Re-Uni0n of the Second Vermont
Volunteers,

The third annual reunion OF the Off
GERS and men Of the Second Vermont
Volunteer Regiment, took place at the
American House, Burlington, on Thnrs.
day evening last, and was a most happy
and joyous affair. Between forty and
fifty were present, a small but enthusi-
astic attendance, among whom we no.
ticed such distinguished officers as Coils.
Joyce, johnson and Tracey, Major Cole,
and many others, whose names reflect
honor and credit upon he citizen SOL
dlery of Vermont and who have, in uni
son with the old Second, struck terror to
the hearts OF traitors on many a we'll
fought field.
Col. Joyce, being the senior officer
present. presided, whilt Lieut.. C. NJ.
Bliss OBLIGATED as Secretary.
The meeting was called to order at
eight p. m, when the Secretary read the
minutes Of the last meeting, which were
adopted, and after litth animated dis
cussion, participated in BY nearly all the
members present, :he Chair appointed
Col. Tracey, Col. johnson and Major
Cole committee on permanent organi-
zation. The committee retired, and after
conference returned, ant recommended
as follows:
Ihat at all meetings OF the Regiment the
senior officer present serve as President :;
That Secretary and Treasurer be ap.
pointed for the ensuing year; that an ex.
ecutive committee of FIVE be appointed to
make all necessary arrangements for the
reunion, including the election of a
suitable person to deliver an Grafton

If man will observe as he walks

The reason why so few marriages

Small causes are sufficient to make a

Fire In Brattieboro.

BY an extra issue of the Vermont
Record and Farmer, received by the 8
O'Clock train last evening, we have the
following particulars of serious fire at
Brattleboro; Friday morning, about A.
teen minutes past IL o'clock, the stables
connected with the Brattleboro House
were discovered to be on fire by young
man named Charles Miller, clerk of the
American House. The alarm was in
stantly given, bells rupg, whistles blown,
ETC., etc, and the fire department was
promptly on the spot and at work.
By the time the fire department were
enabled TO work, the flames had obtained
full Roadway, and it being impossible to
save the stables where the fire broke
out, attention was turned to preventing
the spread of the flames to the adjoln'
ing premises.
The shed running from the stables to
the store.house of Messrs. Frost & Good
hue was pulled down by the Hook and
Ladder Company. The fence on Green
street, in the rear Of the stables, having
caught fire, was also pulled down to
prevent any spread in that direction,
while the fire department centeret its
greatest efforts upon the stables of Sid.
ney Morse, next adjoining the fred prem.
ises, and the latter were saved by the
hardest and steadiest of work.
Tha fire broke out in the rear end OF
the barn, and spread with great rapid
ity. A valuable horse, belonging to Mr.
c. G. Lawrence, worth 500, was saved
There were seven horses in the stalls
at the time the fire broke out-twO be-
longing to Mr.. Lawrence; one owned by
Mr.. L. B. Pratt of Boston, Mass. one
by J. L. Butterfeld of Grafton one by
William Harris, Jr., of Windham; ont
by Frank Goodhue, and one by Fred
Franks of Brattleboro.
A number of harnesses, seventyfyt
bushels Of oats, three tons of hay,
quantity of straw, and some eighto' tel
barrels of -four were destroyed.
The fire was subdued about halfpas
two o'clock.
The buildings destroyed were ovneC
by Messrs. J. R. & G. B. Blake of Bos
ton, Mass. Whether insured or net W.
cannot ascertain.
The hay, oats, etc, were insured fo
5000 In the Hartford and Etna Com
panes of Hartford, Conn.
The fire is supposed to have been thu
work of an incendiary.

SANTA ANNA.--Our government on
Thursday received official dispatches
from the consul at Vera Cruz, and Com
mander W. E. Leroy of the United
States steamer Tullahoma, lying off that
city, stating that on the 4th inst. Santa
Anna arrived at Vera Cruz in the steamer
Virginia and anchored under the guns
of the fort. The officer in command at
Vera Cruz being a friend Of Santa Anna
the latter, with considerable flourish,
announced that he came there by the
desire and at the request OF both Juarez
and Macmillan, and backed and sup
ported by the United States government,
to take control of the Mexican govern
ment. These facts were Immediately
made known to the United States consul
and Commander Leroy, and, believing
Santa Annals statement to be false, they
came together and consulted as to the
proper course to pursue.
Commander Leroy at once repaired
aboard the Virginia and informed Santa
Anna that he and his suite must come
aboard the United States vessel Tulla-
homa, and spend the night-it then be-
ing nearly dark. Santa Anna and his
suite were then conducted to the vessel
last named and kept there that night
the Commander giving up his cabin to
the Adventures. On the following morn
ing early, Commander Leroy had Santa
Anna and his party again placed aboard
the steamer Virginia, and the latter yes,
sci, with her Mexican passengers, was
conducted by the Tullahoma 20 miles
out to sea, and there set at liberty, with
instructions to Santa Anna not to appear
again in that vicinity.

Washington Items.

-Messrs. Sumner and Stevens are
both writing letters TO the doubtful
Congressman, urging them to be on hand
at the opening of the July session. They
want quorum at the beginning and q
short session.
The fourth days session of the Cabi'
net held this week adjourned early
Thursday afternoon. The instructions
TO military commanders relative TO reg
istration, agreed TO at the meeting on
Wednesday were again revised and will
probably be promulgated.
The judiciary Committee will re-
assemble at Washington next Tuesday
to make up their report on the impeach-
ment investigation for presentation to
Congress should there be quorum in
July. The evidence has been all printed
and put into one volume OF seven hun
dred pages. The proof copy, printed
for the Committee for daily use, nearly
doubled that number.
The President issued proclamation
on Thursday announcing the ratification
treaty with Russia, ceding the Russian
American possessions to the United
States, which concludes as follows :
"Now therefore be it known that |, An
drew Johnson, President of the United
States Of America, have caused the said
treaty to be made public, to the end that
the same and every clause and article
thereof may be observed and fulfilled
with good faith by the United States
and by the citizens thereof"
1t seems evident at this writing
that owing to temporary illness OF the
President and the large amount of bust
ness before the Cabinet, the issuance OF
orders to various Military Commanders,
rev oking their orders in certain cases Of
removal Of Southern officers, will be de-
layed till after the Presidents return
from his New England trip. The fact
that it was determined to decide each Of
these cases separately has also neces
sta ted q delay that would not have fol
lowed had general order been agreed
on covering all Of the removals.
Secretary Seward has received two
highly important communications, from
Queen Victoria and the Emperor Napo
leon, In which they hope that this gov
ernm ent will do all that it deems proper
in Mexico to save the life of Macmillan
The fact Of this request has been com
muniCated to Juarez, together with s
reiteratiOn of the hope-forwarded some
time since to Juarez by Secretary Sew
ard-that Macmillan will not be treat
ed otherwise than as prisoner Of war
1t is not true, as stated, that the Score
tary of State has made formal demand
that Maximilian's life be spared.
The Surratt trial on Thursday wa
not remarkable for important revela
tions. There is, however, no abatemen
in the interest in the proceedings. TIL
Court House was overlooking witt
spectators, including large number Q
ladies. A witness named DR.. Cleave
testified to seeing Surratt in Washington
on the day Of the assassination, but tn
defense sought to ruin his credibility b
eliciting the fact that Cleaver had late
been convicted of rape and murder, anC
