ROBBERY AT MIDDLEBURY.-On Sun
day afternoon, the house of Nahum
Parker, Esq, Of Middlebury, was entered
by burglars, during the absence of the
family at church, the enteranoe being eff.
feeted through window. The burglars
found in bureau drawer, and took with
them two hundred dollars in money, and
five bonds issued by the United States,
one of the denomination of thousand
dollars, two of five hundred each, and
two of one hundred each, amounting in
all to twenty-five hundred dollars, which,
with the money taken, makes the sum OF
twenty-four hundred dollars as the amount
of plumber secured by them.
1t is probable that the burglars are
known, as short time before the entrance
into the house of Mr.. Parker was effected,
a man and woman passed the house of
Mr.. Valentine Clay and enquired if Mr..
Parker lived on that street. These par
ties have been already traced as far as
Brandon, and the officers of the law are
on their track. . .
The man is described as being short
and thick set, with black moustaehe,
and probably % years old, and was, at
the time, dressed in dark clothes. The
other party is female apparently about
30 years old, with 6. dark and red plaid
dress, over which she had water proof,
and wearing on her head white nubia.
Before the burglary at the house of Mr.
Parker, it is supposed that the same par
ties paid visit to the house of French
man residing in that neighborhood. and
"went through" the pantry.

AN APPEAL. TO THE ALUMNI OF CASTLE

Editor RaalaRd Herald The last sad
duties of grateful pupils to a faithful
teacher have been performed in removing
the remains of the late Rev. Edward J
Hallock from st. Louis and depositing
them in the beautiful cemetery in Castle
ton, by the side of the wife of his early
life.
The remains were placed in their final
resting place on Saturday, Feb. 18th, at
2 2 D. NJ, and were followed by many
of his old pupils and friends. Mr. Will
liams and the pupils joined in the process.
sion, in escorting the remains to their last
home. Rev Lewis Francis made some
very appropriate remarks at the grave.
Truly as he said "dust to dust, ashes to
ashes, earth to EARTH" in this case, and as
his mortal remains lie now in that chill
side" cemetery overlooking the seminary
where he spent SO much of his life for the
good of others; and as we have performed
our duty to his mortal remains, let us
now see how much we can do to perpetu.

us, and erect tablet DER his grave that

teacher. Let the Alumni of that school
ask old pupils to help us to purchase

have to departed teacher. Send us

children may say, my father or mother

the address of Henry Clark, before the
Alumni last summer, there has been a
growing interest in this matter, and par

for money, yet do hope many OF them
will remit something to Mr.. Z. W. Arm

this object. Very truly,

RAILROAD CoNsoIIDATIoN.-Ano
| important step has been taken toward
consolidating the various transportation
interests between Boston and the north
| west. 1t is announced by authority that
the Northern transportation Company
has passed into the hands of parties re-
presenting the Vermont Central line,
which includes the several companies
forming the through route from Boston
by way of Lowell, Nashua, Concord,
st. Adams to Ogdensburg and Mon
tresl, and is to be distinguished from
the Vermont Central Railroad. The
manner of the transfer is understood
to be the purchase of the interest of Philo
Chamberlin, president of the Northern
Transportation Company, and the owner
of controlling portion of the stock. Gov
ernor ]. Gregory Smith of Vermont, presi.
dent of the Vermont Central Company, is
of course the man whose courage and fore
sight have brought about the important
combination, and his genius will preside
over its operations in the future. We in
timated few days ago that the lease of
the Rutland Railroad was but part of
great movement aiming to consolidate all
the lines between Boston and the Pacific
coast. The ABSORPTION of the Northern
Transportation Company supplies the
missing link 30 far as the chain has been
completed, and gives the st. Albans people
control of an unbroken line from Boston
to the eastern terminus of the Northern
Pacific Railroad. u.
The character ard extent of the
Northern Transportation Company
are well known to shippers and
merchants in this section, if NOT
to the general public. Although the field
of its operations is some distance from
Boston, it is an important factor in the
problem of communication between Bos-
ton and the Great West. The nominal
capital OF the company is between eight
and nine hundred Thousand dollars, and
its fixed property and real estate are
valued at over one million dollars. The
company controls about twenty frst-clsss
lake steamers and does large business in
both freight and passengers between Og-
densburgh and Chicago and other Lake
Michigan ports. A weekly line Is TO be
established to Duluth, and these fscili-
ties will of course be enlarged whsn the
opening of the Northern Pacific Railroad
renders Duluth one of the most impor-
rant ports on Lake Superior. A large
quantity of the stock of the company lie
owned in Boston, and the holders will be
keenly interested in the pending change.
To the city at large the problem is one
which comprises the subject of quick and
cheap transportation and the advantages
which it secures to her in competion with
her sesbosrd rivsls.-Bosto'a Advertiser.

SIR: have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your note Of the 1st instant,
in which you inform me that You are au-
thorized by Earl Granville to state that
it would give Her Msjesty's Government
great satisfaction if the claims commonly
known by the name of the alabama
claims" were submitted TO the consider
alton of the High Commission by which
Her Maiesty's Government have proposed
that the questions relating to the British
possessions in North America should be
discussed, provided that all other claims,
both Of British subjects and citizens of the
United States, arising out Of acts commit.
ted during the recent civil war in this
country are similarly referred to the
same commission.
have laid your note before the Presi-
dent, and he has directed me to express
the satisfaction with which he has re-
ceived the intelligence that Earl Gran
vile has authorized you to state that Her
Majesty's government has accepted the
views of this government as to the dis
position to be made of the so-called "Ala-
bama CLAIMS"
He also directs me to say with refer
ence to the remainder of your note, that
if there be other and further claims of
British subjects, or of American citizens,
growing out of acts committed during the
recent civil war in this country, he assents
to the propriety of their reference to the
same High Commissioners; but be sug-
gests that the High Commissioners shall
consider only such claims of this descrip-

Highly Important Correspondence.
THE DIFFICULTIES BETWEEN THE TWO
COUNTRIES TO BE ADJUSTED.

The President few days since sent t.
to the Senate message enclosing the fol
lowing correspondence, which is OF inter.
est to every American citizen, as it means
| the consideration of the Alabama elaine
aud opens the way for the restoration
of friendly relations between the United
States and England. @
SIR EDWARD THORNTON 10 MR.. FISH.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26, 1871.
SIR: In compliance with an instruction
which l have received from Earl Gran
vile, have the honor to state that Her
MaJestys government deem it of import
ance to the good relations which they are
ever anxious should subsist and he
strengthened between the United States
and Great Britain, that friendly and
complete understanding should be come
to between the two governments, as to the
extent of the rights which belong to the
citizens of the United States and Her
Msjesty's subjects, respectively, with ref
erence to the fisheries on the coasts of Her
Majesty's possessions in North America,
and as to any other questions between
them which affect the relations of the
United States towards these possessions.
As the consideration of these matters
would, however, involve investigations of
a somewhat complicated nature, and as il
is very desirable that they shonld be thor
ougbly examined, 1 am directed by Lord
Granville to propose to the government of
the United States the appointment of a
joint High Commission which shall be
composed of members to be named by each
government, shall hold its SESSIONS at
Washington, and shall treat of and dis
cuss the mode of settling the different
questions which have arisen out of the
fisheries, as well as those which affect the
relations of the United States towards
Her Msjesty's possessions in North Amer
lea.
I am confident that this proposal will
be met by your government in the same
cordial spirit of friendship which has in
duced Her Majesty's government to ten
der it, and I cannot doubt that in that
case the result will not fail to contribute
to the maintenance of the good relations
between the two countries, which | am
convinced the government of the United
States, as we'll as that of her Majesty,
equally have at heart.
have the honor to be, with the high
est consideration, sir, your most obedient,
humble servant

the two countries should also and at the

you viii enable me to convey to my gov
eminent the assent of the President to the
addition which they thus propose to the
duties of the High Commission, and which
cannot fail to make it more certain that
its lahore will lead to the removal of all
differences between the two countries.
