one from Pssrcs, Chehahs and Ma
son; one from ClAllap, Island, Jef-

san. Snohomish and Whatcom, and
uae from Columbia, Stevens and
Whitman. 1t provides that the
qualification Of the delegates shall
be that they are electors and have
resided at least two years in the dis
tricts in which they are elected next
preceding the election. Tie bill re-
quires the delegates elected to meet
mt Walla-walla, on the I'd Tuesday
in June, 1873, to frame a Constitu-
ton. The instrument so framed is
60 be submitted, for ratification or
rejection, at the next general cleo
tion, and the bill provides that the
Convention, If it deems it expedient,
may frame and propose any article
for separate submission to the peo-
people, which, if not approved, shall
mot become . part of the Constitu-
tion. The counties of Idaho, Sho-
shone and Nez Perez, in Idaho Ter
ritory, are requested to select del
egate to the Convention, who shall
be a member thereof, with all its
privileges except that of voting, and
the sum of two hundred dollars is
appropriated as the compensation OF
such delegate. The delegates are
each to receive five dollars per day
and actual travelling expenses, to
and from the Convention. The time
for transacting the business is not
fixed by the act. 1t is generally
understood that the bill will be
amended so as to limit the time to
three weeks.
In our opinion, three weeks is am
pie time, and with this limitation. tho
entire cost of the Convention W Guild
not exceed three thousand dollars.
A further provision should be made
in the bill authorizing the publica-
tion of the Constitution in a sufficient
nnmber of newspapers in the vari-
ous parts Of the Territory, for some
time before the vote in its ratification.
With these additions, we would pro-
nounce the bill good one.

Prof. u. Kellogg will give the next
lecture of the Graded school course at
Academy hall, next Friday evening, on
Expression"
Tho annual meeting OF the Addison
County Sunday School Association was
held In the lecture room of the Congre-
gational church, on the 9TH inst. After
reports from the various officers and
committees, Rev. T.. L. Hooker offered
resolutions to the effect that the presi-
dent and secretary of each county asso-
citation be an especial committee, with
power TO add as many others to their
number as thoy deem best, for the pur-
pose of holding bible services in the va
rious towns. These resolutions were
adopted. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: President,
Rev. w. N. Bacon; secretary, q. p.
Mead; treasurer, +. A. Bond; execu-
tive committee, Rev. Il. p. Hooker,
Rev. Mr.. Rowsom, Rev. G.. Hibbard.
The concert by the Choral Society,
on Tuesday evening last, was, we think
the best 1t ever gave. The program
was more attractive than usual, and q
large and appreciative audience attest
ed to its excellence, by listening at
tcntivcly till late hour, with frequent
applause and recalls. The aim of the
director is evidently to make the So
ciety what its name would indicate, a
chorus society, and the heavier and
more difficult choruses from Haydn's
Mass were so nicely sandwiched in
with lighter aud more gleesome ones,
that the effect was much more pleasing
than. it would have been had they form
ed a continuous part of the program.
After listening to an entertainment so
good throughout, one would hardly
feel justified in particularizing, unless
1t be to mention those parts which
seemed to us novel for this Society.
Heretofore, instrumental parts have
been from the piano only, so it was n
pleasing surprise, and one which de-
tracted not whit from the excellence
of the entertainment, to hear Hart
mans "Facilita" so gracefully done on
cornot in the hands of our band lead
er; and q college freshman with his
flute held the audience in breathless
stiffness, while he rendered the beauti-
full "Transc ription from Mozart's eau
berfloete," by Nicolson. That these
were very pleasing parts was evinced
by the hearty recalls, which in both
cases were responded to. The faces at
the piano looked young, but the cool
ness and ease with which they "held
the fort" under the severe cross fire of
Haydn aud Pinsuti was deserving of
communication while in single
handed engagement with Blumenthal,
her rapid rally and his utter defeat
ELECTED storm of applause. AS the
society goes on in the study of art, tai
ent is developed and new voices are
heard in song. On this occasion, it
was a contralto which deserves no Sec
ond place. Tho Society have rented a
hall and piano, and invite all musical
people to Join them in their study,
which is both pleasant and profitable.
They resume practice at once, and ex-
pect soon to give us another musical
treat surprising this, even.

months at health retreat.
d. G. Barbour has made an ar
rangeincnt with Noble Hill, Esq, by
which he will return to the Hill farm
and occupy 1t Tor term of years.
1t is said that the farm lately sold
by Henry Cross 10 Marshall Smith, has
been bought by Mr. Broughton, of
West Bridport, who will occupy it, and
that Mr. Broughton's farm Is to be oc-
cupied by Cyrus Smith.
--Iamcs Russell has been so unfortu-
nate as TO have his hand severely torn
in a threshing machine. He has the
deep sympathy of his neighbors. We
since learn that the hand has been am
putatcd ut the wrist By DR.. Blaisdell.
The Addison county Good Tenn
plar's Union held their quarterly un-
ion at Bridport, on Wednesday. The
order was well represented, some
members coming from Lincoln.
The evening exercises were public.
The Methodist church was we'll filled
with an attentive and interested audi
cncc. Rccitations and songs were given
with good success in the early part of
the evening, followed by an address
from Rev. w. w. Winchester. Rev.
Mr.. Campbell was present and added
some remarks.

MIR. Daniel Holmes and wife, as W.
~, etc, of Whiting Grange, attended
the State Grange last week, at Mont
pclicr, enjoying n good time.
The Rev. Mr.. Flower and Mr.. d.
Holmes were chosen as delegates by the
Congregational church, to attend the
ministerial convention held ~ Wcy-
bridge, this week.
One Of our young men, Mr.. XII
bourn, has taken room in the county
boarding house for crime committed. Il
sentence Of five years hard labor in tho
state prison would be none too severe
for such scamps.
Mr.. A. II. Bryant has taken con-
tract to draw large quantity of wood
to the paint works in Forestdale, this
winter. He with part of his family
have moved to his place of labor. The
remainder attend to matters at home.
Mr.. Abel Walker has brought to
light the bell stolen from the school
house in his district last year, and sold
1t to neighboring district in Leicester,
receiving the sum of seventeen dollars.
If the voters of that district had the
pluck of a good old goose, the thief
would have spent part of his time in
learning a trade in Windsor. And
even now, if they had the spirit Orwell,
we wont say what, Abel would place
the money received for the bell in the
district treasury, subject to the call of
the district.
Notwithstanding the bad going,
good audiences were present at both
churches last Sabbath, and the Sunday
schools were made interesting by the
labors of the superintendent; and il is
noticeable fact, that with but one or
two exceptions, the entire congregation
at the Baptist church remain and take
active part in the Sabbath school exer-
cises every Sunday. BY the way, we
learn that efforts are being made to
form an entire new choir in the Baptist
church this winter, to be composed of
young singers mostly, with the renown-
ed DR.. ID. as the head chorister. We
understand that Mr.. A. r. b. and his
family of Young maidens have been in
vited as "bass" and "soprano." What
the feelings of Dea. c., and Brother H.,
and those singers who have occupied the
gallery for from fifteen to forty years,
will be. to sit below and listen 10 the
new choir, can be better imagined than
expressed.

"A religious excitement prevails at
Bristol and Monkton, and it seems to
be more thoroughly working among the
hardest classes. AT Monkton, rum
drinkers, tobacco-chewers and adulter-
are among the converted. Christians,
too, acknowledge their backsliding
from their former Christian faith, and
declare they will not hereafter be
stumbling blocks to the sinner and un-
converted. The meeting house at the
Borough is nightly filed with all classes
of society, asking God TO forgive their
sins, convert them from their wicked
ways, and make them devoted wholly
to Himself.

Some of the patrons of the Register
in this vicinity wish the local cores

ate the locals of South Starksboro and
claim them for Bristol. Your cores
pendent is of the opinion the fault is in
the Register office. Who will rise and
explain the matter?
There was little blundcr of that
kind two or three weeks since, we be-
lieve, when Bristol was credited, among
other things, with heavy snowfall
which rightfully belonged to Starksbo-

NE " IA VEN.

Last Wednesday evening, the
beautiful residence of Mr.. Ezekiel Han
chett, at New Haven Mills, was the
scene of very pleasant gathering
of those who had come to pay
their respects to his son Charlie and his
bride, who had just returned from their
wedding trip. Some ten couples were
present, friends Of the newly married
pair. After the guests had welcomed
the bride and groom and exchanged So
cial greetings, the bridal party led the
way to the supper tables, which fairly
groaned with the most tempting of
viands, to which all did full justice.
After supper an hour or more was
spent socially, when they separated,
wishing Ada and Charles much happi-
ness for the future.
