A PLEASANT PLACE OF SUMMER RESORT
NEAR HOME.
WEST BRATTLEBoRo, Vermont,

| WEST BRATTLEBORO, Vermont, !
August, 1870.
| It has been said that the extreme heat
of the season has, this year, driven the
greater crowd seawsrd, but in my own
rambles [ have seen little to confirm such
an impression. Iu this direction there is
certainly no perceptible thinning out as
yet And why should there be, when
fresh breezes and fair landscapes and the
best of company and tables loaded with
the products of garden and hillside and
orchard, are In such unfailing abundance.
The village of West Brattleboro, mum
bering about fifty dwellings, beside stores,
hotels, shops, and a female seminary, il
neat and well kept, amply shaded with
naples and elms, and nesties in as charm
ing valley as you can find in all New
England The hills which environ it are
now abrupt and now sioping, partially
wooded, and in summer time always
green. There are no points from which
you can gain extensive views, but great
er variety and freshness seems hardly
possible To-day the air is as sweet as in
June; last nights rain having cooled
and refreshed the hot and thirsty earth.
Next to it's natural attractions, the first
dies seminary. THAT That's young
ladies' female seminary y said young
man who was proud of being able to give
valuable ipformatioa. But the writer
can remember when the ground upon
which it stands was occupied by an acad-
emy for both sexes; slightly imposing
structure with tall poplars at the right
and left of its door, and iu which, not
Al.
were trained for college, and young la
dies to be teachers and "helpmeets." IL
need not remind the reader that those
were days when the prevailing theory re-
specting men and women was that of the
soak and vine" 1t was further thought !
that it was a good thing tor young ladies
and gentleman to be educated together
good for them intellectually and morally,
for their minds and their manners. no
matter if there was little cautious love-
now and then. There were tne
best of opportunities for knowing each
others talents and tempers. L stand up
for the mixed system; and my wife agrees
with me.
In those days Father Harris. was the
literary prince of the village, and "Uncle
Tom did the tall storytelling at the
horse.sheds, on Sunday moons. tell
you," he would say, stake the locust and
split it into rails, and lay these heart
edge up, into fence and they will last
forever. I've tried itw But the dynasty
Of Fathar Harris has passed away, albiet
his erect form and slightly jerky step may
be seen on occasions in the village yet.
As for Uncle Tom he has gone where the
have no need of horse-sheds,
and story-tellers have more cautious
regard to facts.

RepubIicanism in Louisiana.

The Republicans of Louisiana make &
declaration of principles, which have the
right ring and are in accord with the
platform of the Chicago platform OF 1868
endorsing the fifteenth amendment and
favoring laws for its enforcement,
The principles of equal rights to al
mankind, whether at the ballot-box, il
tho public schools, or pursuit of business
without distiuctionsof caste, race or ma
tionality, are recognized with a determi
nation for their enforcement, believing
that no government is republican unless
its citizens can exercise the free right O
suffrage, and that every voter should b.
secured the iualionable right to cast hi,
ballot az he may select, In this they take
the true view that manhood end not mon
ey makes tho true citizen, and therefore
the poor man should be protected equally
with the rich, providing for q liberal
homestead exemption law.
In the euforccmnnt Of law and order
the constitution and laws should be
obeyod until questioned before the courts
and it. il Jhe duty of every good citizen tc
obey she provi-ions Of every law until de
olared null by the highest judicial tribu
nal The Republicans, as party of pro.
gres7, should encourage internal improve
ments, the expansion of our commerce
the full development of material resources
It is also asserted that special legislation
too, tends to encourage corruption and
subvert good government, and that il
should be checked aud abolished.

THE CONCERT BY MRS. EDGERTON's
CLAss.-The concert given by Mrs. Ed.
gerton's Singing Glass on Tuesday even

success, giving satisfaction to the large
audience assembled on the occasion. The
choruses by her class of about 20 Misses
dressed in white, were given with a pre-
cision and expression tLAt evinced care

and taking into consideration the extreme
youth of nearly all of her class, she has
reason to be proud of the manner in which
they acquitted themselves.

BENsoN.-The Railroad question has
again assumed new shape in this town.
By propositions received from business
men on the other side of the lake who are
interested in the completion of the White
hall and Plattsburgh r iilroad, and who
desire an outlet that their road may be
made available, our town was induced to
again try TO bond for $4,000 to aid in the
construction of the Fair Haven and Lake
Shore Railrosd as such an outlet. a meet
ing for that purpose was called last Satur-
day Aug. Goth. A full attendance as usual.
The meeting was called to order by the
clerk who read the petition and the
warning R D. King was elected Modera-
tor. The question OF bond and anti-bond
has been so thoroughly debated for the
last eight months that debate seemed un-
necessary, and after motion to bond the
town for $4,000 With certain conditions,
a vote was had which resnlted in favor of
bonding. The vote stood 102 for TO 100
against Hon. L. c. Kellogg, J. S. Girls
wold and John Balls were elected COM
missioners to canvas the town and
secure the grand list and also a majority
of the tax payers, as IS required by the
enabling act Of 1869. The result was
surprising to many, especially the anti
bonders, who were sure Of success. Moth
ing daunted, they have another warning
up to hold q meeting, September 3, TO see
If the town will vote 10 reconsider that
vote. Ia the meantime The commissioners
are busy with the books. with good pros
pect of securing a majority of the grand
list before that meeting comes Of.

But ''as was going TO say" times and
other things have changed The quon-
dam sehool-boy returns to find that boys
are no longer wanted here; at least in
term time. The ancient academy has
given place TO the more elegant struc-
lures and the smpler grounds of a school
for young ladies only-an excellent in
stitution of its class, aud presided over by
a prinoipal-Miss Tenney abund-
antly qualified for her position. Aud
these are the halls and the grounds which
have, for a few summer weeks 20 gener-
ously opened their doors and extended
their arms for "summer boarders." And
here they are,-the grave aud the gay,
the lame and the lazy. You will SEQ
them, for the atmosphere ia literary, book
in hand, upon the numerous ssttees under
maple and evergreen shades at all times
of the day. For their evenings enter
tainment, Prof. Welch, who is here from
Yale college, brings out his gymnastie
class, which Is composed of ladies and
gentlemen who are under training as
teachers of that art, and puts them
through their evolutions and exercises.
And have no doubt yOu would be as as
tonished, as the admirers of muscle are
cheered, as they march and stamp and
beat their chests and gesticulate and atu-
tudinize. Occasionally the guests recre-
ate themselves with parlor theatricsls- At
one of these the other evening pistol
charge of powder was lodged IN the eye
of one of the actors. The play, believe,
was entitled "Blunderbuss," and this, it is
to be presumed, was not part Of the pro-
gramme.
This pleasant village is just now re-
| ioicing In a newly discovered mineral
spring. Mr.. Z Atwood il the happy own
er of the soil and rock from which IL
gushes forth and distinguished chem
ist has pronounced the water TO be most
valuable for its tonic and Alternative prop
critics.
Even SO meager a sketch as this should
not be concluded without some silusion
to the village preacher, ReV.Joseph Ch and
Ter, who, for quarter of a century, has
done a quiet, but by 10 means fruitless
work among his beloved people. a dozen
years ago heard him IN "charge" at
the ordination of a youthful preacher,
say, 81 charge you, my brother, 70 avoid
the holy tones. Have 20 much more of
genuine religion that you can sff 'rd to be
natural" Excellent COUNSEL And few
have given better ILLUSTRATION of IT'S excel
lence than he. Nay another quarter of a
century be added 20 his years and work.

AMERICAN SUNDAY SCHOOL WORKER.
The August number of the American
Sunday School Worker, published at St.
Louis at $3.50 year, contains very good
original and selected articles for Parents
and Sunday School Teachers and Officers,
and popular and excellent lesson for the
Sabbath School, for each Sabbath, with
two pages of matter to aid the teacher on
each lesson. The plan and design of one
lesson, for the whole school, with the use
of such a magazine for the teachers, and
lesson papers for the scholars, is rapidly
taking the place of all other modes of in
struetion in the Sabbath School. The pub
fisher of this mAgazina, j. w. Mcintyre,
offers to send specimen copies of the maga-
zine and lesson paper, without charge to
any address.

ter, Burlington would never have been
represented in the United States Senate
by one of her favorite sons. The people,
however much they may like the Doc
tor personally, will not forget these facts
when they go to the polls. There is
also another thing that makes it rather
bad for the Doctor. 1t was DIR. Carpenter
who headed split ticket for Representa-
tive against the regular Republican nomi-
nee, T. III. Van Sicklen, and carrisd it to
the polls in all its bitterness, only with
drawing when, after the first ballot, it be-
came evident that he could not be elect
ed. The people who participated in that
fight will not soon forget it, and cannot
feel kindly toward the prominent prompt
ers of that most bitter strife. We predict
that he will lose many votes that other
wise would have been polled for him but
for his connection with the subjects we
have mentioned.-A4guS and Patriot.

BURGLARY.-The store of Samuel Hay
ward and Co, on Washington street was
burglarously entered on Wednesday night
or Thursday morning, and, at least, a
~eh of cloth of the value of some thirty
two dollars take-> therefrom.
When Mr. Thornton, a member of the
firm, opened the store on Thursday morn.
ing, he noticed that one Of the back win.
dows was open, and on examining it he
found that the upper middle light of glass
of the lower sash had been removed, thus
enabling person outside to reach the
fastening and open the window without.
The money drawer showed that an at
tempt had been made to open it, but
without success, and it is probable that
the burglar w. frightened rom some
movements made by the family living
over the store while at.work there. 1t is
impossible to tell, with certainty whether
any thing was taken in addition to the
cloth, as in a grocery store large quaint
ties of goods might be taken withou
