II will be observed that neither Ohio,
Indiana, OF Minnesota are entitled to any
Of the new bunk note circulation, and that
it nenrly all goes TO the South, which sec-
siou has now scarcely any National Banks.
The Northwestern States will receive some
thing less than five millions, while Missouri
will obtsin nearly four and a half millions.
Az California is proceeding to organize
banks under the FREQ gold bank SECTIONS of
ihe law, it is questionable whether her cap
:ialists will accept the two and half mill
nous Of notes on q greeuback basis to which
Lat State is entitled. OF the whole sev-
+.nty-nine millions to be distributed in the
South and West, the South will receive up
wards Of sixty-six millions, aud the entire
West, including Missouri and California,
less than Thirteen. The reason Illinois
comes in for 80 small share is, that abe
had no State backs in 1860, and, copse-
quenuy, gets none of the half distributed
on the basis of State banking capital
There will be an eager strife among capi.
talists for the allotment of the million and
a half of new circulation falling to the share
Of this State. 1t is reported that the S1,.
o79, ,552 will be given to new banks, and
that the $500, 500 OF the redistributed notes
will be given to existing banks. Applica-
tions are pouring in from all the States, CT,
cept California, entitled to additional :i1cu,
lation, for new bank charters under the act
The Comptroller thinks that the
whole amount allotted To the South
and West will be taken up before
the end Of the year. This will
create heavy demand for bonds for the
protection Of the new circulation, and have
n tendency to keep mp their value, in th*
fuce Of any European strifeo complication.
II will require sixty millions Of bouds to
protect the SD, ZOO, 900 Of increased circu.
lation, and, in the meanwhile, the govern
ment will purchase and burn a large amour,
of hve-twenties-their present low price
being strong temptation to buy heavily.

Gossip with the Editor.

The heavens have been merciful, at
last, and the long-prayed-for rainy days
have come.
This has been week of rain, mist and
fog, and the sun has kept behind his cur
tain of clouds, scarcely showing his bright
laughing face during the whole of it.
This has been summer of uncommon
drought, not only in this vicinity, but
throughout the country. Wig it has been,
none can tell; though there have been
vague hints and speculations by the gray
headed portion of the community, that
the multiplicity of Good Templar's Lodges
might have had something to do with it,
and, since that institution goes by water,
it is possible, for, of course, it has won
derful draining effect. I would not set
this down as fact, Mr.. Editor, nor even
as my opinion. But, be that as it may,
Nature has come to the relief of her
thirsty children, and our town is again in
Swimming" condition.
Autumn brings in her trophies, too, in
a manner most bountiful, and our barns
and granaries are fat with the rich sup
plies.
Orchards are dropping their luscious
fruits, and the vine has yielded up her
last purple cluster; while the trees are
DOMINIC their brightest colors, in pre-
paration of Natures farewell ball of the
season, where, amid the music of grand
old wind-harps, they dance merrily to the
welcoming earth.
Harvesting is done, and the husband
man begins to realize his hopes and labors
of the spring.
The evenings are lengthening rapidly,
and we are now enjoying the comforts of
the Preside.
This is a reading community. We all
'take the papers" and read them.
There is but very little light literature
read in this town. THERE'S now and then
a youth seen with a dime novel sticking
out of his pocket, but this is very seldom.
You may find, upon the shelves of our Ii
0raries, works written by such authors as
Longfellow, Topper, Hood, Todd, Hugh
Miller, the famous geologist, Byron, He
mans, Sigourney, and others too numer-
Gus to mention.
Evening entertainments generally
flourish here winters. We have our own
engineers and plenty of homemade steam,
10 You need not be surprised, Mr.. Editor,
f you very frequently hear the shrill
whistle of our lively train, as we send it
into your literary depot, and
you may feel the telegraphio wires of the
orain tremble with the wild witcheries of
bought we shall pass over them to you.
But no more at present. At another

but the evident necessity of some statute
Of this character will lead the present
General Assembly to give it favorable
consideration. Whether the bill will meet
with opposition from existing corporations
is not developed, and it is rumored it will
not. 1t is statute SO manifestly needed,
we feel sure, should it pass, it will meet
the cordial approval of the people. Such
law will save much time and expense,
and give equal rights to all and be framed
to do injustice to no special interests
The public will await with interest the
action of the lawmakers on this question.
APPOINTMENTS.
The Secretary of State has appointed
George R. Chapman as Assistant Secre-
tary OF State. This is said to be a most
excellent appointment as the incumbent
possesses fine clerical qualifications. Mr.
Charles III. Lane of Cornwall is clerk in
the same department.
The newspapers and the reading pub
lie are to be served with minute and full
reports from the official reporters. Col.
Edward M. Brown, and Chester W. Mer-
rill of Montpelier in the Senate, and from
A. G. Brown of Montpelier and D. Web
ster Dixon of st. Adams in the House.
The latter is one of the finest penmen and
most accurate and painstaking reporters
in the State. We also surmise that he
is to give us through the columns of the
st. Adams Messenger, general and spicy
session letters.

Exercises of Harvard HE
mortal Hall.

Not with the anguish of hearts that are breaking,
Come we as mourners to weep for our dead;
Grief in our hearts has grown weary with aching,
Green is the turf where our tears we have shed.
While DER their marbles the MOSES are creeping,
Stealing each name and its record away,
Give their proud story to Memory's keeping,
ShriLed in the temple we hallow to-day.
flushed are their battle fields, ended their march
es,
Deaf are their ears to the drum beat of morn
Rise from the sod, ye fair columns and arches
Tell their bright deeds to the ages unborn!
Emblem and legion may fade from the portal,
Keystone may crumbIe, and pillar may fall;
They were the builders whose work is immortal,
Crowned with the dome that is over us all

OBITUARY.-Mrs. Julia Ransom Pond, the wife
OF Col. Philip Pond and daughter of the late Col.
John Ransom of Poultney, departed this life at
her home in Castleton village, VT, on Sunday
evening, September 25th, at the ripe age of g
years.
The funeral services were held in the Liberal
Christian church, on Wednesday afternoon, and
We're fully attended by the nun erous relatives
and the large circle of sympathIzing friends
Sister Pond has been connected with the Uni
versalist church for the last thirty years. She
died trusting in Gods mercy and love,-knowing
that He, through His Providence, doeth all
things well.
For her death had no terrors. She entered the
valley Of the shadows with unfaltering step, and
with triumphant hope and faith in that better
life beyond the grave.
In the death of Sister Pond her husband has
lost an affeetionate wife, her children loving
mother, her many acquintances a faithful friend,
and the church with which she has been SO long
connected an exemplary member and a devoted
Christian.
Farewell, sister ! thou has left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel;
But tits God that has bereft u.s.
He can all our sorrows heal.
