LINcoLN.-Mr. Editor AS there.
are DO items of importance this week from
our vicinity, aside from the railroad
meeting, held at the Town Hall, the 10Th
inst, in which the feasibility of narrow
gauge railway, from Vergeuncs TO Bristol
and Lincoln, was earnestly discussed by
our Bristol friends, permit me to write
a few words in answer to an article, pub.
lished in the Vermonter. the l4th inst,
in relation to the people Of Lincoln, drink
ng intoxicating liquors to excess, in the
streets of Bristol, &c.
do not wish to censure the Editor of
that paper, in the least, for publishing the
item referred to but do assert that his
Bristol correspondent, has made gross
error, when he claims that we Linconites
as the one pho kno,os terms us, sell fire
water to our young and middle aged men,
thereby leading them on to ruin, and de-
stroyipg the happiness of their families.
He even goes so fur as to say, that his
Bristol roughs 60 to Lincoln to get rum.
We would advise our respected friend OF
the narrow gauge railway, to survey our
town trife more, before stating to the
public, that we are in such deplorabe
condition even, that this accursed stuff is
bought and sold as common merchandise,
and in;imating that all, that are intoxi-
Gated in Bristol if they do not belong in
Lincoln, get their rum there. l positive
ly deny these charges. 1t is not sold in
this town for such purposes But | am
acquainted in Bristol, enough to know
that there is more than one place in that
4 village, where people addicted to strong
4 drink, can quench their thirst, without
going to Lincoln for the stuff | will ad-
nit that there are those in our town who
drink whskcy; even that the person,
whose initials were given, was in a con
dition to excite the sympathy of his
friends few days since, and the young
man in constable Hills custody, was also
a resident Lincoln. But when our friend
claims that their liquor was obtained
here, it is stating facts that cannot be
proved, They had both been to Bristol
and were sober until about the time they
left the village for home.
We as town, do not claim that We
are perfect, that our garments are with
out spot and blemish but we do not wish
to be rated more than fifty per cent. be
low par, because we happen to live il
Lincoln, among the hills, away from rail
roads, etc.
| do not suppose our Bristol frient
wrote the public sentiment of his town
enmasse, for We have a better opinion o
Bristol; bnt We hope the few who en-
dorse his statement, may form more
( favorable opinion of US in the future.

House THIEF ARREsTED.-The Yer
monter has the following additional par
ticuars of the arrest of the horse thief
Carter, which we briefly narrated last
week.
On Thursday, the 18Th a man calling
himself Alfred Stone, but whose real
name proved to be Christopher Carter,
was arraigned before Hon. G. w. Gran
dey, on four complaints, for horse steal
ing. He pleaded guilty to the charge
of stealing two horses in November last
from Henry T. Booth, Of Ferrisburgh,
and one horse from Silas Piper of Mid.
dlebury. He pleaded not guilty to the
charges of stealing horse Of Harvey
Martin, of terrisburgh, and a horse Of
f, 9. Everest, of Vergennes, in Septem-
Der last. After examination, he was held
to bail on the four several complaints.
On the first two complaints, 500 each.
and on the last two $500 each /; being
S2,40O in the whole. The horses were
all found in Blackstone, Mass, which
was Carriers former home. He has con-
fessed that he stole morse, buggy and
harness last fall from Hon. S, NJ. Dorr.
and another from John Cain, Esq, both
of Rutland. and that he took this prop
erty also to Blackstone, where both hors-
es have since died.
The way the detection came about is
as follows: Mr.. Charles Smith of Yer
gennes, some time since, had his suspi.
cions excited by Stones frequent offers to
sell halters and such things for mere
nothing. The shipping of the gray horse
at this station, some two weeks ago. was
the first positive evidence against him
The halter on the horse was recognized
BY Mr.. Henry Booth, who, with Mr.. f
G. Everest and Mr.. Smith were watching
the horse dealers movements. The two
colts stolen from Mr.. Booth in Septem
Der had on Moulton pokes and fv'
ring halters. The poke had chafc'
one of the halters 30 that it became ne
cessary to patch it. This Mr.. Booth did
and the patched halter formed a stroni
link in tho chain of evidence against tn
thief. Messrs. Everest and Booth tool
Tuesdays train, IN company with Deput.
Sheriff Bacon of Worcester Mass, 70

Blackstone and returning the iollowin

lage. As they had air Of detection, II is
supposed they came 20 the conclusion,
that forcing the season with three feet OF
snow on the ground, was rather discourag'
ing business. With the mercury down to
zero this morning the poor things must he
on the verge Of despair.

to keep away from that locality for the
future.
Mn. EDIroR-Every one who reads
the REGISTER is pleased to find mention
of good thing well done.
On Wednesday afternoon Mr., w. IL.
Utley, of the Senior class, delivered his
last Grafton upon the College stage. 1t is
fact worthy of notice, that every one OF
Mr.. Utley's College stage orations has
been cxtempore remarks. A stranger, ne-
inn present mt ono Of Mr.. Utleys per-
formanccs, would suppose that it was a
carefully prepared written production.
While he is relieved Of the necessity OF
taxing the memory for every sentence,
this gentleman is gifted with remarka-
BILE faculty Of huency ofspeech and clear
ness Of expression. Blessed with this
ability, Mr.. Utley has rare treasure
that will prove Of inestmable value to
him. Since our connection with the coll
lege no other student has ever been sue.
