IMPROVEMENTS IN RUTLAND. - The
work OF improving the streets, side
walks and drainage in and about the
Village OF Rutland under the direction of
The Village Trustees, is progressing finely
and with commendable speed. Mr.. A..
c. Bates, one Of the Trustees, takes hold
of the matter with the zeal and energy
of one who has his whole heart in the
work. Men are now at work on Mer-
chants Row, and are preparing to put
down sidewalks from opposite the Gen.
trial House out as far as the Bardwell
House, to be Of slate or marble. Cutters
paved with stone are to be extended
along the sidewalks on both sides of
the street, its entire length, from the
Bardwell House to West Street, should
the funds now in the hands of the Trus-
tees hold out, which we certainly hope
may be the case. Drains are to be ex-
tended from the cutters on each side to
the main sewer leading through the
centre Of the street--a very important
item, by the way. -
A good work has been done on Green
Street-it having been graded with
stone and gravel. The old turnpike has
been graded up and improved from Main
Street out half a mile to the Village
limits, and deep hollow filed up.
"Huntoon HILL" on Main Street, leading
toward the Fair Ground, has been great
~ improved. bitches have been cleared
out, and the road-bed rounded and
smoothed, the stones taken out, &c.
Workmen have commenced improving
the other end of Main Street-are tax
ing out stone opposite J. NJ. Halls DWELL
ing, and gravelling the street, which is to
be continued to the Huntoon hill On the
South.
In Nebraska, also, near Whitcomb's
and Hewitt's, the road has been turn
piked-cleared Of stone, t3lled up and

rounded off-the bitches all cleaned out,
stumps taken up and good sidewalk
put down on one side. Several other
places in Nebraska have been repaired.
Valuable improvements have also been
made on West Street, near the Methodist
church.
We understand the Trustees think a
night-watch should be appointed, as
windows have recently been broken by
stones thrown from the streets, people
while peacefully walking along have
been Knocked down, and property dam
aged in various ways by disorderly, law
less persons. We also hear that the
Trustees intend TO enforce the existing
bylaws, so far as to require billiard sa-
looms and eating-houses to be closed by
eleven o'clock at night, These sugges-
tions seem just and proper in themselves,
and we hope they will be successfully
carried out-that an efficient night
watch may be appointed, and law and
order, peace and prosperity may abound,
Some moral forces should now be put
forth, while the spirit OF physical i'm
provement is alive among us. Let the
work be thorough

GEN. SCoTT's RECEPTION BY TIL" SPLITS. -
AT g spiritualist meeting in New
Jersey on Sunday, one of the mediums,
Miss Bullene, gave the following &C
count OF the reception Of Gen. Scott in
the spirit land
Gen. Scott was received by all the
spirits en- ,nnsse. AT his right stood
Washington. Behind him was We'll
lington the Irou Duke. At his left ap-
peared the late Gar Of Russia. Before
him, with folded arms, Napoleon was
stationed as the representative of France.
Jefferson, Madison, Taylor, Lincoln and
the other deceased Presidents OF this Re-
public, whose names Miss Bulene had
clearly forgotten, acted as the reception
committee. All the dead heroes of the
recent wal were on duty, with many
thousands of other famous people whom
Miss Bullene would not name. The re-
ception ceremony was exceedingly
modest. A little child whom the Gen.
eral had dearly loved was deputed to
present him with a crown of laurel, and
and as it was placed upon the heros
head there were EXPLANATIONS from the
vast throug."

DEDICATION OF THE VERMONT REFORM
SCHOOL State Reform school was
dedicated at Waterbury on Thursday.
A number OF visitors, principally from
the Western side of the State, We're pres
ent. Unable to be present ourselves, we
condense the following account from the
Burlington Times report. The building
is large and commodious, unpretentious
in outward appearance or internal ar
rangements, but eminently convenient
and well arranged. The sleeping apart
ments are furnished, some with iron
bedsteads, others with two or more tiers
Of wooden spring hunks. The school
room, though not very large, will evil
IDENTIFY well and healthily accommodate
seventy-fye or more scholars. The din
ing room, kitchen, and in fact all the
apartments are well suited for their
purposes. The grounds consist of sew
eral acres Of good, arabic land, and the
intention of the Commissioners is to en-
ploy the boys principally in agricultural
labor.
The dedicatory exercises took place
at 10 II o'clock, A. NJ, in the Congre-
gational Church, Gov. Dillingham; pre-
siding. After excellent singing by the
choir, and prayer by Rev. Mr.. Mckenzie,
of Waterbury, Gov. Dillingham;, after
few happy remarks, introduced j. S.
Adams, Esq, of Burlington, as the ora
tor Of the occasion. Among other
things Mr.. Adams said:
The Governor and Legislature of 1866
will live forever in the hearts of our
people. They did a great deal for the
general cause of Education, but above
all they incorporated the State Reform
School. Let US look at the policy. The
movement is prompted first by kindness
and charity, but also by regard for the
very safety of the State. Eight or ten
persons have been sentenced to death in
this State in five years past. The iails
have been filed.
Crime starts mainly in early life, and
sent at youthful age to State Prison,
nine out Of ten graduate from there
adopts in crime. There has been q
most astonishing number of young
criminals. Now, then, what better prae-
teal thing can the State do than to take
these young children aud reform them?
Both economy and justice demand it.
What should be the character of the
School? Wemust give the poor estrays
q good home influence. We have TO
struggle against our inexperience in
such institutions as this, but let US per-
severe. We have an unpretending, com
modious and well regulated building.
Let us not complicate the thing, but
keep it plain and simple. The School is
for correction, discipline and improve
ment
Next after sequestering the children
we must give them employment. Idle
ness and vacuity OF mind are great

Pass GE or Tus CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENTs THE tlousE,-The reconstruc-
ton a. ndmenl- to the Constitution, as
they passed the senate, were called up in
the House on Wednesday by Mr.. Ste
Vens, who announced that he should
move the previous question Mt $50 o.
clock. The Washington correspondent
Of the New York Times says
Fifteen-minute speeches were then de-
cided upon, and half of the time given
to the Democrats, who parceled it out
to suit themselves. 1t was divided
among Messrs. Rogers of New Jersey,
Finck OF Ohio, and Harding OF Ken
lucky, who RECALLED the House with the
usual Democrat platitudes of the rights
Of rebels, and the propriety of letting
treason 80 unpublished. On the other
side, Messrs. Henderson of Oregon, and
Spalding OF Ohio, made brief speeches,
when Mr.. Stevens rose to close the de-
bate. He has been quite i'll at his lodg-
inss for some days, and appeared more
feeble than usual as he rose to speak.
His speech was couched in solemn and
dignifled language. He submitted the
Joint resolution to the call of the roll,
w5ereupon it was agreed to by yeas 100,
nays 81, there being 32 members absent.
1t is rather an important fact that every
member OF the House elected on the
Union party issue, who was present,
voted for the resolution, including Green
Clay Smith of Kentucky, Phelps of Ma
ryland, and Latham and Whaley of West
Virginia. The Union party presented,
therefore, more solid front on this
question than at any time before during
the present session.

that one of the most serious drawbacks exist

daily appear at the counters of the merchants
of this city, from Boise, Ruby, Silver and Ida

really not worth twenty FIVE cents on the dol

no doubt, the holders of this kind of paper,
