Rev. A. F. Bailey has been retained
by the Troy Conference of the M. i.
Church, as pastor of the Nj. e. Church
in our village. This will be his third
year with US. He preached last Sabbath
on christian Fellowship" 1t was one
of his best efforts, in thought, and was
delivered with great earnestness and in
broad catholic, christian spirit. May
the Great Head of the Church bless this
sermon to the good of the large congre-
cation who listened so attentiyely to its
utterance.
Preparations are about completed to
once more commence running the forge
at East Middlebury. The business is to
be carried on by Messrs. Lawrence and
Persons.
Union services were held Fast day
In the Congregational church, Rev. Mr.
Hooker preaching stirring sermon on
the deception of the Times" in which
he most effectually showed up the i'm
positions practised upon the people
through fraud and deception by govern
ment officials and men of business in the
various branches thereof. A timely dis
course. Hope it may do good.
News has been received, in Middle
bury, the past week, from our old citi-
zen, George M. Brown, who, with his
family, removed last fall to the West,
that he is not expected to survive long,
having had another attack of paralysis
that rendered him helpless and speech
less. He will be remembered by many
friends in Rutland as having lived there,
and for some time engaged in the service
of Mr.. Chaffee.
"A Sabbath-school concert of the
school attached to the NJ. E. Church,
took place last evening at the church.
A good attendance prevailed, and much
interest was created by the exercises of
the children and youth. A beautiful
bOquet of flowers was presented to the
superintendent, Prof. Seely, by Miss
Mary Barker, beautiful little girl, six
years old, with short, pretty speech, as
follows: Prof. Seely-Please accept
this bOquet as token of the love we
have for you as our superintendent
The exercises were made up with speak
ing, singing and recitations. Remarks
were made to the school by Heman
Langworthy, j. S. Barker, Harry G.
Langworthy, O. F. Comstock, Rev. A.
Bailey and others, all setting forth the
great Importance of early religious train
ing in the study of the word of God.

SOBVn Records,

Editor Rutland Herah Allow me
to call attention to the habit of many
people of leaving their deeds and other
evidences Of title in the office of the
recording officers Of town, county and
probate records One of the objects to
be secured by having title to real es-
tate put on record is that in case of the
loss Of the records by fire. or otherwise,
they may have their original deed with
the clerks certificate showing it was
duly recorded. If the deed is left with
the records after having been recorded,
and both are destroyed, there is occasion
for much litigation. There is too much
Carelessness in regard to this matter

real estate should be left with the

and AZ, which broke up our Legislature,
and which carried to the grave every
one it touched, until the old fashioned
hemlock sweats were adopted, after
which every case was saved.
Our people sent about twenty-five
miles, and procured hemlock boughs,
and they sent for it from all parts of the
State. There was company here that
was called the 'sHook and Ladder Com
pany," that for weeks did nothing night
and day but go from house to house
giving hemlock sweats, and it saved
every case. Thorough sweating might
do, but there is no mistake about the
hemlock sweats being specific. If you
cannot get it there, can get it twenty
five or thirty miles north of here, and if
the disease does not abate, | will get and
send you box by express.
P. S.-If any of your family should
be aiken, and you cannot get hemlock,
sweat them Thompsonian fashion at

"A large and enthusiastic meeting
was held at HOrseman'S Hall one even

for discussion was the comparative
merits of Fanny Leigh and Gen. Sher-
man, a Columbus horse owned by
Wicker & Co. Both horses were well
represented. The great blower of the
town and others took sides in favor of
Fanny Leigh. while Gen. Sherman was
sustained by IA considerable number of
equally ardent. though somewhat less
bOistrous friends. Powerful arguments
were advanced on both sides. and sup
ported. when necessary, by offers TO
wager incredibly large sums of money.
For time the issue seemed doubtful.
Nothing short of a race for one thou

inevitable consequence. In a short time.
however. the friends Of Fanny Leigh
began TO WAIVER. the greater blower van
ished into empty air, his native element,
others followed and the meeting finally
adjourned, the odds being altogether in
favor of Gen. Sherman. Should any
thing further ensue the readers Of THE

DELEGATES TO PHILADELPHIA
st. Adams Messenger says that there is
some canvassing about the State as to
the men to be chosen to the Philadelphia
Convention. 1t further remarks that it
is of little moment whom we elect so
far as fealty to principle and candidates
is concerned, for all who are thought of
are undoubtedly as true as steel but it
is important that the delegation be one
of dignity, ability and local strength
and IN this view presents the name of
Hon. Julius Converse of Woodstock as
eminently suitable to head the delegation
The Messenger says Every possibly he
may never have thought of it, but we
are sure his choice would be as generally
acceptable rs any that can be made. "
In all of which we agree.
The Montpelier correspondent of the
Boston Journal in recent letter to that
paper says that Hon. John Gregory
Smith is very probable to be selected as
one of the delegates, very proper Sc
lection If he desires it. The same writer
also presents the name of Hon. Paul
Dillingham; as another. We have also
heard the name of Senator Edmunds
prominently mentioned as it has been
customary to select one of our delegates
in Congress to represent us in the Ma
tional Convention. We have also in
this section heard the name of Hon.
Martin G. Everts of Rutland mentioned
as one eminently entitled to be one of
the delegates at large from this section
of the Stete. We suppose however, this
matter will take more complete and
formidable shape within the next ten
days.

RUMORED RAILROAD MOVEMENTS. -
The Manchester Journm of last week
says:
at is reported that the Delaware &
Hudson Canal Company will relay the
track on the old Albany Northern road
bed from Eagle Bridge to Albany, thus
making direct route over their own
road all the way from Rutland to Troy
and Albany. 1t is also said that a short
line will be built from the State line end
of the Harlem Extension railroad to
Waits Corners or some point on the
Rensselaer, and Saratoga railroad. per-
haps Eagle Bridge 1t is quite evident
from the knowing of the waters that
sooner or later the Western Vermont
Valley will have good railroad connec-

ANOTHER FARM IMPosToR A fellow

but lately a Kansas cattle-breeder, re-
Gently appeared in Ludlow, Mass, with
a letter of Introduction, and Brofessed
to be in want of a farm. He talked
largely of his wealth, claimed to have
30 western horses at Palmer, and after
hanging round for a week, bargained for
a 80, 900 farm, and went to Springfield
with the owner ''tO have the writings
drawn up" The whole sum was to be
paid ON the delivery of the deed, and
Howe, leaving the farmer, said he would
go to the Massasoit House to meet his
rich Boston father, and return at a Ger
tain hour to pay the cash and take the
deed. The farmer waited for him in
vain the $4,000 farm is still unsold,
and the farmer escaped with the loss of
his time and a weeks endurance of the
fellows presence. The impression pre-
walls i'll Dudlow that this bogus Major
Howe is a dead-beat.
