So large a portion of Vermont village
society is becoming Frenchtfed, and
mixed and mingled with every element
of foreign birth that the question of their
civil and religious education is becoming
one of serious magnitude. Hence when
a man of Father Gendreau's address and
industry comes among us, We should ex-
tend to him the friendly hand of encour-
agement.

and valuable real estate and machinery,
which we understand is for sale cheap.
Any party DESTROYS of purchasing that
kind of property would dc well to call
and look the thing over before buying
elsewhere. The quarry of Verde antique
marble, once partially developed by Hook
Hills lies near it. Any enterprising man
of means, if in ownership of both estates

developments of this mineral wealth.
CHEsTER.-Our former townsman, Mr.
A. Putnam, Jr, was in town yesterday
and exhibited valuable invention, the
product of his mechanical genius, which
promises a complete revolution in the
prices and shipment of mineral waters.
The invention is simply faucet, combin-
ing spigot and vent. The faucet is in
two p~rto, Que part i1 permanently at
taohed to the cask, and furnished with q
cap, which is attached in transporting the
water. The cap can be removed and the
faucet attached without admitting par
ticle of air or permitting the escape OF
particle of carbonic acid gas which Is con-
tanned in the water. The vent consists
simply of gutta-percha tube with cork
foat attached to the fixed part OF the
faucet, and so contrived that the turning
of the cock communicates sufficient air,
aud no more, to expel the fluid from the
-pigot and yet not permit the escape OF a
particle of the gas. Some idea of its value
and utility may be furnished from the fact
| that Mr.. Putnam has been offered $4,000
for one.tenth part of the patent, and
| this by the frat faucet manufacturer to
whom it was shown. Mr.. Putnam is one
of the heaviest stockholders in the cele-
brated Star Spring Company, and is also
the local manager and agent. We tested
glass of the ''Star" water drawn from
c4sk and found it as sparkling and efer-
vesing as though direct from the spring.
Mr.. Putnam proposes to hold the patent
for the exclusive benefit of the Star Co,
and assures US that consumers of that
popular brand of mine raj water will soon
be furnished at half the present prices
Tue citizens of Rutland will soon have an
O ,portunity of seeing it practically de-
monstrated.
The Congregational Society will give
a dramatic entertainment and furnish ar
ticles of nourishnent at Ingraham's Hall
this evening. The ladies, as usual, are at
the head Of the enterprise.
Host Cole utters stunning procla-
nation, after executive formula, request
ing all good citizens to assemble at his
hall on the evening of Nov. oath. Rut-
land music will be furnished, and gay
ball is predicted.
Miss Isabel Stone and associate artists
gave grand concert at Ingraham House
hall last night, and it is pleasure to re-
cord genuine frst-class entertainment,
after suffering the intolerable nuisances
that have visited US SO frequently of late
The programme was fine, embracing
popular selections for piano and voice.
Miss Stone was charming; her notes were
as good as gold, and her personal attract
, ions were refreshing to the eye. The cor
net playing of Mr.. Allen was ravishing
music; we doubt if it has ever been
equaled in Chester. The entertainment
was twice varied by introducing Shakes
, perian readings and a humorous recitation
; by the accomplished elocutionist, Mr..
Bullard. Success to this company.
