Re.appOrtIOnment of United States
Deposit Money.

We give the redistribution to the sew
| eral towns aud cores, furnished by State
Treasurer Page, to the Montpelier Jour.
nal, of the fund known as the United
States Deposit money. This fund is the
portion awarded to Vermont by Congress
of money derived from the sales of public
lands. The distribution was made at a
time when the national government had
surplus of revenue, and the act was
founded on the theory that the public
lands were the property of the people ;
and when the money from this source
was not needed by the government, both
Justice and sound policy demanded dis
tribution of it to the States according to
their representative population. This,
however, was not gift to the States, but
deposit" liable to be recalled when
ever needed by the nation. AS the gov
ernment passed through the late war
without demanding the repayment of
this fund, it may be assumed pretty safe
ly that the State will never be called upon
for it. The following is the amount as
signed to each town in the new apportien-
ment, also a column showing the loss and

ARLINGToN.-The Manchester Journal
has these interesting church statistics,
concerning the venerable town of Arling-
ton ga little over a century ago the
from Connecticut, by several families,
among whom were the Bncks. Hards,
Canfelds and Hawleys, all strong Church
of En8land people, who left their former
homes on account of the religious perse-
cutions suffered there. Jehiel Hswley,
who has often been called the founder of
the town, was one of the party, and for
years kept the society together, by him
self reading the church services every
Sunday in his own house, until clergy
man was settled among them. The de-
scendants of these families are now scat
tered throughout the length and breadth
of the land. Within the past year, how
ever, circumstance has occurred which
is worthy of note. Among the students
in attendance at the Vermont Episcopal
Institute last season, were one from each
of the States of Vermont, Indiana and
Connecticut, the three being unacquainted
with each other previous to their meeting
at the Institute, and all of different names
On acquaintance and consultation they
find they are cousins, and all descendants
of these old Arlington families, and one
hundred years after still faithful to the
church and religion of their forefathers,
are found pursuing their studies in one
of her religious institutions in the old
State, only one of the three bearing the
old family name.

THE FAULT IN AMERICAN CHARAC-
TER Rev. Mr.. Frothingham thinks slm-
plicity is the great want of the American
character. We live too superficially and
slowly, and indulgence eats out con-
science The response to the appeal OF
burning Chicago, great as 1T was, did not
begin to equal the demand we have
spent so much on our follies and vices
and extravagsnces that we have nothing
left for an emergency like this. We
ought to learn lesson from the yachts
whose trials of speed have interested US
80 much. Gay pleasure boats they are.
beautiful and graceful in shape. Go into
their c4bins; they are furnished like pal
aces. See the costly wines there are on
The t4ble to feast the ladies and gentle
men. But look at these boats as they take
their position and strain for the race. See
how every line has been made with a
view to swiftuess: how provision has
heen made for eeonomizing every breath
of wind No pennsnts flying now no
crowd of men and women on the deck.
Everything in the way of ornament that
might impede their speed has been re-
moved. These gay boats bend themselves
TO the wind and face the elements in their
widest fury, sweeping on boldly to the
mark. We Americans, with our wealth.

NEWSPAPER CREDITs.-A few days
since the Burlington Free Press took oc
casion to characterize THE HERALDs
manner of crediting an article entitled
"Grand List of 1871" to the Montpelier
Journal, as disreputabl journalism. We
repel this charge. The article was an i'm
portant one to the readers of THE HER
AID, and that it might attract the atten-
ton of those interested, it was leGded and
put in conspicuous place in the paper.
In another paragraph in our local COL
umns the attention of readers was called
to it, saying in distinct terms that it was
taken from the Montpelier Journal, and
that it was probably from the pen of Hon.
E. P. Walton. We not only gave the
Journal credit, in which it originally ap-
peared, but also to its supposed author
Is an endeavor to place important matter
before our readers and to give full credit,
iisreputable journalism ? We profess to
be live journal and to call the attention
Of readers to important questions, and it
ia no matter to the Free Press how we do
it. We propose to conduct our paper in
our own way. We regret, because by an
oversight, the Free Press should give +
wrong credit, and that an endeavor, cour-
+eously, to correct the error, the Free
Press should show evidence of temper and
charge Us with disreputable journalism.
1t was all their own fault, and it should
not take umbrage at THE HERALD if it
"als attention to its error. The Free
Press has it's own ways-so have other
journals. and they should not throw
.tones at others while they have glass ir

he Free Press files, they will find they

5inues to steal column after column of it.

Biennial Sessions

Etljt0r Butland Herald The people
of Vermont, [ trus', will duly appreciate
the obligations under which they are laid
by the "enterprising press" of St Abans
for an exhibit of our State finances. But
for the ''enterprise" of the editor of the
Messenger, the people would have re-
mained in gross ignorance on this impor-
tant subject. He informs his readers in
the following respectful and courteous
terms, that "our remarkable legislature,
economical to parsimony, and biennial to
stu pidity, made no provision for its pub
Iication." The yeomanry of Vermont
have not regarded our legislature as OBJ
uoxious to the charge of "parsimopy,"
thia must be a metropolitan view of the
matter. Under other circumstances the
omission of such provision might have
been regarded as a serious defect, but
with our competent and and highly es-
teemed treasurer, who has managed with
great skill the finances of the State for
the last five years, the people were not
disposed to distrust or complain, but were
indElging thesserious reflection that in '72
the report of the treasurer weuld not
have that old item of fifty thousand dol
rs paid TO defray the expenses of the
session the preceding year. Should not
decent respect to the opinion of man
kind restrain from bitter invectives to-
ward the legislature, aud the constitu-
tional convention ? F.

GONE INTO THE DEMOCRATIC FOLD -
Th4 Springfield Republican thinks that
Rev J. D. Fulton of fremont Temple,
Boston, could be worked up into a good
average grog-shop democrat without
much waste, for in the sermon preached
by him last Sunday he complimented
John QuinCy Adams for his views ia op-
position TO woman suffrage, and declared
that Of two evils--free rum and woman
sutfrsge-he did not know which WAS
the greatest. He was proud of Adams,
and thought his election would be- an
honor to the Commonweal'h. Fulton
helped TO nominate the prohibition candi-
GATE for governor, who is a warm advocate
on woman suffrage, but it seems that Mr..
Fltmans position has fairly driven the
sensational parson into the Democratic
told. So be it.
IHE MoKMoNs.-The polygamists are

y NECESSARY for the welfare of the Nor
mons, the law might be abrogsted so as
70 allow one wife in each State. Anyhow,
'Ae decisions and the penalty of the law
must utterly devastate their beliefs in the
plural number to which they yet tena-
"oa'ly cling.

TIE CHOLERA.-The cholera has made
fearful ravsges in Russia. The vicinity
Of Moscow, especially the villages along
the river Mostve, suffered much, and in
some villages twenty per cent, of the
population is said TO have died. The
whole number OF cases that were reported
in that country, from February 1st to
August 1st. was nearly sixty thousand,
and the whole number of deaths was
twenty -four thousand seven hundred and
tirty-one; but the real number was
much larger. The disease has nearly died
ont for the present season. The Siberian
cattle pest has now appeared. The worst
o. this is that a man, if bitten by fly
which has touched a carcass, is as liable
TO the di4ease as cow or horse.
