The spirit, if not the letter, OF the votes
passed at the annual meetings of the Rut-
land graded school district, required all
future meetings to be called at the town
hall. The school house is small and incon-
yenient. and located at distance FROM the
center of the voting population, yet the
annual meeting, this year, is called at the
school house instead of at the town hall.

Assailing the integrity of Secretary Brs-
tow is not very profitable business. As
soon as charges are made, they are met, sat
isfactorly explained and exploded, and the
result is that he stands higher in the conf
dence of the people than ever. His con-
spicuous integrity and fidelity to every
trust reposed in him only makes the short
comings of the Belknaps, Babcocks and
Delanos the more hideous.

The votes given to the presiding officer of the
senate before the first Wednesday in jan

are amenahle to any general law for the
improper performance OF their duties. The
person who is appointed messenger, however,

approved March ], 1872. which provides that
II he shall neglect TO perform the services
required Of him he shall forfeit the sum OF
$1,000. The messengers may or may not be
electors, but heretofore the latter have usu-
ally selected one of their number to deliver
the votes To the presiding officer of the Senate.
The expenses OF the messengers are betrayed
by the United States, and they arc paid at the
rate OF twenty-five cents per mile from the
place of voting 10 the scat of the national
government. The messengers from the Pa

A dispatch 10 The Baltimore Gdzette SAYS:
The GIahamite company expected to
complete the laying of their pavement on the
north side of the avenue, thus affording a
fine drive from the Capitol to the Treasury
building, but the snow will probably delay
them for a couple of days more. Tomorrow

the work, and on the south side IL is not one
fourth completed. and, with ordinary winter
weather, il will not be before January next.

tension of time. but citizens holding prop
erty on the avenue seem 10 think they do not
deserve IT,"
They do not deserve il for the reason that
they have not put an adequate force upon the
work. In the opinion OF practical men. the
pavement could have been completed in a
satisfactory manner during the pleasant
weather, had a sufficient number OF men
been employed in gangs nj different points.

Of the electors reach the President of the
Senate certified in the manner required by
law, and with every seal of authenticity

CHRISTMAS SHADOWS.

CHRISTMAS SHADOWS.
The needles have dropped from her nervous hands,
AS she watches the dying embers glow,
For out from the broad old chimney place
Come ghostly shadows of .'slong ago.
Shadows that carry her back again
To the time of her childhood's artless joy;
Shadows that show her a tiny, row
OF stockings awaiting the Christmas toy;
Shadows that show her the faces loved
Of many a half-forgotten friend: 50
And the Christmas eve it is passing by,
While Past and Present in shadows blend.
Alone i'll the dear old homestead now,
With only the shadows of 'Auld Lang Syne."
The clock is ticking the moments on,
While the tears in her aged eyes still shine.
+ only from out the silen mt world
The world of shadows which mock her So
ONE might return to his vacant chair,
To sit with her in the fire flights glow!
If only Was that a white, white hand
That seemed to beckon her out Of the gloom?
Or was it the embers' last bright flash
That startled the shadows around the room?
The Christmas eve it has passed at length;
A glorious day from the night is born;
The shadows are gone from earth away,
And the bells are ringing for Christmas morn.
But, ali! by the broad old chimney place
The angel Of death keeps watch alone,
For straight to the Christ-child's beckoning arms
The longing spirit hath gladly flown.
