Judge Dunton will make capable and
efficient representative of Rutland in the
Constitutional Convention. He is we'll
known lawyer, and Judge of Probate for
the District of Rutland. He has had
some experience in legislative matters
while resident of Kansas, in its early
struggles and organization, and is familiar
with constitutional questions. No issue
was made upon the subject of female suf-
frage, as in other towns of the State We
are not aware of Mr.. Dunton's opinions
upon any Of the questions to be submitted
to the convention, and he goes independ-
emit 80 far az issue was made upon any of
the amendments. He is, therefore, free
and untrammeled by any instructions, his
fellow citizens having full confidence in
his ability land judgement to represent
them, knowing that he will reflect the
views of his constituents from knowledge
and familiarity with the people. He will
be among the prominent and useful MEM
bers of the convention.
MIDDLETowN-T SPRINGS, &c
Middletown which has been hitherto a
very quiet place, is now promising to be-
come place ofsummer resort. For months
past the public attention has been drawn
to it by the mineral waters it affords, and
the citizens ever awake to the interests of
business have raised funds to build a
large hotel for the accommodation of
pleasure seekers and those who wish to
be benefited by the use of mineral waters.
Invalids will find here place to let
nature aid in restoring them to health,
and the business men place TO rest dur
ing the heated season of the year. The
pure fresh air and the beautiful mountain
scenery will make the sick forget their
pain and the merchant forget there is
strife in trade.
The site chosen for the new hotel is
elevated above the level of the springs and
is separated from the village by beauti-
full stream of water, winding its way
among the hills and valleys finds its out
let through the Poultney river. A more
enchanting view could not have been OBJ
tanned. Looking westward between the
hills, we see the valley of the Poultney
river, along the banks of which the travel
or must ride as he approaches Middletown.
Northward he first sees the village with
it's stores and places of business, the
churches, three in number, "their spires
pointing heavenward," showing that the
people are not behind the times in religi-
GUS and moral instruction. Further north
is "Spruoe Knob" as it is called, from the
summit of which may be seen Lakes Bonn
baseen, st. Catherine and Champlain.
There are many other things here to
make Middletown a place of resort, but l
will only mention what is being done for
the accommodation of those who come
here for health and pleasure The large
hotel is to be completed early in the sea-
son and furnished so as to accommodate
all with lodging and viands to suit the
most fastidious taste
The old hotel is now occupied by
messrs. Fenton and Oakley, who are
READY 10 give those who wish good meal
or horse and coach for ride.
A daily mail brings the news from Now
York and Boston, and daily coaches are
run between here and Poultney, the near
est Railroad station and telegraph office.
