WILD GEEsE.-A shift of wind, several
days since, drifted large fields of ice into
the harbor at Port Kent, one of which was
made black by the multitude of wild geese
that had assembled on it, and who con-
tinued to enjoy this unusual mode of loco
motion until they had nearly approached
the wharf. Somewhat suspicious of the
course of their voyage, they then arose in
the air, and after performing their noisy
gyrations for a. short time, flew. to the
north and lighted in hundreds on another
cake of ice and went through the same
process, no doubt delighted with the
pleasant sail.

\ LARGE PROPERTY WILLED.-The will
of Mrs. Lucinda Cutler of East Montpelier,
relict of the late Nathaniel Cutler, Esq,
represents property variously estimated
from $4,000 to $4,000. In its provisions
and in subsequent codicils requests are
made to several relatives and friends, ag-
gregating the sum of $4,000. These be-
quests are in various sums, from 500 to
$1,000. The balance of the estate is to re-
main in the hands of the executor, Hon
Addison Peck, for ten years, when it is to
be divided among the heirs-at-law legally
entitled to the same. The codicils in some
respects change the provisions of the orig
inal will, and will not prove rs pleasant
reading to a few parties as would have the
instrument as first written. Mrs. Cutler
was over ninety years of age, and leaves,
we believe, no own children.

SUICIDE.-Reuben Smith of North field
last week endeavored to Kill himself
and died last Tuesday night. Mr.. Smith
was too estimablc Il man to have followed
the error of matrimony with that of sui
eide. His troubles began last October
when he married. (EIis wife Lurilla. had
obtained divorce from former husband
in the County Court about year ago.
Discord followed and became so bad that
- the church in RoXbury " took it up and
it is sufficient to say did not condemn Mr.
Smith. He brought a petition for divorce
this last term-ground, intolerable severity
but said on the stand he would take his
wife back then ifshe would live with him
He failed to get his divorce and his mind
was greatly troubled by what he thought
was the scandal attaching to the whole
proceeding. Friday night Mr. Smith
must have taken morphine for Saturday
morning he could not be awakened and
doctor was summoned and watchers were
obtained He was during the day greatly
under its influence but was guarded care
fully. Saturday evening which was, rs
all remember, 4 clustering one, he COM
planned that the room was too warm. and
the one who was watching went to open
some of the doors Of the house, away
from the sick room so that the air would
not come in too swiftly. On returning
Smith was gone He had opened the
window and jumped out undressed Us he
was. The snow was falling so fast and
with so much wind that it was not easy
to discover his track but he was soon trac
ed to the barn where he had concealed
some laudanum which he had taken before
being found. He was taken to the house
and means tried to prevent if possible n
fatal result from the new dose But the
second dose was too strong to be over
come and the result was that he died
from its effects

The Supreme Court of the United States
has just decided against the legality of the
practice of watering stocks by corporations
without the consent of their members If
the charter provides for such increase o
the capital, the stockholders vote in the
regular way is sufficient authority, but the
directors can only have such power by an
express act on the part of the members of
the corporation. The issue of additional
stock by part of the stockholders would
be as illegal as the increase of the capital
stock of Il firm without the consent of all
the partners. This is common sense, as
we'll as law, and is needed protection of
individual rights.

VILLAGE MEETING.-About a hundred
voters gathered at Village Hall last even
;no TO attend the adjourned meeting, which
WAS to hear and act on the report of the
committee appointed to report n plan for
having a new village hall. This commit
zee consisted of General Pitkin, Ebenezer
c,ribner. NJ. d. Gilman, F. S. Camp and
Trostus Hubbard. They reported in favor
ofmoyino the present hall back, and build
iro 4 new structure which would give u
b,ll about y by 40 feet in the audience
room The old hall would be used for ante
rooms and stage and the like. The esti-
mated cost of this proceeding was $4,000.
The necessity of better hall accOmmo-
Jations was urged by several, and the dis
rus,ion took quite a wide range. James
e. French made the leading speech in OPP
position to the project, on the ground that
the village does not to-day feel able to
build the kind of hall we ought to have,
when we do build. He was in favor of
letting along with the old shell till we
were ready to build such hall as was
wanted. where we wanted it. There was
some talk of an exchange Of the present
lot which will give hall only forty feet
wide. for the lot of Dr. Woodward on the
other side of the road, it having been
stated that this exchange could be made
for $1,000.
After a desuItory discussion, the chair
man. James 5 Peck, Esq, put the vote
on the adoption of the committees report,
and it was rejected, 80 to 81. The condi-
ton of the basement of the present hall
was then talked of, and General P1tkln
S,id il WAS not safe for engines or tiremen-
Mr.. Ellis moved that sum not exceeding
$4,000 be expended by the bailitfs IN re-
p,ir~. An offer WAS made to put in new
,ilI-. new floor in the basement. etc, and
to -hincIe the house for $500. Mr.. Atkins
moved to amend Mr. Ellis motion, by in
..rting $500 instead of $4,000 and Mr..
Ellis accepted the amendment.
Colonel Hopkins and others opposed
DOING ANYTHING to the old building, and
spoke in favor of some measure to have a
new hall. Colonel Hopkins instanced the
Theodore Thomas concert tonight at Bur
lington, as one of the things that are now
shut out from the place, and which many
