The society has very fine library, CON
tanning many rare and important books,
pamphlets aud newspapers to which it is inn
possible to do justice in the space Of a newspa-
per article Perhaps as interesting as any
is copy Of the first newspaper published
in the state, the Vermont Gazette, dated Mon
day, April ID, 1871, Vol. |, No. S, westmin-
ster Printed by Judah Paddock, Alden
Spooner and Timothy Green.
Thore are also files Of the Richmond wig,
during the time Of the rebellion. This also
was presented by Mr.. Leavenworth, who
was a Captain in the Ninth Vermont, and
was assistant proyost-marshal in Richmond,

The work Of the Historical Society well
deserves the assistance of every citizen of the
state. There are still extant many memo
rals and relics of the olden time which will
disappear if not stored in some safe place at
once 80 depository can be more secure
and gratifying than the library and museum
Of the Historical Society and it is to be
hoped that the next year will witness large
accessions to its treasures.
In accordance with suggestion from the
President of the society, that the librarian
shall cause TO be published in the newspapers
monthly statements Of additions to the col
lcctions Of the society, we append list of
such additions for the month Of November.

and Cabinet Keeper, to whose efforts much
Of the success of the society for the past two
years is due:
