sisting of large gatheringof the friends

some very interesting and appropriate re-

good will, they brought with them a
large number of elegant and costly pres

Especial correspondence Rutland Herald
letter from the Capital.
MONTPELIER, Oct.
pRoGREss or LEGIsLAT

PROGRESS OF LEGISLATION.
As the legislature is now =" Hamlet"
at the Capital, letter from the . seat
of government" would be nothing with
that leading character left out. The
second week of the session virtually
ended Thursday afternoon, although
coteual2y it continued till Friday after
noon, no quorum being present in either
branch on the last named day. But the
record made to date is by no means a
meagre one. Besides completing the
machinery for legislative business, APP
pointing several special committees and
officializing the election OF County and
Probate officers, upwards of fifty bills
have been read and referred III the
House, and twedty-two or three in the
Senate This is about the general ave-
rage for the first two weeks, for several
past sessions. We say this for the en-
couragement of the many new menu
bcrs who cannot yet help being impress
ed that the business of the session moves
very slowly, for the reason that SO few
hours arc devoted TO legislative sittings.
| But they will soon learn that the work
goes on the fastest when the various
committees, by themselves, are consid
ering,what has been referred to them,
and the average legislator, whose func-
| ton it is to simply record his vote for or
against measure is left to pursue his
own ways and reflections, out of session
! The conscientious member from the
/ town where even the 'ten hour rule
/ does not prevail, but where = from sun
/ to sun constitutes days work, will
soon learn TO feel that he is not cheating
| his constituents by ''short time, after
seeing, as he will, that the sessions are
only the recitation hours for which most
| of the time is required outside in prepa-
ration.
There are no very important bills yet
introduced, beyond those referred to in
our last letter, amendments to old laws
constituting large per cent. The
s'death penalty" bill, as it is called, is
probably better calculated to draw the
oratorical pin of the General Assembly
and resolve it into lyceum than any
other vet introduced, and with the Hen

MONTPELIER RAILROADS.

directors of the Montpelier 81 Wells
River railroad, that the track-laying on
this line will commence at once, and II
the weather continues favorable, it is
hoped to complete the road as far as
Plainfield this fall. Application for a
charter for the Montpelier & Black Riy-
er Valley railroad, by two routes, over
the southern portion of the line, Is now
before the Legislature, the preliminary
SURVEYS having been nearly completed,
and the enterprise declared feasible
when the money is raised.
The town has been nearly destitute OF
members of the General Assembly over
Sunday, as though there was no such IN
stitution in existence, nor will the full
power and presence which assembled

felt again before Tuesday morning.

The Horse n Noble Amman.

Probably no fact is better established
than that "the horse is a noble animal. :"
II is an aphorism enforced by frequent
repetition, and the horse is eulogized in
prose and verse, and men begin to exalt
the noble animal in more practical
way. Often as much care is given TO
quadurpedal as to human culture-some
times good deal more. The pedigree
of a horse is of vastly more consequence
than the pedigree of man in this demo-
cratic country. and the eagerness of its
study is equalled only by the anxious
pride with which representations of the
nobility in the old world trace the gene
illogical record of their ancestors. When
we consider the time, money and pa
thence expended in breeding and training
! in the providing and keeping of teams

BRANDON MARNET DAY.

The regular meeting of the Farm
ers' and Mechanics Club was held at
their room on Friday evening the 18th
inst. z June. Eice-President in the
Chair.
The question under discussion was one
of vital Importance t. the farmer and
trader, and indeed, the entire population
of the town of Brandon, and strong
hopes were entertained that it might re-
suit in important practical results. 1t
was on the eXpediency of establishing
public market in Brandon. All were
agreed on the necessity of the move
ment, and the entire lack of any market
where the farmers of Brandon and the
neighboring towns could sell their pro-
duce for cash, or in many cases even for
barter, and it was forcibly shown that
Brandon was very much behind its age
in this respect, and that unless something
was done and done speedily, much of
the trade that has been done in Brandon
and naturally belongs here, would go
directed to Middlebury and other towns
having better market.
The question was opened by Mr.. Geo.
Briggs, who urged the Importance of the
movement, and instanced Vergennes and
illututUuIg DIS suOWlIg l1c. dillOuut u
business done there in comparison with
that done in Brandon, which was much
greater In the mercantile line in proper
ton to the population. He would, how
ever, he said, leave the practical sugges-
tions to those so much more posted on
the subject.
He was followed by Col. Merritt, Mr..
Barnes, Ellis and n. I. SpIague, Jr.,
and Col. Hamilton.
Col. Merritt said he knew no town in
the State which had so poor accommo-
dations for disposing of the farm pro-
ducts as Brandon, and that tub of good
butter would often glut the market. He
believed certain days should be market
days and nothing should be sold on any
other day. That Brandon was the natu-
raj outlet for large number of towns,
and with good market much of the
now. went to other towns

Your correspondent acknowledges the
kindly attention paid himby your ''local''
at Castleton, a gentleman who knows
well how to use the Sudgite5' IN mode,
when referring to the errors or faults of
others. LET the righteous smite me;
it shall be an excellent oil. "
Having achieved the cheap notoriety
which is inseparable from a sensation
al paragraph, the writer's ambition
ought to be sufficiently satisfied to pre-
clude any further ventures in that direc-
ton. Your correspondent would not
have known that he was afflicted with
that particular weakness of purpose, had
not his reprover solved the question of
motives; a thing which sometimes puz-
zles the deepest philosophy. He thanks
the local" for furnishing him fresh
illustration of the fact that we do not
see ourselves as others see us.
As to the facts i'll the case, your cor
respondent accepts the version given by
''B. w b., land stands corrected. He
will say, further, that he has taken pains
to sift the matter, and not only acquits
the "Fairhaven man" of any wrong in
tention, but accredits him with right in
tentions. He finds only one questionable
point, and that Is, as to what degree of
violence may lawfully be used in Selling
IA. runaway, for whose care and safe
keeping man is responsible. He might
differ with the responsible party; but
in given case, the party must act upon
his own Judgment, as your correspond
ent would have to act upon his, under
similar circumstances. An error of

gotten.
Your correspondent reproaches him
self for not adhering to an old rule
which he learned in his school-boy days
and resolved should govern him through
life; ''Altdi dlteram aartena." Had he
not lost sight of it for the moment, he
would have been kept from inf1icting or
suffering a sensational spasm.
Many years ago a pastor at Manches-
ter, Vt, was visiting family in dis

gan to tell her grievances with another
woman, member of the same church
with herself. Her story ended, she
asked, ''What would you advise me to
do about it?" The reply was, II don't
know much about it; I'm quite deaf. y
The story was repeated, in louder tone,
and was followed by the same question
and answer. Then the lady drew up
close, and spoke in his ear in still
louder tone, ending with the same ques-
ton. II tell you" said the minister, 81

\ bill has been introduced giving the
appointment of Il reporter of decisions
of the Supreme Court to the court itself,
but whether passed, or whether that
office remains elective, as now, it would
be difficult to find a more efficient or
satisfactory reporter than the present
incumbent, Col. Veazey. Mr., Paul of
, Woodstock. and Mr. Rowell OF West
Randolph, are both applicants for the
place, we understand.
The talk of abolishing the Office of
Railroad Commissioner is again renewed,
but as it seems to be very harmless or
nament. and costs the State nothing,
with the exception of few moments
time in electing the official the place
will probably be continued for some
''eood fellow to fill.
The State Reform School at Water
bury has an able management in its pres

change will probably be suggested.
