A Worker.

1t is pretty generally understood thai
if there is any man who has to work more
hours than any man ought to, it is the
editor of daily paper; but there is one
such editor in this State who takes upon
himself almost double the labor usually
falling to his class, and still he lives. We
refer to Henry Clark of Rutland, who, il
he doesn't break down soon, may travel
all over the Cannibal Islands with perfect
safety, as he will everywhere be known
to be tougher than billed owl" He is
Secretary of the Vermont Senate, Score.
tary of the Grand Masonic Lodge, Secre.
tary of the State Agricultural Society,
and Secretary of half dozen smaller bod.
les, in every one of which he performs an
immense amount of labor and performs it
well. AS Secretary of the Grand Lodge he
has during the last year, besides keep
ing the records, written thirty-fve hun
dred letters and received more than five
thousand. Just think of it and this is
only small part of his work. Look in
upon him during the session of the Legis-
lature and you would think he had work
enough on hand for an entire year. See
him at the State fair and it will make
your bones ache as the unsystemstic but
exacting "roll up and tumble up" to pour
business by the cart load upon his table.
Enter his sanctum and you will be re-
minded of miller's chopper" and will
only wonder as you read the Herald the
next morning to see that the grists are
not little mixed" He is the secretsri-
est man alive. We move that he be
chosen grand secretary of the Working
mems Union.-St. Adams Messenger.

vanandigham's Political Views.

CINCINNATI, O., June II.
The Times and Chronicle this evening
10 publishes an interview between Vallan
digham and one of the editors on Wednes
. day, in which Vallsndigham said that
there can be no more political campaigns
fought on the issues of the last few years
They are dead, but if the Democratic
party refuse to move to the front and &C.
: cept the new order of things, it will
simply pass away, and some other party.
made up of the earnest and progressive
elements of old parties, will take posses.
sion of the government.
When asked if he did not think the
campaign of 1872 would be fought on the
present issues, be said that they may be
undertaken by one party, but it will fail.
One year ago Grant made promise of his
intention to lead the party into new de-.
parture, and he would have done it, but a
gang of old politicians at Washington
held him back and scared him with CAB.
BILE about defeat, until he went square
back into the old rules.
Grant is an honest man, and would do
right if politicians would let him, but
that they won't do it. He took the back
track on the San Domingo question. in
which, apart from the corrupt means used
he was clearly right, tell you, for the
annexation of the territory and control of
all outlying fragments of this continent
are destined for the American people.
We shall have San Domingo, and Cuba,
and Mexico, and all the rest. We missed |
the greatest chance we ever had in not |
getting Cuba during the Spanish troubles.
We could have had it then for the mere
asking, and in few years we would have
been owners OF the richest and most pro-
ductive island in the world. Why. thew
used to talk about me and call me dis
unionist. 1 tell you, sir, earnestly and
soiemnly, that never was disunionist,
and L always did and do now believe that
the Union will be perpetuated and extend
until it embraces the continent.
In his views Vallandigham thrice re.
peated it, with marked emphasis, in reply
70 remark of the interviewer, that he !
lid not see, with the hatred exhibited to.
wards him by the dead issue of Democra.
~ that he could stay in that party. He
'miled and said, "What can do? The !
Republican party won't move forward; it /,
wants to stick to its old clothes, and nv {
rope is to get the Democracy to push and t
'rint it. However, there is no telling
'hat 800 days may bring forth, and of
ne thing am certain if the Demo. t
ratic party fails to become party of .
rogress, of advanced ideas, and 1 from =
onsclentious convictions decide to act i,
Nth any other political party, they will c
ever inquire what my past political rec.
I'd has been.

Horrible Murder and Suicide.
New YORK, June I9.

New YORK, June l9.
The murder by DR.. Connolly of his two
children and his death by his own hand,
yesterday afternoon has created intense
excitement. Connolly was apparently in
good circumstances, having fair practice
and seemed to be devoted TO his wife and
children. Occasionally he would drink
to excess, and this in time caused his prac-
tice to fall off. He became worse, and
was often for several days under the IN
fuence of liquor. He finally grew SO bad
that his friends deemed it best to send
him to the inebriate asylum and he return
ed about three months ago, apparently
cured. He soon relapsed into his old
ways and became worse than before. The
Doctor has been for two or three days On
one of his periodical sprees, and on Satur.
day and yesterday he took occasional
doses Of morphine to quiet his nerves.
About o'clock p. m. yesterday he enter
ed the bedroom of himself and wife. tax
ing the children with him and locking the
door. The police were notified about an
hour later that something was wrong, but
when they wished to break open the door,
Mrs. Connolly protested that her husband
had merely locked himself in his room, Ia
ken an opiate, and was sleeping off its ef-
fects. The door was finally forced open,
and a horrible spectacle was presented.
On the bed lay the father and children al
dead and literally bathed in blood. The
headboard of the bed was spattered with
blood, and the bed-clothing and mattress
were soaked. The weapon which the lu-
matte had used lay on the bed. 1t was a
carving knife with blade sixteen inches in
length and tapering gradually to fine
point. The threats of both children had
been cut, their jugular veins being ssv-
cred. The throat of the father was cut
nearly from ear to ear, and there were
several stab wounds in the breast in the
vicinity of the heart. A physician exam
lned the bodies and announced that death
had occurred several hours previous. Mrs.
Connolly was rendered insane for a tine
by the terrible discovery.

THE RUTLAND HERALD
The Town Hall Question.

Rutland is getting an unenviable motto
riety abroad by its vacillation upon the
town hall question. One week she votes
to build, the next week refuses. So have
matters gone until the town has become
a subject of ridicule. Have we no honor
or reputation at stake in this matter
Rutland has in its principal village nc
public building that it can control. Il
there another village in New England in
similar situation We answer no
Rutland must have town hall and will
have one. Why then cavil over it. Walk
up like men and build one. The village
Of Rutland, for building for holding
public meetings, is at the mercy of men
It's town meetings are held in the streets
On Tuesday next let the people decide to
have town hall and proceed at once to
its erection.
This is a simple question, easy of solu
ton. The village of Rutland proposes tc
pay $4,000 towards the building, pro.
vided they can have engine houses on the
ground floor. Not a dollar of this comes
from the pocket Of the taxpayer living
outside the corporation limits. The town
pays 10000, and one.third Of this sum is
paid by the Taxpayers in the village be-
side the $4,000. Can the town of Rut-
land ever build town hall cheaper No,
never. 1t is the best proposition ever
made under such circumstances. The
village is to pay about $4,000 of the
whole cost. Can the taxpayers out of
the village ever ask them to pay more. 1t
is fair, honorable, economical propo-
sition, and ought to be satisfactory to all
candid thinking men in Rutland.
Suppose this proposition is rejected, and
the village builds its engine house separ-
ate. Does any reasonable man expect
this will defeat the building of town
hall. 1t only delays it, and the town
will eventually have to build hall, prob
ably at a cost of $4,000 or $4,000.
The question therefore is simply this
Will the town avail itself of this oppor-
tunity and save $4,000, or will it wait
year and throw away $4,000. This is
all there is of it,
Under these circumstances shall we
stop to quarrel about location, or say the
town has been cheated in the purchase of
a lot2 Suppose the town has paid more
than it ought perhaps for site for the
hall, what better can you do with the
lot. You have it on hand, and it will not
sell at the price paid for it. 1t is paltry
to say the town will not build
on certain lot because it was cheated in
the purchase.
We do not propose to argue this ques-
ton more at length, for it is a simple
that every man can solve for
himself. 1t is true economy for the town
and matter of justice to the village of
Rutland. Let every voter consider these
facts between this and Tuesday next, and
hen let him go to the polls and openly
vote for the true interest of the town,-to
build q town hall.

is not much probability of butter reach
ing fifty cents or cheese eighteen, which
they must to make it equal to selling

Having thus given you briefly the foun.
dation "for the faith which is in me-" I
leave it to those who can to controvert, by
facts,-mere assertions should have no in.
fuence. The benefits to be derived, both
to the road and to the farming communi-
ty, are too immense not to receive careful,
consideration. Very truly,

DAYTON, June 20.
The following letter from Chief Justice
Chase was received by the late c. L. VAL
landigham few days after the promulga-
ton of the famous new departure resolu-
ton:
WAsHNGroN, May 20.
My Dear Sir:-I have lust read tbe
resolutions of the Montgomery, Ohio. Dem
ocratic Convention, reported by vourseIf
together with your remarks and those If
Mr.. Hanks. You have rendered great
service to your country and party At
least such is my Judgment. May God
bless you for it. Nothing can be truer
than your declaration, that the movement
contemplated by the resolutions is the res-
toration of the Democratic party to its an
Gent platform of progress and reform. I
know you to well to doubt your courage
or your fidelity to your convictions.
Very truly yours,
s. P. CHASE.

PREsENTATION.-On Thursday even
ing last, after the close of the Grand
Lodge, at Burlington, Grand Master Park
Davis was called on at his room at the
Van Ness House by a delegation from
Wlndham, his native county, who present
ed him, through Bro. S. G. Fleming, in
behalf of the maker, Bro. A. Worthington
of Saxton's River, with q gavel of yery
fine workmanship. The handle is quite
unique in its way, being composed of
alternate sections of buffalo horn, whales
tooth, common horn, and walrus tush.
The head is of solid ivory.
Apropos of Grand Master Davis, the St.
Adams Messenger has this pleasant rpara.
graph:
The Masonic brethren of this county
ought to feel highly complimented with
the choice of Park Davis, Esq, as Grand
Master, his immediate predecessor being
also citizen of this county. There is
another fact of which they may be proud
1t is said among those who know 1--WE
don't that Mr.. Davis and DIR. Hall are
in the science of the craft bv
any in the State, and that DIR. Halls ad-
dress before the Grand Lodge was a mas.
terpiece.
