Temperance.


To the friends of Temperance in Yer
mont:
The Executive Committee of the Yer
mont State Temperance Society have ap-
pointed Rev. ID. H. Ranney, of West
Brattleboro, their General Agent, with
instructions to cordially cooperate with
all existing organizations having the
same ends in view; to rerder assistance
in making more efficient efforts for the
suppression Of the rum traffic +; and es-
pecially to arouse public sentiment to
sense of existing dangers, and try to re-
vive the spirit of voluntary reform which
was so efiectual in the beginning of the
temperance reformation. Mr.. Ranney
will carry into this work an energy and
enthusiasm worthy of the undertaking,
tempered with discretion and business
tact which will give him success, if he
receives the sympathy and cooperation
which Is TO be expected from The friends
of temperance in the State, to whom he
is referred and recommended.
G. M. WILLARD, Chairman.

We have received the March number
of the Manufacturer and Builder, new
magazine of industrial progress, which
aims to present faithful mirror of all
the inventions and improvements of the
day. 1t is ably edited, its illustrations
are iine its typographical execution is
unexceptionable and its appearance is
creditable in all respects. We believe it
will be of value not only to manufactures
and practical operatives but to all that
numerous ciuss who wish to keep them
selves informed realitive TO the great in
dustrial interests Of our country. Henry
Ward Beecher contributes an article to
each number. 1t is published mounthly
by Western & Co, 81 Park Row, n. Y,

REINsTATED.-It will be recollected
that, in one of our New England navy
yards, pending the impeachment trial of
President johnson, young Scotchman,
an assistant naval engineer, named Geo.
B. Sawyer, said ia the hearing of his
comrades that Mr.. johnson was liable
to impeachment, and ought to be i'm
peached, and he hoped and believed the
Senate would impeach and remove him."
One of those who heard him dared him
to repeat the remark, and he did repeat
it, stating that he had merely expressed
an opinion, and he did not think any one
in the service could be punished for such
an expression. He was reported and
tried by naval court martial, sentenced
to be reprimanded, suspended from rank
and duty one year, and placed on half
pay waiting orders. This sentence was
carried out and the young engineer re-
signed his position in October last and
returned home. A recent order from
the Navy Department, by Secretary Bo-
RE, revoked the above order and restor-
ed Sawyer to his fuli rank and pay and
on being informed of the facts President
Grant at once gave it his approval. Mr..
Sawyer is man of high character, and
has many friends who congratulate him
on the act Of justice done him.

MARRYING IN Fun, BUT welded IN
EARNEsr.-The Montpelier Journal says
that, not thousand miles from White
River Junction, a serio-comic affair oc-
Cured, which made the parties to the
joke laugh out of the other side of their
mouths. A correspondent, who describes
the affair, says:
"They have got up the funniest snarl
across the river that you ever heard OF.
At party last week, at one--s, after
exhaustiag the ordinary games, and
wanting something new, mock marriages
were proposed. Accordingly names were
drawn by lots, and four couples stood up
to be married. The ceremony was per-
formed, and they duly pronounced man
and wife, by the laws of the State and
before these Witnesses Afterward, they
ascertained the man officiating was JUS
tioe of the peace, and the parties were
legally married! One of them, Prof.
-, of I Seminary, expects lady
up from below in about a fortnight to
marry him, and nearly every one invol-
we'd is expecting to be married right
other gentleman to a lady
below-and they feel like death. They
have searched all the law books and con-
suited authorities far and near, and eve
rything only proves the knot still tight
err. The Justice has been fined $50 for
each couple. He says he is from anoth-
er county, and cannot do business here,
and supposed the marriages not to be le-
gal 1t is certainly funny scrape. and
made still funnier by the fact that all
the parties belong to the upper ten
The best opinion is that they are legally
married, and can only be divorced by
the Legislature

ABSENCE OF THE PRESIDENTS NORTH
ERA correspondent giving the Incl

President Grants father and brother,
Orville Grant, merchant in Chicago,

the Inauguration. No." he said " /

= In a suit for breach of promise of
marriage, on trial in the Superior Court,
New York, one of the points in the plain
tits case is that one night the defendant
found a dry wish bone and promised that
they should pull it. The bone broke,
each held piece, the centre part fell to
the floor. The plaintiff alleges that this
was interpreted by defendant that they
should be married soon. The defendant
says of the bone story that all he remark
ed was, 2" 1t seems we are to be married
at the same time; wouldn't you like it ?"

The Potato TRADE.-In Maine the
potato trade never was so brisk as it is
now-farmers bringing the tubers to the
central markets from distances running
from three to forty miles. The prices
are from sixty to sixty-eight cents per
bushel, and they are mostly shipped for
the Boston market. The supply is I'M
usually large, and the quality much bet
ter than earlier in the season.

The New York Times says that
twice within the past few days bags of
mail matter, which had dropped from
the wagons between the depots and the
post office, have been picked up in the
streets. The Times calls this inexcus-
able carelessness," and most people will
agree with it.

THE Press IN CONGRESS press
is getting to be highly honored at Wash
ington. The Vice President was once a
western editor and the Senate, not sat
isfied with thus having its permanent
presiding officer from the press, has elect
ed as President pro tompore Mr., Antho-
ny, the editor of our excellent contem-
porary, the Providence Journal. The
new Secretary of the Senate also, Mr..
Gorham, was formerly connected with
the California press, succeeding Mr.. For
ney, whose journalistic career is well
known. The chief executive clerk of
the Senate, d. w. c. Clarke, is also an
old editor. The House has elected Mr..
Blaine, once Maine editor, for Speaker.
and Mr.. MCPHERSON, Pennsylvania ed
itor, for Clerk while Minnesota Jour
nalist is Postmaster, and others of the
fraternity occupy other places. These
men are more conspicuous than formerly,
but it is doubtful if they are more honor
ably and useiully employed than when
they drove the quill in their own sane
tums.
