The number of men out Of employment

A gentleman, wcll-known in this section,
writes 81 like your paper well. 1t ID
bold, independent, and to the farmer, In
valuable. 1t is one of the best journals
have ever read. THE GLOBE is worth all
the others that come to me, and l take
four" Thanks to our correspondent for
his good opinion. TIE GLOBE in the fu-
ture, as in the past, will endeavor to merit
public patronage.
There were only about thousand votes
cast for county commissioner. L. Howard
Kellogg OF Benson was elected by sos ma
jority. The town clerks of Rutland, Fair
haven, Mt. Holly, Tinmouth, Wells and
West Haven failed to make returns, ac-
cording to law, of the votes cast in their
several towns, which accounts for the
small vote counted. Several towns re-
csived no votes for county commissioner.
The "Hernit in New York, in his last
letter, published in Tuesdays GLOBE,
speaking of Mrs. Coghlan's memoirs, says :
"This is a very small volume, and though
by no means as valuable as others, 10 never
theless, a literary curiosity. The Aston
library, with all its pretension, does not
contain copy as learned by application
at its desk Gabriel Furman, former
resident of this city, had one which ID now
in the..state library at Albany, and this is
the only one l have met" Although 30
rare book, we were shown copy in the
library of Rutland gentleman yesterday.
