THE HGGHT OF GOODNESS. Mr.. Sew
ard was a snuff -taker On one occasion
he had made an earnest speech in behalf
of an appropriation to introduce the tel
egraph system of Prof. Morse, when
Mr.. ToOmbs of Georgia, rose to reply, and
made a speech full of personal abuse of
Mr.. Seward. He wrought himself up
in a rage, and lashed about him in a
most aggressive manner. He finished
and took his seat. AS Mr.. Seward rose
from his chair every eye was bent upon
him with the greatest anxiety. With
Caim and measured step, he walked to-
ward Mr.. TOombs. 1t was noticed that
his right hand was underneath the rear
pocket of his coat. There was appre-
hensiOn that he was concealing a pistol,
AMI Mr.. TOombs's friends crowded
around. When Mr. Seward reached
him he drew out his hand, and opening
his snuff-box, politely invited his adver-
sary to take pinch of snuff "My
God :" said Mr.. Toombs, "Mr. Seward,
have you no feelings?" ''Take a
pinch of snuff :" said Mr.. Seward, ''it
will soothe your agitation" He then
returned to has seat, and without any al
lusion to Mr.. Toombs or his speech, made
an argument in favor of his measure.

| OF dealers IN the State in violation of
law. So it is with money, the supply
and demand must regulate its price.
Every ShylOck was in favor of the law
as it now stands, because it creates a
scarcity of money, and enables them to
get their 8 and 10 per cent. on whatever
they have to loan. Our citizens send
their money to Massachusetts to loan,
because there the law was favorable, and
we are going to Massachusetts and hir-
ing that same money and paying brokers
for transacting the business. He said
that all parties in Massachusetts-b0
the lender and the bOrrower-were sat
isfied with the law in that State. and he
hoped this State would follow the exam
pie of Massachusetts.
Mr.. WhitcOmb of Ludlow, said he
asked the passage of this bill as a bor-
rover and not as a lender, believing that
those who are not engaged in develop
ing the resources Of the State would be
benefited and in that it would create a
home maeket for farm products it would
benefit the farmers The nearer tOgeth-
er we can bring the producers and con-
sumers, the greater the benefit to both,
and he believed this bill would tend to
Just that condition of affairs Men can
afford to pay larger rate of interest
than six per cent, and we should allow
them to pay it, and not restrict them.
He agreed with Mr.. Butterticld that the
price of money should be regulated Ivy

times when there is a stringpncV in the
money market, and we should allow men

| Senator Powers said the argument that

was the very reason why Justices should
not be given the additional power of
sending boys to the Reform School. He
gave an instance of a Justice sending a
| boy to the Reform School for eight

of age, for stealing forty cents worth of
candy. His opinion of justices in gen
eral was further given.
Senator Scott said it would do no good
to fine the parents, as most Of those who
do not compel their children to attend

with.

The epidemic among horses IS pre-
vnilinc here 10 considerable extent.
although there are no cases Of death re
ported as vet. Every horse at the stable
Of the Ludlow House. and at Mr.. Tar
bells livery stable are on the sick list,
besides more or less at other stables
The disease does not seem to assume a
very malignant type here at present, and
with good care and proper treatment in
it's iuCiDiCnt stages, we may hope for NO
serious results. We are often truthfullv
told that 1.-THE world moves, but surely
if all the horses were unable to do their
part to make it, it would very much
weaken the statement, as the inertia of
affairs in the business world has testified
since the epidemic appeared.

Books have recently been missed
from some of our places of worship,

part of some of our citizens, suspicion
rested on French family employed in

the guilty party. AS they were leaving

Sheriff Stinson was at the depot in sea-
son to overhaul two large trunks, in
which he found about 300 volumes of

good books found, what pity the fam
lily could not derive some practical bene-
fit by a course of religious reading and

ITE VALLEY LEAsE.-Ihe kTaLCMElI
which we copied last week from the
Springfield Republican, TO the effect that
the managers Of the Vermont Central
Railroad obtained last year a twenty
years renewal Of their lease Of the Yer
mont Valley road, is pronounced incor-
rect. Such a renewal was authorized
by the Directors Of the Valley road, but
the lease was never made out. and the
stockholders have since forbidden such
action. It's therefore untrue that any
body has been ''taken down" in their ef-
forts TO release the road from the con-
troll of the Vermont Central. A change
in the management is not, however, to
be looked for immediately.-BrattLeJ

To CLEAN PAINT.-Use but little wa
ter at time; keep it warm and clean
by changing often. A flannel cloth is
better than cotton. Be careful of soap.
Put little soap or skim-milk in the wa
ter, and add soap to the cloth when need
ed. A sharp piece of wood is indispensi-
bic for the corners, the point will become
like paint brush. A saucer of sifted
ashes used where the paint is badly
smoked or fly speck are thick, is better
than soap. Wipe last with a clean wet
towel, and don't spill drop of water.
Never put soap on glass until it is well
rinsed, which can never be the case with
windows; wash off dirt with clean
warm water and dry /; then with paste
of whiting and water, and with little
cloth, place little in the center of each
pane. With another cloth rinse over
the glass: next rub off with dry cloth
till the window shines like crystal.
