ex-Governors already adorn the walls of
the Executive Chamber and those of all
others should be placed there so far as
they can be procured. To coming gem

interest, and the expense of procuring
them will be so tr fling as hardly to be

ST. JoHN's CHURCH MANCHESTER
1t is understood that some question has
been made by the officers of Zion's Church
Factory Point, whether St. Johns Church
Manchester, was properly organized; and
that it was claimed, that there was no
such parish.
The Bishop referred the question to the
Standing Committee of the Diooese-and
both parishes were notified to appear be-
fore the Committee at Burlington on the
10th Instant.
The Committee have sent the officers of
the st. Johns Chnrch, Manchester, the
following copy of the records of their
doings.
Having been consulted by the Bishop
in reference to the legal status of St
Johns parish, Manchester, after hearing
the parties interested, adopted the follow
ing resolution
" Resolved, That in the opinion of this
Committee, the parish of st. Johns Man
chester, is legally and canonically formed.
This, of course settles the question of
the legality of their organization, and we
trust that the two parishes will hereafter
work in harmony.

months in each year; that no child resi-
dent of this State shall be employed in a
mill except such child shall have attend

same penalty on every mill-owner who
shall employ any child contrary to the act.
| The bill introduced by Mr. Scott. of Ply
mouth. is intended 70 make the present
law more stringent, and besides adding
some important features to it's provisions,
proposes to give justices of the peace, be-
fore whom the delinquent Juveniles are
arraigned, the discretionary power of
committing them to the Reform School
for such time as they may deem proper,
but not exceeding the time when such
child shall become 81 years of age. This
provision may be deemed unnecessarily
harsh, and condemned as granting an uu-
just prerogative to Justices of the peace.
If the present law Is defective or its en-
forcement does not accomplish its purpose,
then it is evident that some other remedy
n needed to supply the desideratum.
The whole question is one of vital inn
portance. Notwithstanding the privilege
freely offered to all by our public school
system, it is a lamentable fact that at least
thirty per cent. of the children of this
counrFy nail % accept the advantages thus
extended TO them. Especially is this true
of the large towns and villages 1t is n
serious question, then, whether the law
should not step in and compel the child
rem now idling away their precious time to
attend the Pubhc schools, even ii the most
stringent Ragula@sons shall be demanded to
secm its enforcement. 1t seems hardly
necessary to discuss this question upon
its merits All will concede that educa-
tion is the capital and stock In trade of
every person who has no other resources
upon which to start in life. The pecuni-
airy value of good education IL a thing
to be observed, and no one, however ig
uorant, needs to be told how greatly it in
creases the chances of business thrift and
social elevation. It's importance Is not
confined to the individual alone but is in
dispensihle to the welfare and prosperity
of the State. The State has a right to the
best services that its subjects can give it
and it is only by liberal education that the
subject can be qualified to render good
service.
There is little doubt that the present
law might be so altered OF amended as the
better to subserve the object it has IN view,
and to secure more perfect system OF
public instruction. But something fur
ther Is required. The friends of educa-
tion throughout the State must exert
themselves TO execute the salutary man
dates of the law, and in addition to this,
employ all practicable means of persuasion
and influence to cure the evils complained

WEST RUTLAND Mr. Eli Gorh4m, an
aged resident of this part of the town,
died very suddenly on Thursday morning,
the 7th inst, from paralysis. Though
much enfsebled from a former attack of
! the same disease, and advanced years,
Mr.. Gorham appeared quite we'll and ao-
tive until within a few hours of his death.
He was born in Poultney, but early in
life came with his parents to West Rut-
land, and had been, therefore, An eye wit
ness of the progress and advancement Of
the neighborhood for half century.
Owning at one time the tract of land where
the quarries are now situated, it was dis
posed of for a mere trife, dollar of the
supposed valne then now being represent
ed by thousands His "reminiscences of
the past, of Rutland, were very interest
ing, and although he left no political
record upon which to build a glowing eu
logy upon his character or insure fitting
obituary at his death, the writer, though
but a recent friend, would bear testimony
to his goodness of heart and generous,
sympathetic nature, as evinced toward all
with whom he associated. His funeral
took place on Saturday, and was largely
attended, Rev. Mr.. Walker from Walling-
ford, delivering an excellent discourse on
that oe aston. Among the mourners we
noticed two fine looking men, sons of the
deceased, one resident of Montpelier,
the other of Grand Rapids, Mich, who
had come to be present at the obseques.
Several distressing cases of paralysis
have also more recently occurred here.
The last case was that of Mr. F. Freeman,
who was prostrated at his place of busi-
ness on Saturday, and has since lain in a
helpless and critical condition. The said
event ia deeply regretted by a wide circle
of friends. Mr. Freeman, a near neighbor
of Mr.. Gorham, above noticed, was first
aroused on the eve of the old mans death |
and kindly watched near him until the
end.
To lovers of beautiful mechanical
work we would say visit the Marble
Mantle Works of the Messrs. Mcneil, |
Lane s. Pritchard, on Main street, where
may be seen every superb device in carv-
ing that genius and taste has originated.
The growth and prosperity of this estab-
lishment evinces, beyond doubt, the true
reward of merit, the success of manly en-
deavor, and the widespread popularity of
the enterprising firm.
"A startling curiosity, in the form of
two elegantly attired damsels, seated in an
elegant carriage drawn by two fiery
chargers, each fair lass unconcernedly
putting away at pure Havana" glided
through our quiet and decorous avenue ON
Monday. Many Puritanical matrons were
sensibly shocked, one of whom was heard
to declare that 'sno female except Eliza
beth Cady or Miss Oliver Logan would
be so brazen and indiscreet" When it was
however, that the fair smok-
lists were residents of ON aha, where mat
ters and manners are unusually fast"
our excited matrons tasted from further
uncharitable comment. CRoAKER. i
