Out of Town Notes.
WEST RUTLAND.

This part of Rutland county lyins
| in the course of the recent storms, it j,
unnecessary to announce that it has beer
very wet here lately.
The "potato rot is announced, a:
one of the consequent misfortunes at
| tending the frequent wetness over here
Some five tons of hay belonging &c
| G.. O'Brien, harvested on the flat last
| Saturday, is completely surrounded by
| the watery element, and if this weather
| continues it cannot be secured until the
| pond freezes over.
A Glee Glib has been formed in our
midst, under the leadership of Mr.. b.
| Kelley, to sing the virtues of Grant and
| Wilson, and the shortcomings of the
other party. If immense vocal ability
| and grand declamative energy, etc, etc,
| can stir up dormant sensibilities to vote
for ''the coming man, Mr.. X will rival
Horace Greeley or ''any other man, y
| in making converts.
We gladly welcome J. Z. NJ. back
to our pleasant literary circle, from his
new field of observation. We hope he
will never become so low spirited as to
lose the lofty enthusiasm of excelsior"
but be so ubiquitous that he can tell The
HERALD readers, when the sun and
moon shine in Rutland as wellas in Chit
tenden county.
An excursion from here visited Sa-
ratoga on the 10th. The President was
not there, but everybody else was, and
everything in the way of virtuous amuse-
ment, too, so the VermOnters event
in"
We are to have two United States
banners with thirteen stripes and thirty
seven stars, with this little variety-on
one a white piece of cotton will be fast
9ned, containing the names of Grant
and Wilson, and on the other a white
piece of cotton labelled Greeley and
Brown. Now the homeliest part of
these banners will cause an honest cha
peau to raise gracefully on its owners
head, or Ujce gersG, a shrek of eXecratiOn
from its owners throat. In the mean
time everybody can't help admiring the
banners.I sIsn't it funny?
On Tuesday, the Goth inst, st.
Bridgets choir have their annual ride
picnic to Lake Bomoseen.
William MOghan, the young man,
whose sad death was described in the
morning HERALD of Friday, was well
known here for many years, as a person
strictly temperate in habits, and highly
respected by a wide circle of friends for
his quiet, unassuming and gentlemanly
character. His most intimate acquaint-
ances are at a loss to surmise the CIR
cumstances which led to his fearful
death
"A Drummer, stationed at the Bo-
moseen House, Castleton, who kindly
furnished us a sensational catastrophe,
purpOrting to have befallen Wallingford
lately, has our thanks. We have re-
served the sensation for Wild oats, and
absolve Drummer from making him.

KmPATRICK.-The New York Star, a
Greeley and Brown Democratic paper,
thus speaks of Gen. Fitzpatrick in al
luding to his suit against the New York
Times for libel
Fitzpatrick seems to be dirty kind of
person after all. His boosted roasting of
the editor of the Times was hosh, and
worse than that, it was brag. The grand
jury found an indictment against the
editor, but somebody had ''infuence"
sufficient to keep it back Kipatrick's
friends, lawyers and relatives concluded
that he must not 90 on with the matter,
and we imagine their heads were level.
The editor is indicated, and the spOuter
is in a mighty bad plight.

MONTPELIER Greeley party
threw fine flag to the breeze at Mont
pelier, at o'clock Wednesday evening,
in the presence of about two hundred
spectators. Speeches were made by G..
n. Brigham, Geo. L. Fisk and others.
Faint cheers greeted the flag, but the en-
thusiasm was not marked. The band
made little tour just before the raising
to gather recruits, but not a man fell in.
The two marshals who attended them
were the only persons in the procession
as it came TO the speakers stand. No
''tidal wave" yet.

CAssIUs NJ. CLAWS RECoRD.-Thc
State Department has some official re-
ords relative to the official conduct Of
Cassius NJ. Clay, of Kentucky, while
Minister of Russia, which would throw
some light on that ardent reformer, if
they would bear publication. The doc
uments were originally sent by Russian
citizens to Congress by way of a menu
orial, but were not received by that
body, because of the foreign residence of
the petitioners. Besides official miscon-
duct, these documents allege things in
regard to Clay, anything but compliment
airy to his private life.

THE HEATED TERM-Call it heated or
comet weather, or anything else. Suf-
flee that this most remarkable summer
has produced no weather so remarkable
as this. 1t is terrible, wetting, unbear-
able, and exhausting, men sweat, women
groan, and dear little children have the
rash. Can't something be be done?
Soda water can't save us; lemonade
wont pull us through; peaches are too
small to be any service, and green apples
are full of collie; fans are a nuisance.
Mean while the mercury goes it in the
nineties, and shirt collars are on a
strike.

To SMoKERs.-M G. Marsh, Esq,
Higginsville, Oneida county, n. Y. an
excessive smoker OF tobacco, has lost
his memory, so that he can no longer
transact business. A friend who hands
us this, desires US to say that thousands
of decent people who are insulted daily
in cars hotels, and on the street by the
buffers of tobacco smoke, would be glad
if the whole of them should lose so much
of their memory as to cause them to put
the FIRE end in their mouths every time.

rHE New POSTAL LAw.-The siyan-
tages to be derived through the rev
postal law, which came into force on
the first Of July, are not yet thoroughly
understood by the general public. By
this law packages Of dry goods and other
merchandise, not exceeding twelve
ounces in weight, can be mailed
TO any part of the United States
at charge Of two cents for even two
ounces or fraction. 1t is a severe blow
to the express companies who demand
large rates for the Transmission of a
small package, however small for any
distance, while the post Office will for
ward twelve ounce package to San
Francisco for twelve cents.

stephen }. Meany's Second Appear.

We, the writer of the article that APP
peared in Mondays HERALD, "half lead
er, half report" as Mr.. Meany was
pleased to term it, entitled ''Stephen j.
Meany's Appeal for Votes" attended
the ''Greeley Rally" at the Town Hall,
West Rutland, last evening, to hear and
see Mr. Meany ''show up the wholesale
SANDERS in THE RUTLAND HERALD of
this (Monday) morning" Here let us
say, at the outset, that we regret that
we have not time or space, this morning,
to go through with Mr.. Meany's ''bitter,
personal, scurrilous and scandalous' re-
marks, in detail, and reply to them, par
agraph by paragraph, as, perhaps, it is
due to ourself that we should do, but
that, on the contrary, we must be con-
tent with only brief reply. We will
also further say, that Mr.. Meany is mis-
informed, if he ever was so informed,
that the head of THE HERALD did not
know of and did not approve Of the ar
ticle Such is not the fact. The con-
trary thereof is true.
Mr.. Meanv may be considered a gen
tlcman, in some circles; most certainly
his speech, last evening, was not that of
a gentleman, and will not convince the
intelligent citizens Of this community
that he is entitled to that designation.
neither will it be taken as good argu-
ment in political campaign. He may
consider the use of such language ''lie,"
liar" base, false inventions" and so
on ad jnfnjtum, as argument or refuta
tion-we do not-neither do we believe
that Rutland voters do or will.
We assert, without fear of truthful
contradiction, that everything contained
in our article, of Monday, ascribed to
Mr.. Meany as part or the sentiment
of his speech, delivered Saturday even
ing. was true and correct. Such Ian
guage was used. such statements were
made, Mr.. Meany to the contrary not
withstanding. We, certainly, are not
at fault because Mr.. Meany, in a speech,
shows himself grossly misinformed, or

The concert given by the celebrated
Mendelssohn Quintet Club, assisted by
Boston's favorite vocalist, Mrs. H. NJ.

afing class Of Middlebury College, on
the 18th of August, was a success in
every respect, Notwithstanding the op.

tic. Mrs Smith was in excellent voice
and never sang more delightful than on
this occasion her rendition of the most
difficult English song, entitled ''Lo, the
gentle lark" have never heard equal
led, the trills and chromatic passages
were executed IN manner thoroughly
artistic; the performance of this song
was greatly enhanced by Mr. Heindle's
charming flute accompaniment. Mrs.
Smiths simple, unaffected appearance
on the stage lends an additional charm
to her superb soprano voice, the audi
ence testified their delight by encoring
her very appearance. The Quintet
Club gave excellent satisfaction and re-
ceived a generous share of applause;
Messrs Heindle, Schurtzo and Ryan be-
ing encored. Competent judges, resld-
ing in Middlebury, consider this concert
the best given for several years.

siastic meeting of Republicans was held
at St. Johnsbury, Friday afternoon, to
ratify the nomination of Grant and Will
son, and to throw to the breeze a new
and elegant flag, under the direction of
the Grant and Wilson Club. The meet

compelled by the rain to adjourn, from
out of doors, to the Town Hall. Ex-
Governor Hartman, from New Hamr-
shire, delivered the address, and the st.

occasion. The meeting was a perfect

St. Peter he would swear and set the
world on fire to make believe the cent
was the biggest. If he was President
he would get some two-cent scheme in
his head like the franking privilege, and
let broad questions on which the happi-
ness and prosperity of the nation depend
90 to the small dogs who hedge in around
the White House. He's narrow, fussy,
prejudiced, vacillating, picayune man. p"

FAIRHAYRN.

The republican caucus for the election
of delegates to the County Convention,
convened on Saturday evening and at
once unanimously voted to re-elect the
delegates to the former convention.
Hon. |. c Allen. Dr. T. Z. Wakefield,
5. Allen, Esq. Everything was harmo-
NOUS and the caucus was in session
hardly five minutes, which is a good IL
lustration of the unanImity of feeling
existing among the republicans of this
town, who are alive and at work.
After the adjournment of the caucus
the Grant and Wilson club was called to
order by their president, Hon, !, Z.
Allen, and letter read from Henry
Clark, Esq, Chairman Of the Republi-
can County Committee, inviting the club
Ia : participation in the Grand Rally, at
Rutland on Tuesday next. 1t was unan-
imOusly voted to accept the invitation,
and J. G. Pitkin, ii. Stannard, and J, ],
Gilbert was appointed a committee TO
secure band and torches, and make all
other necessary arrangements.
AlOnzn Farrar, Esq, of Undertook,
who is visiting in town. was then called
upon and addressed the club at some
length. His remarks. though somewhat
loose and rambling, perhaps served at
short notice, showed lis heart to be in
the right place and met a hearty response
fram the audience.
Do not worry about the Greeley men
in Fairhayen. Their number grows
beautifully less. H"
