Mr.. Henry L. Sweetser announces
that he shall coon resume the publication
OF the Round Table. 1t will be remember
ed that this enterprise was suspended
about year since, with the promise
that on the return of peace it should be
resumed. That time has come and the

lean journalism. Among men of letters
generally, there was felt deep regret
that it was necessary, even to suspend a
journal so much needed, and so admir-
ably designed TO conserve the good and
eradicate the bad of American Literature,
and to infuse into it new strength and
purity.
Mr.. Sweetser carries with this enter
prise a large experience in journalism,

it claims will unquestionablY be attained.

Agricultural College.

The matter of tho Agricultural College
is not asleep. Live men in various parts
of the state are at work and there is rea-
son to hope that the 100000 will be
soon raised and the question settled as to
where it is TO be located. 1t seems prob
able, now, that Rutland will he the sue
cessful contestant for the prize. 1t is the
greatest prize that has ever been offered
TO any locality in this state, and so valu-
able an offer will probably never, for gen.
erations, be presented again.
This is bound to be the pet institution
OF the state and when once established
money will not be wanting for its success.
1t will he an institution that will grow in
value to the state, and especially TO the
section in which il is located, and will add
not a little to the permanent value of real
estate. We have reason to speak with
entire confidence, when we say that were
there not now a college in Addison Co,
the 100000 would very soon be present
ed to the Boarl and probably the location
question settled at once. Indeed, some of
the weathicst and most enterprising unen
in the county are not willing, even as it
is, to let the college be located elsewhere
without putting in our claim to be the
best locality.

e5- We have received from Ticknor &
Fields the initial volume of Companion
Poets for the people. We can do no
better in speaking of this enterprise than
to give the words of the publisher.
"The series of Companion Poets for
the People, of which the present is the
initial volume, has been begun by Tick
nor & Fields, to answer an almost univer-
raj demand for cheap literature of high
class. The plan Of the series is to present
the choicest and most deservedly popular
poems of the best poets in tasteful and
elegant style, and at the same time at a
price so low as TO bring the series within
the reach ofevery household. The pres
ent volume contains all Mr.. Longfellow's
shorter poems of domestic nature, with
illustrations by leading English artists.
The next volume, SO Songs for all Seal
sons" (Which will be issued June Is, J
will contain the exquisite lyrics and
songs which are scattered through the
pages OF 1ennyson. Other volumes will
follow, according TO the announcement
on the cover, to which the publishers in
yite the attention of all into whose hands
this volume may fall
The volume before us contains 9G
pages, and is beautifully illustrated. We

COUNTY CONVENTION.

The annual Republican County Con-
vention, for this County occurs on We'd
nesday of next week, and we shall expect
as usual, a delegation from most, and prob
ably all, the towns of the county. 1t
would be gratifying to see very full at
tendance. Unless the convention shall
do some exceedingly unwise thing, there
is hardly room to doubt that the nominees
of the convention will be the choice Of
the people at the September election.
Therefore, nearly all the Importance Of
that election, 50 far as county officers is
coaccrned, pertains to the convention.
According to the 'timo honored Gus
tom" we must have new senator and a
new judge in this, Addison Dist. BY
the way, there should, as soon as con-
venient, be new deal or some sort of
shit, SO that both changes will not occur

apt to contine the interest in the conven-
ion to that part of the county.
We do not observe that any consider
able interest is felt in the convention. We
are informed that there will be two or
three candidates for the senate, and they
may be more numerous Up to this
time we hear no one being urged for ju-
,licial honors, The offices of Sheriff and
States Attorney are not understood to
be subject to the two years rule, and so
far as custom makes rules they can hope
for longer time; and, 1t is competent
to change where the general welfare may
be subserved, be the time short or long.
We do not know that there is new
man named for the office Of Sheriff, and
we do not know that any body will object
incumbents keeping it Zone year more
The offi,e of States Attorney will prob
ably be sought after by a new aspirant,
though we think the present incumbent
has filled the Office with great acceptance
and will probably DO, at least as well,
another year if reelected. However,
we suppose the young lawyers must each
have his turn with this office. We hear
Of no call for change in the Probate Of
fees and presume the present judges will
be retained, if they are willing, and
without opposition.
But, come up next Wednesday, 9nd

men every time, and have your faces
fully set against all hocus- pocus that is
designed to fastcn on us incompetent men

Yours truly,
+. w. OLMsrEAD.

....At a meeting of the Chi Psi So
ciety held June l2th,-the following
Reolutions upon the death of Capt. Henry
Herbert-6th Reg, u. S. Colored Troops
and formerly member of Mlddlebury
College, were read and adopted.
JVhereas, The sad intelligence of the decease
of Capt Henry Herbert, has draped our shrines
in mourning and filed our hearts with grief
that one so worthy and full OF promise-should
be so suddenly removed from our more imme-
date fellowship and the busy scenes of an ac-
tive and useful life-and
Hhereas, In accordance with previous cust
tom and the respect we feel for the memory of
him whose interests were our interests in a
Bond of fraternal union and regard-it is be-
coming to give some expression to that respect
in our own behalf and offer that degree Of con-
doence which may be possible-to the friends
of the deceased
Therefore Resolpe4, That in the death of
Capt Herbert we sustain the loss of highly
esteemed and honored brother-a kind and
agreeable companion and friend-whose life
and character were embellished by many noble
private vrtues-whose natural aiability and
afiectionate regard for the welfare fothers sur
rounded him with many hrm and lasting
friends-and whose uneompromising sense of
personal honor accompanied with dignihed
manliness of disposition and purpose secured
for him the unqualified respect ofall who knew
him.
Resolrel, That we as Society pledge and
extend our united sympathy to the relatives
and friends of the misunderstanding them
that while they-from more vivid sense OF
tbeir loss-may be more deeply afflicted than
we-yct they cannot be more sensible of his
many virtues or more ready to believe that a
life that has shone with such steady lustre
here will continue its brightness and purity be-
You'd the stars.
Resolped, That these resolutions be publish
cd in the Middlebury Register-also that a
copy of the same be transmitted to the flend'
of the deceased.

NOTES of THIRD SERIES OF 7.BOs NOW
RBADY.-The demand for the Second
Series of the 7-3O Notes was 80 great
that the Treasury Department was un-
abld to print them with sufficient rapid
ity 10 fill the orders. II will be remem-
bered that hundred millions were SUBJ
scribed and paid for in single week.
Ihf printing presses have finally sur
mounted the difficulty, and on Wednes-
day, June 9Th, the deliveries of the Third
Series commenced, and will be continued
wFh the same promptness tina, marked
the supply Of the notes of the first and
second series. 1t has been this intcrrup-
ton OF delivery AT the time of subscrip-
ton which has given an appearance of n
falling oil IN the popular taking of the
lodn,-tho great body of small takers
beng unwilling to pay their money unless
they receive their notes right in hand, to
carry home. 1t is expected that after
this week the daily subscriptions to the
?-3Os will run up into millions. as thew
will undoubtedly be stimulated by tho
opening of the farmers wool markets
East and West. 1t is not at all likely
that the Government will ever again offer
so desirable security as these notes, and
about Two hundred millions only remain
TO be taken.
With the close of the war the national
expenses will be vastly reduced. and
investors must look for sharp reduction
in the rate of interest as soon as the
present loans become due, and can be
paid OIL. There is no reason WHY the
United States credit for money should
ever again fall below its credit for cour-
age The same spirit that preserved the
geographical integrity Of the country will
place ITS pecuniary integrity on par
with that of the mosl favored nations
and that will represent rate of interest
under rather than over four per cent.
