PRIsoN DIsCIPLNE.-Col0nel Clarke, Of
the St. Adams Messenger, gave an interest
ing address IN the Representatives Hall, the
other evening, on Prison Discipline. -
Vermont, according to the speaker, needs a
work-house to which should be sentenced
persons convicted of minor offences. Such
an institution could easily be made self-sup-
porting, and would result in much moral
benefit 10 the convicts, and probably in
small though certain income to the State
The work-house or house of correction
should be centrally located, and the county
in which it Is located should CON
tribute more towards its erection than
the others. in consideration Of being
relieved from maintaining a county Jail.
The directors of this Institution should be
appointed by the legislature, and they in
turn should appoint the officers. Mr..
Clarke thought that such an institution
could be erected for fifty thousand dollars,
at the outside. Migrants should be SEN
fenced to labor in work-house, and society
relieved of burden which is as onerous as
1t Is disagreeahle. Repeated short convic-
tons to such institutions only conduce to
creating an expense TO the State, without
making anv moral improvement in the
convict.

CONTESTED WILL. - A St. Adams CORES
pendent OF the Boston Herald sends this
Several of the relatives of the late Hiram
Be llows, Of St. Adams, who consider them,
selves aggrieyed By the smallness of tbei,
remembrance in his will or by the entir,
absence OF their names in that document
have instituted pr parations to contest It's
validity before the Probate Court. and have
retained as counsel for that purpose Hon
Edward j. Phelps, of Burlington. Hon
George A. Ballard, OF Fairfax, and Messrs
ii. :, Royce, Noble, Davis Il Smith and
Wilson ~ Hall, of st. Adams. The grounds
upon which their claim will be based are
mental unsoundness on the part of the tes
tatCr. enc undue influence brought to bear
upon him. Several nephews, nieces and
other near relatives Of the deceased with
whom he was on perfectly friendly terms
were entirely omitted from all mention in
the will. There are also some singular he
quests in the will. 1t is stated by one Of
the counsel for contestants, that at tl,e
time Hiram Bellows removed from Fairfax
to 81. Adams, an inventory of his propertv
was made, which showed him to be worth
upwards OF S300,0 900. and it is also stated
and declared susceptible of proof. that at
one time, since that, he purchased abont
$500 600 worth OF Government bonds. The
amount OF his fortune at the time of his
death is estimated by persons acquainted
with his affairs and competent to Judge. a.
between 100000 and 5000, 900, but the
executor, Hon. Edward A. Sowles, who is
also the husband of Mr.. Bellows adopted
daughter, and bis friends now make the
public assertion that his fortune amounted
70 Or no >. more than between s2OO, 900 and
$500, 1000.

We fully agree with our neighbor Of the
Chronicle in urging contributors to the press
to cultivate good, plain bold, round hand,
and have their eye on the pot hooks" 1t is
very desirable that writer for the press
should he legiblc. 1t is disagrceable for a
faded editor to reject communication, but
it is great wrong for a contributor to place
that temptation before him. And then the
mistakes Of the press are often due to the
illegible manuscripts of writers for it.
Sometimes the sublimest illusions of the poet
are spoiled by his "angels" being trans
formed into "angles," and the eloquence
Of the orator instead of being extremely
happy" is simply pappy." The hasty.
illegible. abbreviating contributor is the
scourge of torment of both editors and
eompositors, and it is high time he should
literally mind his p's and Us. Another
rule, daily dinned into the ears of writers
for the press and daily disregarded by them,
is to write on one side OF the paper only.
In well-conducted newspaper Offices no re-
gard is paid to communications written on
both sides of the paper, unless they are OF
very exceptional interest and value-and
even then they generally cause more trouble
than they are worth

TINS SvLLACE CAsE.-The counsel for
Aldrich. the recent cOntesting elccsor in
this State, state that they have had no con-
sultation since the action of the board Of
county clerks, and therefore it has not been
decided, as stated, to apply at the January
term Of the Supreme Court for an iniunc-
ton, on the ground that the board has done
an illegal act in declaring Sollace elected an
elector, regardless of his ineligibility. Since
the electors viii meet and discharge their
duty early in December, it is not likely
that if an injunction was applied for and
obtained in January, it could reverse their
action.

autumn, pastures that had become dry and

drained properly and Efficiently by the Cir

the Schuylkill water, the hundreds of other
structures-.he State buildings, the restaur-

their water from source impregnsted with

users. These latter buildings supplying the
wants Of hundreds Of thousands of people,
got their drainage through the mar
row canal formed by the sand spit sepa-
rating the current next the shore from the
main body of the Schuylkill river. Two
little streams, running in rayines and
emptvlng into this canal, were used for
draining purposes. Close to the outlets of
these, was the powerful pump that sup
piled the hundreds of structures with water
Toward this pump was poured the vile cur
