A Vacation.

Week before last, we laid dull care
aside, put on our "Snnday best" and
with carpet-bag in hand stepped on
board the train for White River June
ton, over the w. r. r., which for
scenery, at this season Of the year, IS
unsurpassed in New England. Here
we enjoyed lunch at the famous res
taurant of the Messrs. Bawons, In the
depot, where You han haye "squale
meal" if you wish, at a reasonable
price. Here we stepped on board
train due north, over the Central Yer
mont and up the White River Valley,
which affords splendid view at this
season. We stepped off the train at
Montpelier, and pointed for the
"Union,' kept by our friend, George
p. Foster, brother of A NJ. Foster Of
Woodstock, and the prince of land
lords He chartered ''dobbin" and
carriage for lis, as his teams were all
out. We visited "Seminary Hill, the
location Of the Methodist school at
Montpelier. This chill" overlooEs the
village and was the rendezvous of the
government troops, during the "late
unpleasantness." Our Methodist
brethren own it now and have flour
ishing college here. From here you
pass over to "Clay Hill" and view the
Catholic cemetery on the side hill,
where the deceased have to scratch
to hold their position-with a ponder
Gus wooden cross erected in the cen
tire of the yard, which can be seen for
miles. Notwithstanding the incline
of the ground the place is romantic.
From this we passed down through
the village BY way of State street, to
"Green Mountain Cemetery" a mile
out of the village, and one of the
tiuest in the state, comprising some
fifty acres. Here summer first unfolds

After IA drive around the spacious
roads in the yard, we very reluctantly
took our leave and returned TO the
hotel. The next day we attend the
Democratic Convention, visited the
State House and other puolic build

yearly pour into the State. Another cheering
sign for the Empire State is the steady impor-
