struc.ion. The President has encouatcre
hundred and sixty or seventy very oil
stiuate fellows in Congress, and is /
about the same position of the 9th jurc
who complained to the court of his eloSe
stupid and obstinate comrads. The DENT

but you won't though. You will content
yourselves with "Old Rye for fluid, the
remainder of your days, and leave blood

Hon. F. P Walton, the oldest editor
Ia Vermont, has sold his office and press,
and announces that bis formal connection

Msron. We do not know who is to be
his successor, and until We do, at least,
We shall regret the change. In an inter-
eourse Of twenty years, in various lela-
tiops, We have experienced from Mr.. Wal
ten and sis family, that Uniform kindness,
ArbaIity, and VIC may say, Gycp forbear-
encs, which never fails to win from honest
hearts the reward Of strong attachment.

we would call the attention Of our
readers to the card of Chas c Dodge, in
sarance agent for the Farmers Mutual Co.
NJ Dodge was long an agent for the old
Mutual, but for some reason has left the
employ OF that company and "gone in"
for the Farmers He is doing brisk
business, and many are sarreudering their t
policies in the old Mutual and taking pol \
lees in the Farmers at very much less
rates. Dodge. is an energetic, competent q
zsn. and the "0ld Mutual" did tadly
when it allowed him to 60 out of its ser.
vice, VIC fear, for certain it is that he ia
upon large numbers who have Q
been menbers Of that company for many =
years, to go into the Farmers. and his ar. 0
Guments seem good.
We have again to thank Senators
Morrill, and Edmunds, and Representa-.
ives Woodbridge and Smith, for docu.
nsnts--Judge Poland seems to have for. |
gotten but we mean to wake him up one
II these days by placing him on our tick.
