BURLINGTON CoMMENCEMENT.-The literary en-
tertainment provided for the annual commence
ment of the University of Vermont is of more
than ordinary excellence. Judge Robert 5. Hale,
who delivers the annual address before the alumni
will need no introduction to Vermont audience,
His fame is national rather than sectional. DIR.
Hoyey, of Massachusetts, who delivers the Sunday
evening address before the Society for Religious
Inquiry, is strong thinker and fine speaker
The poem by DR.. 5. 5. Cutting, of Brooklyn, it is
safe to say, will Ne far above the average of Com
mencement pc Try, and the addresses at the cele'
bration of the Medical Department promise to be
of unusual interest. Some of the other features
also will be noticeable. We learn that the exhi
bition in the Park Gallery of Art will include THU
year fine collection of oil paintings by distin
guished American artists

SHARP PRACTICE-Ihe famous trotting horse
q" Dan Rocket" well known in this section as
spry and honest horse, appears to have fallen into
bad hands recently. At Il late race near Boston
he was entered in the two-thirty-four class, and
with the utmost ease won the two first heats over
his three competitors. The horse merely logged
around in two-twenty-iiye and ON examination
was found to be as cool as cucumber, not having
exerted himself at all to make the above time,
Now came the trick. The pool sellers on
the ground and the betting had been heavy on
Rocket" while the field 4" had sold low.
Rocket was taken one side, and as was supposed,
dosed with ether by the owner or driver, and
otherwise doctored so that he could not make
decent time in the third heat The race went on
and Rocket was nowhere he didn't reach the
distance pole in the third heat, Then came the
cry fraud" and regular row was got up. Al
ter the usual parleying and seolding the race pro
ceeded, but the judges declared the pool off, 81
and those who had undertaken to win money OIL
the field " by the trick with Rocket, lost the
money.

A CENTENNIAL CANNoN.--There is at Concord,
N. H., cannon which was captured at the Battle
of Bennington, which is under the charge of the
state, and ought to have place in the coming
celebration. Unlike our cannon at the State House,
it has still the original carriage, which is the most
curious part of the mechanism. The tires of the
wheels consist of unconneced bars of iron spiked
or bolted to the felloes, as the oldest men remem-
Der cart-wheels to have been made.

Too LARGE-The Commissioner of Pensions
says that the Concord agency will have a larger
number of pensioners than any other agency in
the country. There is considerable doubt in our
mind if the territory consolidated by the recent
reduction in the number Of pension agents is not
too large to make the consolidation economical.
We think that possibly one agent in Vermont,
instead of two, would have made an economical
and iudcious change. But the idea of CONSOLE
dating Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont into
district is at least, experiment, the FEAST
bility of which we greatly doubt.

Decoration Day WAS observed with appropriate
services. The II, A, Eaton Post and others met at
the Town Hall, at nine o'clock, A. from whence
they marched to the cemetery. The procession
was headed with marshal music, followed by the
flag of our Union, and three banners, with the fol-
lowing mottos, to wit: "our patriot dead !" Let
them sleep beyond the din of battle" Cover
them over with beautiful flowers" The graves
were decorated with crowns, crosses aud bouquets,
after which an earnest and thrilling prayer was
offered by our pastor Rev. r. Sanderson, with
several appropriate selections of quartette sing
ing, which were finely rendered, and remarks by
comrades. They then proceeded to Rochester, to
join them in the sad memorial rites. After the
graves were decorated, they listened to an able
and eloquent Grafton delivered by Rev. r. Sander
son. The services Of the day passed off to the
apparent satisfaction Of all.

the carrying ont OF this humanitarian purpose
does not mpel us to abolish Memorial Day to

Glorious the doom and beautiful the lot;
