ing the erection of two marble mills in

Il. Cooks law office, Wednesday after
noon. 1t was the case of a young man
arraigned before G. Spencer, Esq, for
with a pistol, on a man at Hydeville
Mr.. Cook appeared in behalf of the
State, and II. G. Wood for the respond
ent. Mr.. Wood failed to convince the
COnrt that his client was not under the
influence of strong drink, or that the
assault was UNSUITABLE, therefore, the
young man was fined twenty dollars for
the assault and five dollars for intoxica-
ton The fines and cost amounted to
thirty-ive or forty dollars.
Our anticipations were not realized, to
the letter, on the recent excursion to
old I'll, because we were not so fOrtu-
nate as to gain an introduction to our
local brother scribes, Excelsior" and
Zero" of THE HERALD. We had an
eye on them, which was some satisfac-
ton, if we did get deluged with rain.
In another respect our expectations
were more than realized, for we saw
j f~Tfa fll
| from four different States, four cities,
| five towns in New York and eleven
towns in Vermont. We shall always
remember Field Day" at TicOnderOga
1t seems wOndrOus strange to me
| that a Vermont man, and minister at
| that, could nerve himself up to the
| point and rise in a State Temperance
convention, like the one at Saratoga,
| last week, and make the broad declaca-
! ton that the prOhibitOry liquor law OF
| Vermont was or is a failure. No won
! der that such a sweeping remark should
| call out comment from others in the
| convention Such an assertion cannot
| be maintained for moment. The pro
| hibitOry policy is a fixed fact, in the
! Green Mountain State; public opinion
| has been, for years, and is to-day, being
| educated to it. Propose tOrcpeal it, and
! see how you will come out. The law is
no more a failure than is any other an
| actment on our statute books. The law
suffers more at the hands Of its professed
| friends than from any other source.
The interest in the Good Samaritan
work continues undated. The eleventh
meeting of the series was held at the
Methodist church, last Sunday night,
and was fully attended, the house being
| well filled. 4 stirring address was read
! by Rev Mr. Farrar, entitled ''Temper-
ancc Call to Young Men, This call
was of the right ring, and Vibrated
! through the heart of every nearer,
| young and old. as was indicated by re-
| marks from different members of the
society. After the reading of the paper,
! Mr. f. took occasion to remark, in his
| address, that temperance was not
! dead letter, but that it was a live issue,
| and demanded the attention of the
! young men of this age Of the world.
