by Just this one item of domestic econ
omy. But the writer and several of his
neighbors, have now kept house for fifty
years, in which time the sum would
amount to $4,000, sum which would
have swept off every vestige of property
any of us could ever pretend to possess,
and left us poor and destitute, or dead
long since with disappointment hard
ship and modification.
A great deal is SAID at the present Gay
about education, and thousands Of dol
lars of public money are expended to
induce parents to spend their lives and
estates to keep their daughters in the
parlor or at school, studying Latin, and
French, and algebra till they are eigh-
teen or twenty years Of age, when a
greater majority of them must become
the wives of farmers and mechanics of
moderate means, or remain forever sin
| gle. No man but millionaire, or great
capitalist, can afford to marry wife
who has been educated to think herself
a learned lady, to be always dressed for
the parlor, and above the cares and la
bors of the kitchen and every man of
sense who expects to work with head
or hands for q living, will select the
young lady for helpmate who can
cook and make butter and cheese and
clothes, rather than the one who has a
diploma, or is remarkable for her prof.
cheney in languages, mathematics and

ton which creates distsste for the la

TRIAL OF Misunderstanding after
noon there was trial Of moving ma
chimes on the Fair Grounds, which was
witnessed by large number of persons.
Five different machines were exhibit
ed, namely:
The Ohio Mower, with cutter bar in
the rear, by Mr.. Tubbs
The Buckeye No. 2, sometimes called
Buckeye Junior, of which Messrs. Howe
& Hall have the agency;
The Cayuga Chief, by Mr.. ]. Ingram,
the horses being driven by his son, 10
years Old
The Little Giant, by Mr. E. A. Smith,
and
The Hubbard Machine, with a rear
cutter bar, by Mr.. L. Billings.
A committee of nine gentlemen were
appointed, who then divided themselves
into sub committees Of three each, and
afterwards compared notes. The fol-
lowing are the names Of the committee
Henry Hayward, J. G. Griggs, Jas. Hun
toon, D. L. Dawley, Miner billiard, Geo.
Cheney, Willard Osgood, t. o. Gibson
and Amos Westcott.
After carefully examining the opera
ton of the machines in thick grass and
thin, they made up their award as fol-
lows
They placed the Buckeye, the Ohio
Mower and the Hubbard in the first
class. The price of each Of these ma
chimes is $135.
The Little Giant was pronounced Sec
ond Best. The price of this is 1925.
The Cayuga Chief, price $3.50, was
placed in the third class.
We may remark that in conversation
with farmers who have had large expe-
rience in the use of mowers, there
seemed to be quite variety of opinions
relative to certain arrangements, as for
instance whether it is best to have the
cutter bar in rear or in trOnt-also as
to the particular kind that was best
adapted to rough and stony ground.
We can only say that in our opinion any
| one of the mowers on the ground would
! be great deal better than none.

OUR SOLDIERS AFTER GoLD.-There is
every prospect that our returned soldiers
will turn their faces to the gold and sill
yer regions of Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
and the other Pacific Territories, instead
of to Mexico and it would be a much
wiser determination on their part. They
have had lighting enough for the pres
ent, and, of course, if they go to Mexico
they will have to carry on their soldier
trade for some time to come. In the
gold regions of the West, on the contra
ry, they can renew the occupations of
civil life and make comfortable for
tune by their industry within few
years The gold and silver territories
then are the places for the veterans who
have not any immediate occupation at
home.

The MILLION DOLLAR MAN The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune gives the following &C
count of an individual that has become
somewhat notorious
Gale, the author of an advertisement
offering reward for the assassination
of the president, arrived here this morn
ing per steamer from New Orleans, in
custody of Captain Mehafiey of the
First United States Infantry, and is now
imprisoned in the Old Capitol. 1t will
be recollected that some time in January
last an advertisement appeared In the
Selma (Ala.) Advertiser, which was cop,
led in the papers of the North, headed
zone million dollars wanted to have
peace by the first of March" The ad-
vertiser proposed for the sum named to
cause the lives of Abraham Lincoln
VIM. II. Seward and Andrew johnson
to be taken by the first of March then
ensuing, and offered himself to coatri-
$4,000 towards this patriotic purpose
Gale is very intelligent man, about as
years of age, hair in part gray, tall and
athletic. He is lawyer and argues
his case quite learnedly, takes exception
in advance to his being brought here for
trial, inasmuch as the courts of this dis
trict can have no jurisdiction of his
case. He says, admitting he caused the
advertisement, to be published, he has
not committed any offence known to the
law, and, therefore, must be acquitted,
if tried at all but he does not believe
he will be tried, unless it is sought to
connect him with Booth in the assassin
alton of Mr.. Lincoln. He proposes to
employ as counsel Hon. Reverdy John
son and James T. Brady. His residence
is Cahawba, Ala. A Jack Sheppardish dis
cription of the monster appears in
the Republican; Gale is coarse fea-
lures, well bronzed with the southern
climate; he is dressed in light gray
pants, butterHut colored coat, over
which is linen garment, and wears a
well-battered black stovepipe hat. Gale
appears to be ABOUT forty five years of
age and his gray hawk-like eyes, with
strongly marked crow-feet in their corn
ers, giving him the appearance Of a
shrewd, -blooded rascal.
