The Union OF Good Templars In
Stowe.

A large number Of Good Templars from
various parts of the county assembled in
the Lodge room of Mt. Mansfield Lodge,
No. Ill, and were called TO order by Col.
J. J. Boynton, W. c. 7.
After the opening exercises the follow
ing committees were appointed:
Executive Committed. l.. Pearl, Ii.
G. Faunce, 0. II. Cook.
Literary Committee-C. c. Morse, l..
Sallies, II. G. Irish.
Finance Committee. j. Boynton,
w. Ii. II Kenfeld. B. L. Austin.
On Resolutions-Rcv. S. Donaldson,
D. j. Stafford, L. Sallies.
The several Lodges that were represent
ed gave very favorable reports, and the
Union was entertained by several very
fine literary productions and by some ex-
Gel lent singing from members OF the Nor
risville and Stowe Lodges.
Rev. H. P. Cushing, G.. W. S., was
present and made some excellent remarks,
giving words of encouragement and in
struction. This officer reported that the
order in Vermont now numbers l4I Lodges
with membership of 5000.
The following were among the rcsolu.
tons that were passed:
Inasmuch as the use of tobacco is inju.
rious to the physical system and weaken
ing to the intellectual powers, paving the
way to the use Of alcohol as beverage /;
therefore, resolved that we regard its use
as incompatible with true temperance
principles, and should be discarded by
Coed Tcmplars.
That there should be appointed from
each Lodge in the county, delegate to
represent the state and workings of the
same to the Union at its stated meetings.
That a County Temperance Picnic
would tend to advance the cause of tenn
perance.
The following board of officers for the
next Union were then elected:
Rev. j. d. Bceman, w. G. r.
Miss Ella Gilman, w. V. T.
G. G. Morse, w. S.
Miss Betsey Calkins, W. I. G.
John Carpenter, W. o G.
The other officers to be appointed when
assembled.
A vote of thanks was extended to the
of the Stowe Lodge for their
generous entertainment and cordial recep-
tior of the members of the other Lodges
The Union then adjourned to meet at
johnson on the I'd Tuesday in August, at
10 o'clock A. NJ.
Everything passed off pleasantly and
all felt that it was good to b. there.
Mr.. Gushing lectured in the evening to
a crowded house, and all pronounced it an
able lecture.

Not little excitement was had over
the appointment of liquor agent in this
town,-the citizens wanting one man and
the Commissioner another, but the ques-
ton was settled by the appointment and
confirmation of third man, in the person
of Fri Ellinwood, Esq, who has before
acceptably held that office. We trust
that the liquor controversy that has been
rife for two years will now be ended.
WORKING PIo-NIc.-It has been pro-
posed by many of our villagers to turn
out en- masse on Saturday next to attend
a Grand Picnic to be held on the Court
house Common for the purpose of making
the much needed renairs thereon. Every.
body is invited and all are expected to
bring such tools as they can make the
best use of in the furtherance of the pro-
ject. Refreshments are to be served at
the American House, and the ladies of
the village are expected to furnish the
ediblcs for the occasion Any one living
out of the village who feels an interest
and pride in the good appearance of its
public grounds will be cordially welcomed
among the group Of picnicers. Let the
village common no longer be an eye-sore
or disgrace to the county seat of La.

-Dea. Robinson has sold his interest
here to Mr.. Barnum Austin, and is about
to remove to Syracuse, N. Y.
The "tin weddiug"-meutioned some
weeks since, as among the things to be-
was an accomplished fact, on Monday,
April 25th.
About thirty friends responded, in per-
son, to the invitation of Mr.. and Mrs. A.
A. Leland, to celebrate with them this
happy anniversary. And, as each guest
did honor to the occasion by offer
ings of tin, there was quite an array OF
useful articles of that metal.
The company, after spending most
pleasant afternoon, and partakIng of a
bountiful repast, dispersed with kindly
wishes that their host and hostess. having
happily passed their "silvcr" and golden

Rev. Mr.. Dougherty, who performed
the marriage ceremony, not being able to
be present, sent his best wishes in writ

1t is not often VIC have to chronicle

Books OF FoREIeN TRAvEL.- Every
year there is an increase in the stream Of
travel. The oceanic ste, mar lines have
their state-rooms engaged months before
hand, and soon it will be distinction not
to have gone to Europe.
Every one who goes provides his trunk
or bag with such wearing apparel as he
needs, and packs all he can into small
compass. But he would be very foolish
to it packing his head too with the
mental clothing he will need abroad.
Ii. o. Houghton & Co. name several
books in their advertisement this week
which are the productions Of intelligent
travellers, who have moreover put what
they had to say into brief, portable form.
Any one of the books would be good ono
to take to read on the way and stay-at-
home travellers, who h-pe to 60, or have
been, or do not expect to go, can travel

BURLINGTON, May 6, 1870.
General Order. No. 2.
The soth day of May having been des-
ignated as a day set apart by the Grand
Army of the Republic, will be observed
by the several Posts of this Department
as day in which we will once more meet
around the graves of our fallen comrades.
and while remembering their noble deeds,
bedew their silent resting places with
tears, and bcautify them with flowers.
This is the third public observance Of
the occasion, which it is trusted will re-
cur yearly while there remains heart
loyal to the cause in which our comrades
fell, and while the moving principle of
that struggle is worth preserving. If our
organization had no other object, that
alone of keeping green the resting places
of our nations defenders, by this annual
commemoration would be motive enough
to hold us together in fraternal bond.
The Department Commander desires to
thank those patriotic men and women who
gave their aid and sympathy on former
occasion to make successful this National
Memorial day, and they are cordially in
vted to unite with the comrades of the
Grand Army IN the approaching ceremo-
MES; and he thanks the loyal press every
where, through whose generous aid last
ing record has been made of the observ-
ances year ago.
1t has been determined not to prescribe
any form of ceremony for universal OBJ
servancc, but each post, or any number
of posts, may arrange together such fitting
services as circumstances will permit.
The newspaper press arc requested to
give publication to this order.
Post commanders are specially cnjoined
to preserve and forward to the headquar-
tiers copy Of the proceedings lin printed
form so far as possible) which ia place
in carrying out this order.

10 the Patrons of the Newsdealer.

As was announced last week, we assume
The proprietorship and editorial chair OF
the NswspEALER, and in again greeting
SO many of our former patrons, it will not
be necessary to set forth any platform for
she future in regard to the principles this
paper will advocate, as most of our pat
ons have the misfortune to be personally
acquainted with us or with the paper dur
ing the three years it was conducted by
US. We will say, however, that we'll do
the best we can to give you an interesting
paper, and one you will like to patronize.
The motto at the head of the first page
was chosen by us when We first took poss-
ession nearly six years ago and will still
be the rule for the conducting of the pa
per. 1t is in the hands of no ''ring' or
set of politicians. neither will it be con-
trolled by any combinations of the kind.
A little more than three years have
elapsed since we sold out, and these years
a part of them having been spent in WIS.,
iting many portions of our fair land, have
left us that much colder if not "wiser.'
Wo hope by your liberal patronage to
succeed, and that our relations will be
mutually pleasant and profitable.
All contracts made with Col. Sawyer,
former publisher, will be fulfilled, the
fane as if no change had been made.

ELMoRE, May II, 10.

Mr.. EDIToR-sIr -
In common with other towns of the
Green Mountain State, we held our meet
ing on the 10th inst, to elect delegate
to attend the Constitutional Convention
soon to be holden at Montpelier, and,
strange as it may appear, lowing no doubt
to the fact, as the defeated party allege,
that they made an unfortunate choice in
the selection Of their candidate,) the par
ty that seemed so completely annihilated
at our last Marh meeting had the inside
track, and on the home stretch-second
ballot-came in just sufficiently ahead to
give the successful candidate the chance
of proving the old saying truc-"thc
closer to the bone the swecter the meat"
And, also, the defeated candidate, who
had given people the assurance that he
had no fears as to the result of the cleo
ton, the opportunity of testing the truth
of another old adagc--"many slip tween
cup and lip"
Between so and 80 Of our voters Assem-.
bled. and probably never since the days of
Log Cabin and Hard-C Cider" has an cleo.
ton been contested more closely than this
one, and we could not help thinking, after
witnessing the attempts made to induce
people after the lst ballot TO 'go for
change, sir, change their votes, VIC
mean, and the anxiety manifested in
gathering in delinquent voters as well as
the spasmodc eruptions that broke out af
ter the announcement of the election of A.
Camp, Esq.--that certain ones would al
most have condcsccnded to stoop so low
as to give even money or farm produce to
have carried their point.
On the whole the election passed as
quietly as could be expected uLder the
circumstances,
We think, however, certain politicians
learned lesson that will not soon be for
gotten: that it is bad policy to swallow
bitter pill thinking it will take effect upon
another person.
After knocking all amendments to the
Constitution into Pi, and instructing our
delegate to 10 the same-the curtain
dropped, the programme closed, the voters
went their way to discover that the world
moved same as ever, and the stars contin-
ued in their course.

The Railroad.

We unt erstand that the contract for the
grading of the road between Hardwick
AMI Cambridge has been let to King, Full
Ter & Co. They had before the contract
from Cambridg, to swanton and from St.
Johnsbury to Hardwick. This new con-
tract gives them the entire line from St.
Johnsbury to Swanton. These gentlemen
have raised the pay Of their employees on
the road to $l.45 perday. Some portions
Of the road have been sub-let to other
parties by King, Fuller & Co., and they
have contracted with S. 7. Fuller Of Bar
ton for doing the stone work from East
Hardwick to Walden Heights-l3 miles.
The work is being pushed forward on sew
eral portions of the located line, and con-
sfru,tion parties will probably soon be
busy in our county.

furnish an account Of his observations,

Our hearts are sad this evening, for they
