laid in town.
Asa Webster, Esq, has just put
down nice wooden sidewalk in front Of
his residence and clothing store with 6
large platform, SO that the good people in
search of externals can smoothly glide in
and if they don't get smooth fit they
can get out without tumbling over rotten
planks.
While few of the residences of this
village are renewing their sidewalks
others are letting them remain in broken
condition, SO that pedestrianism in the
night is positively dangerous. This con
dition of walks is deplorable and we ear
nestly hope will be remedied.

OF the soldiers of the late war, Col. Ran
oaii closed. His address was earnest and
spirited in delivery as it was interesting
IN matter and was heartily applauded.
AT business meeting following, the
Secretary being absent, Capt. Lauriston
Stone was chosen Secretary. It having
been found difficult to secure a general
attendance of members of the regiment
at this time of the year. on motion of
Gen. Henry, resolution was adopted,
adjourning to the evening before the
officers Reunion at Rutland, next Janu-
airy.
On motion of Captain Woodbury., the
thanks of the Society were rendered to
Col. Randall for his very eloquent and
acceptable address, and copy requested
for publication and on motion of Sur
geon Carpenter, thanks were veted to the
Post of the Grand Army of the Republic
for the use CT the hall.
The Society then repaired to the City
Hotel where
THE SUPPER.
took place at 10 o'clock. This was a
capital affair. The table was loaded with
every luxury of the season, served in
handsome style, and the supper did high
credit to mine host Brooks. A number of
invited guests were present, and after de-
ing justice to the good things, an hour or
two was spent in "reminiscences, songs and
social enjoyment. Short speeches were
made by Capt. R. w. Clarke, of Brattle-
boro, Gen. w. w. Henry, Capt. Wood
bury, Major Scion Eaton, Col. Randall,
Lieuts. sG. II. Bigelow and g. G.. Bene-
dict, and Col. Donally, formerly of the
army of the Cumberland, and lately of
the Fenian army; Capt. Lonergan told
once more the story of the Monocacy, and
some fresher recollections of the battle of
Pike river, which he thought was, like
Bull Run, one of those things that will
happen sometimes. Major Perley Downer
read Judy O'Hooligan's famous letter; the
old songs, America, John Brown, Rally
Round the Flag, Tramp, Tramp, Red,
White and Blue, and Star Spangled Ban
ner, were sung, and at o'clock the COM
pany broke up in good order, after what
all admitted to have been one of the most
pleasant of the reunions of the regiment
It is hoped and expected that all inter
ested will bear in mind the next re union
at Rutland, and that it will call out a
fuller attendance of members of the regi-
ment.

while Of our citizens to pay their Reposi-
tory visit as matter Of Interest, whether
they wish to purchase or net. Persons
who come from other sections, desiring to
purchase, will find this an excellent

couragement Of the people, will build up

Messrs. Abbot 81 Whitman are reliable,

man, the junior member of the firm for
several years, and have been cognizant OF
his energy and pnblic spirit in other di-
rections, he having been among the first
to introduce successfully into our State
some of its most excellent foreign breeds
of stock. He is public spirited, emerge
tic and intelligent gentleman, whom we
can most cordially commend to the &C.
quaintance, as well as the patronage OF
our people. We learn Mr.. Abbott ia a
gentleman of experience, whose skill and
business qualities also recommend him to
the public. We trust this new firm will
receive the patronage they deserve that
they may be encouraged to build up a
large manufacturing business here.

last week During my absence I visited
Montpelier during the session of the Con-

through it's sessions Witnessing the de-

the State Constitution. The principal
debates occurred upon the I'd and 9th ar
ticles of amendment both adopted by the
convention. 1t was the best working
body of men / ever saw combining a great
amount of ability in debate and marked
intelligence in the mass. Fully two
thirds were men of mature powers of
mind, and many of them members of pre-.
Vious constitutional conventions and past
legislatures. 1t was a rich feast TO listen
to the spirited debates marked nv the nt.

years, still retains the fire and energy o

GRAFTON. - The Woodstock Baptist
Sunday School Convention met here last
week The attendance was large, and
the session one of much interest. Essays
were read on Sunday School Literature, u
Relation of Sunday Schools to the Form
alton of Character" Emusic in Sunday
Schools" The latter, by L W. Hawley
of Windsor, was a most excellent and
finished production, and gave universal
satisfaction. That on Sunday School
Literature took rather extreme ground in
its condemnation of the great body Of
books which compose our Sunday School
libraries, and called out not little dis
cussion. The great want is competent,
reliable censorship in this matter of books.
The essayist said that the Unitarian LA
dies Commission" threw aside, as insult
able for Sunday School libraries, over
1900 out of 1900 volumes submitted to
their inspection.
Various questions were discussed, as,
Character, Gifts and Qualifications OF
Sunday School Teachers" Relation of
Sunday Schools to the Churches" Chow
to secure the attendance of those habitu-
ally absent from the Sanctuary and Sun
day School," and SUNDAY School Con-
certs." The last question was opened by
Mr.. Sherman of Ludlow, in clear, brief,
suggestive speech.
The influence of the gathering must re-
suit in good to all who enjoyed it. The
next session is to be held in Ludlow, in
June, 1871.
Mr.. o. G. Gilbert of Saratoga Springs,
a colored man, gave lecture on Sabbath
evening at the Baptist meeting house, on
the condition and prospects of the Freed
men. We have been rather "taken in"
by one or two other colored lecturers, but
Mr.. Gilbert is a man of ability and is
familiar with the history of slavery, and
progress among his race. Hence the lec-
ture was instructive and entertaining.
We thought while he was speaking that
many white man would be greatly i'm
proved by transferring Mr.. Gilberts head
to his own shoulders.
There was no service at the Congre-
gational house of worship on Sunday, the
pastor, Ell. War;, being absent on &C
count of his fathers illness.
The Baptist pulpit was filled by the
pastor, who delivered discourse in the
afternoon on Paurs words, death work
eth in US, but life in you," showing how
essential death is as an anteaedent to all
life, in nature and in grace.
-"Still they come" those city clergy,
men, judges, etc., to Phelps Hotel. They
have just found how quiet and lovely a
place this is. A genial Presbyterian
divine was as much surprised as pleased to
find hotel where liquors are not sold.
He said to your correspondent, l am sur
prised to find SO moral a place. have seen
no liquor, no drunkenness, and scarcely
heard any profanity" He was informed
that it was so all the time. Not one In
toxicated man have I seen here in two
and half years.
