Some writer says We come AT

Youth and pleasure go hand in hand

One can take the richness of life with

To know one is capable Of inspiring
others with admiration, to attract ard

Nearly every one sets out with high
hopes. The voyage of life looks fair at
the commencement-the sky is clear, the
wind balmy, the shores bright with vivid
pictures, and the syren, Hope, lulls you
on and on with glowing visions. By and

overladen barks go numbering along in

Mineral Springs

M Editor '-Seyeral articles which
have appeared in the HERALD, as well as
IN some other papers, within the last
three or four months, have awakened very
general interest in regard to the newly
discovered mineral springs in Middie,own,
which Is nestled among the hills of Rut.
land county. in Vermont
When thosc articles appeared il was a
new thing, and the eases mentioned were
so marvellous, almost incredible, it is no
wonder that by many the whole thing
was regarded and treated us ~ humbug-
a bubble that would soon purr. --l ,rnv.
to be-nothing. Yet some. aud their
number is daily increasing, finding that
1t promised just what was greatly needed
a remedy for many ills which our best
physicians could seldom reach, aud suffer
ing under these same diseases, were dis
posed to give these waters a thorough
trial, Andluow all, both sick and wcll,
are anxious TO know how they stand the
test of time, 1t is safe TO say'that hithcr-
TO the virtue attributed TO this water has
lost nothing by the test, but every month
and week, and almost every day, confirms
as fact what at first was regarded with SO
much doubt, that divine providence has
prepared and developed in our own green
hills remedy for the alienation of scrof-
ulous, canoerous and other terrible ills
Since the water has been nnplyz,d and
found to contain in reality the properties
which its use had already indicated, and
in such proportions as to produce yalu-
able remedial agent, its u,e is largely in
creased and is constantly increasing II
is estimated that from five to fifteen bar
rels per day are carried away into neigh
boring towns, in vessels OF every kind and
dimension, from half pint bottles to forty
gallon casks, besides the numerous cases
of bottles daily ordered, and sent 10y the
proprietors, to distant citit- and towns
not only in neighboring States, but also
TO the far West.
As far as is asccrtaiued, those relieved
remain SO. and their number is constantly
increasing, while the number of those re-
ceiying help for cancerous and scroiulous

at the Town Hal, West Rutland, last
evening, for the purpose OF confcrenc,
and companion Of views upon the sutjec'
of voting aid in the construction Of tn,
Rutland and Woodstock railroad, and il
explanation Of the route, its PLAN and
what has already been done towards the
building Of the chain Of roads from Port

| duty of the town Of Rutland in refcrenc,
to the matter. The meeting was presided
over by WilIitm Gilmore, Esq Remark

Rutland. The representative men Of that
part of the town were present, and a

OBITrARY.-We regret to learn Of the
sudden DEATH Of heart disease, OF George
P. Hayes, Esq, one OF the prominent citi-
zens Of Windsor While in attendance
at the gregational church on Sunday
morning last, he fell to the floor and cx-
pired instantly. He had had for several
years premonitions OF the disease. Mr..
Hayes was for several years mail agent
from Springfield, Mass, 70 Newport, Vt.
He was widely known and most highly
esteemed by his fellow-townsmen and
friends. He was kind, genial, enter
prising man, whose loss will be deplored
by the people Of his town and his many
friends in all sections. He was man of
thought and culture, and for few years
has given much attention to local history,
and made several valuable contributions
to Vermont history. Last year he pre-
pared lecture "On Vermont" which he
delivered in several places, and is said TO
have been one of the most elaborate yet
concise views Of our early history which
has as yet been presented to the public.
We trust it may now be published. His
loss is not only serious to his immediate
community but to the whole State, for Yer
mont has few men of moro solid character
and genuine worth than was George P.
Hayes. He leaves family.
