writer of this paragraph introduced in
to Vermont journalism in the fall of
1845, and who for many years was
most successful editor has recently ar
rived at BrattieborO, his old home, from
New York, with a view Of spending the
summer there. Mr.. Harris has somehow
succeeded in so maintaining his residence
in the State, as to be elected to the
Senate twice. 1t will be reCOlleCted that
he once visited Utah, as Secretary Of that
Mormon kingdom, under appointment
from the President, but owing to lack
of interest in Mormon religion or some
thing else, his stay there was quite
brief. The thing evidently didn't pay.

remainder of his days in this "home OF
