And lead at times, in a sad sweet dream,
To the babbling of that little stream
And sit in a vision ed autumn still.

LEGISLATION IN VERMoNT-The Yer

changed the distribution Of the school funds,
by which one-third. instead of one-fourth, az
heretofore, will be divided equally between
the common school districts and the remain
der in proportion to the average daily at
tendance of scholars. A law was passed
allowing parties in court to testify in their
own behalf An act was passed limiting
tie liability of the state banks NOW being
closed under the operation of the national
laws for the redemption CT their currency
to the period Of one year, commencing from
the publication Of due notice, which publ
cation must continue through the year
The salaries of the judges of the Supreme
Court were increased by $500, making them
81. 500. All efforts to increase the efficien-
cy Of the militia were unavailiny.

the revival or frater1al relations the complete
obliteration Of our past differences ard the in
