GRADED SCHOOLS.

This district at its annual school meet
ing voted to have q graded school during
the ensuing year, and also voted to build
n new school house, suitable to accoinlno-
date such school and appointed r, G.
Benton, L. H. Noyes, and Chas. Crane a
committee to draft plan, choose Site
count the cost and report at an adjourned
meeting at the expiration of thirty days
1t is expected that the committee will re-
port upon house the expense OF which
will not exceed $4,000, and inasmucb as
a new one is to be built, the report will
probably be adopted. The adjourned
meeting is to be held on Thursday eve
ming, April Goth, when full attendance
is desired. H.. f..
The village of Morrisville has also vot-
ed to have graded school, and have pro-
vided therefor. ...
There was little opposition to the
graded system adopted in Stowe, but at
the meeting it was, we Learn, voted down
by an almost unanimous majority,
The villages of johnson and Cambridge
Boro are also moving in the matter, and
will doubtless odopt this system
The system seems to be exceedingly
popular and successful, for 1t is being
generally adopted in districts where a
large number of scholars reside.

In this state Of things, we lay our case
before the liberal friends of the cause,
and ask them to I'll up the treasury. The
sum of $4,000 may seem large, but it is
not 1.-THE of what the liquor dealers are

ETY. of single religious denomination
each year within this State 1t is small
sum in view IF the work to be accomplish
cd, and of the agencies which the Com
mittee can employ for prosecuting it. 1t
is small in view of the present exigeneies
of the Temperance cause. Although its
friends are arousing themselves, it is not
to be forgotten that for some years the
tendencies have been wrong. The young

not speedily checked, will in few years
cover our State with Incorporate men.

felt. A wel.informed public man recent

THE FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THE
CAUSE OF TEMPERANCE.

To the friends Of temperance in Yer.
r,Ont: .s
The present state of the Treasury Of
our Society, makes it imperatisely neces-
gary for the Executive Committee to make
an urgent appeal for funds to aid in car
rying forward the work during the pres.
ent year. AT the Annual Meeting Of the
Society, In the month of December last, it
was Resolved: THAT we deem it practi.
cable and incumbent upon US, to raise
the sum Of $4,000, to be used according
to the discretion of the Executive Com.
mittee for the successful prosecution of
the Temperance Reform in our State"
Immediately after this meeting the Ex-
ecutive Committee was called together
to form their plans for the year. There
was no money in the Treasury, but the
Society evidently expected that a large
sum would be realized during the year.
If We waited until the funds should be
collected. the most favorable season of the
year would be lost by delay. The Com
mittec decided. therefore, 10 employ an
Agent Immediately. and to depend upon
the friends of the cause for the necessarv
funds. The Committee on Finance was
called together, and Committees appointed
in the different counties to collect the
money. H .sts.r... .. n
More than a quarter Of the year has
since passed. The success Of our efforts
for the promotion of the cause, has cen
very gratifying. A large number Of meet.
ings have been held. Town and Coun, Y
Societies have been organized. The peo.
pie, generally, show an increased interest
in the cause, and it seems plain that tho
present is the most favorable time 70
work. ..
But the Treasury has not been filled mn

THE LATE SENATOR FOOT.

By the death of Solomon Foot of Yer.
mot, who died in Washington on the
morning of March %, the Senate loses
it's Oldest and one of its most distinguished
members He was by reason of his con-
tinuous service fondly known as "thc ia
ther of the Senate" and had grown into
national esteem by his courtesy, his cour,
age, his truth-the extreme gentleness and
dignity of his life, No one was more
truly The Senator. 1t is nearly twenty.
five years since Solomon Foot. at the ripe
age of forty -one, and full of the honors
that Vermont could bestow, came into
public life He entered Congress in 49,
40, serving one term. In 1850 he was
chosen to the Senate, remaining until his
death He came upon the scene, as Cal.
houn, and Clay and Webster we're folding
the drapery of death around them. He
took decided part in the compromise
measures, and ever afterward was a con-
spicious and earnest friend of freedom.
He fought Nebraska, Lccomptop, and
Secession, with vigilance and energy, and
was always among those public men
whose fidelity could be trusted in every
trial. .."
Mr.. Foot was born in Vermont in l8
OF, graduated at Middlebury College, and
became member of the bar. For seve-
raj years, he was member of Vermont
Legislature, three times chosen Speaker
of the House, a member Of the Constitu
tionsl Convention. and Prosecuting Attor-
ney for Rutland County until he entered
Congress. During part Of the Thirty
sixth and for the whole of the Thirty
seventh Congress he was President pro
ten. of the Senate. AS presiding officer,
he was remarkable for bis thorough
knowledge Of parliamentary law.
: In the death Of Jacob Collamer and
Solomon Foot, the nation, as we'll as Yer
mont, has suffered great loss. But few
are left to link us with the past genera
ton Of statesmen. OF that rare and good
old school, we shall miss none more sadly
than Solomon Foot.

place . ....
AS o mark. of respect to the memory of
the deceased, the principal merchants

ternoon, and gathered at the depot in large
numbers. On the arrival of the train
containing the body an immense con
course of citizens were present, Who
formed procession and followed the
hearse containing the body through some
of the principal streets, to the United
States Court House, 10 which it now

BANKS AND TAXES 1t has been con
clasively settled by decision of the Su-
preme Court, that the shares of any and
every stakeholder in any National Bank
are subject 10 State and local taxation,
unaffected by the fact that part or all the
capital of said Bank is invested in Ma
tional obligations, Those obligations are
not locally taxable as ssch, but their use
as Bank capital is.
Hitherto, if we mistake not, owners of
shares in National Banks have felt justi-
fed in emitting from their return of prop
erty subject to taxation so much of their
capital invested in National Banks as they
presumed to be invested in National secu-
rites Thus, if Bank having capital
of $500, 900, had 100000 invested in
those securities, each stakeholder felt war
ranted in returning to the assessors but
one third of the amount of his stock.
This is justifable no longer. He must
return and pry taxes on every dollar of
his stock such being the authoritive ex-
position of the law of the land.
