No cause however pure or meritorious, or
sacred it may be, can promote its advance
ment, or be commended to the good sense
of the community, by such a wanton and
disgraceful attack as that made upon a re-
spectacle and estimable lady-NIrs. s. f.
Page--in the Rutland Herald of Saturday,

cowardly act. Why did not the sneak
sign his name as frankly as did the lady in
her card to the public?

Hired men are securing places for the
ensuing year, and though the finances of

The receipts of the Cambridge station on
the Rutland & Washington railroad were

In another column will be found the
words of the Boston Journal on "the duty
Of the hour" Does any one doubt the
loyalty or republicanism of the Boston
Journal? We suppose the Rutland Herald

democracy and rum" which seems to be
favorite phrase with cringng journalism.
