MIDDLEBURY.-Am member q the Junior
class in Middlebury College has just been
expelled for violating the College law,
which forbids matrimony to the students.
Mr.. Edward Richardson has been
indicted into the Post Office at Middle
bury as clerk, to the qualification of a
large number of the citizens.
Among the new things to be seen on
the common at Middlebury is new
town pump, and decided Improvement
on the old arrangement.
Rev. Joseph Cooke spoke last Sabbath
week in the Congregational pulpit. The
subject of his morning discourse was
Conscience" and that of the afternoon
"The efficacy of Prayer" Both discourses
were powerful, instructive and entertain

church, at present, and in the prayer
meetings, as shown by many anxious in
quirers, and the feeling promises to ripen
into revival.

Alabama Claims and Politics.

T., sora quarters q movement is on foot
n make the Alabama claims political
ouestion. 1t is matter of question
whether this is a judicious pohcy
to be pursued. While there may -
but little disagreement as to our risnls u
,ha demand that should bemade ON Eng
land in reference to the settlement u 'ne
claims, vet whether it Is wise 10 ni"Ae
a., ,bs basis of a political movement
horo bv irritating the English people,
and percipitating collision which might
prove. to say the least, decidedly uncom-
Portable, and which would again unsettle
orr national finances, is a phase of the
subject that should be well considered.
There are certain leading Republican po-
liticans who seem determined not to al
low the Alabama claims question to re-
main at rest, but to make as much capital
as possible out of the attitude assumed by
Great Britain. 1t is rumored that move
ment has been agreed on at Washington
to have this question become one OF the
leading issues in tho next fall elections,
forcing the De nocratic party to follow in
the wake of the Republicans, and approve
of their course or to take sides with the
English. 1t is said this plan has been dis
cussed pretty freely among prominent po-
liticau7 at tile National Capital, and the
initial steps are to be taken in Pennsyl-
sylyania. Col. Forney and Gov. Curtin,
are among its strongest advocates, and
. will endeavor to make this question one OF
the leading planks in the Republican
platform of that State. Those who are
directing the movement feel positive that
it will prove successful in materially
strengthening the Republican party and
produce good moral effect
1t is understood that Gov Curtin will
take occasion at the banquet to be giv9n
him by the Union League of Philadel-
phia, previous to his departure for Rus
STA, to assume a decided position on this
question, and discuss very fully our fela
ton with England. 1t Is asserted there
are good reasons to believe that Senator
Sumner is heartily in sympathy with the
movement, and approves the policy max
ing the Alabama question leading issue
at the coming elections in various States
While we are as heartily in favor OF
pushing our claims against England to
their full extent until satisfaction Is made,
from the present aspect Of the case the

THE AMERICAN HOUSE AT SARATOGA
SPRINGs.-Probably no hotel out of New
England will offer a better home for a
New England man, than the American
house at Saratoga Springs, kept by w. FL.
MCaffery, once popular conductor on
the Rensselaer, and Saratoga r. r. This
house is near Congress Hall and Congress
Spring. 1t has large airy rooms, neat in
every nook and corner, with intelligent

1t is currently reported that the err
ratio James Fisk, Jr., Of the Erie Railroad
notoriety, is going crazy and that the
trouble is hereditary. His movements are
certainly very eccentric, and have attract-
ed much attention Recently they have
become more marked One of his last
manifestations is to attend in person the
starting of his North River steamboat. On
these occasions he appears conspicuously
on board the boat attired in full uniform
of Commodore of the Navy, shining in
gold braid from head to heel. He is ac-
companied occasionally by young lady
also decked out in gold braid and tinsel.
Having seen his boat well under war, he
drives home, and in the evening may be
seen at one Of his theatres attired in full
evening costume, with rosette pinned
to the lapel of his coat, officiating as head
usher, and making himself very consicu-
GUS He gives dinner and champagne
suppers to any and every one to whom he
takes a fancy, and behaves generally in a
most singular manner. Many prudent
people shake their heads when his iame
is mentioned.

Since our last meeting, the Master bas

Aiken, ID. D., whose uniform presence for
nearly twenty years, has contributed 30
much to the interest and profit Of the

state and defend them, wise in judgment.
judicious in counsel, with an unwavering
love for truth and righteousness, he COM
manded the respect of all, and the love
and confidence of those who knew him
best
Sorrowing that we can have him no

deep bereavement, while we rejoice in
the conviction that his work, which is
now done, will be pronounced well

Vermont Politics.

Speaking Of the coming man for Yer
mont, the y. y. Herald takes occasion 10
say that the contest for the Republican
nomination for Governor lies between
Gen. Washburn, Dudley C. Denison. of
Royalton, late United States District Al
tarney, lawyer of ability, and a relative
of Chief Justice Chase and Julius Con
verse, of Woodstock, ex-Lieutenani Go
vernon. For Lieutenant Governor John
w. Stewart, OF Middlebury, will probably
receive the nomination and for State
Treasurer the present incumbent. John
A. Page, of Montpelier, will be renomina-
ted. OF course the whole Republican
ticket will be elected for Democrats iu
Vermont are as scarce az sugar-Inaple trees
tapped in midsummer. The Democrat
expect TO gain in the Legislature ON ac-
count of opposition to the prohibitory
law and to the proposition for the consoli-
dation of railroads passing through the
State. Consolidation seems TO he the or
der of the day among railroad corpora
tions, and why expect Vermont to be be-
hind in any radical movement The
election occurs in September.- prTpaoht

To the Editor Rutland lazy HeTdt0
A trip to Middletown ON one OF these
WIGHT mornings is not bad thing to
take. Mr.. Editor, and having taken sew
eral during the last few days, allow me
to be eyes and ears for such Of your read
ers as have been obliged to stay at home.
OF course heard the usual amount of
complaining. Men who had hoped to
grow rich before the summer was over
are disappointed, for the reason that
travel has not yet begun. The real pros
pect for the summer visitors l think is
good, and I judge mostly by comparing
the last year with the present. Each
season there is greater and greater dis
satisfaction with the large prices and
microscopic enjoyments of the fashiona-
BILE resorts, and search for more country
comfort and less of city price.
OF course at M. the great topic OF
thought and conversation is the mineral
springs. There is continual flow OF WIS.,
itors to them which is doing great deal
towards bringing the merits of the water
before the public.
There is one idea only too prevalent
among people who use the water, that the
greater the quantity taken the more ben
eft will be received. 1t is very true that
MANY people are able to drink several
glasses of mineral water that are highly
charged with gas, like those of Saratoga,
without feeling any evil results. But of
such waters those from the Middletown
least, to indulge in large quantity at
one time As a rule, half tumbler full
is sufficient to begin with, and the amount
should be varied to suit each individual.
I visited the springs and tasted the
water as in duty bound. The Mineral
Spring Co. are erecting a pavilion and a
bath house. They are laying out their
grounds with much taste. Nature has
already rendered them beautiful. and lit
tie remains for the hand of man except
to clear up and trim what is already
planted. After making some drawings
of the mountains as seen from the valley
at the springs, | climbed up one of the
foot hills and made sketch of the noun
tains to the northward. \ more beauti-
ful bit of mountain scenery in prettier
frame can rarely be found than the east
ern side OF Herrick Mountain as seen
when looking north from Midlletown.
The little village settled down among the
hilloclls, and the valley winding up tow
ards the background, are features not to
be found in every ten miles ride while the
mountains themselves have enough of the
picturesque in their outline to arrest the
attention anywhere. PERDIX.

MEXICAN CLAIMs.-It is now stated
that the claims of Americans against

They are mostly without real foundation,

of this Republic.
