Can any business show better record
twenty years after it's suspension ? How
truly it shows that under the rough, rug
ged face of the stage driver, engineer or
pilot there is a warm heart that beats in
sympathy for his fellow man. How tru-
ly it proves that business does not make
the man. "Act we'll your part there all
the honor lies" How truly the history
of these men proves that silk gloves and
patent leather boots do not make the
man, neither does money or rich friends,
they only assist man to shirk the respon-
sibility the Creator assigned him to as
sumo. For me give me the honest, toll
ing man who eats the bread of honest
toll. I care not at what, though it be
honest industry, and you may fraternze
with him who obtains his living by fraud
and deceit by robbing the bread from the
children of the poor. How contemplate
meanness and dishonesty it is in the fall
of the year, in factory with fifty oper-
atives, all with families for the treasurer

commission of from to 10 per cent. on
all the supplies you use, or leave. Star

they must submit. For me give me the
cheerful merry laugh of the stage driver
with his coach and six, now ascending
wirh tee shrill blast from the tin horn to
awake the postmaster. The days Of
staging with all its pleasures are past
meier to come again. To the memory
of the drivers we can say "rest in peace"
With the stage drivers forgotten, can
not we think of the old agents, "Bill'
Avery with his old dog discussing the
relative merits of the different kinds of
sheep with the Rutland harness maker, or
good natured George Perry, or the vivaci-
GUS Rance Colburth. Think back to Joel
Beaman sitting in one chair, feet in the

CAsTLETON-Mr. HARDWOOD, the man
who forgot to return Frank Patterson's
team, which he borrowed to go to Fair
haven and back, was overtaken in his fclly
and forgetfulness, six days after, in Col
Grain, Mass, and on the eighth day after
their departure they were returned to
CastIetoD, in good condition. by the par
ties who had purchased the team after All
absence of two days. The offender was
Immediately arraigned before @. Spencer,
Esq. to answer to the charge of horse
stealing. He waived an examination and
put himself wholly on the mercy OF the
court, who, after few sensible remark |
regarding the crime, held him for trial. /

and shortly thereafter he was on his way
to the Rutland County all, with s. eel
bracelets" on bis wrists from theme, in |
due time, he will doubtless be conveyed to .
Windsor, where the State will provide |
for him q steady home, perhaps from five !
to ten years. The prisoner informed the
court that his native town was Malone,
NY, and bis age 30 years; residence,
Lake Village, N. H; occupation, a trav-
cling man. The State is indebted to |
Charlie Ransom and Henry Bishop for
the recovery of the thief and property.

"A wealthy citizen in one of the towns
in Western Vermont, recently went on
three days journey to New York; on his
return, he arrived at Castleton about nine
o'clock in the evening, and called on
landlord Beach, of the Bomoseen House,
for room for the night. 1t was furnish
ed him, and in the morning the traveller
appeared at the breakfast table, with a
small bundle of crackers, and called for a
cup of coffee. There was some smiling
around the table, and one of the boarders
remarked to Mr.. Beach that he ought to
charge him for a full meal. 'No," says Mr..
B., "the old man has got the start of Us ;
he made a contract last night for his lodg-
ing and cup of coffee this morning, at
fifty cents, or he would have walked home
last night" A long life of industry and
economy has brought this man an ample
fortune, estimated at from thirty to forty
thousand dollars, in lands, money and
government bonds, and he has been
selectman and justice of the peace for
several years in the town of his residence.
-Ooe of our old ctizers met one who
had lately moved into the place, and con-
graduated him on his pleas ant new home
and removal to Castleton, adding thai,
during his married life, of more than forty
years, he had moved twenty one times,
and thought he knew little something
about moving-that he had also resided
in seven different states, South Carolina,
Georgia, Indiana, New Jersey, New York,
Connecticut and Vermont. He might ap-
propriately be termed moving man."

next to his premises on Main street, at the
rate of ten thousand dollars an acre. Dit
