ly encored and they were compelled to
repeat the selection. This was quite a
compliment, as the piece was arranged by
MIR. Philip Miller. a member of the band.
As for the other pieces, any one who has
ever heard Doring's Band knows they
could not have been otherwise than well
performed. Just before the rendition of
the last piece Mr.. Mietzke was made the
recipient Of beautiful silver ice pitcher,
coffee urn, and goblets, presented by the
pupils. It was such complete surprise
that he was unable to make any reply.
Mr.. Kelly, Principal of one of the schools,
was also presented with silver tea set in
the morning. ae ..eE
After the concert the Band serenaded
Mr.. j. N. Baxter, lone of the trustees,)
chairman of the committee on music, at
which place they were entertained in q
most hospitable manner. Mr.. Mietzke
was also serenaded and extended the hos
FATALITIES of his house to the Band. The
Rutland Herald Office was next serenaded
at which place very appropriate speech
was made by Mr.. Clark, editor of the
Rutland Herald. The Band then re.
turned to the hotel, gave Salisbury part
ing serenade and left for home, taking the
1875 train on the Troy and Boston. A
repetition of the affair on a much larger
scale is contemplated for next year, when
there will be six or eight hundred voices
combined instead of four hundred.

POLICE CoURT.-William f. Brooks,
the celored barber, who was arrested on
the morning of May 31st, on the suspicion
of setting fire to the dwelling house on
Howe street he had lately sold to James
Fl. Smith and Amelia E. Croker, was
brought before Justice Fl. W. Porter yes
terday morning at half past nine o'clock
The circumstances of the fire, and the trac
ing of bare footsteps To the house in
which Mr.. Brooks lodged, and the find
ing of dirt In his bed, which formed the
ground of suspicion that he was the in.
cendiary, it will be remembered were full
ly reported in the HERALD at the time
of the occurrence. The examination
yesterday was quite extended, continu-
ing till FIVE O'Clock in the afternoon, but
no new facts were developed, and the eyi.
dence produced was wholly of a circum-
stantial character. 1t was regarded by
the Justice, however, as of sufficient
weight to warrant the holding of the pris.
oner for trial before the county court, and
he was accordingly bound over to the
September term in the sum of $3.50. N.
P. Simons, Esq, counsel for the prisoner
became his bondsman and he was accord
ingly released. The prosecution was
conducted by William M. Everts, Esq.

Meeting of the Printers.

Forever bright in the memory of all
who were there, will be the recollection OF
the meeting of Vermont editors and pub.
fishers at Rutland, on the 9Th of June, q
full account of which we give on our first
page. To the general reader the report OF
the business meeting may not be very in
teresting. but the essay of Col. Clarke OF
the st. Adams Messenger, cannot be other
wise than pleasant and profitable to all
who shall peruse it, which we hope none
will fail to do. The meeting was not SO
largely attended as we had hoped, but II
only made the measure of enjoyment 80
much the more to those who were there.
The round of pleasure was uninterrupted.
That this was so was mainly due to the
timely and constant efforts of the men,
bers of the Rutland press, and to the Tut
ties Whose name is legion especially,
whose time was wholly devoted to the
members of the association, and for which
they have the thanks of all
Friday morning was devoted to an ex-
cursion to the marble quarries at West
Rutland, where the wealth of the town,
and, in some degree, that of our State,
lies buried deep down in the bowels of
the earth, employing hundreds of men
and acres of machinery to develop and
bring it to the surface. Until we had in
speeted these suarries we had not the re-
hottest conception of their extent, nor the
vast amount of wealth employed in wor X
ing them In the afternoon all took a
ride to Manchester, thirty miles distant,
whirling through the lovely valleys of
Otter Creek and Battenkill, hedged by
the mort romantic of mountain scenery.
Arriving at the Equinox House, kept by
our brother Orvis, of the Manchester
Journal, we sat down to sumptuous feast
of Roses from which we were 10th to
rise, for never since the globe was set
travelling through the labyrinth of space,
did mortal ever discuss more inviting
bill of fare than was prepared on that
occasion Great is Orvis of the Journal,
and the Equinox is his profit, though
how much he profted by that dinner is
yet to be seen.
Back again, in the evening Henry
Clark of the HERALD gave a reception to
the members of the association and few
invited guests, at whose house an extreme
| ly pleasant hour was passed, after which
| each betook himself to virtuous couch
to dream of grand receptions, sumptuous
dinners, marble walks, pala tial residences
and the vast fields of hidden wealth be-
low the marble metropolis. To US who
live in this quarter of the state Rutland
is reached only by wearisome routes, but
once there we leave it with many regrets.
Saturday morning saw the association
scattered and gone, only Stone, Chase,
Swain and ourself remaining, the two
last with their much "better halves
Arriving at Bellows Falls 1--WE four and
no more" enjoyed sort of appendix
to our volume of pleasure at the house OF

pains was taken to make the few hours OF

One of the assistant ministers OF
Grace Church, Brooklyn Heights, Long
Island, the Rev. Arson R. Graves, who is
a graduate of Hobart College, Geneva,
and of the General Theological Seminary,
N. Y, and formerly OF Rutland, was or
dained priest on Trinity Sunday, June
4tb, as testimonial of gratitude and re-
spect, and in view of his extended Euro.

School gave him pocket Communion

handsome present in money.
The Rev. DIR. E. N. Potter, for two
and half years associate rector OF
st. Pauls Church, Troy, was, on June
eth, unanimously chosen President of
Union College, Schenectady. He gradu-
ated there ten years ago, and received his
doctorate thence two years since. A son
of the late Bishop Potter, of Pennsylvania,
who was at one time Vice-P President Of
Union College, and grandson of the late
President Mott, his family inheritance and
position, combine with his administrative
ability, scholarship and attachments, to
qualify him for this very important post.
He is the youngest of six brothers, all of
whom have attained to eminence in their
several professions. II he accepts the
position, as report says he does. he will
be one of our youngest College Presidents.
His future is full of promise. His re-
moval from Troy will be great loss to
his many friends there, who have learned
to prize him as a clergyman, an educator
and man. He is now, and has been for

The Musical Festival.
EDUCATION IN RUTLAND.

A correspondent of the Troy, N. Y,
Press, thus pleasantly describes recent
visit to Rutland, and the late Musical
| Festival:
For some time past preparations have
Teen in progress for the giving of a grand
concert, by the school children of the
various districts in this village. The
educational system of Rutland is similar
to that of Troy. 1t has high school,
grammar school and primary schools, the
town being divided into wards. ..
The Board of Education consists of
eight trustees elected by the people, of
which Judah Dana is President, also
Superintendent Of the schools, and Princi-
pal of the High School. A little over a
| year ago it was decided by the trustees
that the cultivation of music should be
| added to the course of studies, AID Prof.
Geo. A. Mietzke was engaged to teach
vocal music. To show their patrons that
they thoroughly appreciated the benefit,
it was decided that mammoth concert
several schools, on or about the last day
of the term.
The concert took place on Friday even.
Ing. DOrluS Danu, uIteen pieces, WnlCn
had been engaged for the occasion, arrived
at the town about 10 o'clock, and were
conducted to the Central House, where
their wants were abundantly supplied by
mine host Salisbury, who treated the Tro.
jams In fine manner. In the afternoon
a complete rehearsal of the whole pro.
gramme was had, it being the first time
the band and children had gone over it
together. The Concert was given in the
Rutland Opera House, block from the
depot. The hall was crammed to over
flowing long before the hour and many
were outside.
After giving the programme the cores.
pondent further says:
Everything passed off finely, Doring's
Band performing the instrumental pieces
in q brilliant and faultless manner, doing
themselves much credit Among the
vosal pieces the Ocean Nymph and The
Herdsman's Mountain Song drew forth re-
peated rounds Of applause. In the in.
stxumental part, the cornet duet perform
ed by F. Austin and @. Doring, was loud.

From the st. Adams Messenger
The Poets sleep.
BY G.. N. BRIGHAM.

Those who remember the last hours and burial
of Vermont's most genial man, and truest Poet
Charles Carnage Eastman, will, perhaps, in this
little waif recall something of the man, and some.
thing of that beautiful close so fitting TO the Poet
1t was his request that no bell should toll his re-
QUEEN, and he was gently borne to the grave a:
he desired, in the still, twilight hour. s-
The day was calm, and the skies were blue,
No cloud hung Ger the nut-brownlhills-
The wood-bird sang its carol through,
And droning turned the busy mills,
Till twilight hushed the toll of men
Along Winooski's Northern Glen.
harp which tuned silyery string,
And sang in elm-environed halls,
Forgot the key that erst would bring
Enchantment while the twilight falls;
The hand that snatched the wizards art
Its cunning lost, refused its part.
Dull was the Poets ear to sound,
And weak the vision of his eye;
The affairs which were smoking round
Were setting in an evening sky;
A genial sky it long had been,
Circling Winooski's Northern Glen.
His eye alone halls through the mists,
The lowering shadows, here SO dark,
The fecky morn; unmoored so drifts
Outward to sea his night-veiled barque;
And through the dusky hall rang then,
Farewell, farewell, o Northern Glen.
The morning came, no sound of bell
Tolled off the years which crowned the dead
As one asleep he lay, and well,
With vases blooming by his head:
His mute harp wreathed, encased the pen
That stirred Winooski's Northern Glen.
Twas SO he choose: no bell should dole
A sorrow through the quiet dell.
The harp, now silent-how console
The day, or WOO the drowsy shell
Why seek to mourn, or murmur when
The Bard would sleep, o Northern Glen
The sun waxed low, a twilight crept
Again on somber wood and wave;
We bore him sadly, while he slept
To where the new earth showed grave:
There to his rest we laid him then
Where Winooski luls the Northern Glen.
