Rev. Y. ii. Archibald of Bristol, occu-
pied the desk of the Baptist church in
this city, yesterday, and preached one of
the ablest discourses it has been my
pleasure to listen to in long time. Dr..
Archibald is among the ablest preachers
of that denomination in the state, and in
my opinion, richly merits the position he
holds among them. In the event of
change in the Probate Judgeship of this
district, hear mentioned with most IA
vor, as candidate for the position, the
name OF j. Warren Barnes of Ferris
burgh. Mr.. b. is gentleman in the
prime of life, has for the past two years
ably represented his town in the Legisla-
ton, and is the delegate elect to the ap-
preaching Constitutional Convention, and
should the mantle of the veteran Judge
Munsill be transferred to his shoulders,
| doubt not it would be gracefully borne
by him, and his administration of the
office rebound to the benefit, and fully
meet the expectations of the people of this
district. Should change be made, no
more competent successor TO the present
incumbent can be found.-The Steamer
"Curlew ," is now making daily trips be-
tween Vergennes and Port Henry, and
should any of your readers desire cheap
and delightful excursion let me recon-
mend them to embark on the "Crrlcw {"
at this place, and after beautiful ride
OF eight miles, stop at the Fort Cassin
House, where mine host Scott will minis
ter to their wants in that inimitable man.
ner which makes him so popular as a no.
tel-keeper. The weather since Saturday
has been delightful, and the several hun.
dred teams in town on that day gave
abundant evidence that the interest in
our market day has in nowse abated.
