SENATE AND HOUSE JoURNALs.-Hon.
George Nichols, Secretary of State, has
our thanks for copies of the Senate and
House journals of last session. They were
printed, mot quite as well as commonly at
the Journal office, Montpelier, and bound
at the Freeman establishment. One val
liable feature of the House journal is the
manual of the personnel of the Legisla-
ture, prepared by the Assistant Clerks of
the House. A. careful examination of
this journal shows that Mr.. Henry n.
Newell of Shelburne, the Acting Clerk of
the House, Notwithstanding it's labors
were unexpectedly thrown upon him, and
the assistants appointed by the Clerk were
both inexperienced and inefficient, dis
charged his duties with remarkable COR
reotness and fidelity and entitled himself
to the credit and confidence of the House
and the State.-St. AlJa1as Messenger.

Miss Ida f. Woodbury.,
The free Press thus speaks Of the
lecture OF Rev. Jesse T. Peck, on Wednos-
day evening on the pending Revolution
in Politics"
The lecturer assumed that it is the du-
ty of every Christian man to carry his
religion into politics, aud thus endeavor
to reform the abuses that had crept into
our government. He claimed that re-
ligion too good to interest itself in the
welfare of the masses, is of too peculiar a
nature for practical life. 4. His remarks
were mainly directed to the practices of
New York politicians, and their opera
tions in connection with the school system
of the State, &c. In his opinion, the
pending Revolution" would result large
ly from blow at popular liberty made
by these attacks on the schools The pic
ture drawn of the manner in which things
were done by the New York legislature
was not at all oreditable to the honesty,
political or otherwise, of the law-makers
of that State. The speaker claimed that
this movement of the people of his State
in opposition to the designs of the polite
al demagogues, was far-reaching, that it
extended into every school district, and
would succeed in making the needed re-
form. His remarks in reference to the in
juries that often grow out of the caucus
system were highly pertinent. The lee
ture was well received.

JAMAICA-The freshet of last week did
considerable damage to our roads. The
washing away of. so many entertainments
last fall left them much exposed to this
spring freshet. The water was not so
high as last fall by several feet. No
bridges were lost. The streets in our viii
lage have become dry and pleasant again,
but the roads on either side Of us are near
ly impossible, rendered go, in some locali-
ties, by the abundance of snow still defy

"A sad accident occurred last thurs
day at the Paine's saw-mill, whereby a

His name was Charles L. Moulton. He

father above. At signal given by the
boy, the water was let on the wheel just
enough to set it in motion, and after a
few revolutions stopped. Hearing moth

rescued from his perilous position, and

It was found that no skin was ruptured
and no bones were broken bat the extent

EVENING.

There have been about twenty-five ad-
ditional funerals this evening. Hearses
could not be obtained for all of them, and
furniture wagons, appropriately draped,
had to be used. The general assembly at
tended the funeral of young Turner in a
body. The pages of the houses acted as
pail bearers, and the scene was very af-
fecting.
At the meeting held to-day it was re-
solved that the 4th Of May be observed as
a day of humiliation, prayer and religious
observance.
The streets tonight are az quiet as Sab
bath.
Active measures are on foot for the re-
lief OF destitute families.

PERsoNAL.-We regret to learn that
the injuries received by H. R. Hosford
Esq, of Pawlet, Grand Master of the
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of Vermont
prove more dangerous than at first sup
posed. DIR. Goldsmith was called in con-
sultation on Thursday. and we learn last
evening that his recovery is doubtful.
4 SPIRITED CHAsE.-An extraordi-
nary excitement was created in Center
street yesterday about 3 o'clock p. m,
caused by the hot pursuit OF g young
man, by Chief of Police, Crawford, and
Sheriff Sanderson. 1t appears the young
man, accompanied by an elderly man in
state of intoxication, were on the side
walk in Center street, when the young
man commenced running up the street,
the old man calling Justify that he had
been robbed. The officers commenced a
pursuit, Mr. Sanderson in wagon driv-
ing his horse at rapid rate, and Graw-
ford on foot, end the crowd crying stop
him" He lodged between Mr.. Whit
combs livery stable and Union block,
crossing gardens and scaling the fences,
reaching Washington street, and from
thence to the railroad yard, where he was
captured.
He was taken before Grand Juror Joel
@. Baker, and it was alleged that he had
stolen a Railroad ticket from Brandon
and a small sum of money from the old
gentleman. The old man said he had lost
the money and ticket, but refused to i'm
t plioate the boy, and was too much iutoxi-
Gated to give any lucid statement relative
to the matter Thn young mans version
of the affair was thai lac had been With
the old man more or less drinking ior vey-
eral DAYS, and that the ticket WAS given
him to keep until his friend wished teuse
it. No proof appearing that he took il by
| force or otherwise the young man was dis
charged The old gentleman was sent to
jail for intoxication. and this morning
will be required to disclose where be pur-
chased Gquor-and probably be fined for
drunkenness, as he ought to be for his
conduct in deceiving the officers and dis-
turbing the public peace. The Grand
Juror on the disclosure as to who sold this
old man liquor, should at once proceed
against the party or parties whoever they
may be, and punish them TO the full ex-
tent of the law A man who will sell
such person liquor deserves the conhne-
ment in Jail rather than his victim.
