A ScouNDRRL.-Such name do we
apply to an Individual who for several
nights past has stationed himself at the
railroad crossing west OF Hall & Co.'s
store, frightening tlmid men and women
who happened to be passers-by between
the hours Of eleven p. m. and one a. m.
He usually euvelops himself in a sheet,
and by the utterance OF hideous noises,
has passed himself Off as genuine ghost,
upon the believers Of ghostly doctrines.
No ordinary punishment is too light to
mete out to such scapegrace, whose
object cannot be anything less than
plumber, and we trust our authorities
will see that he is apprehended and
brought to justice.
Since writing the above we learn
that the ghost committed a serious as.
sault upon a Waterman In the employ Of
the Rutland & Burlington Railroad Com
pany on Monday evening, serving to con.
vey the impression that he is ghost OF
the muscular order, whose nefarious pro-
ceedings should be no longer tolerated.

"Reminiscences of! OIden Times.

The following excellent letter from the
faithful correspondent of the Boston
Journal, from Montpelier, Col. B. D,
Hopkins, gives in few words a notice
OF the reception Of General Sheridan, and
the festivities of the Reunion Society,
and also pleasing "reminiscences of the
receptions OF President Monroe and Gen.
Lafayette, which we desire to place on
record, therefore publish the interesting
letter as whole. Col, H. las gathered
up two incidents which should not be
lost, and we take pleasure ngiving them
to the readers of the HERALD:
MONTPELIER, Oct. 81, 1867.
Gen. Sheridan, during his stay of few
hours in Montpelier, was honored with
every attention which his character as a
brave officer could suggest to the minds
of generous and appreciative people.
he was cheered, feasted and toasted.
The ladies greeted him with boquets and
waving handkerchiefs, and the men and
boys kept up succession Of cheers and
tigers" until he had left the place and
even after, The bands hoDored him with
a free use of national airs and the
speechmakers spoke his praises without
stint. 'All then, all things, all that has
life and breath" was made to do him
honor yesterday.
AFTER ALL
the matter of fact style in which the
members of the Soldiers Reunion settled
down to their own festivities, after Gen.
Sheridan and his party had retired from
the Hall, showed that there were other
duties which they recognized and other
friendships to which they would minis.
ter. Seated in Washington Hall, full
three hundred strong, intelligent, en-
thusiastic, noble young men, they were
a grand sight to look upon. The object
of their association is to keep alive the
memory of their deeds and maintain an
acquaintance with each other. Their
Reunion is held annually during the ses-
sion OF the Legislature. Their meeting
last evening was pleasant one. The
Hall was hung with profusion of pic.
lures and other appropriate decorations.

A PROCLAMATION.

Our heritage has fallen to us in "a
land of hills and valleys, that drinketh
water OF the rain of Heaven; land
which the LORD our GoD careth for" 1t
is our privilege as a people to recognize
this care, and to give thanks unto the

EIGHTH DAY OF NOVEMBER, instant, to

Let us on that day refrain from our
usual avocations, and assemble in our
accustomed places Of worship, render
praise wish thankful hearts to tour

served US.
Let us be thankful for the civil and
religious liberty which we enjoy, and
for the measure OF health and prosperity
with which we have been blessed during

the husbandman have been abundantly
rewarded, and that peace and plenty are
within our borders.

a BLESSING IN DIsGUIsB.-Ed Editors Rut.
land Herald While our flremen were
making such heroic exertions yesterday
to save the jail from destruction, the
spontaneous exclamation was-ht il
burn Such indeed was the almest uni
yersal sentiment of our people. Men of
all classes and shades OF opinion upon
other topics all seemed to unite in treat
ing the casualty as something less than
3 calamity, And when the flames were
finally subdued q feeling of disappoint-
ment found vent in audible murmurs
throughout the crowd of lockers on.
And in sooth, seeing that the fire came
so nesr using M tho old sheli, 10 !s really
pity that enough Of 1t is left to sug-
gest the possible idea of repairs.
The Jail, such as it was, has doubtless
been well kept by Mr.. Briggs. Indeed,
no one probably could have done better
under the circumstances than he. But
the institution itself is relic of q BY
gone age, and has been for quarter OF a
century, disgrace to the county, and
source Of humiliation to our people:
1t is to be hoped there will be no com.
promise with the question now, but that
this ancient bastile will give place to
structure more in keeping with the pro-
gressive and humanitarian tendencies OF
the age. *.*

LOOK BACKWARD.
Montpelier lies so far inland, and at
such remove from the great thorough.
Iares OF the country-though in this re-
spect Improving, thanks TO the energy
and good Judgment of the managers OF
the Vermont Central Railway-that the
visits OF eminent men here have been of
rare occurrence. The visit o! Gen.
Sheridan has led to some enquiries touch
Ing this matter. The first and only
President ever here was President Mon
roe, about the year 1916. He stopped
at what has ever since been known as
the Caldwell House-a private residence
little to the right of State street, on the
east side OF Main street, then the best
residence in Montpelier, its glory long
since passed away. So. much has the
whole town been raised up since it was
built that its stills are now several feet
below the street which ipasses 1t, Ny
informant says President Monroe went
through the State by special stage, at
the rate of ten TO fifteen miles an hour.
1t is stated that TO defray the expenses
OF the Presidential visit, in part, persons
so inclined were permitted TO sit in the
chsir which Mr., Monroe used on pay
ment OF one dollar. President Monroe
was welcomed to the State, and pre-
scented to the people by Gen. John Peck,
father OF the tate Lucius B. Peck,
GEN. LAIFRTTR
visited the state and Montpelier about
the year 1926. He entered the State at
Windsor and was there welc~"neo by the
Hon. Horace Everitt. Arriving at
Montpelier, he stopped at the Pavilion
He visited the State House and was
presented to the Legislature by Judge
Paine. Hon. Daniel Kellogg, now the
venerable and respected Senator from
Windham county, was then the Cover
uor's Secretary and made the entire trip
of the State with Gen. Lafayette. 1t is
said that though be was entertained at
the Pavilion, some of the ladies of the
place contributed to increase his OIL of
fare. One lady whose husband had been
in France and brought home the recipe
for French soup, made a dish of it and
placed 1t at the Generals disposal as a
rare dish for the times. 1t is further re-
lated that the only carpet In town was
taken up and carried to the State House
for his use while there. The times have
changed since then, verify.

MARRrAaE.-The editors of the New
York Evening Gazette have been asked
BY some of their young lady readers il
they believed with the Apostle Paul that
it is best not to marry. To this query
they reply as follows. The fact that
the givers Of this advice are bachelors
does not, we suppose, initiate against
its soundness:.
ayes and no, dear girls. That de-
ponds upon circumstances. A husband
is like a blaeksmith's largest hammer,
in being a very handy and useful arti-
Gle to have about, if you need it and can
manage it, and very useless and mala-
propoI if you don't and can't. Speak
ing chemically, marriage is mixing the
oil and water Of opposing tastes, unless
the slkali Of genuine love be added, in
which case you have soap and smooth
ness, and glide through life easily. Or
we may vary the expression a little, and
may say that love is a solvent which
uuites. It is indispensable, it is de-
ligh,ful, it is powerful; but the trouble
is, that a great many people are fatally
apt to mistake a weak solution of senti-
msnt and romance for the genuine ex-
tract whose power and flavor will last
through life. Don't be in a hurry to
try those chemical experiments for your
selves, dear inquirsrs-check aprons are
better than chignons, and housekeeping
should be studied under mammals tut
ton before you try chemistry under
your own. In this matter don't be
eager to take Time by the forelock, lest
he roughly take of your locks, the
bloom from your checks, and the light
from Your eyes,"

VIZ have received several marked
copies of the San Francisco Dramatic
Chronicle, Of recent date, containing q
gross and outrageous Islander upon a
citizen Of this county. The attack from
the Groaiek is entirely uuprovoked;
and while we can imagine who is its
real author or instigator, we are sur
prised that the editor of that paper
should have permitted such an assault
through his columns. The attack is not
warranted BY a single ground Of truth ;
the person asserted, to our knowledge,
not peing amenable to q Of the
charges made. We presume the Chronicle
man will publish this denial, and while
disclaiming any desire to unjustly speak
Of any man, will agree to inquire into
the character for truth and veracity Of
the Honorable Thomas Fitch before he
allows any. similar iings from that sweet
scented individual to disgrace his jour
nal.
