PERsoNAL.-The Rochester Chronicle
says Hon. Matthew Hale's opening speech
in the Albany Il Susquehanns railroad
case, is universally spoken of a. one of the
most brilliant forensic efforts ever made
at the bar in that district. His argument
occupied nearly two hours, and was
listened to with great attention, not only
by the court and bar but by "a large
audience outside the bar. 1t will greatly

HuBBARDToN.-A very pleasant affair
came off at the hotel in Hubbardtou, on
Christmas eve, and though the people are
widely scattered, the Christmas tree which
was Utterly loaded, drew together good
ly number. 1t was judged there were 200
present. Notwithstanding the hard times
for money, the presents were both numer-
oHs and valuable, such as furs, cspe,
cloaks, dresses, watches, boots, pants, gal
ters, fur gloves, mittens, albums, books,
work baskets, one bed-quilt, trinkets, toys
and candy, to the great delight Of the
juvenile part of the assembly. One per.
son was remembered to the tune of $50
in greenbacks. Much credit is due Mr..
and Mrs. Webster, who kindly and freely
opened their house to all.

THE RUTLAND HERALD
The Chinese Question.

Senator Williams, Of Oregon, has intro
duced bill for the prevention of Coolit
immigration into the United States, with
the design, not as it would seem, OF cheek
ing voluntary Chinese immigration, Da.
of putting an end to the importation %
dissolute women and of parties bound oy
odious contracts previous to their embark
alton. The California papers have recent
" published highly sensational articles
at the arrival in San Francisco OF cargoes
Of Chinese women, and of their being sold
in the shambles to the highest bidder.
Other Senators from the Pacific coast
urve the necessity of Legislation for the
reoulstion of Chinese immigration, but
seem to join issue with the Senator from
Oregon as to the exactness of his infor-
nation about Coolie slavery in California
They protest against undue interference
with the liberty of the individual and bear
testimony to the character, enterprise
and general usefulness of many of the
Chinese laborers 1t is manifest that nc
measure for the radical suppression Of the
immigration of these people, or even fol
imposing upon it any unusual conditions
can be enacted without thorough ventila
ton and protest.

PLEASANT AFFAIR AT BRANDON
On Christmas evening about 81 O'Clock,
Mr.. Spraxue. Pre-id. of the Brandon
Manufacturing Coup lny, assembled the
men in the employ vi the company, and
told them that the compsny had watched
with pleasure the forts of the men to
insure the success Of the company, and
that they desired to make . present to
one Of the men in each department, and
that in order to avoid the jealousy that
might result from the choice being made
by the officers, he desired the men to
choose by vote whom they desired TO have
it, whom they thought most worthy to
receive it from their devotion TO the best
interests Of the company. Mr.. sprsgue
told the men in presenting TO them the
little award, that the company would be
pleased to give one TO each man in their
employ, but this was impossible. They
had taken this means to show the men
that they appreciated their efforts for the
company. He said he hoped that it would
prove an incentive to the men to 20 ON
and do their duty in the future as they
had done in the past In the ( oundry
department the men chose Levi s. Sewell,
TO receive the very handsome silver hunt
ing watch presented by the Brandon
Manufacturing Company at the hands OF
the President, Mr.. N. L. Sprague, and
VIM. w Reynolds, Superintendent. The
% department included all the first floor
Of the main building. The watch was
presented in this department to Warren
II. Baldwin. The Sd department, or the
sealing room and packing room, made
choice Of JAS. r. Taylor. The 4th depart
ment, or machine room, chose Edward Fl.
Webster. The whole thing was q COM
plete surprise to the men, and they were
unable to say thing for a moment. AZ
ter recovering their surprise they &C.
knowlcdged the gift in few appropriate
words, and thanked the company for their
kind remembrance, aud the men for their
good will toward them. The aft, air passed
off very pleasantly, and will be long re-
mem bered by those interested.
