~ At Windsor, Canada, one day last
week the, wife of a member of the Roy
al Canadian Rifles, stationed at Sand
wich, stepped into dry goods store,
and while there, became suddenly afflct-
ed with an apploplectic fit. The propri-
etors of the store, not knowing who the
woman was, gave her in charge of Off
Ger Samuel Port, who conveyed her to
the lookup apparently under the appre-
hension that she was intoxicated. After
placing the woman there, it is said that
he threw pail of water upon her. Be
that as it may the officer locked her up,
but when the place was visited the
next morning. the woman was lying on
the floor, corpse. A coroners jury re-
sunaeo a verdict strongly duplicating
Otficer Port, consequently he was ar.
rested and held for trial at the ensuing
Assizes for manslaughter.

"To FOREIGNERS. The Courier has
been for several weeks appealing to
foreigners " hereabouts to get "natu-
rallied" We are happy to agree for
once with the Courier, and earnestly
second its appeal We believe that every
foreigner who comes to this country
with the intention of making his home
here, should, in return for the protec-
ton and privileges afforded him by our
government and laws, put himself in q
position to share, equally with the ma
tive born, all the burdens of citizen
ship. This war Is not over yet the
Courier says it will last four years more,
but we hope not; We may have more
calls for troops, more quotas to fill, and
it is right and desirable that all who re-
side here and are of the proper ages,
whether foreign or native born, should
take their equal chances in draft If
fOreign-born residents will only get
naturalized,n there will then certainly
be no question concerning their right"
to be drafted with other citizens Every
patriotically disposed foreign-born per-
son, every one who loves his adopted
country and enjoys the protection of its
laws, will be glad to take his equal
chance with others, in being called upon
to help defend the government. E
If this war is near its end, it will be
Immediately followed, (according to the
Courier, and we are not sure the Cou-
rier is not right,) by one or more foreign
wars, and all assistance which can be
rendered the government by naturalized
foreigners, will be needed in such wars.
1t will be seen, accordingly, that the
chance of shouldering a musket in the
service of his adopted country will
hardly be denied the naturalized citi-
zens. By ALI means, then, we strongly
second the Courier's appeal to patriotic
foreigners to lose no time in getting
their naturalization papers.

The Extra Session.

MONTPELIEHs NldTCn ~ 1000.
Editor Rutland Herald The proceedings
of the Extra Session of One Day will
reach you through other channels, and
therefore I will omit particular mention
of them. The best Of feeling prevailed
among the members, anu between the
two houses although the two branches
of the legislature were for a few mo-
ments at deadlock. The Senate pass
ed a bill ratifying the amendment, and
the House unanimously ratified by
Joint resolution. The latter however with
only two dissenting voices, finally pass
ed the Senate bill and thus the difficulty
was removed. Those who voted in the
negative were Mr.. Lynde of Williams
town and Mr.. Shof' of Brunswick who
are both Union men, and in favor OF the
amendment, but were opposed to ratify-
ing by bill instead of joint resolution.
As has already been stated, the brass
cannon which were drawn up near the
State House, ratified the ratification in a
manner that caused the ears to tingle
A very general disposition was manifest
ed to exclude all other business except
the one thing for which the session was
called. Mr.. Pratt Of Woodstock, made
vigorous effort to procure the repeal of
the act limiting the charter of the Frank
lin County Bank, but as Mr.. Nicholson
remarked the full consideration of the
question would require a long session,
and there would not be dickies enough
in Montpelier to supply the members.
On motion of Mr. Barlow the bill was
dismissed. The bill relating to the
"change of venue" is understood to
have been framed by the Chief Justice
of the Supreme Court and was intended
to remedy defect in the law Of last
session.
A specimen of the rations of Union
prisoners was exhibited to members by
Speaker Gardner and the same speci-
men " was afterwards placed in one of
the cases of minerals of the cabinet.
Those who may have the curiosity to
look for it will find it in the case direct
ly fronting the door of the cabinet on
the side towards the register containing
the names of visitors. 1t is a days ra-
t'on, and is a piece of corn and cob meal
bread about three and half inches long
andttwo inches in each of the other di-
mensions. 1t was brought home by
Charles D. Currier, of the Tenth Regi-
ment, who was prisoner from July 9.
1854, to Feb. %, 1865.
As there has been considerable said
about the expense of the extra session,
1t may be gratifying to know the exact
footing, which is herewith subjoined: I
Per diem and mileage of Senators and
Representatives, $5, ,948 so
Clerks, 175 90
Miscellaneous, 1873 90
Total, ...ss S6 300 so
This brings the item of expense q 1T
tie below the estimate of the Argus and
Patriot, which placed it at twenty-five
thousand dollars at the lowest calcula-
ton.
