the popular vote, and was reelected in
1855.
As Lieutenant-G Governor he became Pres
ident of the Senate. The duties Of this
station he discharged with ability, courtesy
and impartiality, and at the close Of both
sessions the Senate unanimously bore their
testimony to that effect This IS the most
noteworthy from the fact, to use his own
language In an address to the Senate, that
he was called from the walks Of private
life, without theoretical or practical knowl-
edge Of parliamentary law or practice,
and placed here to discharge the complica-
ted duties of this position. 1t is evident
$ that such transition would be attended
with serious embarrassments"
In 1856 he was the candidate Of the
Republican party, and was elected Govern
or of Vermont by t1eenty-tlco tt0uSand
majority. He was reelected in 1897 by a
similar vote. He received at each election
the largest majority ever given to Gov
ernor of ermont, when elected on regular
party issues. At the time of his inaugu-
ration as Governor was temporarily revived
an ancient custom, which had long been
extinct in this State y procession was
formed, consisting of the members of the
Senate and House, the Senate officers and
others, under the direction of the Adiutant-
General Of the State, attended bya military
escort, which moved to the church. and
there attended religious services and lis
tened to an election sermon: at the
close Of which they returned to the State
House, the oath Of Office was administered
to the Governor, and thereupon his annual
message was read.
During his administration the State
House at Montpelier was destroyed by fire,
and measures were Immediately taken to
rebuild it on the same site. During hi,
also, the judiciary system
OF the State was changed by abolishing the
Office Of Circuit Judge and re-adopting the
old Supreme and County Courts, which
prevailed in the State immediately before
the establishment of the Circuit system.
and which had then been long in use
In 1861, after his retirement from the
Chair. Governor Fletcher
his native town in the General
Assembly of ermont, and, was on the part
Of the House, Chairman of the Joint Com
mittee on the Library. Gov. Fletcher is
yet living. He resides on his farm in Cav
endish, ana Is IS years old.

WOMEN Born TO Do THE LovINa.-That
nature has ordained love as woman's task,
more than mans, is thus declared by late
moralist: With man, love is never pas
sion of such intensity as with woman. She
is creature of sensibility, existing only in
the outpourings and sympathies of her emo
tions. Every earthly blessing, nay, every
heavenly hope, viii be sacrificed with her
affections She will leave the sunny home
of her childhood, the protecting roof of her
kindred-forget the counsels of her sire,
the admonishing voice of that mother on
whose bosom her head had been pillowed-
do all that woman can do consistently
with honor-forsake all that she has clung
to in her girlish simplicity for years and
throw herself into the arms Of man she
