SUMMARY.

4 The true story of the. cas-. seems to be
about this Last fall the selectmen de-
cided to build a road about where the
north road now runs, but were prevented
|. from doing SO by a disagreement about
the terminus and connection at the Tim
mouth line. The south road had not
then been proposed, though the project
ed north road was opposed by some of
the people of Wallingford, and their
opposition has developed at last into the
south road scheme. A firm or company,
|. of which Mr.. Franklin Post is the moy-
ing spirit, propose to build a furnace in
Wallingford village at a point known as
the Flat, and in order to bring the iron.
ore from Tinmouth they want the north
road. Wallingfold people baye taken.

and are not far from being equally di-
.vided, while Tinmouth stands as a unit
for the north route. The north road
people circulated subscription paper
and obtained the signatures of'one@@ss hun
dred and ffty-two Wallingford taxpay-
ers, representing about one7half of the
grand list and half of the number of
voters usually attending town meeting,
and thirty seven Tinmouth men attached
their names to the paper. Tie amount

the building of the.north..road aggregat-
ed So, ,525, and bond in $4,000 to Sc
cure these subscriptions was of
lfered by responsible parties. On
the other hand the friends of
of the south road prepared petition
and obtained seventy signatures. They
were also prepared to offer bond to Sc
cure the bona fide building of the road
and did afterward make it, as we have
stated, to back the offers of contractors.
Considerable feeling is manifested in
this question in Wallingford, and the
hearings have been numerously attended

THE FORTUNES OF OUR PRESIDENTS. =
Washington left an estate worth nearly
100000.
The elder Adams left moderate for
tune at his death.
Jefferson died comparatively poor. If
Congress had not purchased his library
at price far above its value (S2O, ,OO0),
he would with difficulty have kept. out
of bankruptcy at the close of his life.
Madison saved his money and was
comparatiyely rich. The fortune of his
widow was increased by the purchase OF
his manuscripts by Congress, for the
sum of $50, 900.
James Moore, the sixth President,
died so poor that he was buried at the
expense of his relatives in a Cemetery
between Second and Third streets, near
the Bowery, in New York city.
John Quincy Adams left about $780,
900, the result of industry, prudence and
a small Inheritance. He was methodical
and economical. sroa-es -4sf.e-asT
Andrew jackson left valuable es-
tate, known as the Hermitage, about
twelve miles from Nashville, Tenn. q
Martin Van Buren died rich. His es-
tate was estimated at nearly $500, 600.
James x. Polk left about $3.50, 900.
John Tyler was bankrupt when he
became President. He husbanded his
means when in Office, married a rich
wife, and died wealthy in worldly for

HOW Young Wen rail.

There is Alfred Sutton home with
his family, to live on the old folks, said
one neighbor to another. SIT seems hard
after all his father has done to fit him
for business, and the capital he has in
vested to start him so fairly. 1t is sur
prising he turned ont so poorly, He is a
steady young man, no bad habits, so far
as know he has a good education, and
was always considered smart; but he
doesn't succeed in anything. l am told
he has tried a number of different kinds
of business. and sunk money every time,
What can be the trouble with Alfred, ]

my boy to take his turn. ''Alfred is
smart enough, said the other, ''and has
education enough, but he lacks the one
element of success. He never wants to

Musical Entertainments.

A ''musicalr held last Wednesday
evening at the residence OF Mr. James
Gilmore in West Rutland, under the d.
rection of Miss Mary Gilmore, furnished
pleasing entertainment for the friends
there assembled. The young ladies
comprised in the class exhibited vocal
proficiency considering the time they
have been under tuition) that not only
reflected credit upon themsel YES, but
spoke obviously in the teachers favor.
A well chosen glee and a solo obligato
were sung with charming effect. A

by Mendelssehn, was very sweetly rem
dered. save Maria" very difficult
piece by j. nj. Deems, was sung by
three young ladies of the class, and
clearly showed careful training on the
part of the teacher and personal appli-
cation on the part of the scholars. BY
request, Miss Mary Gilmore favored the
audience, selecting bid me to live" by
Hatton, and the admirable manner in
which she rendered it, fully entities her
to the reputation she has justly earned
and the position she takes as a teacher.
As Miss Gilmore continues, to advance
in her musical career, she will in cor
responding ratio receive the best wishes
of the people of West Rutland, not ex-

UNPRECEDENTED LYING.-1nc OCOOe,
since its reorganization in its editorial
department, has taken from bad to
worse in its morals, and has gone into
course of unprecedented prevarication
and unmitigated falsehood, not equalled
by any journal we can name at the pre-
sent writing. 3
The man at the wheel (if there is one)
seems to be entirely destitute of honor,
and is shameless. Now, the last series
of lies of particular note are the ones in
the Globe of Monday last, referring to
report of the Pittsford Monument
Dedication. Hear them:
IF DIR. Caverly ever intended that
any one but the Globe should have his
address, he never so said or intimated,
and any such idea, if one is now enter
tanned, must be the result of an after
thought"
As to this extract from the Globe, we
would state that we have a letter from
DR.. Caverly, which, were it not marked
private, we would publish to expose
them. The Doctor says, among other
things, "I considered you had equal
rights in my manuscript.
The Globe reporter did understand in
the exchange of courtesies, that we con-
sidered ourselves entitled tc this address,
and we had no thought that there was
different understanding, and that the
HERALD would have the manuscript
when we wanted If. We have no doubt
now that the reporter of the Globe did
so understand it then, and does now,
though it seems that the 8. Chief sees
fit to have his say in this matter, regard
less of truth, as he did in the. recent
comments ON Rutland Firemen, and
their 18th of August excursion, when,
had he let this same reporter open his
mouth, he could have told different
story, because he was there, and the
'sChief was not -
The disposition ofthe animal is shown,
surely. They have shown what they
would do If they could. We are remind
ed of the courtesy of a Globe reporter in
coming the grab on a manuscript belong
ing to lady in Castleton, of which We
made note at the time, and carrying it
off against her protest. Is this decency
1t is far from it in either case under con
sideration.
Hear them again;
(. ''Their whole report, moreover, ex-
cepting Colburn's speech, was obtained
at the Globe office, and through the
courtesy of our reporter.
Now an emissary of the evil one could
not eoncoct a more unmitigated false
hood. The concern must be getting
desperate in their frantic efforts for an
existence, to resort TO any such course as
this, and it viii, sooner or later, kick
back with tremendous force. The HER
AID had good reporter at Pittsford,
and we did not depend upon the Globe
for anything, but there was a courteous
exchange between the reporters in sew
eral things. We had the best report of
the affair, and the most correct one that
was published, and the public appreciate
it, as compliments from various sources.

ADVERTISED Under the head of
Newspaper advertising" the Louisville
CoetrSer-JourndL asks why anybody adj
vertises in newspapers, and gives the
following sound and simple answer as
to why business people advertise and the
principle of advertising obviously
this, that he wants to sell goods that
he wants. to hire a 'help' that ne wants
either assistance or, custom, which, in
his own private walk in life, he cannot
readily come up with. Why, then, does
he advertise? Because he cannot come
up with his want Very well! where
should he advertise in order to give him

OUGnr GIRLS TO Court ?-We have
often thought (for editors never speak
from experienee) that a young fellow
must have a good stock of assurance
nav, of DOWNRIGHT impudence-to go
through the ticklish, terrible, torturing
ideal of eourtship. He has not only to
run the gauntlet of sneering young gen
tlemen, but also the gauntlet of gossip
ing young ladies to be talked of and to
be the mark of watchful observations,
for the whole neighberhood in which
his fair one resides. Nor is this all. If
his addresses are only acceptable to one
member of the family, and that member
the depository of the garnered up love
of a whole life, he is sure to meet the
savage glances of savage brothers, and
is as sure to encounter equally hattering
manifestations of paternal, maternal or
fraternal opposition. Now this is all
wrong. The exchange should be more
equalized. When we shall hear of young
ladies paying their addresses to young
gentlemen, inviting them TO ride, to
walk, to dance, TO sing TO eat ice cream,
and as soon as matters are brought to an
interesting crisis, popping the ques-
