Sleigh Ride.

Editor Rutland Herald The people
of Ludlow are evidently intent upon not
having the blues" this winter They
have faith in the words of the philoso-
pher, that ''amuseme1. is healthful for
mind and body" and seem willing to
test the merits of this wise saying. They
believe that some more substantial
amusement should be provided for the
young, than popcorn receptions and
games at ''copen-hagen," and are not
satisfied to allow the old to forget the
pastimes of their younger years.
Last Thursday they gave an evidence
of this by indulging in public sleigh
ride to Chester, (twelye miles, arriving
there in time TO partahe OF q hearty din
ner at the Ingraham House. The after
noon was spent in a very pleasant man
ner, and in the evening goOdly number
of the Chester people were invited to
unite with their Ludlow friends in har-
monizing the occasion. Dancing COM
menced at Z o'clock and continued until
midnight A bountiful supper was pro-
yided by Mr.. Cole, to whom the thanks
of the company were offered for his hos
pitality and spirit of accommodation, -
The best order prevailed and the occas-
ion I think, furnishes an example wor-
thy Of imitation to other towns in and
out of the State T.B.F.

Great Fire i'm Wallingford.

About one o'clock this Monday morn
ing we were awakened from sleep by
wild ringing of an alarm of fire by all
the church and factory bells. On get
ting into the street the whole village was
brightly illuminated by the glare of fire.
It was soon found that the large and
extensive steam tannery of E. Bradford
& Co., was one mass of sparkling and
cracking flames, and too far under
Roadway for any successful attempt to
be made to extinguish them and before
four a. H., the whole building was re-
duced to smouldering ruins. By the
heroic efforts of our citizens the confa-
grafton was confined to the tannery
building, so the Office and other adjoin-
ing building, and two piles containg 200
cords of bark were saved.
1t was providential that there was but
little wind. Had there been brisk
breeze several other buildings would
have gone down. AS it was it is the
greatest fire that has occurred in town
for many years.
The total loss was from fifteen to
twenty thousand dollars, on which was
insurance in several, A, No, / COM
panies, amounting to ten thousand dol.
lars.
The fire is supposed to have originated
somewhere about the engine house
They always kept little fire in the fur
mace under the boiler, on Sunday to
keep the inside of the building warm
As they keep no Waterman, the confa-
grafton was entirely beyond help or con-
troll when discovered.
The Messrs. Bradford receive the
hearty sympathy of all their many friends
here, in this their day Of calamity. This
is not the first time they have passed
through the fire." Sixteen years ago
this same property was was completely
destroyed by the fire tiend."
The firm of f. H. Bradford & Co.,
has always been one OF the most solid
and enterprising business houses in the
town, or State, and in all probability
not many months will elapse before
their establishment will be on a war
footing" again. 1t is earnestly hoped
that this may be the case, as many hands
are thrown out of employment by the
disaster T.

was voted to defray the incidental cX-

The novelty Of a meeting of the fat
men Of the county, at the Bardwell
House, in Rutland, has caused consider
able talk and laugh with us. Doubtless
our town will be largely, or hugely, rep
resented on that fleshy occasion, Eas it
contains some twelve or fifteen men,
who weigh more than two hundred
pounds. among whom are two who
weigh $50 pounds each, and one that
weighs tri1e over three hundred. How
does this town compare with others in
the county for fat men
We read in THE HERALD. not long
since, that houses enough had been built
in St. Adams, the last season, to make
quite a village and a Burlington man
told us, that more buildings were erected
in that city last summer than there are
in this entire village therefore we
judge that the north part of the State is
''up and coming" or up and going" as
far as business and building is concern
ed.
The following towns were repre-
scented by medical men at DR.. Perkins

Charles Jackman and Henry Arm
strong are about commencing the mer-
camille business at Vergennes, Arm
strong was member of the late firm of

recently teller in the Castleton National
Bank. They have cash capital, as well
as business capacity, to back themselves
up with.

Addison Bates, while shaving shin
giles, on the 9th inst, drew his shave
across his leg, just below the knee, in
tlicting an ugly cash and disabling him
entirely from labor.
Mr.. Griffin, the popular principal Of
Black River Academy, has over fifty
pupils in his school for the winter term,
and is meeting with that good degree Of
success which his talents, industry and
fitness as a teacher so much deserves.
1t is now the wood and lumberman's
harvest season. Just snow enough for
their business-and teamsters are not
slow in improving it.
AT the late December term of
Windsor County Court at Woodstock,
the States Attorney and Grand Jury did
a healthy business for Ludlow liquor
dealers-more especially for the drink
ers-and we learn that our citizens are
following upon the same track with an
addition of the search and seizure clause
(claws) of the law In the meantime,
public meetings are held and the moral
suasion side of the question is agitated,
evidently with good results.
AT social gathering recently held
in Black River Valley, we are told and
believe that more than one young man
carried liquor, engaged rooms at the ho-
tel, treated" associates SO freely, that
some were too drunk to go home alone,
and some who had "waited" on their
swecthearts to the dance. were toomuch
whisky bound to allow them to ''go
home with the girls in the morning. -
Is such conduct comnendable? Ought
to be countenanced.

Port Henry.

The long expected course of lectures
and entertainments at Port Henry, n
Y, was opened last Wednesday evening,
with what we called a rare treat. Col.
Robert King gave us one of his Even
ings with Shakespeare, reciting some
of the most stirring scenes from the
tragedies of Hamlet" and "Othello, "
much to the enjoyment of an audi
ence comprising many of our best citi-
zeng. We have heard none who were
present speak of the reCitatiOns but to
praise them. Certainly any one who
once listens to Col Kings characters
tic renderings of the Bard of Avon,
must at once appreciate the great adyan-
tage of such Rotations over mere read
ings from desk. AS he stood alone on
the empty platform, assuming the words
and manner of the different characters,
his tones of voice and his attitude chang
ing rapidly, and yet Distinctly, the listen
er was fairly lifted out of his surround
ings and carried, in imagination, into
the very presence of persons represent
ed; so that to many who never looked
into Shakespeare, the Prince of Den
mark and his royal fathers ghost; the
noble Moor Othello and his willy, treach-
Gus follower, Iago, will hereafter seem
like old acquaintance, of whom they
will gladly learn more by apersonal read
ing of the plays, while all lovers of
Shakespeare will enjoy him the better
for the Interpretation which Col. King
has given them of these his plays.
If any one wants to secure a delight
full and profitable entertainment, that
will set mind and imagination to work
briskly, let them send for Robert King,
whose charges, by the way, are lower
than some of our public reader.
The irrepressible Geo. Francis Train
is expected to fill the next appointment
of this course, on Saturday, January Goth,
and would probably fill hall twice as
large as ours. Perhaps the peoples
candidate for the next President of
America, may take stand on the now
firm surface of Lake Champlain, and
speak to two States at once. BETH.

Reflections.

In business and hustle, in labor and strife,
How falsely men view the true purpose of
How oft cen the Christian from duty will
swerve
In vain1y attempting two masters to serve!
He claims to love Christ, has His banner
unfurled,
Yet marches along with the god Of this
world,
Entirely forgetting the things of most
worth
In seeking the riches and honors of earth.
A man who is faithful and true TO His
cause
Who formed men to love Him and honor
His1aws,-
Who'll reap in due time that most ample
reward
OF Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord
Is far less esteemed than one feeble in
sense
Provided he's rich and can favor5 dis
pense,-
Than one who can faWn In true syeophant
style,
And while he's decetving canllook up and
smile.
And beautiful thoughts that are Hastily
dressed,
In language that's neatly and chastely ex-
pressed
Fen Gods Holy Word, which is true as
Himself,
And far more enduring than glittering pelt
That lures its poor victims from duty
astray,
Delights for moment then passes away
No beauty or value to those can unfold,
Who're dazzled and charmed by the glitter
of gold.

ILLINOIS RALBoADs-The reportof the
railroad commissioners Of Illinois, just
laid before the Legislature, shows that
that State has more miles of railway
than any other in the Union. On the
LIST of December last, there were 5, 400
miles in operation and 1,708 in process
of construction. The roads in process of
construction, it is shown, are being built
with the proceeds of town and county
subscriptions and first mortgage bonds,
without bona Jide stock-the stock being
a gratuity to the projectors Of the road.
This process of watering stock before il
is issued is not confined TO Illinois, but
prevails extensively all over the West.
The yiciousness of the system and its i'll
effects upon the community are proper
ly commented on by the commissioners.
The condition of the older roads of the
State is pronounced to be excellent.

any rate the letters are hardly such as
