the enactment of II laY which shall require
prepayment on all newspapers and other

The critics are qnarreling with Victor
Hugo for inaccuracy in the reference to
Pitts forged assignats in his late novel,
NINETY Three ;" but Mr.. G. A. Lebour, of
the Geological Society, writes to the Athe-
nGum that the novelist is better informed
than his censors. He says:
May l reassert in your pages that the
plate from which the sham assignats were
printed is still in existence, and that the
paper mill in which the paper was made
and the subsequent processes of manufac-
ture carried out is still standing, althougfs
not working. The spot on which it stands
is on the banks Of one of the most beautiful
and least fraudulent looking Of English
rivers, and the fact that the assgnats were
forged there were specially mentioned by
me in paper printed in 1869 in the Aae-
ne4m, and entitled "Geologizing in North
Tynedale"

Mrs. Dodge and her two children. They drove ON
to the track in order TO get of the ground, and
as they allege, the marshal ID. W. Dudley or

The DARyMENs' ASSOCIATION We learn that
there is has been some talk Of holding the next
winter meeting of the Dairymens' Association at
st, Johnsbury, but that the president and secre-
tary, who were over there last week ON that BUSH
ness, think that the railroad connections are such
that the attendance Of the old members from the
west side must be too limited for successful and
profitable meeting, They accordingly prefer that
st. Johnsbury should wait till the Portland &
Ogdensburg railroad is extended 10 the Champlain
valley and the way opened for all who desire to
60 Meanwhile, we suggest 10 the farmers and
dairymen of Washington county that a proper
effort ON their part will secure the meeting here
the coming winter, and II seems 10 US that 1t is
worth trying for. There have been five meetings
all on the west side Of the stato-and at every
point where a meeting has ever been held the
people are anxious to have 1t again. The policy
Of the management Is to hold the meetings In new
fields and in reply to the question, "why not
come TO Montpeer?9 their answer has always
been, Because we have not been asked" The
annual business meeting Of the association Is to be
held here on the 2ist Of October ana we trust
Washington county will be prepared to extend to
the association at that time most cordial invita-
tion, accompanied by all necessary guarantees, 10
hold their meeting here In January, 1873. Gale
donia and Orange, rs well as the west side, would
all be well accommodated here.
