CastletOn.

i spoke last week of Rev. Edwin
Holt as being in town from the West,
instead of Hart, as the typo made it
read. The Harris were once a prominent
family in Castleton, the last member of
which died thirty years since.
AT the last annual meeting of Eagle
Fire Company No. 2, E. H. Armstrong
was elected Foreman; H. L. Clark,
Clerk, and L. W. Preston, Treasurer.
The company is we'll differed and well
manned They drew with their machine,
in about two hours, two hundred hogs
heads of water, by estimate, from Mr..
Caswell's cellar, which had accumulated
there at the breaking up Of winter.
Quite lively sensation was created
on Main street, Tuesday afternoon, by a
runaway horse and a general smash-up
of one of HOadley's new buggies. G. w.
Ball0u and friend took a pleasure ride
and, on their return, while turning the
corner of Main and South street, the
horse became frightened and sprang with
such fury that both men were thrown
from the buggy, the horse continuing on
the race and coming in contact with the
marble steps of the BOmoseen House,

allied. The horse still kept on until he
leapcd Mr.. Francis fence and brought
up in the yard where, after sailing sew
eral times around the house like a mad
horse, he was secured and returned to
his master, Mr.. Ballou. The horse and
both men escaped unhurt.
Decided improvements are in pro-
grcss in and around the Methodist par
sOnage. The interior has been painted
and papered, and will also be furnished
with new windows of modern st,le; tho
outside being painted 50 as to correspond
with the dwellings by its side.
Another ancient landmark of sixty
years standing, known as the Enos Mer
rill house. one mile and a half north Of
this village, was wholly DESTROYED by
fire last Saturday morning, between
eight and nine o'clock. The fire took
from a burning chimney. The men
were all away from home and the wind
blew gale at the time quick work was
made of it. The house was insured for
5000 in the Vermont Farmers Mutual,
as was the Drake house, burnt the week
before at Hydeville, for 81, 500
We learned last Saturday night that
CastletOn was considerably h0nOred at
the liberal Republican convention in
Rutland. on that day, by the choice Of
Mr. q. ". Ballou, as secretary of the
meeting, and Henry l.. Clark as delegate
to the CINCINNATI convention. 1t had not
been known prior to this that there was
a Republican resident Of the town OPP
posed to the denomination or reelection
Of General Grant to the presidency.

been said about Poor Dog Tray" who
was caught IN bad company, but Tray
should be excused if he was there unin-
tentionally. If we look at the intention

can laakc bad company. | found my
self this morning in this kind Of bad
company Getting upon the cars at a
border town in Vermont for this place.
my first act was to get the morning HER
AID and there read the proceedings Of
that monster meeting at Rutland on
Saturday and the list of delegates elect
ed to Cincinnati. | looked around, in
surprise, and there beheld the Major and
lockwood. |, of course, asked them if
they were in earnest, if they truly in

you wish to be Postmaster They went
along very quietly until they received
the Albany Argus and there found out
that Grant was a cypher.
If in the mighty upheaving and con-
vulsiOns, that are to take place at Gin
cinnati, the Major or lockwood are
lost, hope the good people of Vermont
will see to it that their wives and chill
dren do not suffer.
Albany l understand had mass con-

elected delegates with power to fill the
list if they could find men to accept.

CrKioU-s STORY. - According 10 ac-
counts from St Petersburg. an encounter
has taken place between Engiishmen and
Frcnchmen in one of the islands Of
Australia, and an officer Of the Russian
navy has mediated between the combat
ants. In the island in question. Rotuma
the English and the French missionaries
have for some time struggled to obtain
the predominance. When the news OF
the termination of the FrancO-German
war reached the island. the Protestant
missionaries proclaimed that Catholicism
had been abolished. The Catholics, on
the other hand, armed their supporters,
many of whom, however, passed over
TO the Protestant religion on hearing the
news The Catholics were expelled
from the Protestant villages. and a ten
days campaign commenced which ended
with an armistice. During the armis-
tice a Russian corvette entered the har-
hOr and the Catholic missionaries APP
piled to its commander Captain NaZi-
moff, for assistance. The captain then
had an interview with the leaders Of
both parties, and, after some discussion,
succeeded in restoring peace.

VERMONT EMGRATION.-The migrate
ry character of the American people is
shown by some facts of the late census.
With the exception Of Nebraska and
Nevada every State reports citizens born
In every other State OF every seven
native born VermOnters three have emf
grated to other States. The total num-
Der of Vermont emigrants is 100000, of
which SO, 900 have halted in New York,
$4,000 have gone to Michigan, $4,000
are domiciled in Illinois, 10000 in Wis
consin, 1000 in Iowa, 5000 in Cincin-
natl and 1000 in California.
As another instance of emigration
South Carolina has sent out 140, 600, of
these 81, 900 went to Georgia, 1000 to
Alabama, 10000 to Mississippi and H.
900 to Texas. The census report cites
these facts to show that the usual ten
dency of emigration is to move along
isothermal lines. ..#....

The public examination of teachers
passed of pleasantly. Eight candidates
worked the questions and all obtained
certificates. Quite number of citizens
were present and although written eX-
animation cannot interest the public like
an oral one. yet their presence indicated
their good desires and eXerted a favor
able influence in behalf Of our free in
StitutiOns of learning. Prof. Johnson.
Prof. White and II. Hopkins, Esq. made
interesting and profitable remarks.
AS we are entering upon another
educational year it is most earnestly de-
sired that parents and guardians should
evincc an increase of interest for the
mental and moral culture of those COM
imparting good advice and heartily CO.
operating with their teachers. In this
way they will contribute something in
favor of an intelligent people and a per
mancnt Republic. During the recent
FrancO-Prussian war. France was put
hO1'S de cOmbdt. One reason assigned for
this disabled condition is, a want of
general intelligence among the masses.
while Prussia was educated. If this be
so, if knowledge was pittcd against ig-
nOFancf, anu WIN Otner elements OF sue
cess, intelligence gained the vicrory, then
we should make wise improvement of
the lesson taught us.
Considerable activity has been OBJ
served about the depot recently in ship
ping potatoes and lumber. 1t is under
stood that enlarged Accommodations are
to be made at this point, by the railroad
company for their convenience which
will contribute also to that of their mer-
chant patrons. Lux.

Rev. Joseph Steele,


News was received by telegram, on tiie
25th inst, of the sudden death Of Rev
Joseph Steele, al Mobile, where he III
company with his wife was visiting her
brother. Mr. Steele left our VILLAGE last
fall, and the news of his death was the
first intimation his family had of his i'll
ness. afr. S. has lived in Middleburv
about Is years. For many years he re
sided a settled Congregational clergy
man in Castleton. His age is, / am told.
y years. He was one of the best men
ever knew good scholar, a sound di-
vine, an excellent preacher, a consistent
every day christian, whose walk and talk
partOok of heavenly things; he was
model for young men to initiate. He
was cheerful andhappy in his intercourse
with his fellow citizens and alive TO all
measures that tended To advance the
community in morality, education and
religion.
As a preacher he was always impress
i've in his manner, and practical in his
teaching. His public prayers were al
ways marked with great simplicity and
humanity. In the pulpit, or on the
street, he was free from ostentation and
show, possessing a countenance that be-
spoke cheerfulness of spirit and purity
of heart. He labored TO do good both to
the bodies and souls of his fellow men.
and was greatly beloved by all classes of
our citizens. He was a warm friend of
Middlebury College. being a member of
the corporation and ever active to pro-
mote the interests of the institution that
lay so near his heart. He was a safe
counsellor and a trusty guide There
was nothing visionary in his character
He was careful in the adoption of meas
ures to carry out any desirable object.
His aim was to secure the results desired.
He deprecated raShness. Men of his own
age felt that they could rely upon his
sound judgment and uniform discretion
with perfect safety. His motto was to
prove all things, and hold fast to that
which was good. But his work is done.
With him the dangers and trials, the la
bOrs and hardships Of life are past,
and he has entered into rest. Blessed
rest TO the aged christian, to the faith
full, devoted minister of the Lord Jesus
Christ.
He leaves behind the rich legacy of a
well spent life,-better than gold or sill
yer, or houses and lands, for while the
latter frequently cOFrupts and cOTrOdes
the soul, the former ennobles and digni-
fies humanity, making it akin to God and
heaven. CANDOR.

Professionalism in Italy md Cathol.
icism In America.

Sunday lectures are becoming more prom-
add, more interesting also. The Rev. w. G..
Van Meter, who has Just returned from Rome,
where, it is said, he has made arrangements
to open another Howard Mission for the
orphaned Italians, gave an interesting account
last night in the Bedford street Baptist church
of some experiences and incidents of his travels
in Italy. He reioiced in the entry of Victor
Emmanuel into Rome because the Bible went
with him. and now it was to be seen
all over that fair land, Though during the
past eighteen hundred years not single copy
of the Bible was ever printed at Rome, except
through necessity" No one could be more
enthusiastic in praise Of the Roman people
than Mr.. Van Meter. They have awakened to
a new life and hungering and thrstine for
knowledge like a sponge wanting water. But
every pore, he assured his hearers would vet
be filled with the lessons of the Bible-the
return to Italy to prosecute his mission there
and he is making tour of the principal cities
here to awaken an interest among Christians
in his work
Cooper Institute was well filled last night
with an audience gathered to listen to Dr.
Rogers lecture on the past glories of the Cath
Ole Church and her future triumphs. He
maintained that the American government is
founded upon Catholic principles, to Wit
The recognition of citizenship, the separation
of the Church from the State opposition to
slavery and serfdom, unity Of nationalities
and unity of churches. The lecturer also
claimed that the Catholic Church had de-
yeloped the arts and sciences, that she is the
friend of education, and that by her IAN Amer-
can architecture will by and by be built up
and lifted in magnifcence and refinement to
the clouds
