The gale Of the goth instant seems to have

PETTY LARcENIEs. On Saturday last man
apparently about thirty years Of age, entered the
jewelry store of Capt. A. a. Mead, on State
street, and enquired for some article, and as the
clerk stepped into the back room to procure it,
the stranger took watch which was hanging on
the repair board and slipped it into his oyereoat
pocket, and as soon afterward as convenient, took
his departure The larceny was witnessed by a
little girl who happened to be present, but did
not dare to speak Of it until after the thief had
left. The watch was an old brass watch, which
belonged to Capt Mead, who congratulates him
self ON finally having disposed of it where it will
not be apt to be returned. -rhe money drawer
Of D. Mcdonald, on Main street, was robbed
about noon on Thursday last Of about S3l. Sus-
picion points strongly in a certain direction, and
it is thought the thief will be approhended.

MAnRlKn.-In IIydepark, Nov. l6, by Rev. Mr., BAL
ley, Mr. r. G. MARSHALL OF Waterbury, and Miss NANcf
j. MONTGOMERY Of Newport.
Specialists and moralists, for ages, have been
fond of discoursng on the true nature of the mar
riage relation and doubtless much erroneous
or confused conception of this subject has pre-
vailed Many have taken altogether one-sided
view Of this delicate corrolatiye Of rights and du-
ties, conjugal and mutual. But thanks to the old
Latin tongue from which our language derives
this significant word, oo,Uugal,-yoked together
for it expresses the idea precisely, and the pre-
sumption is that the pair is not uaeqaaHy yoked'
The idea Of an unequal yoke is shocking An
evea yoke is certainly the true theory, and even
work the true practice A single fact, in connee-
ton with the consummation of this alliance, shows
that the parties in this case stood on the true
basis, namely, that of mutual concession and nc
commodation. They met on intermediate ground,
and from our knowledge of the maturity and
practical bearings of their minds, we doubt not
the amiabe relation solemnged at llydepark was
deliJeraiely preaeditaied, and means, for the flu
ture, business on the mutual aid plan.

TYsoN FuRNAcE.-From a Plymouth cores
pondent we learn that the steel works at Tyson
Farnace are now in full blast and running out five
4 70 six tons of metal per day. Mr.. Hiram pettee,
tho superintendent of the works, is an experience
cd iron worker and has eyinced great skill in get
ting up the various contryances necessary for the
Induction Of ore to steel. The results thus far
fully equal the most sanguine expectations OF
those in interest. They have very wisely made
an effort TO determine the character OF the ore
beds upon their lands by opening the old shafts
and driving in new adits. In one of these they
encountered loose mass Of ore that weighs five or
six tons-which gives them great hopes of sue
cess in finding valuable beds of ore. 1t is evident
ikom the way things are managed that this com
pany means business. -RmldRd Herald.

ANornER RAILROAD MEEriNG.-The selectmen
of Montpelier have called town meeting on
Wednesday December sth. to act upon the leave
granted by the late Legislature 10 bond in their
discretion for the construction Of the Montpelier
and Wells River railroad.
That there IS good time coming" in respect
TO new railroad facilities for Montpelier we still
firmly believe, and this may be the golden mo-
ment We trust at least that every legal voter
in town will be prcsent-that all prejudice and
luminosity may be laid aside, and that it may then
and there be demonstrated that united aud de-
tcrmined action shall inaugunto success.

PORTLAND Il OGDENsnURGH RAILROAD. - We
learn from the st. Johnsbury papers that pro-
gress is being made in respect to this road, The
line-St Johnsbury to Swanton-s about ninety
miles long Two sections, or about sixty miles have
been located-from st. Johnsbury to ilardwick,
and from Cambridge to Swanton. The interme-
diate section, between Hardwiok and Cambridge,
which is the easiest section TO construct, will be
located and contracted early in the spring, and
will probably be completed as soon as the ends,
on which is the slower and heavier work, Pro
posals for constructing the two sections located
have been received, some of them being quite as
how as the engineer estimates, and work will
be commenced this winter. Work is also being
pushed on the Portland end of the line, and it is
understood that engineers are now actively en-
saged in making She survey through the White
Mountain Notch.

f'nE LATE LEolsLAruRE.-The Montpelier cor
respondent Of the St. Johnsbury Caiedoniqu dur

take an unusually intelligent and independent
view Of menand thmgs-thus reviews the House
. There were several strong men in the House,
like Mr. Garfield OF Arlington, Mr. Wales OF
Burlington and others, but their councils failed
to have that influence over the weaker majority
that we have been accustomed 10 witness in that
body. Mr Gleed Of Morrist0wn, took promi-
nent position as a debater in the earlier part OF
the session, but as the end drew near, Mr. Grover
Of Wells Mr. liinckley of Chelsea, Mr. Grout
Of Barton, and Mr. Bisbee Of Newport, were list
ened TO with quteas much attention and apparent
interest while at the close of the session, think
Nj. Joyce Of Rutland was regarded as quite
the more agreeable and forcible speaker, and il
mistake not the impression which be left upon
the MEMBERS he will be the unanimous choice OF
the " old members Of the next Legislature, ior
the speakers chair, which has been 50 acceptably
fied the past two sessions by Hon. George W
Grandey Of Nergennes."
Well-deseryed allusion is also thus made to
Gov. Washbum
In the executive chamber, the freemen of the
state have great cause to congratulate themselves
upon the choice of one who may truly be styled
q model Governor. interchangeable in his lab0rs u
promote the best interests OF the state, watchiul
fDr the welfare of the people, prompt and system
attic in all the aihirs of his department, and with
al possessing easy and graceful dignity, there
none to regret that the executive chair is now oc
eupied by his Excelency, PETER I. WAsnBuRN.
