rocky bed, dividing the village into two
parts, and looking like a stream of silver,
comes the foaming and roaring waters Of
what is now called Sounding Water. Man
ufactures of oil kinds appear to line it
shores, and at the foot of it it pours over a
ledge of stratifed rock distance of thirty
feet and loses itself in the waters of Ticon-
deroga creek, which are finally emptied
into Lake Champlain.
Work on the new Congregational church
is progressing finely. The windows are in
and we trust that work on it will be CON
tinued steadily until 1t is completed
Our citizens are to enjoy a rich treat
Monday evening In listening to Halls cele-
brated band of Boston, whe give concert
that evening in the old church. Such en-
tertainments are not given us as often as
we wish they were and we are sure they
will be greeted by full house.
DR.. Amos II. Nickerson, who died last
Friday at his residence in this town, moved
to this place from Crown Point in 1889,
and since then has practiced his profession
here, most of the time. He was much re-
spected by his fellow citizens and in his
death one of the old landmarks of the town
has been removed. His wife is at present
confined to her bed by sickness
COLD WATER BATHS.
The ice on Lake Champlain is getting
rather thin, and cold water baths are Of
frequent occurrence. Last Friday as
Rileys band were coming to this place
with sleigh, when near Maple Point they
broke through, but were fortunate enough
to get out, although they and their music
books were somewhat soaked.
The same day Mr.. Sanborn sub-con

way from Whitehall here with a load O.
goods, went through but fortunately es
capped, and b w Burleigh of tho firm o
Burleigh and Marshall while enjoying

and he went into the water but providen
tally it was not deep water, and NJ dam

What hallowcd associations cluster
around that old and familiar name and
what one is spoken with more pride by our
people than the old historic name of Ii
conderoga, the scene of so many conflicts
in our nations earliest history, and for the
possession of which millions in treasure
was spent, and many lives lost.
AS we approach the place, long before
we step foot on New York soil, we see
rising before us, the ruins of the old fort,
the scene of the first victory for American
liberty but which now is nearly crumbled
to the ground, and just beyond it on the
same side rises old Mount Defiance lifting
up its bold and rocky sides
Nearly opposite of us is the point where
Ethan Allen embarked when he captured
the fort, (and almost at our feet is the
shore on which he landed and just be-
You'd the rugged cliffs of Mount Inoepen-
dence are clearly seen, while in the dis
lance the Green Mountains can be plainly
discerned, and as we gaze on the surround
ings, all around us, in Imagination the
mind runs back to the time when Ethan
Allen with his few companions coming up
on the English sentry, at early dawn cap
tured him, and demanded from the COM
mander of the post, its surrender, lin the
name of the Great Jehovah and the Cont
mental Congress and we feel as though the

lies the village. The greatest breadth of
the valley cannot be over mile, its ex-
tremc length not over five The ride from
the railroad station passes oyer hill and
through glen, and all around is scenery of
the most beautiful character. Near the
village we pass over Mount Hope with its
entertainments where Burgoyne's right
wing, painting and anxious, gained their
first confidence and foothold against the
fortress, and all around us is historic
ground
We pass through the field where Abcr-
crombie was defeated by Montcalm in
1868, the breastworks then erected by the
British being still standing, and board
nailed upon tree bears the following in
scrlption "The scene of Abercrombies
defeat in 1853"
AS we approach the village the first sight
that greets our eyes is truly grand. In the
distance the stately Adirondacks rear their
lofty crests, almost seeming to touch the

HOW SHALL III HE DISPOSED or


The occurrences of Saturday present a
financial question, which it will be well for
our citizens and tax payers seriously to con
slider prior to the coming annual town meet
ing. In the town OF Rutland, as well as in
all the larger and some of the smaller
towns in the state, an agent is appointed
to sell spirituous liquors for medicinal, me-
chanical and chemical purposes only
These liquors are the property of the
town; when purchased are purchased
by the towns money the money
derived from the sale thereof be-
longs to the town and the profits, if
any, are, or ought to be, paid into the town
treasury, and used in defraying the current
expenses of the town. The first report of
printed form, was made at the annual
meeting in March 1857, for the year then
closing. The reports of the ''liquor agents
for each and every year from that date to
and including the present year, show "a
balance of cash profit to the town after
paying the salary OF the agent and all eX-
penses while the reports of the treasurer
from the year ending March, 1859, with
the exception of three years, to and includ-
ing the prescut year, show that the whole
or n part of these profits have been paid
into the treasury where they properly be-
long. The amounts vary from five dollars
ii. ,I. o,11u 10 Lpt thran
and four hundred dollars. These are small
amounts surely, but they serve to show
two things. First, that there has been Il
net profit on the sale of liquors bought OF
owned by the town of Rutland, and that
sum-large or small-ha been applied to-
ward the payment of the current expenses
of the town. And second, although this
may turn ont to be a mere coincidence
that it has been the policy Of the selectmen
who have kind of general oversight oyei
the business, and of the several agents, &c
fix the price of liquors at such pei
centage of advance over the cost as not tC
involve the town in debt on the one hand
and, on the other hand, that it may, b,
sold, as near as possible, so that the tow
will receive no profit therefrom. This il
our judgment is true policy. We presume
that it is undisputed that this article il
sometimes needed for medicinal, mechani
cal or chemical purposes. If so, and as j
the case, its general sale is prohibited, am
the town is virtually made the agent TO
that purpose, it does it not for business
not for competition, not for profit, but Il
aid, assist and, it may be, relieve and
moreover, to remove one temptation to an,
the plea of necessity for violating the law
Whether it was wise or otherwise on tn
part of our legislators to compel, as
were, towns to embark in this business W
will not inquire. Neither will we inquir
whether 1t would have been better, safe
and cheaper to have followed the pre-
hibitory laws of some other states, an
while giving the town, or a special CON

zone OF the saddest Incidents OF the great
snow storm in Minnesota, was the death OF
seven school children on their way home from
school. Two were found frozen in each Others
arms, and another with his books under his
arm and little foot lifted for n stop"
From out western school house door
merry group came bounding;
They left the empty room behind
With shouts OF glee resounding.
For while the weary hours dragged by.
And they their tasks were plying;
cloud went drifting overhead,
And left the snow-hakes nying
They waded through the drifting snow,
Nor thought OF coming sorrow.
But laid their plans for ball and shot
And fort of snow-to-morrow-
Alas! for children out that night
Alas fol those who loved them.
For while the night hung black around
The snow lay white above them.
They tracked the little wandering feet,
That home should reach ah never.
They found them wrapped In snowy shroud,
But 'schOOl was out" forever.

Mr.. Hyde said he was strongly inclined
to think that the Delaware Il Hudson
Canal company would give the producers
relief, and knew they could well afford to
grant a reduction to $40 per car The re-
port of the road, lately made public,
showed that very conclusively. In that re-
port the net earnings and total receipts of
the road for the year are shown to be 81
965, S575s while the expenses were 81 ,062,
7S4 II, or only eleven per cent on the cost
of the road. The capital stock, after be-
ing doubled by watering was $4,000, 900,
leaving dividend to the companyin round
numbers of $500, 900. He also noticed that
company charged nothing for the transpor-
tation of their own coal which would make
adherence of some 5000 He thought
from his limited acquaintance with Presl-
dent Dickson that that gentleman would
treat the memorial in candid manner with
desire to meet the views of the slate deal
ers interested.
Mr.Hyde hoped to hear the views of those
present upon the appeal made by the COM
mittee, made fully and freely, whether the
