to the Fair Grounds. Providence is one
of the most enterprising cities in New
England, and the spirit manifested by its
prominent citizens in reference to this
exhibition presages an interesting occa-
sion and a complete success, and the
New England Agricultural Society have
done well in availing themselves of this
excellent opportunity to visit the State
OF Rhode Island. The Rhode Island So
ciety for the Promotion of Domestic In
dustry, of which Senator VIM. Sprague
is President, is one of the Oldest socie-
ties of the country, and all the promi-
nent men Of that State have been con-
nected with its management from its
first organization, and have done much
for its prosperity and encouragement, an
example which is worthy of being fol-
lowed in all our New England States,
and would make our agricultural asso-
Citations far more successful and enter
prising. Rhode Island is eminently a
manufacturing State, although many fine
herds of cattle and large focks of coarse
wool sheep and fine and fast horses are
found among the limited agricultural
population of the commonwealth. Yet
the farmers OF New England, as they
shall gather at the exhibition with their
stocks of various kinds, will find that
the competition in little Rhody will
far exceed their expectation. The ar.
rangements fully perfected upon the plan
foreshadowed will make the fourth
annual exhibition of the New England
Agricultural Society far surpass any
that has yet been held.

PITTsFoRD. Eaito,S Rutland Herald -
noticed in your issue of the 18th inst.
an article headed Pityoy5, preceding
the statement of our Town Treasurer, in
which was highly complimented for
east services, as we'll as an expression of
good wishes for the future, for which /
hereby express my sincere thanks.
Permit me to suggest an error in the
article. 1t is true that | was first elected
Town Clerk, in the interim between the
deatb and burial of my father, but not as
his immediate successor. 1 was the
successor of Gen. Caleb Hendee, who
held the said office from 1900 to 1928, ex-
cept that my father was Clerk in 1921.
1t is due to the friends and descendants
o. Gen. Hendee, that this error be COR
rected. / also state that had the honor
of acting as one of the county judges
five years in succession, being associated
with the late Judges Allen and Langdon
deceased, and with the present Judge
Frisbie, but of this there is no need of
correction. .....
further state that my .fatkey before
me and myself after him have been con-
slant subscribers of the Rutland HERALD
since the first volume and it has con-
stantly come to the dwelling in which l
was born, and in which have always
lived and still live and am in my 69th
year.
Therefore it is not strange that hope
the old HERALD will continue until time
shall be no more. S. III. KELLOGG,

resolution gets through the House, with
a temperate police force, it may be pos.
sible to drive whiskey from the Capitol

The Senate at last has passed the
supplemental reconstruction bill. A
number Of Senators tried their best to
carry the bill over to this week, and
would be glad to discuss it month.
They were finally beaten by the fierce
determination of the majority. In all
that takes place now in either house the
fierce purpose OF small minority to
prolong the session is apparent. Butler
was badly beaten on this very point in
the House, Friday afternoon, but Messrs.
Drake, Howard, Sumner, and others in
the Senate, intend, if possible, to keep
Congress in session for several weeks
longer. They even hope for a summer
session. The majority OF both houses
is, however strongly against it. The
only danger arises from the fact that not
less than thirty of the best members of
the House have already gone home. II
the Others of that stamp follow their
example, the extremists will be in de-
cided majority, the committees will be
announced, and the session greatly pro-
longed.

RUTLAND VT, THURSDAY MORNING, MARCH q, 1861


We trust this state Of things is attribut-
able to inattention rather than TO real
want of interest in the welfare of the
children OF the State; if it were not, 1t
would be hopeless task to endeavor to
bring the people to its proper considera-
tion.
Proper men should be elected as Of
ficers of the school districts, especially 10
the selection of district clerks, for, upon
them depends much labor Of Importance
to the public as well as to the district,
and the mere routine of keeping the
records is but a small part of the essen
tial duties thst devolve upon them,
We cannst refrain from making an ex-
tract from Secretary Adams last annual
report upon this particular point:
"The prevalent custom of appointing
to the office of district clerk some young,
inexperienced and irresponsible boy who
does not, and cannot realize the possible
Importance of the official duties he is
called to perform, should be entirely
abolished and an older and more re-
sponsible class of men appointed to the
office. And this becomes more apparent
when we reflect that not only is it true
that our whole system of educational
statistics is vtiated and made inopera-
tive in its full power, by the careless
manner in which the duties of district
clerk are too often performed but it is
also true that four-ffths of the litigation
that ever prevails In regard to school
matters, the most useless and most in
furious litigation that is known, is
caused by the inexperience, want of
knowledge, and Carelessness Of district
clerks.
We need thorough agitation, by con-
versatiOn snd discussion, Of the public
mind, so that faithfulness on the part of
all concerned, in the collection and re-
turn of school statistics shall be uni
veysally demanded
The prudential committee should be
gentlemen OF judgment and discretion,
who will feel an active and intelligent
interest in the school. Frequent changes
in committees are almost disastrous to
the interest of some of our schools. This
office should be made more permanent
than it is, and we hope the law will be
so amended that the prudential commit
tee shall consist of three in each dis
trct, elected respectively for one, TWO
and three years, and thereafter one mem.
Der OF the committee be elected and hold
office for three years.
The law enacted last fall makes the
public money distributed in proportion
10 the aggregate attendance, instead of
the average daily attendance, We shall
publish tomorrow, the law in full, that
public attention may be called to
this new feature Of the statutes.
We have called the attention of our
readers to this subject, that the people
may be induced to come to the annual
school meetings as they do to town
meetings. At the annual school meet
ing in 1865 there was only Is voters pres
entin each school district in the State. Let
US have a full attendance this year and
let it not go out to the world hereafter
that only Is men can be found in each
district who are interested in their pub
lie schools

THE LOST WOMAN FoUND.-A Mrs.
Broderick of Vergennes, aged 48 years,
left her home in that city on the night
of the 9th of last December, to visit her
daughter in Ferrisburgh. She never
reached there, and all traces of her was
lost, although search was made. Her
body was found on Saturday last, about
one quarter of mile east of Vergennes,
in a meadow, by some children who
were sliding on the ice. No inquest
was deemed advisable.

LAsALLR, LII. March II.

LAsALLE, Ill. March II, 1867.
Editors Ratland Herald - Perhaps YOU,
with many readers, might be glad to
hear word from the great, great west.
An experience of several days travel
through this country has taught me
many things in regard to the West, all
not of the most pleasing character.
That the people of the West are enter
prising there can be no doubt, for all
branches of trade are prosecuted with
the greatest vigor, and attended with
the least expense. One is impressed
with the idea that people emigratc here
to "stay awhile and make what money
they can then return to enjoy it in a pure
New England atmosphere. This i'm
preston is gained from the general di-
lapidated appearance of many inland
manufacturing towns and the same i'm
preston is gained of many farmers also.
All over the State you'll see large and
thrifty farms with the poorest apollo
gies of farm houses, some Of brick and
some Of logs, some Of board and timber
and generally planted square in mud
puddle, surrounded as they generally
are with about Que hundred hogs, pre-
sentlng q scene both grand and pictur-
esque to all burrowing aniWals.
Whilst here and there you'll ind
farmer laboring upon the New England
system, everything bearing the impress
of thrift and industry, broad acres
fences, buildings painted, &C, you'll find
many mere living in seventy. nine
house, and barns here consist of rail
pen covered with prairie grass, whilst
many lone flock and herd are exposed
to the sweeping winds Of this section.
You'll see these poor exposed creatures
roaming DER the prairies or leaning
against some old straw stack, with
aroked spins and emaciated frame, as if
waiting for summer or death.
The central part of Illinois contains
more worthless acres of land proper
tionately than Vermont, and her corn
crop for the year 1856 was quite a per
cent. less although corn is plenty here at
forty cents per bushel good wheat is
worth from 81 to 50 25 per bushel oats
is worth from so to 35 cents.
There are many fine and flourishing
villages and "cities" growing up in this
country the people are hospitable and
kind, o'aIesS they hare a sgn-then-
The West does not keep pace with
New England in other respects. One can
but notice the scarcity and poverty of
churches and school houses. All through
the northern part Of Ohio, Indiana aud
many portions Of Illinois, you'll see
about two distiIleries to one church, aud
it will be conceded that one distillery
in full blast will countersct the in
huence Of many churches.
I think they generally have good
schools and the "many children" they
are raising here will in due time work
powerful influence in this vast republic.
God grant that right impression may
oe given to this republican land. Politi-
cally the West is Union thoroughly, and

County COMMISSIONER. = Mr.. S. d.
Winslow, of Pittsford received nearly
all the votes which were cast in this
county (l,12D and is therefore elected
County Commissioner. In several of the
towns in the county no votes were cast.
The votes were printed at, and distri-
buted by, the HERALD Office to such per-
sons as they thought proper, in the vari-
GUS towns, wnich probably accounts for
the smallness OF the vote. We deem
this as another illustration of the alb
surdity OF undertaking to enforce the
Liquor Law by placing it in the hands
of the rum party. We have no doubt
that Mr.. Winslow will perform his duty
faithfully.-Ratla''d Independent.

and better ways OF humbugging the peo-
pie into your support than by misrepre-

your hypocrisy, but must state the
facts
The votes for County Commissioner
