the time holding connection with it.
The Rutland Daily HERALD was first
published April 20, 1861 and has been
continued up to the present time-a part
of the time publishing as a morning and
evening paper. 1t grew out of the ex-
igeneies of the late war-was started as
an experiment-and has become one OF
the fixed institutions of Rutland. ...
Whatever success the HERALD has had
financially, when L look back upon its
| illustrious founders and It's subsequent
guidance under the direction OF some OF
our best men now gone, cannot repress q
feeling of pride in the belief that the
HERALD has performed no humble part
furthering those instrumentalities which
have made Rutlrnd what it is to-day, and
| that its mission has been one of good. 1t
has had its faults. But / believe it has
ever been the object of all its proprietors
so to conduct it as to serve the best inter
ests of morality, religion and humanity.
The other papers of Rutland has been
The Union Wing, first issued in 1849,
and published for about two years.
The Rutland Courier, first issued Aug
ust IA, 1857, by John Cain, and continued
to to-day.
The Rutland independent commenced
July 1866, and still continued.
There has also been published at various
times and for short periods; the Rurai
Magazine, a literary publication; the
Vermont Mercury; the Vermont Courier;
the Vermont Farmer; the Guard Of
american Liberty; What's The Ne1oS,
and several other papers of minor impor-
lance.
All these papers have done more or less
in moulding the sentiment Of the people,
and many of them have aided much in
forwarding the growth and prosperity OF
Rutland. And when we look around and
witness the virtue and intelligence of our
people, who can say their mission has
been in vain, or that their teachings
have not been worthy of their immeasur-
able power, and Judging from the past
who will not feel assured that their
future will be one of usefulness.
Mr. John Cain of the Courier had in
tended to respond about as follows:
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen
The toast I am called upon to respond tic
is rather dry toast, since my neighbor
futile of the HERALD has eaten all the
butter off, and I will therefore, like the
clergyman that took the brief text Good
as Eo0e,' expand little, and talk about old
times
A long time ago when Adam and Eve
lived in the garden of Eden, their first
born child of all the earth was little Cain
No child was ever born before and Mother
Eve felt proud and delighted. Cain grew
up to be quite boy and he has been con-
tinually raising Cain ever since the day
he was born. Cain had a brother by the
name of Abel who was noisy, boisterou:
and a very wicked man. He attacked his
brother when under the influence of some
new cider made from the apples Mrs
Adam advised her husband to eat. Cain
In self defense slew his brother Abel anC
that was the end of him. A short tins
after, and according to the ld1ts Of 11dtur
eyer since, Cain felt inclined to take t.
himself a wife, and his mother recon-
mended him to 90 into the land of Not
to do his counting.
Now, Mr.. President, ladies and gentle
men, who did Cain marry and where di'
he get his wife? The Rutland I1adepend
ent once said that he got his wife out of
second story window of a brick house on
mile outside of this village. But this
all bosh. Cain wasn't there.
But to keep within bounds of our tex
who did old Cain marry at a time whe
there was no human being on earth bu
> Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel, and poe
J. Abel dead ? Mr. President here is Eide
II Packer, venerable Baptist clergyman {
IS years of age have asked him TO e1
i plain this matter, as to who old Mrs. Ca1
( was, where she came from, etc, but all
u can learn from him and other Givines
/ that Cain got her in the Land Of Ned.
II Mr.. President as this is questic
T. that Doctors of Divinity differ about,
+ will agree to wait one Al1dred gears fro
to-day, and in this very tent (210 fe
e. long and GO feet wide) expect an answ
rs either from DR. Tood Rev. Mr.. Butle
- Elder Packer, or all three, and as this a
v rangement will give them time en0ugh
AZ reflection hope they will be promptly
