Mr.. Joel Carter-or as he was
familiarity called "old Uncle jake
probably the oldest man in the town of
Ferrisburg, died on Monday last, the 9th
inst. in the Oath year of his age. He
would have been ninety-four on the 10th
Of May next. Steps were being taken
to procure him pension, to which he
was believed to be justly entitled, but,
like many another of the tried aud true
of the 1912 "boys in blue" he was not
spared to fully realize the benefits of the
services which were cheerfully endured by
them in behalf of our common country.
Mr. Henry l.. Lamb, native YER
monter, became on the LIST inst. editorially
connected with the Troy IN. W Times.
Mr.. Lamb was graduated at the Univer-
sity of Vermont, in the class of 1856
edited with sound ability and success the
Burlington Times, for three years, and
afterwards the Utica IN. W Herald.
Obliged to leave that influential journal
on account of poor health, he still main
tanned his connection with the press, by
acting as Albany correspondent of the
Utica Herald and Troy Times, In this
position his letters have been of the
"short, sharp, decisive" character, and
have done much to show up the ways
so dark and vain-which the Tammany
party practice with so much success at
Albany. Mr.. Lamb has many warm
friends in Vermont, and they will rejoice
at his permanent association with so
sterling journal as the Troy Times.

THE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD. A
change in the Presidency Of this great
enterprise was consumated Wednesday in
the choice of Col. Thomas A. Scott of the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad as Presi-
dent in the place of Hon. Oliver Ames.
Mr.. Amcs, whose connection with the
road has been long one, wished to be
relieved from the great care which the
very responsible position imposed, and
peremptorily declined reelection. Col.
Scott, his successor, has for some time
been railroad man of marked genius.
Hon. Simon Cameron, when Secretary
Of War, appointed him his Assistant,
where he served with great ability. The
meeting yesterday, at which the New
Board of Directors was chosen, was I'M
usually harmonious, and although nearly
all the stock was represented, their cleo
ton was unanimous. The energy and
great business daring which the leaders
in this gigantic enterprise have shown
certainly deserve complete success.

The Committee on the removal of the

France. The Government persists in
selecting Versailles, and will probably
prevail. Napoleon, in a letter to the

We are glad to see the friends OF
Temperance in Rutland County, are show
ing themselves worthy of the noble prin-
ciples they profess to represent. They
have there, as well as we have here, a
willy and persistent foe,o whose sordid,
mercenary interests and powerful lusts
and appetites, render it constant and
positive power for evil. If it cannot be
overthrow and its strongholds utterly de-
stroyed, it must be depressed and held
in check by powerful moral sentiment,
and persistent legal effort. This is also
necessary to stimulate and encourage vir-
tue; necessary especially, to the preser-
walton Of individual character when but
partially matured, and for its formation
on the side of virtue, with the young and
inexperienced.
The friends Of temperance in Rutland
County, have our warmest sympathy
Especially do We congratulate them in
having so sturdy an advocate of theiI
cause as the Rutland independent
There is no vacillation with reference tl
this subject in It's columns. 1t is bold
outspoken, and fearless Success to The
independent we say, for its brave AND
consistent course on this live and vita
issue and success to the good cause
which it so nobly advocates in Rutland
and in Rutland County.
