RIrToN.-A few days since a Mr.. Samson
a "~peripatetic vender of notions" was
through our town selling his wares and
one evening stopped and put up for the
night with Mr.. s. B. Howard who had
urgent business causing him to rise early
next morning as also did n young man in
his (Howard's) employ. In due time
Samson arose, paid his bill and departed,
but in the course Of day discovered that
a small roll of valuable cloth (l2a yards
worth $500 per yard) was missing from
his load and feeling sure that it was in
his possession the evening before procured
a search warrant, placed the same in the
hands of Deputy Sheriff Sessions of East
Middlebury who gave Towards premises

covering the propcrty.--Wc have con.

The performances we're usually crafty.
ing successes, and none were by any means
failures. The evidences Of intellectual
power and development exhibited, OF
these occasions, by the young men who
are not long hence, to be leaders among
the people, in religion, education, politict
and science, are not among the least o
the attractions, to intelligent and philan
thropic minds, Of these annual exhibitions
But perhaps more are drawn to them b,
the esthetical part of the entertainment
The music was mostly vocal, and mucI
more pleasing to most of the audienc
than the Old style Of band music woul'
have been. Mrs, Oliver of New Yorl
was the great attraction in this depart
ment, and the audience were not disap
pointed. She pleased them and was en-
cored as usual. Prof. Higley played tn
accompaniment and most happily rem
dered one piece OF instrumental music
The College Quartetto sung one Of thei
humorous college songs and were cncored
The o~rations admit of high commenda
ton as to both rhetoric and logic, Will
the elocutiou was manly and effective
though unpretending, as it should b.
Prof Brainerd is to be congratulated o
the success of these young men in thi
public display of their proficiency in tn
culture OF his department.
There was only one drawback to th
success Of the exhibition. That was th
disturbance created by an attempt on tn
) part Of the Sophomores. to indulge in fu
, for themselves at tho expense Of decenc
and ~propriety. The faculty prompt
! suppressed all demonstrations, by the al
|, of the police and others, SO that the qui,
and orderly attention Of the audience WI
only momentarily disturbed.

ADJOURNMENT OF THE LEGISLA
TURE.

The Fifty-first Legislature of the State
of Maine finally adjourned yesterday,
after session of fifty-eight days-three
days longer than the session of last year.
The amount of business transacted has
been large. 1t has been an industrious
body, careful of the expenditure of the
public money, and free from suspicion of
being actuated by base motives in any of
its legislation.
A large part of the session has been de-
voted to railroad matters. All sections of
the State have presented something in
that line for consideration. Few petition
ers have received all that they asked, but
upon the whole the result is perhaps as
satisfactory as could be obtained where
there were So many conflicting interests.
We trust that the measures adopted and
privileges granted will operate to the ad-
vantage of the State. The consolidation
loan bill was the most important measure
carried. Its effects will be felt beneficial
ly upon our whole railroad system.
The progressive educational movement
has met with head flaw in the repeal of
the county supervisor system. On the
other hand the mill-tax recommendation
of Superintendent Johnson has been
adopted. One is move backward, the
other a move forward, so far as his plans
are concerned. For the present the OPP
ponents of apprenticeship have the ad-
vantage, but their success has been
achieved under such circumstances that
there is reason to expect it may be re-
versed at an early day. Few projects, no
matter how great their utility, go forward
without resistance and rebuffs. The heart
of the people is sound upon the cause of
education they will roll it forward in
spite of opposition. Were it taken for
granted that this step indicates perma-
nent lapse to the old system, or want of
system, the actual friends of education
might be alarmed, but there is no reason
to view it in that light.
The session has been generally pleasant.
Business has been we'll conducted. Able
officers in both branches have pushed the
work forward President Foster and
Speaker ROBBIE have discharged their duties
with honor to themselves. Few long
speeches !have been made, but the
debates have manifested good deal of

The St. Adams (vt.) Messenger closes a
severe review of Mr.. Greely's covert attacks
ON President Grants Administration with the
following pertinent and just observations:
"But while corruption is thing not parti-
san but human and will infest all parties, and
while we cannot expect that w1dom will die
when any party goes down, yet we believe
that there is more wisdom and greater virtue
in the Republican party than in any other
that we have or shall be likely soon to have
of which the present Administration is more
than an average exponent-and hence We be-
lieve it to be the duty of patriotism, incum-
bent upon all, to forego minor considerations,
which always exist to vex men in every party,
and always will, and to strive ON harmonious
~ for the country's veal IL it not strange
that q man who has opposed the secession of
States should now recommend the secession
of men, especially when no scheme is pro-
posed for u better combination? Behold
contrast; when President Grant failed to
annex San Domingo, he said, as he said be-
fore, that he had no policy to enforce against
the will of the people; when Mr.. Greeley
sees that he cannot within the party defeat
those whom he has failed to control, he saws,
as he has never said before, that the party is
of no longer use. Which, of these twain is
the unselfsh patriot?"
