ING METAL STILL FOUND IN ABUNDANT
QUANTITIEs-A MORE THOROUGH INVEs-
TIGATIoN NEEDED.
The prospecting party started out
again Tuesday in search of the Vermont
Ell Dorado The original party was
considerably increased by several others
who were ready and anxious to go ''in
search of fortune. The place visited
is on Mill river, in the town of Claren-
don, about seven miles from the village
of Rutland. The scenery along the river
over which the prospecters passed IN
their researches is one of unsuTpasslng
grandeur. There, nature can be seen IN
all it's beauty. In numerous places I'M
mense rocks tower perpendicularly in
the air to a hdight of over two hundred
feet, while in other places the rocks
slope away to a height of over three
hundred feet and are covered with de-
post of clay out of which dourishes
dense growth of pine, oak, hacmatac,
etc. The party took the stream at the
place of the previous research and pros
pected for several miles up and down the
river, and in every place where they
took up a painful, abundant traces OF
gold were discovered. 1t has been car
ried down the stream by the action OF
the water, and is deposited in the crew
ices of a soft rock which is abundant on
either sides. 1t is the pure dust In large
and small particles, clear of quartz and
in an abundance of black sand. The
quantity that is scattered for several
miles at least along the river indicates
the presence of an abundant supply at
no great distance, and the fortunate dis
coverer of the "lead" has a fortune
early made. The largest piece discover
ed yesterday was washed out at the
greatest distance up the stream that they
had heretofore visited, indicating that
they had not got above the deposit and
were apparently very near to it.
| After prospecting several hours, the
party returned to Rutland with liberal
supply and with the firm conviction that,
should competent miner visit the place,
he could trace the lead and thus reach a
rich deposit, from which would flow un.
told wealth.
This prospecting party ceases itslabors
for the present, but there will probably
be other parties formed at no distant
date to prosecute the search, the results
of which will be promptly laid before the
readers of the HERALD.

A PLEASANT INCIDENT At White
HALL. The Washington County Netos,
of Whitehall, says that.at the close OF. the
muster there last week, beautiful bo-
ouet was given to the Eagles of Castle
ton, by Captain p. P. Gaylord, in be-
half of the Empire Hook and Ladder
Company, who sympathized with them
on account of their i'll luck, which was
received by Captain Egbert Armstrong,
who responded in an appropriate, pithy
and felicitious speech, remarking that
they would remember Mr.. Gaylord be-
fore they left home. On their way to
the depot the Eagles drew up before the
residence of Mr.. Gaylord, and gave him
'sthree times three, as only the sturdy
boys of Castleton can give it. The
friendship and kindly feeling that was
exhibited among the various fire compa-
MES is most commendable.

The ISLANDERS ON Rutland Firemen

The Troy Press continues its malicious
and uncalled for assaults upon the Rut-
land firemen, and its chief stock in trade
now seems to be Mr.. Hulls letter. A
representative of the HERALD had an in
teryiew with Mr.. Hull yesterday. The
writer has had pleasant acquaintance
with him for years, and esteems him as
worthy gentleman. We were satisfied,
after our conversation with him, that he
had written a stronger letter to the Troy
Press than he really intended to do. He
says he saw no quarreling, "but that
the boys were full of the devil" and he
thought they carried their fooling too
far, and told them SO. Now, the facts
are, there was one man eve are tempted
to call his name) who did in one car slap
a brother fireman in the face and used
some profane language, but he was ia
ken in hand by some firemen and COM
PEELED to sit down and keep quiet. This
man, we understand, the company in
tend to deal with. Aside from this case,
we have not been able to learn of sin
gle instance of quarrelling or rowdyism.
Mr.. Hull frankly acknowledges that he
saw none. He is an old man, and says
at his time of life she will not stand
crowding." There is no doubt the cars
were badly crowded that night from
Bennington, and at best it was uncom-
Portable riding. Mr.. Hull was not JUS
tilted, as we frankly told him, because
there was some 'sfooling," in coming out
and calling the Rutland firemen, as a
class, ''rowdies, " or speak of their STOOL
ing" as "Modoc orgies;" and we think
had he stopped for reflection, before
writing the letter, he would not have
done it. a@

Mcclure bears upon the subject

MENDON,

On Monday, August 25th, s'Uncle
Bill" the man who has labored 81 years
in the interest of William Y. Ripley,
made purchase of carload of very
fine-looking young cattle. They were
brought from Rome, n. Y, to this place
last week by Mr.. Cook.
The old cemetery, mentioned last
week, looks very much better for the la
Dor bestowed upon it. About three hun
bred dollars have been expended to good
advantage. No small saving was made
by purchasing the iron, for fence and
gates, of Thomas Ross & Co., Rutland :;
and an equally favorable bargain was
made by buying marble, for the fence
posts, of Nathan Pierce of West Rut-
land. The work thus far has been done
in good, substantial manner. Further
improvements are to be made in the way
of putting up walks, setting shade-trees
and the like, for which donations are
still solicited. Mr.. VIM. G. Walker has
put his lot in very tasty condition.
His beautiful monument, and grading,
and iron fence must have cost him some
$3.50.
MIR. Flanders, the young man who
had his head slit with a circular saw,
has so far recovered as to be able to get
out and enjoy our salubrious mountain
atmosphere. 1871 . @ssl @ ToLEN.

A Boy WHO FOUND A HONE
The Hon. A. II. Stephens, of Geor-
gia, in a recent address at q meet
ing at Atlanta, tor the benefit Of
tho orphan asylum and free school
of that city, related the following
anecdote
A poor little boy on cold night.
with no house or roof to shelter
his head, no paternal or maternal
guardian, or guide to protect Or
direct him on his way, reached at
nightfall the home Of o wealthy
planter, who took him in, and fed
and lodged him, and sent him on
his way with his blessing. These
kind attentions checred his heart
and inspired him with fresh cour-
age to battle with the obstacles Of
life. Years rolled on, Providence
led him on and he reached the
legal profession. His host had
died ; the cormorants that prey
on the substance Of man had form
ed q conspiracy to get from the
widow her estates. She sent for
the nearest counsel to commit her
cause to him, and that counsel
proved to be the orphan boy long
before wclc"med and entertained
by her deceased husband. The
stimulous Of q warm and tenacious
gratitude was now added to the
ordinary motive connected with
the profession. lie undertook
her case with I will not easily to
be resisted; he gained it the wild
ow's estate was secured to her in
perpetuity. and Mr.. Stephens ad.
ded with an emphasis Of emotion
that sent an electric thrill through
the house, "That boy stands be.

A THRILLING EPISODE IN THE
LIFE OF RUFEALo HILL.-Butalo
Bill was at Hartford, Conn, the
other day, and while visiting Colt's
armory the large number Of spec
tators who had assembled to see the
famous scout desired him to favor
them with an exhibition Of his
skill as marksman. Bill gave
the chow of tobacco in his mouth
to q small boy to keep warm, a
small piece Of white paper was
put up on q barn door fifty rods
distant, B. William seized q fGe,
new rifle, spit on his hands, and
in the manner so often described
by Ned Buntline raised the rife
until his nose rested on the stock,
fired, and a picket was knocked
off from q fence ten feet to the left
of the barn. "This rifle barrel is
crooked" said Bill. So saying he
hit it over stone to straighten it,
then shot again, this time barking
the shin of an ldpie-woman on his
right flank. A third trial, and he
hit the barn fair in the centre, and
the shout that arose from the as
scmblagc attestcd the joy of the
spectators at his success. Bill is
