HIGH PRICES FOR LEcTUREs.-A
Pottsville (Pa) correspondent of the Phil.
adelphia Bulletin says: "Our people are
on a strike against war prices for lectures.
I believe the receipts would be larger if
25 cents admission were charged instead
Of 80 cents. In the large cities the high
prices may be maintained, but in smaller
places the audiences at fifty cent lectures
are growing smaller by degrees and beau.
tifully less Lecturers must come
down in their prices or confine themselves
to the great cities. They are paid out Of
all proportion to the amount of work they
actually perform, and greatly out Of pro-
portion to the prices commanded by other
literary work-if, in fact, the mere repi
tition of lecture after it has been once
delivered can be called literary work.

FIRE IN CAsTLEToN.-The people of
Castleton were startled, Thursday morn
ing, by the alarm Of fire, caused by the
flames which were seen pouring from the
roof of the old Westover Hotel. In less
than two hours the whole building was a
shapeless mass of ruins. But little dam
age was done to other buildings, as there
was comparatively little wind, and the
fire department was promptly on hand
with their two engines, working nobly
and doing good service with the limited
amount of water at their command. The
shoe shop of A. Loveland, immediately
adjoining the hotel, was taken down and
the timber and lumber removed to pre-.
vent the fire from spreading to the Bash
ford grocery building, L. w. Preston's
residence and the Union Block, which for
a time were in immediate danger of being
destroyed. The building was owned by
W. N. Bachelor, Esq, and was fully in
sured. There were eight families residing
in the building, one of whom had only
moved in the day previous. This is the
second destructive fire with which Castle.
ton has been visited within the past three
weeks.

A DIseRACEFUL AFFAIR.--About 3
o'clock yesterday afternoon q cry for
the "Police" was heard in Center street.
As near IA we can now ascertain the
police were called for under the following
circumstances --.
Mr.. P. S. Ryan, one of our hardware
merchants who had been confined to his
house for several days, and who was out,
yesterday, for the second time, called in.
to Jerkowski's clothing store, on Center
street, yesterday afternoon and engaged
in conversation with Mr.. Jerkowski and
Mr.. Atwood, of Boston. As they were
thus conversing, Mr.. William III. Moody,
entered the store, approached these gem
tlemen and Haunting piece of paper in
their faces said, in substance, "this is
settled for twenty cents on the dollar"
ct appears that this was note for some
two hundred dollars executed by person
who had lately failed in tusiness) To
whichIone of the gentlemen, not Mr.. Ryan,
responded that no knew of a person who
had claim that could not be settled for
twenty cents, and that business would
have to be done under another name for
some time before such settlement would
be made, and in reply to question from
Moody, he further remarked that the per-
son did not live thousand miles from
Rutland After some further talk Moody
said that he had always paid a hundred
cents on dollar and that he was good,
or something to that effect At this
stage Of the conversation, Mr.. Ryan,
who it seems had claim against
the person alluded to, remarked to
Mr.. Moody that his rame was moi
known in Rutland, and that the PEG.
pie of Rutland knew nothing about him.
and then added, at the same time laugh.
ing, that he Ryan would not trust him
Moody for five dollars. To which Moody,
in an angry manner replied that he would
not be told that nor be iusulted by any
d Irish gas filter, at the same time
striking him in the face, clinching and
throwing him down. At this stage Of
the proceeding, Mr.. Atwood goes to the
door and calls for the police. The cry
attracted the attention of Mr.. John Ryan,
son of Mr.. P. s. Ryan, who, not know
ing what was taking place, entered the
store and found his father on the floor
with Moody assaulting him. This was
more than a son could endure, to see q
stout, healthy person, assaulting his sick
father, and he Immediately came to the
rescue, and to make long story short, he
not only took his fathers part, but severe.
~ punished the assailant.

CAPITAL PUNJsHMENT-A QUERY
The discussion and action in our late
Legislature upon the subject of Capital
Punishment cannot have failed to interest
thinking minds. I want little informa-
tion. The bill passed by the House abol-
ishing the Death Penalty, if understand
it, made imprisonment at hard labor for
life "the penalty" for murder, no matter
how aggravating the case might be. Now
if this were the law of the land, should
we not find it utterly impossible, in
certain cases to punish the murderer at
all? It has been no uncommon occur.

SUPREME CoURT.-The Supreme Court
of Judicature for the County of Rutland
will commence its session on Monday.
January 30th Chief Justice John Pier
point will preside, assisted by Judges
Hon. Homer E. Royce, and Hon. Timothy
P. Redfeld
Twenty-Five cases are set down for trial,
among which is the celebrated case OF
James Brown and others o. Evelyn Pier
point and other, which has reference to
titles of certain lands in the village OF
Rutland, The case was heard some time
since at the general term of the Supreme
Court, at Montpelier, and has since been
with the Court for decision. We suppose
decision in the case will be given at this
term.
The only cases other than this that ex.
cited much interest in the lower Court
are the following:
John G. Thompson o. Charles II. Cong
don. This will be remembered as the
case of note in which the plaintiff pro-
cured verdict on his declaration and
the defendant secured verdict on plea of
offset.
William o. Harrison o. Henry G..
Harrison. The celebrated Chittenden
trespass case, which excited some com.
ment at the time of trial and in which a
verdict was rendered for the plaintiff, to
which exceptions were taken by the de-.
fendant
The remaining cases are Of the ordinary
character that have gone up on excep-
tions.

THE CAPITOL GROUNDS.
Who has even visited the Capitol and
not noticed the contrast between the east
and west fronts grounds? The lawns
and fountains of the west grounds,
strangely contrasting with the broad space
Of mud and dirt upon the other side of
the building. This ground has been en-
tirely unincumbered by grass and leaves,
and has rejoiced in all of its native free
dom since my earliest recollection of the
Capitol. Now its Sahara like similitude
is being lost in q nicely dressed plat upon
each side of Central front step. The
plats are surrounded by curb of granite,
and add much to the appearance of the
surroundings.
FASHION IN WASHINGTON.
I have never written of fashions to the
staid people of Vermont who generally
rise above such things; but as the EN-
press Eugene ia no longer the recognized
leader, and as fashion plates fail to be re-
ceived regularly by balloon or carrier
pigeon from Paris, the world has rather
looked to us for these things of late.
AS the diplomatic world look to Presi.
dent Grant as our head, and Secretary
Fish as our leading statesman, go the la
dies of those distinguished officials are BY
common consent regarded as important
percentages in the world of fashion. 1t lie,
however, gratifying to know that neither
of these ladies aspire to be regarded as
leaders; that they neither endorse or
adopt the many Inconsistencies of extreme
fashion, as attempted to be introduced BY
Madame's or French dressmakers of New
York.
Mrs. Grant, upon being interviewed"
has very modestly deferred in matters of
dress to Mrs. Fish, who being recognized
as one who ought to know, has spoken de-
cidedly in favor of the short dress for all
occasions, not decidedly full dress,' for
the reason Of their being more comfortable
and healthy. Referring to the time spent
by American ladies in dressing. she con-
trasts it with the custom of Victoria's
household which allows her ladies but
fifteen minutes in which to dress. Mrs.
Fish reads and speaks several foreign
languages, and presides with grace and
dignity at the mansion of the Secretary of
State. It is to be hoped that her prefer
renee for short dresses, for the street es-
pecially, may be needed, and the dis
gushing spectacle of the few long dresses
lately seen sweeping the filthy sidewalks
will no longer shock our sense ofpropriety.

FIRE-At about fifteen minutes to ten
o'clock last evening, our citizens were
startled by an alarm Of fire, occasioned by
the burning of an unfinished building at
the corner of North and Pearl streets.
The building was owned by Norman
Hudson, ard was q two story building
with an ell part attached, designed for q
dwelling house. The inside of the build.
ing was completed with the exception Of
plastering, Mr.. Hudson, himself, being
engaged up to about nine o'clock last
evening in finishing the painting. There
was stove in the room designed for a
kitchen, in which there had been nre
during the day and evening, and although
Mr.. Hudson was particular to sweep away
everything in front Of the stove, yet there
seems to be no doubt, from the location OF
the fire when discovered, that it must
have originated from the stove. The
building was entirely consumed, Mr..
Hudson estimating his loss at about
twenty-six hundred dollars, which was
covered by insurance to the extent OF
eighteen hundred dollars in the Farmers
Mutual, represented by NJ. J. Francisco.

Are there any broken desks or benches /?
Has the room been cleaned, the stove

not parents to look to these things2 1t
is the duty Of teachers to talk and work
until the school-room is comfortable and
tidy. A prudential committee that does
its duty will save the teacher this work;
but if it is not done by others, the teacher
must do it; or at least it ought to be
done. Scholars viii be happier at school,
will be more regular, learn better, if the
school house is decent. The teacher will
do better. The school will be better.
