81. Adams Correspondence.
The week has been dull and OCCASION
ally warm; dog fights and newspaper civ
tiles at discount and the public much
given to lounging out of doors and basking
in the soft summer sunshine which is so
sweet and, alas, so fleeing. The only ex-
element (and that very small one) which
has disturbed our laziness and serenity was
the fire in the railroad wood shed Friday,
that would have been a very rapid affair
but for an element of interest infused into
were very young and feeble when the de-
partment arrived on the scene of action
and were completely drenched out by the
time the first detachment of hook and lad
der men got up on the roof, and for want
of other material the hose boys commenced
to play a very fine stream on them, which,
although the air was warm and the water
cool, for some reason didn't seem to please
the hook and ladder chaps, who made some
the proceeding in terms which we regret
to say were too much spiced with profanity
for the columns of your paper recon-
ciliation was effected however and every
body went home happy. 1t is said that one of
the men who occupied prominent posi-
ton on top of the shed succeeded without
difficulty in convincing his wife when he
went home to tea, that a locomotive boiler
had "busted" while he was sitting on it. If
this is true, it was cruel and shameful
hoax and ought to be severely commented
on by Miss Susan B. Anthony. The loss
by fire was very small, but the damage
by water will be severely felt in family cir
Giles for many long day to come.
SUMMER VISITORS.
The Weldon House is well filled with
pleasure seekers and families generally are
entertaining city guests. We learn also
that the summer hotels in Sheldon, High
gate, Alburg and other places near us are
filling fast. Picncs at the Bay and High
gate Springs are Of almost daily occurrence.
party will leave here early in August for
a week OF two of camping on the shores of
Lake Memphremagog.
We notice the Burlington Sentinel says
Judge Adds and family are here. This is
little premature, as we understand they
are en- route but have not yet arrived. The
family of Chief Justice Waite is still at the
Weldon, but the chief justice himself is alb
sent for little time on business.
AT SARATOGA.
Quite a number of our citizens are in
attendance on the boat races which hang
fire SO at Saratoga.
REJoINDER.
We are sorry to notice that the editor of
the Messenger, who SO recently painted on
his banner the words principles, not
men," being unable to controvert few
simple facts stated in our last letter which
were not grateful, has been compelled to
resort to the pitiful expedient of "answer-
ing" them by the publication of vulgar and
false personalities. True it is no more
than might be expected from the general
course that paper has pursued of late, but
still it is painful to see consistency, gentle
manliness, truthtulness and ability, falling
from their high estate. We don't wish to
say anything more than we can help upon
this subject but it is perhaps meet that we
should simply characterize each and every
personal statement in the Messengers ar
ticle concerning us, as utterly and unqual
iiedly false. And further: Since our
memory reaches back, even so far as the
halcyon days at Montpelier to which the
-1rgaS sometimes playfully alludes draw
ing from the Messenger an humble plea for
the divine right of repentance, we Ger.
tainly remember the nomination five years
ago, to which we are cited. We remember
that the man who was then nominated over
the candidate of st. Albars, was nominated
not only without word or effort on his
part but against his wish and protest, be-
cause best knowing the needs and advan-
tages of the eastern portion of the country
and having its interests deep at heart, he
could best represent it upon the question
then at issue, the construction of the Miss
isquoi railroad. We remember that he
went to the senate at personal inconyen-
fence and sacrifice in response to the
urgent call of his constituency, and his
children will never have to remember that
he trod the floor of that senate with the
brand of a SANDER or falsehood upon his
forehead, and it will be well for the now
senatorial candidate not to remind the con-
stituency for whose sutfrages he has sue
cessfully begged that just SO far as he
dared to go, he has for almost two years
been casting siurs upon the unsullied name
of this other candidate of theirs, lest they
should chance to make mental comparisons
between now and next September.
THE PIN-nooK MAN.
A young gentleman who went trout fish
ing at Montgomery not long since met with
very hard luck. He caught plenty of the
