From the Rutland Courier, May 1871
What Next!

We desire to have friendly chat with
our towns people ofall parties and creeds.
and merely remind them that we have
been q resident of this town for thirty
four years have been elected as select
man Of the town for three years in sue
cession, and grand juror for two years in
succession, and without any opposition.
We have, also, been elected moderator
OF town meeting, in this town, some fif-
teen to twenty times, and often ussa,s-
5moaaly. Yet, Notwithstanding the con-
fidence put in US by our townspeople,
over and over again, and our desire to
be good and peaceable citizen, we were
arrested yesterday Thursday at one
o'clock p. N. on q warrant issued by
Chauncey X. Williams, Esq, on a COM
plant Of G. H. Joyce, Esq, Grand Juror,
on charge Of disturbing the town meet
ing held here on the 2Sth of April last
in assuming to be moderator OF thai
meeting, under the law passed by the
Legislature of this State in 1864. for the
special benefit Of the town Of Rutland.
This may be very convenient mode
for our political opponents to vent their
spite on our devoted head, by making
the State OF Vermont pay the expenses
Of prosecution while we have, in any
event, to pay our own.
It is the first time that John Cain has
been publicly charged with a criminal
act. We have the opportunity to enter
complaint against Mr.. Page for disturb
ing said meeting by assuming to be
its moderator but we forbear, and at
the same time remind our friends of
what we said q week or two ago, that
we "stR aee." Republican justices NAV
'bind US up"-Repnblican State Judges
may decide against us-but all combined
cannot or dare not kill us. So, gentle
tlemen, darkIes, ego ahead with your
old ark"

A YOUTHFUL TRAvELLER.-The st, Al
bans Messenger tells the following story:
4 young gentleman not quite five years
OF age, a son Of Rev. Mr.. Hatch of East
Berkshire, or the son with whom Mr..
Hatch lives, came down to st. Albans
yesterday with his father, and as he had
never seen the cars, concluded that he
had a fair opportunity and would do so.
He stayed down to the depot, saw q
train come in, the passengers get off, and
the way being clear, he got on and
when the train started on its way young
Mr. Hatch was one Of the passengers.
Conductor Irving came around, as con-
ductors will, for tickets, and asking the
young man where he wase going was
informed that the said young man did
not know. After further questions he
found out how the case stood, and
kindly interested himself in behalf Of
Master Hatch, and left him with a
switch tender on the road, to be returned
to st. Adams by the next train. He
came back as safely as he had gone,
much to the relief Of his father, who
had been looking about town in the
meantime anxiously for his truant son.

A NEW GRAIN ELEvAToR.-They are
putting up at Schenectady building for
grain elevator, one hundred feet by
sixty on the ground, ard eighty-tive
feet in height. The main purpose of the
elevator is to transfer grain from the
canal boats to the cars, in order to for
ward it to Boston and other points East
by way Of the Rutland & Burlington
and other connecting railroads, instead
of sending it to Albany and thence over
the roads between Albany and Boston.
This railway line from Boston to the
West via the Fitchburg, Cheshire, Rut-
land & Burlington, and Rensselaer, &
Saratoga roads is surely destined to be
the great thoroughfare of travel and
freight, and conviction OF this fact
among business men at Schenectady has
no doubt had something to do with the
building OF the elevator referred to.
The elevator building will be ready
for use about the first of June. The
Schenectady Daily Evening Star says:
"The intention of the company is, to
do much of the transferring business for
the New England States, in connection
with the Rensselaer, and Saratoga branch
of the Boston road, and the advantages
they offer over those of the Albany for
warders are very superior. Thus, there
is distance and time saved, and the
grade Of the road from here to Rutland
is much easier than that of the road
from Albany to Rutland. But, beyond
this, there are more locks between this
city and Albany, on the Erie canal than
on any other piece of the canal Of the
same distance-no less than twenty-five
in all-and of course the charges for
freights are higher. So, by transferring
their grain at this point, the dealers save
time and distance by railroad and canal,
and considerable amount in the way
of freight charges, while their property
is handled with quite as much safety
and alacrity as it would be by any trans
ferring enterprise in the world"

Now LOOK ON THIS PIcruRE.-we pre-
sent and commend the following picture
of Congressional harmony and fraternl-
ty for the especial benefit of those who
in their simplicity have supposed all the
discordant notes came from the Presi-
dent. The picture is drawn from that
well-known radical writer in the Boston
Traveller, who prepares the elaborate
weekly review Of that paper;
Old Thad. Stevens has made wasp.

the latter helped kill in the Senate the
Blaine amendment. Thrust be pleasing
to the President to see radical leaders
scalping each other. Congress is be.

''skrimmage" between Senators Howe
and Doolittle. All Of which amounts to
nothing but big noise, for Of Congress

public life generally, can sham! all

which, united, get up tolerable roar
but every one OF which, singly, is as

A CoLLIs1oN.-The Steamer Rip Van
Winkleof the New York and Troy line,
while coming up the Hudson river on
Wednesday morning met with serious
mishap. When nearly opposite the
city Of Hudson, between . and 8
O'Clock, her pilot heard a signal Civ
ing warning of the presence of a heavy
tow. As the tow approached, the ri.
lot of the rip" discovered two large
steamboats,, each having a tow attach
ed, coming down, and accordingly
steered for q course between the ap-
preaching tows. The other steamers
proved to be the America; and the
Syracuse" both from Albany and
bound for New York. As the America
proceeded on the larboard side of the
Grip" she struck her directly in front
Of the kitchen, tearing that away, also
the baggage room, the baggage falling
into the river, and nearly demolishing
the wheel house and wheel. The crash
was terrific, and for a moment the
greatest CONSERVATION prevailed on
board.-EVery passenger was soon on
the decks, anxiously inquiring the ma
ture Of the accident. The effect of the
collision fortunately terminated at the
furnace room. Had the furnaces been
upset, the consequences would have
been fearful.-Capt. Simmons and the
officers under his command are repre-
scented as having acted throughout
with great GOODNESS and sound iddg-
meut.
a ferry-boat arrived from Hudson
soon after the collision, and lowed the
Rip Van Wrinkle to Athens, where the
passengers landed. Meanwhile small
boats were sent after the missing bag
gage, large portion Of whiclwas re-
covered. Considerable amount offreight
was thrown overheard. But not a soul
on board was injured. The cook had
an exceedingly narrow escape, however.
He had left his apartments to see some
person, aud during his absence, his
room was completely demolished. The
hull OF the Rip was not in the least in
jured. She will be taken to New York
and repaired as soon as possible.

Of arbitrary arrests under, military au-
