your face while shaving, or stubbedyour

remembered tha: you failed to meet

took a short turn on n friend, or cheated

have cared the snap ofyour finger about

these occurrences justify you in cIouding
the whole household, in hurting the

"Our Grand Eist.v

Editor R,ttLdnd Herald In your paper
of March 18th, is an article under the
above caption from the Free Press and
Times. I do not quite agree with the
writer in all he says, though | admit
there might be improvement in the list
ing law. The injustice complained of,
consists in departure from the require
ments Of the law. The law, as under
stand it, requires all property, both real
and personal, to be assessed sat its true
g0I1te IN money!" Is there any injustice
in that? Is it partial or unequal? But
he virtually admits the equality of the
law when he says, "While an honest ap-
praisal and an honest grand list, would,
in our own affairs, tend to adjust Unequal
ity and injustice in our municipal taxes
under the present law, unless the same
honest rule be applied throughout the
State, our honesty would be reaoar0led by
an increased burden of State taxation"
So, after all, it turns out that the wrong
consists, as said before, in the departure
from, not the fulfllment of the law. He
says, "under the present system, the list
ers have no guide to secure uniformity,
and in each town in the State they are
left to follow their several judgments and
whims, in the listing of personal prop
erty." And he proposes to remedy this
by having a committee appointed to re-
port schedule valuation of personal
property throughout the State. For in
stance: oxen, 500; COWS, $50, SC. Now
l would ask, in all candor, would that be
justP Is the actual value of all oxen
800, and all cows $50? Why, some
oxen may be worth $500 and Others less
than 500, and the same difference with
all the other stock. Why not say the
same by real estate, and value all faras
alike; at least all of the same size? I
can see no reason why it would not be
just as fair. This would be an advance
backward, as, if I recollect rightly, that
is something like the old system of forty
years ago, when stock of the same age
went into the Int at the same rate.

Message from the President.

The President on Thursday transmitted
to Congress the following message:
In an executive message of December
6, 1869, to Congress, the importance of
taking steps to revive our deoaying mer-
chant marine was urged, and special
message promised at future day during
the present session, recommending more
specifically plans to accomplish this re-
suit. Now that the committee of the
House of Representatives entrusted with
the labor of ascertaining the cause of the
decline of American commerce has COM
pleted its work and submitted report to
the legislative branches of the govern
ment, deem this fitting time to execute
that promise. The very able, calm and
exhaustive report of the committee
points out grave wrongs which have
produced this decline in our commerce.
1t is a national humiliation that we are
compelled to pay from twenty TO thirty
million dollars annually, exclusive of
passage money, which we should share
with other nations, to foreigners for their
doing the work which should be done by
American-owned and American manned
vessels. This Is direct drain upon the
resources OF the country of lust SO much
money equal to casting it into the sea- SO
far as the nation is concerned A nation
of the vast and ever-increasing interior
resources of the United States, extending
as it does, from one to the other of the
great oceans of the world, with an indus
trious, intelligent and energetic popula-
ton, must one day possess its full share
Of the commerce of these oceans, no mat
ter at what cost. Delay only increases
the cost and enhances the difficulty of at
tanning the result.
therefore put in an earnest plea for
early action in this matter in way to Sc
cure an increase of American commerce.
The advanced period of the year and the
fact that no contract for ship-building
will probably be entered into until this
question is settled by Congress, apd the
further fact that if there should be much
delay, all large vessels, contracted for this
year, will fail of completion before winter
sets in, and will therefore be carried over
another year, induce me to ask your early

OBITUARY.-Hymen Tuttle of Ben
nington, died at his residence, Thursday
morning last, of congestion of the lungs,
aged seventy-five years. Mr.. Tuttle was
among the Oldest masons of the State, and
very well known and respected by the
fraternity, having held various offices in
the order. He was among the founders
of Mount Anthony Lodge at Bennington,
riding on horseback to Montpelier in mid
winter to procure its charter; and he re-
presented that Lodge in the Grand Lodge
several years. He was ever recognized as
leader among mssons and noted for
his sterling integrity, and unfinching fl
deity to Justice. He was ever firm and
earnest in the cause of Temperance, and
Jealous in the interests of his Redesmer,
whom he labored hard to serve, under all
circumstances ever ready to defend the
right and combat with the wrong without
regard to popular opinion. He was a
recognized pillar in the Congregational
church in Bennington. Many years age
he erected the family altar and ever kept
its fires BURNING. A devoted hus-
band and father. he strove to plant
early the seeds of religion and honesty
in the hearts of his offspring. His loss
will be deeply felt in that church and
community, in Mt. Anthony Lodge and
by the brethren throughout the State
His funeral, on Saturday, was very large.

of masons from different lodges in that
vicinity. A fitting tribute to his memory
was read at the church, after the service
of the church and before the masonic ser.
vices, by ]. Halsey Cushman, Esq, OF
Bennington. Besides his widow, Mr.

NORTHERN NEW YoRK.-In the New
York Senate Tuesday, the bill amending
the char ter of the village of Plattsburgh
was passed.
The President announced the select
committee to investigate in regard to the
alleged leasing of the Ogdensburgh rail-
road to Vermont Central-Messrs. G.
f. Norton, Hubbard and Thayer.
In the assembly number of rail-
road appropriation bills were reported.
Among them one to facilitate the con-
struction of the Adirondack company's
railroad to the waters of the St. Lawrence
river at Ogdensburg, appropriating
$500 per mile, in aid of the enterprise.
MIDDLEBURY.-Them matter of interest
in our village the past week, has been
that arising from the examination of the
" MiddleDury Graded Schools" in District
No. a, composed of the village. The win
ter term closed the 23d, the examination
commencing that day, and closed the 25th.
The number of scholars in attendance dur
ing the term has averaged about $50. The
corps of teachers consisted of Mr.. @. ii.
Stone, Principal; Miss Carrie E. Richard
son, Miss Laura A. Goodrich, Miss Fran
ces Walker, Miss Matte Rowley, Miss
Ellen Fuller, Miss Mary Hackett. TIE
examinations were critically conducted by
the teachers. A large number of citizens
were present, evidently deeply interested
in the exercises. There has been good
attendance of scholars in the highest de-
partment from several of the adjoining
towns. Mr. Stone has bestowed particu-
lar attention to young men fitting to en-
ter college. Without an exception, our
teachers have acquitted themselves well,
giving much satisfaction to the entire dis
trict. They have aimed to instruct the
children and youth, and the examination
gives full proof of their success. There
too, the general department Of the scholars
has been highly improved. There has
been thorough system of order organized
and carried out by the several teachers,

BONDING FOR THE ADIRoNDACK.-We
understand that the city of Ogdensburg,
and the towns in st. Lawrence county
lying on the proposed line of the Adiron-
dack or Saratoga and Ogdensburg road,
have promptly bonded for the sum of
100000 in aid of that work. This was
the amount asked for by DR.. Durant, in
his letter of February last, and for which
he promised to construct road the COM
ing season from Ogdensburg to the iron
ore beds. So we may expect to see the
st. Lawrence end of this road completed
without delay. Ogdensburg bonded for
100000 in less than forty-eight hours, to
secure this result. Will not Rutland as
promptly bond to place herself on the
great through route from Portland to
Chicago by way of Woodstock and Rut-
land
