Mcssrs. Rice s. Gage of the Grand Pa

liabilities estimated at 100000 Mr..
Gage was formerly landlord at Bellows
Falls. Mr.. Charles +. Dodge, formerly of
Montpelier, was the confidential man in
the office, but this failure docs not affect
him.
Express charges, and especially on small
package, are simple robbery, reaching to
the extreme limit of extortion. Fortu-
natcly, the mails offer relief, so far rs
parcels up to four pounds arc concerned,
the postage now being only eight cents per
pound on all mail matter Of the second
class, which includes everything except
that chnrgeablc with letter postage. So
says the Argus.
The directors of the state prison propose
to have Baptist, Congregational, Episcopal
and Methodist clergymen at Windsor act
as chapains alternately. We quite agree
with the Montpelier Argus that the Roman
Catholic priest who regularly ofllciates at
Windaor should alternate with other de.
nominations, rs perhaps some of that faith
are within the prison walls.
\ certain Whitehall gentleman on Sun
dry last pulled off his rubbers on seating
himself in church. When church was out
he discovered that he had but one rubber
on. lie returned to his pew but could not
find the missing arlicc We will not say
whether he INDUCED in vulgarity or not at
that moment, but when he arrived home he
made the discovery that he had placed both
rubbers on the same foot. He was then
blind fool"

4 correspondent of the Ayy,As, who has
been on recent trip, says that on the ar
rival at Wells River OF ''mxed train
of dozen freight cars and n passenger car
attached from below, out stepped an elderly
gentleman Of medium height, light gray
hair, (nlnost whitc), side whisiers and
rather thick set. Ho wore an olvc-colored
ovcrcoat and jaunty little Scotch cap,
tinged with red checks, and commenced
conversiny freely with those in the depot
while trying to get some smoke from the
stump of a cigar. On inquiry we learned
that this Sudden apparition was Hon. Luke
p. Poland en- route from Washington to
spend the holidays at his home in ST Johns
bury. During his brief stop, the judge
conversed freely and aifably with those
about lin. lilo was looking exceedingly
hale aud hearty. His late political reverse
does not seem to have taken his flesh off,
Mt all, nor depressed his spirits. We hear
the judgi suggested as the republican pres
idential candidate. He may be the ''com-
ing man" yet We looked in vain for that
blue coat and brass buttons. The Arkan-
sas darkles must have "frozen" to them ar-
ter all.
