A NEW COUNTY.

The political divisions of county are,
or should be, so arranged as 10 promote the
greatest good of the greatest number of the
inhabitants thereof. First, We have the
territory which, when it possesses the
requisite number of inhabitants, becomes q
state and a constituent part of the Union.
The principle has always been recognized,
too, that when given territory becomes SO
large that the needs of its inhabitants are
not properly attended to, or that its citi-
zens are too remote from the scat ofgovern-
ment, or capitol, that II may be divided
into two or more states. Within the state,
the first political division recognized is the
county, and here, too, we find that large
counties arc often divided and other coun-
ties formed thcrefi0m, or new counties
erected from parts of other counties.
Counties are formed solely for the accom-
mediation of the people, and for no other
purpose. When old county divisions cease
to afford needed accommodations for the
transaction of the necessary business of its
inhabitants, then old county lines should
be altered or new counties established. The
principle is so well grounded, being so IN
accordance with the very nature of our in
situations, and being established by repeated
precedenls it, this state. that it needs no
argument To enforce it. We refer to it
now. because n petition is in circulation. to
he presented to the next legislature, asking
for the formation Of new county, en-
bracing some or all of the following towns:
"Plymnath Reading, West Windsor Lud-
low, Cavcndish, Baltimore. Weatherstield,
Springfield. Chester Andover, and Weston
from Windsor connty Rockingham Graf
ton, Whlham. Londonderry. Athens,
Westminster ana Putney, from Windham
county and Landgrove from Bennington
county and to so alter the county lines of
Windham, Windsor and Bennington coun-
ties as to conform t. The lines of said new
county, They urge that their present
county seats are off from the regular line
of tiavel. are only reached by crossing
"high and difficult ranges Of hills, that
their population and business is large, and
that they ''are most injuliously and unjust
ly delayed, Inconvenience, and burdened
with expense in the transaction 'of their
business before the supreme and county
courts" We believe that their complaints
are well grounded and that such new
county should be established. If any one
will take the trouble to make himself
familiar with the location of the several
county seats, the times at which the SEES
sions OF the different courts are held, and
the location of these several towns with
reference to their respective county seats,
he will at once see the justice of their re-
quest, and will only wonder that these
towns have consented, or been Suffered, to
remain so long in their present anomalous
condition.

North Bennington.

Saturday evening the Bennington cornet
band arrived by train about 8 o'clock, pro-
ceeded to the residence of George ii.
Simmons, judge of probate elect, and
treated him as well as many of our citizens
who assembled on the ground, to choice
selection of their finest music rendered in a
most excellent manner. The band boys
were most Hospitality entertained by Mr..
Simmons. A large bonfire was built in
front of his residence which brightly lit
up the scene for quite distance around,
while cannon manned by the juvenile
portion of the crowd present, contributed
its no small mite to the occasion.
While the band and few guests inclu-
ding Hon. G. +. Houghton, c. Thatcher,
jr., and other prominent citizens of this
village, were partaking Of a rich supply OF
eatables, false alarm of fire was given by
some individuals who could find nothing
better to do, which caused little commo
ton, although generally suspected to be as
it proved. The band was also over We'd

ST. JOIlnsbury,

Last week the Fairbanks scale company
manufactured 800 scales, including 70 large
hay, stock and railroad scales. Since the
opening of the year, they have run their
factory on orders. and at the present time
they are far behind their orders. The busi-
mes so far this year is in excess of any ex-
pectaton of the firm. 1t is a fact worthy
of note, and highly flatteriug to American
enterprise, that the manufactures of this
company have gained such a worldwide
reputation and sale. At the Royal agri-
culture show, held few weeks since in
Bedford, England, a silver medal offered
''for articles in which the judges think
there is any especial merit, was rewarded
to Fairbanks hay scale, or, as it is called
in England, Fairbanks "wcigh bridge fol
carts and wagons This, coming from
conservative England, in appreciation OF
American manufactures, and coming in the
way it did, must be considered the highest
testimonial of the merits of these scales.

My Dear Comrades Upon my return to
the city from a short leave of absence, i
found your kind invitation requesting me
to be present at the Second Annual Re-
union of returned Vermont soldiers at Bur-
lington, on the 25th to the 2Sth OF this
month.
| regret, most sincerely, that engage
ments which | cannot defer, will prevent
my ATTENDING the meeting My disappoint-
ment is the greater, ASH had expected
to be able to leave my affairs long
enough to be present on one or two days OF
the reunion, at least, or long enough to
greet those of my comrades in war who
should be present thereat. AS my hopes
in this regard, however,are wholly blasted,
desire through you, to be particularly,
and most kindly remembered to each and
every member of the old "1th," for which,
as YOU well know, | always cherished the
very highest regard and affection. The regi-
| ment was my pride and delight. Its dis
ciplne, efficiency, and bravery, was equal
to that earned by the bravest and best oil
many brave regiments sent from our be-
loved and famed Green Mountain state, Gi
| indeed any one regiment was superior to-
or eXcelled in bravery any of the others)
and its conduct in camp, on the march ano
in action, as well as in facing sickness
disease and death, in the pestilent swamps
of the far south, cnttle it to the highest
praise, and the noblest crowns. In fact
it may be Justly said that no regiment II
the service passed through such terrible
scenes of sickness, as did the 9TH. and M
regiment ever bore up more manfully Of
patiently under strokes of disease ant
death. Many were the times, as we sadly
remember, when those on duty were too
few, to even decently inter their dead com
rades, so rapid was the work of the fever
we were constantly breathing and inhaling
and from the effects of which, those of III
who now survive are not wholly exempt
happily, we ever shall be.
BY constant exposure, as never mel
were exposed before, in swamps and alonl
streams and bayous from which only tn
most poisonous exhalations arose, with II
medicines, and food and water of the poor
est quality il is not to be wondered at tina
men died ut the rate of two and three fror
a company day, and that the regimen
before it was six months old was reduce
to mere skeleton. Yet from the mer
handful which survived and passed throug
, this most trying ordeal formed the nucleu
: of that magnificent regiment which after

A Vermont Tragedy.

The Green Mountain State has lately
contributed very fully to the tragic an
mails of the period. Three or four fright
full murners have occurre within its bor-
ders during the last month. A special
dispatch from Rutland to the Troy Times
of Saturday, gives the facts, very briefly,
of another mysterious and CHASTITY affair
"a case of suicine-which is lacking in
no element of horror. A man who regis
tered himself as Q. V. Rollins, guest at
the Bardwell House, in Rutland, was
found in his room with his throat cut from
ear to ear. 1t was evident that he com
mitted the desperate deed with the great
est GOODNESS and deliberation. He had
seated himself in a chair and permitted
the lifeblood to flow into washbowl on
the floor before him. One extraordinary
feature of this horrible tragedy is found
in the fact that he left an incoherent
statement, written in his own blood, de-
nying completely in some murder which
nothing appears to be known. Numer-
Gus small scraps of paper written over in
the same way were found scattered around
the room. 1t was plain that the man
had permitted himself to bleed to death
slowly, and occupied his last moments in
writing these notes. At last accounts the
affair remrined mystery, and certainly
not even the morbid Imagination of foe
could conjure up anything moro CHASTITY.
