NORTHAMPTON, Aug l, 1870.
Editor Rutland Herald By your kind
indulgence L would like to say a few
words though the columns of the Daily

at Middletown Springs, the watering
place which is to become famous in the
annals of Vermont history.
This public house is kept by Mr.. ]. H.
Fe uton, gentleman in the prime of life.

little experience in excepting hotel" he

every boarder is needed, if not anticipst.
ed, and with promptness and alaerity
which cannot fail to please.
The same spirit seems to pervade all
connected with the establishment. and
makes it one of the most delightful places
in the State to spend either II few days or
few weeks, and although the accom-
modatlous as to room are limited, as in
most country hotels, yet the tact. per.e-
verance, and obliging disposition of land

the house attrac tive, and W ere it laroar -

Our Wisconsin Letter.

RIVER FALLS, Wis, July 20, 1870.
Editor Rlttaa6 Herald The summer
here thus far seems to be much warmer
than usual. There has been an immense
amount of thunder and lightning, and
some of themeldest settlers, those who
have been heFe fifteen or sixteen years,
say that only a single season can compare
with this in that respect. The thunder.
\ too, is absolutely terrific, and the clouds
lie very near to the earth and often strike
buildings. Vermont storms are failures
compared with these.
The harvesting of wheat is well begun,
and there il u prospect that it will be Sc
cured in good condition Very much of
last years crop was injured by the long
continued rain while it was in the shock,
which caused it to 4prout. Harvest hands
command very good wages, quite as much
a. hey would in place where hayiDg
was the great work of the year. Their
Only work is binding after the reaping
machine.
The WAR in Europe is lamented by the
clergy and philanthropic, but it would be
false to say that Of the farmers and bust
ness men of all kinds. The price of wheat
went up favorably on the receipt of the
news of the declaration of war, and made
business quite lively for short time. 1t
has since gone down, but must certainly
go much higher under the combined eff
fects of war and poor harvest in France.
A treaty of peace would be severe blow

With all their close economy, people

called Small" in money matters, hut
might teach their eastern cousins much
in that respect. Neither are they callous
to certain class of benevolent appeals.
Although minister may not live very
sumptuously, person who meets with a
providential loss is helped with the great
est liberality. An aged man recently lost
his barn, hay and most of his stock by
lightning. A subscription was started for
him the next morning and literally sub

Scientific knowledge is not so generally
diffused that all can DO made to believe
in lightning conductors. u.s.B.

I regret to state that old prejudices still
swayed the minds of both parties. Itwas
Democrat and Tory with the same bitter
animosity to make mischief and sharpen
the tongue. After preliminary salutations,
Joel Hamilton, who never forgave an
enemy or forsook a friend, abruptly in
CURED of Elder Dodge, eff you are the
good man you profess to be, why does
everybody say you are bad man 2"
JOEL" replied the preacher, I" If you
wished to find the best apples in an orchard
would you not repair to the tree in which
were lodged the greatest number of
clubs 2"
ct recollect," was the shrewd reply,
" that, thinking so on one occasion,
l found my mistake; the boys had only
been clubbing an old hornets nest"
Immediately a merciless fire of charges
and witticisms fell on the head of the old
neighbors until he hardened himself, and
refused to seem to be listening to his per-
secutor. "Ah !" said Hamilton, dodge
does not like to hear anything said
against himself. ~ Think" replied the
victim, I" I don't hear much else" To di-
vert these wordy attacks, the Elder ad-
dressed Gilbert, saying, "Your Mr.. Cush-
man the Congregationahst minister J is
quite an acceptable preacher, and did
not have it from Congregationalst, but
from good, honest Baptist over in Hamp-
ton"
Indeed !" said g., "Well you
must in that case make great allowance,
for you know the Baptists are willing to
accept anything for their preacher. ="
The moral of this story (for I suppose
every story has its moral, undeniably is
this: Society makes great progress the

CARE OF HORSES LEGs.-Few men
who handle horses give proper attention
to the feet and legs. Especially is this
the case on the farms. Much time is spent
of morning rubbing, brushing and smooth
ing the hair on the sides and hips, but at
no time are the feet examined and proper
ly cared for. Now, be it known that in
this six thousand year old world of ours,
the feet of horse need more care than the
body. They need ten times as mnch-for
in one respect they are almost the entire
horse. All the grooming that can be done
won't avail anything, ifthe horse is for0-
ed to stand where his feet will be filthy.
In this case the feet will become disorder
ed, and the legs will get badly out of fix,
and with bad feet and bad legs there is
not else of the horse fit for anything.
Stable prisons generally, are terribly
severe on the feet and legs of horses. and
unless these buildings can afford dry
room, where horse can walk around, lie
down or roll over, they are not half so
healthy and comfortable to the horse as
the pasture, and should be avoided by all
good hostIers in the county.-Rur@

Mention has heretofore been made
of William Kent's house, ETC., but now
that the work has been completed, we will
recapitulate. He has painted his house
beautiful cream color,ithe cornices, etc.,
with Brandon Brown" the blinds green,
the whole presenting by far the prettiest
appearance of any dwelling in the village,
the work having been done by that
"knight of the BRUSH" 81. J. Earl, Esq.
For the past few weeks an unusual
amount of sickness has prevailed, and
even now prevails in this section and Mt.
Holly, with several fatal cases, principally
fevers and bowel complaints.
Farmers are finishing up their hay
ing. The crop, we believe to have been
very good-the severe drouth having
affected the crops generally-much less
than was at one time apprehended might
be the case.
The contract to rebuild that portion
of the highway in this village, lying in
Mt. Holly, with part in Wallingford,
which was SO fearfully washed away by
the freshet of go, is now rapidly ap-
preaching completion, and will probably
be finished this week.
AT the close of the summer term OF
the district school in this village on Fri
day last, taught by Miss Hannah M.
Harrington, she gave to her scholars and
friends picnic. 1t was held in Chill.
sons grove, and was very pleasant af.
fair, rejecting much credit upon its pro.
prietor and afforded very pleasant oc.
casion for all who participated in the
ceremonies, which order of exercises con.
sisted of remarks, opening prayer by R.
r. T. Sanger, followed by declarations,
singing, remarks by Rev. Mr.. Sawyer and
Mr.. A. Goodell. Not least of which was
table well loaded with cakes, oonfec-
tionery and fruit, which was partaken OF
by all with a most keen relish. Alto
gether it was very plaasurable time for
both teachers and scholars.

THE RUTLAND HERALD.
MONDAY, AUGUST s. 1870.
The PresIdenr's opinion on the APP
propriatiOn Biils---indiah Az
fairs and Neutrality.

The cabinet meeting in reference 10 inc
appropriation bills and other matters re-
ferred TO last week, took place on FRIDAY.
All the cabinet were present except oec-
retaries Fish and Boutwell,. Mr. FISH
was represented by Mr.. Davis and Mr..
Boutwell, by Mr.. Richardson. The re-
suits and effects of the various appropria-
ton bills as defined in the recent opin-
ions of the Attorney General, were dis
cussed, and it was concluded to let the
laws work themselves for time at least.
The President thought that although 1t
was the cause of serious embarrassment
to some of the executive departments, yet
he had concluded not to convene Congress
on account of it, unless further and more
complicated troubles should be the conse-
quenco of the workings of the laws.
1t is reportad that he said in regard to
the European war :-"For foreign COM
OBLIGATION do not fear one. L do not
see how I can be compelled to convene
"Congress on this score, although some
unforeseen accident may happen, max
ing il necessity. I am not satisfied
"that Secretary Robson can get along
"and carry out his progressive ideas in
"relation to the navy and also arrange
" his bank accounts. The Indian matters
" are also in proper progress. The goods
"snd money are being handed over to
"them and peace with them is assured. 1
"regret that Secretary Belknap cannot
" continue the work on the Notifications
&c and cemeteries, and that SO many just
"claims must be temporarily refused pay
"ment but it will be only for few
months and is not of sufficient import
"ance for me to convene Congress" After
the adjournment of the Cabinet the Presi-
dent attended to some of the routine mat
ters connected with the Departments, and
made several minor appointments.
The President declared his intention to
other matters to attend to the Indian in
terests, expecting to meet several OF the
Indian commissioners in st. Louis on
their way to their several posts. The
President evidently takes great interest
in Indian affairs, and seems anxious that
the various tribes shall speedily receive
the allowances made to them by Congress-,
and expresses satisfaction with Commits
sioner Parkers actively in the matter.
The official notification of the war be-
tween France and Prussia has been re-
ceived by the Secretary of State and laid
before the President He has determined
to issue proclamation of neutrality at an
early date 1t is understood the procla-
nation will define our neutrality laws,
so they will be fully understood by the
people of the United States. Among
other things the relations of the sellers of
contraband goods will be fully explained,
that all kinds of goods can be sold to
both parties, but they must take the risk
of shipment and delivery.

SUMNER RESORTS Many people are
summering very pleasantly in the towns
of Walpole, Alstead and Ackworth, N.
H, where the mountain air and good far
mer's fare restores and invigorates the
body after the confnements of city life
with astonishing rapidity. Wsrren's
pond in Alstead is extensively patronized
by fishing and picnic parties, and trout
streams abound in every direction.
Mount Watatic, in Ashburnham,
Mass, is one of the most attractive noun
tain resorts to be found in the State 1t
rises to an elevation of 1900 feet, and its
summit commands a view at once grand
and picturesque. Looking north, Monad-
mock stands out in bold relief to the west
long ranges of the Green Mountains
meet the eye; on the south Wachusett is
clearly visible, while to the east Temple
Hills form a charming picture. Many
towns and villages can also be seen from
Watatic.

ert Speer, who set out from Newburg, n.

Vt, conveying his crippled wife in a
wheelbarrow, and accompanied by two
small children, got as far as Concord the
other day. From the route he must have
taken to reach this point we shauld Judge
he rather enjoyed his novel mode of hav-
cling. At Concord, however, benevo-
lent railroad superintendent furnished the
whole family with passes to White River

If nothing apart from Righteousness
can exalt nation, how can this right
eousness be secured?
1. By education, some say. They tell
us that men need not the "hospital" but
the sschool" But, if this be SO, how is it
that the Greek nation at the height of its
culture could only produce a Socrates, in
whose writings many things need expurg-
ating to fit them for text books?
Burke's saying-"Man is a religious an
imal" is true; but human history, person.
al experience and Gods word all teach
that the religious sentiment common to
all men has been corrupted. Man needs
first the "Great Physician" Of his soul.
2. Moral reform societies will not do
it. Many of these societies are dead !;
their wrecks, like the bones of camels in
the deserts, mark their course. They
sneered at the gospel, but they have per-
ished while Christ's churches still remain
They work on the surface, and leave all
the roots untouched. 1t is like hoeing
over the weeds in ones garden; all looks
finely for little time, but a rain and few
warm days they all spring up again as
vigorous as ever.
2. The gospel of Christ will secure the
righteousness required LII meets men
| face to face with the truth that they are
| sinners 1t takes stained sinners and
cleanses them, condemned ones and JUS
titles the guilty and pardons. 1t does its
work, however, by taking one person at a
time Now, unless we carry this mighty
gospel everywhere in the land, Rome's
plans, German rationalism, Legislative
corruption, Intemperance, ETC., cannot be
stayed and, sooner or later, as nation
we are ruined. In the peroration he al
luded to the greatness of the work in
| which the candidate was to be engaged.
The sermon occupied one hour and 20
minutes in it's delivery, and the preacher
had no manuscript before him. The au-
dience filing the house was held to the
last sentence. Rev. w. N. Wilbur, of
Saxton's River, gave the charge, and
Rev. G. Hibbard, of Chester, the right
hand of fellowship to the candidate.
Both were appropriate in sentiment, feel
ing and brevity. Mr.. Pierce was mem
