The veteran soldiers have made the frs

The veteran soldiers have made the first
move toward the centennial celebration of
the battle of Bennington, by appointing
their next reunion at that place August 10,
1877. 1t is nvne too soon to commence to
prepare for that event, and the preliminary
arrangements could be placed in no better
hands than those of the veteran soldiers Of
Vermont. In looking forward to this
event, however, and the national centennial
next year, 1t should not be forgotten that
the centennial of Vermont will occur be-
tween these dates-January 49,. 1S77-the
anniversary of our declaration of ndepend-
ence. We cannot permit ourself to doubt
that this will he commemorated in an APP
propriate manner, and that the state itself
will take charge of the matter, making ar
rangements therefor at the next session of
the legislature.

DAnY GLOBE FRIDAY MORNING,

Miss Susan Thompson, Mrs. Sarah Shell
don, James johnson, Mary Barrett, L. P.
Howe, l. A. White, Peleg Griffith and N.
e. Nichols.
This closed the evidence in the case, and
after a short opening plea by Mr.. Everts,
the court took a recess until after dinner.
MR.. SHADES ARGUMENT.
The court was called at u o'clock, and
Mr.. Slade commenced his argument In the
case, which took about two hours, it being
an exhaustive and thorough argument the
whole evidence for the defense being re-
viewed. Mr.. Slade is an excellent speaker,
and the crowd of spectators were much in
terested, 1t being the first time most of
them had heard him speak.
Mr.. Everts was somewhat brief In sum-
ming up the evidence for the state and
closing argument. AT about 81 o'clock
the case was submitted to the court and
decision rendered.
DECISION OF JUSTICE SCOTT.
The court finds il his duty, on the evil
dence given in court, to hold the said G.
w. S. Porter for trial at the next county
court, to be held at Rutland in September
next Bail $1,000.
Mr.. Porter readily procured the requisite
bail. J. M. Slade and DIR. g. Billiard be
coming his bondsmen, and all left on the
4 o'clock train for the north, thus ending
the scandal trial here.
The trial was fair and impartial, fol
which much credit is due Mr.. Scott, the
| Justice. Mr.. G. S. Tabor by reques, sat it
council with Mr.. Scott Good order wa'
maintained IN the court room throughout
the trial, better than usual on such occa
sions. Much feeling and excitement has
been created by the scandal being the frs
| Of the kind here, and we hope the last
Mrs. Porter was present during and at the
trial. Perfect fairness and impartiality
was shown in all the decisions and ruling
of the Justice in the case, and his verde
no doubt approved of, and the public GU
riosity satisfied in having chance to hea
the trial. The scandal has heretofore beef
located at Dandy, but we wish to say tina
aside from the church trial held here
Dandy has nothing TO do with the case
The honor, if any, belongs to Brooklyn

amount invested in government securities.
The same would be true of all other classes
of money investments in loans always pre-
suming that the loan was amply secured
and the principal and interest promptly
paid-for how much money, during that
time, has been actually loaned at so low a
rate of interest as seven per cent per an
mum ? But resting the matter with the
savings banks, the custodian of the money
of the workingmen and women of the
country, we find that these persons with
small savings have actually received a
larger per centage on their investments
than the government bondholder, reducing
the investment and accumulations to a
specie basis.

SAVINGS BANKS AND BONDHoLDERs.

A correspondent of the New York Times
makes the inquiry sis lending money le-
gitimate"P-and to give point to it shows
that, in July 1864, ten thousand dollars of
the five-twenty bonds could have been,
and were, purchased at par in greenbacks,
gold being quoted at 257 per cent, at a
specie cost of thirty-nine hundred dollars,
and that either by redemption under the
present call of the secretary of the treas
ury, or by sale in the open market, per-
son, 80 purchasing, would have received
TOR his investment, principal and interest,
10 gold sixteen thousand six hundred dol
lars, being about three hundred and TWEEN
ty-five per cent. But the Times demolished
the argument by showing that, at the same
date, an individual with three hundred and
ninety dollars in gold could have purchased
one thousand dollars in greenbacks, depos-
tied the same in savings bank, and now
receive therefor-being paid only six per
cent interest-eighteen hundred and nine
ty-three dollars in greenbacks, purchasing
Herewith gold, at 113 per cent, fifteen hun
dred and ninety-two dollars-or fifteen
thousand nine hundred and twenty-five
dollars or about three.hundred per cent for
every tbirty-nine hundred dollars in gold
invested.
This computation of the Times is made
upon the basis of six per cent interest, but
IT we come home to Vermont, to Rutland,
we find that the average rate of interest
paid by our savings bank is, at least, seven
per cent-fve per cent annually and an
extra dividend once In five years averaging
two per cent per annum. A simple calcu.
lation will show that thirty-nine hundred
dollars in gold converted into greenbacks
In 1854 and deposited in the Rutland saw
ings bank would show net result, to-day,

II kilograms are to be believed, Secretary
Bristow is playing with the Boston post
master, the treasury Disturbing agent, the
contractor and all others concerned in the
erection of the new Boston postotfice, as
the cat does with the mouse. A dispatch
says that these men have thrown obstacles
in the way of inquiry, have denounced the
government agent, complained of him to
Washington and appealed to the secretary,
and that sat times the investigation has
ceased, but, just as the ring begins to
breathe easily, 1t breaks out again, and
the whole gano fror, p"rt down &c
thrown into state of the greatest ex-
element" These gentlemen need not
borrow any extra trouble. They can rely
on Secretary Bristow's doing the "square
thing" He will doubtless keep on play
ing until he has them in just the right po-
sition when, like the cat, he will pounce
down on them and end the little game.
The secretary may, at times, seem slow,
but he is sure-Oh, so sure.

THE MAN WHO SToPs HIS PApER.- Philip Gilbert Hamerton, in his admirable papers on Intellectual Life," thus talks to the man who stopped his paper" Newspapers are to the civilized world what the daily house-talk is to the mem- bers of the household; they keep our dai- ly interest in each other; they save us from the evils of isolation. To live as member of the great white race of men. the race that has filed Europe and Amer lca. and colonized or conquered whatever other territory it has been pleased to oc- cuPy-to share from day to day it's cares, its thoughts, and inspiration-it is neces- sary that every man should read his paper. Why are the French peasants so bewilder- ed and at sea? It is because they never read newspaper. And why are the in-. habltants of the United States, though scattered over territory fourteen times the area of France, so much more capable of concerted action, so much more alive and modern, so much more interested in discoveries of all kinds, and capable of selecting and utilizing the best of them? 1t IS because the newspapers penetrate everywhere; and even the lonely dweller on the prairie or in the forest is not intel lectually isolated from the great currents of public life which flow through the tele- graph and press"

gloss and freshness of yoatth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair checked, and badness often, though not always, cured by it's use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are de- stroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed; but such as remain can be saved by this application, and stimu- lated into activity, so that a new growth of hair is produced. Instead of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi- ment, 1t will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turning gray or falling of, and consequently prevent badness. The restoration of vitality it gives to the scalp arrests and prevents the .forma- tion of dandruff, which is often so un- cleanly and offensive. Free from those deleterious substances which make some preparations dangerous and inju- rious to the hair, the Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy lustre, and grateful perfume.
