NOTES OF THE EDITORIAL EN-
CVJRSUON,

The civilties of the citizens of Burling-
ton to the editorial fraternity on their re-
cent visit to that city were marked, and
gave evidence of the genuine and pleasant
hospitality of the Queen City. We enjoy
cd the pleasure of renewing the acquaint-
ancc of our old and genial friend f. w.
Peck, ESQ, and during drive about the
city many pleasing recollections came up
of the olden time and inhabitants. Accom-
bury CaLedonMn and C.. NJ Chase of the
Lyndon Union, visit was made to Lake
View cemetery, one of the most quiet
hooks and tastefully arranged burial spots
in the whole country, lying upon the lake
shore about midway between the city and
Rock Point, the site of the Vermont Epis-
copal Institute Here are the monuments
of many of the older and honorcd citizens
of the town whose names and labors were
identified in its laying out and upbuilding
what is now beautiful and thriving city.
The grounds of the University and State
Agricultural College were also visited, and
the residences of Col. Cannon Il. j. Phelps
and others. A short stop was mide at the
beautiful grounds and hospitablc residence
of Mr.. Peck, which is adorned with pleas
ing evidences of taste and works of art
The pleasant converse and courtesy of our
friend made the drive especially interesting
and agreeable to those whom he had ten
dered the opportunity of making his ac-
quaintancc and accepting his civlities.
Among those who escorted the various
members of the Association about the city
were Charles w. Woodhouse, Esq, cashier
of the Merchants National Bank, Mayor
Dodge, eX-Mayor ID. c. Linsley, Judge
Nathaniel Parker, Bennett Turk and other
citizens whose names we did not learn.
This pleasant feature of showing the city
to the visitors, was opportune on the
part of the committee and citizens of Bur-
lington, and none could have been more
agreeable to their guests.
One of the incidents of the trip through
Lake George is thus pleasantly told by
George II. Bigelow of the Burlington
Free Press md Times.
The principal interest of the afternoons
voyage was the narrow escape of our es-
teemed friend, Mr.. Chase of the Lyndon
Union, from watery grave. Mr.. c., who
was the tallest, if not quite the heaviest
editor of the party, dropped his fragile
frame into the life boat of the Ganouski,
which was hung near her stern the effect
of which was to almost turn it bottom side
up and throw Mr. Chase into about n hun
dred and fifty feet of water That excel
lent journalist, however, with the help of
his brethren, who were standing near him
at the time, recovered his equilibrium, and
swung himself gracefully back on deck
During the trip down the lake Captain
lIulett resigned the helm of the Ganouski
into the hands of his daughter, who show
ed the skill of an ancient mariner in the
management of the wheel, which was ac-
cepted by a majority of the editors and
ladies of the party as new evidence of the
doctrine of woman's capability for full and
equal rights in the employments of life as
a part of her mission in the world.
AT the closing business meeting on board
lhc steamer GanOuskl, ON FRIDAY, interest
ing speeches were made by Hon. c. w.
Willard, Hiram Atkins, J. w. Whcclock,
Justus Cobb, G. G. Benedict, and j. NJ.
Poland, upon the abolition of the franking
privilege and other postal matters.
The following resolution, introduced by
Henry Clark of the Rutland GLOBE, was
unanimously adopted

Publishers Association hereby tender its
hearty thanks to the citizens of Burlington,
