Addison county temperance trlends

of meetings have been held in the county
calculated to do great good. Inc nrst
of these was the annual meeting OF the
Addison County Society held in Middle
bury. the next in Cornwall, and the
third in Orwell largely attended by
ladies as we'll as gentlemen. There were
present many of the clergymen OF the
county and all seemed to have come to
the meeting to work. The laymen also,
as should always be the case, were ready
with remarks and suggestions, and with
pledges of aid in all the methods of Ia

HUxLEY's IDEAL. .CHURoH.-T emf
nent man is reported to have said Il
can conceive the existence of an estab-
lished church which should be blessing
to community church in which, week
by week, services should be devoted, not
to the iteration of abstract propositions
in theology, but to the setting before

pure living place in which those who
are weary of the burden OF daily cares

temptation of the higher life which is
/ possible for all, though obtained by sc
few place in which the man OF STRIFE

THE RUTLAND HERALD
The Cincinnati Convention.

The approach of the assembling OF the
disaffected republicans at Cinclnnal
brings the issues directly into discussion
by the people. 1t Is now question OF
doubt how successful it may be, or how
strong its candidates, or what will be
the precise basis Of its platform. Its
direct object is more patent-to over
throw the party in power nnder the
ruise of reforming alleged abuses i'll the
party and in the administration OF Pres
ident Grant. There is great ado about
this Cincinnati Convention, and an at
tempt has been made to hold it in terror
over the republican party as the nucleus
of a great opposition. This is a short
sighted scare-crow. This Convention,
as 1t now appears, can, at the most, be
only the receptacle Of cast off political
rubbish, having little or no power to
consolidate into formidable opposition
from the distracted elements Of which
il is to be cOmposed-there are no bonds
of assimilation between them. The
moment an attempt is made to unite 1t
will be discovered that it contains no
elements having the least affinity. The
only principle, which will be found in
common to all, is Opp0sitionto President
Grant. There can be no other bond OF
union between the democracy and his
personal enemies, so far as principles
are concerned, the democrats, if they
have any, are hopelessly divided. The
passivists, the new departure men, the
the copperheads, the State sovereignty
advocates, the Ku Klux, the free trad
ers, the proteCtionists-these are all
found in the democratic ranks. How
can men with republicanism in thell
hearts NIX with such a Heterogeneous
and incongruous mass How can the
labor reformers, the working men, unite
with party that opposed the Homestead
act denounced emancipation and the
renresrntatives Of which vote almost
solidlv against the recognition OF the
eicht hour law? ? How are the revenue
reformers and tariff men to come to-
petbnr9 How shall they combine gen
eral amnesty, the protection of the citi
zen in ali his rights and the equality be
fore the law without distinction OF race
color or previous condition2 What will
the friends Of the Union do with the in
famous war record of the democracy
When these clements can be brough
into harmony, then the proposed Cincin
natl Convention will be a success, ant
not until then, and we believe the mil
lenium nearer at hand than such
union.

A BIG LOTTERY SwINDLE BROKEN Up.
For some little time the people of
Berkshire county, Mass, have been
duped by party of three men, who are
New Workers. They have been, oper-
ating in the city of Worcester, but so
thin were their transactions and so
greatly were the people swindled, they
had orders, very plain, to leave. They
did so, and then next appeared at North
Adams. Their thieving business was
suddenly stopped there by State Con
stables IL. G. Kay and Pease, on the
9th ult., and lottery goods consisting of
pictures, silver ware, etc, to the value
of $4,000, were captured. The parties
arrested as connected with this were

George w. Clark. They are now helc
for trial at the July term of the Superior
Court. The operators slammed per

Formation of Library Corpora
tiOns.

-Throuch the courtesy of DR.. Gold |
fsmith we are favored with the act |
which has Just passed the Massachusetts
legislature for the formation of library
corporations. AS the formation OF
public library is now being considered
by several of our leading citizens, the
publication of its main features which is
very simple may prove useful, and a
corporation can be easily organized un-
der the general laws of Vermont on
similar basis.
Any three or more persons associated
together by written agreement, and COM
rplyinr with certain provisions relating
to corporations in general, may be con-
stituted library corporation, and en-
powered to hold read and personal es-
tate and provided, moreover, that such
CORPORATION shall allow the inhabitants
of the city or town, in which it is lOcat-
ed, free access to its library, annual ap-
propriations may be made to its support
by such city or town.
The tendency of such enactments in
States will be to multiply public libraries
throughout communities, affording new
and great facilities for free reading.
While it is not proposed, as we under
stand it, in the formation of public
library in Rutland to call on the town
for aid, at least, in its founding, get
under our statutes a town has a right to
establish library by the appropriation
of money. Yet after it's permanent es-
tablishmcnt it would be just and proper
for the town to aid it by an appropria-
ton of an annual sum of money for its
maintenance. A town which appropri-
ates thousands of dollars for distinctive
ly educational interests, will find an an
nual appropriation of few hundred
dollars will suffice for the establishment
and support of such public library as
shall contribute quite as powerfully as
the school to the education of the peo-
pie. Where there are public libraries
and reading rooms their general ignor-
ance becomes impossible and crime is
lessened. An appropriation of only 9
few cents per capita would suffice tc
make such knowledge as can be got
from books and papers, as free as watel
in any of our towns A good public
library is only second to churches anC
schools as an inducement to residents.

Corn AS FUEL.-Mr. H. T.

lies he is acquainted with are
burning corn. They say it does
not pay to haul corn twenty
miles and sell for fifteen cents
a buShel. Some say that corn
makes a hotter fire than elm
knots. The fuel problem is one
OF the most serious Nebraska
farmers have to solve, and it is
this year solving itself. MANY
think corn is the cheapest fuel,
Others believe it is the best. and
some can get no other. More
summer fires are kept up by
corn cobs than by any other
article. Some feel that it is a
sin to burn corn; Others inquire.
how about making it into

Game is getting so numer-
Gus in this vicinity that it can
be found in droves and herds
bold enough to charge Oh
crowds of huntsrnen. One of
our townsmen, d very enthusi-
astic and valiant hunter, while
out in company with a party on
a hunting expedition, a few
days ago, was assailed by a
bunch of five or six large deer,
and with the courage of a
Spartan, he stood his ground,
discharging several volleys of
"blUe whiStlers" into their
front, but not disturbing their
course in the least, as they
passed on triumphantly with
whole skins. We suppose he
must have been laboring under
a mental excitement, for if he
had given his old faithful
weapon half a showing, it
would have played sad havoc
with one or two at any rate. If
our hunters DONE get to be
more etfectual than this, we will
have to call on Warmoth'S Con-
stabulary and Metropolitan
forces to protect the town from
the invasion of wild beast in
a short while.
