We have not been surprised to see such
free-trade papers as the n. Y. Erening Post
and the n. Y. World engaged in this busi-
ness of Misrepresentation and small criti-
elsm, as they are animated in their course
by desire, IN some way, to bring protec-
tlonlsts and their logic into disfayor with
the people. But We were slightly astonish-
ed the other day TO find the Burlington
Times, in Its zeal for Mr.. Poland. copying
with evident approval one of these diatribes,
and another day, with more apparens
pleasure and relish, making another tree
rade editorial from the Post, condemnatory
Of Mr.. Morrill, and the tariff, interspersed
with remarks by the editor Of the TEs.es,
into a free-trade, anti-tarif political sand
wich ior the delectation of its readers. We
know the Times finds it difficult to discover
In any but free-trade papers out of the State
any condemnation or criticism Of Mr.. Nor
nils course in Congress, and this may fur
nish sort of an apology for its copying
from the Post but will il be good enough
hereafter, when using the Posts arguments,
TO explain that they are the arguments of
free-trader who believes Mr.. Morrill, is more
than any man responsible for the protective
character OF our pre-cnt tariff II 1t will
do this-and it ought to in common fair
ness-it would really be doing Mr. Morrill,
a service, inasmuch as the people of this
State would understand that the statesman
whom free-traders hate, is the statesman of
all others whom Vermont ought to keep in

DRowNED.-On Wednesday of last week
while the orphans of St. Joseph's Asylum
were spending the day in 81 FoOt's Woods
at picnic, three of their number strayed
away to the river with the purpose of gong
in bathing. The eldest of three, Eddie
Burns, lad of IL years. was the frs. to
jump into the river, bidding the other two
not to 90 in till he himself bad first tried it,
saying that if anV were to be drowned it
we're better that only one of them should 90
than all three should do so. The water
where be went in was u feet deep, and
after his first plunge, be did not again ap-
pear to his companions. Search was COM
menced within half an hour after his disap-
psaranee, and the river dragged for his BODY,
but to no purpose. On Friday and Satur-
day guns were fred over the river during the
day and evening, and on Sunday morning
the body of the boy was found by fisher
man, floating on the surface of the water
some four or FIVE miles from the spot where
be was drowned. A coroner's inquest was
held over the body, and it was Immediately
inferred. as 1t was already good deal de-
composed as well as lacerated, probably by
the graphing hooks, it being perfectly nude.

vailing impression on my mind, as | watched

place are not Raleighs IN grace or Sydneys
IL courtesy, and that most Of the Young wo-
men are temporarily or permanently deform-

The girl is naturally handsome. Her face is
bright, her eyes clear AMI expressive, her
head fairly shaped, and her form full, round
ed and yielding. But she has compressed
her waist until il is not more than two
thirds OF its natural size; her shoulders are
forced upward until they arc angular, high,
and Spreading her back is as stiff and as
ungraceiul and as fat as a shingle, and she
nounders through the waltz by main force,
her sklrts robbed Of flowing liGes by ungain-

GEN. SHERMAN IN BuRLINcToS.-MsjoP
General W. 7. SHERMAN, passed through here
Friday evening, on his way to Cansda. His
trip across the State from Hanover, yester
day, was marked by the demonstrations
which have everywhere during Ihs journey
shown the willingness of the people to hon.
or their heroes. At almost every station be
was greeted with cheers, and at South Roy
alton. Nortb6eld. Montpelier and Water
bury, there were large gatherings of the cit
liens who welcomed him with hearty greet
ings.
lie was accompanied by Governor Smyth
of New HAMPSHIRE, General Kirby Smith,
Judge Sherman Of Ohio. and a nephew and
two nieces Of the General, Hon. Onslow
Stearns of Concord, n. H., Gen. p. P Pit
kin, and others. Governor Dillingham; joined
the party at Waterbury, and accompanied
them to Burlington. At Essex Junction,
the members OF the Democratic County Con-
ventiOn were introduced to and shook hands
with the General.
In this city. an immense crowd of our cit
izens collected at the Central Depot A sa-
lutte of l3 guns was fred by Capt. VIM.
BrinsmaId, from brass Napoleon on the Bat
terry, as the train arrived-and tremendous
cheering greeted the Hero of Atlanta, as he
left the Vt. Central Directors Car, which had
been appropriated for the use of the party.
He hastened at once to the steamer United
States, Capt. Anderson, which was lying al
the wharf, followed by the multitude, who
OF course clamOred loudly for speech. In
response to persistent calls, Gen. Sherman
(who is younger and better looking man
than most of his pictures represent him to
be) appeared on the promenade deck, and
declining to make speech" addressed 9
few familiar words to the crowd, thanking
them for the reception given him, saying
that it was best for men in bis position NOS
to do too much talking, and that by saying
nothing he should be sure to avoid unwise
speeches. All was now well with the
Country and he hoped it would remain 30.
If the Vermonters would take care of Lake
Champlain, he would look after the Miseis-
sippi; and If he could ever do anything for
the people of Vermont, they would have
only to call on him.
With sucn pleasant remarks, he bowed
his farewell and went below. followed by
abundant cheering and applause. A Anumber
of our citizens accompanied him as far %
Plattsburgh, where be had a hearty greet
ing. The General goes to Montreal and
Quebec and thence home by way of Niagara.
