were two sIx-horse teams, such as Yer

and all enjoyed it much. ,
We shall start for the Notch this

from Montpelier and from this place will

seems to all that I; railroad from Port
land through the Notch to this place and
on to connect with the Vermont Central
and Oglensburg railroad should be built.

years ago, and it, has been well followed
by other settlers here. They established
their scale mandatory in 1880, and
have been increasing their business ever
since. Last year they used two millions

They employ between four and five hun
dred hands, and many of them are skill
ed laborers who have been with them
ever since the establishment of these
works. Their sales of scales last year
came to between twelve and thirteen
hundred thousand dollars: besides their
works in Jersey city where they make
their finer scales. 1t must be confessed
their business is very extensive. Such
men help support the Government They

Il Summer Session.

1t looks now as though there would be
Il session Of congress next month. The
Springfield Republican. which has a
chronic habit Of finding a good deal of
fault with the Republican party and
many Of the Republican leaders, thus
mentions the session:
1T is evident there is TO be a summer
session OF Congress. not to crafty the
Impeachers, or to further worry the
president about the offices, but to patch
up the reconstruction acts which con-
gress stupidity left 50 open that the presi-
dent can nullify the whole work if he
CHOOSES. Whether he will choose to do
II or not makes little difference. All the
" Washington dispatches state that presi-
dent and cabinet are agreed in the decis-
ION to revoke the military orders special
y referred TO III the attorney generals
opinion, and that such revocation will
probably be made in a few days. But
tins action will only make the assurance
OF summer session doubIy sure. 1t is
enough that the president has the power
to do 1t. He cannot be trusted with this
power, and congress will meet and again
assert its supremacy in the reconstruction
business. and try to do it this lime in
manner that will be final This is the
feeling both with congressman and the
people, and so we must accept the extra
session, much as it is to be regretted on
many accounts. 1t will not take long to
fix up the reconstruction matter, and it is
not likely that anything else will be at
tempted that will necessitate a lengthy
stay In Washington in July If other
things are pressed both houses will be
speedily left without a quorum, for Sen
ator Fessenden Of Maine expresses the
view OF others than himself when he
writes that he will be on hand if recon-
structIon measures make it necessary, but
that he will not come to Washington to
consider impeachment and other questions |

what .HOutDeIipr is donna,

The report OF the majority of the COM
mittee of Montpelier, ON the question of
mortgaging the town i'll the sum of
SljO,OOO, for the construction OF the
Montpelier and st. Johnsbury railroad
has been published. The report of this
majority Of to 81 is adverse to such a
town loan. because of taxes on property
holders, but proposes to attempt to raise
it by taking Sjo, 900 in stock as a bonus
to subscribers for the additional $780,
600. Of this action by fourteen of the
committee, the editor OF Walton's Daily.
who is one OF the minority OF the COM
mlttec, says i'll Ills paper Of June l.
'Per>onally, we are ready to take our
share on the grand list of the Sl5O.O 900.
bat we are reluctant, by our assent, to
force unnecessarily a like contribution
upon others, who feel that they cannot
afford it. For example, those who own
only homestead. with no desire to sell
it. the increased value Of which bv the
road will therefore be to the owners
rather worse than nominal. since it will
increase the amount of their taxes. 1t is
true that. in these cases, the cxaction
may lie made up TO their heirs but still
there will be an mwelcomc burden TO
holders ior life If the amount required
can be made up with a smaller contribu-
ton 10y town taxes, we therefore would
prefer it, and our advice would be first
to see whether the sum of $4,000 can
not be raised ON the plan suggested by
the committee. If that should fail. then
Montpelier can try the naked and impor-
tant question OF q nlortytge Of $50, 900.
or no rOHt. In that case. we shall choose
the mortgage We understand that an
effort IS to be Immediately made for the
Sl5O,OOO mortgage. We do not know
the reasons for haste We can think of
none and we venture to say that there
can be none if it be understood that
Montpelier 'nV raise any reasonable
amount required of her, in some one of
the modes already proposed or that may
be adopted. We believe that it Is the
purpose OF most of our people"

SrRRATr's TRIAL.-The trial of John

District Attorney Darlington moved for
a discharge Of the jury on account of in

Monday and Tuesday were spent in dis

Judge Fisher gave his opinion sustaining
the motion and di>charging the jury, and
ordering the assembling of a new one
The whole week was spent in trying to
empancl new Jury, but on Saturda, the
requisite number had not been obtained.
\ full jury was empanelea in the Sur

commenced on Monday. Surratt was
arrraigned before the jury ana pleaded
not guilty. The trial was commenced be-

Some of your readers will wish to
know what results may be expected
from this excursion. As a mere out
slider and chronicler of the trip, | can
only give the results OF impressions made.
From the time the party struck the
Winooski going west, until they reached
the Saco flowing east, there were noth-
inc but expressions of the greatest infer
est, and surprise even,-at the fertility
of our own state and its resources Tor
local business for the new road, the
unbounded facilities on the Lake for
bringing western commerce in this direc-
ton. and the immense timber tracts of
the White Mountain region, the increas-
ed value Of which the day the road is
opened. would build a dozen roads 1t
was the remark Of one of the party that
he had come with full faith in the entire
route except the pass Of the mountains :;
but when he came to see that, and follow
the surveyed line with the engineer, all
skepticiSm vanished.
OF the building of this road, there is
now 10 reasonable doubt it is only a
matter of time, and that but short time
if the people interested and those who
are TO be greatly benefited, but put their
shoulder to the wheel \ strong pull
altogether and the object is accom-
pli>hed. {. NJ. :.

No FIREWORKS. - We notice that
Boston. and several Western cities. have
forbidden the use OF fireworks on the
coming fourth Of July. This is move
i'll the right direction. We believe more
enjoyment can be secured with less money
and less risk in some other way. 1t now
remains for the selectmen and authori-
ties of our villages to prohibit the use of
that unmitigatsd nuisance, fire crackers,
and we trust they will do it.
