Election of Censors.

The vote in this town for oensors was
very light, as it will be throughout the
State. The number was l07, and all for
the ticket nominated at Montpelier
Seven years ago the total vote was but II,
and the vote was of course larger on
Wednesday from the fact of the election
being held in this village, where larger
number of voters finding themselves more
accessible to the polls, dropped in and
voted. The only noticeable feature, was
the unanimous expression, that "the
thing ought to be abolished" In Poult-
ney, only nine votes were cast, while in
Rutland with some 1900 voters, only fve
were cast All the returns received

Of getting sharp one, will raise the clevis

THE CITY ASTIR.
Beautiful Night.

Last night the moon shone resplendenuy
from a serene and cloudless sky. 1t was
the first beautiful night We have had for
many, and in such contrast was it with the
darkness, the clouds, and mist, and gloom
that have enveloped the city for SO long,
that the people seemed to enjoy it with ex-
hilarating spirits. Large numbers we're on
the street, promenadlng or visiting, al
though the air was sharp and crisp. The
show windows of the stores and confec-
tioneries blazed with the illumination of
gas lights, and sparkled and glittered with
the display of goods, wares, merchandise,
trinkets, toys, etc, with which they were
filed. The stars glowed above like golden
jewels bestudding the vast empyrean, and
dim snow circles no longer trimmed the
moons eye to make it look weepingly and
pityingly down through chilling fog-folds
that have gathered everywhere over the
damp and drenched earth. Peerless as
Night Queen, she rode through the heavens
and shone down with splendor once again.
Everybody seemed enjoying themselves.
Many of the stores had groups of friends
trading, conversing or shopping. Crowds
gathered at the hotels Music was heard
floating off here and there upon the even
ing air. The street cars were filed and
the spirit of the approaching Christmas
seemed to hover over the city and TO infuse
itself into everybody. The places Of amuse-
ments were well attended, and occasionally
the quick burst of fre-crackers told that
the Juvenile portion of the population had
already begun the Inauguration of Christ
mas. Hacks and vehicles were whirling
and rafting through the streets in all direc-
tons, with parties of various descriptions
bent on enjoyment and recreation accord
ing to their own inclinations. We trust
that we may have a continuation Of such
nights after the protracted bad weather
with which we have been afflicted.

somewhat HealthsuI Indication.

During the last few days, the year draw
ing now rapidly to a close q number Of
landlords, and property holders have in
dicated a willingness to come down in the
matter of rents to more reasonable
and living rates. They have come to this
conclusion, being convinced that their very
exorbitant demands would not be complied
with. The number of vacant houses IN the
city admonishest them of the wisdom, not to
say the absolute necessity of this course.
The general reduction in rents, however,
is not near so much, nor are they SO nU-
merous. as the demand of the times, and
the absolute and intrinsic value of the
property for rent, justify The decision
to ask only reasonable prices for houses,
should have been arrived at early in the
season and adhered to. Had this been the
case a number of persons having dwellings
to rent, which are yet vacant, would now
have good tenants, besides preventing the
vexations of removals. They will have to
recede still further from their exorbitant
demands for rent, or there will be q large
number of houses vacant in 1870, which
might otherwise be readily occupied.

CoNFEDENATE PRISONER,

Long since we read the announcement
that the last Confederate prisoner had had
the doors of his dungeon thrown open by
United States Executive clemency. 1t is
with surprise, therefore, that we read the
following from the Montgomery Mail:
''Col. c. c. Tew, formerly Colonel of the
ID North Carolina Regulars, who was dan
gerously wounded at BOonsbOro, Md. and
was reported as dead, and was given
up as dead by his friends and rela-
tiyes, is, we learn, alive and a pris-
oner at Dry Tortugas. The person from
whom this information was obtained is
Mr.. Kelly, formerly of the 1st South
Carolina regiment, who was prisoner at
Dry Tortugas. NJ K. has papers from
the Adiutant of his regiment shOwingthat
he was a prisoner at Dry TOrtugas, and
was once shot trying to make his es-
cape. Mr.. K was pardOned by Presi-
dent johnson. At the commencement of
the war Col. Tew was was an officer of
the United States army, in command of
Fort Macon, near Newbem, n. c., and
surredered it to the State or Confederate
authorities, which is the supposed rea-
son for his imprisonment at TOrtugas.
He was noted in the Confederate armya
a brave, gallant and noble officer. His
friends in North Carolina will no doubt
be gratified to learn that he is alive,
though confined in the miserable prison
of Tortugas.n
