Out OF Town Notes.
CASTLETON.

Permit me to come to the rescue OF
our town grand Juror, who was publicly
censured through the columns OF the
HERALD last Thursday morning, 10y your
Vaudeville correspondent, &c" for neg
Iect of duty. in regard to the cOlOred
cirl. whom he reports was seized by
Fairhaven man, at the depot in Hyde
Vile. and borne off to parts unknown.
She was taken, perhaps, rather violently
bv the Fairhaven man TO his house, that
had been the home of the girl some time
and she was simply attempting to run
away therefrOm, and nothing as yet APP
pears to show but what the man had
perfect lawful and legal right 50 to 90.
The aforesaid official thought the little
sensation" created over the affair mao
better subside, and the indignation OF
certain citizens aroused IN that quleI
vile became slightly quoted, before pro-
ceedings were instituted against the per-
son who committed so gross ''mlsde-
meanOr" as to take his maid servant
home with him with horse and buggy,
from which she had departed without
leave. If they or your correspondent
cannot abide the time OF the grand Juror
in the village, they had better at once
organize a vigilance committee, that IS
more than talked Of" as reported by
the correspondent, and proceed to busl-
ness without delay, or else to entrust the
matter in the hands of the town authOrl-
ties in their own neighborhOod. Our
Grand Juror is one who believes that the
laws are for the protection OF the low
lest of defenceless women, and that
colored people have rights that white
people are bound to respect. Some scrIb-
blers are always seeking for sensational
items to rush into print with, even under
small or false pretensions, and the above
mentioned Juror is 'gratitied to know
that the Hydeville reporter of the HER
AID has satisfied his ambitionsin this re-
spect by Selling this subject as an i'm
portant news item for its columns.
We seize this opportunity to inform
Excelsior" that we duly and fully APP
preciate his good wishes toward us as in
Dictated in his budget last Monday NOR
ming relative to our physical condition
after that unlooked-f0r descent into
Rutland rut or culvert, from which he
rescued us one evening. The rescue was
somewhat romantic, as it brought us
face to face. for the first time. Hence

a distance and only through the HERALD,
as heretofore We would not forget to
congratulate him on his accession to the
exalted and lucrative position OF JUS
tice of the peace, hoping that, though so
highly elevated, he will cOndescend to
| look down Oh men of low state, like US
and the other common fellOW-scrbblers.
''Smuggins" need not be concerned OF
the Whereabouts of Excelsior" He
will turn up somewhere once IN about so
often. He is always competent to take
| care of one, and sometimes is adequate
| for two or three.
| The only political exhibition we
| have witnessed since the State election
was by a company of men passing
| through Main street ia a wagon, the
other morning. When they came under
the Greeley and Brown flag, their hats
came off and three cheers went up for
Greeley and Brown.
Our village has recently been visit

the other from below Poultney, escort

Rev. Mr. Farrar, of the Methodist
church, and Col F. Parker, of the Con-
gregatlonal church, were delegates to the
| Sabbath School Workers Convention at
Swanton, last week. They represent it
as a pleasant and profitable meeting,
which was well attended by members
from the north part of the State. They
were the only representatives present
from Rutland county. MIR. Farrar was
elected one of the vice-presidents.
Rev Mr.. johnson, of Saratoga, in
exchange with Mr.. Francis, preached
most acceptable sermons at the brick
church last Sabbath morning and even
ing His theme in the morning was the
discipline of solitude, founded on the
words, s'And Jacob was left alone" The
subject of the evening discourse was on
the leading traits of christian character,
the basis of which was on the passage,
