A HISTORY. of the London tailors' strike
is given, or at least the financial part of it,
in paper read just before Christmas, be-
citation. 1t appears that during the strike
from April to the end of October, the
money raised for the benefit of the tailors
amounted to $S6,5OO. OF the amount re-
ceived $7s,405 had been paid to the men on
strike, while the remainder, with the ex-
ception of $40 in hand, and $3.50 advanced
to the defence fund, was expended in dele
cations, public meetings committees,
printing, advertising, and the other neces-
sary incidents connected with a protracted
strike. Two thousand men were on q
strike for six months, and they were paid
at the rate of little over six shillings per
head per week. 5000 were expended in de-
Tending the President and others tried few
months ago for conspiring against the en-
ploying tailors.
JUDGE THURMAN was yesterday elected
United States Senator from Ohio, in place
of Hon. B. F. Wade. The Senator elect
is one of the ablest lawyers in the West, a
firm defender of Democratic principles, a
man of unblemished reputation, and his
advent in the body to which he is elected
will add much to the strength of the friends
of an early reconstruction of the Union on
the basis of the Constitution, in that branch
of the Federal Legislature. The Demo-,
cratic triumph in Ohio is thus early produ-
cling gratifying results to the party in other
sections of the Cnion.-Philadelphia (Pa)
Age.
! The Wisconsin Legislature assembl es to-
day, the Sch inst. In the Lower House the .
Republicans have decided majority, but
the Senate is about evenly divided, the Re-
publicans having lost three members in the
last election. IT every member elected as
Republican could be relied upon to act with
the party, there would be working ma
iority of two; but it is claimed by leading
Democrats that two of the Senators elected
in 1866 will act with the Democracy, hav-
ing signified their intention to do so-in
which event the latter party will have
maj ority of two in the Senate. m sTs

The Roman ladies used to wear armed gall
leys in their ears. Now we see, in the
French capital, earrings made like small

last emblems of the Face-course are also like
the keys, embroidered on the corners Of
ladies' pocket handkerchief.
VELvETs AND VELvETEENs are much
worn this winter. The embroidered vel
vets are the most distinguished, and at the
same time most costly. Imagine a black
or maroon velvet dress studded over with
bees, embroidered by hand, in red, blue, or
green silk, or black bees on a violet ground
or g0lden-colOred bees on blue ground,
and then you can picture the new fancy
velvets. DrOguets, as well as velvets, are

JET DIADFMs are popular; and steel is
also a good deal worn, sometimes mingled

times ornamented at the side with enamele6
roses. violets, ETC., with chains five or si1
inches long, with rosebud, or violet

This Society held its FoRTY-NINTH
Annual Meeting at Montpelier, on Thurs
day, the 18th inst.
Hon. Joseph J. Roberts, formerly Presi-
dent Of the African Republic and now
President of Liberia College, was expect
ed to deliver the annual address, but was
detained in Boston by sickness. The US
ual public exercises were therefore defer
red. Many friends of the cause were
disappointed in their desire of seeing an6
hearing man, to whose talents and states
manship the young Republic owes SO
much of its prosperity under the blessing
OF God.
The Society held its usual business
meeting and the following named gentle
man were elected officers for the ensuing
year:
President, Hon. Daniel Baldwin, of
Montpelier
Vice Presidents, Hon. John Gregory
Smith of st. Albans,a nd Hon. Samuel III.

His Excellency John B. Page, Gen. j. w.
Phelps, Rev. VIM. S. Hazen and Rev. S.

The treasurer's account shows $S50.61
contributed TO the cause in Vermont du-
ring the last year.
The report Of the Secretary shows very
encouraging progress in Liberia, in all the
material interests of that young Republic.
Some thirteen or fourteen thousand emil
grants have gone from America to Liberia
since 1922, in 15l different vessels. In
all these voyages, carrying so many thous-
ands, there has never been the loss Of a
life by drowning or accident during the
passage.
There are in Liberia about 10000 citi-
zens of American descent, and 100000
natives within the bounds of the Republic,
already largely assimilated to civilized
and christian habits. The civilization Of
these natives is Of higher order than
that of the masses of the ancient Greeks
and Romans, for, it is a civilization that

The Christian A>sociation.

The Association met Sunday evening at
the court house TO hear the report Of the
delegates TO the Brattleboro State. Couyen-
ton. After the usual initiatory cxer-
cises, President Eldridge stated the object
of the meeting and the Rev. Mr.. Walker
remarked on the spirit shown at Brattle-
boro. There was exhibited the utmost
good feeling between the different dcnom-
nations. The great Importance OF get
ting children into the Sabbath School
was fully brought out. II was also dcci-
ded TO be beneficial TO extend the work
away from the old ccatcrs. and labor in
the back places where the people could
not attend village meetings. There were
seven associations represented from Ad-
Olson county. The one from Shorcham
was very favorable; and that OF Pittsiord
had done great work in that town.
Among other business matters the sub
iect of having county conventions was
discussed The Addison County dele
gates met here on Wednesday to arrange
the matter for this district The meeting
last night authorized the Middlcbury del
gates to ask the others to have it here, and
expressed their willingness to extend hos.
FATALITIES to those in attendance Mr.. FL
bridge suggested the propriety Of inviting
the Rutland county Associations to at
tend as they had previously favored Us
here in that way He also said that
measures were being taken to secure lee
turers for Sabbath evenings, and that
probably one would be in attenlance in
one week, either from abroad or our own
source. The other delegates who follow
ed Mr.. Walker, confirmed what ho said
and showed that truly christian spiri
pervaded the entire doings of the couyen
ton, and that great revival Throughout
the State may not unrcasonably be hoped
for by the diffusion of this feeling.

In 1860, Chas. Blackmer worked for me,
and we occasionally talked about grow

that the choicest kind for that purpose
was the Garnet Chill. Accordingly both
of us saved seed from that variety. In

From the Coneregationalist.
Education and Literature in ycr-
mont.

A singular concentration of denomina-
tional schools at and near Montpelier is
now taking place. AT Montpelier the
Methodists are erecting buildings, on an
extensive plan, for the Vermont Confer
ence Academy upon which they propose to
bestow all the patronage that has hitherto
been divided between their schools at New
bury and Springfield. At Waterbury, not
more than dozen miles to the northwest
the Freewill Baptists have begun to build,
with intent to establish school that will
compare favorably with the schools Of
other denominations. AT Barre, six miles
south, where for many years there has
been an excellent academy under Congre.
gational auspices, the Universalists are
building school and boarding houses, and
endeavoring, with much prospect of sue,
cess, to secure an ample endowment
Thus within circle Of twenty miles in
d iameter, with Montpelier at the centre

high order, under the patronage Of "the

Since Thompson died, and SAKE re.

are hardly produced at all in Vermont
There is no lack, indeed, of that mid

TIE Snow STORM OF SATURDAY.
The snow storm of Saturday was very
general over New England, but it seems
to have been more severe in several places
than with us. We find the depth of loose
snow which fell estimated by our cx-
changes to be all the way from two to
eight inches on the level. Its weight was
great and trees were borne down, and in
some instances broken by it. A very
strong north wind which accompanied the
squall did much damage in the woods ;
also damaging orchards considerably
shaking fruit from the trees violently, and
in many instances prematurely, OF
course wind-fall apples will be plenty in
the markets right away.

A NILLAINoUs OUTRAGE-TH HOUSE
OF A REPUBLICAN SToNEp.-W ednesday
night, says the Troy Times, at the illu-
mination of the residences of Republican
citizens in honor of the great and glori-
GUS victories in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Indiana, most dastardly and fendish
outrage was perpetrated by some un.
known miscreants at the house'of George
R. Seymour, No. Clinton place, Broad
way. Mr.. SIS residence was among the
number illuminated, and while the in
mates were quietly seated in the parlor
they were saluted by volley of stones
thrown in through the front windows
Fortunately no person was injured. and
only slight damage was done to the furni-
ture within. Mr.. Seymour rushed out to
secure the miscreants, but they had made
good their retreat in the darkness of the
night No cause can be assigned for this
act other than Mr.. Seymour had seen fit
to illuminate his house in testimony OF
his qualification at the results of the cleo
tions held in the states named. He is a
well known and highly respected citizen
who has not probably an enemy in Troy
and although an earnest Republican, does
not obtrude his opinions upon any one
The outrage is one of the most despicable
we ever recorded.
