Judge Allen and Sheriff Trip visit
ed the Jail at Montpelier last week, for
the purpose of inspecting the improve
ments now going on in that institution,
with view to find the best method of re-
pairing our Jail which, it is found, needs
thorough overhauling. They have finally
decided to encase the walls with heavy
boiler iron, riveted together in the most
substantial manner. The expense will
come well on toward $4,000.
We clip the following COMPLIMENTS
ry notice from Washington exchange :
ID. NJ. Slade, Esq, was yesterday admit
ted to practice in the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia. Mr.. Sade is
well and favorably known in this comml-
nifty, where he has held responsible posi-
tons under the General Government.
His abilities cannot fail to make him take
rank among the most distinguished men,
bers Of the Washington bar.
The election in Middlebury was
thinly attended, there being but forty
eight votes cast. Of these, forty-two
were cast for Hon. James NJ. Slade. Mr..
SHADES present position on the amend
ments to be acted upon, so far as we un-
derstand it, is opposition to all of them
except the one abolishing the Council of
Censors. The ground of his opposition to
the woman suffrage amendment is that
the public sentiment is strongly against it.
he is quite emphatically opposed to the
proposition to change the method of elect
ing judges of the supreme court.
We have great pleasure in calling
attention 20 the advertisement of VIM.
Slade. He has in his store Il beautiful
assortment of elegant millinery. There is
continual increase in the business done
at his establishment. Ladies love to 90
there, and you will generally find the
store full of people. SO well is Mr.. SIS
taste understood, and so implicitly is it
trusted that orders come from all parts of
the county. We are almost tempted to
enter upon an extended description of
their beautiful spring goods, but the po-
lite and efficient ladies in their establish
ment can do this much better than we
can Call and see. II
We are again admonished of the
frail tenure we hold upon life by the de-
parture from this world of one of our ac.
tive young men. James f. Collins, for
several years clerk in the store of Beck
with a. Co., died on Saturday morning,
the 18th inst, at the age of 10 years.
lie retained his consciousness until within
twelve hours of his death, with lucid in
tervals afterwards. His youthful visor
and courage kert him up, in his unequal
contest with disease, so that he only re-
linquished his labor about the lst day of
April last, after which he rapidly de-
clined. James was young man of
promise, and his decease is sincerely re-.
GREETED by all who knew him, and by none
more so than by his late employers, whose
love and confidence he had so completely
won. To the bereaved family we tender
oursympathies. -
