Editor Of I{erdld. One of the members
of the ute Council of Censors, that body
having killed itself by the action of the
majority of its members on the woman
question: being on his way home, worn
out by his arduous labors, and feeling dis
graced by said action, had forgotten his
troubles in "a quiet slumber, during which
peaceful state of somnolence the wind
lifted his hat from his head and waited it
gracefully through the open window.
Seeing the conductor approach, the hatless
councillor said to him that he had occa-
sion to criticise the management of the
Road for not finding hats for gentlemen
so unfortunate as to lose that article on
the cars.
My dear SIR replied the conductor,
'you have no occasion for criticism. We
have a hat on board
"Ah :" said the hatless, II will thank
you to loan it to me until arrive in Rut-
land"
at is on the engine" replied the imper-
turbable conductor"
1t began to creep through the brain of
the councillor that the stupid fellow
meant the that which surmounted the
elegant smoke-stack.
'Do you think it would SCOT ~ asked
the Censor.
Most completely was the sa me i'm
perturbable reply.
II think it altogether too sootable for a
person in my humble POSITION rem arked
the Censor, "and l will excuse you if you
do not produce it,
The conductor moved away, mumbling
something to the effect that Censor was
the most difficult man to SCOT he had Sc en-
in long time.
The name OF this atrocious conductor.
is withheld for personal reasons. But if
any one is curious to see him, we would
say that he runs out of Rutland on the
$50 train to Burlington, and returns in
the afternoon. Avoid him
As for the Censor, such was his plight
when he came off the cars, with his hair
disheveled by the wind, that he was mis-
taken for one of the lunatic members of
the Council who voted for Female Suf-
frage, and some thought a lunatic asylum
had sprang a leak, but being soon attired
in fine hat handed him by Mr.. Haven,
the Treasurer of the Road, he was at
once recognized, and was highly COM
mended for his vote on the Suffrage ques-
ton.

You wouldn't believe it, would you, seeing this
squalor and woe!
l remember the brown old parsonage, and how,
when child, sat
In the high-backed pew of the little church
ab that was SO long ago!
So long and wore blue ribbons because my
eyes were blue,
And the tall, dark deacons kissed me, and ten
derby smoothed my hair;
And Alice--she was head singer, and glorious
singer, too
Would take me up in the organ loft, though nc
organ ever there.
But the wonderful great bass vol, and the beauti
full singing flute
And Johnny Beranger's fiddle that's wha
they called it then
Made me so happy old Uncle Ben, with his
Sunday velvet suit,
And his mighty bow, and his braided hair, was
king OF the singing men.

Why did he let me live to feel this ruin OF sou

Oh, if had been dead for eighteen years, undo

WEDNESDAY, Aug 4.
Mr.. Dewey from the Judiciary Commit
tee, offered the following article of amend
ment:
SEC l. The Judges of the Supreme Court shall
be appointed by the Governor by and with the
voice and consent of the Senate.
SEC. @ The term of office of the Judges of the
Supreme Court shall be six years.
Pfori0ed, That under the first appointment
made in pursuance of this section, one third OF
the whole number of Judges shall hold their office
for the period OF six years. third for the period
of four years, and one third for the period of two
years.
SEC. 8. Whenever the number of the Judges Of
the Supreme Court shall exceed six, the Legisa-
ture shall fix the time when the term of office of
the Judges in excess OF that number shall COM
menee.
Mr. Redfeld suggested that the provi-
sion should be made more definitely as to
the time of expiration of the term of
office of the judges.
Mr.. Dewey said the article was SO
drawn as not to give to any one Cover
nor the appointment of all the Judges in
any one year, and under the first appoint
ment he would have the Governor make
the appointment of the Judges for two,
four and six years respectively.
Mr.. Colburn moved to recommit the ar
ticle tor amendment SO that the Cover
nor shall make appointment for the first
two Judges for six years, the second two
for four years, and the third two for two
years, so that it may be specific and say
in words just what we wish it to express.
Mr.. Dewey thought the article suffici-
emily explicit without the change pro-
posed by the gentleman from Windsor.
The article was then re-committed to
the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr.. cleveland called up the Minority
report of the Special Committee on chang.
ing the mode of amending the Constitu-
ton, and proposed the following substi.
tute for the article submitted with the
minority report:

thereof the words ''first Wednesday,
which was disagreed to.

HEALDvILLE, Aug. 6, 1863.
Editors Rutland Herald Since the last PAM
phlet upon the proposed railroad routes between
Rutland and Woodstock was published, there has
been complete change Of sentiment as TO the
location OF the canal. Dewey, Chaffee, DIR. Wood
house, Mclean & Robbins, and the Hoskissons,
are negotiating for ten Thousand acres OF land in
and about Headville. They propose to run the
canal from West Rutland to Chippenhook and
thence across "Wcst Mountain" to East Claren-
don, and 80 down along the line Of the Rutland &
Burlington Railroad TO Healdville, which is TO be
the grand eastern terminus of the canal. The
canal is to be built wholly by private subscription
without bonding any Of the towns through which
it passes but 1t is expected that the owners Of the
land over which it passes will waive all claims TO
| land damages.
The projectors expect to lay out a town large
enough to cover the entire ten thousand acres OF
land about to be purchased by them, and intend TO
make Healdvllls 'the Crowned and Jeweled City
OF the Green Mountains" They contemplate the
/ erection Of a mammoth hotel next spring neal
/ Hoskssons Mill, where the TIMBER for the same
1 Is to be sawed. Inc motel Is 10 nave an ODstlfa-
tory five hundred feet high, so that the entire
Healdville route can be surveyed therefiom. The
guests of the hotel are to be taken from the fooI
TO the observatory By hosting apparatus pro-
4 PEELED by power from Hoskissons Mill. No whisky
is to be drank upon the premises, but the water
from Fenn's Green Mountain Spring, is TO be car
RED INTO every room in the house by means OF an
iron pipe, aud furnished the guests gratuitously.
As soon as the hotel is completed there is TO be
sale of lots the proprietors receiving every Other
lot.
There is great excitement in Plymouth ovei
this project, and il Is confidently expected that
the vast resources Of this town will be fully de.
veloped.

TIE SOLAR ECLIPsE. OF all
the celestial phenomena visible to man
kind, eclipses of the sun and moon are
among the more interesting and beauti-
full, having long ago ceased to be regard
ed, among civilized nations, as objects Of
terror excited by the superstitious notions
of a more ignorant age. The eclipse
about to take place is one of the few re-
markable eclipses of the present century,
and astronomers are arranging themselves
along the line of its central path in order
to make full observations of all the phe-
nomena attending it. 1t is return of
the total eclipse of July %, 1851, and
will again return on the morning of the
10Th of August 1887, when it will be in.
visible in the United States, but visible
in the northeastern part Of Germany, in
the southern part of Russia, and in
the greater part of Central Asia. The
present return Of the eclipse viii, take
place this Saturday evening, and will be
visiblel in Vermont during the greater
part of its duration. A hasty computa-
ton of its elements gives the time of it's
beginning, as seen from Woodstock, VT,
ct hours IA minutes in the afternoon.
and the time Of greatest obscuration At 6
hours II minutes. The next large eclipse
of the sun visible in Vermont viii happen
on the morning of the 10th Of September,
1875, and win be annular along the line Of
its central phase. But the most semarks-
bic solar eclipse, visible in New England.
will take place on the morning of the 28th
Of May, A. d. 1900; and win be return
Of that to take place on the 18th of NAY.
1852. Though eclipses Of the sun occur
very frequently, those visible at any one
place are Of rare occurrence; and still
more rare are those that are total or snnu.
