The rules which regulate the laying

In the making Of sewers, that Is no part

The essential point OF difference is, that

should be OF impervious glazed earthen.
ware, and their joints should be securely
cemented, to present the escape Of the
sewerage, which 1t is their province to
remove, not to distribute. Drains from
houses, which need not be more than
three or four inches Ia diameter, should
be of the same material, and should dis
charge with considerable inclination
into the pipes, being connected with a
curving branch, directing the fluid to-
wards the outlet.
In laying sewer, it is customary to
Insert pipe with branch opposite
each house, or probable site of a house.
1t is important that, in towns not sup
piled with water-works, measures be
taken to prevent the admission of too
much solid matter in the drainage of
houses. Water being the motive power
for the removal of the solid parts of the
sewerage, unless there be public sup

Commenting upon the treatment this
tablet has received, the same writer
says:
"In this connection, though the story
or legend Of Servius Tulliss is familiar
to every reader, 1t will be Interesting to
note the parallel between the old Roman
King and President Lincoln. The King
was of humble origin. He was kind to
the poor, heartily espoused the cause OF
the masses, strove constantly to elevate
them, and especially to confer upon
them the right to vote. Upon denounc.
ing his determination to introduce a
freer form of government, he was as.
sassinated by his son-in-law who, unit
ing with the disatiected senators, was
able TO bid defiance to the resentment of
his subjects. The memory of Servius
lived long among the common people,
their veneration for him constantly In.
creasing, and the usurper with his fol-
lowers lived in daily fear lest the people
should rise in power and restore the
laws Of the martyr. From all this the
full beauty of the inscription, and the
character of the sentiment which
prompted the gift, will appear, and stern
voices will speak to all from out that
past of 2iO0 years in condemnation of
Andrew Johnson's treatment of Mr.. Lin
coins memory"

THE AsCUTNEYvILLR MURDERER.--A
letter from Ascutneyyille, dated the 9th
inst, from the officer who had Williams,
the alleged murderer, in charge, says
there was great excitement when he re-
moved the prisoner from the hall where
he was examined. He waited more than
an hour to let the crowd disperse, but
they did not go. AS he came down
stairs with the prisoner to take the train
to Windsor, the crowd rushed towards
the carriage and some one threw rope
wi tn slip moose at its end at the priso-
ner, hoping to Assoc him, but a man by
his side warded it off. Finally the team
started, the crowd following and halloo-
ing chang him !" chang him" He,
however, succeeded in getting away
from the crowd, and lodged the prisoner
in the State prison at Windsor. On
Saturday he was taken to Woodstock
and delivered to the High Sheriff OF the
country, who took him to Rutland for
safe keeping.

THE ROMAN MEMORIAL TABLET TO Pres.
IDEYT LINCOLN. The recent develop.
ments have brought to light the fact
that the memorial tablet to President
Lincoln, sent hither by citizens of Rome
in 1855, has been placed in a subter-
ranean cell in the cellar of the White
House, and Is was only by accident that
the strange disclosure was made. The
following concerning the tablet may not
be uninteresting at this time. The
stone is a species Of red sandstone, and
bears latin inscription, Of which tie
following is translation
"The citizens of Rome dedicate this
stone, taken from the tomb of Servius

The SPRINGFIELD HORSE EXHIBITION,
We would call attention to the Ma
tional Exhibition Of Horses to take
place at Springfield, Massachusetts,, the
last Of August. 1t will be the fifth OF
a series of annual exhibitions of this
kind that have been held in that city,
and which have been eminently success
full, calling together many of the finest
specimen horses in this country, and
some OF the trials of speed have been the
fastest on record. Vermon.ers know,
appreciate, and like to see good horses
and the best time, and their is no better
place to enjoy this privilege than at the
exhibition at Springfield on the 9th,
28th, Goth and 30th ofAugust next. The
following from the Springfield Repub-
lican gives full view Of the objects OF
the exhibition and its arrangements:
Extensive preparations are making
for the grand horse exhibition in this
city on the 9th, 28th, Goth and Both of
August next, and there are many favor
ing influences and cheering indications
of a triumphant result. Never before in
the experience of former managers has
there been more hearty cooperation
among interested classes, or such I'M
wearied effort among the working men
of the city. The managers of other ex-
hibitions, the Springfield club who so
successfully engineered the late 4th of
July ceremonies, the officers of the
Hampden Agricultural Society, the rail-
road and steamboat corporations, the
owners of rare and noted horses, the
lovers and judges of craftsmanship, and
gentlemen eminent in the professions
and occupying the highest rank in mill
tary and civil life, are for once agreed
and they extend the helping hand. Nine
thousand dollars have been offered in
premiums for thirty classes of horses;
Hampden Park, unequaled in extent and
beauty, is being placed In all its APP
pointments in perfect order; the four
railroads centering here offer to carry
horses with their grooms both ways
free more than score Of connecting
roads and boats offer similar transport
alton at half fare, and caterers, show
men and artists are perfecting arrange
ments accordingly. Is it not time for
all classes to open their eyes in expect
ancy? A Springfield horse show, it
should be remembered, is different
thing, and not to be COMPOUNDED with
horse shows and races elsewhere. These
too often make the speed of old and
broken down track horses the chief con-
sideration, and betting,' gambling, and
the like, the only past time. The
Springfield shows, from their first inau-
guration in 1858, have maintained high
er grounds. Although speed is q great
feature, it has never been the only one.
Beauty, style, action, general capabilty,
and service among all classes and ages
is also taken into account, making the |
exhibition what it ought to be, COM
plete and satisfactory in every part. No |
other motive have the present managers |
than a laudable public spirit, purpose |
to elevate the horse interest, to improve |
his character, to enhance his value, and |
enlarge the useful purposes to which he |
may be put in the service of man.
