PAST GovERNoRs OF MASsACHUs-
ETTs.-The journal says of the twenty
six Governors of Massachusetts since
the adoption of the Constitution, there
are but six living, and by the death of
Hon. Levi Lincoln, Hon. George :.
Boutwell, il the senior Ex-Governor of
the State by date of service.
CoRRECrIoN.-We ought in justice to
state that the items copied by US from
the Montreal Nc,Cs, concerning the Fee
mans, sent from this place, were sent to
the Montreal gazette, and appeared first
in that paper, from which they were
copied by the Neus, "for the fun of the
thing" probably.
JUNE TRAINING.-The University
Company, commanded by Capt. Car
penter; Company a, 1st Regiment,
Capt. Mnoahan, and a section oil light
artillery, will hold Il June Training
in Burlington tomorrow. st. Adams
military companies are not on Il war
footing, and the day will be usually
peaceablc we presume.
MORE NEW WALKs.-A new walk
has been completed on the north side of
Diamond Avenue, from Main street to
England street, much to the delight of
I. 4. . NO,
work of making a new walk on the
south side of Lake Street, of Il proper
width, is being carried on, we are glad
to state, and we hope that it will be
soon completed. The walk in front of
Mr. Driscoll's new block has been a
man trap about rs long us good ma
ture can endure it, or good sense re-
quires.
DIR. WIN. w. FLETCHER, of Concord,
n. H., has to-day made his fifth ship
ment of live Black Bass from this place
to \. IL. for the purpose of stocking the
waters Of that State, under the direction
of the fish commissioners. They were
caught with hook in the Bay and are
transported in a large open box with
Stats across near the top on which are
placed large pieces of ice and over all
Il coarse cloth.
The THEATRE.-The attendance Sat
urday evening was larger than Oh the
evening previous, and the play, the
Drunkard, was acted in as perfect man
ncr as could be expected in the country.
All the company sustained themselves
well in their several parts, and especial
ly noticeable was the acting of Mr.. Stet-
son, as Edward Middleton, and Anna
lowering as Mary Wilson.
To night is the last appearance of this
troupe in st. Adams and they deserve a
rousing house. The play Uncle Toms
Cabin, is familiar to our readers, and we
doubt not it will be well presented
From here this company go to Montpe
lier and we can assure the people of that
town that they will find them deserving
of their patronage.
THE "BURGLARY SELL.n-Our VEN
cradle contemporary up street, in his
elaborate article concerning our sac
count of a bold attempt at robbery in
the store of Messrs. Shattuck & Strana-
han, on Lake street, on the night of the
eth, says:
"The young men in the store, in view
of the rather exposed condition that
night, were chatting about the opportu-
nityit afforded for burglary, and being
partially overheard by some one con-
nected with the Transcript Office were
inquired of by him. Tipping the wink
to the others, one of them related a
monstrous Munchausenism which the
credulous inquisitor delightedly took
home as solemn truth, and which was
as credulously swallowed by the eek
perienced editors"
The "factso i'm the foregoing, which
were "elicited'' on enquiry of Police
Officer Sweet, and at the scene of opera
tionsn go to show thai there was de-
liberate attempt to impose upon "some
one connected with the TRANSCRIPT
Office" Whetherthe perpetrators ofsuch
a"selP' will realize large fortune out
of it can as readily be answered by our
readers as by us.
HANDSOME TRAIN.-As we passed
through the depot in this place to-day,
we noticed very fine looking train
made up for the noon trip South and
East and so clean did it appear that
we made an inside examination of it.
We were informed that all the cars of
the train had been newly painted and
fitted up, and in passing through them
we noticed, as one could not help no.
