EY- 1t il not considered probable,
says the Cincinnati Commercial, that
the Legislature will adjourn before the
middle Of April or the 1st of May
Between both houses some three hun
dred bills have been originated this
session, and these, with business laid
over from last year will keep the body
busy for some time to come. There
seems to be growth of special iegisla-

GREETED that the Legislature can no
settle upon some general laws, giving
County Commissioners and the courts
control of very many local matters
that now have to oe reported upon ant

wisely determined by the Commission

action is required, as by the assembled

The hillside Grave.

TT MRS. OLIVE v. p. THOMAS.
Out ON the hillside lone grave u Keeping
Tryst with the daisies, the summer day through,
Nea&h whose white maidstone . maiden Is sleep
ing,
Whose pulseless bosom no care ever knew.
Far from homes Frightening Arssids ranger
Heart growing weary and eye growing dim,
Folding her feet in the land Of the stranger
Life faded swim meath the death-angels hymn.
Few were the faces that bent Ger the pillow,
Tenderly smoothed in the wind shaken wild
None to plant Ger her the vine and the willow,
None to watch over her couch undeAled.
Though . half century walked through the forest
Bidding its dim aisles to bloom as the rose,
Still Is the tracery clear on the marble
Kissed by the sunbesms, enwrapt by the SHOWS.
Often the breath Of the summer is bearing
Out ON the blue air the sylabled name
Spoken by glowing lips, sweetly uncaring
Save for the present hours shadowless reign.
Idly the feet OF the thoughtful ones linger,
Musing OF ono by the great world forgot,
Still pointing downward Decays silent finger
Breathes through the stiffness, {" Man this is thy
lotr'
Though we can read not the lines of this story,
II in the depths of the solemn arcade
Some lover wept DER his LIES fading glory,
Or hearts parental were deso.ate made.
This we record that the swift years have fashioned
Beauty and grace for the strangers lone bed,
Sings the blue air OF sweet peace for the ashes,
Peace for the soul of the Numbering dead

confess that I have, once or twice, for

that the delinquency had been grossly

WOODSTOCK, Dec. IA.
Editor Rutland Herald: The business
which took me here did not engross all
nay time, therefore have perambulated
tho village, which find is not materially
changed from what it was six years ago,
except in the burning of Henry's Hotel
and other buildings connected herewith,
and the erection of new buildings in their
stead. Instead of new Hotel, blocks of
stores occupy the site, and where the old
Jail and Jail house stood new house has
been erected and the Jail portion has been
thoroughly reconstructed. The work in
every part is thoroughly done. The Jail
proper is divided into three compartments
for those of different degrees of crime, and
all are well arranged and comfortable.
These apartments contain iron bedsteads
r:ovsr twenty, and there is ample room
for double that number should the in
creasing patronage of the institution ever
demand it. Under tho same roof with
the Jail is the dwelling of the jsilor, con-
tanning nine rooms, in addition to- four
other rooms, two of which, on the ground
floor are now occupied by Capt. Geo. B.
French, County Clerk, the other two, in
tended for the Register Of Probate for the
District of Hartford, are at present occu-
pied by Hon. James Barrett. In the rear
of these suits of rooms are two fre-proof
safes. built of brick for the preservation
of the county and Probate Court records.
The main building, including the Jail
is 50xG6 feet and two stories high. Ad-
joining this is an IL" 40x22 feet. There
if also a nicely finished barn 26x30 feet.
These buildings are just finished, and the
aggregate cost of the whole was $9,G4l0S,
requiring a tax of five per cent. on the
county.
The work WAS done under the direction
of Hon. Calvin French of Protorsviile, and
Hon. John Marcy of R"yaltop, associate
Judges Of Windsor County Court. We
think the people of the county have good
reason to congratulate themselves that
they have sach good public buildings at
so little cost The court house, one of the
best in the State, WAS built in 1854 under
the direction Of Hon Thomas L. Powers,
at cost of only $4,000
The Railroad is being pushed on to-
wards completion, aud bids fair to be

q pebble or large boulder, there are striae
or scratches made in the smoothed sides
of the stones, just as they are striated in
the moraines at the sides OF termini of the
Swiss glaciers. These, taken in connec-
ton with the s.riated lodges on the sides
Of the Queechy river, and the fact that
many of the pebbles are Of peculiar kind
of serpentine found in Bridgewater, show
that the valley of Queechy river was
once filled with a glacier that extended
the entire length of the stream.

Gen. sheridan ON the Indians.

Lieut. Gen. Sheridan, comm ,nder of The
Military Division of the Missouri. in
which most of the Indians Of the country
abide, and where have been the principal
troubles of late, gives an account of his
operations during the year, and declares
that the condition of Indian sff .irs Is very
much better than before. He thinks the
system of reservation adopted by the gov
eminent the only one that will put an
end to Indian murders and deprrd.tions,
but he apprehends that the Sioux will have
to receive severe punishment before they
will go peaceably upon reservation.
Like the bluff soldier that he is, Gen.
Sheridan speaks out boldly, and gives his
estimate of the former method If treat
ing the savages, and of the Indian char
acter: 1.-THE Indians have run riot long
the lines of orr western settlements, and
the emigrant and commercial lines of
travel for many years, numbering and
plundering without any adequate punish
ment, and the government h. here
tofore sought TO give protection to some
of it's best interests by making pres
ents to the sxvages; or. IN other words,
while it found it necessary tn enact the
most stringent laws for the government of
civilized whites, it wac attempting to
govern a wild, brutal aud savage people
without any laws ut all. or the infection
of any punishment for the most heinous
crimes. This aystem was not success.
If white man commits murder or robs,
We hang him or send him to the peniten-
tisry. II an Indian does the same, we
have been in the habit of giving him
more blankets. The Indian is a lazy,
