The convention rsassembled on the
morning of the 9th Of November, the
President in the chair.
8. s. Pike of Lamoille. called attention
to the Homestead law and asked what
construction the several Probate Courts
put upon the law in cases where there
was a mortgage upon the lands including
the homestead, but the lands were worth
$500 above mortgage, in reference tc
placing any burdens of the mortgage
upon the homestead. The question was
discussed by Judges French, Stoddard
| Tilden and others.
Joel G. Baker, in behalf of the com.
mittee on Practice, reported that as the
duties imposed by the resolution had
been interpreted to require the committee
to not only report rules for the conduct
ing of business before the Probate Court
but also the forms of procedure, blanks
and records, the committee would not be
able to make complete their labors during
the session of the convention, and asked
that further time be given to finish their
labore.
On motion of Judge Stoddard it was
voted that the committee be directed to
continue their labors, and to agree upon
the forms of proceedings, records, etc,
that they procure the blanks they would
recommend to be used to be printed, and
a copy of each to be sent to each Probate
Court in the State, and that the commit
portion of their expenses for printing and
other expenses.
On motion of Joel @. Baker, it was
voted that the Judge or Register of each
Probate Court be requested to send a
copy of all blanks in use in their courts
respeetiv ly to Myron A. Bailey at St.
Adams, for the nae of the committee.
On motion of Torrey E. Wales, it was
voted that the committee be further en-
powered to call convention of Judges
and Registers, at such time and place as
they Judge best, whenever they shall be
ready to report.
It YVES further voted that the committee
be directed TO ascertain where the neces-
sary books, blanks and stationary for the
nae Of the Probate Courts of the State
could be obtained on the least terms, and
TO report such proposals as they should
receive to the convention to be called by
them.
Myron a. Bailey moved that the Secre-
tary he instructed to furnish his minutes
Of the proceedings of this convention to
the newspapers of the State.
On motion it was voted that the thanks
of this convention be rendered to the
railroad authorities for the return checks
furnished the members of the convention.
On motion of S. S. Pike, the thanks of
the convention were rendered 70 the Pres
iIent of the convention for the courtesy
aud patience with which he had presided
over it's deliberations, to which Judge
Stoddard responded.
Then, after general discussion for an
hour. on motion of Joel G, Baker, the

The Lecture Course.

course of first class popular lectures
~ entertainments has been arranged for
citizens this winter which brings to
ar platform some of the most vigorous
minds and eminent characters of the
cosntry. 1t has been no small task to &C.
cure them, SO great is the call in all
ouarters for their services. After several
months correspondence, the arrange
ments have been completed. There are to
he six lectures and entertainments to be
opened by the most celebrated and popu-
lar Of American lecturers, John B. Cough,
on Tuesday evening, November 81, who
packs every hall in which he speaks with
delighted people.
Persons should secure their season
tickets early. Tickets for Coughs lee
ture should also be secured as soon as they
are offered for sale, which will be Mon

for the course have been placed at 50 90
for the Elk lectures, which is at less price
than any other lecture course in Vermont
The expenses of lecture here, it should be
remembered, ARE more than at any point in
the State, and j: 40 only by the strictest
economy and the liberal patronage of the
people that fret class lecture can be mad
to pny expenses, and it is therefore partio.
ularly desirable that our citizens should
ensure the course financially by the pur-
chase of a large number of season tickets
ut an early day. and before the first lee
ture. The following is the programme of
the course:

Henry Y. Barnes.

Il
Henry Y. Barnes, Esq, an old resident
OF Montpelier, died on Tuesday last at
the age of seventy-eight years. He had
been resident of the town for more than
fifty years, larger part of the time he
had been an active and influential citizen.
He had held several town offices, although
he was not what might be termed pop
ular man, he was a man of rare integrity
and independence of character. He was
harness maker by trade, and had his
place of business for more than forty
years, near the hotel now kept by Mr..
Bishop, and once owned and kept that
hotel. An industrious, honest, thorough
business man, he accumulated hand.
some property.
He had marked and decided charac-
ter, with positive traits, mentally and
morally, and was not an individual of pre-
fences but of reality in all things. A rigid
temperance man, almost fanatical and
total abstinence was part of his religion.
In his eye a rumseller was not only a
violator of the law, he was bad man
who ought to be punished and whose traf
fc ought to be suppressed, and was fore
most and vigilant in the prosecution of
the prohibitory law.
Mr.. Barnes was an earnest and always
consistent anti-slavery man, of strong con-
viotions, and he could hardly have fellow
ship as christian with those who held
adverse opinions. In his view principles
made the man, and he truly lived out his
opinions. He always gave of his time
and his money freely to advance meas
ures of vital concern to the general well
fare. Although Wing and Republi-
can, politically, he was ready to abandon
party for any new organization that prom
ised to deal more directly with those
great evils drunken meas and slavery. He
was devout, consistent and active mem
Der of the Congregational church.
Like ell men who hold opinions clearly
and sharply defined, especially on ques-
tions of morals, and who are fearless in
their expression, Mr.. Barnes made en-
emies among those whose opinions or
whose traffic be never spared. The liquor
dealers cordially hated him. He was Of
tentimes sneeringly called radical aud a
fanatic. Although not progressive &C.
cording TO young American ideas, yet he
had that stern integrity. fearless life,
honest hatred of what he judged wrong
cordial friendship for what be thought
right, that liberality toward every object
that seemed worthy of charity and thnt
sincerity, frankuess and directness in
which he did or was, that woa for him
the sincere regards and real respect of all
who knew, sufficiently to understand,
what straight forward, direct, honest
man he was.
His life was remark able instance of
independent thought and expression. that
many might copy with prof., avoiding
the extremes both of thought and action
to which he sometimes considered it his
duty to go. The writer was acquainted
with Mr.. Barnes for twenty years, and
was pleased with the excellent tribute 10
his virtues in the Montpelier Freeman,
from which the main portions of this ar
ticle have been compiled. The article is |
a frank testimonial to a fearless and up
right, consistent man.

The idea We see started and acquiesced in by
some of the newspapers, that most of the VIC
lent and disgraceful episodes leading to divorce,
murder sclf.destruction, &C., in connection
with married women, appear to be in cases
where the women have had the misfortune OF
having been early married, is. We believe, ell
tirely erroneous aud unsupported by testimony
DR.. Frankliu'S wisdom, in his advice on this
subject, is rs much to be commended az some
Others of his opinions. 1t is probable that
early marriages are, as general rule, the most
conducive to the happiness of both parties, and
the most apt to secure in after life peace and
harmony. Bad men and bad women will have
"disgraceful and violent episodes" whether
they marry late or early in life. ;.r
