In fredericksburg, out of 1900 graves
only about 5000 are known, and it is to be
presumed there are great many Vermonters
among them. In all the cemeteries there are
more or less &" unknown graves. At Get
tysburg about fifteen are known only as ." Yer
mont soldiers" The list of those buried
at Arlington is incomplete, and will be large
ly iucreaeed in future report as well as will
the lists of other cemeteries around Wash
ington.
Adjutant General Peek has shown great
energy, and performed q large amount of
labor in placing upon substantial record so
many whose names help 10 make up the
- roll of honor" of this State and no doubt
his valuable service will be duly appreciated
by the thousands whose relatives and friends
are named in the list We think it would
add largely to the value of this report if il
could he placed in a neatly printed pamphlet
by itself Tor more general distribution, and
would be more priced in many instances
than the " Memorial" issued by the State.
Bot perhaps it would be better to delay this
until the list Is as nearly completed az it cap
be.
On Friday afternoon just before the tenn
porary adjourn ment, tue Senate INDUCED IN
a few bulIards. A bill to repeal the ac. OF
1870 which requires pc ltiun signed BY
msJority of the legal voters OF the town TO
close billiard room, was der c)nsIdera-
iion. Ssus tor Morrill, Ut CalcI Ion a county [

tors thought that would not be great work !

Senator Sprague next told the Senate what |
be knew about billiards in Brandon, and re-
lated how in one instance a well conducted |
institution of that kind was closed in that
town by the one man, or three man power,
because the keeper did not vote for the sue
cessful selectmen at March meeting, and that
saloon d" stood closed " thereafter to the
great annoyance Of all good billiard players,
who for the want of that innocent amuse- |
ment were liable to do something worse IN
til after the present law come into operation.
Mr.. Sprague thought the law as it now stood
was sufficient guard to all abuses. Senator
Reynolds of Grand Isle tried to effect COM
promise +, and other Senators interfered some
what " gingerly" with the game, seemingly
disposed to let the rival champions have it
out. But motion TO lay upon the table for
another trial prevailed, and 50 the end of the
game of billiards is not yet.
