&C. ". Cutter lost q valuable COW a

death is a mystery.

"A number Of "our boys ia blue aud
several other citizens, attended the Sol
diers' Reunion at Rutland last week
AL speak IN the highest terms Of the Gu
joyabe and interesting occasion, and last,
but not least, Of the good treatment they
received at the hands of the Rutland peo-
pie.
The affair relative to our centennial
celebration, written by Colbert" is ex-
aggerated IN the extreme, when he speaks
SO expressively, cone Of the ten nights
in a bar-room" There was but very lit
tic intoxicaton, and the most of this was
caused by ''the boys" who brought their
own "grog." "Hoaor to whom honor is
due, is all we claim. Further particu-
lars in other journals.
Who does not like to live on the
mountains in the summer? It's luxury
to breathe, where the atmosphere is so
purel The pleasant bowers; the stately
piues, with the delicious and inyigorating
odor from them; the birds; the brooks /;
the hooks; the trout; the crystal water ;
the very rocks, we admire. Old Vermont,
our noble State, is celebrated for all this,
and our town (excuse us) stands to the
front, We thought Of all this, even while
spending a couple Of days in Albany, last
week Had we been compelled to have
remained there for any length of time,
during the cheated term we fear we
should have soliloquized eye crags and
peaks, ] long to be with you once again p
However, we enjoyed ourself, in COM
pany with other friends but the heat was
intense during our brief sojourn there.
On Tuesday we visited the capitol, and
had brief interview with his exoellency
Gov. Dix. The proposed new capitol,
which is now in course of erection, will
be mammoth and magnificent ediice
when completed, which probably will
not be until ten long years will have
passed away so we were informed by
the architect. Three years have already
elapsed since work was commenced in
laying the cornerstone. 1t covers Just
three acres of ground, and is being built
of marble and brick, at an expenditure Of
several millions Of dollars. A view Of
the city from the dome Of The present
capitol is rendered particularly delightful
and interesting. So we will close will
the assertion: We ought to have headed
this item, "Woodford VS.. Albanyr'
