last night, the cars and locomotives of
| all the trains that stay over night here
| standing out through the night on side
tracks of the Rutland railroad company.
Representatives of the ID. & H. Co. here
say that they had no notice of an inten-
tion on the part of the Harlem Exten-
sion company to do this thing, until yes
terday, and could neither give nor think
of any good reason for such actiou. The
Harlem Extension representatives say
that the president of the D. & III. COM
pany in New York has known for some
time that this would be done, if they
persisted in discriminating on freights
from West Rutland, going over the Har-
lem Extension railroad. And it has been
further stated to US, by outside parties,
who claim to be posted, that the Har-
lem Extension company are desirous of
running through train over their road
to Troy, via the Troy 81 Boston railroad,
but the d. g. III. Co. hold lease of the
few miles of road from State Line to
Hoosie Junction and refuse to haveit
done; hence this retaliation by the Har-
lem Extension company.
There are all sorts of rumors flying
about. The matter is simply q fight be-
tween two powerful railroad companies,
and we regret it, as the public generally
are the sufferers. in the end. Were it
otherwise we would not care so much,
It is thought that this trouble will re-
suit in the. building of the new track
from Center Rutland to Rutland by the

the respect of the people for candid,
honest, Christian integrity, and it will
have great effect in bringing about fair
dealing, and in rebuking dishonesty and
fraud. Merchants win see what the re-
putation and character of Horace B.
Clafiin is worth in times of trial. The
lesson of the recent exposures of breaches
of-trast on the part of financial officers
of towns, cities, counties, municipalities
and banks, is bringing to the attention
of such officers the value of clean re-
cord and answering integrity in the
handling of trust funds.
But no where Els there such rebukes

the first indignation of an outraged

prince of political demagogues, in full ac-
cord with the Redublican party, attempts
to run for governor, and is buried out
of sight under the distrust of the pub
lie, while General N. p. Banks, who,
though laboring under the load of a
great mistake last year, is taken up ia
a strong Republican stronghold, and
rushed into the State Senate by large
majority over a regular. and popular
nomination of the party, and thus for
no other reason than that the people
regard him as an honest man, whose

VERGESsEs, Nov. 6.
The subjects of the addresses at the
missionary meeting last evening were as
follows: ''On his last visits to Newport
and Island Pond, by the Bishop. He
has. just confirmed seven persons at the
latter place. baptized some, and gave
the holy communion to twenty-one per
sons. He introduced the other speakers
and gave well Tnerited welcome back
to the diocese to one of them, the Rev.
MT. Roberts, of Brandon. The Bishop
was followed by the Rev. Mr.. Atwili, of
Burlington, on ''Fhe reasons why we
should establish our church missions in
towns and villages that already have
other religious Organizations. The Rev.
Mr.. Haskins, of Utah, gave an account
of our missionary operations in Salt Lake
City. The Rev. DR.. Bailey, of Sheldon,
spoke of the tsWeighty reasons, always,
and especially now, existing for the due
observance of. the Lords Day The Rev.
Mr. Roberts, of Brandon, spoke of mis-
sionary work as pertaining TO the laity
The Rev. Mr.. Atwell, of Massachusetts,
represented the Society for the increase
of the ministry and made an appeal in
its behalf. .--..-''...~
All these addresses were very excel
lent, both in variety of subject and man
ner of treatment. 1t is seldom that one
hears, on a single occasion, SO many ad-
dresses of the first order.
Before the close of the meeting an
offertory was made for diocesan mis-
alons,
Thursday morning at an early eelebra-
tion of the Holy Communion was held
at ? O'Clock, according to rule of the
convention for daily celebration at lis
meetings The celebrant, the Rev. g.
Graves, was assisted by the rector, and
the Rev. Messrs. Smith and Atwell, of
Massachusetts,.
At 1880 morning prayer was rendered
by the rector and the Rev. Mr.. Atwell.
The sermon. was by the Rev. Mr.. Smith,
of St. Albans, on divine worship, from
Rev, iv, s. 'sAnd they rest not, day and
night, saying, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord
God Almighty, which was, and is, and
is to come" III.
Among the mission reports was an in
teresting one from the Rev. Mr. White,
Enosburgh Falls.
This service concluded the session,
which has been SO pleasant and profit
able to ALL Great credit is due TO the
pastor, the choir, and the congregation,
for the success of the occasion. May
we have many more such inspiring meet
ings. The clergy and other visitors will
not forget the bouutiful and elegant
hospitality of Vergennes, including the
receptions at the Stevens House, as well
as at the residences of the citizens of the
| place.
This parish has, Of late years, recoy.
cred much of its former prosperity, not
withstanding constant removals Incident

congratulated on the results, decorative

THERE should be no panic now, as we.
/ had ample notice of the stringeney that
was coming. When the September
| crash came on Wall street, the country
felt nothing of it. 1t was like commo=
| tion in the center of great pool, spread
| ing gradually to its remotest shores,
and sending its waves into every in
| denture and inlet. But while we feel
the inconvenience and know that we
must continue to feel it for some time to.
come, we should not be unmindful of
the more encouraging features of the
situation. 1t is certain that the present
tendency of business is toward speedy
recovery from its depression. We are,
for one thing, rapidly recovering the
balance of trade. Every steamship
which sails from our ports to Europe
carries full cargo Of the products of
our farms and mines, but comes back
almost empty. We are buying hardly
anything abroad and selling more than
we ever did before. All the trains on
the great lines of railway como east
ward heavily laden, but go westward
without freights. The people of the
west must be paying their debts or ac-
cumulating credits, and they must be-
| fore long want of eastern merchants
and manufacturers, those things which
they cannot provide for themselves. 1t
| is agreed on all hands that there are no
large stock of manufactured goods in
the country. People in the west and
south must have boots and shoes and
clothing they are not going without
these necessaries, and their abundant
crops selling this year at good rates will
| give the means of paying for them.
| Our manufacturers, who are doing nos
thing now, must make up for lost time
by and by. We should not be surprised
to see before the middle of winter an
unusual activity in all branches of busi=
| ness. In the meantime there must be,
no doubt, much hardship and some ac-
tual want and suffering among those
whose opportunities of daily labor are
! cut of, and who have no reserve of say
/ ings to fall back on. And whether
this season Of depression lasts
for months or only for weeks,
it will bring much distress with it =. and
the: most rigid eeeAemy should be used
on all hands to meet the storm. Not
one luxury should be bought. Every
| dollar must be husbanded as though it
was the last until the hour of deliver
ance from this prospect, for want and
suffering has fully arrived. :. s.,

The Arrest Of Colonel Williams On.

Some days since our dispatches from New
York announced the arrest Of Colonel
George Williamson, in that city. In rela-
ton thereto the Shreveport Times. of the
thirty-irst of July, contained the following
card from Colonel Williamson's former
partner. The arrest was understood at the
time to have been made for .le purpose OF
extorting black mail from the Colonel, who
was waiting in New York for steame. to
carry him to Aspinwall. where he is to
enter upon the duties Of the Office to which
he has recently been appointed by the
President:
l see from paragraph taken from the
New Orleans P'c"yu"e, that Colonel George
Williamson, my late partner, has been
made the victim Of an unjust and malicious
prosecution by one Theodore Leon, of New
York. In 1867 Colonel Williamson Oh
tanned , judgment for Leon against A.
Winter. of this place, upon two promissory
notes bearing eight per cent interest from
1861. At the request of Colonel William
son. I made final settlement with Winter
on the twenty-sixth day of January. 1872.
and RENTED the amount thus col
lected. to Leon. who replied that
ue was Hot eatlsueu WITH -He metHou
l adopted Of calculating interest.
and returned statement Of balance due
him, calculating the interest 70 date Of rem
dition Of Judgment. then adding interest 10
principal, and upon the amount thus COM
pounded proceeded to calculate interest TO
date Of settlement. As our law does not
allow compound interest. and did not col
lect from Winter according to such calcu-
lation. advised Colonel Williamson not to
pay the balance demanded by Leon. ! vii!
say further, in justice to Colonel William
son, that he left the matter entirely to me
and l suppose has never thought Of it since.
Very respectfully.
