LBGISL.TTIJ.B I.vV.RsTIG.BTIO.y,

The Boston Traveller of Oct. 10Th con-
tanned an article charging certain members
of our Legislature with receiving brides
from the managers of the Vermont Central
and Vermont and Canada roads, for the
purpose of influencing legislation. To
show how cheap legislation is in this State
the Traveller prints the bill OF J. ID. Hatch
the burlington lobbyist, against the above
corporations, for work done in 1869. Hatch
in this bill specifies the amount paid to
certain persons: w. G. Veazey, W. NJ.
Pingry, p. X. Gleed, Geo. n. Dale, j. f..
Dickerman, @. W. Hendee, $50 each X.
Haskins and Ii. ii. Powers, SIS each j..
w. Stewart, 500. At that time, Hendee
was lieutenant governor and president OF
the Senate; Pingry, Dale and Dickerman
were senators, and Gleed member of the
House, while Stewart was governor. Yea
zey and Haskins were not then members.
Tho commotion occasioned at Montpelier
by the publication of the Travellers article
has resulted in the appointment of a com
mittee Of investigation with power to send
for persons and papers. Probably no one
believes the parties named guilty of brib-
cry, and yet the grave character of the
charge would seem to render an investiga.
ton necessary. Mr.. Pingry is the first tC
rise and explain, which he does in ettel
TO the Rutland Herald. He ssys he was
engaged to look after tho interests OF tn,
road in Windsor county, but did not sup
pose this had any reference to his duties a,
a legislator. Ho further says that no meas
ures affecting the road came up during hi
employment of other parties.

On Wednesday, Nov. G, a party of la
dies residing here made n surprise visit to
their Sabbath school teacher, Miss c. A.
Estcrbrook, on the anniversary of her
birthday. Many delicacies Of food had
been prepared by them for the occasion,
prominent among which was the birthday
cake, rich in composition of good things
and tastefully ornamented, with flowers and
cunning devices. Arrived at their destin-
alton, the tables we're spread, and gala
time followed in the enjoyment of rich
rcpast and enivened conversation. But
the main feature of the surprise was the
presentation of their portraits taken in one
group, to their teacher. 1t is fine picture
and a correct representation of ten mem
bors in her class, taken recently by the ar
fist, Mr.. Howe Of Brattleboro, and is en-
cased in an elegant frame. The following
are the names of those in the group: Mrs.
Leavitt l.. Bond, Mrs. Austin Laughton,
Mrs. Harry ii. Miller, Mrs. John Miller,
Mrs. Horace n. Wilder, Mrs. Timothy
Tmson, Mrs. Hoyt f. Spaulding, Miss Ju-
liza NJ. ormsbee, Mrs. Jason c. Knight and
Mrs. j. Il. Nourse. 1t was pleasant and
agreeable surprise TO Miss Estabrook, and
she returns sincere thanks and well wishes
TO the'fair donors and all who contributed
to the happy entertainment.
Examination day for school teachers
will be Saturday, Nov.L 23d. They are re-
quested to meet at 10 O'Clock A. NJ, in the
school house at Dummerston Centre.
The select school closed on Friday, the
Sth inst, after a session of ten and half
weeks. The term commenced with TWEEN
ty-one pupils and closed with twenty-three.
-Four attended for only half term each,
and the school, numbered twenty five diff
ferent scholars. The attendance was nine
ty per cent, which is far better than many
previous fall school for. ten years past. 1t
has rained from one TO two days each week
OF the term, which will account for many
absences. Only five OF the scholars lived
within distance OF one mile of the school.
The rest had TO come from one to three
miles. There were more good workers in
school than usual, and the advancement
made in study was quite satisfactory. The
session closed on Friday evening with a
spelling school. A few selections wer1
read by the pupils, and an interesting pa
per was edited and read by Misses Mary
Il. Miller and Hattie a. button. The spell
ing was excellent, and the last speller went
down on the word "cymbiform."
