with her share, flares up and makes a
sensation.
We hear good deal now days about
the divine nature of marriage, where
two souls are knit together in loving
and indissoluble union, and the sacrilege
of man in seeking to sever the marriage
bond. Now we think it may be safe to
say that this kind of marriage stands in
no danger from divorce laws and divorce
courts. 1t is only the ill-assorted man
made matches that are dissolved in
courts, and it is really in the nature of
an emancipation from the worst of hu-
man slavery instead of an interference
with heaven-born institution, and so
long as we find people tampering with
wedlock as a matter of convenience or
business arrangement, divorce DEGREES
will be necessary as a safety-valve of So
ciety. There is kind of retribution in
this matter and the person who marries
through unworthy motives, or uses
fraud or deceit to procure his marriage,
will generally suffer the penalty of his
treachery as he ought to do.
This Utah report would seem to indi-
cate that the union of the Mormon lead
err with this one-seventeenth of wife
was not of the divine kind, and we
hope Ann Eliza will be able to make
him see the error of his ways. She has
not had full opportunity to keep him in
hot water while she lived with him, but
she can make disclosures that will bring
him into sackclothe now.

The Soldiers Meeting.

We are glad to see that the press and
people of the State are so enthusiastic
over the grand reunion of Vermont sol
diers, to be held here August 9th, 18th
and 9Th. A reunion of this character,
including both officers and soldiers, has
never been held in Vermont; therefore,
let every town and county in the State
work hard and send its full quota to the
Grand Encampment. Let not any trivial
affair prevent the attendance of every
soldier in the State. The time is well
chosen, and everything portends an i'm
mense gathering at the appointed time.
Prominent soldiers and officers from
other States will be here to participate
in the exercises and add TO the interest
of the occasion. 1t is almost unncces-
sary here to say that the "reminiscences,
and old well-rememberod war scenes and
incidents, that this reunion will bringup,
will afford incalculable pleasure to the
old veterans and soldier boys, gather
ed once again around the camp fire.

The Union Services.

The Congregational church was filled
to repletion last evening, on the occa-
sion of the annual sermon and service
before the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation. The services opened with apre-
lude on the organ by Prof. Mietzke, fol
lowed by the opening anthem, "Heay-
emily Dwelling" sung as solo and quar-
tette by Mr.. Remmertz, as sololst, Mrs.
Meitzke, Miss Ruggles, Mr.. Bailey and Mr.
Remmetz, quartette. Then followed the
reading of the I'd chapter of second
James, by the pastor. The choir then
sang the hymn beginning, "Guide me
thou great Jehovah" followed by prayer
by Mr.. johnson, after which Mr. Rem
metz, the eminent New York basso,
who so kindly consented to assist at
this service, sang, cit is enough" from

metz gives an expression to the music OF

excellent one, very practical, and listen

When an individual finds that his
hopes of progress in worldly honors or
worldly goods are not keeping up with
his expectations, he is apt to cast long

the prairies, where enterprise and gump-
ton reaps large and immediate rewards.
We find that many who have kept pace
with the march of empire, look back
upon the home of their youth as hemmed
in with conservatism and conventional

A DIVORCE SENSATION.

That class of our people who are ter
ribly exercised because the Constitution
of the United States contains no clause
directly recognizing the existence of an
omnipotent Creator, and who think they
see an inconsistency in the laws of a
Christian country, where divorce from
the bonds of matrimony is granted for
other causes than adultery, now have a
new problem on their hands. growing
out of the Mormon question. Mrs. Ann
Eliza Webb Young, the seventeenth wife
of Brigham Young, has badly lacerated
that fractional part of her husbands
affections which were devoted to her, by
leaving his bed and board without just
cause or provocation, and taking with
her that part of the furniture and per-
sonal effects devoted to her use She
has employed three of the most eminent
lawyers of Salt Lake City to commence
proceedings for divorce, and the report
announces that great revelations are
expected in the domestic life of the
prophet.
1t will be a choice bit Of scandel to dish
up daily for morbid readers, when the
telegraph brings us the details of the pri-
vate family matters of Mr.. Young's
household, as they are detailed day by
day in court, and we seem to see the
clerk of the court in which the trial is TO
take place, scratching his head to find
the proper expression to put in the de-
cree declaring Brigham and Ann Eliza to
be no longer one flesh, but twain, and at
liberty to contract matrimony with
whomsoever each willeth. We are told
that Mrs. Young enjoys the sympathy of
the gentle ladies' why shouldn't she 2

fate for woman than to be married to

more sympathy than this seventeenth
traction of wife, who being dissatisfied

A TIP OyER.-Probably no one VINO
hoe lived in or visited Rutland at any
time during the past few years. but re-
members Peters old hack. Every gay,
rain or shine, cold or hot, long or SNORT
tax or anti-tax, that hack might be seen
on the street performing its accustomed
round of duties with Peter at the helm.
By its familiar and mournful look, It's
invariable appearance and its pre-histo-
rio associations it had become endeared
to our citizens as no other piece OF prop
erty ever could Everybody who had
ever taken ride in it-and who has not,
either as child, youth, middle-aged o.
gray-haired sire-felt lively interest in
it's welfare Especially during the ride),
and yet we have heard some of those
very ones, while entertaining sensations
of that ride which time would not eff
face, express themselves as highly pleas
ed at the sudden and tragic termination
of the brilliant career of this time-hon-
ored and useful piece of furniture. The
history of the town would be incom-
plete unless it embodied a history of the
vehicle.
But all earthly associations must soon
er or later be severed. We miss the
sight of the old hack. 1t has ceased to
appear, but in its closing trip it marred
what would have been otherwise an hon.
orable and useful career by an exhibition
of malice which, in its effect, would do
credit to the well-laid plans of willy
| ModOc.
In turning around on Main street,
Thursday night, while conveying num-
Der of passengers from the depot, Peter
tipped his hack over on its side, throw
ing the occupants, five in number, out,
and giving Mrs. Geo. Graves a blow so
severe as to break her collar bone. The
other occupants were not materially in
jured.
Peter is a very careful driver, but it
being an extremely dark night he ran
one of the wheels over a small stone,
about six inches high, breaking a spring
and thus tipping the hack over. Last
evening Mrs. Graves was suffering con-
siderably; but she was as easy as could
be expected under the circumstances.

BUSINESS ON LAKE CHAMPLAIS.- Du-
ring the month of June the total number
of clearances from Whitehall for the
South was 945, of which PA were boats
loaded with lumber, carrying in the ag-
gregate %, 312, 600 feet, and paying So
sos. rs for tolls; 612 carried in the ag-
gregate al, 797, COZ lbs. of ore, paying
$4, 563.23 for tolls; twenty-five were
loaded with iron, nineteen with stone,
four with general merchandise, three
with bones, two with leached ashes, and
one each with barley, gypsum, slaves,
lime and cordwood. -5.... 49,.
Estimating the tonnage of each boat
at one hundred tons, fair average, and
the weight of the freight amounts to
81, 500 tons Allowing ten tons as the
weight of car load of freight, it would
take 8, 450 cars to move it or 315 trains
with thirty cars to a train, requiring ten
trains each day for the month of June,
a business that it would take three such
roads as the Rensselaer, and Saratoga to
perform. .-t-.. ~. f..
In addition to this there were also
cleared for the South 1873 cribs of tim
Der, containing 1901 cubic feet, and
paying S454. IA for tolls. There were
!, 265 lockings of boats going North of
which there were about 500 loaded with
coal, carrying So, 900 tons To move
this amount of coal on the basis of cal
culation already, assumed, would require
1872 trains of cars, having thirty cars in
each train; or six freight trains a day
during the month of June, equal to the
capacity of two such roads as the Rens-
selaer 81 Saratoga. - Whitehall Times.

Experience with Ayrshire Grades

Bart. Whitney, of Franklin, Vermont,
writes to e. D. Sherman, of Clarendon
Springs, as follows:
g In order to satisfy myself whether it
was best to cross with the Ayrshires,
set the milk, the first week of June, from
one of the grades I showed you. Three
days of the time she was in pasture
where the water had failed, and she lost
four pounds to the milking. | then
turned her into pasture with water. At
the end Of the week | churned eleven
pounds of excellent butter, which was
five minutes in churning.
81 am confident that the COW with a
middling chance would make twelve or
fourteen pounds per week.

New ENGLAND AGRICULTURAL SooIE-
TY. The preparatory work has been
commenced upon Mystic Park, Boston,
for the holding of the next New Eng
land Fair, September ID to 9Th, inclusive.
The grounds are to be enlarged so as to
cover an area of eight acres nearly, and
are situated only three miles from State
street. Seats fer spectators are to be
greatly increased, and a grand covered
gallery built, capable of seating FIVE
thousand people. Several hundred horse
stables, cattle sheds and sheep-pens are
to be erectedat once, and when the work
is done, the arrangements for a fair at
Mystic Park will be fully equal if not
superior to any other before held by the
New England Society. Rev. W. FL. Fl.
Murray, of Park-street Church, better
known for his Adirondack fame than as
an agriculturist, perhaps, is to deliver the
annual address. 1t is confidently ex-
pected by the Executive officers that the
tenth annual fair will exceed in interest
any before held. We trust that Yer
mont will be well represented at this ex-
hibition.
