ing. Todd, the former proprietor of the
"Chester," has gone to Cuttingsville to
"open house." We confess to no little
reluctance in striking hands with Todd
on the occasion of his departure, the
other day, for he is courteous, genial
fellow, addicted to pleasant words, cordial
greetings and generous impulses, entirely
free from that drowsy, gouty style, which
affiicts some entertainers of the public.

Mr.. STEWARDS FUNERAL.-The daily
press of the State, who were represented
at the funeral of Dugald Stewart, give
lsngthened accounts, and we quote their
concluding paragraphs. The following is
from the st. Adams Messenger
The day was unusually beautiful the
business of the town was wholly suspend
ed during the funeral, and no sound was
heard save the mournful tolling of the
church bell and the rumbling of the pass
ing trains. As the Hon. John W Stew
art, brother of the deceased, accompanied
the widow and three fatherless children
down the church aisle, bowed down with
grief, there was not a dry eye or an un-
touched hrast in that vast assembly.
That gentleman so universally
beloved and universally respected by high
and low, rich and poor, should have been
cut down by death in the flower eff his
manhood and in the zenith of his usefuS
ness, is one of those mysterious dispensa-
tions that can only be thought of in Won
der and tears. And SO a great and large
hearted man, useful public servant, a
devoted father and faithful friend, has
joined the majority and is forever buried
from our sight
The Free Press says: The final scene
Mt the grave was extremely affecting, the
grief of the relatives for the loss of one so
dear to them breaking out uncontrollably
For all, both friends and relatives, the
sadness of the day was deepened by the
fact that an old and valued servant and
friend of the family, the nurse in infancy
of both the brothers Stewart, lay at the
time corpse in the house of Hon. John
W. Stewart, having passed away since
the death of her foster-child.

FRANKLIN COUNTY COURT. - The
April term of the Franklin County Court,
Hon. VIM. G. Wilson, presiding, Hon.
Walter G. Stevens of Highgate, and Hon.
John X, Whitney of Franklin, assistants,
will be held at st. Albans, on Tuesday,
April 18th. Only 10 causes are set down
for trial by jury. Mr.. Henry Oviatt OF
Boston, stenographic reporter, will report
all jury cases, that may be ready for trial.
This gentleman, by education and ex-
perience, is admirably fitted for the thor
ough discharge of his responsible position.
Hon. BENZ. H. Steele has employed the
same reporter in Caledonia county, and
the Hon. Asahel Peck had the advantage
of Mr.. Oviatt at the recent term of Wash
ington county, which closed its trials of
Jury cases on the 4th inst. The univer-
sal experience of the court and bar is,
that the employment of q reporter facili-
tates the trial of cases, and the saving of
time and expense to suitors has been
great, three cases being disposed of where
one was disposed of under the old and op-
pressive system.

SLATE PENCILS. - Twenty ears ago
all the slate pencils used were m anufac.
tured in Germany. She then supplied
America with this commodity. In 1850
there was a young man living in West
Rutland, VT, eighteen years of age, who
fortunately discovered supply of stone
for making first class article of slate
pencils. He began by whiting out the
pencils and selling them to school chill
dren. Being a better article than that
sale for all he could whittle out. He be-
came possessed of the idea that there was a
fortune in the business, and his dream has
been realized. This quarry of slate pen
Gil stone was situated in a large ravine,
four miles north of Castleton, Vt, near
Bomoseen Lake. The land on which it
was situated was for sale for one hundred
dollars. He purchased it, and began op.
erations by saving out the pencils and
whiting them round. The business of
making them grew Immediately on his
hands, SO that it was impossible to keep a
clean order book. Machinery was invent
ed to facilitate the process, which has
reached something like perfection, and
enormously increases the production of
pencils. At present the quarry and mills
are owned by a joint stock company.
They are valued at three hundred thou
sand dollars. From fifty to one hundred
thousand pencils are turned out daily,
and upwards of hundred hands are en-
ployed in the quarry and in the mill.
