The COURT HOUSE BELL.-We hear,
from different sources, complaints in ref
erence to- the size aud weight of the bell
in the new County Court House There
seems to he no doubt but that the bell is
too small, aud that it is impossible to pro-
duce the requisite amount If sound there

bly, is no doubt but that the founders will
exchange it for another Of greater weight
without any charge except for the extra
weight If metal, if 80, it seems to US, and
we have no doubt from what we bear
said on the streets that the citizens and
tax payers of the county are of the same
opinion, that the bell Should at once be
returned and one of suitable size be OBJ
taiued, so that not only the striking of
the clock can be heard throughout all
parts of the village, but that during the
sessions of court, suitors, attorneys, wit
nesses, jurors and others, can hear the
summons TO the court room.

The idea of this work is best given in
the authors preface. Ae says " The
witness which 1 bear to the excellence of
churches other than my own, has a value
in the fact, that, while they are not my
own, they yet compel an admiration which
am able but in part to express. Z All
who profess to call themselves Christian,
have surely more points of agreement
than of disagreement Every church that
has maintained separate denominational
existance, by the real act of living proves
that there is something in her that man
tains her life. Every church can teach
every other church something, and every
church can learn

Edited by Russell Fl. Conwell. Boston
Lee &sShepard.
This volume, of over 300 pages, is, what
its title does not very clearly indicate,
story of the expressions of labor, and es-
pecially of women. Miss Collins is one
of the most active women in the agitation
for additional rights, and for the advance
ment and elevation of the working peo-
pie she is earnest, and sketches her char
acters and incidents strongly and with
vigor this volume is one with many good
points, though marred by some needless
and almost vicious criticisms of capital
lists and employers, but largely drawn
from her own experience, and sure TO at
tract attention at the present time, when
these topics are go prominently before

Many bills of private nature were
thus disposed of, but all bills in relation
to taxation and equsliziDg the grand list
were rejected, also the tills in relation to
the State prison and jails, and the general
railroad law. Thus the more weighty
matters were sll rejected, and the State
will be compelled to drag along two years
more without these needed reforms, unless
the Governor should see fit to call an ex-
ira session. which il not improbable.

RAILROAD ACCIDFNT.-As the freight
train passed the HydeVille station on
Wednesday evening, three boys, or young
men, mounted the train for the purpose
of riding to Castleton or Rutland, and ex-
pecting to return on the engine. Daniel
B. Hatch, one of the three, was not to be
found on the train when it reached CAS-
tleton. and his companions atarted back
on the track in search of him, and when
about ten or twelve rods east of the dry
bridge, South of Castleton Corners) they
discovered parts of his body, and for eight
rods on the track other parts of the body
severed from the body and much mutilat-
ed, the legs and arms were also entirely
severed and broken, and cut up in the
most shocking manner.
The suppositiou is that in attempting
to pass over the cars to the engine where
his comp ,nions were he came in collision
with the bridge and was Instantly killed
and fell between the cars, The pieces

The Senate was composed of good and

1861 and 1862. Many of the Senators
had Just served in the lower House, and
have left in both Houses a record for
scarcely particle of which they will
ever have occasion to blush or regret.

WASHINGTON, July ..
sENATE.-Stewart offered a resolution
requesting the President to cause the
Act of February 10, 1862, to prohibit
the coolie trade, to be strictly enforced:
and for that purpose to instruct the
proper civil officers Of the United States
to prosecute for all violations Of sad
Act, and directing an investigation as to
whether Chinese coolies are being trans
ported 10 the United States in violation
Of the law.
-Trnmbull and Hamlin objected to the
resolution, as an imputation upon the
President. that he did not perform his
duty. Resolution laid on the table. but
subsequently adopted as modified, to
provide for a simple inquiry into the
alleged Chinese importation in violation
Of law.

COUNTY HOSPITAL MARAsEMEkT.

On LIST page see report OF the Grand
Jury on County affairs. These good
men and true make a most despieable
showing up Of the late county physi-
clan. In a recent issue of The News
re in part prepared the public mind fol
something Of this sort; but did not our
self, at that time, conceive that that
Encouragement had got to SO low a
depth as represented in this report.
Nothing since the times Of the prison
pens of the rebellion has afforded q par
allel for the showing here made. DIR.
Willard sent us a note on our hint, re-
monstrating against the nature Of the
structures passed. In view of the on
coming of the Grand Jury, we RETAINED
from further comment, preferring that
the exposure come in official form.
The county has stood q li~beral-rather
n layish-outlay. on behalf of the indi-
gent sick. At the expense borne, those
u~nfortnnates ought to have been most
bonntifully tended and provided for,
and that they have not is a burning dis
grace to all of US, and the wonder IS
that SO foul a wrong could have contin-
ued SO long. Often these outrages have
been detailed to US pieeemeali and we
have on two or three occasions, within
the limit of the law OF libel, limited at
the matters of complaint-at the same
time, however, presuming that many of
the grievances related were exaggerated
in the relation. The report to-day pub
lished leaves no room to doubt that the
worst accounts fell far short Of the
dunning facts.
The County Commissioners ought to
haYs acted more promptly in the prem
ises. Last Winter some Of these out
rageous practices of the hospital were
brought to their attention - this same
charge for water which was gratnitously
supplied, we remember was noticed then;
and, if we remember. the matter of re-
ceiYing pay from persons properly a
county charge was also brought up. Now
that the contract of DIR. Willard has run
ont, and a physician Is temporarily in
charge, we hope a thorough purging of
the establishment will be accomplished.
The interest OF the taxpayers will be
best served by the Commissioners calling
for bids for this service. Bids might be
called for in this wise: Number l, for
supply Of required medical attendance,
with medicine. nursing. washing. food,
and general care-for a term of months,
at Sc much the month; Number ., for
medical attendance, and general superin-
tendence. In this way, competent aud
honest service could be secured, at lowest
figures. The better way, would be to
get the whole service under contract TO
one person. 1t would be cheapest; and
then let the Commissioners through a
standing committee of their number, pre-
serve a strict surveillance over the es-
adjustment.
