TROUT.-Mr Perkins of Chittenden,
brought to our office yesterday, some
dozen young trout from 10 to 10 days of
age, taken from the fish pond of Hon.
Martin G. Everts. Among them was one
trout having three heads, and two having
two heads. These trout were a curiosity,
to each one was attached a sack which
sustains life until its vitality is exhausted,
then they begin to eat and gain sus-
tenance from other sources. The double
headers are ordinarily short lived. but all
these diminutive specimens Of the finny
tribe were sprightly and seemed to en-
10y themselves.

Help for France.

Editor Rutland Herald Cannot some
thing be done here in Rutland and Rut-
land county, in aid of France, now that
she is PROSTATE at the foot of a victorious
foe and starving for breadf Let it not be
ours to reproach her for her great mis-
takes. Her rulers made them. Her peo-
pie were deluded. But she is now poor,
impoverished and needs food for her des-
titute, suffering millions France once
sympathized with our country, and gave
US the great and good Lafayette, in the
time of our extreme need. Now let us
send her food, until she can raise food for
herself.
Let wisest heads, if this suggestion
meets with favor from our people, select
the ways and means, but let US not delay
in the good, the needed work
CIV.
Rutland, Jan. 81, 1871.
The above is the article alluded to in
our editorial of Wednesday, on "Aid for
the Suffering French" We most fully
endorse the suggestions of our correspond
ent, and hope measures will be inaugur-
ated for holding public meeting for rails
ing an amount by substitution or in some
other way set in motion the machinery
that will result in gathering something
to relieve the serious destitntion of those
who have succumbed t. the terrible raw
ages Of war, and now have no bread to
eat Let their condition come home to
each individual of our community. for we
feel confident all will contribute their
mite to swell the contributions Of the lar
ger towns and cities-to purchase bread
for the hungry and clothing for the naked
of subdued and impoverished nation.
Let us all work together, for association
is the chief instrument of power in these
days,-meu have ceased acting alone.
They now move to the achievement of
everything in masses, whether to carry
forward great project or relieve the suf-
feriug Therefore, let us take hold of
this subject Of sending relief to the
French as an entire community Let
some of our prominent citizens move in
this matter, and the community will fol-
low, FIR humanity pervades the spirit of
all our people.

Ladies and Gentlemen On the
western coast eff Scotland where it slopes

word "Ayry," meaning an eagles nest

mouth and contiguous harbor, long

Do You Miss Me Z!
Do we miss theel--ask of midnight,

Do we miss thee,--ask Of midnight,
Does ii miss the light of noon;
Ask the rose with faded petals,
Has the summer fed too soons
Ask the trees whose naked branches
Wave before the northern blast,
Do they miss what made their freshness,
And their glory in the past?
We have seen the Spring in beauty,
Walk abroad upon the earth,
While attendant on her footsteps
Sweetest flowers sprang into birth;
And the notes of feathered songsters
Came from every glade and glen,
As though all things were conspiring
To make glad the hearts of men.
Then came Summer, ever welcome,
With its wealth of rainbow skies,
With its glowing, golden sunsets,
And its clouds of thousand dyes;
With its long bright days of sunlight,
And its blessed showers of rain,
Giving promise of rich harvest
To the fields of waving grain.
Next in order grand old Autumn
Comes with Overlooking horn,
With its fruit o'erladen branches,
And its shoaves of ripened corn;
With its friendly social gath brings,
And their words of sweetest cheer;
While the lovely Indian summer
With its glores crowns the year.
Yet through all these happy seasons,
l have missed thee from my side,
My faithful friend and comforter,
My counsellor, my guide;
And oft from where the sons of mirth
Their boisterous vigils keep,
In silence and in solitude
I've turned away to weep.
o, blessed is the memory
OF happy days gone by,
When earth to me was Paradise
If only thou vert nigh;
When joys sprang up along our path,
Perennial and free,
And sorrow half like pleasure seemed.
So it was shared with thee.
l knew-indeed, had always known,
That we must one day part
But, loved one, how reluctantly
| laid this truth to heart;
Or with what faintness realized
The sadness that must come,
When we should hear thy voice no more
In our once happy home.
Der all those scenes which charmed our sigh
shadow seems to fall,
Earth's most enchanting melodies
Have lost their sweetness, ALL
1t sometimes seems as if my heart,
Had almost helpless grown,
So lost, and weak, without the strength
1t borrowed from thine own.
But God forbid that should seem
To murmur ieplne,
Enough to know that in the past
My life wGs blest by thine;
Enough to feel, when once from earth,
And earthly sorrows free,
That Heaven, with all its blessedness,
Is to be shared with thee.

rison in the time Of the Indian wars.
The stairs are made of blocks of oak TIM

What is quite remarkable as anything

life worthless without his Malvina, at

breast. Having lost his heart he natural

The ball entered the right side, which
was the wrong side for his purpose, glanced
on rib, and lodged in his shoulder-blade.
The doctors dug it out, and Daniel will
recover. The other young man is as well
as usual.

OBITUARY.
Hon. Isano X. Biester.

Hon. IsRno E. Biester.
This well.known Democratic politician and
successful lawyer died at bis residence in Lam
caster yesterday morning of paralysis, from the
effects of which he had been suffering since
January 2S. He belonged to one of the oldest
families in the State, family that has cOntr-
buted half dozen of its members to the SER
vice of the people in Congress, and long been
prominent in the political annals of the State.
The father of the deceased was the Hon. VII
liam Hester who represented Lancaster county
in the National House of Representatives from
1881 to 1887, and at one time attained great
prominence as the active leader of the Anti
Masonic party. His grand uncle, General
Daniel Hester, was member of the first four
Congresses from this State, and of the Seventh
and Eighth Congresses from Maryland, to
which State he had removed.
Mr.. Hester was born in the village of New
Holland, Lancaster county, in May, 1894, and
was therefore not quite forty-seven years of age
at the time of his death. After a careful pre-
paration, he entered Yale College in 1888, and
graduated from that institution with high
honors. He entered the law Office of Thomas
E. Franklin, Esq, of Lancaster, after gra-
duating, and was admitted to the bar in 1S45,
soon attaining front rank and high legal
reputation. In 1S4S, he was appointed Deputy
Attorney General for Lancaster county, posi-
tion identical with the District Attorneyship of
the present day; and in 1852 when but twenty
eight years of age, was elected n Repre-
sentative in Congress. The position as
sumed by him on the slavery question
in the famous Kansas. Nebraska debate
led to his defeat for reelection in 1854, and
again in 1856. In 1868 he was member of
the Democratic National Convention, and was
chosen to represent Pennsylvania on the Demo-
cratic National Executive COMMITTEES. He was
frequently solicited, but invariably refused, to
become candidate for the Supreme bench of
the State, and in 1859 was mentioned in connec-
tion with the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor, but his name was not brought before the
convention by his friends. OF late years, Mr.
Hester's views had been of liberal tendency,
aud in the National Convention of 1868 espe-
cially he attained prominence by antagonizing
the restroactve policy of the majority. By his
industry and ability he had attained large and
lucrative practice at the bar, and added mate
rally to the ample fortune which he had in
herited.

mate end; and if the people are not quickly
aroused to a sense of their danger, the
day is not distent when this proud city, too,
will be held in vassaage by exacting tyrsnts
not whit more merciful or reputable than
those who dominate New York. Heretofore
we have looked, in critical moments, for de-
liverance from some of the worst of threat
ened dangers to our Courts, and fortunately
we have not looked in vain. But year after
year we elect legislators who are hopelessly
corrupt; we are growing comparatively care
less in the selection of Judges; we
install in important local Offices men
who are unworthy of public
confidence; and if we take few more down
ward steps, system as terrible that which
now prevails in New York may be fastened
upon MS. The political organization of cities,
like the individual character of mankind, is
never at a stand-still it is always growing
either better or worse. Ours is, in some i'm
portant respects, deteriorating; and if it de-
generates with accelerated pace, it will soon
become as bad as that which holds New York
spell-bound under its miasmatic influence.
