FROM OUR AGENT.

ssoHoM1sH CITY, Sept. 20, 1875.
Our little burg was greatly excited the
oAher day over no less an event fthan a
case in cur justice court. 1t seems that
several of our Oldest settlers came down
the river and happening to meet at the
upper end of town, toward evening,
went into Mr.. Matthew's saloon to take
q drink and being in very good spirits,
were not quite as quiet as they might
have been. This raised the ire OF
gentleman living near ut hand and he
forthwith went out and expostulated
with the gentlemen in a manner not
very edifying to them. This having no
marked effect, the next day he had them
arrested for riotous and disorderly con-
duct, creating great excitement. Prot.
Morse stood for the prosecution and
Mr.. Matthews for the defence. Several
witnesses were called on both sides, in
oluding some ladies. The testimony
went to show that the prisoners were
doing no more than any other set OF
men would do under the same circum-
stances. His honor, Judge Writers, not
withstanding the legal thunder of Pro-
fessor Morse. said that he thought the
complainant was slightly in error and
that he could not see anything to con-
yict the prisoners for or bind them over
to the District Court. Thus was our
Grand excitement ended.

T As an example Of extreme severity
with which petty larceny is punished in
England, the case may be cited of an
old woman Ga years of age, who. for
stealing half-penny worth of coal, was
condemned to fourteen days imprison-
msot with hard labor. There was but
one witness against her, and his testi-
mony was by no means conclusive.
The woman was staggered by the sem
tence, and left the court crying bitterly.

was once coined in Dundee, this journal
states that the rarest specimen known
of the local mint is unique silver half
penny of King Robert II, in very good
preservation. 1t is only one of that
reign known to be in existence. and is,
further, the only still existing half
penny coined at Dundee in any reign,
The coin is not much larger than her

Incendiary Fires.

A correspondent of the Springfield Re
pulicaan says of incendiary fires "lncen-
diary fires are numerous all over the state,
and in some places are exciting much
alarm, so that both farmers and villagers
dare not leave home, or intermit the daily
and nightly watch over their property. A
considerable proportion Of these fires, how
ever, must be charged to the chronic want
of care in building chimneys and putting
up stoves, which always increase the list of
country fires at this season. Some, too,
are due to desire TO realize insurance
but there are too many others that must be
charged to tramps and local incendiaries.
One of our farmers recently missed meal
from his barn, and betN cen the door and
the meal bin picked up seven burned frag-
ments of matches that had been struck by
the thief to light him TO his plunder.
Tramps, too, will enter barns to sleep, and
smoke there in the glldst of all the inflam
mable contents. The refusal to respond tc
their demands also is not unfrequenlly re-
veDged by incendiarism. The people gen
orally are much aroused on the subject
and it will go hard with any who arr
caught in firing buildings.

The Third Term.

The third-term talk at Washington con-
tinues to impress the political observer and
Spectator there. A correspondent of the
New York Sun, after an absence of some
months, is surprised to find its fresh mo-
mentum. He especially notes that persons
who before sneered at it as an impossibility
now admit that it is quite among the con-
tingencies of the future, while he reports
Brother.in-law Casey as saying to him
that, as the representative of loyalty and
Professionalism, Grant would have more
positive strength in 1876 than he had in
1868 or 1879. The conclusions of the cor
respondent are, therefore, as follows:
First-'Ihat Grant has definitely made
up his mind to secure denomination from
the republican party, and that he will use
all the power he can exercise to compel It,.
Secondly-That If the present members
of his cabinet, who are supposed to be am
bilious of presidential honors themselves,
don't become cordial co-operators in the
third-term project, they will have to give
way to men like Chandler. 1t Is no secret
that Postmaster General Jewell will have

Montpelier.

A recent trip to Montpelier has given me
an opportunity to see the great change and
improvement that have taken place there
in consequence of the recent fires, which
nearly oblterated the business portion of
the village. Long and handsome blocks of
brick stores have replaced the old wooden
buildings which formerly lined the greater
part of Main and State streets. Fortunately
but one or two modern cdifices were en-
braced in the burnt district, so that, with
all the good buildings saved, and the
shabby ones replaced with still better ones,
Montpelier shines out second only to Rut-
land among the Vermont towns for the
comeliness of its public and business struc-
lures, as well as the elegance of its
churches and private residences. In ad-
dition to the vast amount of rebuilding
upon the burnt district, the new Pavilion
hotel, not inferior in style to any (unless it
be the new Brooks house at Brattleboro
and the Weldon at st. Albans) in the state,
will be opened to the public in January.
1t is not only large, but thoroughly built,
with all the modern improvements and
every device for the comfort and accom-
mediation OF guests and its immediate
vicinity to the capitol, court house, rail
road station and the business centers will
give ii entire control of the best business
