ENTERPRISE OF A VERMoNTER.-The
Round Table in its last number contains
sketches of the publishers Of the River
Side Press. Mr.. Henry C. Houghton,
while earning his livelihood as practi-
cal printer, fitted himself for college
and graduated at the University of Yer
mont. He was first engaged as a re-
porter in the Boston Traveller Office.
In 1S49 he associated himself with Mr..
Charles Bolles, of Boston, at Cambridge.
After a time Mr.. Bolles withdrew, and
was succeeded by a Mr.. Hayward, in
1852. This partnership was of short
duration, and he was succeeded by Hon.
Edmund H. Bennett, "a son of the Hon.
Milo L. Bennett, of Burlington,) who
was ready to furnish the necessary cap
ital, to give him assistance, while the
practical management was in Mr..
Houghton's hands. The business having
been thoroughly established, the friend
ly assistance of Judge Bennett ended,
and from that time until 1864 Mr..
Houghton has conducted the business
alone. Therefore the enterprise OF the
establishment of the celebrated River
| Side Press" is due to the sons of Yer
mont.

with the following doubtful statement;

the present We content ourselves with
this one, that Mr., Doyle received more
votes than his opponent,-Bostoa jour-

The above reminds US OF a still better
joke perpetrated by Col, Green Of the
Boston Post. Green, many years ago,
was a candidate for Mayor, and was de-
feated. The day after the election the
Post announced that the people of Bos-
ton had decided that II was more impor-
tant to have a good editor than good
Mayor.
