ResolCed, That one of the strongest argu-

ance and one that carries more intlu

| temperate, is a correct personal example
on the part of the professed temperance
man.
ResoJUed, That as drunkenness is Il
crime against the State, and sin against
God, the. traffic in intoxicating liquors,
which leads to 1t, is wrong and should
be suppressed.
ReSoyred, That in the midst of discour-
agements we are still hopeful of ultimate

"NOT DEAD, BUT RISEN.,
BY MRS. NJ. A. KIDDER.

Under the greenwood tree
l laid my little one down;
| covered her grave with the daisies fair,
With the lilies white and the roses rare,
In shape of cross and crown.
And day by day l walked
Round her grave with "A silent tread,
Till the sun in the burning west was low,
Then home by the winding path I'd go,
To weep DER her cradle bed.
I would not lift my eyes
To heavens ETHEREAL blue:
/ sought the place of my baby's birth
And death-I clung to the clods of earth,
Damp, damp with the rain and dew.
One night, in pleasant dream,
heard my darling's voice;
/ saw the gold of her shining hair,
Her baby cheeks, so soft and fair,
And it made my heart rejoice.
She stood in the pearly gate,
And spoke to the angel band:
"My mother sees me nOlC,' she cried,
8 Though never before since her baby
died -
And she held out her fair right hand.
l woke, and the dream was gone;
But never. since that day,
Have pictured my babe in its cradle bed.
Or down, down deep with the silent dead
But well on her shining way

that an investigation by the authorities
served only to increase the indignation
of the people, and Saturday night it cul-
minated in an outrage upon Mr.. Hall.
A company of masked men proceeded to
his house, and calling him out, seized
him, stripped him of clothing, and then
applied dressing of tar and feathers
Mrs. Hall endeavored by screaming to
attract the attention of some one who
would protect her husband, but she was
at once gagged and kept quiet till the
outrage was accomplished, when the

OPPOSITION TO THE VERMONT CENTRAL.
The opposition to the present manage
ment of the Vermont Central have made
a move. 4 petition was filed before
Judge Royce, chancellor, at st. Albans,
Wednesday, for the removal of Governor
Smith, w. C. Smith, B. p Cheney, and
Lawrence Barnes from the trusteeship
of the road. The petitioners are a Bath
Savings Bonk, G. K. Richardson, Chas.
L. Flint, NJ B. Carpenter and others,
holding about $3.50, 900 of first mortgage
bonds The petition alleges that these
trustees failed to pay the first mortgage
coupons, last December, although they
had the money to do it, or, il they did
not have the money on hand, they had
| improperly spent it, that Gregory Smith
and Clark are unsuitable and improper
persons for trustees and managers, hav-
ing been the owners of the Montreal rail
road and having taken money from the
Vermont Central and applied it to that
road; that all the managers have violat-
ed their obligations as trustees by their
unfavorable contracts from the Vermont
Central to support the National car COM
! pany, of which they were stockholders /;
that they knew they were impoverish-
ing the railroad and now confess it that
! they issued stock to the Vermont and
Canada road, without authority and with
/ fraudulent intent, in order to increase
the rent to be paid to it by the Vermont
! Central, and thus satisfy pretended
| claim against the latter which the SUI
preme Court had disallowed that they
procured q lease of the Ogdensburg rail
road by cOrrupting its attorney with a
bribe of $25, 1000, etc. At the same time,
/ the hearing on the motion of Mr.. Brooks,
the president of the Vermont and Canada
railroad company, before mentioned in
these columns, for an order to compel
the trustees and receivers of the Yer
mont Central to pay the installment OF
rent (S12O, ,O0O) which became due the
! Vermont and Canada last December,
was brought on for hearing. Mr.. Brooks
was present and assisted by Hon. Hemau
s. Royce and Hon. E r. Hard as cOup.
sci. Gov. Smith was present and as
sisted by Hon. b. F. Fifield, Hon. Levi
Underwood, Hon. John w. Stewart,
Hon. Jasper Rand, Messrs Noble &
Smith, Davis & Adams and Col. r. c.
Benton. The Governor filed an answer
to the motion wherein he set forth that
the trustees had expended upward OF
$120,0 more ON the construction OF
the Burlington branch (through the tan
nel) than additional Vermont and Canads
stock had been issued for, therefore they
ought not to be compelled to pay divi
dends until this sum is met

DEATH IN Coal MINES. The mining
accidents of the year 1872 in the anthra-
cite coal fields Of Pennsylvania resulted
in tic fearful total of one hundred and
ifty-three men killed, and four hundred
and sixty-two wounded. These returns
include only five counties and portion
of sixth. Of this large number of
casualties many were due to defective
arrangement in the mines and inadequate
provision for escape bat many moe
were caused by individual carelessness
and negligence. Recently an explosion
in an English mine was traced to the
fact that a group of miners, in the bot
tom of the mine, had removed the COW
ers from their safety lamps to light their
pipes, and were smoking when the cat
astrophe occurred. Constant familiarity
with danger breeds a certain contempt
for it.; and large proportion of the
Pennsylvania casualties were due to
recklessness not less culpable than this.

TAR AND FEATHERS IN CoSEEcTIoUT.
The New Haven Palladium gives the
particulars of an outrage which occurred
in Branford, Conn.,, on Saturday night.
1t appears that the people of the town
have been very indignant of late over
rumor of ill-treatment of an outrageous
nature, to which Miss Clara Spinks, an
invalid, has been subjected by one
Augustus Hall and his wife. 1t was
stated that this lady, after placing the
Hall family under obligation to her, had
been thrust out of comfortable quarters
and left in an clubhouse to die. 1t seems

The COUNTY TEMPERANCE CONVEX
TIoN.-We give, in another place, re-
port of the proceedings of the Rutland
County Temperance Society. 1t will be
seen that the nomination for county
commissioner was postponed until next
Friday. One of the officers of the So
ciety informed US that ''the sentiment
prevailed that due care should be taken
in the choice of selectmen, as, in the
opinion of the convention, their author
ity is somewhat mutual in the appoint
ment of town agents. Therefore, in the
apprehension of temperance men, the
cause of temperance is enhanced by the
nomination and election of temperance
men to important town offices."
