EARLY SETTLgRs IN CAsTLEr0y Edit9r
Rte5kGnd Herald OF the fourth genera
ton Of the Bird family was Amos son of
Joseph. He is spoken of as 8 man of
great.enterprise and was the leader in
the beginning of the settlement of the
town OF Castleton. The town was vet
in its infancy when he was suddenly re-
moved by death, leaving its interests to
be cared for by other pioneer settlers
bearing liz many respects his own char
acter. he was buried mile and half
west Of Castleton Village near by what
is now known as Castleton Corners. and
on the banks of the stream that was
then known as Bird Greek. In the gaH
OF 1912 his remains were taken I'D and
deposited in the village burying ground.
The exercises attending the removal were
quite imposing and called together a
great concourse OF people froEl this and
other towns in the vicinity besides nu-
meroUs relatives aud friends from Con-
necticut. Among them was Mr.. Farms,
worth, formerly Lieut. Governor &C that
State, who contributed City dollars tow
ards the purchase OF monument placed
over mis- head, on which are the following
Inscriptions:
In front:
Erected Oct. 18th, 1912, TO the mem.
DRY of Col. Amos Bird, by citizens Of
Castleton and friends, as q tribute of re-
spect to worthy man."
Born at Salisbury, Ct, and died Sent.
10th, 1772, aged 80 years.

FINANCIAL CONDITION OF THE EURO-
PEAN BELMGERENTs.-N used TO
think that success in a battle attended
the side that had the heaviest artillery {;
but in q war like that which now threat
ems Europe the final victory will depend
in no small degree on the respective
ability of the belligerent parties TO pay
their bills. And as regards finances all
the three principal contestants are badly
enough of, though Austria is the most
desperate. Her debt is estimated at the
enormous sum of 81 200, 100000, which
has been steadily built up during the
last eighteen years, loan following
swiftly upon loan, while all the time the
taxes have been increased so that the
annual revenue is now S200000,09O.
The interest on the debt absorbs so
much of this revenue that it will be inl-
possible to maintain AustriaS present
armament long with the balance, and as
her credit is about gone she must soon
become bankrupt if the war goes on.
Before Count Bismarks administration
in Prussia the funded debt was only
about $3.50 100000, and the annual ex-
penditures $l20000,000. But Bsmark
has already expended the savings of
former ministers; an army of 500 600
men will swell the expenses immensely
and already before the war has actually
begun Prussian paper money is at dis
count, and the Prussian national bank
has raised it's discount rate to IL per
cent. The Italian debt is 100000, 000,
and the erentes, which in 1851 were
quoted at'24, at present are quoted at 81 ..
The Italian government has for years
been increasing its army without en-
gaging in war, and has been contrbu-
ting largely to railroads and other inter
nal Improvements. Its paper money is
already quoted at 20 per cent. discount.
Altogether it would seem to be a neces-
sity of all the belligerents TO make the
war a short and sharp one. In that
case, val0r and patriotism might decide
the case. Otherwise the party with the
longest purse or the best credit at the
Rothschilds, i6 likely to win.-Sprnqfeld
Republican.

DIsGUsTED. - William Chappell, the
"agent Of A. Ward, took the money of
those who wished to hear "the celebra,
ted lecturer and humorst," at Town
Hall last night, and then left small
boy in charge and went after "Artemus. g"
But "Artemus" did not appear before the
audience. One supposition is that Arte-
mus looked in at the door and was so
Disguised with the appearance of the
Rutland Town Hall that he refused to
speak his piece" in it. There is moth
ing improbable in this, so far as the hall
is concerned. Another supposition is
that "Artemus" suddenly changed his
boarding place and Chappell failed to
find him. What the truth is will be
better known, perhaps, when Chappell
gets back. "Did you hear Artemus"?

who asserted dominion In Castleton. lie
was the first possessor of the soil for CIV
illzation, and the first called TO resign 1t,
leaving the fruits of his bold enterprise
TO others.
On the East side;
"The mortal remains of Col. Bird were
first inferred by his direction near his
dwelling in the Valley of Bird Creek,
and after several years, disinterred and
here entombed to wait the summons
that wakes the dead
In this connection 1t might be added
that the settlement of the town was con-
tinued by Col. Noah Lee who married
Birds niece. Lee was q soldier during
the entire war OF the revolution and
acted well his part with Ethan Allen,
1t is said that he raised company o.!
Green Mountain Boys; that he partici-
pated in several hard fought battles,
among them that of Trenton, Princeton
and Germantown, and had the patriotic
satisfaction of being a locker on at the
surrender of CORVALLIS. He continued
a respected and honored citizen of Cas-
Teton until the time OF his death, which
occurred in 1870 at the ripe old age o.
q6 years. He was buried with military
honors, the Clarendon Guards doing the
duty under the command Of Captain
Wing.
Lieut. Hall was comrade in arms
with Lee and about the same age. He
resided in town until his death which
took place soon after Lee died. They
were always intimate friends as revolu-
tionary heroes are apt TO be. Hall was
buried with military honors, the same
company doing duty, commanded by
Capt. Carpenter.
Albert N. Holt represented that branch
of the Holt family residing iu this town
at the great family gathering recently
at Stamford, Conn The meeting was
held in a large church and continued
two days. He represents it ii, having
been a glorious time in the annals Of this
immense family, and that its festivities
were enjoyed by about eight hundred
Hoits with their descendants The
Hoits have been among the best :ami-
lies in CastIeton for nearly hundred
years.
OUR CHURCH AND ORGAN.
We think If our organ and church
could talk they would reply TO the IN
called for attack upon them from your
correspondent of last week on The
Early Days Of Castleton" Suppose
there are slight defects on what We're
once pure white walls, and what If the
organ is little out Of tune, which by
the way is no fault of the instrument,
is it necessary that these facts should be
hYo!ded that your readers may be advised
of it. We are aware that we have not
got Trinity or Plymouth church or Or

videG with such institutions as any
other village Of our dimensions either

FRUIrs OF FAST DRIvING.-Yesterday
forenoon, while Rev. d. w, Dayton was
standing on the corner of Merchants
Row and Center street, in conversation
with DR.. Won Week, couple of horses
driven by two young men named Walker
and Baird, rounded the corner at a fu-
rious rate, and Mr., Dayton, not noticing
them until they were nearly upon him,
in attempting to get out of the way of
one of them was knocked down and run
over by the other, and received several
severe injuries. He was taken to the
HERALD Bookstore, where he remained
partially insensible for some time, but
medical assistance being called, and pro-
per restoratives administered, he recov-
cred sufficiently to be carried TO his resi-
dence Mr.. D, was the chaplain APP
pointed to conduct the religious eXerci-
SEES in the celebration to-day, and we re-
greet to learn that his injuries are OF such
nature as to probably ncapacitate him
for the performance of those duties.
Fast driving is becoming a matter OF
too common occurrence in our streets,
and we call upon the authorities to en-
force the village ordinance against this
dangerous practice to life and limb.

EVENING SESSION.

CRESCENT OFFICE No "a CAMP STREET,
Friday Evening, Oct. 49, 1865.
CoTToN-The market was brought to a stand
still this morning by the announcement that pri-
vate cable dispatch had been received, quoting
I'D. y ID. decline in rates of cotton at Liverpool
yesterday, and despite the fact that the report
from the other side has not up to the present
writing been confirmed, it had the effect,
nevertheless, to cause an almost total
suspension of operations, and the
market to-day has been very nearly at a stand
still throughout. Buyers and brokers, elated by
the intelligence from Europe and New York. the
latter also being discouraging for holders, calcu-
lated upon very marked decline here, and, in
fact, most brokers', though apparently willing to
buy, and somewhat active in examining lists,
especially in the early part of the day, could not
be induced to offer better than 293c. ~ ID. under
previous ruling prices, which resulted only in a
general covering up of samples on the part of
factors. The sales to-day amounted to barely $50
bales, and the discrepancy in the views of bro
kers and factors on the question of prices is so
great that we are compelled to omit quotations,
as no reliable figures can be given for any CLASH
fication in the present unsettled condition of the
market. The total sales for the week amount to
49, $50 bales against 500 bales last week and
10000 the week previous. The net receipts for
the week have been l6,507 bales against II, 94l
bales last week. and 1895 bales the week previous.
The exports for the week amounted to II $50
bales against 3789 bales last week, and 1922
bales the week previous; and the stock on hand
and on shipboard not cleared, this evening, is
94,506 bales, against 87,946 bales last week,
and 1882 bales at the close of the previous
week. The exports for the week comprised
1851 bales for New York, 1859 for Boston, 1906 for
Philadelphia, and 534 for Liverpool.

A fearful whisper comes from the East.
OF raging monster, gaunt and grim,
Making of men q vampire feast,
Highest and lowest, greatest and least
And all he ends are food for himi
Aud ever westward he holds his way,
Marching with slow, insidious tread;
His victims struggle, and weep, and pray,
And naught can bis terrible hunger stay
Till bis path IL strewn with thousand deadI
Squalor he loves, aud filth and crime;
What shall we do to avert his wrath ?
Can We not purge our city in time,
With charcoal, water, and sprinkled lime,
And leave no place for bis hideous PATH
Or, will our rulers no danger know,
Till a. our door King Cholera haits,
While dead-carts hther and thithsr 20,
And the thick air shu dders with cries ofwoe,
And everywhere cape the burial.vaults
Take heed of tho warning now-take heed,
While still there is time our homes to save
For everywhere ripens the poisonous seed
On which King Cholera loves to feed,
That our city may be but s. mighty gravel
Cleanse, O, Fathers these gntters and styes'
Fostering kennels and filthy slams,
