FROM GEN. ARNOLD.


PLATTsBURGH BARRACKS, n. Y.
January 9Th, 1872.
James s. Peck, Secretary:
DEAR SIR Your note of the I'd inst.
extending to me an invitation to the Sth
annual reunion of Vermont Officers, at
Burlington, on the nth, in the name of
the executive committee, is at hand.
Please express to the Society my
thanks for their polite invitation, which,
l regret, it will not be in my power to
accept.
The Green Mountain Boys, so famous
in the Revolution, did not perform more
gallant and conspicuous service in their
time, than the Brigade of Vermonters of
the 9th Army Corps, during the rebellion
and with whom it was my pleasure to
be associated in the first Peninsula cam
paign.
Convinced that these annual gather
ings of gallant men, who have done their
country such a noble service in the hour
of peril, is of the greatest Importance in
fostering and keeping alive the true
spirit of patriotism, | close this brief
note, with the wish that the re-
union of the 18th may prove as interest
ing as those on former occasions, and
that the custom may be perpetuated.
am, very truly yours,
RICHARD ARNOLD,
Brevet Mai. Genl. U.S.A.

CURIoUs-Of the stock of these called
Union Meeting House, at Dandy, two
thirds is owned by persons connected
with the Congregational Society, while
less than one-third is owned by persons
who are not CongregationaIsts, and
those who profess to be Methodist, own
to the amount of $3.50. And yet
while the Congregationalists have cheer
fully consented that the Methodists and
those associated with them, should Occu-
py the house half of the time, the Meth
odists are not willing that the Congrega-
tionalists should occupy it at all, not
even when they do not wish TO occupy
it themselves And they have succeeded
in causing an injunction to be served
upon the Union Meeting House Society,
by which the Congregationalists are, AT
least for the present, excluded from
said house. In consequence of this
order of court, the Congregationalists
will until further notice, hold their meet
ings in the Bruce Hall, not az hereto
fore, In the afternoon, but at 104 o'clock
in the forenoon, aud at 6! o'clock in the
evening. Their Sabbath School viii be
held in the same place Immediately
after the close of the forenoon service.
Tho Consrogationalists and their
friends do not regret that their enemies
have thus undertaken against them. The
hope now is that the court will by and
by, put an end to this wicked strife, and
that too, by doing justice to both parties,
