ANOTHER DISTURBANCE AT CAyEN-
DIsH.-We learn that since the result at
Woodstock in the notorious Bent case, has
been published, and on the eve of the
goth ult., while party of dancers were
civilly enjoying themselves at Walkers
Hall, in Cavendish, James Fitton, fol-
lowed by "A employees at Spring Mills,
between the hours of IL and IL o'clock,
entered the hall and drove everybody ont
but the musicians. All the intruders,
especially the leader, were more or less
under the influence and guidance of in
toxicating liquors Several of the ladies
were seriously injured in the melee,
and the men were even more severely
handled. The next day the proprietor of
the mill raised the Stars and Stripes over
his factory building, as is supposed in
exultation of the success of the rioters.
At our latest report the flag was taken
down, the influence of whiskey less pre-
dominant, and James Fitton and IA others
were, on complaint of the town grand
jurors, Friend Chapman and Ira Morse,
under arrest by Constable Jos. Adams,
and are to be tried by VIM. Smith, Esq,
at Howe's Hotel in Proctorsville, at 10
o'clock a. m. on Monday the Sd inst. 1t
is but few days since the Pest office in
Cavendish was broken open. Last sum-
mer the Bent affair occurred, and rumors
of other lawless acts and doings there
have been but too current. Is there need
of a police regulation in that heretofore
peaceble and quiet township; or will the
Shrewsbury scenes yet be re-enacted
there? We hope, for the credit of our
State, no new history of conflicts will
need to be recorded.
Our informant says that much excite
ment prevails in the vicinity at the oc-
currence, especially from the character
and previous standing of some of the
parties ;nafolioutcd. $780,

THE RUTLAND HERALD
The Now Yeaf.

Fleetly hath passed the year. The sea-
sons have come and gone in their order
the gentle spring-the delicious summer
the hoary winter, and so are chronlcied
in times calendar. The mellow fruitage
of the bending tree have been gathered
and we have rejoiced over the fullness
of the gathered sheaf. "God hath been
very good" To Him whose hands mould
ed the hills and followed out the valleys
who hath led us in pleasant paths and
tempered the winds to the shorn lamb,
let us lift the cup of the New Years feast
and render praises for the well completed
year. ... .......... ....
The steady, yet rapid march of time,
brings US to the commencement OF an
other year. Thoughts of sadness or OF
joy fit through the mind on this ami
versary, as it finds us in our several
spheres of duty and relations in life.
Some hearts have been made happy by
the events of the years, others have been
mingled in the cup of life sad and mourn
full experiences, that make the hours of
the opening year unlike those that are
treasured up in the store house of fond
memories.
As the years pass, one after another, so
the flights of life are blown out" as the
music of life reaches each stage, and takes
tip new strain. If our years "never
failed" we might welcome the new with
out single regret Every year adds
something to the lines and figures and
beauty of the picture of life, if painted
with the colors of honor, virtue, truth and
love. His years fail not who fills them
with such deeds as belong to the heir OF
immortality.
The New Year is fitting period to
take retrospective glance, each one
should examine his own personal history
and see wherein he has erred or faltered
in duty, that preparation may be made
to,surmonnt the obstacles which may beset
US in our life journey. All are looking
forward to the year ON which we have
entered with mingled emotions of hope or
Joy. The words of welcome to the coming
year fall from the lips of the aged and the
young, the prince and the beggar in his
rags 1t is greeted with mirth and well
coined with song, and the mourner in his
anguish passes it not by.

DANBY.-The Rev. Mr.. Clemmens, at
present of Bolton, n. Y, delivered the
second lecture before the Good Templars
of Dandy and the united public on the
evening of December "a, in their hall over
Pierce's store, which was filled to its ut
most capacity. After music by the lodge
choir, Mrs. Katie Pierce, organist, and
prayer by the Rev. Z. G. Picket, Mr..
Clemmens was introduced by the latter
and spoke for some time very ably, giving
first brief history of the temperance
movement, with which he wgs familiar
from its origin. He expressed hope,
both moral and religious, for Dandy when
he saw the regalia of this order, and re-
garded the temperance movement as the
voice of one crying in the wilderness,
which will be followed by a religious
movement. He then censured the rum
seller. who must be an individual capable
of the most disgracerul work He said
that those who dared to interfere with
liquor dealers were often injured private
ly; he had suffered in this way, having
had his horse clipped, while some had or,
chards destroyed. His lecture awakened
an interest in the good cause moro than
usual here, and the Good Templars have
large additions in view. Mr.. Clemmens
has been preaching in Dandy at the revi-
val meetings, and has helped along the
good work so that there are several who
have professed their faith in a Saviour,
and others are taking an interest in the
good cause. a
