THE NEW DRESS.
The type upon which this impression
was taken was cast at the celebrated
johnson Foundry, of Philadelphia,
whose styles and quality of type are I'M
surpassed by lay foundry in the Union.
The reading matter is set in what PRINT

xments in mtnion,- both of which, 1t Will
be seen, have IL clear, symmetrical face,
and together make contrast which,
we fancy, cannot fail to give pleasing
satisfaction to the eye. Our selection
of display type for advertisements, is
limited to n few plain varieties, and
with reference to one unvarylng, SIM
pie style, giving to each advertiser u
fair and equal chance with all other
patrons to secure public attention.
Our experience has taught us that pro-
miscuous display of advertisements,
beside being nuisance and heavy
expense in a printing office, is OF no
benefit whatever to the advertiser

ADDISON COuNTX

! Saturday week 1854 lbs of butter were ship
ped from Vergennes, and 1866 pounds were
shipped from New Haven.
| The hay crop in Bristol and vicinity proves
much better than anticipated. The corn
crop was never more promising.
The ladies of the Baptist Society of Vergennes
will give afternoon and evening festival in the
park next Tuesday.
s. r. Cain and Stephen Bartlett, of Bristol,
were recently thrown from buggy, both receiv-
iud some injuries, the latter quite severely.
"A horse was stolen from the premises of
Charles Tredo, in Panton, on the 9th ult., for
which the owner offers a reward.
Hon Jonas N. Smith of Addison protected
his appletrees from mice last winter by winding
them as high as the snow was likely to fall, with
felting paper. He uses charcoal dust from coal
pit bottoms to protect his trees from the borer.
The members of a number of families in Pan
ton and vicinity held quiet but very pleasant
picnic at shady and agreeable spot on the banks
of Otter Creek, Wednesday afternoon. They had
a good time generally, and their experience set
tied the point that picnic may be enjoyed up
the creek as well as down.
-Candor's statement in the Rutland HERALD
that Dea. Ira Allen planted corn in his garden on
the l4th OF June, and on the 18th of July he had
some OF the green corn boiled and of good size
upon his table to eat, is mistake. The planting
occurred in May.
The Ve7naOzter says: On Saturday last it was
certainly warm enough to inspire inaction and q
desire for quiet, but an impromptu dog caucus,
resulting in a fight among the dogs on Main
street-had its counterpart among the lockers on,
as soon as Argument had been exhausted. We
believe the dogs and the men engaged in the

SERENADE.-The Wales Cornet Band,
of North Bennington, fourteen pieces, l..
II. Wales, Leader, who furnished the mu-
sic for the picnic at Wallingford, were in
town yesterday. During the evening they
visited and serenaded, among others, Col.
Merrill, Gen. Ripley, J. r. Faulkner, As
sistant Superintendent of the Harlem Ex-
tension Railroad, and the HERALD office.
At the latter place the compliment was
Acknowledged by the editor in brief
speech; and also all fo~s- of the hotels.
The band presents a fine appearance, o--l
their music is pronounced by the best
judges TO be excellent. We learn that an
effort is being made to procure their SER
vices at the races tomorrow, and trust
that the effort may be successful. We
trust that this band may have frequent
occasion to discourse their sweet music to
our citizens in the future, and they may
be assured of cordial welcome. The
fine instruments used by this band were
presented to them by Hon. Trenor W.
Park.
Since the above was in print we learn
that arrangements have been perfected by
which the band will remain in town to-
day, and will furnish music at the races.
COMMENCEMENT CONCERT. - The
graduating class Of Middlebury College
have secured Gilmore's Band of Boston to
give concert at Middlebury, August IL.
Mr.. Arbuckle, the world renowned cor
netist, will accompany them. Mrs. W.
n. Oliver of Rutland will be present as
vocalist Prof Samuel G. Moore will Off
ciate as pianist. This will afford the peo-
pie of Middlebury and those in attend
ance upon commencement rich treat,
and the efforts of the young gentlemen
should be literally rewarded by the pat
ronage of the public. A concert is also
to be given at Fairhaven on Saturday
evening next, which will give the people
of that enterprising village rare oppor-
tunity of listening to music and singing
of the highest order. We trust they may
show their appreciation by giving them a

PERKINsvILLE. - The WeathersfeId
Orphans Friend Association held meet
ing here on the 2nd inst. Addresses were
made by Mrs. Roswell Haskell of Ascut-
neyville, and Rev. Mr.. Baldwin of
Weatbersield Center. Rev. Mr.. Mack
was present, who is actively engaged in
founding a home for the homeless in the
valley of the Connecticut. Nearly $500
have already been secured for that pur-
pose in Weathersfeld, most in one dollar
subscriptions. We are glad to learn that
Mr.. Mack has aroused considerable inter
est in this object in Reading, Cavendish
and Ludlow. The large numbers made
orphans and homeless by war aud orher-
wise, are entitled to the sympathies
and material aid of every benevol-
ent heart and hand 4 country home
for children and youth is far better than
a city home. It Is les expensive, more
beautiful, and affords less temptation to
vice and crime. The work Can be accom-
plisbed only by energy, perseverance, and
hard labor. Mr.. Mack appears to be the
man for the work.

they should be impeached for presumlng
to pass upon the abstract question OF the
coustitutionality of a law. This Is
question on which the opinion of the
Legislature and the Executive is entitled
to more weight than the opinion OF a
Judge. It seems to me that the views or
our people should be changed III this mat
ter. and that the courts should be restrict
ed to their own legitimate province,
Where are they made the umpires OF con-
stitutional questions l shall be glad to

now maturing to build road from East

THE RUTLAND HERALD
FRIDAY, AUGUST 8, 1870.
The Appropriation Bills.

There seems to be variety of opinions
and much confusion in reference to the
legal Interpretation of the appropriation
passed at the late session., in which cer-
tain sections were included that, it is
feared, will greatly embarrass the Gov
ernmeut The first and second comp
trollers of the Treasury, together with
the Secretary of the Treasury, have had a
prolonged consultation in reference to
the opinion of Attorney General Hoar,
defining their legal status. The Treas
ury officials have arrived at the conclu-
sion that no balances whatever of the past
years can be used, as they must be turned
over at once to the Treasury Department.
Also, that all moneys aceruing to
the department from tho salos of military
stores ordnance and materials must be
turned over to the Treasury and all the
balances to the credit of the arsenals and
cemeteries must be disposed of in the
same way. Several bureaus of the War
Department failed to make the necessary
estimates for the reason they depended
on these balances, and work on many ar
senals, Notifications and forts will be
suspended. 1t was fortunate circum-
stance that they had on hand a large sup
ply of clothing, or these necessary supplies
would be wanting for the soldiers. This
embarrassment applies also to other de-
partments of the Government, especially
in the Navy, Treasury and Interior, and to
the State and Department of Justice. This
complication and other matters lead to
the general opinion that the result of the
cabinet meeting on Friday may be call
for an extra session of Congress.

above this crevice and is still growing,
and bids to be large tree provided it can
stand the winds much longer, which ]
doubt, Notwithstanding it is founded
upon rock"
The island is very rocky with bold
and rugged shore, with only beach OF
some two rods wide, making fine land
ing and a good harbor, as it is sheltered
on two sides by high rocks. Mr.. Barnes
has cultivated spots all over his domain
where he could find soil, and has growing,
in abundance, all kinds of vegetables. In
connection with this / must mention that
my attention was attracted by the great
number of cats I saw, and l asked him
why he kept SO many his reply was, if
it was not for them could raise nothing,
as the mice would destroy all my vege-
tables; he has about fifty, he said, and
they do him great service. [ suggested
that perhaps they at times favored his
guests at night with free concert? he
said no, his cats were all mutes, quite an
Improvement on Vermont cats thought
1t being one o'clock we returned TO the
hotel for dinner, which was all that hun
ery mortals could ask, and doubt not
would have tempted the appetite of an
invalid The oysters, CLAIMS, Holsters aRd
fish, were taken alive from his beds and
vats after our arrival at the island, and
consequently was what Vermonters do
not often get, that is, sea food taken fresh
from their native element and prepared
for the table in less than two hours. AT
ter dinner we took another sail, going ont
farther where we got pretty strong test
of the salt water and quite a fresh wind,
which was enjoyed by all, notwithstand-
ing little fear was manifested by some
of the ladies at times. After sailing an
hour we returned to the island and spent
another hour in testing the different
amusements provided by our host. Afrel
beating the far-farmed doctor at his pet
game of croquet, we bade adieu to Mr..
Barnes, promising him if we lived we
would again visit him at his ocean home
Soon after, we were once more seated in
The Zephyr, and as the sails filled we
took long, fond look of Kid Island with
a feeling that the day spent upon it would
be one long to be remembered.
In closing, I must say that the pleas
ures we enjoyed aud the plan of the trip
were greatly due to our kind friends, Mr..
and Mrs. George W. Black, formerly of
Bellows Falls, but now pleasantly situated

SYCAMORE HOUSE, FRosT's POINT, n
H.-One of the most pleasant experiences
of the editorial gathering was the visit tc
Frost's Point, about three miles below
Portsmouth. We were prepared from
the enthusiastic praise of friends to find q
nice place, but were more than delighted
with the beauty of the situation, and the
neat, cosy and attractive Sycamore House
kept by the Brothers Pierce. Its situa'
tion is unsurpassed, on a broad, level
point at the mouth of the Piscataqua
possessing a magnificent ocean view, en-.
tirely free from sand, nearly surrounded
with water, with a quiet, safe beach in q
sheltered cove, plenty of grass and shade
while in front old ocean dashes upon q
rocky shore.
The house, of which one portion is en-,
tirely new, is spacious and airy, and with
a wonderful neatness of furnishing and
care, which betokens at glance its excel
lent condition. We have seldom seen a
greater combination of pleasant feat
ures than here, and the Sycamore ought
to become one of the most popular, as it
surely must be of the most enjoyable re-
sorts upon the coast.
