VERMONT IN THE REBELLION.
Major Otis F. r. Waite, Claremont

of two hundred and lightweight pages,

AUTOGRAPHS.
From the collection of autograph let
tiers of distinguished Vermonters, for
which the Society is indebted to Hon.
Timothy R. Merrill, of Montpelier, we
select the following characteristic note
from John Mattocks, after he had been
dropped from the Bench of the Supreme
Court, to Timothy Merrill, Secretary OF
State:
"PEACHAM, Odd Dec, 1885.
Dear Sir Il send you the posthumous
works of the late Judge Mattocks, being
part of such learned reports as he Is OBJ
liged to publish after his death. The
number is few, being only twelve reports
and three dissenting opinions. These Were
copied while I was in life. The others
were written but have not been copied,
and, perhaps, may slumber, to the great
damage of the profession. But there is
enough in the 9th Volume to enlighten
the Bar.
Very respectfully,
