Mrs James Smith, living with her SON
in-law, Silas Gould, at Hydeyille, died very
suddenly, Wednesday, under suspicious cir
cumstances, which led to the arrest of
Gould on the charge of murder. Several
severe bruises were found on her head. She
had had considerable trouble with Gould.
The authorities have not as yet been able to
find any proof against Gould, though he is
thought guilty by all. 1t is reported that
Gould has been released, though the officers
have their eyes on him.

recover those who have fallen victims to intem-
perahce, and to suppress, in every community,
the unlawful sale of intoxicating drinks.
Resolred, That while we still have much to
deplore in looking over the intemperance and
the means of perpetuating II in our State, we
have great cause for encouragement and hope
from the interest and vigorous action taken in
the great reform by many Of the churches and
various temperance organizations.
Resolred, That while we do not seek to COM
pei men to be temperate or religious, by the
power of human law. we rejoice 10 know that
the principle of enforced prohibition is becom-
ing more and more obvious as the settled pollcy
of Vermont, and especially As acknowledged by
the dominant political party of the State, at its
last State Convention; and in the progress
made by the last legislature towards the most
thorough measures for suppressing the com
mon rum traffic.
ResOlced That we heartily cooperate with
the National Temperance Society in petitioning
Congress to enact suitable laws prohibiting the
traffic in intoxicating drinks in the District of
Columbia and in the territories of the United
States.
In the evening, Rev. l.. II Stone read report
of his doings agent for the Society, stating the
number Ofpublic addresses given, and the total
amount collected by him during the year re-
port from the Treasurer. y. Weeks, was read.
stating that no moneys belonging to the Society,
had been placed in his hands during the year.
In explanation, it was stated that. by vote
Of the executive committee, expenditures, to Il
certain amount. had been allowed TO be made
from the collections, also that some further re-
port might be expected through the treasurer,
and the two reports were referred back for com
pletion and publication.
II was voted that the place of holding the
next annual meeting be left 10 be determined
by the executive committee; and the meeting
adjourned.

The Laws of the Session.

We publish this week, such laws, passed
at the late session of the Legislature
as have been designated for that purpose, by
the Secretary of State The whole number
of acts passed is about three hundred, Of
which about one-third are public acts
Over seven hundred bills were introduced,
one-third of which were private and special.
Ii will be seen that but few measures of i'm
portance became laws. and prominent
among which We may place the general
railroad law, and its supplementary act,
authorizing towns to aid in the construction
of railroads within their limits, to an
amount not exceeding eight times their
grand list; the bill in relation to the height
of railroad bridges the new militia act,
being codifcation and re-enactment of the
militia laws, and reducing the active militia
to one regiment; AM the act on the grand
list, requiring a new appraisal quadren-
nially of real estate, the first appraisal being
in 1874.
On the other hand many bills of great
moment and interest failed to command the
approval Of the wisdom and virtue "
Such were the repeal of the usury laws f;
the State Police bill the bill giving State
aid to Norwich University the bill in rela-
ton to Teachers Institutes the.Quinquen-
NAL Valuation bill for the relief of the coun-
ties of Chittenden and Franklin the bill to
tax railroads. and the bill abolishing capt.
tai punishment and to give female tax
payers the right to vote and hold Office in
school district meetings. We submit that
the little accomplished of lasting impor-
lance to the State in this eight weeks Ses-
sion, ought to convince its citizens of the
folly of the biennial. to say nothing Of
the ''one term" system. now being tried
relative to elections, legislative sessions and
legislators.
