they speak in highest terms of praise. Being
tired, they proceeded to camp irregularly

their officers:
Captain, H HOsford.
LIST Lieut.. L w Follett.
I'd Lieut. Henry Lanthrop. -

of Peterboro, were the next to arrive, after
a long ride via. of Rutland, their train I'M
loading at 1880 p. IN. They Immediately

Their camp quarters were quickly put in
shape for comfortable living, and the boys
took to, their tents, their straw and their
camp-fires as readily as if it was their regu-
lar style of living.
The other companies arrived at a very late
hour.

Inc AYets1 n Camp E,bon AIIen.

Asthe sun broke upon camp Ethan Allen

smile welcome to the gallant "Vets," who
were TO come and resume "tenting ON the
old camp ground" Some detachments came
on the morning trains. and many of the mem
beers of the Bennington brigade came
in singly and in parties during the
day. And went to their quarters to
prepare them for occupancy and en-
ioyment as in the days of yore
when. after a weary march. or sharp en-.
gagement, they sought the refreshing shade
OF IN ! and chewed thdlf hard tack with
many a curse aUit and It's inhabitants. Be-
fore noon the very scenes about the camp
showed that many of the boys were biyou-
acked at about $50 the Addison county bat
TALON and the Washington county battalion
arrived and, the first preceded by the Middle
burg COrnet Band, while the Mortified Cor
net band accompanied the second, marched
to camp. Later In the day the Windham
county veterans under Colonel George w.
Hooker, and his gallant staff arrived, and
marching through crowds of enthusiastic ad-
mirers on all our streets, sought the welcome
shelter and repose of their quarters. At about
Z o'clock the Rutland county battalion led
by Colonel James H. Dyer, and pre-
ceded by the WinoOski oornet band,
with that veteran City Point
dock-builder, Maj, Nye Austin, as drum ma
jor, marched from the depot to camp, and,
after some delay in getting tents, settled
themselves down to rations, to camp fires
and, at last, to sleep.
A BANNER reporter visited the camp at
o'clock in the evening, where all was bus

of their commands and their own, and some

England, and the ancestor Of long line of
prluters and publishers. To this Timothy
Sreen is due the honor OF originating the
nrst printing office and newspaper in YER
mont, although he was never a citizen of
the State, but sent his brOthers-in-law, Ju-
dab Paddock Spoouer, and Alden Spooner,
70 run the office. The SpOOners were de-
scendants of William SpOOner, who was in.
dentured as an apprentice to John Holmes
gentleman. at New Plymouth lnOw Plym-
outhl, Mass in March, 1887, so that, If Con-
neetlcut was our mother. the good old Bay
state was our prolific grandmother. Prolific,
say. foramong her descendants in Vermont
were Judah Paddock SpoOner, of Westmin-
ster, windsor, and Fairhaveu; Alden Spoon
ssr, OF Windsori .yeduthan Spooner, Of Bur:
nngton and st. Adams; Wyman Spooner, of
hoyalton and Chelsea, who has recently been
nonored as Northumberland Of Wiscon-
SIN Anthony Haswell, of Bennington, and
pretty long list of graduates from the Office
OF Isaiah Thomas, of Worcester, Mass. These
and Others of the early printers aud publish
in their day : lights in the little
circles in which they dwelt. several Of them
honored by the people, notably Matthew
Lyon and two of the SpOOners, and doubtless
all Of them were worthy Of higher honors
and richer rewards than usually fall to the
craft, even in this day Of greater lights
deeper culture, and higher civilization. But
let us not complain ! It is honor enough for
any mum TO be good editor, or q good "
printer, since these professions have the
widest Of all fields of honorable labor, and
the noblest Of all ends-that of dong good.

The Worthington advance., 1877-03-08


The closing day of Congress was
marked by several disorder]y scenes. An al
tercation took place between Lamar and Doug
lass in the hall OF the House, just after the
adjournment of the Democratic caucus. It had
its origin in the intoxication OF Douglass,
which caused Lamar, chairman of the caucus
to rule him out. The order exasperated Doug
lass, who at the termination of the caucus
assailed Larmar with vituperation, and but
for intervention of friends, according to re-
ports, Lamar would undoubtedly have shot
him. Glover chairman OF the real estate pool
committee assaulted correspondent of a
Baltimore paper lor rejecting on him, and
the correspondent in turn assaulted the Ser
geant-at-Arms of Glover's committee for CIV
ing information as to the authorship of the
article. Still later MIR. Page was urging $780,
600 appropriation for fire proof building for
the National Museum when MIR. Morrison said
it was avicious and pernicious measure. MIR.
page who was standing within two feet OF
him, in the area, said that it was not true,
whereupon Morrison caught him by the
throat with one hand. Noturther demonstra-
tion was made, the members around quietly
separating the disputants, and business went
on as if no such interruption had taken place
The bill was rejected.

Is Your Note Good

A Boston lawyer was called on a
short time ago by a boy, who inquired
if he had any waste paper to sell.
The lawyer had crisp, keen way of
asking questions, and is. moreover, a
meth odical man So, pulling out
a large drawer, he exhibited his stock
of waste paper.
"Will you give me two shillings for
that?''
The boy looked at the paper very
doubting]y moment and offered if-
teen cents.
sDone - said the layer, and tn
paper was quickly transferred to the
bag of the boy, whose eyes sparkled
as he lifted the weighty mass.
Not till it was slowed away did he
announce that he had no money g.
''No money? How do you expect to
buy paper without money q
Not prepared to state his plan, the
boy made no reply.
"Do you consider your note good %
asked the lawyer.
eyes, sir
every well; if you consider your
note is good I,would just as soon have it
as the money; but if it is not good I
don t wan t it,
The boy affirmed that he considered
it good whereupon the lawyer wrote
note for fifteen cents, which the boy
signed legibly, and lifting his bag Of
paper trudged off.
Soon after dinner the little fellow
returned, and, producing the money,
l., l. b.
his note.
"Well,' said the lawyer, "this is
the first time l ever. knew of a note to
be taken up the day it was given. A
boy that will do that is entitled to the
note and money ,too," and, giving him
both, sent him on his way with a
smiling face and happy heart.
The boys note represented his
honor. A boy who thus keeps his
honor bright, however poor he may
be in worldly things, is an heir to an
inheritance which no riches can buy
the choice promise of God.

follow him in day or two with between forty
and fifty thousand more of the same sort, to
be placed in the same waters. With the one
hundred and fifty thousand salmon trout con-
trlbuted to these waters last summer, the
present installment will form pretty gener
GUS supply for that vicinity. About the mid
die of March fifty thousand brook trout will
also be deposited in the lake.
