Cheese Factory.
CHARLOTTE, VT, May 80.

CHARLOTTE, VT, May ~.
Editor RUt70nd Herald Reading in
your columns of many enterprises, Incl
dents, and the progress of various public
institutions, we hasten to give you few
observations made in less than an hour in
the Charlotte Cheese Factory hoping
they may not prove unworthy, or entirely
void of interest.
After few moments ride Ill company
with shining cans of milk, and an enter
prising young scion, full of energy, and
enterprise peculiar to some, in this age OF
progress; we soon landed with cans, milk
and curiosity, at the factory, already busy,
with the hum and stir of various people
who were leaving milk, by the tons, at
the scales, each having his portion weigh
ed and marked to his credit
The Factory, as an edifce, over one
hundred feet long, does credit to any
agricultural town, erected both in view
to sanitary and economical conditions. 1t
is joint stock enterprise of a farming
community, who have improved their
native cows, which yield the richest and
best of material for the daily manufacture
of such cheese, among the best found in
the Boston Market. The watts were large,
clean and bright, under the control of a
cheese maker from Buffalo, a young lady
of experience and ability, who make from
twelve to sixteen cheese per day, weigh
ing from fifty TO sixty pounds each.
Above, on the second floor, we counted
large numbers in the drying and curing
process, which time and skill perfect, in
quality and color, already stamped with
date of making, bearing an impress of
progress in all its chemical and mechani-
cal bearings.
We are informed over two thousand
cheese during the season will be ehiPPod
to Boston market. Aside from the gains
and profits of the institution i'll pecuni-
airy point to the stockholders, the cares of
many homes are lessened, thus affording
various inmates more time for reading
and self. culture, thereby bringing about
a change in social life, as we'll as progress
and refinement in their various tastes and
conditions.
In these days of Il fiygactrets" and "trip
perry woman's rights and strong minded
women, we are glad to know " CheeFe
Factories" are an institution, among
others of modern birth whereby women
Of experience in that line earn from
twelve to twenty dollars per week and ex-
penses found-affording them an equival-
ent for their time and ability. Werej"ice
the day has come when women can pre-
side in confidence and in union Of inter
ests financially with her patrons, in things
more substantial, reliable and lucrative,
than the artificial arbitrary exacting re-
sources of keeping boarding house, or
the slow delving process of finding liv-
ing, "habitation and name" at the
point Of cambria needle.

HE CONSTITUTIONAL CONyENTIoN.-
The Constitutional Convention assemblies
on Wednesday of next week. We see by
our exchanges that there is some discus
sion in reference to the Presidency of the
Convention. There is long list of hon.
ored names of men from whom to select
competent presiding officer. Most of these
gentlemen have already been highly hna-
ored in the State and Legislative halls, in
the years Of the past, and no mere cleo
ton to this position will confer additional
honor upon them. There are, however,
men of less years who are members of the
convention, and it is due TO the young
men of the State that one of their number
should be rendered the Presidency of that
body. Prominent and foremost among
this class is the Hon. George Nichols of
Mortified, whose acknowledged ability,
knowledge of Parliamentary practice, eff
cient perform ance of all duties, courtesy
and presence mark him as a gentleman
eminently qualified for the Presidency of
the convention. He is also deserving of
this recognition from his fellow members
and the State, whom he has so faithfully
served in position of arduous labor. 1t
is earnestly hoped that the convention will
honor him with its unanimous vote for
the Presidency, acknowledging the claims
of the young men, and secure prompt,
efficient presiding officer who will do hon
or to himself and the State.

The church in Fairhaven was organized
December IA, 1867, with 81 constituent
members. mostly from the church at
Hvdeville. from which they had received
dismission, with the best wishes for their
prosperity in new church relation.
Alanson Allen and I. N. Churchill were
chosen deacons, and the pulpit was sup
piled at times by the late Rev. Leland
Howard of Rutland; o. Cunningham, OF
Rutland; and by Rev. II. L. Crosse, then
of Ballston, N. Y, during whose term the
church was recognized and fellowshipped
by an Ecclesiastical Council, in January,
1868. There was at that time an unusual
religious interest among christians in the
village, many persons were hopefully con-
verted to Christ, and among them several
sought home in the Baptist communion
four Of whom were baptized by Mr.. Grose
to whom fell the privilege of being the
first to administer the ordinance of bap'
tism in Fairhaven, according to New Tes
lament direction and primitive usage
June l., 1868, Rev. p. f. Jones became
pastor, and soon after baptized several
more who had been in waiting previous
to his settlement. He left at the end Of
ten months. The desk was subsequently
supplied by Rev. W. A. Bacon, for several
months. In September, 1869, Rev. d
Spencer of Brooklyn, N. Y, was called tc
become pastor, which relation he sustains
at the present time. During his term Of
service he has baptized eleven professed
disciples. May greater success crown the
future.

The Candidate for GovernN

The death of Governor Washburn In
wolves the nomination Of new Candidate
for Governor, by the Republicans of YER
mont. Who the man shall be, or whether
taken from the East or West side of the
mountains is question that has been dis
cussed in political circles and canvassed
by the Press. The calling of the Repub-
lican State Convention is tending to
settle this question, and make clear the
political atmosphere. Several gentlemen
have been suggested julius Converse,
Dudley G. Denison, George W. Hendee,
A. L. Miner, Frederick Billings, Horace
Fairbanks and John W. Stewart, either
of whom would be selection satisfactory
to the people. The question of locality
has been practically settled from the fact
that neither of the gentlemen on the East
side desired the nomination for less than
the usual period of two years, which
leaves the matter for Western Vermont
to determine. While we should have
been pleased to have supported Mr.. Con-
verse or Mr.. Billings, BELIEVING it eminent
ly proper to have taken a candidate from
Windsor County, and the home of the
lamented Washburn for the balance of
his term, yet for the full term, of the Co.
vernorship by rotation and custom be-
longs West of the mountains.
These questions being settled, Western
Vermont, from popular indications.has, no
difficulty in presenting the name of one
of our eminent citizens for Governor. The
people have long been waiting to honor
with the executive position Hon. John
W. Stewart of Middlebury. The time
seems to have arrived when the wishes of
his friends can be gratifed. He will be
presented to the Republican Convention
with substantial unanimity, and will be
hailed by the people OF all sections with
enthusiasm, and undoubtedly will receive
the UNANIMOUS suffrage of the Convention.
John w Stewart is too well known to
the freemen of our Commonwealth to re-
quipe commendation, or an analysis of
the peculiar qualifications in Lis posses
sion to fit him for its chief executive. He
is lawyer of marked ability, practical
legislator of rare discrimination and dis
certion, as has been amply testified by a
large experience, in both branches of the
General Assembly. His mind is of a
character, that has given him a rare YER
satility, adapting him to all the varying
positions and circumstances of life, blend
ing solidity with a geniality that has
rendered him a popular speaker and the
courteous gentleman. 4 man of scholarly
tastes, cultivation has rendered him among
the leading literary men of the State.
This review of the qualifications of Mr..
Stewart indicate his eminent fitness for
the high position for which he is named.
1t will be fitting recognition of the
public services, high character and lead
ing position of John W. Stewart, to ten
der him the office of Governor of his ma
tive State, that he has served so faithfully
and ably in the past, giving to his fellow
citizens the sprest guarantee that he will
administer its high duties with fidelity to
the interests of the people, and with honor
to himself.

CHARACTERISTICS.

About fifty vacant stores are found in
this village in the winter, but in the sum.
mer they are all occupied by dealers in
various wares, principally lace goods,
millinery, and things to tempt women and
children and irritate paterfamilias. The
army of nurses and children which are
always seen in the parks of New York
City, emigrate to this place during the
season, and with coachmen the fash.
ionable old firtations are renewed. A
new character introduced himself last
season, for he certainly was not invited,
the three-card monte man. He fiourished
for while, but the village police finally
expelled him. Gambling-houses are de-
signated club-houses, and are recognized
by seeing number of men standing
around with their coats off, and smoking
pure Hayanas imported from Westfeld,
Mass.

Arrest and Narrow Escape.

james Murphy of Rhode Island, z. j.
Leonard and T. M. O'Herron of Bridge
port, and Milo J. Crosby of st. Adams
visited the Canadian camp ground at
Pigeon Hill on Sunday afternoon and
were all arrested, together with the driver
who was in the employ of Messrs Gilmore
& Brainard. They were taken before
Lieut.. Col Osborne Smith the Comm and
ing Officer, and critically examined.
Deputy Marshal Failey CHANGED tn be
passing, and being called in by Crosby
be vouched for him and the driver and
they were at once discharged, Leonard
claimed to hail from Springfield Mass,
and represented that he was going to
Montreal to see an uncle named Holland.
Captain Rogers of Montreal immediate
ly informed the Colonel that there was no
such man there. Leonard thus unex-
pectedly found himself in a corner, but
got cut of it by saying that he had adver-
tised for his uncle and was in search of
him. He claimed to have seen O'Herron
that morning for the first time, having
met him and the others at the livery
stable where they had all gone for eiogle
teams, and so all took a doub'c team to-
getber. The plausible story, Ashich was
told for the occasion, was satis' ctor, and
they were discharged, exchan ing with
the Canadian Colonel and Captain cour-
teous invitations to visit each other in
Springfield and Montreal.
Leonard has been here since the com
mencement of the raid, and since its fail
ure has been busy in getting his men off
home. The last squad of fife. n he sent
home Monday morning, payin:, their fare
himself.

CAsTLEToN.-A Doubtful C0rrect50n.-
In the HERALD of the Sd, "B. w. B."
asks permission "to correct an error that
appeared in the Grafton of Decoration Day,
relative to the officers Of Co B., of the I'd
Vermont Regiment" The correction Of
fercd consists i'll substituting the name of
+. A. johnson in the place of Henry d.
Noble, as I'd Lieutenant of the Company.
I am not assured of the correctness of
this correction.
2. The Grafton says nothing about GO,
B. of the I'd Vermont Regiment" 1t sim
ply states that ON or about the 25th of
April, 1861, public meeting was held in
Castleton village, at which time and place
"Forty lone men enrolled themselves as
members of a volunteer company, and
chose James Hopeifor Captain, John Howe
for 1st Lieutenant, and Henry d. Noble
for I'd Lieutenant
2. The Grafton does not say that these
were the officers of the company, when
mustered into the service and assigned a
place in the Cd Vermont Regiment.
B. The New York Daily Times, of A pril
81, 1861, closes an account OF the meeting
in Castleton, above referred to, with these
words: 1.-THE officers of the company are
as follows: Captain, James Hope; First
Lieutenant, John Howe Second Lieuten-
ant, Henry d. Noble"
a. Capt. James Hope says the statement
of the New York Times is correct In
the provisional organization of the COM
pany, at the meeting on or about the 25th
of April, Henry D. Noble was chosen Cd
Lieutenant. Afterwards, at the perma-
in place of Mr.. Noble.
This I suppose is the truth of history,
and ''B. w. B" is himself slightly in error.
bslt, even if the report of the meeting at
Castieton, on which I have relied, should
prove to be wrong, the error is so trivial
that shall not regret having fallen into
II, especially as ID has given .'B. w. b."
opportunity to pay the fre tribute to the
late Col. johnson, which was due to the
merits of that distinguished officer of the
I'd Vermont Regiment.
Query-Is not "B. w B." mistaken
when he speaks of a company being raised
in Castleton Gin May, 1860 ?" The ora.
ton has no reference to company ENROLL

FATAL ACCIDENT IN PoULTNEY.-On
Tuesday last Mrs. Charlotte Wood, of
Poultney, was engaged at her residence
just south of the village, in putting away
some feather beds, in an upper room. was
almost instantly killed by the falling of a
pole and the bed, which was being hung
upon it. Mrs. Wood was among the older
residents of the town and was sister of
Mr. Martin Hyde. This painful circum-
stances will fall heavily upon an aged
mother, now nearly "a years of age, who
had depended upon this daughter, for
care and attention for many years. Mrs.
Wood was for many years resident of
Tinmouth.

SARATOGA, June 4, 1870.
BY the opening of the principal hotels
during the past week the fashionable wat
ering season at this place has been duly
inaugurated. Last season the air was
cool, and genuine hot day was rarity
but this past week the days have been
regular scorchers, thereby promising a
double dose for what was lacking last sea-
son. Each incoming train brings its
quota of visitors, and the different hotels
and clearinghouse are eagerly sought.
The prospects for the season. are unusually
brilliant, and the residents are making
great efforts to have this the greatest one
that Saratoga has ever known. One can
generally imagine what the season will
amount to by the influx of strangers the
first week. The Congress Hall was OPEN
ed one week ago to-day, and it now has
eighty boarders, which certainly is as
good beginning as could be desired. The
success of the other hotels is in proper
ton.

MIDDLETowN.-Am meeting was held at
Middletown on Saturday last to see
whether the people of that place would
celebrate the Tooth anniversary of the set
Element of the town, which occurs this
year. The meeting was fully attended
and addressed by Henry Clark, of Rut-
land, and others. An official report has
been expected from the officers of the
meeting, but as yet it has not been given,
and we can not give in full the proceed
ings of the meeting. 1t was voted at the
meeting, unanimously we believe, to hold
the celebration on the 18th of August
next. We shall, when we get the report
of that meeting, give at length what may
be of interest in connection with the in
tended centennial at Middletown.
The hotel that is now in process OF
construction at Middletown is moving
rapidly towards completion, and when
done promises to be one of the finest
buildings in Vermont. The enterprise in
Middletown in connection with the
springs there now has every indication of
success.-P0Wltaaey Bulletin.

DRIVES.

An act was passed at the last session of
the State Legislature, authorizing this
town to bond itself, and appointing COM
missioners to repair the roads and drives
near this place. They are already max

dications are that we shall soon have a
number of frst-class roads Union
Avenue, leading to Saratoga Lake, is to

touched, which will make it the prettiest
drive in the vicinity. The drive 10 Ex-
celsiOr Lake is & short one, aud the seen

STREETS AND GROVES
The principal streets of the village have
been macadamised during the past spring
and are much improved thereby. The
Congress Spring Park is the great resort
of loupgers during the warm days of
simmer. It is furnished with iron chairs
and settees, and is principally on a hill
overlooking the spring. The Columbian
Spring is in this park, short distance
from the Congress. The walks are well
shaded and numerous. The park is at the
head Of the famous VALLEY of the
Springs" and it affords one a pleasant
reverie to sit and think of this valley, its
length, inhabitants. springs, etc. The
Pavilion Park is an old one but has been
recently reformed, and walks have been
laid out and graded. 1t encloses the
Pavilion and United States Springs. The
Indian Encampment is in grove a short
distance from the Congress Park. Visitors
delight in tempting the young aborigines
to shoot at their unprecedented brethren
on cents, and they have no particular an
tipathy towards SO doing, either. There
are many other groves which are fire.

season.
