A Startling Commu nication.

FAIRHAvEN, Dec. %.
Editor Rutland Herald 1t seems to
us here that business of some kinds must
be very slack in your town. Within q
short time we have been favored with a
visit from John w. Cramton, proprietor
of the Bardwell House, who has been
canvassing this town for the Globe.
We would some of US like to know
whether the hotel business is poorer
than the publishing business, or whether
Mr.. Cramton is permanently out of the
former. SUBSCRIBER.
N B-Mr. Cramton is not credited
with having very good success here. So
far as we have learned he will not be
encouraged to leave his hotel permanent
ly unless he has already done so. S.
REMARKS. have been intensely
astonished, grieved, and alarmed at
these tidings of our subscriber - as
tonished because we had come to be-
lieve from the Globes prospectus and
daily announcements that its force of
book-keepers was crowded to the last
limit in recording its subscribers, who
daily and nightly jostled and pushed and
fought around its doors to get their
names on the books-astonished we re-
peat, because it had found it necessary
to employ canYassers at all and most
of all amazed that John w. Cramton,
gentleman supposed to be wealthy,
should have engaged in an employment
so uncertain as that of an agent.
And then we are deeply grieyed and
panied if indeed Mr.. Cramton's business
prospects are so precarious as our cor
respondents letter intimates.
And then again we are alarmed for
ourselves, and with reason, if to the ex-
traordinary excellencies of the Globe Gas
duly set forth in its prospectus) we ado
the recognized business ability of Mr..
| Cramton as a Canvasser.
- Just at this discouraging point we
were interrupted by our friend Mr.. Bob
bles, who suggests that after all it prob
ably is not John w. Cramton who is re
ferred to by our subscriber. Mr.. Bob
bles is certain that it must be A. J
Smith, ESQ.,, who is meant. This seems
quite probable when we consider how
much Mr.. Smith resembles Mr.. Cram
ton. Indeed no person In this town cal
distinguish them one from another.
This relieves our mind.

The Rutland Herald
FOR 1874.
THE LEADING VERMONT NEWS
PAPER. ea--

The Rutland Daily and Weekly HER
AID for the coming year will be made
especially interesting and valuable. The
managing publisher and editor has had
many years experience in the newspaper
business and proposes to relax no efforts
on his part to make the HERALD con-
tinue in the future, what it has been in
the past, the leading newspaper of Yer
mont. No expense will be spared in
editorial work, and the collecting of
news, by telegraph and otherwise,
promptly and fully. Extensive arrange
ments are perfected for local cores
pondence from all the principal towns
of Western and Southern Vermont and
Essex and Washington counties, New
York. Also for Washington, Foreign
and Western correspondence, etc. One
of the features for the coming year will
be a special weekly letter to the HERALD
from New York from the celebrated
''Nasby," on current events in that city
and elsewhere, which we expect will be
looked for and read with eagerness each
week.
The full night Telegraphic Reports
of the associated press are received for
both Daily and Weekly HERALD, up to
the very hour of going to press, besides
special Market and Stock Reports, latest
dairy markets, $50 valuable to every
farmer specially prepared for the HER.
AID. Only one other paper in Vermont
(and that not in this section takes these
special telegraphic market reports be-
cause of the expense.
In politics the HERALD, as heretofore
will be Republican. While it will give
no blind adherence to party, it will, as
was demonstrated in the last campaign,
stand up at all times and under all Cir
Cumstances against men or combinations
of men in the interest of demagogism
who attempt to break that party-that
party of progress and reform-the Re
publican party. But while the HERALD
advocates the principles of the Republi.
can party firmly, it does not propose to
make itself offensive in their advocacy.
In short,the HERALD aims to be rleaDS
paper, paper that shall be prompt and
/ full in passing history, taking decided
! and high grounds on all moral and pc
/ litical questions; to be a readable, in
structive and entertaining newspaper fol-
the counting room and for the freside,
1t holds that no journal has an excuse
/ for existence that does not labor to make
life richer and happier for every mar
and woman that reads it.
The HERALD offers no bait for sub
scribers in the shape of premiums o.
clubbing with other papers or journals
which is nearly always an evidence OF
weakness, and is always done at the ex
pense of the subscriber. 1t stands OF
its own merits, and will give the full
moneys worth to all its subscribers.
The Managing Publisher gives his close
attention to the business department, anC
will constantly be on the alert to keeE
the HERALD in the front rank of jour
nalism. He will be assisted in the Edi
torial department by able writers. w
hope to receive a renewal of patronagt
from all patrons of 1878, and have rea
son for hoping for a large accession Of
new subscribers to our list for 1874.

CHRISTMAS EVE SERylcEs.-Seryices
appropriate to the day were held at the
Episcopal church last evening, by the
rector, Rev. w. ]. Harris, d. D. The
church was appropriately and beautiful
ly decorated with profusion of ever
green. On each wall were hung two
shields with the inscriptions in old
English text: King, Messiah, Jehovah,
Saviour. Each window was surrounded
with a wreath of evergreen. A
large evergreen tree stood in each
corner. The chancel was surrounded
and decorated with evergreen, which, in
the rear, eliminated in and surrounded
painting of the Incarnation. From
each gas fixture was suspended a
wreath. The memorial tablet of Mrs.
Fisher was also surrounded by wreath.
The service was opened by the choir
singing the anthem, "Let every ear re-
joice and sing" The rector then read
the evening service, appropriate to the
day, after which he offered prayer.
Then came choral singing by pas
tor and choir. The rector then read the
first lesson from the 9th chapter of
Isaiah, after which the choir sung a
cantata from the "Crown of Praises. !"
The rector then read the second lesson
from the 4th chapter of the First
Epistle General of John, which was
followed by the choir singing "Benedic
Anima Mea." Prayer was then offered,
after which was sung the 18th hymn,
beginning
clark the herald angels sing
Glory to the newborn King"
The rector then preached a sermon
eminently appropriate to the occasion,
taking his text from the 18th chapter
of Exodus Goth verse, "What mean we
by this service The choir then sung
hymn 2Sd, beginning "Shout the glad
tidings." After which prayer was of
fered and the benediction pronounced.

A PLEASANT SITUATIoN.-Our young
friend Parker went around the other
evening to visit the two Miss Smiths.
After conversing with them for awhile,
Miss Susan excused herself for few
moments and went up stairs. Presently
Parker thought he heard her coming,
and slipping behind the door, he sug-
gested that the other Miss Smith should
tell Miss Susan that he had gone. But
it wasn't Susan it was old Mr.. Smith
in his slippers. AS he entered he looked
around and said to his daughter
''Ah, hal So Parker's gone, has he ?
Good radiance. / was just coming
down to. keep my eye on him. ] hope
he hasn't been pfoposin to you, Mary
Jane. / don't want any such lantern
iawed, red-headed idiot as that fooiin'
round here. He hasn't got the sense of
rutabaga turnip or money enough to
buy clean shirt. He gets. none of my
daughters. III shake the eYerlastin' life
out of him if catch him here agin, mind
me-" ...:l. ..s.
Just as he concluded, Susan came
down, and not perceiging Parker, she
said: =. ~, 81
'sThank goodness he's gone. That
man is enough to provoke a saint. ]
was awfully afraid he was going to
stay and spend the evening. Mary
Jane, / hope you didn't ask him to come
again?'
Then Parker didn't know whether to
stay there or to bolt, while. Mary Jane
looked as if she would like to drop into
the cellar. But Parker finally walked
out, rushed to the entry, seized his hat,
shet down the front steps and went
home, meditating upon the emptiness OF
human happiness, and the uncertainty
of Smiths. He has not called since, ane
his life thus far has been anmolested by
the head of the Smith family. b .....,.

The Missing steamer Pictou.

HALIFAX, N. s., Dec. "a.
A letter from Pleasant Bay, Inverness
county, c. B., furnishes the following,
which may throw some light on the mys-
terry in which the fate of the missing
steamer Pictou is involved. On the 18th
of November a great light was seen
northwest of Pleasant Bay, probably
near the east point, Prince Edward ISL
and. Three or four days later the straits
were visited by heavy gale, and con-
sequent high sea. A quantity of -four
and dough, and burned stores in album
dance were distinctly seen in the bay,
but owing to the rough weather nothing
could be saved. Part of the cabin, hay
ing "officers' room" in large letters on it,
was picked up. The words ''we are ten
yet alive" were cut in the panels with
some sharp instrument. On another
beam which was washed ashore was cut
in plain letters "Only one man left. "
Another board came on shore inscribed
as follows /: SIS any person will find any
of our bodies we trust you will bury
them decently." A boat twenty-five
feet long has been found in the bay of
st. Lawrence, G. B., and the remains of
another were washed ashore west of this
place.

A PRESENTATION TO JOHN MCINTYRE.
The employees in the Central Yer

the occasion took place at Mr.. MGIn-

mer streets last evening in the presence
of some forty persons mostly contribut-
ors to the testimonial.
The address in behalf of the present
ors was made by Mr.. Henry Clark. AT
its close the unexpected feature of the
evening occurred in shape of Mr.. McIn-
tyres responsive address, which that
gentleman had carefully written out and
which he submitted to Mr.. Henry Clark
to read. This done the formal exercises
were over.
The chain was from the factory OF
Baldwin, Sexton s. Peterson, and was
bought of Messrs. Marshall & Cady. Ii

RECOVERY OF STOLEN PROPERTY
Last week we noticed the arrest by Of
ficer Crawford of a Frenchman answer
ing to the name of Morris, charged with
stealing axes from the Rensselaer, and
Saratoga Railroad Company, and also
having in his possession certain articles
proved to have been stolen from parties
in Burlington. Their police officers hear
ing that the culprit above named was
only one of an organized gang of thieves
and robbers operating between Troy and
the Canada line, and believing that the
gang had a rendezvous in the north
part of that city, on Saturday last off,
GERS Lamora and Wight made search in
a suspected house, and therein found q
valuable wolf robe stolen from the
sleigh of DR.. s. P. Thayer over two
weeks ago. The robe was brought from
the Northwest by the doctor last year,
very highly priced by him, and he was
heartily glad to recover it. III.
