MIR. EDITOR Il see that my letter of
inquiry as to what constituted legal voter
in Freeman's Meeting has aroused Mr..
Bishop, and although he does not think it
worth noticing, yet he does notice it quite
lengthy, AMI in very curious way. He
says that article was written more for per-
sonal abuse than practical effect. | dis
claim any intention of abusing Mr.. Bishop
or any one else.
That | stated the two cases fairly he
does not deny, although he attempts to
mystify and excuse himself, because five
others decided with him. Does that make
the decision less Objectionable. He CON-
plains because | called him "learned
gentleman. Mr.. has been Justice of
the Peace for fifteen years. He done
most of the talking at the trials mention
ed. He was loud in declaring that it
made no difference how long a man had
been out Of town, if he had not been
three months in any other town,-he was
a voter in Fillmore. These were the rea-
sons why his name was mentioned in par.
ticular.
He says if some Of our political leaders
would "use more sound, honest argument
and gentlemanly bearings end less calum.
ny and abuse towards those who do not
fully agree with them in political sent.
ment," and so on. Am willing to leave
tito the better judgment,ofthe freemen of
this town, if the arguments used to defeat
Mr.. Slayton, the false stories told con-
Meeting him with the repairs of the Eagle

the insulting language and overbearing
manner Of those voting with the Demo-
cratic party showed gentlemanly bear
ing, then l will confess that am ignorant
Of what sonnd, honest argument is, and
Mr.. Bishop has right to complain because

Mr.. EDIToR -

Mr.. EDIroR -
With trembling hand and shattered
nerve | have taken upon myself the SOL
emn responsibility Of cndeavoring to COM
muuicate to you the terrible catastrophe
that has befallen this once quiet and calm
retreat. Thursday the 14th inst, at a
little past the hour of IL, there came
rushing through one of the main streets,
two jadcd young men, bringing the start
ling intelligence that Greensboro Pond
had broken away and would soon be upon
us, and their countenances bespoke that
waves mountain high would soon be rolling
through these placid streets. With the
speed of thought the intelligence made
its way to the lower part of the village,
and in few moments venerable deacon
with few valuables under his arm and
best clothes thrown over his shoulder,
could be seen making way for high ground
in the upper part Of the village. lie
then repaired to the abode of his son and
had everything moved from cellar to gar
ret. Immediately boat was despatched
to the residence Of an cx-Judge, who
chances to live below high-water mark,
when he and his family, together with
his "big noterolr were taken aboard and
moorcd to place where surging waves
could not Invade. The elect having thus
been provided for, families of less repute
were hurried from tho places of their
abode, and Immediately found an asylum

The FreShet in WOlcOtt.

Ed. NEwsDEALER The freshet in VOL
colt has accomplished its destruction, as
in other places, carrying away bridges,
rendering the roads impossible, and de-
stroyng much private property.
The covered bridge above the factory
village was taken by the current and car
ried some 40 or so rods and left in field,
followed by two bridges in close succession
from Hardwick. The bridge in the vii
lage, and the one near II. Guyer's, and
the one over the Lamoile near b. Guycr's
are also gone. The one which was near
B. Guyer's is standing in his field, and it
is thought that it may be replaced without
taking it down. All the bridges over the
Wild Branch are gone, and most of the
small bridges in town have been carried
away.
The roads for miles are impossible.
And in some instances the Wild Branch
runs where the road once was.
Private property is also extensively de-
stroyed. Whole fields of corn and thous-
ands of pumpkins were carried off Acres
of land which were productive, have been
destroyed, and fields filled with Aoodwood.
The current Of the Branch was so changed
that it carried away the bank on which T
O. Graves house stands, and the cellar
wall is laid bare and the current runs so
near his house, that he could fish out of
his pantry window.
The carriage shop in Wolcott village
has been so near undermined that it is
deemed necessary to move it to higher
ground. Thousands of solid yards of earth
have been taken away around it and left
it as it were standing on stills. Mr.. Pin
ney has also sustained considerable loss in
and about his starch factory.
The losses, public and private, in town,
cannot fall short of ten thousand dollars.
Many have set it much higher.
The water rose higher than it was ever
known to do in town before, so say the
oldest inhabitants. ~

woods conversion" so extraordinary IN Its
physical manifestations that the Doctor
wanted to shave his head and cover 1t
with ga large blister'-an anecdote which
will remind the reader of somewhatslm-
liar passage in the early life of Geo Fox.
Mr.. Cartwright told the audience that che
had preached as many sermons as any
living man." "What we call sermons, !"
he added modestly; sit might take doz-
en- of them to make good one, for what
| know, but they cost me physical labor
as well as mental labor" Here then, we
may say, is a veritable clerical phenome-
non. For half a century, in all weathers,
under the open sky, with long intervals OF
lonely and difficult travel, here is a man
who has never for one moment faltered,
has kept himself in a sound physical con-
diton, and has dispensed what he thought
to be the truth with all the energy OF per-
feet conviction, with perhaps as much eff
feet as if he had been deep in Hebrew
and master Of theological dialectics.
+ No one, whatever his religious views,
whether he be rigidly orthodox or broadly
rationalstic, can doubt the real good,
apart from his fine personal example, which
in all these years Dr.. Cartwright must
have accomplished.
This is not the place nor is ours the pen
to discuss the whole value Of what is call
ed conversion. In the violent manifesto
tons, the convulsiye phenomena Of the
comp-meeting which were once so common,
but which are common no longer, there
may have been much to repel the man Of
taste and cultivation but if we regard
only the increased morality which must
have followed DR.. Cartwright's preaching,
and the sounder schemes Of life to which
he must have directed many errant natures,
we feel that he is entitled to every honor
which has diguifed his old age.

Vermont Legislature.

On Thursday there was no organization.
Only 10 Senators were present, and lao
Representatives out Of the $40 elected.
There being no quorum in eithar house,
the Legislature adjourned without organ
izing On Friday the House was organ
lied by the election Of Hon. G. W. Gran
dey Of Vergenncs for Speaker, and D. NJ.
Camp (of the Newport Erpress) for Clerk.
ThOre was quite little diversion crea-
ted in the House, at the outset, by the
omission of the Lamoille County men,
bers in the drawing for seats, their names
having been left out Of the box by acct
dent. Major Page of Hyde Park came
to the rescue Of 'spunky Lamoille" and
brought down the House. The greatest
good humor prevailed, and the affair was
settled up by giving Lamoille County
their choice Of the seats, by which means
they got some Of the best in the House.
