in the House of 1856 in which he was the demo-
cratic member from Barnard, is fresh in the menu
DRY Of veterans Of the Third House Early in the
session. some member introduced motion that
the resident olergymen of Montpelier be invited
to ofiiciate in rotation as chaplain. Various
amendments were suggested, such AS proceeding
to elect chaplain that the speaker invite such
cergymena as he saw fit, and that clergymen, mem
bers Of the House perform the sacred duty Father
Stevens, of Fast Montpelier, who was an earnest
Quaker desired that the House spend five minutes

had been grayely discussed for an hour or more

EXPLOSION N Thursday morn
ing about nine O'Clock, there was an explosion Of
ntro-glycerine at Wilder's Mills, situated about
two miles below I.yndonyille. Three Of the men
st work upon the mill went into the storehouse
where we're the cartridges and it Is supposed that
FIRE in some way was brought in close proximity
~ the cartridges aud the explosion followed.
The men were all blown high in the air and fell
quite a distance from the building, terribly man
gled. one man had large piece taken from his
shoulder as though 1t were cut with a knife, and
one side was all cut and torn. Hecannot survive.
One Of the other two is equally injured and his
fate is equally certain. The third may possibly
survive. One man was blown hundred yards or
more The accident was caused through sheer
carelessness on the part Of some Of the men. one
report says they brought the cartridges up to the
FIRE TO warm them. The men who suffered from
the explosion were foreigners, and some Of the
other employees were from Canada, and were 50
frightened by the explosion that they immedi-
ately picked up their tools and left ior home,

bennington Monument and Celebration.

Probably our readers are well aware that on
August 10th next occurs the one hundredth
anniversary Of the Battle Of bennington. and
mat the people Of the state win naturally take
an interest In seeing the event duly commence
iated. The battle was one Of the most important
oil the Revolutionary war, as It was the first Of q
series OF victories which led 10 Burgoyne's sur
render at Saratoga. Before that, all had been
dark and doubtful now dawn appeared and after
the capitula,on Of Burgoyne and the consequent
intervention Of France, success was assured
bennington was, therefore, decisive point In the
long contest, and the promptness and bravery Of
stark and his coadjutors should be gratefully re-
membered by this generation The erection Of n
monument there is in contemplation, and what
can fairly be said in favor Of such project will
be said by Charles NJ. Bliss, Esq, Secretary Of
the bennington Historical Society. before a egis-
iaii'e committee on Thursday evening Of this
week, In the Hall Of the House Of Representa-
uves. Mr.. Bliss is an able writer and acute
thinker, and has the deserved reputation Of being
good speaker. So no doubt he will make an
interesting argument for bennington The mem
bers OF the legislature, and all others Interested,
should be present to hear what he has to say.

REFORM SCHOOL COMMITTEE. The Legislative
Committee on the Reform School has held a scs-
sion, at which ex-governor Dillingham;, one OF the
trustees, made a statement giving a full history
OF the institution and It's future needs. He is of
the opinion that one hundred and twenty-five
boys and twenty girls can be comfortably cared
for in the present building at Vergennes. lie
favored requiring towns who sent persons to the
Reform School to pay portion of the expense,
say fifty dollars year. which would reduce the
number Of inmates for towns which sometime
sent their paupers there to save the expense Of
supporting them at home, by assuming them
guilty OF some crime and then having them sem
fenced by a court for a term Of years. At the

Fish STocKISG.-Dr Goldsmith, one of the
Fish Commissioners Of the state, intends stocking
the winooski river during next week. with poto-
mac bass, one Of the finest and gamiest fish in
the country This kind were introduced into the
Potomac river five years ago, and the river now
abounds with them, immense quantities being
taken yearly The Doctor estimates that in five
years, with proper protection, the river will fur
nish an abundant quantity to supply all upon the
banks Of the river, but not enough to thoroughly
stock Lake Champlain. The proposition for a
central state hatching-house for supplying the
streams and ponds of the state with spawn we
learn, with pleasure, will be revived this fall
