On the 25th day of Dec, A. D., 1853,
the then Inhabitants of this town received
Christmas present in the form of char
ter, under the seal of King George H., by
the hand of Benning Wentworth, then
Governor of the Province of New HamI-
shire. Putney then consisted of tract OF
land five and one-half miles square, and
bounded as follows: "Beginning at stake
and stone on the bank of the Connecticut
river at the Northeast corner of Fullham,
and runs West 10 degrees North ON said
Fuiham TO Fane'~ East line, thei CO IN id
Fame aud Towusheud line till il CONES TO
the Southeast corner Of Westminster; from
thence down said river till il comes TO the
hound first mentioned" This tract was
divided into tfty-six equal shares; two
shares for the Governor, one share for the
"Incorporaied Society for the Propagation
of the Gospel in Foreign Parts" one share
in the township, one share for glebe for
the support of the ministry OF the Church
OF England. and one share TO Josiah Will
lard, aud one share each 10 the other fifty
patentees. The first meeting of the pro-
p.ietors of the town was held al the resi-
dence of Josiah Willard in Winchester, in
the Province of New Hampshire, on the
l4lh day of July, A. ID. l76l. On the lith
day of Nov. A. d. l7G6, Josiah Willard and
others obtained charter from Sir Henry
Moore, Captain General aud Governor OF
the Province of New York, for the same
tract of land. This charter Is now in ex-
istence aud in good state of preservation.

great deal is said nowadays about to-

explanations in regard TO its managemcn mt,
we naturally conclude that "some people

experience that it is comparatively easy to
tell how thing is done, but quite another

have noticed in the papers published in
different parts Of the State. that almost ev-
cry county on the west side of the noun
tain ifs its candidate, some of them two.
There are also some aspirants for the honor
even on the east side. First in order comes
Hon. Il. w. Park, of Bennington. The
only objection 10 him, as yet made
known, is some little difficulty or mi ,un-
Outstanding with lady known az Little
Emma" presume the lady is all right,
and'lhe whole nothing more or less than
an outright Islander. Next the name of
Hon. Bradley Barlow of st. Albans ap-
pears, objected to principally because he is
a wealthy man. Then his honor d. s. Taft
of Burlington, who Is favored by some be
cause he is not wealthy, objected TO by
others on account of his peculiar tastes in
certain directions. We also see TIE name
of Hon. N. T. Sprague, Jr, of Brandon
mentioned, and that's all about him. The
Montpelier Waterman and journal thinks
Hon. j.. p. Walton would make good
governor, were it not that his extreme mod
esty would prevent his being candidate.
Last, though not least, we see the name of
Hon. john j.. Mason of Richmond. The
question is frequently asked, Who is John
l.. Mason? He is a farmer living In The
town f Richmond, is member of the
present State Senate from Chittenden c0un-
ty, one of the trustees of the State Reform
School, a thorough business man, man of
brains and in every respect gentleman.
Vermont may do a much more foolish thing
than elect him our next governor; and l
hope the farmers will look wei to the fact
that there are men in the State lit to make
governors. who are neither lawyers nor
railroad men. FARMER.
