ainst women. They have not the same

against women. They have not the same
rights of property with the husband. nor
have they equal legal custody of the minor
children with him. She had been invited
before Massachusetts legislative commit
tee to speak on the last named wrong. As
though the mother had not the first great
claim to the child! She at first thought
she " wouldn't bulge an inch," but for the
sake of the women, of whom many are
found around Boston, whose rights of
motherhood are trampled on by inhuman
fathers, she with others went. They were
given leave to withdraw and it for \
time seemed to her, that man did not care
for woman But she knew that true men
did regard the rights of woman, and the
meannesses of mean men could not hide
the nobility of good men. Women should
be given the same rights as to her proper
ty and her children, that her husband has.
Mrs. Livermore closed by relating the
story of the two statues, one of which
was to be chosen for a high niche in a tenn
pie. The one the populace first saw they
were delighted with it was of life size and
beautiful feature, but raised to its place it
was dwarfed, and was lowered as not fit
for its high position. The second statue,
of grander figure, was then unveiled, and
while the multitude We're yet amazed, was
raised on high to its appropriate place,
when its beauty proclaimed the hand of
the great artist. So the woman of the
future, large in mind and rounded in char
acter, will fill with honor the place assign
ed her by her Creator.
Village Hall was well filled with an au-
dience whose attention Mrs. Livermore
held intensely fixed for two hours. No
outline can give hint of the eloquence,
the pathos and humor of illustration, with
which the lecture was replete from begin
ming to end.

Mr.. French,s Silver Wedding.

The largest and, we believe, pleasantest
social gathering, so far this season in
Montpelier, was at the elegant residence of
James G. French, Esq, on the evening Of
December 18th. The reception had been
originally fixed for October 25th, to COM
memorate the silver wedding of Mr.. and
Mrs. French. Circumstances made neces-
sary a postponement, but this fact did not
seem to detract much from the interest Of
last Thursday evenings social entertain
ment.
The company was quite large, and be-
side most of the leading citizens of the
capital, included a number of people from
a distance. Conspicuous in the assembly
was the tall and venerable figure of Judge
| Underwood of Wells River. The large
and handsomely finished apartments were
thrown fully open and most agreeable
social intercourse was the order of the
hall came pleasantly to the ears of the
company below, and, later in the evening.
furnished inspiration for the devotees of
Terpsichore. In the rear parlor were placed
many articles of silver-the gifts of friends
and of townsmen who desired to give sub
stantial tokens of their affection and esteem.
After the refreshments had been passed
and the Inner man. had been abundant
ly satisfied, as many as could assembled in
the parlors to listen to remarks by Hon.
c. II. Heath, formally presenting to Mr..
and Mrs. French an elegant lea service of
solid silver-the gift of Il considerable
number of citizens who took that method
of marking their appreciation of Mr..
Frenchs public spirit and pluck in enter
prises which have benefited and improved
our village, no less than their high esteem
for the pair whose married happiness had
, already extended through a full quarter of
f a century.
Mr. French accepted the testimonial in a
brief, modest, and straightforward speech,
expressing his satisfaction that his labors,
, which had been referred to as resulting in
, substantial benefit to the place, had met
with so hearty an appreciation on the part
-, of his townsmen.
Soon after the speech making was
f through with the company began to take
, their leave of the host and hostess, though
quite a goodIy company remained until
g, near midnight, going through the g mazes
:. of the dance - to the sound of as goot
music as it is often our fortune to hear
And, by the way, it appeared that being
disappointed in getting 4 band nearer
n home, Mr. French went to St Johnsbury
: for his musicians, declaring with chara C
tcristic determination, that he would have
= some good music for the occasion if h,
+ had to get it from Boston.

There was hearing last week at Wood
stock before Governor Converse in regard
to the pardon of jeremiah +. Flanagan,
now in Washington County Jail serving a
of liquor selling H. X Field, Esq, rep
resented the case for Mr. Flanagan, and
Hon. G.. H. Heath was present, and oppos-
ed the granting of the pardon. 1t was
urged on the one hand that Mr.. Flanagan
was never properly sentenced before the
Justice, and that he had Il family dependent
on him for support. On the other side it
was urged that there was nothing in the
record showing of the sentence to have
been improperly passed; that Flanagan
was a persistent violatOr of the law, and
had not brought forth works meet for a
repentant man.
The pardon was refused by the Cover
nor, who thought it not warranted by the
facts of the case. 1t is evident that Flana-
gan's counsel have done everything posi-
BILE in his case, and that he has only him
self to thank for the unenviable position
in which he finds himself However Sc
we're the penalty which he is paying, il
could have been avoided by his forsakine
the unlawful traffic in which he was en-
gagged, and which he had repeated warning
not to pursue.

Christmas in Waterbury.

Christmas was duly celebrated by merry
gatherings in Waterbury.
The M. E. Church was beautifully deco
