The LAUNCH OF THE CAKES ANEs.-We
have but little in the way Of details to add
to our yesterdays accodnt of the launch OF
the new Lake Steamer.
Among the gentlemen present, on board OF
her, were Gov Page. Col. G. \. Merrill,
Supt. of the Rutland Railroad Lit. Gov.
Underwood, Peter Butler Of Boston, Judge
Small6y, Mr. 5. ". Foster, Of Knowlton, P.
O., Messrs. futile, Clark and Cain Of the
Rutland press, Capt VIM. Gilmore, West
Rutland, and n L. Davis, Master Mechan-
ic. II. f. Chamberlin. Master Of Transpor-
tation and J. NJ. Haven, Treasurer Of the
Rutland railroad.
The " christening Of the boat took place,
according to the regular custom. Miss Proc
tor. daughter OF Capt. n. B. Proctor, the
builder Of the steamer, had taken her pl &C
at the bow, armed with bottle of Cham
payne. which as the boat moved off into the
water, she broke upon the cutwater, while
Gov. Page. who stood by her side, announced
E. name this boat the Oaks Ames," adding
remark to the effect that - the mystery
was now solved. "
The mystery alluded to by the Governor
was of course that connected with the own
crship Of the boat and where she was to run.
1t has been stoutly maintained that she
was to run opposition to the Champan
Transportation Co. but happening to know
that application was first made TO that Com
panv to take the contract for constructing
her. we never credited the rumor. Her own
ers now acknowledge that she Is TO run in

This Association held its ''oeaty.drsi seui-an-
nual session at Huntington, on the 9TH and 9Th
inst The attendance from different parts Of the
country was very general, and several visitors
from abroad we're present.
The President, \. E Leayenwyrth Of Hines
burgh, called the meeting to order, read the 18th
chapter Of Isaiah, and prayer was offered by Rev.
Mr. Perrin Of IIineshurgh. After music by the
choir, Rev Mr. Frost of Huntington, in behalf
Of the citizens Of the place, welcomed the associa-
ton to the inequalities Of the town, and the
President in behalf Of the Association responded.
Mr. J. ". Peters Of Hinesburgh, then read an
essay ON 81 The Laws Of Progress in regard to
Teaching" He showed that progress was essen
tial that it would not do to act in the school
room on the maxim ''Let well enough alone,
bat that there, as in every occupation, pro-
gress was indispensable to excellence. The
teacher should aim at something nobler and
grander than simply to secure a compensation for
his labor he should remember he is training the
children under his care for high and responsible
stations The discussion which followed was
opened by Rev Mr. Ferrin, who claimed that the
child commenced his education fromhis entrance
into the world his power Of thinking commences
at a very early age, and is Of great Importance
that the principles by which the progress of this
| power is developed in the various stages Of edu-
cation be understood. Every child should have
the intellectual food adapted to his abilities,
hence the necessity of the various courses of
study.
Mr. Cilley of Williston related an anecdote,
showing the necessity of having scholars made to
know the reasons Of facts and the nature Of
principles, instead of committing to memory
facts, definitions and rules of which they have
no definite ideas
Mr.. Chaplin Of Jericho also remarked on the
importance of having children taught to think

Our OLDEST LUMBER FIm.-We learn that
we were slightly in error in stating in re
cent article that the Hunterstown Lumber
Co. was the oldest lumber concern in Bur
lington. \ friend informs us that in Oct.
1852, c. BLoDGETT & Son landed their first
boat load Of pine lumber, from the mills of
Messrr Gilmer & Co, Canada West. At
that time Messrs. Bigelow & Peterson, till
then the only lumber men here, kept a retail
yard, but discontinued the business not long
after. The Hunterstown Lumber Co., landed
their first lumber in 1855. Mcssrs. Blod-
