& EMIGRATION FROM ICELAND.-It APP
pears that the passion for emigrating
which has prevailed to such an extent
during the past few years in the Scandi-
navian countries, has at length extend
ed to Iceland. By kilograms received
yesterday, it is stated that IL steamer
with large number of emigrants on
board may he expected to arrive daily
in the Firth of Forth from Iceland.

- The Vermont Witness again pitch
es into Rev. l.. III. Stone, and makes
some serious charges against him in
connection with the agency of the State
Temperance Society. We know moth
ing about the merits of the controversy,
except what the .'belligcrents' are
pleased to say. Mr.. Stone assured us.
some time ago, that he did not claim to
represent the State Society; that he
was an independent temperance lectur-
er. and addressed the people wherever
he was invited; and that the funds
collected by him were devoted to the
good of the cause. This is all we know
about it and we don't care much about
it, except that we fear the present ac-
rimOnious controversy may work injury
to the cause. and create needless strife
among its leading advocates.-St Al
bans Messenger.

That Liquor Case, once More.

Justice Johnson wishes us to say that
he has learned that the parties referred
to in last weeks CdledOnidH. as getting
liquor by express from Burlington. did
not 81 receive it and that the reason
he did not take their first confession
that is. that they got drunk on hitters
as true, was that both brandy and
whisky were found on their persons
when arrested. He now SAYS that DIAL
ton lied in relation to where the liquor
WAS procured.
We submit that enough has been said
in print about this case. We gave the
matter substantially as it was the first
week but some ones toes were step
ped ON, and the Justice was appealed
to for correction. In attempting to
right this, the Justice hit some one else.
and 50 the matter is dragged before the
public the third time.

II 1t is reported that some miscre
ant evidently undertook to burn the
engine and car now run on the Stan
stead Spur. Material was piled up
about the engine which was standing
out of doors and set Oh fire, but fortu-
nately the fire was discovered in time
and put out without materially iniuring
the engine. This would tend to show
that perhaps the fire which destroyed
the car house and train there few
weeks since might have been the work
of an incendiary. Express.

Cemetery Dissertation.

\ most raSCallN outrage was pcrpe-
trated in the st. .JohnShury Cemetery
last week. Some person or persons
applied muriatic acid to nine granite
monuments. The effect of this acid on
granite is to turn it rcd-about the
color of a piece of rusty sheet iron.
Fortunately the fact that something had
been applied to these stones was dis
covered early and when seen 10y =. Is.
Laird he at once saw what it was and
went to work to countcract the effect
of the acid. This he thinks he has done
successfully; and although the spots
show now, he feels confident that in
time they will all he ctfaced. There
are some things in connection with the
affair quite noticcahle; one of which is
that every stone was marked III the
same place-on the die" Nothing but
I.aird'S Blue Mountain granite mOnu-
ments were touched. Those mOnu-
ments which it was thus attempted to
deflce belong to Judge \. l.. French.

poets that it was done out of any i'll
will to the friends of any who are buried
there, but for entirely different reasons.

that any thing of this kind should he
