A Heavy snow storm.

A snow storm, commencing Tuesday
morning at about 1 o'clock, has been
raging ever since. Up to the time of
this writing TUESDAY EVENING" o'clock
snow has fallen in Rutland to depth of
a foot, probably, accompanied with
wind Railroad travel has been consid-
erably interfered with On the Rut-
land road the mail train due here at IL
80 a. M, did not arrive until $3.50 p. m.
The great trouble with snow was exper-
fenced near Shelburn and Charlotte. 1t
is very rare that trouble is had with
snow in this section of the Rutland road,
aHd hence the railroad company was
somewhat unprepared for it. The diff
ficulty with snow is usually experienced
on the mountain east of Rutland, and n.
L. Davis Esq, Superintendent of mo-
tive power, ty hard work kept this por-
tion Of 7thearead open, and consequently,
the mail train only arrived forty-fve
minutes late, nr,st of this time being lost
below Bellows calls.
E-- 4 hC -sirCliSst tdST ana saratoga noon
train was over two hours and half
late.
The Harlem Extension noon train was
about one hour and half late. The
New York train over the Rutland and
Washington road due at 5 p. m. was
about two hours late The Montreal
express from the north. due at 1916 p.
m. did not get but short distance from
Burlington before it was stalled into the
snow, and was backed to Burlington
again. where another locomotive was
procured and fresh start was taken,
the train arriving in Rutland at 5 p. M,
the palace car proceeding no further on
its route to New York. The evening
mixed train from Burlington was discon-
tinued, and did not leave Burlington.
More snow fell, we should Judge, in the
vicinity of Burlington than in this sec
ton. ~

vermont Dairymen,s Association.

The fifth winter meeting of the Yer
mont DaiTymeas Association will be
held at Essex Junction, Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, January 21st, 22d
and 23d, 1874 1t has ever been the
policy of the government of the associ-
alton to bring together such an array of
practical men, accustomed to giving ex-
preston to their thoughts, as would
make the meetings worthy Of the atten-
dance and cordial: cooperation of the
foremost minds ia. the great battle of
agricultural progress. Acting upon the
theory that all men know more than any
one man, it has been our endeagOr, as
far as possible without seeming to die
tate to those who have favored us with
their aid, to drift clear-of the system of
long didactic addresses and lectures, and
rather by series-of short, pithy, Incl
siye, introductory essays to elicit the eX-
periences, not only of our friends from
abroad, but also of oar members and
neighbors. IF we may give full credit
to the enconiums ofreuf visitors, no or
ganization of the kind has been more
successful or has accomplished greater
measure of good, and no essential modi-
featfonio of the general plan of our meet
ings is contemplated at this time. From
its very inception, however, the motto
of the association has been onward, and
no effort will be spared to make this
meeting more interesting and more pro-
fltable than any of its predecessors.
At this stage, we deem it no longer
necessary to parade the names of men
eminent as farmers and dairymen, or in
some of the subsidiary arts or sciences
who will meet with us upon this occa-
sion. 1t is sufficient to say that there
will be no lack of such, and yet there is
room for more. Let who will, come,
and come prepared to do good and get
good. There viii be an exhibition of
dairy products and implements.

THE BANKRUPT LAW.

The knowing ones are proelainling
that although all else is clouds and thick
darkness, there is one thing that is a
sure go immediately when Congress
meets, and that is that the bankrupt act
will be repealed, or modified by remoy-
ing the involuntary" feature, Now
we have been watching the signs of the
times, to see what are the indications of
a repeal of the bankrupt law, and we
confess that our hopes are not as
sanguine as we wish they were. Every
business man has at sometime felt grieved
at the operations of the bankrupt act,
and all the officers engaged in its execu-
ton have been made the SUBJECT of
much profanity, on account Of their
tedious way of doing business and the
amount Of money they have. used up in
fees, but very few would consent to re-
peal the bankrupt act while. things are
ia their present shape. 49, +. +.
The House of Representatives, at their
last session, in a fit of indignation at the
workings of some of the provisions of
this much abused law, repealed the
whole thing, with all its amendments,
but before the Senate could get it by a
Committee, the people took the matter
up, and deluged the upper house of Con-
gress with such perfect shower of re. 4.
monstrances, petitions. and requests, that
that body never had the courage. to re- 4
fer to it again. Commercial people have.
kind of instinct that it is not fair for a
single creditor to cope in all the assets |
OF failing debtor, and receive. his pay
IN n full, while the Others, equally meri. /
torious, must be swindled out of their !.
whole debt, and we most heartily sym. /
patize with those feelings, and should be ]
sorry to see the bankrupt law repealed. /
unless something was to take its place.

1t is not surprising that the Cuban
outrage should have been made the sub
'jectof pulpit oratory, Sunday, but the
depth of feeling respecting it is well il
Illustrated by the. fact that its use was SO
general. Nearly all the clergymen, in
New York alluded to it, and in Ply
mouth church this feeling ran so high
that Mr.. Beecher was at one time inter-
rupted by a round of applause. This
occurrence, so unusual in its character,
may be taken as one of the illustrations
of how deeply the insult to our flag has
sunk into the hearts of our people and
of their eagerness to avenge it. Yet it
is somewhat peculiar to see. the. preach
ers of the gospel of peace advocating a
cause, which, if taken up by our gov
eminent, must inevitably lead to war.
Nothing further is needed to prove the
unanimity of that sentiment which de-
nlands the cessation of Spanish cruel
ties. When the press, representing the
political and social element, and the
pulpit, representing the religious ele-
ment of our nation, unite in such de
mand as this, no doubt can be entertain
ed of what the people wish. -.
