| In this restored relation the coloreo
people are to play an important part
as never before, and to make it per
manent and prosperous they must be
educated and virtuous. 1t is inevita
BILE that sooner or later they must be
invested with all the rights and priv
leges of citizenship. There is nc
basis other than this, Oh which the
present exciting question, "what shall
be done with the freedmen p can be
made to rest. Decide it as we may
otherwise to-day, it will come up to-
morrow. Wisdom, equity and the
genius OF our American Republicanism
demand alike impartial laws, which
shall recognize no distinction of origin,
race, or color, only of intelligence and
virtue in all who stand in the image
Of their Maker. The sooner the col
ored people of the South are educated
and the more sound and solid is the
oasis on which their christian and
educational Institutions are raised, the
sooner will this contest over their
rights cease, the more valuable citi.
zens will they make, and the more
stable and prosperous will our country
be.
1t is just the work which the Amer.

abundant opportunity is open for do

Harger, corner of Merchants Row and
Center streets, was struck by lightning,
the bolt entering the building at the top
OF the north side wall, about thirty
feet from the east end, SCATTERING Sc
verely the projecting scaffoldiDg from the
uncompleted building, as we'll as the
window frames in that portion of the
structure, and displacing and knocking
out of shape the brick wall in several
places. 1t passed down through the
building to the ground, and Frustrated
five persons who were standing on the
lower floor of the building in an apart
ment fitted up as refreshment stand
and kept by young man named Edward
Kelly. The injured parties Were two
lads, sons OF Mr.. Robert Hewitt of this
place, young man named Plumbley of
Cuttingsville, young lady unknown to
us and man named Henry McMaster
of Middlebury. The latter was the
most seriously injured, but after rubbing
thoroughly for several hours and the
free application Of water, under the di-
rection of DR.. Pond, he revived, and is
now out of danger, as are all Of the
others Frustrated at that time. The loss
on the building struck is heavy, but is
covered by insurance In the Lorillard
Company of New York, through its
agents at this place, E. L. Cardell s Co.
The trial of the patent fire extin.
guisher on the lot on Washington street
south of the Bardwell House was most
complete success. A temporary build
ing was erected, filled with tar barrels
and fired, when, after the building was
wrapped in flames, the agent of the ex-
tnguisher commenced playing on the
fire, and in three. fourths of a minute
had brought it under his control, and in
two minutes had completely extin.
guished the flames. The machine is
good one, and should and must event
ually come into general use.
The fireworks in the evening were
burned on the grounds west of the Cath
olic cemetery, on West street, and
though promiscuous selection, afforded
good deal Of amusement to Young
America and such other classes of the
community as witnessed the display.
- Thus ended the celebration of
the Fourth of July, 1867, in Rutland,
and, though its festivities are past hey
were such, as we have said, as will long
be cherished in grateful remembrance
by the thousands who witnessed and
participated in them.
