GIFTS OF TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR
TIE PURPOSE.
We take great pleasure in announcing
that the project of a free library for our
city, long talked of and waited for. has nj
last, through the munificence of two veal
thy ladies of our city, taken definite shape.
Mrs. Mary l.. Fletcher, and Miss Mary
Fletcher, widow and daughter of the late
Thaddeus Fletcher, signified last evening
to the city council of Burlington their i'm.
tention to found a public library for our
city, to be called the Fletcher Free Library
Mrs. Fletcher proposes to give $50, 900 for
the immediate purchase of books to form
library +, and Miss Fletcher will give $1O.-
900 to be funded, and the annual income
expended in the purchase of additions of
books to the library. The only condition
attached to the gifts, is that the city shall
provide suitable room or rooms or build
ing for the library, and shall take care of
the same.
We are not advised at this writing of the
action of the City Council ON the subject
But there can be no doubt that the CITY
will gladly accept this most generous offer.
and undertake To provide suitable libra
ry room or building at the public expense
We accordingly consider the Fletcher Free
Library as an established fact; and as we
think of the pleasure and benefit II will be

books for themselves, we almost envy the

The Temperance Controversy.

The Vermont Witness again pitches into
Rev. L. II. Stone, and makes some serious
charges against him in connection with the
agency of the State Temperance Society.
We know nothing about the merits of the
controversy, except what the 'belligerents'
are pleased to say. Mr.. Stone assured us,
some time ago, that he did not claim to re-
present the state society that he was an
independent temperance lecturer, and adj
dressed the people wherever he was in
vited ; 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 acrimonious controversy
may work injury to the cause, and create
needless strife among its leading advocates.

WEST PoINT CADETsHP. have re-
Gently been asked to give the public the
necessary qualifications to be candidate
for cadetship at West Point. AS we un-
derstand, it requires an application to the
member of Congress in the district in
which the young man resides The later
method is the appointment of committee
examination, who give notice of the
time and place of their meeting, when
the several candidates are subjected to a
thorough and strict examination. The
candidates obtaining the highest per cent
age of correct answers to the questions, in
spelling, arithmetic, geography, grammar
and history, is presented to surgeon for
medical examination, and If he passes this
he receives the cadet appointment, subject
to another examination at West Point
Should the candidate obtaining the highest
percentage of correct answers fail to pass
the surgeons examination, the next highest
will be taken till four are discarded. The
fifth will not be taken.

Tue POSTAL CARDs.-The Morgan En-

off about 100000 postal cards per day,
working week days only from a. m. till
9p. m. Regular night and Sunday work
was suspended about two weeks ago, Up
to Saturday there was no difficulty in get
ing paper enough, but arrangements have
been completed that will enable them to
deliver paper sufficient for million and a
quarter cards per days, and this week the
Morgan company expect to work up tbeii
production to $4,000 cards per diem. The
total number of cards ordered up to July 1
was 81 ,03s, 900, and over 100000 have
been called for since that time. Large or.

One of the most horrible discoveries of
these days of fearful disclosures has just
been made in Washington. A man and
his wife. who were professional abortonists,
have been concealing their crimes by burn
ing the bodies of the infant victims of their
huartessness. The matter is being investi-
gated. and terrible developments are ex-
calprits been engaged in burning the re-
mains of children, but also those of the I'M
fortunate women who may have been vic
timizod while undergoing their criminal
operations.

The PEACH MARKET. "A rather clumsy
attempt to "bull the peach market was
made by the peach-growers at their meet
ing at Dover, Del, on Tuesday. In June
last they estimated the coming crop for
railroad shipment North at 2,237 900 bas-
kets but some of the young peaches hay
ing since then fallen from the trees, they
have cut down this estimate to less than
l,0OO, 900, which even the Delaware papers
think is too great change The general
public will be of the same mind, especially
when 1t is remembered that the crop is
usually larger than the estimate. and that
the excess, last year, was 500, 900 baskets
The peach crop, from present prospects,
will be ample, and these efforts to put up
prices in advance of the season will not be
attended with much success.

The Springfield Regetta.

The only two unpromsing points Of the
coming Regetta week at Springfield, Mass.
are the Freshman base ball tournament and
the single scull race. The former has fall
len lifeless from lack of vitality, while the
Encouragement of committees is likely to
kill the latter The present prospect is
that Swift of Amherst will walk over the
course, unlessDutton of Cornell, or Hirschel
of Amherst, should do something unex-
pected. The two mile running race for the
Bennett prize begins to promise better than
at first, and representatives of Amherst,
Harvard, Cornell and Dartmouth are ex-
pected to participate 1t is announced
that the prohibitory law will be thorough
ly enforced during the week.
Attention is fixed for the present on the
daily practice of Ward and Bislin, as
much as on any crew. and the former ap-
pears to be moderated, while the latter is
over-ratcd. Biglin looks in admirable
health though he has "tuckered OUT his
crew, to whose size the other crews have
become accustomed as the legions were to
the gigantic Gauls, till they no longer seem
so very formidable.
Odds are on Biglin as heavy as they
were on Ward at Nyack, last fall, but the
result may equally confound those offering
them. Ward is the more nervous, and his
work appears to have slightly told on him.
His sweep of oar is as long as Johns,
though it does not appear SO, and he APP
pears to pull trille quicker stroke and fin
ishes in better style, while Biglin catches
better and seemingly uses more power.
Coulter does, unostentatiously, vast
amount of hard work, and is greatly reduc-
ing his weight for the struggle with
Scharf, who is already fined down for
several recent races.
Newspapers are well represented, among
them the Rutland daily GLOBE, and the
crews and other victims of the modern in
QUESTION groan at the thought that scores
of reporters and correspondents are coming
on Monday.

quoted as rising: Harvard and Cornell at

GENERAL HOWARD's vINDICA-
TlON.

After all the cutlery that has been raised
personal character and integrity of General
Oliver O. Howard, it is rather amusing,
10 say the least, to find how little fire there
was to occasion so much smoke. After the
onslaught that was made on Howard Uni
versity, having particular reference to his
personal connection Herewith, accompan-
led by charges of fraud, peculation and
msmanagement and the closest scrutiny
showing that the funds were intact, and ju-
diciously and securely invested, it might
naturally have been supposed, that before
the second attack was made, the assaiants
would have reconnotered the position, seen
to their approaches and not, like General
Pope, had their headquarters in the saddle
that is no where. The first and last at
tack on General Howard reminds us very
forcibly of some of Pope's battles flaming
proclamations, boastfn dispatches, the on
slaught made with tremendous force and
energy-as our boys in blue knew so well
how to make them and then the army hurled
back IN confusion and defeat, all because
the enemy's position was imprcgnable, and
the General in the saddle had not taken
the trouble to ascertain anything about it.
The flaming proclamation was issued when
the discovery was made that General How
ard had failed to give bonds for the faith
full discharge of his duty, the fact having
been lost sight of, or conveniently ignored,
that the secretary of war had decided it to
be unnecessary, and not according to the
rules and practices of the department. The
boatfu dispatches commenced to roll in
when the lucid opinion of the Attorney
General was promulgated, and it was ascer-
tanned that the General had had the dis
bursement of some eight and half mil
lions of dollars, for bounties to colored
troops alone. The reasoning was, perhaps,
good from the standpoint of judging
others by themselves, and they, conse-
quently fastened up their reinforcements,
and hurled their forces against the impreg-
nable battlements of General Towards in
tegrity. The defeat, confusion and utter
rout came Tuesday, when, as appeared
from our kilograms, the investigation
showed that with this large amount of
funds passing through the hands of so
many subordinates- some of them hun
dreds of miles distant--the whole deficit
If deficit 1t shall prove to be-was only a

The Departure of the ssTigress.

INC departure Oh the SlIEresssV
At the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Monday af-
ternoon, the steamer Tigress exhibited a
scene of the most energetic preparation.
The furry and haste of the officers and
crew were strongly contrasted by the per-
feet imperturbability of the six Esqua-
maux Joe, Hans Christian, his wife,
daughter and son, and an infant born on an
ice foe amid the rgors of the Arctic re-
gion. In addition to 225 tons of coal
slowed in the bunkers, so tons more of
Cumberland coal, enclosed in large sacks,
were heaped upon the spare deck, sufficient
for about 30 days consumption.
The vessel is expected to travel on the
voyage at the rate of fully eight knots an
hour, and with wind and tide favoring
twelve knots an hour. Her entire compli-
ment of men numbers 40 souls. AT pre-
cisely ten minutes after five o'clock the
Tigress began to move away from her an
chorage on her perilous errand. AS she
forged slowly ahead, the yards of the
United States steam war vessel Brooklyn
and of the receiving ship Vermont were
manned and three stentorian cheers rang
out. The crew of the Tigress rcciprocated
the compliment, and while the air still
quivered with this hearty burst of cnthu-
siasm, the sturdy little craft steamed out of
the yard.
The officer in command of the Tigress
will strictly adhere to the plan of the voy-
age laid down for the Tigress, which is to
steam Immediately by an inshore route to
st. Johns, and after taking in coal to pro-
coed direct to Disco. There she will meet
with the Juniata and take ON further coal
and provisions, and at once commence
really the first step of the expedition. The
distance from where the Polaris was last
heard of from Disco is about 10 miles,
After passing through Melville's Bay the
journey will not be so difficult. The Off
GERS of the expedition are certain of sue
cess, and even believe that they will be
back with the Polaris and her crew before
winter sets in.
The wife of Esquimaux Joe, of the Pol
arts, has acquired such taste for civilized
life that she refuses to go back, preferring
roast beef and strawberry short cake to
candles and blubber.

MoNETARy.-The week opened with
steady rates of money and good demand in
the cities, which keeps up an active trade
in paper. Good notes of manufacturing
companies for purchases of wool continue
feature in the market. The preparation
made for stringent market this fall by
the banks and the dullness of business
during the spring and summer will go far
to prevent financial trouble. Last year
a contraction was constantly going on in
the redemption of three per cent. certif-
Gates, which will not have to be met this
year.

Fourth OF July EnCiuenI.

Stephen Butler lives in Wcstvllc. and
owns farm. Mr.. Butler has had no par
ticular feeling against the Fourth Of July
as an anniversary. Friday morning he
was engaged milking one of his cows.
While thus employed, youth named Nor
gan, fired by the memcry of the deeds OF
his fathers, and having some pocket mon
ey, imagined the air was full of British,
and loading his gun with powder and
slugs, fired away at a few of them. The
COW Mr.. Butler was milking at the time,
was working up a new cud, and thinking
of the changes that had taken place in the
political and social affairs of the country
in the past ninety-six years, when the slug
from Morgan's gun came over the fence.
and ploughed into her hind leg, glanced
from the bone and dropped into the pail.
At this the COW stepped over to the other
side of the yard, and glancing back at Mr..
Butler with look of mingled astonish-
ment and reproach, which Mr.. Butler
failed to notice, being too busily engaged
in picking himself up, and otherwise en-
joying the stirring memories of the day
