n We have received communication
from an indignant sympathiser in their
grief, complaining that IN our enumeration
of the inconvenieuoes and injuries sustain
ed by the people Of this parish, from the
judicial interregnum, We had left out the
most tantalizing, If not the most important
one, which was that NO marriages could be
solemnised without incuring the risk of the
Bynum penalty but that parties contem-
plating that joyful and sacred ceremony,
were left to gaze with longing eyes and lips
upon the luscious fruit 90 fair and near, yet
which they could not pluck. Well we must
admit we were inexcusabiy forgetful, and
can only urge selfish mason for it which
may be easily conceived, aad as the head
and front Of the offending hath that extent

ALLEN & DREw.-Among the many
enterprising business firms of Rutland,
it gives us pleasure to calls attention of
readers to the business facilities of the
firm of Allen & Drew, located on Mer-
chants Row. Few retail dealers in the
country can surpass either in extent or
variety, the stock now kept on hand by
them. They make speciality of ready
made clothing, of which their line is no.
ticeably full. The work is from the
hands of the best manufacturers, and
upon inspection, speaks for itself. In
the line of furnishing goods, this store
will be found we'll stocked with one of
the largest assortments to be found out
side of city store. Everything, too,
is stylish and seasonable and all tastes,
various as they are, can readily be suit
ed. 1t is as good place to buy hat as
can be found in days travel. Silk hats
are made a speciality of, while at the
same time there is every thing besides that
a man could wish, in straw, felt, cork,
etc, and caps in every style. In this
connection we might mention the extern
sive fur stock kept by the firm in their
season. Trunks and travelling bags, and
in short, everything to fit man out,
and set him agoing, will be found at their
place of business. The custom tailoring
department is an extensive one wit them,
and it will surprise many of our readers
when we inform them that this firm en-
ploys in this department, twenty-six
hands. This is a heavy force for this
kind of business, in this part of the
country. The coat makers employed
are all men. An artist-Mr. Novak-
presides at the cutters table.
Mr.. N. Allen of Burlington, the Sc
nior partner of the firm, has been CON
nected with the firm some twelve or fif-
teen years. During that time there have
been many changes in the other men,
bers. The managing partner now is Mr..
Drew, who has been connected with the
establishment about two years, and what
with Mr.. Aliens financial stability, and
Mr.. Drew's go-a-head business capacity,
they are now sure of good place in the
race for success. Approaching THE
HERALD as an advertising medium,
Mcssrs. Allen & Drew occupy half
page of our supplement this morning,
to which attention is invited.

KENDALL's PICTORIAL BALsAM-
advertisement of this celebrated medi-
cine, occupying a quarter page, will be
found on our supplement this morning,
to which we invite attention. The pro-
prietors of this medicine, Messrs. Fran
els Fem s. Co., of Rutland, are re-
ceiving orders from all sections of the
county for it. the sales to dealers alone
amounting within the last year, to over
forty gross. This medicine was for
many yeas know as ''Allen's Balsam, "
and had great reputation, the present
proprietors changing the name to ''Ken-
dal's Balsam." Most patent medicines
have run of one or two years, and then
are dead upon the market, but the con-
trary Is the case with this. Nessrs. f.
& Co. are constantly in the receipt of
certificates of the efficacy of the medi-
cine in diseases for which they recon-
mend it.

The High school Exhibition.

The exhibition by the scholars of the
high school, being the closing exercise
of the schoOl-year, took place at the
Town Hall yesterday afternoon. A
pretty good, but by no means sufficient
~ large audience assembled at 3 o'clock,
and others assembled after that hour
and disturbed the participants in the
progressing exercises not little by their
late coming.
The exercises were participated in by
the graduates, as they are termed, of the
high school, and by others not so far adj
vanced, the first having original pieces,
the others selections.
The programme was carried out as
published in THE HERALD yesterday
morning.
After music by n chorus composed of
school children, under the direction of
Prof. Mietzke, Mr.. Dana announced the
parts in their order
First was delivered the salutatory by
Frederic r. Bailey. This production,
an apt and appropriate one, written in
simple but expressive style, would have
done credit to its author had his delivery
been adequate to the occasion.
Miss Jane G. Holden followed in an
admirable essay, entitled "Eyes and No
Eyes, contrasting the person who is
continually seeking misunderstanding
about with mouth open, his tongue ready,
and his ears eager to catch every scrap
of informatiop-and his counterpart,
who mopes through life, taking things
as they come, and making no efforts to
better inform himself in any particular.
The distinct and expressive enunciatioH
of the reader was particularly noticea-
BILE,

entitled go! why should the spirit of

Sheldon.
Miss Lizzie A. Wyman's essay on
''My Grandmother's Piece Bag"
quaint, touching and peculiarly original
composition, was read in voice we'll
modulated though lacking something in
volume.
After music, James II. Owen delivered
defamation = washington" = and
showed that with little more culture
he will make fine speaker
The essay ''Study the Kitchen" by
Ednah G. Edison, proved that the young
lady had done that very thing. We feel
sure that the care of that somewhat es-
sential portion of the house will never
fall into disrepute while this young lady
is about. The paper was well read
James Meldon's defamation, ''Vindi-
cation from Calumny, selection from
Robert Emmet's famous speech before
execution, was an effort too great for
a schoolboy, yet was quite well done.
Miss Mary Dana's essay, with the
comprehensive title of Language and

ing, a depth of thought, and a critical
appreciation of the character of Ian

defamation, by John F. Merrill, was
quite well rendered.
&. Franc. Vaughan read dainty de-
scriptive bit of writing entitled 'sJune
Day, the piece breathing much of the
spirit of its appropriate title.
The " Educating Power of Fiction" a |
theme with two aspects, was quite ably
discussed in an essay by f. Louisa Al
len The writer's very sensible conclu-
sions were couched in choice and chaste
language, as though showing that on one
at least, this educating power had not
been lost. /

ROBBERY AT TIooNDERoGA.-At an
early hour on Thursday ewing last, two
men entered the room of a Frenchman at
Ticonderoga and took from his trunk

across the bridge, and went to the house
of Charles Banker, about three miles
from Orwell village, and told him that
one of them had been badly hurt by fall
through the bridge. He kept them all
night and they left early Friday morn
ing, intending to take the cars at Orwell,
but on going into the cars they found
the man they had robbed at Ticonderoga
there on the lookout for them. They soon
made up their minds they did not care
to go by railroad, and after the train
started one jumped from the window
and one from the door The train was
Immediately stopped and a party was
sent in hot haste after them. They soon

him back, the other getting away. They

The following is telegram which was
published in the Rutland Daily Globe of
Saturday morning. We print it oer6atim..
''NEw York, June 81.

We don't wonder Patrick McConn

Another telegram, in the same issue,

under the head of sRutland and Vicin-

The English of this we are not able to
give. We know that the best of news
papers occasionally make errors. Typo
graphical errors we are 10th to notice,
but these are something worse than that,
and are only specimen bricks of what
you find in almost every sheet issued by
them, and sometimes many of them in
the same issue. But nothing better can
be expected from the impracticable men
who run that machine, or rather who

in the case of the Globe, its readers are
few and, we learn, are getting beautifully

Indefinitely Postponed.

The bill for the removal OF the county scat OF
Justice from New Castle TO Wilmington was
called up in the Senate yesterday afternoon, and
after speech from Senator Riddle in its favor, a
motion TO indefinitely postpone the bill was made
and carried. This settles the question of the re-
moval of the Courts for some years TO come. VIC
are informed there but vote in favor of tic
passage of the bill in the Senate, although it had
previously passed the House by vote of l. TO 5.
The opponents Of the change Of the county seat
are greatly clated at their triumph, as well they
nay be. The decision only shows what energy
and perseverance can effect. The opponents OF
the bill have the same right TO oppose the meas
ure that its advocates had TO favor it, In advo-
eating its passage we were wholly influenced by
firm conviction that the removal Of the county
seat to Wilmington would be beneficial TO the
whole county, and the defeat OF the measure has
not served in any way 20 change or alter that
conviction.
